FoxFi to work with Cricket Wireless ??

[DJB628]

I have a none rooted Moto X and don't want to root it. Just curious if anyone here has got Foxfi to work with their Moto X on Cricket, I have a neighbor that has the same phone and asked me to help him set it up, and I was not able to get it working. So I figured I'd post here to see if anyone else has had success, if yes, please post your settings. :good:

its not carrier dependent. it has to do the version of Android. last i checked, FoxFi isn't compatible with any 4.4.x version.

Figured I'd check in to see if anything has changed. Has anyone been able to edit their build prop without ROOT to allow Tethering on Cricket wireless ?? Or figured out how to Tether without ROOTING, I've tried all I can find on the net but no luck.

If ROOTING is my only option, what suggestions are a simple ROOT process, to keep stock Rom and be able to Tether.

For that you can simply root with magisk using stock ROM. Also magisk have a module to enable tethering if you phone have locked (can't try because I have unlocked non American version).

Also after this time you don't have any warranty so root is not a problem in that way.

However you can't touch system file like build prop without accessing the system (root) afik.

If you are on stock 5.1 follow this link to root:

Change SuperSu in the guide with magisk zip (and install magisk manager after that) and TWRP 2.8.6.0 with TWRP 3.0.2/3.0.3/3.1.1

Question is this, by simply rooting, will it allow for editing the build prop for tethering, or do I also have to unlock the bootloader as well ??

I don't think you can rooting with bootloader locked.
Do it, it's easy and the warranty is already expired.
The only problem is with bank app or some app like Netflix or Pokemon go.
