Not really. This is just for those that have yet to apply the 19.5.3 Tether. Its also a slightly more simple method.

Likely you borked something with the build prop. Did you make a back up before you tried this?

You need to fxz with save data. You know how to do that I'm sure?

You know how to use adb and fastboot right. You likely used fastboot to flash TWRP.

I think im doing the right thing to get this working. I am downloading the latest firmware from the fxz people. 800 meg. I am just not sure 100% what to do with it after I get it

 

[Caseyk621]

Download fxz from here. Extract. Open command prompt in the folder that you extracted to, the one that contains system.img. Then type the command:

fastboot flash system system.img

That should get you back up and running. Then for WiFi tether use this xposed module. (Easier to apply easier to revert for future OTA.)

When I used the mfastboot instead of fastboot it took right off. I am updating the apps right now on my phone then I will try the wifi you linked above.

Cool. Glad you got it working. Yeah I'm using the xposed for WiFi tether. Working just fine.
