Well been doing some playing today - learning how to root then trying a couple of roms all with success.
However i noticed that when i wanted to use gtalk / gmail etc it keeps saying my password / username does not match ?
The weird thing is i log into my account as per normal on my PC and username / password is fine.
I checked my mobile settings in my account and the correct device is listed.
Also same issue trying to access the market place - does not match, so now i cannot install any apps through the market
Even done a factory reset but no go.
Any ideas guys ?
thx
Try reflashing your current rom.

will do - thx
Well a re - flash did not work.
Also did another system reset - did not work ,.
But all is well ! What i did in the end was change my password online with my PC and turned off that 2 step verification method. Signed in with my Phone and -
Its all working again.
Dont know why it stopped in the first place though.
Haha!
sorry I have to laugh. If your using 2 step verification then your standard gmail password will not work on any third party applications including your android phone. You have to go to setting on your google account (on a pc) and tell it to authorise a new application, remove any you have already for your phone, and add a new one.
It generates a one-off use 15 character password. You need to do this each time you flash a new rom if your using 2-step.

I don't have this problem, and have never had it, but you've sparked my curiosity since I've never heard of that. I assume it's an optional method of authenticating your google account, but that's obviously a guess.
I've had a look at my google account settings and can't see anything that appears relevant. Where are the settings for this?
Ok I'm a bit lost and frustrated. I have a co-worker who just got an Incredible from Verizon running ICS 4.0.3. I have been unable to get it to connect to our exchange server. I have had this issue before with ICS as it seems to not like the SSL cert on the server. Normally I would just use the Accept all Certificates option to get around it, but this phone either doesn't have it or it is somewhere in the UI that I have not been able to find. Can anyone give me a clue? Or if it isn't a UI option, is there an alternative way to enable this function?
Regards,
Norm

That is strange. I am using my Dinc4g with my company's exchange server using SSL without any issue. There is a "requires SSL" checkbox in the manual setup screen of the exchange email account.

Yes I have that, but for some reason ICS devices have not liked the SSL cert and refuse to accept it. Usually I just have to check the other box that says 'Accept All Certificates' which forces it to accept the cert in cases where it is questionable (expired, not signed, etc), but this phone doesn't have that option. I'm sure it wasn't removed from this version of ICS, but they didn't provide the option to turn it on in the UI.
Tech code
Does anyone know the Technician Service Code? That might unlock a menu with the option I need. I've been looking around and can't find it for the LTE.
The Tether Hack and Tether hack with WiFi notification should work on stock rooted and stock de-odex I545VRUAMDK based ROMS.
If your rocking a custom ROM check with your ROM dev for changes to framework-res.apk BEFORE flashing this.
The other two mods, Remove E911 Icons, and disable Ongoing WiFi Noticiation NEED a de-odex ROM.
The orginal "Tether Hack doesnt always kill the WiFi Notification so I rebuilt the mods using a different method.
EDIT: One of the mods were removed because it caused GPS Issues.
Mods / Features
Tether Hack.zip
Adds Free tether for everyone
Removes ongoing WiFi Notification in status bar
Thanks to shoman94 for his help re-compiling framework-res. He has a good tut HERE!
Tether Hack - With WiFi Notification.zip
Adds free tether for everyone.
Keeps WiFi notification in the status bar
Remove E911 Icon.zip

I am curious how you got this to complie and run. I tried removing com.samsung.sgp and the line below it from my framework-res. I even added the + to the different files that needed it. When I would recompile my phone would just sit at the verizon logo.
Did you do anything else besides adding the + to the layout lines?

Nice job! I see it removes the Wifi notification, does it add a toggle for the wifi with all the other toggles?

After posting the exact same question in the Q&A thread, I found it was because I needed to clear the cache/dalvik cache (maybe one or the other, but I did both).
I was able to successfully boot after doing so.

Compression has to be set to "None" on Samsung framework-res.apk
Thanks for posting this, both of the mods work great.
Just a quick question. With regards to the Tether Hack, how does this compare to apps like pdanet which bypass the subscription check but still seem to use the stock Wifi Hotspot? I don't know what exactly is happening behind the scenes with these other apps, if they do anything other than bypass the check. As an unlimited data user, is it "safer" to use pdanet or the other apps, or are you really just doing the same thing they provide without the need for another app?
Thanks again.
i already am using the widget to bypass the subscription check, just curious exactly what this tether hack does. also does it allow for USB tethering as well
nice mod!

I never used one of those apps so I cant honestly tell you what they do. However I can tell you what this one does...
It bypasses the Samsung tether check and just turns it on.
I have used this mod for quite some time and never had any one complain about being busted by Big Red... However AT&T and this mod will get you busted if you use it excessively.

It hacks the tether feature samsung put in the ROM to call upon another app to verify the subscription.
So instead of
1. Tether app start
2. Call App to check subscription
3. Return results to tether app
4. Tether... Or not Tether...
It goes...
1. Start tether app
4. Tether.
Steps 2 and 3 are removed from the framework of the ROM
Yes on USB and if I wasnt so damned lazy I could even do Bluetooth... But this is good enough for 99.99% of the people. Who the hell uses Bluetooth anyways... Damn kids and there fads :angel:

These apps are using something momentary (IE: The hack has to happen every time you push the *Big Friendly Button*) to bypass the check; I'm not sure what and I haven't had the opportunity/need to go digging into the how. I use Widgetsoid and it does the same thing.
This hack is permanent; it happens when you flash and doesn't require anything afterward. It allows you to use the included app on the phone without having to download any free apps that might have limits or ads and there's no paid version (FoxFi, for example). It means there are less "moving parts" involved, and theoretically, there are fewer things that could go wrong.
As for is one "safer" than the other...I'll assume you mean any less likely to get you in trouble...and the answer is no. They're achieving the same thing through different methods; one's just a bit "cleaner" than the others.
EDIT: Didn't see Scott's post...damn pages. Still relevant, I think.

It will work fine. We used the exact same method to override the WiFi notification.
However after further testing... If you download something it will come back.
At least it did for me
Then again my phone is in a constant state of flux so... I may not even have the mod installed, lol
Is it possible to implent the smart stay notification removal hack. Currently, I have to choose between the RWC95 hack (ongoing wifi and smart stay) and yours. I'm having issues running the two hacks together as it seems some stuff cancels one another out. Could you possibly help and talk with him (RWC95) about merging your two hacks together? That'd be great
when you say this works on stock rooted i assume you mean it can work on odex roms right?

Which app are you using to tether?
Hi Scott,
Thanks for developing the Clean Rom!
I've used your clean rom on the S3 and the S4 and I must admit it's some good stuff you've developed. :laugh:
I've installed this tether hack but after reading this thread, I'm not clear on what app you are using to tether?
Is it the mobile hotspot app from the Big Red?
Or does Samsung have their own separate tethering app?
I know it's a newbie question, but any info would be appreciated.
Thanks again!
Where is the tether app icon? I can't find it anywhere...
Is this the TrevE tether?
What exactly does this do since we already have a hot spot with this phone?
Also, when flashing do the cache's need to be wiped?

Hi all. I'm on NC5 rooted and have two problems.
The first is that I can't set up a lock on my phone. All of the options are grayed out and it says that it has been"turned off by administrators, encryption policy or credential storage. Except none of the apps in the administrator section (android device manager or samsung knox) have been enabled, there is no encryption policy, and when I uninstall all certificates, the problem still remains.
The second is that the phone keeps reverting back to the samsung keyboard. After I set swiftkey as the default, it just switches back to samsung. Swiftkey isn't being greenified or anything else.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

The issue you are having regarding the lock screen is common and if you read the comments on Surge ' s thread you will find your solution. You will need to comment out a line in your build.prop.

To fix the "lock" issue, make the following change in build.prop found in system folder using Root Explorer or an equivalent app.
Find the line:
security.mdpp=none
And add the # symbol as noted below:
#security.mdpp=none "
Perfect! Thank you so much. This worked.
By "Bypass" this is meant to circumvent the 2.5GB/3GB/5GB tethering limit to T-Mobile's "Unlimited Nationwide 4G" data packages, and not tested on other plans.
I A NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING YOU DO TO YOUR PHONE!
As some of you may have noticed, with the NF6 update there is no longer a /system/csc/ folder or any customer.xml files to modify that hard-code the APN into the device. I did my usual tinkering and managed to get the bypass up and running again.
Please note that even with this bypass, your traffic will still be seen by T-Mobile as coming from foreign devices, and if they fail their HTTP-Header check for approved types of devices then the Tethering will not work without a VPN to hide the HTTP-Headers. Interesting enough, here are devices I have found to work in my travels.
iPhone
iPad
Android Phones & Tablets
Safari on OS X. (Yes, only Safari. Chrome doesn't work without hiding traffic in some way.)
Some things I have found will NOT work without hiding traffic:
Game systems. (PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo WiiU)
Windows Desktops/Laptops.
Browsers other than Safari on OS X.
Some tips to avoid using a VPN (since that leads to a slow down of connection speed) is if your system supports a user-agent switcher. This will change the user-agent in the HTTP-Headers of your traffic to appear as another device. A common problem Windows users run into when using a User-Agent Switcher Extension in Chrome for example, is that they choose a mobile device to hide their usage. While this may work for most cases, if you wanted to watch Netflix or not be bothered by defaulting to the "Mobile friendly" versions of webpages, you can instead add a generic user-agent for Safari on OS X. I've done it in the past and its worked incredibly well.
Anyway, enough blah blah blah, here is how I set up my Tethering Bypass on NF6. I am not the original creator of these bypass concepts, just someone who put them together in the proper way so that its worked for me on NF6.
Also feel free to discuss a better/easier way of a Tether Bypass!
The Guide:
Tethering Bypass for the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5 NF6 software version in 10-ish steps.
This guide contains references to Paid apps from Google Play that are highly recommended and you should not report issues with this if you are using "pirated" versions of them. Support these hard-working developers!
1. Root your device with whichever method works for you if you are not already rooted. I used CF-Auto Root by Chainfire (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696537), but note that this does trip the Knox counter and the counter cannot currently be reset as of 7/14/2014
2. Download Root Explorer and SQLite Editor from Speed Software on Google Play.
3. Using Root Explorer, go to /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db and open it (clicking on it) with SQLite Editor.
4. Choose 'system' and then hit the + sign in the top right corner to make a new value. This entry is called "tether_dun_required" (without ""), and the value will be 0.
5. Download APN Backup and Restore app from Google Play. Using Root Explorer, move this app from /data/app/com.riteshsahu.APNBackupRestore-1.apk to /system/priv-app/. Reboot the device now.
6. Open APN Backup and Restore, ignore the ICS warning. Hit the menu button in the top right and Disable ICS Check.
7. Download the GalaxyS5NF6APN.xml attached (unzip it first...), and move it to /sdcard/ApnBackupRestore. All I did was change 'pcweb.t-mobile.com' to 'fast.t-mobile.com' so you can do this on your own if you prefer.
8. Choose "Delete APNs" on APN Backup & Restore. Then choose "Restore APNs" and select the GalaxyS5NF6APN.xml or the one you created with the change.
9. Make a new APN under Settings > More networks > Mobile networks > Access Point Names with the + sign. It'll look exactly like below.
Name: T-Mobile US LTE
APN: fast.t-mobile.com
Proxy: Not set
Port: Not set
Username: Not set
Password: Not set
Server: Not set
MMSC: Not set
Multimedia message proxy: Not set
Multimedia message port: Not set
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
Authentication type: Not set
APN type: default,supl
APN protocol: IPv4
APN roaming protocol: IPv4
Turn APN on/off: APN turned on
Bearer: Unspecified
Mobile virtual network operator..: None
Mobile virtual network operator..: None
Make sure the green bubble is selected next to the one you just created.
10. Download WiFi Tether Router from Google Play. You can find setup instructions for the Samsung Galaxy S 5 on the developer's web page here: https://sites.google.com/site/wifitetherrouter/
Also, feel free to discuss/create a better/easier method. This is just what I worked up and it works for me.

It's impossible to say without looking at the /system/ of the Note 3 on the software version you're asking about. If its the same as the S5 on its VoLTE update where its not done through /system/csc/ then it should work as well I can imagine.
Ok thank you, I'll check and let you know.

I took a system pull after Odin flashing NF6 that I got from SamMobile. I'd imagine the phone wouldn't work so well without those. I certainly didn't remove it, anyway.

The phone works without them. Just some things are changed because it can't find the setting/value so it uses a default. Either way the method you provided is great. You can find a lot of stuff inside database files

Just to clarify, this is the exact contents of the NF6's system.img.ext4. There is no /csc/ inside it. It would be very strange if we had different firmware files!

The weird thing is, its not present inside the tar. I think the files reside in another image on the tar file (like kernel, misc or one of the others) and are then copied into the system directory. But i guarantee you they are in the /system directory after a 100 percent fresh Odin flash
so if I use a VPN I don't have to do any of this stuff and i cant just Tether as much as I want?
This whole time I had forgotten about safari?! I could have been watching netflix on my laptop instead of having to get chromecast or a roku stick?! Thanks for the info and my kids are enjoying cartoon network online games again!

They can track data usage through pcweb even if you use a VPN.
There has to be a simpler way to accomplish this, also one that doesn't require 2 paid apps? tried using free alternatives and they just crash like everything does for the s5 :/

You have to use a modded framework-res.apk in order to use stock tethering app. It checks to see if you have tethering on your plan and if not it doesn't even turn on tethering. Unless you have some other hack/mod allowing it then you can use it they won't/can't track it that way. Also, under your apns, press menu button and click "reset to defaults" to re-load the changes you made.
do you have any suggestions on an app that I could use
