Enable Wireless Tethering Moto X Pure - X Style (Pure) Android Development

Enable Wireless Tethering Rooted Moto X Pure
1. Modifying system files could render your device useless, so by continuing you’re assuming that risk
2. Using a root file explorer, navigate to /system/
3. (Optional) Make a copy of the build.prop
4. Open the build.prop file with a text editor
5. Add the following line to the bottom of build.prop file: net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
6. Save the file and reboot your device
This has been confirmed to work with a Sprint Sim.

It should be noted that some carriers (such as T-Mobile) use the number of hops left on packets that hit their servers to indicate that you're using tethering rather than cellphone data.
The xt_HL.ko netfilter driver included with a customer kernel should allow a user to use the IP Tables rule to change tethered traffic TTL with the default TTL of the device. This would make tethered data appear as if it's actually cellphone data.
I think this is currently contained in CM (at least it is on my OPO), but doesn't seem to be contained in the default kernel for moto phones (though I've only tested the 2013 X).
A guide about including this in a kernel can be found here, and I encourage anyone kernel devs out there to at least give this a look.
Thanks!

I have Verizon unlimited and the tethering worked for me without any type of verification or mod to the system provisions.
Usually because of unlimited this is deactivated to force the subscriber into paying the additional $30 monthly charge.
Are other carriers not allowing you guys to tether or something?

That's really strange. I can confirm it worked with my Cricket sim in a 1575 (Pure). I haven't done anything to it but rooted it so I could put Viper4Android (audio) on it.

This is what worked on MetroPCS(Tmob)
From http://pocketnow.com/2015/01/01/nexus-6-tethering:
(Optional) Using a root file explorer, navigate to /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/ and make a copy of settings.db
Install and open a SQL editor and grant it root access when prompted (such as SQLite Editor)
Tap the APPS tab and then “Settings Storage”
Tap on settings.db then global
Tap on the + symbol to add a new key/value pair
In the name field type in tether_dun_required
In the value field type in 0 (zero)
Tap Save
Open the Android system Settings
Under WIRELESS & NETWORKS tap More…
Tap Mobile networks then APNs
(If you’re using T-Mobile) Make sure your T-Mobile configuration is selected (mine is T-Mobile GPRS), then tap on it
(If you’re using T-Mobile) Make sure your APN protocol and APN roaming protocol are both set to IPv4 (it doesn’t look like tethering works with IPv6 yet)
(If you’re using T-Mobile) Make sure your APN is set to fast.t-mobile.com
Reboot

I noticed that this flag is already set in Spasticdroid's deodexed Semi-Stock ROM.

Worked like a champ on my Pure on Sprint...
Thanks sooooo.much

I'm using Cricket Wireless in Florida.
Works! Yay I have tethering again

OP, thanks for the share.
I have also found an alternate method that requires no editing of prop files.
I tried several of the apps on the store and discovered that the free app mify works on Sprint with no system edits except having a rooted phone.
been working for me for several weeks, ymmv...https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=share.hotspot.myfi&hl=en

Probably because they want you to waste through data so you can incurre data overage charges. [emoji1]

Anyone have any luck with this method on marshmallow? I'm not able to see the db's, but can on my lollipop devices
