All you have to do is add net.tethering.noprovisioning=true to your build.prop file and then you can remove or freeze the entitlement check app if you want to. Sprint model requires ro.mot.tether_dun_required to change from 1 to 0.
For people who don't want to mess with modifying their build.prop file or use xposed. I made an app which requires Root, that will run a setprop command to bypass the check until you reboot. If you want it to last after a reboot you can select apply of boot to run the command after every reboot. This was tested and confirmed by cvhovey thanks to him for testing it for me, since I have free tethering. This is my first app so I hope you Enjoy it! I want to say thanks to jcase's slapmymoto and the developer of adaway, I used their github sources as references when I couldn't get something working. Also androidicons for the icon template, and Poliva for setpropex, and jduck for getting setpropex working on KitKat.

Hey guys, I just wanted to update and say it won't boot on the Verizon dev edition like the T-mobile rom will. It freezes for me on the Moto Earth boot animation. Noo! Well darn, I was wanting to try the sprint rom to see if I could get google wallet tap to pay working on my vzw dev phone since no one has figured out how to make tap to pay work on the non-sprint variants.
I booted the deodex version just fine on my vzw Dev edition. I wiped my data and wiped cached before flashing. I didn't try g wallet

YES!!!! It worked!!! LOL. Anyway, have you/anyone noticed anything when trying to alter the stock boot.img? Seems like anything I tried (not a whole bunch really) with the kernel/boot.img made it non-bootable? Pretty much if it hits the bootloader unlocked screen and doesn't vibrate.....its a no go? Wondering if theres some type of checksum for the boot.img? Not too sure about wallet ATM. Don't really use it, and this is based off the OTA so....I'd assume it should be fine? I remember some stuff way back on this, may have to step back and see if there's something to utilize. This isn't my first rodeo.....but it's the first one I've entered.:laugh:

Yeah I wipe three times before flashing and I wiped cache and dalvik again before booting. I wonder what the issue is. I downloaded the odex and not deodex but I don't see it being the difference between booting and freezing. Hmm. I'm back on the T-Mobile rom now. I'll have to try again with the deodex tomorrow

Was just using the kitchen tool. Anytime I touched the boot.img it wouldn't boot up..... Or it would not vibrate at the splash screen, boot up, but not "see" user touches on the screen. Acted like the digitizer was totally off. Something I noticed is if it vibrates at the splash, it was good. No vibrate, definitely something would be wrong. Going to take my time with it next week.

I recommend wiping system and data too and trying. Just make a backup first. And/or try using your normal boot.img instead of the one in the zip.

i take it then you arent packing the Device tree file to the boot.img.
http://pastebin.com/tSGxTmYq save this script, run it against stock boot.img. youll get a DTB.img, extract your boot.img, edit what you want in ramdisk or swap zimages. then use a modified mkbootimg to include the dtb file as part of it all

I got the sprint deodex rom booting on my vzw dev edition doing like you said. But sadly I found google wallet would not work. It just sat saying "finishing up a few things." So I guess unfortunately there is a hardware issue preventing wallet from working on the non-sprint variants. That sucks!!!
I don't understand why but I noticed between the t-mobile, verizon, and sprint roms that the signal bars are slightly different on every one. Sprint's seems to be stretched out a little more and have an extra bar or two. I hate all of them though because the grey has some funky white lines through it where the separations are instead of being solid grey. I don't know what was wrong with the stock android signal bars that none of the carriers wanted them

Honestly have no clue about SS. I would have to say no. No sure what needs to be done for it to be SS flashable.
Added 4.4 links. Thank abiezer for letting me link to his deodex 4.4 build HERE!
I plan on adding the SPRINT specific firmwares, and more in due time.
Hi,
I'm using only stock rom, rooted and with xposed mods on my Nexus devices. Because of trying some things out, I want to have a stock rom update.zip from the latest Factory Image on my device to have the security to flash it back to stock without a computer.
So, I've managed with some help this update.zip. It's absolutely pure stock. Not rooted, not deodexed or anything else (to root, there is a link below)
I think, some of you are thinking the same and so I want to share this update zip. I hope you have fun with it.
It works with CWM and TWRP Recovery!

- You want root, you only have to flash, this file here, too: SuperSU Download
- the install process is slow. Please wait, it really installs. It takes about 5 Minutes. If someone has the ability to show me how to make it faster: Please, please!!!
Have Fun!
So, do you recommend a full wipe and cache clear when installing this?
Let's say I want to go stock in anticipation of a new update to android. I would go to Recovery (I use twrp), wipe data/erase everything from my previous rom, and then flash update.zip (and supersu at the same time), and I'll be set with stock everything including kernel, etc?
You won't be able to get an update with a rooted rom. Google checks before sending the files that your rom matches the md5

Well, question still stands. I still want to ensure this thing catches kernels and everything else provided I do a full wipe, and I assumed a full wipe is recommended (as with most things on this site). I wanted to get clarification before hand.

Yes if you want to flash the ROM you should do a full wipe just in case there are any mods left over from the previous ROM/kernel.
What the previous poster was informing you of is that flashing this ROM won't give you the update directly from Google itself. You will need to flash the new update manually as the md5 sum gets checked when they send out updates.
It's nothing to worry about just flash the new update when it comes. Most of the time you can flash the new update before Google would send it out to your phone anyways.

Gotcha, thanks for the help/clarification.
As far as I know, google send updates to rooted devices, too.
But I don't want to swear
A full wipe is indeed better if you come from another rom.
But with a nandroid backup, you can try.

Hello,
All is here about OTA and root: [INFO] Nexus 5 OTA Help-Desk...
Thanks!
So it's right.
Flash this rom, don't delete or change a file. No new Kernel and you can receive the update.

very wrong. first off, Google does not check. secondly, you can get an update while having root, as long as you do not change system files. why do you think we get so many "i updated ota and lost root" threads?
I'm just curious, I thought that the recovery was supposed to be stock to receive ota updates? Tia

Hey,
this thread here shows the most:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2285831
You have to know, that you need the extracted system.img as the system folder in your update.zip.
Then you need the boot.img unextracted.
This is a all easy. A bit complicated is the meta-inf folder.
I've used this folder from other aosp roms.
I have to learn that now, too.

Hi Internet,
I was trying to flash Android M on my Nexus 9 (Wi-Fi only) today and ended up with errors such as: "system.ui has stopped working" or "android.process has stopped" because I wanted to see if I actually needed to do a factory reset for it to work properly (turns out I do). After that I've tried again and have run into some issues.
Firstly, after that Android M wasn't flashing at all and I have decided to abandon the idea of M and just go back to Lollipop. Now, I am trying to flash 5.1.1 and I keep on getting FAILED (remote: data length is too large) error when flashing my system partition. I'm flashing everything separately because if I try to do it as one image because I keep getting error: update package missing system.img errors. I have no trouble with flashing my bootloader and other partitions(boot, cache, recovery, etc), but that system partition just won't flash! I've tried 5.0, 5.1, 5.1.1 and I keep on getting these errors.
I have no idea what to do. Please help. I've spent the last 5 hours trying to figure it out and nothing has yet came up. I'm using a Mac, but I don't see how this might be causing an issue.
If you have any valuable information - please help!
I'm very comfortable with flashing and ROMs, in fact I've updated my N5 to M in 5 min, but I've never seen this error before and have no idea how to fix. All I found out is that, I think, it only happens on HTCs...
Solved: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61354553&postcount=14
I can't help you but I can tell you I had the same problem. After much frustration and many attempts to flash 5.1.1 it finally worked. I was ready to rma the device as I was sure something was wrong with it. Sorry I can't be more help as getting it to work was so random.

No,I used the factory image from Google. There were a number of times I got the image to flash, I flashed images separately, but got boot loops even after factory resets. Even got it to boot a couple of times but couldn't sign into Google. Wi-Fi would keep resetting and bring me back to the Google sign in. I'm still not convinced that there isn't something wrong with the device, bad nand? But it's working now. I haven't tried to flash anything since.

I'm pretty sure that the device is fine. I flashed images before and had no problems at all.
If you haven't already, make sure nothing is running in the back ground on your pc that might be using ram. The complete system image has to load into ram and it's a pretty big file.

Your Android SDK (fastboot) probably needs to be updated. Depending on how old it is, Google updated the SDK and fastboot to allow flashing these very large system.img files in early November, 2014.

Yes! It worked! Turns out I was using this outdated fastboot file which wasn't allowing flashing newer system partitions. Fun fact: outdated fastboot file worked with N5, but didn't work with N9. Anyway, I updated my SDK though Android Studio and everything flashed perfectly. Many thanks to cam30era and jd1639.

I'm glad this worked out for you.
after a long wait for the firmware to be released of the S4 running OH7 , it still has not been released. However i decided to make it myself and now we finally have it. I have tested it on my S4 that came with OH7 build originally. So here you go guys, Firmware containing OH7 running lollipop 5.0.1 with stock kernel 3.4 of mon Sep. 7 2015.
little guide to help you install the firmware if you need it.
you will find the firmware link below that i have uploaded and as for odin you can just google it. now im sure you can use other versions of odin but always safest to be up-to-date.
you will need: OH7 firmware file (Download link at the bottom), odin 3.10.7, WinRar and USB data cable
steps:
1. put phone into download mode by holding the home+vol up+power keys at the same time.
2. plug your phone into your PC (be sure drivers for the phone are installed correctly)
3. open up your handy tool of Odin
4. open up the firmware file you have downloaded in Winrar and extract it, you will then be given an MD5 File containing the firmware
5. click on "AP" in odin and browse for the file (odin might not respond after that but be patient, it will)
6. after the program responds, double check that F. Reset time and Auto Reboot are the ONLY ones ticked/checked
7.Go ahead and hit start and sit back for a few minutes and let odin do its thing
8. after all goes well and in the top box says "PASS!" then your phone will reboot and be good as new.
Just a heads up that this firmware is meant and made for the prepaid variant of the Verizon S4. I wouldnt recommend trying it on the postpaid S4 for the postpaid firmware has negative effects on the prepaid variant so id assume it have the same outcome on postpaid variant. Also im not responsible like anyone else out there if you brick your phone by not following the steps correctly or flashing it incorrectly in some way. Just a disclaimer that everyone puts out on here. hope this helps everyone. enjoy!
If the link becomes a broken link, let me know and i will update. i just need to move the file from time to time due to high data traffic

Well if you could do both, I'd really appreciate it. I can't even begin to understand how to extract an md5. So confusing. Plus gotta get it to work with flash fire. I tried other roms with flashfire and kept getting system not responding. So I always had to Odin back to stock and on the custom rom I never get even a boot animation. So I'm not sure what's up with it

Flash fire is horrible. Use v24 seems to be the best atm. I can do both. In the middle of mod'ing the s5 rom I made. But after I build it I would have you test it 1st before deodexing as you want to make sure it boots 1st before moving on.

I think I tried your rom before. Your username was on a rom that I tried. It was non mdk which was said to use. I used flashfire beings I can't have safestrap on lollipop. It's all I could use to flash things thanks to a locked bootloader. But I'll try your suggestion and I can surely test what you put out for the s4. Just need an idea of what to use to flash things. And you talking version 24 of flashfire? Cause I already use that an got those outcomes. Also if it makes it any easier on you, could you just rebuild your ultranote5 rom for the prepaid variant? Whichever is easier for you. I loved the feature list that you had for it though I couldn't get it to get past the boot screen cause it would like freeze at the animation but at the same time there wasn't even an animation. Just a quick Samsung sound that doesn't even finish. Wish I knew more about rom development but it can get get complex I think.

now that i have released the stock firmware of OH7, i am trying to Deodex this also but keep getting failed start ups. i used LBD 2.5 to try an deodex and followed the guide but i hear start up sound not even a second and it stops and it dont show the verizon logo. i used flashfire to flash the deodexed files. so that being said, could some actual dev, deodex this firmware for i cannot? id really appreciate it and id share the deodexed firmware on the thread as well with of course giving proper credit to whomever can deodex it. thanks!

Not sure if it's still an issue or not, but I had similar problems before. Flashfire didn't seem to be finishing backups or flashes. I think I was using v18 or 19. Setting the screen timeout to 10 minutes fixed it, no problems after that and I just set it back when I'm done.

My screen never shut off when I used flashfire. So I'm not sure. Could be something in flashfire being it was made for the s4. Not the prepaid variant. So maybe some code in it is different in the postpaid. Who knows

Ah, not sure about that. I'm pretty sure my screen would shut off and then reboot shortly afterward as if it finished properly. I also just remembered that flashfire used to rearrange the order that the operations were added and would move the wipe toward the bottom of the list, usually after the flash. I would double check that the order is correct before starting if you haven't already. Those two were the only problems I had. Hope those tips help in some way.

Well far as I know I'm using the up to date version which is .24. I haven't had the screen off issue or the rearranging problem. Flashfire showed what it was doing and what order it did it in. Everytime I used it, if the screen went black, it would say rebooting...after all was finished. So maybe the version you had was just buggy which the dev did say its a work in progress. Stuff like that, I'd be surprised if they got it to work perfectly with no bugs

I am more then willing to test any roms out as well. My new Galaxy S4 prepaid is only for tethering on my unlimited data, so I need a rom that I can install Xposed Framework on. Any rom that comes out and needs testing for OH7 based phones, I am onboard with.

Well I am looking to install xposed as well but we gotta wait for the dev to have free time to rebuild a rom to the oh7. Well at least he has two people willing to test now for him. How did you get unlimited data with Verizon? They so stingy with data
Sorry been busy. Will build it tonight. Already deodexed. Just got to build it. If all you doing is using it for a hot spot why waste time building a rom for it. Dl a app and use your hot spot. I use foxfi on my s7 edge. Works np.
Let me know. Thought this was for people to actually use.

Black screen means the order was incorrect and wipe was moved to the end.

I'm not looking to use it for the hotspot. I already can use it without any problems. I'm just wanting a custom rom/modded stock rom, I hate full stock and I love being deodexed. I'm sure more people will use your rom once they discover it.
If you believe that flashfire moved the order around, what can I do to stop that? The log in it says what it's doing and it says it's going in correct order so im not sure. Ive been using v24 which is latest I think

Flash Fire moves it on its own right before you flash. You have to press and hold wipe and drag it to the top. It does this a lot. Pain in the arse. Ok I'll build it then just wasn't sure

I did that cause it put it at the bottom at default. I moved it to the top but still got same outcome. Maybe it's something to do with the kernel an bootloader bring different? That's my guess

Well I tried out your ultra note5 and non mdk one. I believe the ultra note wouldn't show the boot animation and cut off booting sound after a second then did nothing. The other one which was the non mdk one, didn't show boot animation but made the Samsung sound correctly but after booting into the system like ten minutes later of waiting, I get a pop up of system is not responding. If I ignore it an let it load another ten minutes or so, the setup wizard opens but if I hit wait or close on the system not responding box, it all closes and goes to black screen again and just repeats

Hello everyone. I saw that there was an update pending on my Moto E4 Plus today so I DLed it and put it into OneDrive. I don't have much time available to do much with it for now but in case anyone else can do something with it, you can DL it HERE.

I can probably make this work to flash with TWRP, but you'll need to have your system, oem and boot.img original stock before flashing. If anyone is willing to test it for me, I will modify the ota zip when I have a chance. I have the Boost XT1766 so I can't test it myself. Let me know if anyone is willing to test it because if not, I won't waste my time modifying the ota.

I'm willing to try it. I'm a little confused about the requirements you mentioned though. I'm on stock but with a few modifications I've made here and there. Would I need to uninstall Magisk?

If you look inside the ota zip, there are patches for the boot.img, system.img, oem.img, modem.img, etc. If you don't have the original stock versions of these it may fail to install properly and will likely cause problems. Hence the reason for the asserts in the OTA zip to check for the proper unmodified versions of these. If I had the XT1775 I would just flash stock firmware and update officially then pull the imgs, make an updated stock ROM with the system and boot, and make an make a twrp flashable ota zip with the other modem, fsg and oem.imgs. So, you basically have to do the same as if you were going to update officially minus reflashing stock recovery. You almost might as well just flash your latest stock firmware and take the ota update, then pull the modem, fsg and oem and make a system and boot backup with twrp which I can make an updated ROM and twrp flashable ota for others to update without that hassle. Your choice. I asked another user to provide me with a backup after they updated, but they had to go somewhere for a few days and said they would when they returned. I could give you a stock ROM flashable so you don't have to flash firmware with fastboot. I already have one made, I just haven't uploaded and posted it yet.

I'll have to modify the ota zip for you first so you can flash it after the stock ROM. As soon as I have a chance to, I'll upload that and the stock ROM zip for you. You didn't modify your oem partition at all did you? If so, I'll give you a flashable oem zip to restore that back the way it was also. Just make sure you have stock firmware ready to flash with fastboot in case something doesn't go right. Most of the ota is modem related, no bootloader patches, so it should work fine and hard bricking shouldn't be a concern.

I did not modify the oem partition. I've just made small changes like changed the boot animation, splash screen and some other things like that. Nothing major. have attempted to make a deodex version with a couple of different kitchens to make some other changes but haven't had enough time to really get into anything.

I'm uploading the ROM now. I just got done modifying the ota zip and I'll give you links as soon as they're done uploading. I made a deodexed Sprint variant version. Was planning on deodexing the retail version also. I may as well wait for the newer version though. The trick is, you need to deodexed the oem apps and framework also or it won't boot.

Finally got it
ROM: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=746010030569959248
OTA:
So, here's what I want you to do.
1. Make a backup before you do anything.
2. Flash a Magisk uninstaller.
3. Flash the ROM. (if it should fail to flash, please get a recovery log so I can see exactly what failed.)
4. Flash the OTA zip. (again, if it should fail to flash, please get a recovery log so I can see exactly what failed.)
5. If everything flashes ok, reboot recovery to make sure you don't lose twrp.
6. Make a system backup.
7. Use fastboot to pull the boot.img, modem.img, fsg.mbn, and the oem.img.
Edit: actually, if you could pull everything you see in a stock firmware package and pull them so they have the same name and file extension, that would be great.
I'll be working until about 8 tonight. (3.5.18) I'll work on it tonight and let you know what happens.
Edit: I managed to get the "Blur_Version.26.11.27.owens.retail.en.US--XT1775_TWRP_flashable" down loaded but the other was taking too long and failed a couple of times. I will try again when I can.
so glad you guys are working on this My daughter and her moms xt1775 just popped the update message and im not "allowed" to work on them too often so i cant experiment with you. So a twrp flashable update would be great if i dont have to unroot reroot stock.img etc etc it will be a painless (for me) update.
A Sort-of Related Question
I installed the update by using RSD Lite to go back to stock, taking the update as an OTA, then reflashing TWRP and Magisk. All was fine, until I tried to restore a back up. Which failed, unable to mount System. Thereafter, all reboots take me to Bootloader. I can't use RSD Lite again, as I have updated to a later version. (Believe me, I have tried multiple times!) I tried flashing the two zips, but I fail at the OTA. I was able to load Lineage, which works, but still reboots to Bootloader, then to the ROm.
I have tried fastboot oem fb_mode_clear via both ADB and TWRP Terminal but that fails as well.
Any thoughts on clearing this?
NEVER MIND - Tried a different PC and the mode clear command worked! Whew! The good news is that is something that might be worth trying if you get stuck.

Of course, sent to you via PM.
I don't think that it is a quality of your zip, I think it is related to my earlier attempt at installing the OTA itself.
