Root Prevail LTE root

[billy5150]

I have the prevail lte i rooted it with kingroot and it seems to work all permissions are there but no hotspot really need a custom recovery and rom for this phone or if anyone know a hack for the hot spot post it

 

[JohanToGood]

hey guys whats up well i tried the root methods you put down. first i tried kingroot it worked but i really dont get full root it just like a taste. then i tried the cf-auto root i got the supersu but it didnt give me root per missions at all it only gave me the app and a broken recovery.

 

[JohanToGood]

Im not new to rooting been doing since the original prevail and I've done many phones since then.

K guys i have prevail lte i rooted using king root i have super su and all pemissions so not sure whats meant by it not giving u full root access im new to rooting and the like but figuring it out still waiting on a custom rom for this phone anyway i bought sq lite editor from play store went to apps/settings storage/settingsdb/scroll down to line 59 itll say wifi_watchdog_on change value from 1 to 0 save it and free hotspot confirmed workin

I'm glad to see a few more people here. As far as the broken superuser permissions. I found that to happen when I connected to the play store it would update the SU app before I installed busybox. With busybox installed it can update the binaries and not cause me to lose SU.

@billy5150 - Can you provide a little insight into the folder structure and how you got the free hotspot working. I'm having problems finding apps/settings storage/settingsdb/. Thanks.

John - if you are having a broken app and all that it might be best to flash back to stock and just use the auto-cf method to root. I recommend installing busybox prior to allowing the playstore to update your SU app.

Ok first u have to have sqlite editor from play store $2.99 open app go to apps scroll down to settings storage app open it open settings db open global scroll down to wifi watchdog change the value from 1 to 0 thats it

@billy5150 - Thanks for the guide. Unfortunately it isn't working for me because something keeps resetting the value to 1. I also tried to tether_dun_required to 0 after having problems and subscription_mode to 0 after that all in a vain attempt to try to keep them 0. Even before attempting to run the tethering app, I'm assuming that watchdog service or something else is writing a 1 back to the file. I am excited to be getting closer.

duplicate - ignore.

 

[billy5150]

It reset mine back to 1 too but hotspot still works i think its boost doin it idk sorry didnt work for u

 

[startreker]

Well hey at least one of us got lucky. I can still USB tether for now but it is kind of annoying they are blocking the WiFi tether.

 

[billy5150]

Well rebooted my phone lost the hotspot boost must b serious bout this does anyone else have any ideas

Hey guys I have hotspot working. Guaranteed to work. Once donations reach $100 I'll release to the public

 

[startreker]

@billy5150 - That's too bad. I was lucky enough to get it to work for a few seconds before that message reappeared. @ubigred - Donations?? To this website? Seems kind of strange to tie your wifi tether help to a donation count for not very popular phone.

 

[billy5150]

With no promise it even works

 

[ubigred]

What do you need for me to verify?

 

[ubigred]

Just trying to make a few bucks

 

[startreker]

$100 is a lot for something that normal people would be happy to share for free. I'm willing to wait until someone else comes along. So far I'm zero for two on WiFi tethering. At least USB tethering seems to work just fine.

Ok. I totally understand. I'm willing to negotiate

Has anyone tried the direct download from here?

I've yet to see that fail for a 3G wifi hotspot.

@ubigred how about posting the method with a PayPal link and take donations?

"How about if I get $100 from desperate people and then give it away," sounds kinda weird.

That is the one I used on the old regular Prevail and it worked perfect all the time.

Not forcing anyone to do it. If you want LTE hotspot, feel to contact me.

 

[startreker]

@EarlyMon - I kept getting errors trying to use it but how do you force 3G on it? I'm happy to give it a shot.

Forcing 3G has to be done in the phone using your mobile settings. I'm presuming that you'll find that on yours, mine calls it network mode.

You'll have to be more specific about getting errors.

Fwiw, most phones seem to work with generic JB wlan0 and doing the router fix, it has a ton of settings -

You do as you think best.

Pretty sure that 3 posts in 3 hours about your need for money in a community where people just tend to help and take offered donations has pretty much pushed it to wall.

Anything after this pushing it will be treated as spam - please consider this fair warning.

Well, if anyone wants to provide free info on how to get WiFi tethering working feel free to message it right in the thread or PM me if you so desire. I'll just stick with USB tethering for now.
