KitKat Root

[quizzard]

Ugh, I wish I could go back to 4.4.2. Lost my root, tether..

Yep. Never take ota without reading up on it. 4.4 root may never happen.

 

[quizzard]

Oh lawd, don't say that. That would be hell for me.

Have you tried Hotspot Toggle widget?

 

[quizzard]

My toggle works just fine. Lost my SQL files and the Entitlement check is turned on. Need to regain Root. I should have done more research before hitting "Update". Now I need to find where the bounty is listed. I'll give $20 to the dev that can get my Maxx rooted.

You didn't understand me. Try this, see if it'll bypass the check.

I did understand you. You're thinking a widget will bypass the check, it does not.

I already have a widget shortcut. For posterity, I downloaded the widget you suggested. It does the exact same thing(one touch tethering shortcut) as the tethering widget I had. Unfortunately, it also fails the bypass the entitlement check. After all, it's just a widget.

I need either root or a FoxFi update.

Or, heaven forbid, pony up $30 a month to pay Verizon for Hotspotting.

XDA forums have a bounty thread for the Droid Ultra/MAXX, it should be advertised in other websites so other devs can know about it.

Not good as some people have used it with apparent good results. Good to know.

" and yes, Kingo is safe. Issue before was that kingo was using vroot method, which contrained sniffers for imei and serials. Once kingo caught wind of it, they released a new version excluding said code, which is why they have complied with XDA requirements and all threads re-opened."

So I take it that Foxfi does not currently work with KitKat on the Droid Maxx??

Correct. It doesn't work. This will be my last non Dev phone I buy.

Are you saying that if I purchase the "developers edition" of the Maxx from Motorola itself that foxfi would work?
