How to change/modify Tethering DoCoMo preset APN[/size]​
This work has been edited collecting many info taken from many guides on-line… and tested by me.
A well known issue after SIM-Unlocking the SC-03E, is that you can’t change the APN on your own provider’s APN when you want use the Tethering.
Even if you set your provider’s APN in the APNs settings, when you switch on the Wi-Fi Tethering the APN automatically sets itself on a specified DoCoMo APN (dcmtrg.ne.jp) to check your data traffic by your PC.
So, if you decide to use a no-DoCoMo SIM Card, you can’t use your smartphone as modem for your PC.
There are 3 ways to get over this problem, but in all of them you need a rooted ROM (so, be careful at what you are doing).
If you need to keep a DoCoMo ROM, at present the only Rooted “DoCoMo” ROMs working for this job are the ROMs from aki0306.
You can find them here.
If you don’t need a DoCoMo, you can choose a Custom ROM as the CyanogenMod10.1 JP Remix for SC-03E.
Thaks to kizuki.buy and theDroidfanatic for some tips.
[size=+2]Read below for the 3 methods[/size]​

Method n. 1
[size=+1]Method n. 1 : Editing the "framework-res.apk" from DoCoMo SC-03E ROM.[/size]​
1. Flashing
Flash the aki0306 Rooted Stock ROM on your phone by the ODIN tool (there are thousands of guides about how to use it).
[N. B. after flashing this ROM, the “Download Mode” will display: that your phone has a “CUSTOM” ROM on board
Custom binary Download: No
Current binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
(look here)]
2. On your Phone.
Go in Settings-Developers Options... Enable.
Enable USB debugging.
Then on Settings-Security, enable “Unknown sources” to let unsigned apps.
At this point, from Google Play, install on your phone the free apps:
SuperSU,
Root Browser Lite
ServiceMode Shortcut.
Install SuperSU, Open, Continue, Normal (to and let it install the SU binary).
Install Root Browser Lite.
By "Root Browser Lite" navigate to “\system\framework” and copy the system file “framework-res.apk” from there to your SD Card.
When the pop-up comes, grant to Root Browser Lite the permissions by SuperSU.
Then Cut and Paste “framework-res.apk” from the SD Card to your PC.
3. On your PC, download and install.
Download and install with default settings Java Development Kit (JDK).
Then, set the Environment Variables Paths [Go to Start, search for “Environment”, choose “Edit Environment Variables for your Account”.
Edit 'PATH,' and 'CLASSPATH.' (If you don't have them, just add them, and name them PATH and CLASSPATH)
For PATH, give as the Variable Value: C:\Program Files\Java\jdkXXX\bin; where XXX is the JDK version.
For CLASSPATH, give as the Variable Value: "C:\Program Files\Java\jdkXXX\jre\lib; where XXX is the JDK version)].
Download and install Notepad++.
Download and unzip somewhere APK Manager / APK Multi-Tool.
4. Edit “framework-res.apk” with APK Manager.
Go where you unzipped APK Manager and set the folders for working (\APK-Multi-Tool\Setup.bat, 3, Enter).
Then copy “framework-res.apk” from the place you saved it to the place-here-for-modding folder.
Then...
Script.bat, Enter, 24 (set current project), Enter, 1 (framework-res.apk), Enter, 9 (Decompile apk), Enter.
Wait for it complete.
Then go to
\APK-Multi-Toolv1.0.11\APK-Multi-Tool\projects\framework-res.apk\res\values
searching for the file strings.xml.
Open “strings.xml” with Notepad++ and edit the line number 57.
Changing the a part of the code from
docomo_hotspot,dcmtrg.ne.jp,,,,,,,,,440,10,,default,supl
to
docomo_hotspot,YOUR_APN,,,,,,,,,YOUR_MCC,YOUR_MNC,,YOUR_APN_TYPE
following the rule
NAME,APN,PROXY,PORT,USER_NAME,PASSWORD,SERVER,MMSC ,MMSPROXY,MMS_PORT,MCC,MNC,AUTHENTICATION_TYPE,APN _Type
Using the APN settings from your provider, but KEEPING docomo_hotspot at the first place (!).
Then, save.
Then, go back to Script.bat.
Select 11 (Compile System APK Files).
Enter.
Select “y”.
Then wait and DON’T PRESS Enter.
Then go in \APK-Multi-Tool\keep
There delete the file “resources.arsc”.
Then, go back to Script.bat window and I press “Enter”.
At the end of the process, go to
\APK-Multi-Toolv1.0.11\APK-Multi-Tool\place-apk-here-for-modding
You will find the file “unsignedframework-res.apk”.
Move the file “unsignedframework-res.apk” somewhere and rename it in “framework-res.apk”, then copy it into the Phone’s SD Card.
5. Overwrite the original “framework-res.apk”.
On the phone, using Root Browser Lite Copy and Paste that modified “framework-res.apk” from the SD Card to “\system\framework” folder and overwrite the original one.
It will need some time, in the meanwhile you will see some error messages.
Don’t worry and wait for the message about the complete overwriting.
Then restart the Phone.
If everything is gone in the right way, the Phone will reboot normally.
(In any case, if the phone goes in boot-loop, start the phone in “recovery mode” and perform a factory reset).
6. Checking the APN on Tethering.
Switch on the Wi-Fi Tethering then launch “ServiceMode Shortcut”.
Select ServiceMode->Docomo Debug Screen->PND information.
You should see the APN you did set in the XML file before.

Method n. 2
[size=+1]Method n. 2 : Xposed Installer ROM modding + “matsumod.apk” Module.[/size]​
1. Flash the aki0306 Rooted Stock ROM on your phone by the ODIN tool (there are thousands of guides about how to use it).
N. B. after flashing this ROM, the “Download Mode” will display: that your phone has a “CUSTOM” ROM on board
Custom binary Download: No
Current binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
(look here)]
2. On your Phone
Go in Settings->Developers Options... Enable.
Enable USB debugging.
Then on Settings->Security, enable “Unknown sources” to let unsigned apps.
Download and install ServiceMode Shortcut.
Download and install SuperSU.
Install SuperSU, Open, Continue, Normal (to and let it install the SU binary).
Download XposedInstaller_X.X.X.apk and install it on your phone.
Open, then press Install/Update.
When the pop-up comes, grant to Root Browser Lite the permissions by SuperSU.
Wait, then press Reboot.
Download the Xposed Module “matsumod.apk" and install it on your phone.
Open then check “enable Tethering when use MVNO sim”.
3. Open again Xposed Installer and select the Modules tab and check (enable) Matsumod.
4. Set/edit the APN from your provider into
Settings->More Settings->Mobile networks->Access Point Names
and select it.
5. RESTART the Phone.
6. Switch on the Wi-Fi Tethering, then launch “ServiceMode Shortcut”.
Select, ServiceMode->Docomo Debug Screen->PND information.
You should see the APN you did set in APN settings before.
Note:
If you are using a DoCoMo SIM Card and you don’t wish DoCoMo to know if you are using the phone as modem for PC or just as smartphone for browsing, select SP Mode APN and enable Matsumod.
The Tethering will keep on SP Mode APN.

Method n. 3
[SIZE=+1]Method n. 3 : Custom recovery “CWM ClockworkMod” + Custom ROM “CyanogenMod10.1 JP Remix for SC-03E” [/SIZE]​
If you don’t need the DoCoMo ROM, you can use a custom ROM to have full control on your APNs even for Tethering.
[N. B. after flashing CWM and CyanogenMod10.1, the “Download Mode” will display: that your phone has “Custom” Binary and a “CUSTOM” ROM on board, so the counter will increase.
Custom binary Download: YES (1 counts)
Current binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
(check here to reset)]
1. Download CyanogenMod10.1 JP Remix for SC-03E (cm-10.1-20130513-KBC-sc03e-signed.zip pw: 1234) and copy the ZIP file on your SD Card.
2. Download CWM ClockworkMod and flash it on your phone by the ODIN tool (there are thousands of guides about how to use it).
3. Restart your phone in Recovery Mode (Power+VolumeUP+Home).
Wipe cache partition, data/factory reset,
then "mounts and storage", "Mount /external_sd", "Go Back",
"install zip from sd card", "choose zip from external sdcard", select CyanogenMod10.1 JP Remix for SC-03E zip file, then install.
4. Enjoy your new ROM.

[Guide] G955USQU1AQGL OTA for Rooted S8+

Under construction for further testing
Mod edit:
Thread closed by OP request.

CHANGE LOG
3 September 2017
Added CP from AQG1 & CSC from AQG1 to "Apply AQG1 firmware" section
7 September 2017
Baseband fix: Made OTA system update only & created AQGL CP
8 September 2017
Fixed CP & CSC file rename md5 errors
FAQ
If I'm on G955U1UEU1AQG2, can I go straight to OTA for G955USQU1AQGL?
Yes, but everything won't update correctly. Like the modem patch won't apply, unless you're already running the AQG1 modem for instance.
Try flashing CP from AQG1 & CSC from AQG1 in the "Apply AQG1 firmware" section with Odin, before applying the OTA.

I just need to do one version of your two step before applying the AQGL OTA , right ?.
---------- Post added at 11:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:22 PM ----------
If i do this :-
Version 2: Current SamPWND Part 2 summary:
1 - Download AQG1 system.img.ext4. extract it and copy it to your phone.
2 - The CSC SYSTEMROOT process is the same as SamPWND part 2 instructions, except you're using the system.img.ext4 from step 1 above.
I would then do this right ? :-
3) Place the entire Add CSC Systemroot zip onto Internal or Externdal SD Card (THIS FILE DOES NOT NEED TO BE UNZIPPED, THROW THE WHOLE ZIP FILE ONTO SD CARD OR INTERNAL)
4) Open Flashfire and grant it root when it prompts you.
5) Press the + sign and select "Flash Firmware Package" & navigate to where you placed the system.img.ext4 and select it
6) Press the + sign and select "Flash ZIP or OTA" & navigate to where you placed the Add CSC Systemroot zip and select it, select Mount System as r/w
7) Press the + sign and select "Wipe" and select System data, 3rd party apps, Dalvik cache, Cache partiton, Cache Partiton format
8) Now, long press on "Wipe" and make sure it is on the top by dragging it. The order should be Wipe, Flash Firmware Package & finally Flash ZIP or OTA
9) Make sure the "Everoot" is disabled!
10) Flash away!

If i do version one which includes using Odin then i don't need to do :-

Worked like a Charm, thanks.

Just to be clear..if I'm already rooted (not on QG1 Firmware), 1st, in flashfire, flash qg1 system.img, then pre packed cscroot zip from sampwnd pt2, then the qgl zip ota? (I'll add wipe also). Do I do this in 1 Flashfire session or boot up after cscroot zip then flash the OTA zip?

I wont be able to attempt this until the weekend but, to my knowledge there isnt an AQG2 (there is lol). I can still run the process the same? If i have to start from scratch, that wont be bad either

Right, you need to go to AQG1, before you can OTA to AQGL.
If you're doing the current part 2 process, it's the same steps & same files as SamPWND part 2, except you're using the AQG1 system.img.ext4 (linked in my thread)
Code:
1) Download the PART 2 FILES listed below (this includes the system.img.ext4 and the add CSC Systemroot zip both provided courtesy of @[url=https://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=1949695]jrkruse[/url]*, view post #195 for specifics on what these are but essentially they are stock QD2 system.img and the zip has multi CSC, root, and a bunch of other goodies!)
2) Extract the System.img.ext4 zip and place that actual "system.img.ext4" onto the Internal SD Card (might work from external but some users have reported issues with chainfires root.zip and FF with external sd cards, this is not a fault of the SamPWND files/process.)
3) Place the entire Add CSC Systemroot zip onto Internal or Externdal SD Card (THIS FILE DOES NOT NEED TO BE UNZIPPED, THROW THE WHOLE ZIP FILE ONTO SD CARD OR INTERNAL)
4) Open Flashfire and grant it root when it prompts you.
5) Press the + sign and select "Flash Firmware Package" & navigate to where you placed the system.img.ext4 and select it
6) Press the + sign and select "Flash ZIP or OTA" & navigate to where you placed the Add CSC Systemroot zip and select it, select Mount System as r/w
7) Press the + sign and select "Wipe" and select System data, 3rd party apps, Dalvik cache, Cache partiton, Cache Partiton format
8) Now, long press on "Wipe" and make sure it is on the top by dragging it. The order should be Wipe, Flash Firmware Package & finally Flash ZIP or OTA
9) Make sure the "Everoot" is disabled!
10) Flash away!

nm, it's on July.
G955U1UEU1AQG2 is for The SM-G955U1 (network unlocked version). So applying the OTA directly should work, but I can't make any guarantees that your system will come out the same as going from G955USQS1AQG1 to G955USQU1AQGL.

Has the battery issue been resolved? Doea it go all the way to 100% or does it stay at 80%

Did some more research. looks like it's the icon for the enhanced lte service. There's a setting for enhanced lte service that you can turn off.
if you search lte in settings, you'll find it.

SM-G955U S8+ Kali NetHunter Install

DISCLAIMER:
I am not a developer – but an enthusiast. I do a bunch of random things (personally and professionally) and decided to take a shot at this because I really wanted to have Kali.
I am not suggesting anyone attempt to try this, but am merely providing the process I used to install Kali Nethunter on my Sprint G955U Samsung S8+. I am not responsible for any damages done to your device. Period. If you decide to try and attempt this, do so at your own risk (not going to lie, if I were you I’d wait till one of the developers on XDA posted their way… ha!).
NOTE: This process installs a working copy of Kali NetHunter on the stock data partition.
VIDEO: Posted a quick video on youtube (no sound or anything), but shows functionality. Will add link when it’s finished uploading.
Here we go:
Step 1: Rooted the S8+
*I used the newest instructions (as of 9/30/2017) Root
Step 2: Download nethunter-flo-marshmallow-3.0.zip
*The copy I used was found at nethunter-flo-marshmallow-3.0 (by jcadduono)
Step 3: Moved the .zip file (unzipped) from my computer to the Internal SD Card.
Step 5: Downloaded BusyBox, granted root, then installed Busybox 1.27.2 to /system/xbin and rebooted phone. ***MAKE SURE SCREEN BRIGHTNESS TURNED ALL THE WAY UP***
Step 4: Opened FlashFire, granted root, pressed the + sign and selected “Flash ZIP or OTA” (then navigated to the file location, selected the .zip file, and lastly selected “Mount /system read/write” option).
Step 5: Verified the order was “Flash ZIP or OTA,” then “EverRoot” (disabled) and lastly “Reboot” (normal). Started flash.
***Just like when flashing to achieve root the phone screen was very dark, HOWEVER you could faintly see processes running***
***UNLIKE when flashing to achieve root, this process pauses and requests user action (i.e. watch the phone, otherwise it might seem like a never ending flash)***
***When pressing selections during this stage, the display did not match where I touched the screen. I had to play around a bit to find out where I needed to press in order for each option to be selected.***
Step 6: ***DURING FLASH*** Will ask to confirm you are wishing to flash this file. Pressed acknowledged and pressed “next”
Step 7: ***DURING FLASH*** Will ask if you want to install any additional files (i.e. apps) that are included in the .zip file. I selected all of them (e.g. NetHunter, NetHunter Termial, NetHunter VNC, BlueNMEA, cSploit, DriveDroid, RF Analyzer, and Router Keygen, Shodan) and pressed “next”
Step 8: ***DURING FLASH*** Will state flash is completed and ask to reboot phone, pressed “next”
Step 9: Opened NetHunter, NetHunter Terminal, and NetHunter VNC and granted root to each.
Step 10: Switched to NetHunter, waited for install to complete, then selected “Kali Chroot Manager,” selected “Add Metapackags” and clicked “Install & Update.” When complete I rebooted phone.
Step 11: Opened NetHunter and selected “Check App Update” (an update was available), downloaded newest version.
Step 12: Verified “Unknown sources” was selected to allow install of apps from sources other than Play Store or Galaxy Apps (go to settings > lock screen and security > unknown sources)
Step 13: Uninstalled current NetHunter apk and then located the newly downloaded NetHunter distro. (named latest.apk), selected and installed it.
Step 14: Opened latest NetHunter apk distro, granted root, waited for install, then verified “Kali Chroot Manager.” Rebooted phone. Done.
***Sorry I know it sucks it's not on a modified boot.img BUT it works.

Step 4: Opened FlashFire, granted root, pressed the + sign and selected “Flash ZIP or OTA” (then navigated to the file location, selected the .zip file, and lastly selected “Mount /system read/write” option).
Step 5: Verified the order was “Flash ZIP or OTA,” then “EverRoot” (disabled) and lastly “Reboot” (normal). Started flash.
***Just like when flashing to achieve root the phone screen was very dark, HOWEVER you could faintly see processes running***
***UNLIKE when flashing to achieve root, this process pauses and requests user action (i.e. watch the phone, otherwise it might seem like a never ending flash)***
***When pressing selections during this stage, the display did not match where I touched the screen. I had to play around a bit to find out where I needed to press in order for each option to be selected.***
Step 6: ***DURING FLASH*** Will ask to confirm you are wishing to flash this file. Pressed acknowledged and pressed “next”
Step 7: ***DURING FLASH*** Will ask if you want to install any additional files (i.e. apps) that are included in the .zip file. I selected all of them (e.g. NetHunter, NetHunter Termial, NetHunter VNC, BlueNMEA, cSploit, DriveDroid, RF Analyzer, and Router Keygen, Shodan) and pressed “next”
Step 8: ***DURING FLASH*** Will state flash is completed and ask to reboot phone, pressed “next”
Step 9: Opened NetHunter, NetHunter Terminal, and NetHunter VNC and granted root to each.
Step 10: Switched to NetHunter, waited for install to complete, then selected “Kali Chroot Manager,” selected “Add Metapackags” and clicked “Install & Update.” When complete I rebooted phone.
Step 11: Opened NetHunter and selected “Check App Update” (an update was available), downloaded newest version.
Step 12: Verified “Unknown sources” was selected to allow install of apps from sources other than Play Store or Galaxy Apps (go to settings > lock screen and security > unknown sources)
Step 13: Uninstalled current NetHunter apk and then located the newly downloaded NetHunter distro. (named latest.apk), selected and installed it.
Step 14: Opened latest NetHunter apk distro, granted root, waited for install, then verified “Kali Chroot Manager.” Rebooted phone. Done.
***Sorry I know it sucks it's not on a modified boot.img BUT it works.

FYI if you update your fiemare and bootloader to the latest combination rom (aqi1) and update flashfire it is no longer super dark when flashing stuff.
Not sure if updating FF helps or not but it doesn't hurt

Appreciate the tip, wish I had known before trying this!!

Is anyone else having a problem w/ Flashfire not seeing the Kali.zip file? I've added it to the internal SD card and the external SD card and Flashfire still cannot see it. The file exists as I've verified via Windows and also via a file explorer app on the phone. I even renamed the file, thinking that may be the issue, but still no dice.
**EDIT** Looks as if I was downloading the wrong zip file. I navigated myself to their download page and downloaded the Nexus 9 Marshmallow zip file. When flashing, I was NOT given the aroma environment that you described, probably because I used a different zip file, but everything installed PERFECTLY. Your instructions were spot on OP, and for that, I thank you!!

Well, there's a lot of benefits of having Kali. But there is no difference in having Kali on mobile vs pc

I believe he was inferring he didn't plan on being an active developer for this, just being kind enough to share how he accomplished the task. But now that it's been done, it likely won't be too long before a project comes along.
Hell, I might even take this one on myself. ?

Cool i mean id love to get a nose in and have a go too if equally you want to communicate about the dev

Implementing HOSTS file on S7?

Is changing the HOSTS file still an absolute no-no on the 935T? (running, as most are, 8.0)
I am having some curious experiences trying to do this: I am used to things failing, not implementing, or sometimes even bricking my phone. This is different!
I opened (the recommended) Odin 3.10 and executed (in ap) the CF-Auto-Root-smg935t(7.0) S7 edge (T-Mobile) by Multi Firmware file and was amazed when it ran successfully! All threads completed successfully! Now I can't figure out what to do next, because I dont believe that it actually changed anything on the phone??
What should I try next? Or should I now simply be able to open /etc/hosts in ES file explorer and cut-and-paste the proper HOSTS file into the one which is there in order to point all ad sources to 127.0.0.1? 'cos I CAN do this but PASTE doesnt work. Then should I just hope that SAVE works?
I can't help but feel I am kidding myself, - is it still impossible to edit the HOSTS file?

I should add for the sake of completeness that this failed:
