Ive worked on the phone for while no on custom recovery nor deodexed rom but i do have wifi tethering rooted and upgraded to oh1 use kingo root not king root its different and you need your msl code for this to work or apn settings *the green one* by google play store go to your apn settings and do lte only cdma will not work scroll down in the lte apn setting to apn type and put ,Dun menu botton and save reboot phone now you have unlimited wifi tether ive unlocked mine completely and a vpn that does not cut off will give you free data only so no call by cell only voip but help for custom recovery would be nice

@Jt money - Thanks for sharing your wifi tether success. I'm assuming kingo root is only a different root application. I did find the green apn app called 'change apn' on the app store. Looking at what you wrote would I go under 'APN2 LTE internet' and APN type which is by default 'default/mms to Dun or add ,Dun to the end of it. Thanks for any clarification you can give. I'll be really excited if I can finally have wifi tether back. I have been using usb tether for awhile now.

Holy crap. I did just add the ,Dun and tried out the standard wifi tether and it worked. I can't believe it was that simple of a fix. I am super appreciative! It is so nice to have it back.

I found a way to get stock recovery fixed without losing root or your personal files. This also updates the firmware without losing apps/root/anything. YOU MUST BE ROOTED!
1. Go here and sign up for the the beta (You just have to click a button)
2. Download it from google play.
3. Go here and find your latest firmware and carrier. SPR is sprint, BST is boost mobile, and VMU is probably virgin mobile. XAS is a carrier but I have no idea which; Google yields no results.
4. Click download, and you will have to sign up for the website. Its free and the 15 kb/s download is a lie unless your internet is that slow
.
5. Once you download your firmware, extract the tar.md5 file and put it somewhere you can find it on the device.
6. Open FlashFire and read the warnings carefully. If you follow my directions, you should be fine, but if anything happens to your device it is not my fault. You chose to follow this tutorial.
7. Allow root access and select actions. Press "+" and select "Flash Firmware Package". Select the tar.md5 from earlier.
8. The app will read the file. After its done make sure system, recovery, boot, and cache is checked.
9. Scroll down and press "Flash"
10. The screen will go black, just wait for a few seconds and a bunch of code will run scroll across the screen. Then, it will show the install of the system,recovery, etc. and when its done FlashFire will also install su. When its done the device will reboot.
11. The phone will optimize applications and when its done, all of the things you had before is still there, except the firmware is updated and the recovery is fixed!
The only thing that might change for Boost Mobile users is that Boost will install a bunch of apps and change the homescreen. All the apps can be deleted and the homescreen can be changed though.
