Hey guys. I used to have a myTouch4G (stock OS) and I used to be able to open the hotspot from it and connect my laptop wireless when I'm on the road.
I recently upgraded my phone to Note 2 and when I was about to try its hotspot, it was asking me to upgrade my plan to include mobile hotspot.
I was able to do it before with my same plan. How can I do this on my Note 2 without rooting?
Thanks.
pretty sure you have to be rooted to do it..
Actually you can just use foxfi

Foxfi does not work with JB, need to root, use TrevEs modded wifi tether and vpn1click if you want to connect to a laptop.

Thanks for the replies.
Is this not going to require upgrading my plan?
I am assuming you are on the unlimited data plan like myself, so no it will not, what I posted above does work (only solution I have found so far that does). I just played on xbox live for a hour with no issues.

Here is the link that has a video that shows you how to root, it is quite simple. Just make sure you have a computer with internet access handy when you do it.

Yes I'm on an unlimited plan. It used to work on a stock MT4G before and its weird that it doesnt for Note 2. I guess I have to root this. I havent tried it though so I guess I have to study it.
Would really appreciate a link for the easiest way of rooting my Note 2
Also where can I get TrevEs modded wifi tether and vpn1click?
Thanks for the help.

Odin as directed in this thread and you are rooted. Super simple. When you are done your set in two ways, your device is rooted and you have experience with a very useful and powerful tool (Odin).

You don't search or read that's what!!
I'm talking about native wifi tether. I'll work on getting it unlocked if no one else ha done it so far. I'm not talking about using Foxfi or any other third party crap. I have not found a thread or room in the att section with native wifi tether unlocked.
Why don't you be useless and tell me to search again....

I thought foxfi don't work right now unless somebody modified from xda or they came up with ics fix ???
I want to root and enable native tether or not root and use foxfi
I don't want to use custom rom since I may break my device

He doesn't know that foxfi unlocks the native tethering but has its own GUI it uses for settings and sets its own name as the hotspot. Or for everybody's info that's how it works lol.

ROM's don't break devices...People break devices.
I've never had a rom ruin my device but I have seen where people have bricked their device because they didn't know what they were doing . I have even heard of people flashing roms for different phones on to their own... Ya, it does get comical around here. lol

correct rom don't break your device but people do. but changing rom makes you break device if something goes wrong. i had captivate and i used to load rom easily without issue using clockwordmod recovery. one day i loaded cyangenmod rom and try to load other rom after that and my device never boot up and keep rebooting . cyangenmod changed my boot logo from samsung to cyangenmod and i cant even goto change my device out under warranty.
Foxfi does work now with 1.95 version i guess fix is out and as long as it unlocks native tethering in background then i dont need anything now. i m happy.:laugh::laugh:
That sounds like a simple boot-loop, if the phone appears to be continually rebooting and not loading the OS. Maybe not bricked at all...
What happened when you restored your backup?

But can I get some clarification? I am looking for methods to usb tether but everywhere I look on here are fixes for wifi tether. Now am I correct in thinking wifi tether is the same as mobile hotspot because that works flawlessly atm. USB tethering works but only when my phone is on wifi, if on 4g I get the dreaded "pay up sucka!" screen.

Have you tried a ROM with unrestricted tethering mod built in ? Or something like this :

Evil1art is one of the most "user service" oriented devs in this forum... Jump in his thread and ask... The users of that ROM are also very knowledgeable and friendly when it comes to helping others

Actually I did post but am kind of in a bind and need to get this working even if its just for 10 minutes lol
I like the stock ROM, and I'm trying to figure out how to root it now (browsing threads looking for the easiest to follow method) but I'd like to know, once rooted, how can I enable tethering? I have unlimited data, and don't want to switch. I rarely use tethering, but I like the option. Thanks
Your signature suggests you are using a Verizon S3. Do you also have an at&t model? If not, check out the Verizon S3 boards for better support and the correct firmware and mods.
Ah derp. I have AT&T now using a plan that was grandfathered. I'll fix that

I have the Galaxy Note 2 and its dopetastic. I have it rooted and it works great. No problems at all (Jedi ROM). My question is when you are rooted and are using the hotspot that comes on the custom ROM......do you get throttled? Like does T-Mobile know that you are using the hotspot when you are rooted?
Any answers would be great!! Thanks folks!!
Yes they tell when ur using hotspot (tethering) if you're rooted they have sniffer agents get wifi treve mod(search google) and hola(playstore) when you got them ill help you with the settings to get it working without t mobile knowing

First off, you don't need to be rooted to tether. The is a myth and all to often the reason to root when you don't need to root.
Second. They will not know if you are rooted or not through the network.
Yes, they will know if you are tethering. Now days all plans come with 500mb of data on tethering by default. I use Hola and seems to hide the tethering.
I just wanted to set straight on two myths. Need root to tether. Not true. And the cellular provider can tell that I am rooted through the network. Again, not true.
Yea I was gonna tell him to use foxfi and use usb mode but hes rooted so I was keafing him towards what I use hola and wifi treve mod you I dont got to worrie about my 500 mb running out and he didnt ask if they could tell if ur rooted just if they could tell ur using hotspot while ur rooted

Is there a way to use the mobile hotspot on a gs4 with using the cellular data pool not the mobile hot spot pool? That way the hot spot is almost limitless. This may be in another thread but I am not really sure to search for, for this topic. Any help would be appreciated.
