Not working.
Telling me to the tmobile page asking to enable teetering. .

For the few that have the "enable tethering" for T-Mobile page, get a add-on (chrome) called agentswitch, you get the "enable tethering" page because your phone knows that its not the phone that is using the data, get agentswich and set it to safari (doesn't change the theme or anything like that, just makes it look like your phone is using the data)

I got it to work, but you have to exit out (hit the home button) before the phone can check for your tethering plan. This worked several months ago, not sure if any updates have plugged that hole.

Anyone found a work around the wifi tether issue? Rooted phone stock ICS.
If you can use Bluetooth then FoxFi + PDANet Tablet works well between me and my tablet. Not sure if it works with a laptop.
Go into titanium backup, and either freeze or uninstall tethering provision.

I don't know if that was exactly the tethering file i uninstalled with TiB, but that one isn't listed for me.
Actually, if i did remove it then that's probably what lets me use the built in tethering (under wireless settings). No redirect page for me... hm...

Wait, what's issue you're having? Are you trying to get back free hotspot for turning your device into a hotspot, or you can't connect?

Unsure if device management was needed.

I deleted the apk to the HotSpot, and now I have to go all around settings to activate it. Unfortunately, I don't remember the name of that APK, and either I'm blind, or none of them have an obvious name. If someone could point me to it, it would be awesome. I downloaded Mr. X's zipped rom, but can't find it there.
I could go to the market, and download one of those shortcut thingies, but I don't want those, I want the stock one.
Also, FYI, the only thing that has to be frozen/deleted is the Tethering Provision.

Thanks ejcortes, because this is what im looking for aswell.
Hi All,
I am having a slightly different issue. I'm rooted and have frozen the 'TetheringProvision 1.04.02.TM'.
When I was broadcasting, my computer wouldn't connect to the network. My workaround was to delete the connection in Windows Network Manager and reconnect.
My tethering icon is different than the above screenshots, I have a T-Mobile branded icon.
Now that I'm able to connect, I'm getting a message in my webbrowser to sign up for a tethering plan. I've tried a User-Agent switcher, but that didn't work... anyone have any suggestions?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is the message:
Turn your Smartphone into a Mobile HotSpot!
Share your smartphone's high-speed internet connection with your laptop, iPad®, iPod®, or any other Wi-Fi enabled device.
it sounds like you did everything right that is weird. What browser do you use chrome? try a different browser first. Even though a different user string should have worked. Maybe they are catching on. Dont forget that all the carriers have people in here as well so they all know what we are doing.
Try using a phone or ipod to connect to your hotspot and see if that works.

I'm having similar issues with mobile hotspot. I have tried freezing and deleting Tether provisioning, device management, and a number of other stock services. However no matter what, the T-Mobile icon always appears when I enable hotspot or wifi tethering and I'm limitted to the stupid WEP access with generated keys.
Anyone have a functional workaround for enabling the ICS hotspot service? currently i'm using FoxFi, but would rather have the real deal
I deleted the tethering provisioning directly from system/app and mine is working fine both the usb tethering n hotspot tethering. I used root explorer to do so

ROM manage has a tethering app. Seems to work fine.
I am running rooted stock ICS and could not get tethering to work by freezing tethering manager. Then I installed the WIFI Tether app (the one made by the Titanium Backup people) and was able to tether via that app. That worked for about an hour and now I am getting the TMO upsell screen even when I try to tether through the WIFI Tether app. Any ideas?
You should freeze/uninstalling TETHERING PROVISION.

the things I used to get this to work are not mine. I give thanks to WarlockW for his guide to removing the locked and hidden apns.
I was hit with a message a while back saying t mobile has blocked my tethering. After doing a few things, I was able to get it to work on my phone again after being hit with the message of death.
Note: I'm using CM10 so if you cant get this working, try a non-stock rom
1. Go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1962752 and go through the steps to remove the hidden apns and add his modified apn file to your phone.
2. You need to be able to use a vpn. If you want a free one, I'm using "Hotspot shield vpn" from the marketplace to enable my vpn with its settings, otherwise, go into system settings -> wireless and networks -> vpn. then go ahead and add your favorite vpn.
3. You need to download a tethering app from the marketplace. I'm using wifi tether for root users, the link for it is on our forums somewhere, just have to look for it.
if it works, I'm happy with just thanks, donate to your favorite developer
Hmmm usually with aosp based roms you just need to change user agents and use the native tethering to avoid the upsell page. Did you try that before doing all this?

I rooted and expected to use Wifi Tether using my stock ROM like I did with my GSII but it kept erroring when activating the wifi.. I'm not entirely sure how it works or if it would work for others but I downloaded Power Toggles on the appstore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.painless.pc specifically for an NFC toggle (which was worthless as it only opened the settings menu) but I happened to try out the Hotspot toggle and I noticed it just skips past the verification step and turns on the hotspot. I haven't actually tested it out yet but I did notice the AP it broadcasted showed up on my friends phone.

Use ES File Explorer, the newest one. Go to the sidebar, then the Tools menu, then Net Manager. I'm using the random APN. Go to your computer, wireles networks, click the ssid from ES File Explorer and and put in the password. Done.

I'm on AT&T stock and not rooted. I have a grandfathered unlimited data plan (yes, likely throttled at some point).
I just found out an app I've had for years on android allows me to hotspot my Note 2 and my Bro's SG S4. Both are stock and NOT rooted.
The app is ES File Explorer. Look in Tools / Net Manager / Create Hot Spot
This made my day. No root or ROM. Just a free app I've used for years who's new feature rocks my world. I hope that helps.

Um pretty sure if your rooted and on the plan you could tether with certain ROMs built in, or download WiFi tether with root from the play store

I work for T-Mo,
I'm unsure if Tmobile has blocked any level of tethering (you can bypass it on ANY other plan) I haven't seen an attempt on
"truly unlimited" yet.
What you CAN try to do is download
"WiFi tether for root users"
Google it on a computer, and downloaded the LATEST apk.
If you are using a rom above ICS
You will need to use a user agent changer in order to browse, it will cut you off because the system detects
if you're using I.E or Mozilla, and it will route you to a page to upgrade blah blah blah.
There are other threads here that show u how to do it.

Edit: Okay so I couldn't find it so here it is (Credit to whoever posted it):
1- Somewhere in these forums there is TrevE_Mod wifi tether mod.apk download it.
2-Google play -> Search Hotspot Shield VPN -> Download
3-Open Hotspot Shield VPN and start protection
4- Open TrevE_Mod tether ap -> menu button -> settings
5- Follow:
Device profile- generic ics/jb (wlan0)
Setup Method - Netd-Ndc (master)
Check box - Send Netd Max Client Cmd
Then Check boxes - Wifi driver reload and Wifi Driver reload 2
After you configured your steps to wifi tether:
1- Open Hotspot Shield VP and start protection
2- Go to TrevE_Mod wifi tether app and hit the press start to tether (takes about 15-20 seconds to actually work)
3- Connect to the hotspot
I have seen many posts regarding the tethering and hotspot on T-mobile, as it is only available on the data plans that are not unlimited. T-mobile blocks most tethering and hotspot apps but there are some ways to get around this. Most ways to avoid purchasing the tethering plan require root. However, this one does not. After a lot of searching I finally found a solution. The only con of this is that it does not support hotspot, only USB tethering. It is compatible with Mac OS, Windows OS, and Ubuntu OS. I am still searching for an update that will allow this to work with Chrome OS as I just purchased a Google Chromebook. This is a great feature while you are on the go, or do not have an internet connection at home.
The first step to the process is to download the Android app from the google Play Store. It is called ClockworkMod Tether. The app is free for 14 days. Once the 14 days is up, you will be able to purchase the full edition for $4.99. The upgrade is in app only, so you must download the free version first. Why wouldn't you anyways?
Once you have downloaded the app, as you will notice when you open it, you will need to download the app for your computer. It will ask you to open the app on your computer to get started. There is an app as well as a driver that is needed for this. In order to get the driver, you will need to visit clockworkmod.com. You can visit the site from your computer or your phone, which is convenient if you don't already have internet access. You will then need to click tether drivers at the top of the screen. It will take you to a list of makes of phones such as Motorola, Samsung, etc. Obviously, being the Samsung Galaxy s III, you are going to click the samsung drivers link. After it is downloaded, if you are using your computer, simply open the file and install it. If you have downloaded it to your SIII, you will need to connect your phone to your computer, find the file in the folder clockworkmod, and install it.
After everything is installed, you can open the app in your phone and turn on the tethering. After you have done this, open the program (which should also be installes from the clockworkmod folder) and click start. It will configure and it should say connected after a few seconds. Then, open your browser and you should be online!
I just discovered this and so far it is working GREAT! I got booted off once, not really sure what happened. But I turned off the tethering through the app first, then through the computer and restarted it all again and all is good. Hope this helps everyone looking for the answer! I will post again when I discover a way to use hotspot for free with no root.
