Hi, I've been looking for something like this for a while and tried pretty much all the options on google. And my last hope, PdaNet with FoxFi addon has failed me too, so I've pretty much run out of options.
So, what I'm looking for is to turn my GN into a wireless router without my network detecting that I'm doing so. A lot of the tethering apps out there can achieve this by enable Bluetooth or USB tethering, but that's not how I want it, I want to turn it into a wireless router. Sadly FoxFi fails everytime I try to enable it.
So any of you genius out there knows of an app that can do this, please share. Thank you so much in advance.

If you root and flash any custom rom, it has native built in tethering. As for unrooted apps u named them all
I actually have the AndroidME custom rom installed and have root. It does have the native tethering option, but I always thought that feature is detectable by the wireless carriers. Or have I been torturing myself this whole time? lol.
The native tethering app goes undetected for me when I use my laptop, but if I connect my ps3 to it, I get the redirect when trying to use the browser. None of the third party apps work on my Rom at all. Frustrating, but I've just gotten used to not using my ps3 online.

If your on tmobile Try this..
Create new APN
Settings, wireless and networks, more, access point names.
Name it some thing like "data" and under APN put "epc. T-Mobile.com" (no quotes)
Leave everything else blank and save, then set as default.
Profit
Hope this helps.. used to work on my amaze.
This always solved
the T-Mobile nag screen problem
If foxfi didn't work then there is a setting you need to ad to your APN settings.
I use the default tethering app in android and haven't had any problems.
What I did was make sure my APN type in my APN settings read the following with no spaces.
"default,supl,mms,dun"
You should be able to use the default tethering and hotspot with no problems after that.
Works on both stock and rooted devices across the board.
If your running jellybean, then you don't have to add "dun" but I add it anyway for good measure.
Happy tethering.
Thanks for the tips, gonna be moving to simple mobile next month and hopefully these tricks will work.

I could be wrong here, if you set the user agent of your desktop to a mobile browser signature, the carrier will only see mobile data and not tethered desktop data

they do look up packets and if they see user-agent string IE, they think you're tethering and if you don't have plan then you have a problem

I don't know which one of your fixes work but I did both and I now have wifi tethering using Fox-fi unrooted with my unlimited T-mobile 4g data plan! Thanks! Been searching for days on how to get it to work since I got my Nexus 7.
And it seems to work fine with the native hotspot app. I just downloaded an additional widget called Hotspot Toggle to make it easy to turn on and off.
Thanks again folks!
The easiest way is to use a User Agent Switcher.
You can read more details about it on here - http://gezby.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=69
Download "Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot Widget" and put that on a homescreen. A simple push of that icon will activate native tethering and bypass carrier check ups. Been using it for the last year with zero issues.
FWIW I've been using Native tethering since I first bought my VZW Nexus in December without a hitch. Since switching to T-Mobile I have also been using the Native tethering to my Nexus 7 without issue. I haven't used a tethering app since the gingerbread days

No the other guy is right.
Using a User Agent Switcher you will be able to bypass tethering blocks set by your network provider.

Anyone know which program, since the JB 4.1.1 updated (AT&T SGH-I747) will allow tethering preferably both wifi and usb. I tried this one and can't get it to work with the Samsung S3 profile selected or the Galaxy Nexus GSM profile selected.

Don't think you can unless u root your phone. At&t doesn't allow it.

I'm rooted. That app I referenced specifically says you need a rooted phone. I just don't see the SSID come up on my notebook. I want something that can also tether USB too, as then I don't have to worry about locking down security on the Wifi or draining the phone battery.
What are the options if you root it?

Been searching for an hour now. Tried two other apps. Neither worked. (Neither said root was necessary). Not willing to pay for Foxfi just to see it not work. Elixir 2 people have used but I think this is all pre Jelly Bean, at least for the GSM (AT&T) version of this phone.
Seems maybe we have to wait. All the apps, videos, posts out there seem to be for ICS. Guess this is the downfall when you update within 24 hours of the update being released. Need to let the developers catch up.
I can confirm pdanet works....havent tried foxfi but im sure it does as well considering how similar they work...
Galaxy S III I747
Prior to update I was using FoxFi and it looks like it still works with Jelly Bean but I'm unable to get the Proxy Add-On to work since Jelly Bean.
Do you think I'll get caught tethering if I run FoxFi without the Add-On or does the Add-On only provide a false sense of security and is really not making a difference?
If it makes a difference, I'm on one of the old 2GB plans, not the new shared plans, but not unlimited either. Also, I'm stock, not rooted.
Finally, if you don't think this works, any suggestions that would work in this situation?
Thanks!

I was on the old 5GB plan (the one that allowed tethering) and switched to the new shared plan (since I don't do that much data but do call a lot and wanted the unlimited calling (saves me over a hundred bucks a month)) and on these plans they do allow tethering. From what I understand, you will need to have a rooted phone if you want to tether under any other (older) plan..

I guess we should be specific that we are looking for apps that not only work on JB 4.1.1 but also don't require a tethering or shared data plan. So people say an apps works but fail to point out it's because their carrier is okaying the app since they have a qualifying plan. So pdanet works on JB 4.1.1 SGH-I747 without an AT&T tethering or shared data plan?

No...you should have said "I have no clue what im doing so can you please explain every single detail to me?". WTF does a tethering plan have to do with you being able to tether or not if youre rooted? You need to disable to tethering provision via TB!

Not everyone on here has been on an Android phone and screwing with it all their lives. For example, what the heck is "TB" ? Don't assume everyone has as much experience as you, just because they are a participant on XDA. And I should also add on that requirement, NO CUSTOM ROM.
So an appropriate answer might be the following:
If you are on JB 4.1.1 and want to tether without a tethering plan from your carrier, and you are on the STOCK ROM. You need to do this, this, this and this. Or just post a frickin link to someone who DID take the time to explain it for the rest of us. Does your solution require rooting, or doesn't it. STATE IT. So future people when they search the forums, they don't find a bunch of misleading, dead-end solutions and/or bickering.
I just came from iPhone and I was a jailbreaker. I'm loving the S3 and Jelly Bean. But on the iPhone, I'd jailbreak (equivalent of rooting on Android), install MyWiFi, and DONE and DONE. It seems this was how it was on ICS with this phone. Now on JB, not so simple. There's dozens of posts on several threads on several forums around the Internet of people no longer getting their tethering app to work since JB upgrade. These are both rooted and non-rooted, but they are all STOCK JB ROMs.
So please, tell us the trick to get a stock JB 4.1.1 ROM SGH-I747 AT&T to tether without the plan. We are all ears!

Not sure as I've been to busy with my real life outside of XDA to spend hours reading and reading posts.
Bottom line, if there was an app you can just download and install for ICS before that worked, isn't it just a matter of time until someone publishes an app on Google Play (may require rooting, big deal) that does the same without a bunch of workarounds and crap.
Look one post above yours
Install that zip file via CWM(clockworkmodrecovery)....then download TITANIUM BACKUP (TB...you need the pro version...you can download lucky patcher for that) and go in and freeze the tethering provision app. This will allow you to tether without your carrier knowing...kindof...
P.S. ICS was the same protocol. You have to freeze the tethering provision...
Galaxy S III I747
Thank you. I've got Titanium Backup installed now. So should I just use the built-in AT&T tethering app now or is it 'safer' to use something else?
Found it.
Still no love. CW Recovery and Team Epic Root Installed. TB Pro installed. Tethering Provisioning Uninstalled.
Tried to Tethering Apps on Google Play, neither work. "Free USB Tethering App" and "Wifi Tethering for Root" (tried Auto and Samsung S3 profiles). No Dice. Thought there was an native AT&T app but may have uninstalled it with TB when cleaning out bloatware.
SGH-I747 AT&T
Okay, duh, I found the Tether toggle in Advanced Settings. I also found a couple tether apps that don't require root that actually came up on the network, but I get 'Limited' connectivity indication in Windows with no Internet access.
Now get this, whenever I go into Settings > Advanced > Tether if I toggle it on or off or toggle USB sharing on, I get the message "Settings application has stopped working" Some of the tethering apps also "stop working" when I try to run them even though I see the blue tether notification icon in the status bar and I can see the SSID on the network and connect, but it is as if the phones ability to bridge the wifi hotspot it is providing to the 4G Internet connection is broke.
****. Do I need to load Kies and to a stock firmware restore, or is that not even possible not that I have CW recovery installed. I really really didn't want to get into this Android tweaking Hell and now I'm there. Another wasted frickin weekend! Maybe I'll just go back to iPhone. Hopefully the iOS 6 jailbreak is out now (untethered).
Kind of ticked up about being lead down the road that indicated just freezing the tethering provisioning was the solution to all my woes. Maybe it worked for some (are you on JB 4.1.1 with AT&T SGH-I747???) but not me. After a couple more hours of searching and searching, including all sorts of YouTube videos showing using FoxFi, Wifi Tether for Root, etc, and then a lot of recent comments about it nor working. Anyways.....
Soultion is a newer hacked version of Wifi Tether for Rooted user that is not on the Play Store and the apk has to be downloaded directly. Current version is here:

What a pain in the ass it took to finally find this. Guess that's the price you pay when you are brand new to Android and an OS update comes out two weeks after you got your phone and you install it the day it comes out. Sigh.
Ugh. Got too excited too quick. You can't toggle Wifi back on after shutting down tethering without restarting phone! Guess it's going to be a few more days until some good developers come out with a simple one-app solution without issues. It was WAY easier to get free tethering on the jailbroken iPhone that this. I'm shocked this is so hard right now on Android JB 4.1.1. But I have to remember the OS update just came out.
Has anyone been able to get the 'WiFi tether for Root Users' or TrevE Mod working in Cyanogenmod 10.1.2 or any AOSP ROM on the SGH-T999? I ask because I haven't. I reached my 500mb cap for this billing cycle and want to maybe prevent that from happening in the future, or at least get it working.

What you are attempting to do is not possible? They should be able to measure the amount of data that goes through your phone, because it can be done on their end, so there would be nothing for you to exploit. My understanding of the tethering hacks were that they allowed you to tether if you didn't have the tethering provision on your account (whether you did not pay for it, or are unlimited, and they don't give you the option). I've seen the hacks that claim to be able to bypass the data caps, but unsure why it would be implemented in such a way that anyone could exploit it.

Well of course they can watch my data use, but whether or not I'm tethering with that data is another thing. I was able to use about a gig and a half last billing cycle on their unlimited plan, by just using TrevE mod (no vpn app) on Touchwiz based roms and only about 300mb showed in the tmo my account app.
I was under the impression from what I've read that apps like TrevE mod can give you more access untell they put the kibosh on you, and if you go though a VPN you can use it all you want cause all of the network traffic is going though the VPN app not Windows and Chrome etc. which they look for.
I'm mainly wondering if that app 'WiFi Tether For Root Users/TrevE mod' has worked at all in AOSP, even 4.1.x.
I think T-Mobile has improved their detection and now know when you're using those apps or mods. Lately everyone seems to be reporting that they do not work.
As to whether or not you could use em in cm, I doubt it. If you didn't see it say so in the op and it wasn't reported working by others posting in the thread, it's safe to say it doesn't.
Did you search and read through the thread?

I haven't seen tethering or hotspot mentioned at all in any T999 AOSP op i've looked at which is discouraging. For CM10.1 people seem to only talk about the the included tether.
As for 'WiFi Tether for Root Users' its so widely used any thread I look at is device specific most of the time, and/or for that devices stock rom. But there are so many settings in there though I thought maybe someone got it working.
If they did they would have posted it in the mods thread if anywhere. But if it can't be done you could almost certainly find that info in the same thread.

I am running CM10, rooted on a SGH-T999. Following the forums I downloaded Hotspot Shield as the post stated it was the only shield (VPN or otherwise) that would work with TreveE-Mod Wifi-Tether. Sadly, I found that using Hotspot Shield really slowed down my connection to a crawl and also caused problems using tether to stream Netflix, Hulu+. etc. I did find another VPN app that worked (Hideninja VPN) but it also slowed me down tremendously and caused issues with nationwide streaming copyright protections on Netflix, etc. as well. I do pay the $30 for T-Mob's unlimited albeit shackled internet package.
I have a newer Dell laptop running WIN8 and have not tested this on any other version of Windows but:
My SGH-T999, CM10 and TreveE-Mod all work together flawlessly to give me a T-Mob upsell to WiFi hotspot message in my browser whether I change the User Agent or not. :crying::crying::crying:
Then I installed UltraSurf VPN on my laptop and my tethered speeds are AWESOME!! WITHOUT having to change my User Agent settings.
No need for Hotspot Shield or HideNinja.... no VPN setup on my phone, just UltraSurf on my puter and the tortoise has turned into a hare!

I know this is probably not the section for this topic but there have been several posts on it with no definitive answers....I use FoxFi WiFi Tether on all my devices without a glitch, even the new Nexus 5, but not this phone " WHY ?????

With this device it shows a connection to the computer but it wont allow the internet connection....I can use the USB function of the FoxFi but have to install PDAnet to work. I know TrevE WiFi Tether app is installed with most Roms and works to a certain degree but not copletely with ZVC. From what I can deduce, it has something to do with the WPA (WPA2) settings for the phone. This is obviously a Dev issue so will someone with the know-how fix this problem for everyone....Personally, I will be happy to donate to someone to get it done.....so "Brains", get a project going on it and help us out....Thanks...

I never had a problem with Treve Wifi tether, although I don't use it for long at a time I just set device to galaxy nexus cdma/lte and it works. I do wish we had the native option enabled like my wifes S3 and our old Evo's, the native option is by far the best.

Thank you for your response. I've tried every setting possible that I know of for TrevE wifi, and like I said, I can connect but it does not let me download torrents and any tracked downloads. When I was on ZV9 Lifeless it worked fine but upgrading to ZVC caused the problems. I will ask you as I asked the other responder, please try to download a torrent with Utorrent and let me know if you can. If you can I would appreciate knowing what Rom, Kernel and Wifi settings you have. Thanks.

Well actually, I've downloaded a couple thinking that would work and tried to install but I can't get data working. I even tried that "apn" fix. At first, I downloaded Kit Kat 4.4, then CM 11. After initial install I don't have any service what so ever then after the "apn" fix, I have service but no data. I've never used AOSP Roms before so apparently I have no idea what I am doing installing them. If you have any pointers I would appreciate it.

After initial install I don't have any service what so ever then after the "apn" fix, I have service but no data. I've never used AOSP Roms before so apparently I have no idea what I am doing installing them. If you have any pointers I would appreciate it.
PM me if you want.

It may be something with your phone then if you cant get tether on any aosp rom. Did you use Freegee to flash recovery? I only ask because the newer aosp roms some require a special recovery for them to flash correctly but if you use Freegee either recovery works just fine.

I flashef back to dev edition 5.0 and used Treve wifi tether to download a torrent on my wifes S3. The only thing I did was change device profile to generic wlan0 and check send netd max client cmd.

I was hoping you could do it on this device. TrevE's works on my other phones too, just not this one.
use native
WiFi hotspot on aosp ROMs or custom ROM I'm using Cm11 to feed wifi to my nexus 7 from my ls970.

I know this is an issue with the OG because its the only phone FoxFi does not work on.....and Ive tried 17 different phones, all the major brands and a couple china phones too. On my old S3, both FoxFi and TrevE worked fine...Is there a built in firewall in the WiFi system of this phone? Damn i wish I knew how to rewrite script...

Im kinda confused now because I've download torrents on my phone and my nexus 7 using utorrent and wifi tether, I just downloaded the Scott Pilgrim vs. the World soundtrack on my nexus 7 so I know it works. I will try Foxfi and see what happens but I would guess Treve wifi would be the better option. Have you tried Treve wifi using the settings I mentioned above, I've been using treve wifi since evo3d days and never had a problem once I got it setup properly.
if we can get through entitlement checks for the tether all the others will work after that i bet. i suck at smali but there are lots of devs that done in here. any takers?

Yes, I've tried your settings. I have the DE v5 download....I'll install it again and try your settings on that Rom....do kernels have anything to do with the wifi stuff?
Thanks for continuing to try and help...

So basically you are saying it is possible to make the wifi tethering issues better for this device, just finding a Dev to work out the problems is the issue..
Like I've said before, I don't mind donating to that project if someone will step up to do it. I'm simple minded when it comes to stuff like that but would it not be possible to copy code from another LG device ( like the Nexus 5) that tether works well and just work it in?

i was looking at another source for the sprint gs4 it is missing all the entitlement smali code in services.jar so even if you delete the entitlement code you have to sift through the other files to delete any other code that defines the entitlement code. ill pull both of them up on a diff viewer.
and see how different they really are....

OK I thought you were trying to download on your phone. On your computer you have to make sure the correct ports are open. Im not sure but I think the ports that need to be open for torrents start around 6881 and if its not open the program will try to use the next available port that can be used for torrents. Vuze makes setup easy and is much faster than bittorrent or utorrent and its not constantly downloading background stuff like bittorrent and utorrent.
hi everyone. did a search, didnt find what i was looking for. i've been using my wifi hotspot so much that i use up my date half way before the month ends every month. and my carrier doesnt have an option to increase hotspot data. so i decided to root my phone and try the wifi tether apps that are available in the play store. they work, but not as good as the stock wifi hotspot that my phone comes with. it doesnt even compare. is there an app that i dont know about or rom that works as good as the stock wifi hotspot on my phone? also the usb tether works, i have no issues with that. the problem is, i wanna use the wifi for my smart tv and xbox one, but they dont support the usb tether that i'm using with foxfi. thanks in advance. i'm using nexus 5x android 7.0 build n5d91L.
I dont know if im right, but PureNexus ROM has unlocked WIFI Hotspot. Im on this ROM but i cant test it for You (unlimited data on hotspot).

I see you mentioned a November build installed in your device. If you want to try PureNexus, be aware that ROM uses the December build which is based on official Android 7.1.1 and not 7.0 like the one you mentioned. You would need to update your bootloader, radio and vendor accordingly to avoid issues with that ROM. How-tos are everywhere, including in that thread (use Search).
I don't quite understand your original problem, since your WiFi hotspot tethering was working with the built in app. Do you have limited tethering but otherwise unlimited data? Did the PureNexus ROM hide this tether usage somehow?
I'm having this same issue, my phone won't even turn hotspot on with FoxFi. Its a brand new phone but decided to go ahead and root it.
Trying to find an app or build.prop line that will re-enable hotspot on Android 5.1.1.
