Rooting on its own, won't do anything, but freezing or deleting the tethering manager or the tethering provision (if you're on stock ICS) should get the job done.
Now keep in mind that T-Mobile's tethering detection works by detecting your browser agent. Therefore if you're tethering another android phone, then they won't know (unless they were to inspect packets of data, which they don't do) but if tethering to a PC it's best to install a Web Browser agent switch, so they think that you're really using your Android browser.
Now keep in mind that you're doing this completely on your own risk. It should work, but if they catch you, then there might be consequences.

[APP] WiFi Tether for T-Mobile GS4 !

I did NOT create this app and only take credit for finding and testing it.
So far this is the ONLY WiFi Tether app I tried that works on my T-Mobile Galaxy S4.
I tested it by linking to my Asus TF700 tablet.
1-Click WiFi Tether No Root is a FREE app available on Google Play Store.
Best of all, it does not require ANY tinkering with profile settings.
Just install it,
run it,
click ON
and then search for the WiFi signal from your other portable device or PC.
My Asus tablet found the signal and locked on in less than 5 seconds.
Note: There is also a Pro version available for $9.98 that offers WPA security if you need or want that added feature.
If you appreciate my find, simply click THANKS so I know this wasn't a wasted thread post!

Use firefox with an addon called User Agent Switcher set to android and you'll be fine.
The way T-Mobile tries to stop you from tethering without paying extra (which is total bs by the way) is by sniffing out user agents from things that aren't androids.

I thought tmo allows free hot spot service now for the $50+ plan

I'll quote exactly what it says on my T-Mobile Galaxy S4 (model SGH-M919) when I clicked the Help menu about using Wi-Fi hotspot:
"To use your phone's hotspot capability, you must have the Smartphone Mobile HotSpot service added to your rate plan."
They key word here is "added" which means it is NOT free unlimited hotspot service.
Here's what it says on the T-Mobile website page about this service:
"T-Mobile's Simple Choice Rate Plans all include Smartphone Mobile HotSpot up to their data limit, except for Unlimited 4G data which includes 500MB of Smartphone Mobile HotSpot. You can add additional capped Smartphone Mobile HotSpot usage: $10 per month per line for 3GB or $20 per month for 4GB."
The FREE app I mention in the OP is FREE. Whether or not T-Mobile can & will
be able to monitor the use of the 1-Click free app is yet to be determined.

Anyone else try and just fire it up anyway? My first generation MyTouch4G had free Hotspot. On my new S4 I turned it on and got the above message but it still created a hotspot and didn't require me to commit to a plan change. However my laptop doesn't even see it and my old MyTouch sees but fails to connect.
Downloaded and tried that app. No luck. Laptop sees the Wifi and connected but no internet access (Limited or no connectivity) Old Mytouch saw it but was unable to connect.

I used to see in my T-mobile My Account app, that i had 500 MB of tethered data to be used, but now that i have the S4, I don't see the option. Go figure, I upgrade, and I lose my ability to tether.

Will this work if Im rooted. Thanks

(Q) free wifi tethering

So I went to the (how to guide) here and it describes how to get it with the wifi tether app and being rooted... well ive done that mate.... and I check my t-mobile account and it still uses my 2.5 gigs of free wifi tethering.... is there another way?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app

If you already have a plan with free tethering what exactly do you expect from this? If you use data, it's going to show up on your account as being used whether you are tethering or not.

I don't expect anything I just thought the WiFi tethering would show up on on my data plan which is unlimited. My tether plan is only 2.5 gigs plan. It does the same as the stock hotspot tethering. Which in turn renders that app "WiFi tethering" useless. Its no big deal just asking the guide said he could use unlimited WiFi tether and T-Mobile didn't charge him for unlimited use... that wasnt the case for me....

It works for all data going in and out of your phone. And it all depends on which vpn you choose. A lot of free ones slow down data speeds to keep it free. Paid ones do not.

If your with Tmobile... use the my tmobole account app
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app

STEP 1
"STOCK ROM"
-download "1 click tether" from the market...this will force the internal tethering to turn on
OR
Run an AOSP rom, internal tethering is unlocked in aosp roms
STEP 2
once youve figured out step one, you should be able to tether, whether on aosp or tw ,it dont matter....only problem is, tmobile will soon block you because of your user agent on the computer
so you have two options...
1. download a browser on your computer that supports changing your user agent...chrome, firefox...ect...change the user agent to something other than windows...you can now use unlimited tethering on your browser.
NOW.....This will only give internet to the browser, not the computer globally...The only way to get global tethering on every program on the pc you'd have to set up a VPN...via the phone or via pc...VPN's are usually not free thou
My setup
-Running CM10 ROM
-Using the internal tethering option in the rom
-I use google chrome
-In google chrom i use this extension called "user agent switcher" https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/user-agent-switcher/lkmofgnohbedopheiphabfhfjgkhfcgf
-everytime i open google chrome i change the user agent to "safari on mac"
DONE

Yes try vpn hideman.

Any other suggestions for tether limit?

So far I have tried wifi tether router, zip fix to remove provisions, changing apn settings, adding dun to the stock apn, tried wifi tether from the thread here at XDA. And not a damn thing has worked. This is getting ridiculous what other options are there to get around the annoying up sell page?

Thanks I'll try emailing him. and @sevenslugs whats the name of the APN to try I only have LTE, tether (which doesn't stick) and IMS which I have no idea what that is.

If you are using tweaked you should have a "NoLTE" apn for tethering

Yeah that's exactly what I did and when I tether it has never reported more than a few mbs and that's steaming Netflix

I'll try next month when my bill renews i might be having the issue since I'm already at the limit

I'm on Effortless rom and have unlimited tether. Just flash the rom and the SD and tether fix zip. Then, follow the instructions. Go to APN and reset to default and restart your phone. After that, turn on your hotspot and go back to APN and click on the T-mobile Tether APN. Give it a few seconds and it'll automatically switch back to the T-mobile US LTE APN and you should have unlimited tether. You'll have to click on the Tether APN every time you want to tether. This method works for me.

Ding Ding Ding - winner winner chicken dinner -
THAT is exactly what the problem is and I cant understand why nobody on this website (and on these similar threads) have no clue about this, all suggesting 50 solutions, none of which work cause tmo already turned OFF their hotspot after 5g.
NONE of these suggestions are actual "hotspots", they just reroute, or mask the tethered data so it's not reported. These "fixes" do not fix the fact tmo turned off their hotspot after 5g tether.
Once ur new billing cycle starts, ALL these suggestions will work, but until then, NONE of them will work.
Fortunately for myself, I have an unlocked att N3, and I use the att hotspot (which of course does NOT talk to tmo), so I can tether to my hearts content without jumping thru all these stupid and frustrating hoops that the OP is going thru right now -
So OP, u can keep trying all this crap every month, or simply flash the ATT rom on ur N3, and then turn on the blue att hotspot, (instead of using the metered pink tmo hotspot). Then u will be truly unlimited with no tethering limits -
