Mobile Hotspot on Note 2

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).

[Q] IMEI is reading 0

I bought and rooted my Galaxy S3 a few months ago. since then I have flashed several roms. When the jellybean update came along I flashed a stock rom so I could update to stock jellybean, after the update to jellybean i noticed that my phone signal kept cutting out. The meter would cycle from full bars down to no bars then back up again over and over. while this was happening I could not make or receive calls. Tuns out the problem is caused by the IMEI reading 0. I don't know when this actually happened weather before or after the update. I have been trying to figure out how to fix this, but I don't understand what little I have found on the internet. Can anyone help me?

Yes

Thanks for the link but I dont understand what they are talking about.
like: "Put phone into RMNET + DM + MODEM mode"
I have no idea what that is.
and this section: "Look in device manager under ports and serials you should see your phone there.
Now open QPST Configuration click on ports tab and then on Add new port button type in COM## where ## is the port number your phone is connected to."
Is this even english? I'm sorry but i'm a newbie and have no idea what im doing.

You are putting your phone into RMNET + DM + MODEM mode by using the Stock Dialer on a Stock ROM and entering the service code provided in the thread (*#7284#).

There are some good videos on YouTube of how to fix this and how make a back up in case it happens again. It a lot easier than it sounds.
Thanks

What's funny is my IMEI decided to implode itself after I flashed the 1/15 Cm build.. Fixed it and everything is up and running now, just never thought it would happen to me. The only thing I can think of for why this happened to me, was because I had just switched back to CWR from TWRP.. not sure if there is a connect, but seems plausible. Back to TWRP now.

Unlocking doesn't apply to CDMA phones (Sprint version of the Optimus G), it's a GSM/SIM card thing. But dont quote me on that but I think you cant

but you can flash.

I flashed mine to Page Plus, which uses verizon towers. The basic steps I took are flashing a verizon prl(so i wouldn't get a roaming symbol all the time) which you probably won't have to do since Boost uses sprint. Then I activated my phone with page plus online, they sent me an email with my number and MIN. Then I programmed the phone from it's hidden menus (I followed a guide on how to find the SPC number then typed ##SPCNUMBERHERE# and it brought me to a programming menu where i could input my MDN (phone number) and MIN (number they gave me in email). Phone rebooted and I had talk and text working. I don't have data and mms working yet though.

Data and MMS u have to configure through APN.XML .... Change the mmsc: link to what ever page plus uses ....

Just got it too! Bout to install it now
UPDATE* Well the status bar icon is different, no more spinning star for Sprint Spark. New icons and Samsung pay from I've noticed right away.

No more spinning spark icon is worth the entire update lol

Yeah no spark icon. What I find particularly hilarious though is that the Samsung pay app is installed, yet does absolutely squat.
Edit: feel I should add that this phone has never been rooted, so it's not Knox related either. Lol.

Can someone who has TRIPPED KNOX and taken this update, but is now 100% stock please go into Samsung Pay and see if it gives any sort of error message saying Knox is tripped?
Also, can someone please test the multitasking and have like 7-10 apps in memory and try switching between them? A screencast would be awesome too. Thanks!!

The restart is still there when using Chrome beta. And switching with another browser. Had dolphin browser loaded with a best buy page used chrome beta and dolphin app restarted.

I was finally able to get a taste of Carrier Aggregation. This is on OGA
I will retest on this new update.

I'm assuming it connects on it's own correct? No way for me to do it on my side. I don't get nowhere near what you are getting so I was just curious. I'm in San Antonio Tx btw

Yes, it connects on its own.
Download LTE Discovery from play store. I use the widget, and it tells me when I'm connected to TD-LTE which is band 41. Then I use the dial pad code to see if CA is enabled.

signal is alot better now along with the UI feeling buttery smooth

I haven't updated yet.... but it seems as if this update is what the GS6 SHOULD HAVE originally launched with!! :good:

Hi @JoeFCaputo113, if you do update can you let me know if the kernle/root method you have works.
Got my S6 last night already at OH1 and want root.
Thank you for your work too!

I noticed before I clicked on this thread, that signal appears to be better. Have to admit. Samsung stepped up their game with support on this phone. And updated us with features of the upcoming phones? Get out of here lol

Just switched from AT&T to Cricket

As the title states I just switched, I have run into a problem though.. I tether my phone to my computer through wifi hot spot but since I switched carriers whenever I try to hot spot now it tells me to contact AT&T to set up?? Any way to get around this?? I'm on stock4.4.2

There is a way
Dont remember how but i found it on these forums by searching
Im also on stock 4.4.2
But rooted and custom recovery
I remember i had to edit a line with sqlight editor in the system database
It was rather simple
Ill see if i can find the thread back
