[Q] AT&T Tethering

I've been trying to tether (with the H810), but whenever I do I get the following error:
Authentication was unsuccessful.
There is a temporary network problem that prevents the enablement of the USB tethering function. Please retry later.
I've tried PDAnet and foxfi as well as easytether, none of them work.

I don't have an H810, but I'm on Cricket (using AT&T's network) and I just tethered my PC (I moved to Jersey for a 3 month IT contract) no problems...but not via USB. Just WiFi Hot Spot.

ugh stupid locked down carrier phones. I guess I might return my phone and grab the H815 instead.

Don't return your phone.

I got an unlocked unbranded H815 on release day here in the UK.
It's now rooted but as soon as I try to connect another device to it, web access gets blocked by the ISP.
I use the G4's Wi-Fi hotspot, not USB. My other phones, Samsung and HTC, rooted but running custom ROMs had the same problem new out of the box but worked fine once rooted, and running custom ROMs.
Does anyone know if G4's hotspot problem can be solved with a new ROM?
FYI, the mhl / HDMI connection to a monitor doesn't work either.
The mhl dongle used to connect to the monitor works fine with HTC's micro-USB.
I assume the G4 is also 5-pin (as opposed to Samsung's 11-pin).
Any ideas?

No problems with WiFi tethering on my AT&T variant.

Off topic but the G4 is not MHL, it's Slimport. Just tried my Slimport adaptor that I had from my G2 and it works just fine.

Regarding tethering we have to differentiate between "legal" tethering on a plan that allows it (which only the carrier phones will do as they have to connect to the server to authenticate you) and tethering not using a carier phone and/or accessing the full pool of your plan's mobile data, for which the carrier may check the browser ID string and take you to an upsell page. Tethering apps can alter the string but will usually require root to work well or you can go through a VPN.

My reply to diamond12
Thank you diamond12.
I'll order a Slimport dongle today.
Your rapid response saved me wasting more time on the HDMI problem.
Re: going off-topic, I use the hotspot of phone to connect a Tab-S 8.4 to the web, and via dongles, to a large HD monitor or TV. It therefore felt more efficient to collate the two, related issues, in one thread.
On data usage, yes you are right. The ISP doesn't allow tethering unless they can sell me yet more data packages.
I already have two separate data packages for the same line, one of which is unlimited, so I'm not being unfair to them.
The question was why when rooted HTC & Samsung devices can by-pass the ISP lock screen, the G4 gets blocked?
It's unbranded, bootloader unlocked, rooted four times and tested.
Maybe one of our bright contributors here can shine a light here?

Thank you for your response HaVoK.
You are lucky. Mine is an H815.
Wonder if other owners in Europe have the same issue with tethering getting blocked.

Try FoxFi?

FoxFi and similar won't work where web access is locked down by the ISP. I've tried.
My other devices connect fine, as I've explained above.
Thank you for your suggestion anyway.

Tethering works fine on cricket (att) with 815 here.

Yep, and I didn't have to use another program, just built in LG HotSpot function.

Yes the G4 is fine. You are lucky.
Root access alone didn't help. The issue here is the ISP lock.
I expect a de-odexed ROM will bypass that.

Yea, I returned my 810 for a 815. I'm on cricket, 815 works perfectly fine, the 810 doesn't work.

I got the AT&T 810 and the stock wifi tether works for me. I did follow the steps in this article though. Perhaps you can give it a try too?
https://pmf.silvrback.com/fixing-tethering-on-android-kitkat

just an FYI here are the correct instructions to get it to work on an AT&T H810:
1. Enable developer mode (Go to Settings -> About phone, and click on the build number until the developer mode is enabled).
2. Enable USB debugging under Settings -> Developer options
3. Connect the device with a USB cable to a computer with the Android SDK platform tools installed
4. Start an adb shell: adb shell
5. In the adb shell, run these commands one by one:
settings put global tether_dun_required 0
settings put system tether_entitlement_check_state 0
reboot

I assume this would work for a rooted H815 on T-Mobile?

i had no idea the H815, unlocked version still didnt allow you to do hotspots. give it a whirl. all those do is disable the network tethering checks. if tmobile checks tethering based on other things, then i cant say that it will work

again, people that are asking if this works on your specific device, why dont you just try it? you dont need root. it takes all but 2min, and you can reverse it. just flip the flags back to 1, instead of 0

How to disable carrier-check for native WiFi Tether (no root)

*EDIT* This appears to only be working for people with NON-unlimited data plans. I apologize for the inconvenience...
Saw this over in the AT&T subforum, originally posted by @ExTREmE99 , just reposting here.
This will disable the carrier check on your Verizon G4 and allow you to use the native WiFi tether - no root needed!
1. Enable developer mode (Go to Settings -> About phone, and click on the build number until the developer mode is enabled).
2. Enable USB debugging under Settings -> Developer options
3. Connect the device with a USB cable to a computer with the Android SDK platform tools installed
4. Start an adb shell: adb shell
5. In the adb shell, run these commands one by one:
settings put global tether_dun_required 0
settings put system tether_entitlement_check_state 0
reboot
When your phone comes back up you will have a fully functional native WiFi tether

Worked for me, thanks! Needed this a few days ago and couldn't use it n was like "F***, wish I had root" hahaha. Oh and also shouldn't this be posted in General?

you should see a string of characters listing your device. if it shows no device, then you need to double check that you have your device drivers installed

don't use the hotspot app - in fact, disable that one.
You want to use the built in functionality to tether (not technically an app)
Go to settings, More (under wireless networks), then "Mobile Hotspot". You can setup your SSID and password in there. Also, you can create a shortcut in your notification bar by scrolling over to the right side, clicking edit, then checking the box next to "Mobile Hotspot"
Hope that helps.

Could you try disabling the verizon hotspot app? Mine was disabled way before I discovered this so I may need to add this step to the instructions. you may want to go through the steps one more time after that to ensure everything is set correctly. Don't forget to restart either. It works great on mine so it should for yours as well - unless you took the update a week ago?
Let me know - Thanks!

hmmm i think I'm confused. My Hotspot app is apparently still in my app drawer. When i click on it it just takes me to the native hotspot functionality.
Honestly I'd attempt to run those commands again. It would help if you took a screen shot of the command prompt window after running all of the commands. After each command it should pause for a second or two then jump to the next line with no errors or responses.
Is your USB debugging on? Also, are you in MTP or PTP USB mode when plugged into your PC?

FoxFi seems to work, I just HATE having to change my lock screen in order to use the damn thing!

I have NOT taken any over the air update. I used the Debloater tool and blocked/hid the app.

Here's a screenshot of my terminal window:
I'm using the native tethering just like everybody else (Settings, More, flick the tethering switch to On and receive the service check). Haven't taken the OTA and have the service disabled via debloater tool. I appreciate the help!

At this point I'm not sure why some are reporting that this works while others aren't. I added a message on the original post warning that this isn't a for sure thing. I'll be sure to update if/when I find a fix or what is going wrong, but for now I think I have enough info to look into this. thanks for your help everyone and I hope that I can find a fix for this. Worst case - we have to wait until we have root to enable this.

Rooted pixel 2XL. unblocked wifi tether / hotspot no internet connection.

I have successfully rooted my xl with Magisk, and unlocked the wifi tether however, The connection seems to be somewhat superficial as the connected device doesn't have any INTERNET connection. I have tried connecting both a laptop and another phone to no avail.
I have tried 2 different methods of unlocking the tether:
Adding "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true" to the prop build
Installing Magisk tether mod
Both methods worked equally as half-assed.
Foxfi and all those apps don't work, I have to activate the handset hotspot in order for them to work, but even then it only broadcasts the built-in ssid.
I have scoured the Internet for some clues, but I cannot find anything that relates to my issue recently or my phone specifically. Any help would be greatly appreciated as i have a Joying stereo that is nearly useless without wifi and i dont want to have to return my phone and go back to my m9.
Pixel 2XL
Rooted
buildPD1.170816.025

I have a strange issue after i rooted my xl 2. I could no longer tether to my Nexus 7 2013 but other devices were fine. Don't recall it happening while on 8.1 DP1 or 8.0 prior to Nov update. So i'm back to stock for now and will reroot for this month's update to see if there's any change.

I just did this same thing to the "T." It works.
Download the magisk module through magisk downloads tab and then hook up your phone. Launch a power shell or cmd window from your ADB and fastboot folder.
Type "adb shell"
Hit "enter"
Type "settings put global tether_dun_required 0"
type "reboot"
Hit "enter"
Should it be letting me share wifi connection too though? It lets me share a functioning data connection, but when I hook my pixel up to wifi, turn on the hot spot, connect a device to the pixels hotspot connection, and try getting on the the internet with the second device I don't have internet on it. The second device will show a wifi connection in the status bar. I'm not really worried about it because I think any time I use hotspot it's with a data connection, but I thought I should be able to share a wifi connection too.

Have you been able to do this before? Every device I've ever had will turn off my WiFi as soon as I turn on hotspot. I haven't used it on the pixel 2 yet, but I'm looking a mod that will work on TMobile

It does turn off wifi. From my understanding it IS like that on every device that makes a hot spot. They only want you sharing a data connection. You can share wifi. Say you worked at a place that didn't want anything on their wifi except company devices. If you could share a wifi connection this would allow potentially malicious devices onto the network. That's why I think you can only share data. I think this is standard. If I'm wrong or if there is a work around to be able to share wifi hopefully someone will chime in and correct me.

Unable to edit Sprint APN settings on Galaxy S9

Back on the S8 I was able to add "dun" to the end of the apn data profile for tethering but they are grayed out on the S9. I tried shortcut master and while I can get to it I just can't edit it. Anyone know of a way to do so? I'd like to have unlimited tethering and also if there's a way to turn off the throttling that would be great as well.

Nothing yet. As far as I know, you could flash the U firmware and that would allow it. I have been looking through some adb commands as well, trying to see if we could do it that way.

I went to add one and was finally able to select that one I added and I made sure to put the "dun" at the end and so far so good

How are you trying to edit the value? I was able to change it on my Sprint S9+ using Shortcut Master Lite.
There's a thread in the 9+ forum where one person said he had to try several times (using SML) before it actually worked.

I actually have it working now, using a modified version of the ABD command.
Gonna let it sit for a bit, it it keeps working, I'll post it.

Copying from my post in the other thread about this.
Serfrost said:
I have tried every random HiddenMenu shortcut, I have tried ADB CMD and trying to rewrite the APN by hand, I have tried going into the settings and going through Mobile Networks, I have tried mounting /system in the recovery menu, I looked into changing the CSC because it's linked to APN locking... I've literally tried it all.
PDANet+, FoxFi, EasyTether, ClockworkMod Tether ... none of them would work. They would automatically be stuck at 2mbps instead of my normal 30 to 40. Hiding tether/hotspot this way was NOT an option at all.
Specifically on my Sprint S9 and another S9+, I had to do it in this order:
1) Open the Shortcut Master Lite and open LTEFunctionalityTest
2) Open LTE APN Setting
3) Open an APN you want to change.
3) If it's greyed out, close everything and then restart from #1.
4) Edit APN Type, add ",dun" to the end.
5) When done editing, save, and you should be good to go.
If that doesn't work even after trying repeatedly (make sure Shortcut Master Lite is completely closed, etc) ... then you can try the following which allowed me to edit the APN on a sister Sprint S9+ phone:
1) Dialer App, ##3282# (DATA)
2) Edit
3) Sprint MSL for mine is 000000
4) APN Settings
5a) "APN" and "APN protocol" should be editable. Make a minor change, save your APN.
5b) Then change them back, save the APN again. Do this for each APN you want full access to.
6) Open the Shortcut Master Lite and open LTEFunctionalityTest
7) Open LTE APN Setting
8) If it's greyed out, close everything and then restart from #6.
9) Edit APN Type, add ",dun" to the end.
10) After you finish editing, save, and you should be good to go.
Note: You might want to do this for both APNs as one is for LTE & one is for Roaming.

7) Open LTE APN Setting
8) If it's greyed out, close everything and then restart from #6.
9) Edit APN Type, add ",dun" to the end.
10) After you finish editing, save, and you should be good to go.
That worked for me...to a T!
Thanks!

Using this method, APN is not editable for me. But the Shortcut Master Lite method worked fine. Maybe this would work if I hadn't already changed it via SML?

Trying to get hotspot bypass working... PDAnet works, but is spotty. I have edited my APN's successfully (I had to rename before I could edit). As well as added the ADB commands. I sort of have hotspot working...
When I disable M.data and enable hotspot AND am connected to WiFi, it enables and allows me to re-enable M.data. Hotpot will continue to work indefinately.... until I leave the WiFi connection. Then the Sprint M.data connects and tells me i am not subscribed to Hotspot service. If I am not in a WiFi area when I re-enable M.data, then it instantly goes to the hotspot subscription error.
EDIT: I just reconnected my phone to check settings in adb. The settings were reset to defaults:
tether_dun_required is '1'
tether_dun_apm is 'null'

If you turn on tethering while connected to wifi, you're not really tethering. You're just sharing the WiFi connection.

I could not share the WiFi connection before I added dun to the APNs.
The real problem appears to be that the ADB settings edits are being reset somehow.

not working with Android 9 (PIE) update

Has any been able to figure out how to open the com.test.LTEfunctionality on Android Pie
I was able to edit the apn before using Quick Shortcut maker but now the com.test.LTEfunctionality cannot be opened.

Any update?

has anybody informed the developer of the app that it needs to be updated for PIE?

Apn settings greyed out
Turn off mobile network and connect to a wifi network(i used my printer wifi network which doesnt internet . I dont know if u can use any wifi or not) i restarted my phone a used mastershortcut and apn is editable again

Looking to bypass t-mobile hotspot throttling

My device is an HD1907 T-mobile variant, running global firmware with magisk root and bluspark kernel on OxygenOS. Tethering is my only way of getting my laptop connected while at work, and on my old razer phone I got around this issue with settings put global tether_dun_required 0 in ADB. This doesn't seem to work on the OP7T, Even after setting the TTL on my laptop to 65.
I tried the command adb settings put global tether_dun_apn tethering,fast.t-mobile.com,,,,,,,,,310,260,,dun as described in another post, and now my hotspot isn't working (nbd, I'll just keep using PDAnet for now.)
Does anybody have more information on how this all works in android 10 and how we could get around T-mobile's artificially imposed, unusable tethering speeds? PDAnet works good for me however some of the linux apps I use don't work behind a proxy and I'd like to use the built in hotspot.
Also, could somebody ADB to their phone and enter: settings get global tether_dun_apn and give me the output so I can set mine back to default? (should've done it first myself, I know.) Any help or information is appreciated, thank you.

Bump. Same

Same.

attached the result from my device.
my device is OP7T, GLOBAL, not locked for tethering.

Download the magisk modules from page 7, VPN Hotspot and TTL Master from links in the thread follow latest instructions (just posted an update today) Should work on any rooted device, android 9/10. There's a non rooted version as well... Try these lemme know in my thread if it works for the 7t.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7t/how-to/easy-tether-fix-magisk-mod-t4075639 theres the fix i put it up working great

Found a new method that's working for me. You need to add these apn settings and use ttl editor to set ttl to 65. I'm getting 30mb down over usb tethering:
I'm using a different phone now but it should work fine as long as you can set these apn settings in OOS.

I think the key is to make sure the domain is tmobile.com, without the hyphen. The subdomain "fast" works with DUN on my OP7T. I also set APN protocol to IPv4, but this does not appear to have been necessary. This results in full up/down of 130/33 on my best test.

Just something to try for fun, with Verizon I kill ipv6 via teminal (# sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1) before enabling the hotspot and set it back to =0 once my device has connected to the hotspot and this results in uncapped speeds, no idea if applicable here but thought I'd share.
Ttl=65 obviously a must on device wanting to connect to hotspot. Good luck!

It appears that eventually the OS (I am on OP11 Beta 4) will eventually complain that dun is not allowed, however initially, omitting the hyphen appears to be a good workaround. Using 'pcweb' in the APN type field still works though, and this appears to be enough. I have not had to change ttl on the one client device I've tried it with. That said I have not tried long-term testing.

I just switched from a OnePlus 6T to an iPhone 12 mini today. I have been using this solution by Sporos up until now to bypass mobile hotspot usage through T-Mobile. Does anyone know if this same method can be used to accomplish on an iPhone? iPhones have APN settings too, but the fill-in spots are not as in depth. If no one is familiar, do you at least know which fill-in spots are the ones making the workaround happen?
