[Q] Internet passthrough / reverse tethering with P6, not rooted

Hi.
I'm looking for ways to reverse tethering with P6 non rooted. I found the link below, but I'm having difficulty in running the program. Can anyone help me, what should I put in the settings of the program? I'm also running AdBlock Plus for Android, whihc calls for local proxy 'localhost' and port 2020.

Connectify works well for me over wi-fi, as I understand, you are trying to reverse-tether over usb? port 2020 is not a problem since you will be using 8090 and 8080. You need to have an active and working adb (enable adb on your device and connect it to the pc, open cmd and run [adb devices], see if it turns up or not. If it does then it should not be a problem getting this to work according to the guide.

Lollipop tethering (working)

Thanks to datawrhsdoc for translating the OP

1. Root your phone
2. Either modify your existing APN to use IPv4 and adding 'dun' to the list of APN types, or create a duplicate APN with the same modifications
3. Set the modified/new APN as your default.
4. Download tether_counter_kill.txt from the OP's first post, and rename the file removing the txt extension (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59858654&postcount=1)
5. Install Smanager from Play Store
6. Navigate to tether_counter_kill from Smanager, and set both 'Su' and 'Boot' options. Run it (you won't need to do this again)
7. Start Mobile Hotspot on your phone, and connect to the hotspot from your devices
8. Immediately start a VPN client from your device(s) which will tether. VPN must redirect ALL traffic (e.g., TorGuard).
9. Enjoy unlimited WiFi tether

This can be fixed permanently using the following procedure (UPDATE: no root required):
Enable developer mode (Go to Settings -> About phone, and click on the build number until the developer mode is enabled).
Enable USB debugging under Settings -> Developer options
Connect the device with a USB cable to a computer with the Android SDK platform tools installed

Looks like the settings.db is on a lock-down. I can't access it via sqlite any longer. It says: "the database is currently locked by another process"
Any ideas? @autoprime ?
Quick Edit: was able to copy settings.db to sd card and open it up with sqlite. couldn't change any parameters, as sqlite would fc. Downloaded this guy (http://sqlitebrowser.org/) and made changes, then overwrote the one in data/data directory. We'll see how/if it works.

Nope, something over-writes the tethering back to "1" after each reboot. I'm sure @autoprime can figure this one out, as he did for KK.

You are right I'm on LG G2 with official T-Mo lollipop and I was able to edit settings.db...not with sglite but with SQLite Debugger.
After reboot, the changes i made to the tethering reverted back to dafault 1.

For those that want to use wireless tether, try the app from this thread (it's $2.5):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-tmobile/general/unlimited-wifi-tethering-t2914057
I'm more interested in making the usb tethering work. I'll try using IPv4 + vpn tonight. Pretty sure it's going to fail because of the tether.dun set to 1...

or those having issues with tethering. I tested it out today and had issues. It would connect but would not resolve dns. I have unlimited tethering on Three, it's always worked until now.
Doing this resolved my issues. I suspect this issue will be resolve by Three when an official uk build is released.
This can be fixed permanently using the following procedure (UPDATE: no root required):

anyone tested does this work with no tether tracking?

Uploading a tether_dun_required=0 script (needs root) that you can use with Smanager to either trigger it via a desktop widget, app, or set it on boot. Remove ".txt" from the end and navigate to it via Smanager. I will test tethering later tonight.
Make sure you click/select the SuperUser icon in Smanager's options.
You can also try adding this to your build.prop:
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true

Ohh okay. even better.. ill try it and report back. thanks
EDIT:
Strange, i cant even get an SSID to show up on the native hotspot now. I know it worked before -- i used it last Sunday. The hotspot turns itself off after like 30 seconds.

Okay.. So I did a factory reset because i didnt know how to fix my problem from my previous post.
Then I:
1) added the same APN as IPV5
2) did this:
Enable developer mode (Go to Settings -> About phone, and click on the build number until the developer mode is enabled).
Enable USB debugging under Settings -> Developer options
Connect the device with a USB cable to a computer with the Android SDK platform tools installed
Start an adb shell: adb shell
In the adb shell, run this command: settings put global tether_dun_required 0
3) used the native tether app
I haven't tested it very extensively but from what i can tell, i am able to tether and it just shows up as normal data vs mobile hotspot. I transferred bout 600mb as a test. will test more later.
Thanks for your help RussianBear!
EDIT:
I lied. i think tmobile was delayed in reflecting my usage. it showed up today.

My hot-spot was broken by LP. Devices connect fine but have no Internet whatsoever. I'm able to USB tether without issues using PDANet and just selecting level 1 hide tether usage works fine. No needs for UA switching or anything like that. Just wish the WiFi tether worked, even if it's counting.

Could anyone help with step by step instructions. I am new at this and dont want to do anything wrong. Plus i dont see the script.

Download smanager from the playstore, download the script, then using smanager navigate to the script and run it. You will need to select the su icon from the smanager's script options. Let me know if/where you get stuck.

Script Works for WIFI Tether
It appears that this method is working for WIFI tethering as well. I watched an 11 minute Youtube and then emailed myself a 5.5MB Powerpoint. Here are my results:
Before After
Mobile Hotspot 92.2 92.4
Data 462.2 527.1
Not sure where that 0.2MB came from, but that's not much of my 5GB plan, so I don't much care.
Update 1: Figured out where the 0.2MB came from. My testing used all encrypted traffic over HTTPS, and TMO couldn't track it. I then ran a CNN.com video and the Mobile Hotspot counter spiked. Still not quite there yet.
Update 2: Enabled my VPN, and no traffic at all is being tracked by TMO. No user agent required. Yipee!!

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.

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.

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?

Unlocked AT&T e980 - Lost WiFi tethering with transfer to Mint Mobile - 4G LTE works

Unlocked AT&T e980 - Lost WiFi tethering with transfer to Mint Mobile - 4G LTE works
I thought members here might know if this solution I found for phones using KitKat might be my issue. Setting up the APN for Mint is trivial and know to be correct. Why no WiFi tethering for pc? Here is what I found but I do not want to implement this w/o gaining more confidence this will work...no desire to kill the phone. Mint tells me they do not block tethering. The e980 only offers WiFi and Bluetooth tethering. I do not see an option for USB tethering unless it is located in a unique place.
This can be fixed permanently using the following procedure (UPDATE: no root required):
Enable developer mode (Go to Settings -> About phone, and click on the build number until the developer mode is enabled).
Enable USB debugging under Settings -> Developer options
Connect the device with a USB cable to a computer with the Android SDK platform tools installed
Start an adb shell: adb shell
In the adb shell, run this command: settings put global tether_dun_required 0
Any ideas?
Edit - Bluetooth tethering does not work either. I can connect a pc and the e980 via Bluetooth but enabling BT tethering on the e980 gives the same fault message.
