I have a wonderful AT&T r800at. The bootloader is unlocker, and it's rooted. Can anyone please help me with the tethering? I have a Acer A500 tab that I want to share the internet with. I've tried various wifi tethering apps but none seem to work. I don't care if it's wifi, bluetooth, or wired tethering I just really want some advice on what I need to do.
Please help!

Have you tried Barnacle? It's worked on every Android phone I've owned.

I have tried that one actually. No luck.
Don't you need a tethering plan for AT&T? I heard they were really cracking down on the people who used it without a plan.

Barnacle needs root. If you are rooted it works great on the Play. No plan required
It's your bloated att firmware you have. They lock that feature in there firmware. I have att play and flashed to r800a generic 2.3.3. Under settings/Sony Ericsson/connectivity. You can enable option and then connect with a USB or select hotspot. You don't need a tethering plan but a data plan. Beware it goes through you limited data fast.
You don't need root or your bootloader unlocked either to use this option.

I agree with Aranium. You just need a generic rom(in other words-DEBRAND) And an unlimited internet plan(NOT tethering). I know this, because I do this myself and as of right now there is no data cap on unlimited post-paid plan even though they throttle the network. The stock AT&T Roms with all the bloatware also have a lock on the tethering/hotspot function in the Rom that asks you to dial 611 to purchase the upgrade to your plan. If you want to keep an eye on your data usage after you debrand just download 3g watchdog from the market. My opinion-its your data to do what you want with it, even if that means sending to the less fortunate & needy devices.lol
On a unroofed phone?I'm on Verizon I have unlimited data and tether my s3 all the time. My fear is with this phone with a locked boot. And no root. Will apps like foxfi work? I know this is tmobile but Verizon is not out yet anybody test this I would love to know if you can wifi tether your tmobile phone without root. Thank you in advance for testing...
I have a couple of USB versions of tethering apps (ClockworkMod Tether and PdaNet) that I tested out on this device with 100% success. And I am not on the hot spot data plan. I personally only use it for times that I really need it (rarely). But I wanted to find out if it can be done through my current plan.
But SGH-T889, T-Mobile version of Samsung Galaxy Note 2, doesn't have its bootloader locked. Only the SIM usage on the device to be used other carriers is locked. But once we paid for the device outright, completing the contract, or cancel service & pay for the cancellation fee, T-Mobile will unlock the SIM usage on your device to use with other carriers. So yes, you can root SGH-T889, T-Mobile version of Samsung Galaxy Note 2, at anytime with no problem (as long as you follow instructions). Just that when there is an OTA update or Samsung Kies flash update we need to unroot it, stock ROM it, then take the OTA update or flash with Samsung Kies. Also if we need to get it repaired we need to reset the flash numbering too.
Bootloader locked is a different thing altogether. Despite that the bootloader is/will be locked in Verizion version of Note 2 I still believe that you can at least use the USB for tethering with ClockworkMod Tether that doesn't need a rooted device.
I do believe the community will find way/s around the bootloader being locked on Verizon's Note 2. But when is really the question.

I need the wifi tether without USB as I want to teher with iPad. Can you try this on your phone for me. App is called foxfi it's free

The WiFi tethering part I can't do that with this plan I have. Only through USB. If I went to their Hot Spot plan ($5 more) then yes I can. This is due to an app that they have running "Mobile HotSpot" (T-Mobile's own app). I believe if you freeze that app then, yes you can. I would also check with other ROMs for SGH-T889 (T-Mobile) Note 2 to see if the developer taken out or freeze that app. But this is due to that app and not because it is locked or unlocked. I really can't blame T-Mobile on this one. Unlimited data and WiFi tethering would easily get out of hand and cause the network to not function. Completely different from Verizon's tier system, where you paid for certain amount of data and you should, but don't, have whatever access to that data that you pay for.
Verizon has this fail safe with tethering usage on their end of LTE network. This is why people get warnings and kicked off from Verizon Wireless. Now Verizon has the tier system and charge per device on their network that both help in curving this issue. Again this due to the fail safe that Verizon put into their LTE network.
FoxFi doesn't support Jelly Bean.

On T-Mobile, if you freeze/uninstall the app Tethering Provision, you can use the wifi-hotspot with some caveats. 1, You can't start the app directly(It will crash). You can download a wifi widget from the market that will start the app no problems. 2, T-mobile current scans Http traffic for user agents. So if you use a desktop browser you'll get your traffic blocked. There are a couple of ways around this. Https works fine because it's encrypted. You can change your User agent to any non destop browser and it works fine. I found that xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx or similar garbage works best because it doesn't cause sites to show up as mobile and T-Mobile wont block it. Or you can use Tor or anything else that will encrypt your traffic.
But seeing as you want to tether to your Ipad, It should work perfectly with no issues as of **NOW**
My foxfi works. I cant explain why. I am stock with root, and unlocked. My hotspot app comes up asking me to configure it, I simply ignore it and continue using foxfi.

Is your foxfi still working? What's your android version? Thanks.
I have the tmobile note 2, unlocked, Android 4.1.1, it can hotspot using foxfi if I am using a Straight Talk at&t sim, but not with my tmobile sim.

That make me wonder: does anyone know of a carrier that sells "prepaid" or "metered" SIM with data plan? I will remove Verizon's SIM and stick it in instead only when I need wifi hospot. It should be cheaper than paying $30/month for the service or switching to Verizon's "Share Everything" from my current unlimited.

I treid foxfi on my rooted sgh-t889 with stock OS. It appears to work (tried using other tether apps like wifi tether, turns on but didn't broadcast SSID) but to be quite honest i cant verify because i haven't enabled data on my plan yet!
Im prepaid so I'm waiting for then ext cycle before i can really be sure, but like i said and others apparently too, foxfi seems to be functional for what its worth on sgh-t889
I tried Foxfi today on my tzones plan using a AT&T Note 2 with T-mobile Service (unlocked the aws band), it seems to work fine.
Anyone use this app longterm on T-mobile and with T-zones?

If you don't have a sharing plan they will make you lose your unlimited plan if they find out they about did that to me when i had my note 2
I have a Note 3 ATT rooted with FoxFi and tethering works with the grandfathered tethering plan. . I don't use it that much, but ATT hasn't send me a letter or warning yet.
I have tried every tethering app with Note 4 ATT and Kingroot and none of them work.

Using FoxFi or PDAnet+, I get the ATT error message saying to call 611. But on ATT Note 3, you hit the Home button and the WiFi Router is started. On ATT Note 4, hitting the Home Button clears the ATT message, but the Router isn't enabled.
Using WiFi Tether Router, the app locks up during Enabling the WiFi Router and I you have to Force Quit the app.
if you guys dont mind tethering via USB, you can always do that without root using Foxifi!!!! just download it from playstore and you are good to go!!....
On my rooted Note 3, I used es file explorer to tether on my unlimited grand father plan. Might try that.

Go to menu. Select the options below. The option is greyed out in mine because I do not have root.

Thanks for the info, but I do have root and it's still greyed out and I can't create the hotspot. =(
What's up,
Has anybody figured out a way to tether LTE data through our galaxy s7 actives without having to activate it through att? I have used fox Fi on previous devices as well as custom Roms and tweaks to get this feature working so I can use my unlimited data to its potential while on longs trips with a tablet. Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers

I think sidesync is your best best. It's worked on my s7 edge, note 7 and now s7 active. It's not wireless, but it does the job.
there is a way to do it using an att apn and then once the hotspot starts up, go back to the apn and then switch back to the original.
it worked back when i had the s7 active.

**UPDATE** I have wifi tethering working via the root method as described in this method.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-active/help/samsung-galaxy-s7-active-root-t3473649
Once rooted you will have to install the Xposed framework, and activate the "X tether" module which can be found in the root thread. Once that has been activated, you will be able to use your phone as a wifi hotspot without activating the annoying ATT plan :good:
odd, as im in UK... (on three) using my Active, my mobile hotspot works with the inbuilt stuff from settings ! .. no problems whatso ever!?..
Yup I'm currently not rooted, I got into my settings, Connections Mobile Hotspot turn it on. I've never had to pay extra for it or anything it just works on my S7 Active and I use it a fair amount.

I have unlimited data but can't tether...
When you sign up for At&t unlimited data plan, they take your ability to tether. Will rooting allow me to make my phone a mobile hotspot while I'm still on an unlimited data plan? If so, could someone point me in the right direction please?
I'm wondering if anyone has a solution for activating the Hotspot on the A50 (Pie with October 1 update) on Sprint - I'm on an Unlimited Kickstarter plan, and only need hotspot 3-4 times a year for emergencies where I don't have Wi-Fi access. Shortcut Master Lite doesn't allow me to modify LTE Functionality on this phone. I can create another APN and add dun and the hotspot activates as stock, but it doesn't pass Internet data to other devices. I have the unlocked SM-A505U1 version. I like the phone, but if I don't find a workaround I'll likely give up Sprint and go to an MVNO that has hotspot functionality, as anything with it in Sprint's regular plans is crazy expensive by comparison. Thanks for any and all suggestions.
Have you tried the solutions in these threads for the Galaxy S10? I would think it would work the same way for the A50 since they run the same software.

https://www.reddit.com/r/galaxys10/comments/aywlq9/sprint_hotspot_hack_unlocked/
I'm curious if you can get it working, I'm thinking about moving my A50 over to Sprint and this would be great if it works. I was always able to get the hotspot hack working on my previous S8+ and S9+, so fingers crossed!
Keep us posted...

Yes... I tried that solution... That's where I got the walk-through for how to create the alternate APN. I started to work on it again the other night and it kicked out the SIM for reasons unknown when I tried to reactivate it with the SIM that worked before. I previously got the APN added with DUN and it accepted it but no data pass-through on the hotspot. I read on a Note 9 forum that only having default,mms,dun might help the data pass-through issue and was going to try it, but that's when the SIM glitch occured. Until I have more time I've gone back to a Moto phone with a different workaround.

Thanks for the update. So I saw you're on the Kickstart plan, which I think means your plan doesn't include hotspot at all. I wonder if I would have better luck since my plan has always included hotspot (used to be 10GB, now it's 50GB). On my past few Galaxy's, the hack would just take me from capped to unlimited, which worked nicely.
If I end up trying this, I'll let you know what happens.
