Working Modified Verizon Hotspot - Verizon LG G4

Here you guys, http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/development/mod-verizon-g3-hotspotmod-g2-apk-t2852152.
I'm using it to post this. Move it into System/App/HotSpotProvision folder, and set permissions. You don't have to execute any of the commands, there's an APK to download, at the bottom of the first post.

Works great, not sure if its needed but I renamed the hotspotprovision.apk that was already in the folder. I just changed the .apk to .bak and then set the permissions to RW-R-R on the hotspotprovisionVsG3mod.apk

Yeah, you should get rid of the original one. Renamed preferred.

How exactly did you do this since we don't have root yet?

For those who can follow directions better by seeing screenshots, I updated the above thread (with credits) utilizing screenshots on how to do this for the G4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g4/general/how-to-enable-native-hotspot-unlimited-t3166435

NICE

So I took a quick look at the G3 thread. It says if you're on the share everything plan, don't use this. Is that the case with this version or are we good to go?

You should not need this unless you have unlimited data. Verizon only restricts hot spot use (tethering) on unlimited data plans.
If I am missing a benefit to other users, someone please correct me!

This is for us with unlimited data, should be pretty self explanatory.

This mod also saves those of us running a Verizon G4 on T-Mobile (or other carrier). Luckily this mod gets rid of VZW's BS. T-Mobile is a much more generous carrier than Verizon and now I can tether all of my 10GB data per month if I want to.
Thanks to OP and all of the people who worked to bring this great fix.

Is anyone else having random reliability issues with this?
Any of my devices that are tethered will periodically be able to get no data connection (no pings to 8.8.8.8 even), sometimes after 5 seconds of being connected. Sometimes after 20 minutes.
Sometimes, turning Hotspot off then On fixes it. Sometimes, I put my G4 into airplane mode and back, and it fixes it. Sometimes, I just plain reboot the phone and it fixes it.
Am I the only one experiencing it? I'm sure it's not related to this mod -- it's probably related to the original phone software. But it's quite undesirable.

[Q] Has anyone gotten tethering working? (bypass)

I'm on a grandfathered unlimited data plan, so tethering isn't included. My last rom on my Galaxy Nexus had a tethering bypass check. Anyone know of a way to get around it or am I going to have to look for some sort of root-app?
Thanks for the help. It's been a heck of a night!

Tethering is typically included by default on capped plans, that is most likely why foxfi works for you

I can't use the built-in tethering, it will charge me if I use it. FoxFi should work regardless what plan you have.
I'm also on an unlimited plan and had issues with FoxFi too - not sure why... it worked for a while - then it would not let my phone use encryption - then I would get the verizon "call 611 message" (though FoxFi would still work, I'd just get a message and have to clear it out/cancel).
If you're rooted check out the OP here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2417226 works like a charm
If you're not on root, you'll prob have to pay for the FoxFi app, but it's like 6.95 I think - way cheaper than any ISP I know of
FoxFi appears to work fine for me. Just had to accept a certificate and put a lock on my phone. Works with no errors. But I noticed some of you stated that it started going crazy after some use down the road.
I'm not sure why my stock app doesn't work when I'm on a shared data plan. Worked on my iPhone5 10 months ago with the same exact plan.

Yeah, you'd think... but I tried stock app, get the call *611. Then, I tried FoxFi (non-paid to see if it would work) and when I go to enable the hotspot it pops up an error for *611 as well. It's saying I'm not subscribed to a hotspot plan essentially. I have a 10gb plan, which was one in the lawsuit a while back when they said you shouldn't distinguish how someone uses their 10gb. They were supposed to open the market up to 3rd party tethering apps (but weren't required to support the tethering through their stock) and I never got it working on my Droid Razr either. I now have an HTC One (kept the same plan, no changes to it) and wasn't able to get FoxFi working on it either.

Haha yeah, I wouldn't hold my breath.
That being said, I just got OpenGarden working between my phone and my Kindle FIre HD, so I can say that that works, which is more useful than anything else I've tried. A lot of tether is USB based, which isn't helpful on the tablet/Kindle front. I'm shocked/happy that I found a solution that quickly. I know when I tried in the past, even with other providers, that getting a tablet or other computer based device to work was a pain. That being said, they've got a pc/mac client, so I don't doubt that that will work too. I try to avoid hauling my laptop when I travel and for the most part I can unless I know I need to offload a ton of data from memory cards, which is usually the deciding factor. I don't know...maybe I could do usb/otg bridge of some sort to copy between phone / hdd or sd/cf/xd cards to hdd? Usually I've got enough SD or other memory cards for whatever I'm doing to not need to haul the laptop though.

Working with FoxFI on a locked HTC One here. It installs a certificate to bypass their mobile wifi service. It's been a little buggy, for some reason I lost ability to access things on my AppleTV but after a quick reinstall it worked again. I've used over 50Gb this month with no problem.

That is BS. I didn't use my unlimited data in the way I do now until after they had already removed unlimited data. I have to do the same phone swap dance as everyone else. I know you mean people like me, but that is NOT the case. It is all for profit, it is because Verizon CAN do this and you are still willing to pay.
If you have a problem with me using my unlimited data the way I do so be it, but you have unlimited same as I. I just utilize it. I use over 400Gb a month, I support my home with it. I'm paying for it so I'm going to utilize it.

Yea, I absolutely meant people like you. Didn't mean to come off harsh. I understand that it's a profit thing, but that kind of usage gave Verizon the ammunition they needed kill unlimited and justify it.

I'm searching for articles where they use it as justification and I can't find any. I might not be looking hard enough. I moved to one of the most expensive places in California to live and so I really can't afford paying for internet now. So for now, I'm using unlimited data.
I hate it when people get bashed for using a service that they pay for. There is absolutely nothing wrong with using a lot of data. People should be using MORE data, not less. Information transfer is a good thing and our capacity should be continually growing as opposed to the stagnation we have now with entrenched American ISPs.
Also - has anyone been able to get root wireless tether working?
Thanks for the info everyone. This was the deciding factor for me, between a One or another device. I need tethering and I need to be able to restore backed up app data, and it looks like I can do both with the One without root.
how are you guys getting foxfi to install a certificate? it never does this for me. it just installs the app, i run it, hit start wifi and get the pop up that i need to pay for the service.
are you guys using the free foxfi or the paid version and is it the pdanet version or something else?

I had that happen when I reloaded ROM. Try clearing cache and uninstall app, next turn off any lock screen protection I.e. pattern or pin lock; just use the unsecured standard lock screen. Then reinstall app and run, it will ask to set up a secured lock screen I.e. pattern or what ever and install certificate.

Certificate prompt occurred automatically during install.
Just ignore Hotspot pop-up even though it will always appear in status bar along with FoxFi symbol.
I've had no problems and eventually upgraded to paid version. Free version time limit appeared to be getting shorter each time.

i had that happened to me also but i restarted my phone and it worked(stock as of now, til i get my phone back from sonic) i tethered my wife's iphone to get her ios 7 downloaded!!
i just rebooted and no go. i guess for some reason it just wont work for me. i deleted, reinstalled with no prompt, tried to activate, got the you must call to activate this, cleared data, restarted phone, relaunched, got the warning again. just aggravating it works for some and not others on the same phone.

Sprint - Wifi Tethering Working!

Guys, I don't know what happened but it's working on my Sprint G2. Someone help me figure out what I did. All I did just a min ago was enable it, got the error, then enabled it again. Bam, i'm connected. HOW? I played with some build.prop settings and something over in SQLite editor in com.providers.settings I think it was. The other thing, i'm stuck in 1X coverage. Maybe the entitlement check thing is trying and gives up before it gets a response, then just goes through?

Hmmm, mine gives the error once or twice, then just starts working. I'm posting tethered right now. I managed to get it onto ehrpd and speed are pretty solid. I need to get my directional antenna hooked up to my Cell Booster so I can pick up the ecsrb tower instead of the halfass tower i'm on now!
EDIT: Of course I make this post and it stops working, lol. No idea why outta nowhere it works. It almost tells me it's using some kind of http authentication and if it can't connect it goes ahead and lets you use it.
EDIT2: After a reboot it works again. WTF is with this thing!
Ive been following threads on getting tethering for sprint working and I dont understand why we just dont keep it to one thread. Also, Im not sure anyone can figure out whats going on with how you got it working if you dont post the changes and edits you made to the files in detail. It might help more if others knew exactly what you did.

Can you post the lines you changed and the detail steps on what you do? What files did you modify in the android filesystem? I am sure this can be done easily but we need more description. The more information you can tell us how to replicate your situation, the better it is that we all can try this solution out and hammer out the kinks so that we get a working wifi tether for Sprint version.

Maybe it's checking with Sprint before tethering. I dunno anything about this stuff. Just speculating.

Verizon threw in a silent update last night. All of us unlimited data users got screwed. If you look at the reviews for the app, everyone from our carrier is having the same problem.

1.53 enabling carrier tethering checks?

I have an Unlocked HTC 10 on AT&T unlimited without the mobile hotspot plan. Previously on 1.30, I was able to activate the mobile hotspot, and I believe the same was true for the 1.27(?) that the phone came with. Now, however, after updating to 1.53 using the image that Captain_Throwback posted, I get a prompt to contact AT&T to activate mobile hotspot on this device when I try to tether. Did HTC retroactively add checks?

Thanks, looking at that file I see the value for the Tethering check was 9 on my device, no idea what it originally was. Setting it to 0 and rebooting disabled the check

There should be a rule to set to zero and also turn support tether guard to false.

For poops and laughs set entitlement_check=0
This is an ATT specific setting.

Do you mean false? It's set to true right now.
On AT&T, had no issues tethering today after running the update. Do you have an older plan?

Grandfathered unlimited, and I don't pay for the tethering add-on. It's idiotic they expect me to pay $20 to have the right to do what I want with my data.

Unlock your boot loader if you haven't already and flash Leedroid rom. I'm on att grandfather unlimited too and now able to Wi-Fi tether as the check is removed from the rom.

Yes. I was thinking it's an integer and not boolean.
If the entitlement_check change (as well as other changes mentioned) doesn't appear to work you may need to edit it at a db level.
If this we're a branded ROM i'd say swap wifirouter.apk out but it's generic so that should be ok.
I haven't had to do this in a while. AT&T used to use 2 different IP gateways for normal data and tethering. I'll dig into when I get time but it used to be if you re-routed the tethering traffic to the data IP it would bypass tethering requirements. Also they specifically look for Internet Explorer UA string as a flag that you're tethering a PC. you could try with safari or mozilla to see if they detect you once you're testing.

Have they fixed VoLTE for ATT on LeeDroid?
Now that we know why it does/doesn't work on some handsets (and we can fix it). It would seem to be a deal breaker for an ATT user to lose VoLTE.

Not that I'm aware of. Leedroid is based off of UK roms therefore doesn't natively support it. From my understanding, volte provides HD voice should both sending and receiving phones as well as network supports it. Since it's still a relatively new technology, not everyone has the capability to utilize it. So its not a big deal for the time being.

Even though it's UK based they could put the provisioning xmls and .prop in there to make it work.
As for HDvoice and VoLTE that's a misconception. I've been testing calls to everyone, even my Google Voice on LTE. So far they all go through as VoLTE. The reason is cross carrier compatibility takes it outside the base network level.

Gotcha. I just might ask Lee if he can implement it in the next release. Either way, not a big deal right now as far as I'm concerned. I'm just happy to be able to have a modern phone that I can bootloader unlock, root and rom on AT&T after I made the mistake of signing a two year agreement for the galaxy s6 with the futile hopes of having bootloader unlock. [emoji31] I resurrected my M8 and continued to use it until now.

I had it enabled on my M7 euro sense7 .401. ROM by editing the XMLs and build.prop. I didn't have the proper SIM in my handset to actually provision but the phone tried real hard to make VoLTE calls.
It's something that should be added for the broadest userbase.
There was another thread like this and the solution was a bit more simple... Simply pop the sim card out, turn on mobile hot-spot. It will show as on. Then pop the sim card in. Once this is done the first time, no need to remove the sim the next time you need it.

Set the following (HTC 10, rooted, s-on, 1.53.617.5):
tethering_guard_support=false (default: true)
TetheringGuard_Rule=0 (default: 9)
Saved & rebooted. WiFi, USB and Bluetooth tethering now enable without the AT&T carrier message. Successfully tested USB and WiFi connectivity.

Did you add these lines to the build.prop? I don't see them in there. Could you please elaborate?
Thanks
