Is there a hack out there to get the Hotpsot working on the Unlocked version? What about with the Verizon model?
Should be easy if you root and install a custom ROM (however that breaks OTA). This worked for me for my non-rooted unlocked. Per this thread, removing the SIM card, enabling hotspot and then plugging back in the SIM allows it to bypass authentication: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/help/mobile-hotspot-t3375254/page2

Thats a nice temporary hack but once you disable it and then try to re-enable it it will not pass authentication again. In other words you have to remove the sim card evertime you want to turn on the hotspot.
Yea... not much you can do without installing a custom ROM or root to change some of the default.xml settings.
You can do what I do... cut up the sim card tray flap from the box and carry it in your wallet. Works for me because I only need to use hotspot when I'm traveling and it's not my main source of internet at home.
I'm trying to figure this out now myself

I got the unlock code for my att note 2 it went through then it says sim not provisioned mm 2. How do I fix it so I can use it on T-Mobile
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
Sim not provisioned mm2 means that the sim card tbat is currently in the phone is not activated on any network. Get a new Sim card and activate it OR just activate the one that is in the phone.
So after doing the free unlock trick, all we have to do is pop in a working T-Mo sim for it to work? No tweaking anything or flashing radios?
If you have an ATT device, you will have to load the TMO apn's for the device to work.
Radio image should work, but you may need to try a different image based on your location.
Apn settings are critical....g

Yes it will work..all you need is the tmobile modem..which will make the correct apns are enabled properly. ..
Clean rom for example is for multi carriers and you can flash it for att or tmobile. .just for an example. ..make surebyou have a updated good modem for that carrier...clear/cache dalvik cache install modem...reboot should work just fine. Did this on my note 1 and a tmobile guy bought it off me, I had the modem installed prehand and he inserted his sim power it on and bam..worked fine

I am trying to use the AT&T Note 4 (Lollipop C2) with a European sim and although I could tether with the same sim and a Galaxy S 4, the Note 4 doesn't let me tether. When I turn on tethering, the eligibility check program pops up (I guess if I were using my AT&T card to see whether I have tethering provisioned) and then turns the WIFI tethering off. Again this is an international sim with tethering provisioned. Since there is no root yet to bypass the provision check, is there any other option I could use? Any ideas?
AT&T Tethering not working with Note 4
Symptom: AT&T Tethering not working with Note 4 and as well other programs like Wallet
Hardware: AT&T Samsung Note 4 910A
Provider: You have other than AT&T SIM inside your smart phone
Cause: AT&T software loaded on your AT&T Samsung Note 4 910A is locked off for tethering and checks AT&T for a code to unlock it. It first checks the type of sim you have and it fails on that check giving you "Mobile Data is not available or Invalid SIM" error when you try to turn on mobile hot spot. Because you don't have an AT&T provider you will always get this error. I read that AT&T charges separate for tethering as a service?
Solution: Wiping your phone does nothing and you need to root your phone an apply the patch. I have called my provider up in Canada and they informed me they will try to get the code from AT&T. It is difficult to root the AT&T version of your phone as I am reading this online unlike other versions. They put something on the phone. I also stuck on this problem like the rest of you and is in the process of finding a proper root for this version of phone and than installing TWRP thereafter to help backup my ROM before I do any changes. To root your phone you need odin, but I was reading it now doesn't work for Note 4 AT&T version? I have to investigate if this is true.
I hope that helps?
I got Verizon Note 4.
Verified that it is unlocked. Not stolen. No contract binded from Verizon store and through phone (Clean phone)
Android Version : 5.0.1
Location: Las Vegas
Insert AT&T sim card. No signal.
Change APN setting following the information on AT&T website. Still not working. No signal.
At&t store rep. said I need to l unlock the phone ( I already check with Verizon via phone and store)
Verizon rep. on phone said: I should be able to use the phone with At&t sim card
Verizon Rep. in store said : Galaxy note 4 won't work on AT&T. It needs to be rooted by an expert. Only Galaxy S5 or later version will work.
I searched websites and many say that they are using Verizon Note 4 on AT&T network (At&t sim card)
I just need to use phone and text message. No data needed.
Anybody can help me?
I was able to use SIM from AT&T before yesterday, but after trying to update the firmware using Software Upgrade Assistant tool on Windows 10, it's now stuck at 'searching for service'.
Did you change the network settings from global to lte/GSM?
I am reading this. Maybe a solution.
Did you try to insert a different carrier sim card and entering the unlock code?
---------- Post added at 09:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 PM ----------
After reading post i see you have a att sim sim on verizon phone. This could be a problem as verizon and att dont play nice. Stupid question is did you actually pay for service?

Yeah. Me either.
Did you do a factory reset after software update. Usually helps. Also mess with APN settings. Reboot after changing APN.
Problem solved.
Changing APN settings and reboot did not work. I just inserted the Verizon SIM came with the phone and made a phone call. Of course it's not activated, so I hang up when it reached Verizon automated system. Guess what, now SIM from Lycomobile works. H2O Wireless SIM also works. It means that it now can work with AT&T and T-Mobile network.

I'm in a similar boat as you (4.4.4 on Cricket Wireless, wanting to upgrade to 5.1.1). I just want to make sure I understand what you did to restore service:
1. You had phone working on AT&T with an older Android version (KK?)
2. You upgraded to a newer version via the Verizon upgrade tool (I assume 5.0.1 since 5.1.1 is not yet available via the tool)
3. You lost AT&T service after upgrade
4. You were able to restore AT&T service by using an inactive Verizon SIM and making a phone call
Is this correct? TIA

Mostly, except that I tried to upgrade from 5.0.1 to 5.1.1, but found that 5.1.1 was not yet available via the tool, but the process of installing the software on windows 10 and maybe I also used the Verizon SIM during the process which might have messed something up. I updated the firmware to 5.1.1 by downloading the zip file in a thread here and flashed it through recovery. The network connection problem was then solved by making a phone call with the SIM came with the phone.

I just updated via the Verizon tool (BPA1 finally showed up) and it was, surprisingly, perfectly fine. I first backed up as much as I can (via Smart Switch and Helium app), then pulled my mSD card, left my SIM card in the phone, and proceeded to update. After the first boot stuff (app optimization, etc.) I soon saw the AT&T sign in the notification bar, and I was able to make a phone call without doing anything else. With all the reports of SIM card locking after updating I was worried that I might run into the same issue, but was pleasantly surprised that I didn't. I had to re-enter the APN setting as the upgrade seemed to have removed it, but after re-adding Cricket's APN I was able to get cellular data as well.
Thanks again for your help
You need to access the hidden menu and change your radio and modem protocols. There's a forum on XDA called domestic and internation sim or network unlock for spring but should work the same on verizon
fyi, i got my note 4 working on gsm using 2 different freedompop sims-the at&t lte sim gets lte via band 4.
the global sim based on t-mobile did get hpsda+
just change the apn
Hey, I just need someone to point me to the right direction.
I bought my LG G2 off ebay last year, it came flashed to boost mobile. All I need to do is flash it back to sprint and unlock the GSM on the phone.
I just found this forum and don't know where to start in this process..
Im on 5.0.2
Software version LS980ZVI
Model # LS980
Thank you if you can help
this thread has everything you need
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-g2/general/ls980-lollipop-update-root-sim-unlock-t3357837
After you install TWRP successfully but before you unlock the sim card, You can install the latest version ZVI that is already rooted
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-g2/development/rom-ls980-stock-5-0-2-zvi-flashable-t3303163
for unlocking the SIM card I would use this procedure instead
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-g2/general/ls980-lollipop-update-root-sim-unlock-t3357837

Since you are on ZVI already, you could try the steps in this thread

Hey I did all the steps and got it unlocked but I cant to get my simple mobile sim card to work.
When I select the network mode global I have full bars, but when I try gsm/umts all my bars go away.
The phone is reading the sim card, but im not able to make calls/text. I Also get a authentication error when I try to update the prl/profile settings
did you do the twoclick procedure to unlock the sim card?
did you edit your apn? from the dialer, dial ##3282#
i am on freedompop so i changed my apn to freedompop.foggmobile.com. Simple mobile might require it to be mvno.att.net or something like that( i used that for airvoice).

Yep I did the two click method but on both of my sims my phone refuses to connect/ find networks. I get emergency calls only.
I used a freedompop sim too and changed my apn to freedompop.foggmobile.com. but it still wont connect to the network. When I go into the freedompop messenger app it says. I dont have any data.

that;s strange. It worked for me as soon as I added my APN. Does your phone see the APN for three.co.uk and 3hotspot when you have the freedompop SIM in there?
I don;t even use the Freedompop Messenger app. i just use the sim for data. i can test the functionality of the sim slot because I have a freedompop CDMA/Sprint sim card along with a GSM one.
there are a couple of other ways to unlock the sim slot-they're all based on the same way so don;t know if anything will be different. there is a simfree.exe and there is a thread by someone named summercat for a 1 click procedure. try one of those

yep thats the first apn I see "three.co.uk"
im gonna tot back to zv8 and try this one more time or im just gonna go with ring plus or ting.
But thanks for all the help.
And you used ##3282# to add the new apn, correct?
I would go down to zve, then do the Ota update from sprint to zvg or zvh, then do the unlock and root and sim unlock. It's worked fine for me on zvh and zvi.

Yep, I enabled the lte/cdma, rebooted, then enabled gsm, rebooted and I got it to say freedompop on the lockscreen but after a couple of min. It went back to searching for networks.
im gonna try zve to zvg with the two click method
Good luck. The way you know it is supposed to be correctly installed is that your boot animation changes for the yellow sprint spark animation to some swirly wavy rainbow. The carrier image gets swapped to a gsm version.
