Upgrading to 7.1.1. kills your ability to use the old Network Signal Refresh trick to quickly enable your hotspot. The fix for this is now to just pop out your simcard, and when you stuff it back in, immediately activate your hotspot in settings. What I'm doing is just keeping the simcard "key" inbetween my phone and my case, so when I need to activate my hotspot it's a quick pop out pop in throw the switch. 5 seconds max from start to finish and I'm up and running.
I upgraded to 7.1.1. right away w/ out even looking at the forums and learned the hard way that they killed off the non-root method of tethering (Network Signal Refresh)
I believe they also killed of the airplane mode to tether trick as well as I had that down and now it isn't working for me at all.
Pop out the sim, shove it back in, flip the tether switch and your in business.
You may now hit the "Thanks" button lol :angel:
This trick isn't working for me...I'm able to turn on hotspot once I put the SIM card back in but as soon as LTE is about to pop up, it shuts off my hotspot. Sigh...had I only known, I wouldn't have updated..
You are a lifesaver!

It's a timing issue. I had trouble the first few tries too but I can confirm that it worked. Pop in Sim first and immediately activate hotspot.
Thread scrubbed clean.
This thread isn't about the definition of "unlimited data", this thread is intended to be a guide to fix an issue. If you dont find it useful just dont post? Remember to stay respectful to everyone on this site.

Reboot your phone and try again. Pretty much w/ in less than half a second of snapping the SIM card back into place I hit the tether button and it turns on and stays on.
I can confirm this works. Hotspot has been running since yesterday.
Anyone find a software fix for this yet? Glad we have a solution, but would love to not have to pop my sim out all the time!

if rooted just do the build.prop edit
Work around
Go to the pdanet icon (bottom right) with your phone tethered to your computer,
left click on the icon and choose "Wifi Share (Beta)
another authentication (activation) window appears and will ask for a Wifi name and password
activate and your wifi network should be activated and accessible.
Hope this works for others.
I am using a Google Pixel (32gb) phone and laptop.

The last update killed the network refresh workaround, does the newest update kill the SIM card trick? Scared to update.

The kernel now had dm-verity that will revert any changes to /system that you make. Rooting disables dm-verity and allows modifications to /system to "stick."
I just got my Pixel. It's running 7.1.1 NMF26U.
Like many others, I want to bypass the check and get tethering hotsopt to work but I am afraid to do anything that might cause Android Pay to stop working.
I have been trying to get the SIM pop method to work without success. It does enable Hotspot and stay enabled. I can get computers to connect to the SSID. They do get a 192.168.43.x IP address. They can ping the 192.168.43.1 hotspot GW IP. However they cannot ping anything on the Internet nor do DNS lookups. No throughput to the Internet at all. The phone shows Hotspot running and it shows I have LTE signal. The Pixel itself has working Internet via LTE while Hotspot is on. I've also rebooted the Pixel and tried several more times with the same results.
Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong?
Are there any ways to edit build.prop that does not involve doing something that would kill Android Pay?
Thanks.

Are you running a VPN for adblocking without root? If so, turn it off while tethering. Just a guess.

I don't know if the latest root method for OTA 1.47.651.1 (---==={ROOT GUIDE}===--- | 1.47.651.1 ROOT method | has been tested for Wireless Tethering. I would imagine that it doesn't make a difference... root is root, and there isn't much of anything changing on the phone AFAIK...
I've searched the forums and can't seem to find an answer.... probably because this is so new...
When WiFi is off I try wireless tethering and get an error message: Unable to start tethering, please try again. I turn on WiFi and start wireless tethering I get the same error message and WiFi turns off. I've tried this with all of the various connection types: Charge Only, HTC Sync, Disk Drive, and Internet sharing. When I try to select internet sharing, I get the following message: "Error Code 67. Registrationg failure. Your PCS Vision username and/or password may be incorrect. Please try again."
I found This How-To-Guide, which references Toast's method...but I'm curious if there's a difference between that method and the one listed above for the latest OTA.
Thanks.
[EDIT]P.S. I can confirm that WiFi does work. I can connect to local WiFi networks when they are available.

Hi.. looks like you are trying to use the buid in stock (Sprint Hotspot) tethering app.. if this is the case it will not work.. you need to root your phone and once you load a rooted ROM (ex. Fresh 0.5.3 or any other one) use the wifi tether app already included in those ROMs.. sometimes you need to reinstall the wifi app . in that case uninstall the wifi tether app and go to this address on your phone and download the latest app for the Evo. http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
hope this helps...
P.S. I attached the app from the address above to the post.. good luck
Ignore jade. He is shilling for fresh. Download the "Wireless Tether" app from the market. That will work.

I figured as much. I am not using the Sprint app. I've tried the first app listed in the android market, as well as one straight from Google that's 2.0.2. It's supposed to work for the Evo... I have the same problem with both apps.

Not going to ignore you.... not completely. I just want tethering to work so I can test it and see if it's going to work for me. Then i'll mess with other ROMs. The stock Sprint one has too much crap in it... I hate nascar...
Pezu23
I do not know if this matters but are you using a rooted ROM ? I ask because the first time I ran thw wifi tether app it ask for super user access.. maybe you need a rooted ROM flashed on the phone before this app can work.. I have no reference point since I used the toast method to root my phone..
If you can follow toast method of rooting and unlocking the NAND.. you will still have a sprint base (rooted) ROM but this time you can delete the "Nascar app" and anything else you want..
The one in market is not the best one 2.05 pre 2 I think is the best it does infrastructure mode allowing almost any device to connect

I have the same problem. I am on stock rooted with rooted OTA's...
I did get it working with Fresh, but I was having other problems with Fresh 0.5.3 like the camera would sporadically go out. I guess I may have to reload fresh (which I really liked, by the way)
I rooted using the link in your first post then installed the newest DC rom and now the newest baked rom. Neither allows me to wifi tether (though no errors) as I dont see a network being created. Any ideas? Did I root wrong or screw up my radios?
Thanks!
cool.. ill try that..
Maybe I'm confused...
When I run adb shell I can gain root access. However, it appears as though HTC Sense (or any other launcher) is not running as root..or at least the programs launched within Sense (i.e. astro file manager, wireless tether) are NOT running as root. I can only create dirs in /sdcard with Astro File Manager...Guess I gotta figure out how to wipe and restart.
Not to complicate your current line of thought, but I don't think normal file managers can create new files in system. only programs that request su will pop up in the su app. But the wireless tether should.
I am running basically stock with the tether and it works. But there is something to be said about trying to start over
Did you guys also loose 4g signal..And i hardly have any 3g bars to tether with...Before rooting after OTA everything worked perfect....Is 3g and 4g giving yall issues?
I've had a few apps tell me that I'm not rooted and my wifi tether no longer works (laptop doesnt even see the network. Tried changing and using another tehtering app and it saw it but only gave me limited connection. No internet.) but when I put SU into terminal emulator it returns #.Can someone please tell me how to check to make sure my root is still fully entact and functioning.
Try opening the superuser app.
Thanks for the fast response man. I really appreciate it.
I did and it didnt do anything so I cleared the permissions for it aaaaaaand think i made it worse. in super user I scrolled down to the wifi tether app and clicked it and hit the trash icon withouth thinking it through. IS there a way to manually add allowed apps. I also noticed SU never prompts me to allow apps anymore. Really holding up my ingress progress. lol

Just run any app that needs root and it will prompt you again. You cake also download root checker from play store.

Just re-root.
Then reflash your favorite ROM.
How did you root in the first place?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Is it really that simple? Won't there be some issues because I have a somewhat partial root already? I honestly don't rememeber my original method. I did it back in september and havent messed with it since. I never even ran any roms I'm still bone stock. Is there a method you would suggest? or possibly a link to it?
Yes, it really is that simple.
If root still isn't working, follow instructions in my signature. The su zip is also going to wipe out any previous superuser/supersu that is present on your phone.
Alternatively, if you already have CWM on your phone, you can use this http://db.tt/okfh9vzU to update it without tripping your counter.
Thanks to your guys' help I was able to reroot using the tool kit. Now my issue is that I did this to fix my wifi tethering issue and its not. What app would you guys suggest for tethering? I dont have it on a part of myplan but I know theres ways around it. Wifi tether and barnacle didnt work (wasnt seen by laptop or other s3) and fox fi was identified, let me connect but said it was limited, then eventually went to fully connected but still wouldnt load pages or anything. If I can get one of you guys to help me solve this by suggesting an app or something I'll get out of your hair.
Do I need to load a custom rom to tether maybe? Thanks again guys.

Enable "send netd max client cmd"
Hi All.
I am rooted and running BoneStock. I have tried to use "Wifi Tether for Root Users" and the TrevE Mod Version, as well. I used instructions for JB that I saw in many places, one of which is here: http://highonandroid.com/android-ap...android-smartphone-or-tablet-universal-guide/. I have also tried several configuration variations on my own. I have never been able to see my SSID from other devices and, often, the phone ends up in a state where neither wifi or mobile data will connect until I reboot.
I was trying to avoid paying for Foxfi, if I can.
Has anyone else had success?
- Rob
I've still had no luck. Anyone else?
Thanks for using my ROM! Hope you are enjoying it!!
Does the stock Verizon hotspot work?
or do you have unlimited data? and can't test
I have unlimited data.
I have unlimited data, root, unlock, and Bonestock and the wife-tether trevE mod works great.
I looked at the page you listed and have different settings. Try the default settings with the following modifications:
generic (wlan0)
enable wi-fi encryption
wi-fi driver reload 1 enabled
wi-fi driver reload 2 disabled
MSS clamping enable
routing fix enable

Thank you guys for this, I will link to this thread in the FAQ.

Thanks, this worked like a charm!
If anyone followed the directions straight from the site and is having trouble with SSID not being broadcast, just change the Setup-Method to "Auto" and turn off "Send Netd Max Client Cmd" and your access point will be visible.
What is the difference between standard wifi tether and that mod'd version. Does the standard one not work?

Hi, I am no techie! I rooted my HTC One M7 (Verizon) and have a stock Rom. I tried various tethering apps, unsuccessfully. This is what worked form me in the end although without encryption.
Treve-mod tethering app version 3 (unable to post the link
Device profile: Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)
Setup method: WEXT (ad-hoc)
Routing fix: checked (enabled)
This is working well and all of my devices are able to see and connect to the network! Even when I enable encryption, it is not working.
Hope this helps.
Hi guys I really need some help here. Last night I set out to simply find a way to tether wifi from my GS3 for free. From my understanding that required me to root + download tether app with root admin rights. Apparently it appears to be more in depth than that unless I’m missing something simple. I’ll just start by giving you my specs and tell you what I’ve done so far. Sorry for the long post.
Sprint
Galaxy S3
SPH-L710
JellyBean 4.3
Hardware L710.14
Stock kernel and rom
Followed the steps in this link to root it. It pretty much walks me through using Odin to root the phone. Looks like it also installs SuperSU for superuser access. I like the fact that it’s not too invasive, which is great because I simply want wifi tethering and am not looking for a custom kernel or rom. http://honai-android.blogspot.com/20...-sph-l710.html
Supersu
When I start the phone it says “Unfortunately SuperSU has stopped”
Downloaded the apk, ran it, launched ok, asked me to disable knox and said yes, rebooted phone, got same msg that supersu stopped, runs fine after install apk but fails after every reboot. Maybe knox is screwing with it?
No supersu update on the play store
Regardless I installed root checker and says the device has root access…
I downloaded a bunch of tethering apps I thought had root access but none actually enabled tethering.
Foxfi
When I use CDMA only (used this for troubleshooting purposes) Launch Foxfi, activate wifi hotspot, “unable to connect to data network, turning off hotspot. Your plan may not have hotspot service”’
When I use LTE/CDMA the popup message is you are not subscribed to the Hotspot service. Do you want to see subscription options?”
When I cancel out of that popup it says FoxFI hotspot ready and has the wifi icon on the notification bar but can’t find the wifi network on devices
Also it never requests superuser
1 click wifi tethering free
Launch, click enable, the notification bar says hotspot connected but then I get the same error “unable to connect to data network, turning off hotspot. Your plan may not have hotspot service”, still can’t see the network on other devices
When I use LTE/CDMA the popup message is you are not subscribed to the Hotspot service. Do you want to see subscription options?”
Also it never requests superuser
Wifi Tether TrevE Mod v3.3
Launch, opens fine, asks for superuser access, click button to enable tethering, get an error in the app that says “tethering started with errors! Please check ‘show log’”
Clicking show log gives me an error of “Unable to open log file. File does not exist.”
It still shows a message “Tethering is currently running…” under the “ongoing apps” section but still can’t find wifi network on other devices
Jtether
Launch, “says turning Wifi AP on” requests superuser access, eventually gets to the same message that says “unable to connect to data network, turning off hotspot. Your plan may not have hotspot service”
When I use LTE/CDMA the popup message is you are not subscribed to the Hotspot service. Do you want to see subscription options?”
Oddly when I launch Jtether with FoxFI on I can see the FoxFI network for literally 1 second, but not long enough to connect. This only happens when I use CDMA only. When I use LTE/CDMA it never shows up at all.
.
I’ve uncovered a lot of issues but I don’t know where to start troubleshooting. Do I start with SuperSU errors or can they be omitted? Do I start with FoxFI error troubleshooting? Maybe start with finding out why TrevE’s tether mod has errors but log file can’t be found? Maybe the root method I used wasn’t ‘deep’ enough? If so what method should I use? I thought this would be way easier but hours and hours later, here I am with no wifi tethering. I hope you guys can help.
Thnx in advance!

Thanks for the quick reply! What exactly is this file? Is it a new kernel? Or does it simply edit the configurations relating to tethering? Also can I go back to 100% stock after flashing it?
Also will this prevent me from being able to update the OS via Samsung push updates?

It is not new firmware. It's just a modified services.jar file. Since it's a hack, you will not be 100% stock after installing it. (You can get back to it by restoring the stock files (.jar and .odex files).

It is not new firmware. It's just a modified services.jar file. Since it's a hack, you will not be 100% stock after installing it. (You can get back to it by restoring the stock files (.jar and .odex files).

Awesome. Ok I installed CWM and I'm about to download the MK3 Odex file. Shouldn't be too hard to figure out how to "flash" it within the app. Wish me luck!

Worked like a CHARM! Thanks so much for the help! You have no idea
I just purchased a new Sprint Note 4 and have not powered up the device yet. It is new and still in the box.
I believe that the Note 4 as shipped is on Android 4.4.4. And if so, upon powering up the device for the first time, how do I prevent the device from automatically updating to Android 5.1.1???
Should I not set up the wifi until I am completely past the setup process?.......that way it will alert me and I can decline the installation???
Would it update automatically?....

Yes, when youre setting it up, just dont provide a wifi password when your wifi is detected in the beginning. that way it wont even download the update to begin with.
When Connections Optimizer comes up, if you dont want it. click Manage and uncheck the first box.
And if youre quick enough... after the first,last name ending of the setup up, get ready to hit the APP drawer icon on the far right bottom, quickly swipe to the right and settings should be on the middle right, quickly scroll down to system update and uncheck the first box.
Its a 50/50 chance before the bloatware starts, but it is possible..
If it does have 4.4.4, tap build number 7 times and enable USB Debugging, tap on the USB icon to switch from MTP to camera, then back to MTP, allowing ADB to allow your phone to recognize your computer. then....

Do you plan on rooting right away? Maybe it's Xposed availability that motivates you from preventing update?
IDK if this works prior to root but you could try it with adb or Odin TWRP, and use its file manager (not sure if mount is required or not, mount if needed):
delete /data/fota (KitKat)
or delete /cache/fota (Lollipop)
[Delete whole folder]
That should stop any prompt to update during or after the setup wizard. But I don't think the update is ever automatic; it will install and prompt you to update AFAIK. I can't guarantee you have KitKat out of the box either. Pray.

Thanks for the advice! I do plan on rooting right away. I want to keep it at 4.4.4 (if possible) because the most stable roots through both Chainfire and Skipsoft only go up to 4.4.4.
Not to step on anyones toes , but that wont solve the issue, itll just delete whats been downloaded and reprompt the download of lolliFLOP once connected to WiFi. Before you connect to a WiFi, root, use a Root Explorer(and yes, you will need to remount it to Read/Write once in system to allow the renaming(adding .bak ot the end) of the files.
Go to System/priv-apps
and find
SprintDM.apk and
SyncmlDM.apk and add .bak to both of those files
leaving you with
SpringDM.apk.bakand
SyncmlDM.apk.bak
and reboot and youll be good.

Not a problem at all; my mistake. I just dirty installed a beta version of tapatalk and didn't see your post prior posting myself. I'm wiping data and cache for tapatalk; they're experimenting with its cache optimization and it doesn't refresh well since they started.
The other files you mention I'm not having to delete them on Lollipop but you're more familiar with KitKat than I. It could also be the debloat I'm doing in Lollipop that makes a difference.
My toes are fine. Thanks.
