Many of us on the grandfathered unlimited plan with Verizon have modified the default.prop file in the boot image in order to bypass VZWs tethering subscription check.
Has anyone with that modification switched to the new unlimited plan?
If so, with the modified default.prop file, is tethering recognized as tethering and counted towards the new 10 gig hotspot tethering limit or not?
I would like to know this too.
Me too. Subscribing to this thread.

New to T-Mobile coming from an unlimited Verizon plan with native unlimited tethering courtesy of the custom rom on my S3. Now that I have the Note 3 what are my options? I have rooted the phone but not applied any rom/recovery/bootloader.
- Native tethering cuts me off at 2.5 gigs for the unlimited plan, do I have that right?
- Wifi tether from the market does not work, tried it...
- Foxfi would beat the T-Mobile tracking allowing unlimited tethering?
- Would a custom rom delivery unlimited tethering from the native app?
Hey, I have been looking for a way to tether as well and I just found it. I am running the lastest version of Darthstalker ROM version 5. It has native tethering. Once you get that installed, go to your APN settings and change APN protocol from IPv6 to IPv4/IPv6. If you need any help, please let me know. Good luck!

Now I could already use the native tether (even before rooting) but there was some limit from what I read. Has anyone hit that limit?
Does using the rom allow you to bypass the limit?
I don't know for sure on the Note 3, but on my Note 1 with CM10.2 (now CM11) I am able to tether as much as I want on a non-tethering prepaid plan. When I try the same thing on my Note 3 (using N9005 ROM so no T-Mo modified tether menu) it successfully connects the laptop but only ever goes to the T-Mobile account login website when I try browsing. I tethered on a train ride last weekend and had to swap my SIM over to my Note 1 for tethering. Is this due to the IPv4/IPv6 issue? I have the Note 1 set to IPv4 because the CM10.2 ROM crashed on IPv6 randomly.

I believe T-Mobile gives you 2.5 GB of free tethering. When I tether it uses my unlimited data. I checked my plan online and it said I used over 38 GB of data.
Edit: I forgot to mention that you have to use a browser spoofer to prevent tmobile from knowing you're tethering. I mainly use Chrome browser and I have it set as if it's android.

Just got my Note 3 today I just had to make new apn. IPv4 is default I am using a vpn. Stock apn settings wouldn't let me connect.already used up my 500mb and still going strong
Hey everyone, @xdabbeb was kind enough to modify the original 13B hotspot provision for our phone. I know people have been having issues with data packet drops and other hotspot problems with the modified LG G3 hotspot provision that we've been using from the other hotspot thread, and this might fix these issues. Replace apk in the system/app/HotspotProvision folder, set permissions, and reboot.

OK, Thank you... This is the only feature I wish my LG4 had as I still have unlimited data grandfathered in.. Looks like its time to do the KDZ method finally.
I didn't realize this existed, much better to use the native app and modded for unlimited access. I've had to reinstall this app because I went to 13b. On a separate note, I got a warning message that requires a Verizon LTE SIM to use the hotspot, but it allowed me to use on AT&T 4G (HSPA+) on grandfathered unlimited data plan. Thanks for the thread.
now usb tethering is working too. thanks
I know this is an old thread, but I wanted to report this file worked for me with the 2BA firmware. I just switched over to Red Pocket and I was having issues with the regular hotspot application functioning (Verizon restrictions), but this let me use the hotspot once more. I'll be switching over to the GSMA version next month, hopefully it will continue to function. Thanks!
Is this possible and could someone post a guide or links how to do this process after root please. New to this and just want to use my hotspot for net access because in rural area.

There are countless threads on this topic within this forum. Here is one of them that includes information on a few different methods.

Looks like tha thread is about enabling tether while OP was asking about bypassing throttling on tether. I am also interested in bypassing throttling but haven't found any real way that Verizon doesn't get past with its deep scans

I am on a grandfathered UDP on Verizon and I am using the MagiskHideProps method for enabling tethering and I have seen no evidence that Verizon has any visibility to my tethering activity. (My verizon bill each month indicates that I had no HotSpot activity - and I do use the hotspot several times each month)....perhaps this is an artifact of the grandfathered UDP - but those plans aren't supposed to even include tethering - throttled or not.
Thx,
S
guys my hotspot is unlocked and i just want to bypass the verizion throttling. with my unlimited plan i get 10 gb of data hs after that it gets knocked down to 3g. so i dont want to unlock hs i want to hide my hs useage.
How do I hide tethering in magestic hide and I will see if it throttles.Im also on grandfathered plan too.Sean

I didn't do anything specific to hide tethering. I enabled the use of the native tethering capability by using MagiskHideProps to add the net.tethering.noprovisioning = true. This bypasses the provisioning/subscription check to Verizon and simply starts the hotspot immediately. Using this method, I have never seen any evidence that Verizon "sees" my hotspot activity. My bill always indicates that no Hotspot usage occurred each month. Perhaps, by bypassing the provisioning check, Verizon does not know to "track" hotspot usage??? Not sure...
Thanks,
S
Sb was your hotspot unlocked and you get 15 gb a month? What is magiskhide props exactly?? What is your phone rooted with?

I am on a grandfathered unlimited data plan which does not include hotspot. I use the magisk to root and magiskhideprops to make the build.prop edit of net.tether.noprovisioning=true which allows me to tether. The forum thread I linked to earlier has more details and you can also find tons of documentation on magisk and magiskhideprops on the magisk forums.
I received a text from Cricket today that they added 10gb of hotspot for the next 60day to help get by COVID-19. I tried the hotspot on my Pixel 3 XL and it worked. I started a chat with Cricket to ask why my Pixel hotspot worked now and not any other day even though I have 15gd free hotspot on compatible phones. Below is the response,
"wireless devices are either single or dual APN (a back-end carrier setting that allows for software applications). Cricket Mobile Hotspot, because of the way it was developed, can only work on dual APN devices. Historically, not all Cricket devices are dual APN.
Certain single APN devices are compatible with Cricket Mobile Hotspot on certain retired rate plans, but do not allow for Mobile Hotspot on currently available rate plans."
Does that sound right?
I personally can't tell you that it sounds right or not to me because it didn't make sense to me when they tried to explain it. I got the tethering to work with MagiskHide Props Config and help from the forum before all this COVID-19 started and my 3 XL worked thankfully.
hello everyone I am new to the forum so any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a note 10 plus with sprint. I am trying to add a new APN so I can use unlimited free hotspot. All the apn's are greyed out and I can't reset to default or add a new apn. What can I do to fix this or is there any way to fix it??? I recently upgraded from a note 9 and I could click to the left of the blue circle and it would allow me to edit the settings but it doesn't work anymore on this phone and I'm assuming when it went from Android 9 to Android 10 is when it stopped working all together. Has anyone figured out how to do something with it that doesn't require the phone being rooted??

Unless things have changed (as far as I know they haven't) if you have one of the unlimited data plans (which is pretty much all they have) then you already have unlimited hotspot data.
The unlimited data plans they have offer a set amount hotspot data measured in gigs at full LTE speeds. After that your hotspot speeds are reduced until your next billing cycle. Because it is unlimited there is no need to use some form of "trick" to get something that is already included with the plan they offer.
If for some reason the hotspot isn't working and it is supposed to be included in your plan then contact sprint and make sure your account (and phone) are provisioned for the service.
Now if by chance your trying to sneak one past sprint and get unlimited high speed hotspot data that was not included in the plan you agreed too... Then I would recommend you reconsider. While it can be argued that this can be considered theft, it would be most definitely an intentional, blatant and willful breach of your agreement that you entered into with Sprint.
