Rooted pixel 2XL. unblocked wifi tether / hotspot no internet connection. - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

I have successfully rooted my xl with Magisk, and unlocked the wifi tether however, The connection seems to be somewhat superficial as the connected device doesn't have any INTERNET connection. I have tried connecting both a laptop and another phone to no avail.
I have tried 2 different methods of unlocking the tether:
Adding "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true" to the prop build
Installing Magisk tether mod
Both methods worked equally as half-assed.
Foxfi and all those apps don't work, I have to activate the handset hotspot in order for them to work, but even then it only broadcasts the built-in ssid.
I have scoured the Internet for some clues, but I cannot find anything that relates to my issue recently or my phone specifically. Any help would be greatly appreciated as i have a Joying stereo that is nearly useless without wifi and i dont want to have to return my phone and go back to my m9.
Pixel 2XL
Rooted
buildPD1.170816.025

I have a strange issue after i rooted my xl 2. I could no longer tether to my Nexus 7 2013 but other devices were fine. Don't recall it happening while on 8.1 DP1 or 8.0 prior to Nov update. So i'm back to stock for now and will reroot for this month's update to see if there's any change.

yes.
Open teminal and type su (accept root prompt)
then type the step 4 and 5 commands

I just did this same thing to the "T." It works.
Download the magisk module through magisk downloads tab and then hook up your phone. Launch a power shell or cmd window from your ADB and fastboot folder.
Type "adb shell"
Hit "enter"
Type "settings put global tether_dun_required 0"
type "reboot"
Hit "enter"
Should it be letting me share wifi connection too though? It lets me share a functioning data connection, but when I hook my pixel up to wifi, turn on the hot spot, connect a device to the pixels hotspot connection, and try getting on the the internet with the second device I don't have internet on it. The second device will show a wifi connection in the status bar. I'm not really worried about it because I think any time I use hotspot it's with a data connection, but I thought I should be able to share a wifi connection too.

Have you been able to do this before? Every device I've ever had will turn off my WiFi as soon as I turn on hotspot. I haven't used it on the pixel 2 yet, but I'm looking a mod that will work on TMobile

It does turn off wifi. From my understanding it IS like that on every device that makes a hot spot. They only want you sharing a data connection. You can share wifi. Say you worked at a place that didn't want anything on their wifi except company devices. If you could share a wifi connection this would allow potentially malicious devices onto the network. That's why I think you can only share data. I think this is standard. If I'm wrong or if there is a work around to be able to share wifi hopefully someone will chime in and correct me.

Lollipop tethering (working)

Thanks to datawrhsdoc for translating the OP

1. Root your phone
2. Either modify your existing APN to use IPv4 and adding 'dun' to the list of APN types, or create a duplicate APN with the same modifications
3. Set the modified/new APN as your default.
4. Download tether_counter_kill.txt from the OP's first post, and rename the file removing the txt extension (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59858654&postcount=1)
5. Install Smanager from Play Store
6. Navigate to tether_counter_kill from Smanager, and set both 'Su' and 'Boot' options. Run it (you won't need to do this again)
7. Start Mobile Hotspot on your phone, and connect to the hotspot from your devices
8. Immediately start a VPN client from your device(s) which will tether. VPN must redirect ALL traffic (e.g., TorGuard).
9. Enjoy unlimited WiFi tether

Looks like the settings.db is on a lock-down. I can't access it via sqlite any longer. It says: "the database is currently locked by another process"
Any ideas? @autoprime ?
Quick Edit: was able to copy settings.db to sd card and open it up with sqlite. couldn't change any parameters, as sqlite would fc. Downloaded this guy (http://sqlitebrowser.org/) and made changes, then overwrote the one in data/data directory. We'll see how/if it works.

Nope, something over-writes the tethering back to "1" after each reboot. I'm sure @autoprime can figure this one out, as he did for KK.
You are right I'm on LG G2 with official T-Mo lollipop and I was able to edit settings.db...not with sglite but with SQLite Debugger.
After reboot, the changes i made to the tethering reverted back to dafault 1.
For those that want to use wireless tether, try the app from this thread (it's $2.5):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-tmobile/general/unlimited-wifi-tethering-t2914057
I'm more interested in making the usb tethering work. I'll try using IPv4 + vpn tonight. Pretty sure it's going to fail because of the tether.dun set to 1...

or those having issues with tethering. I tested it out today and had issues. It would connect but would not resolve dns. I have unlimited tethering on Three, it's always worked until now.
Doing this resolved my issues. I suspect this issue will be resolve by Three when an official uk build is released.

anyone tested does this work with no tether tracking?
Uploading a tether_dun_required=0 script (needs root) that you can use with Smanager to either trigger it via a desktop widget, app, or set it on boot. Remove ".txt" from the end and navigate to it via Smanager. I will test tethering later tonight.
Make sure you click/select the SuperUser icon in Smanager's options.

Ohh okay. even better.. ill try it and report back. thanks
EDIT:
Strange, i cant even get an SSID to show up on the native hotspot now. I know it worked before -- i used it last Sunday. The hotspot turns itself off after like 30 seconds.
Okay.. So I did a factory reset because i didnt know how to fix my problem from my previous post.
Then I:
1) added the same APN as IPV5
2) did this:
Enable developer mode (Go to Settings -> About phone, and click on the build number until the developer mode is enabled).
Enable USB debugging under Settings -> Developer options
Connect the device with a USB cable to a computer with the Android SDK platform tools installed
Start an adb shell: adb shell
In the adb shell, run this command: settings put global tether_dun_required 0
3) used the native tether app
I haven't tested it very extensively but from what i can tell, i am able to tether and it just shows up as normal data vs mobile hotspot. I transferred bout 600mb as a test. will test more later.
Thanks for your help RussianBear!
EDIT:
I lied. i think tmobile was delayed in reflecting my usage. it showed up today.
My hot-spot was broken by LP. Devices connect fine but have no Internet whatsoever. I'm able to USB tether without issues using PDANet and just selecting level 1 hide tether usage works fine. No needs for UA switching or anything like that. Just wish the WiFi tether worked, even if it's counting.

Script Works for WIFI Tether
It appears that this method is working for WIFI tethering as well. I watched an 11 minute Youtube and then emailed myself a 5.5MB Powerpoint. Here are my results:
Before After
Mobile Hotspot 92.2 92.4
Data 462.2 527.1
Not sure where that 0.2MB came from, but that's not much of my 5GB plan, so I don't much care.
Update 1: Figured out where the 0.2MB came from. My testing used all encrypted traffic over HTTPS, and TMO couldn't track it. I then ran a CNN.com video and the Mobile Hotspot counter spiked. Still not quite there yet.
Update 2: Enabled my VPN, and no traffic at all is being tracked by TMO. No user agent required. Yipee!!

[Q] AT&T Tethering

I've been trying to tether (with the H810), but whenever I do I get the following error:
Authentication was unsuccessful.
There is a temporary network problem that prevents the enablement of the USB tethering function. Please retry later.
I've tried PDAnet and foxfi as well as easytether, none of them work.
I don't have an H810, but I'm on Cricket (using AT&T's network) and I just tethered my PC (I moved to Jersey for a 3 month IT contract) no problems...but not via USB. Just WiFi Hot Spot.
ugh stupid locked down carrier phones. I guess I might return my phone and grab the H815 instead.
Don't return your phone.

I got an unlocked unbranded H815 on release day here in the UK.
It's now rooted but as soon as I try to connect another device to it, web access gets blocked by the ISP.
I use the G4's Wi-Fi hotspot, not USB. My other phones, Samsung and HTC, rooted but running custom ROMs had the same problem new out of the box but worked fine once rooted, and running custom ROMs.
Does anyone know if G4's hotspot problem can be solved with a new ROM?
FYI, the mhl / HDMI connection to a monitor doesn't work either.
The mhl dongle used to connect to the monitor works fine with HTC's micro-USB.
I assume the G4 is also 5-pin (as opposed to Samsung's 11-pin).
Any ideas?
No problems with WiFi tethering on my AT&T variant.

Off topic but the G4 is not MHL, it's Slimport. Just tried my Slimport adaptor that I had from my G2 and it works just fine.

Regarding tethering we have to differentiate between "legal" tethering on a plan that allows it (which only the carrier phones will do as they have to connect to the server to authenticate you) and tethering not using a carier phone and/or accessing the full pool of your plan's mobile data, for which the carrier may check the browser ID string and take you to an upsell page. Tethering apps can alter the string but will usually require root to work well or you can go through a VPN.

My reply to diamond12
Thank you diamond12.
I'll order a Slimport dongle today.
Your rapid response saved me wasting more time on the HDMI problem.
Re: going off-topic, I use the hotspot of phone to connect a Tab-S 8.4 to the web, and via dongles, to a large HD monitor or TV. It therefore felt more efficient to collate the two, related issues, in one thread.
On data usage, yes you are right. The ISP doesn't allow tethering unless they can sell me yet more data packages.
I already have two separate data packages for the same line, one of which is unlimited, so I'm not being unfair to them.
The question was why when rooted HTC & Samsung devices can by-pass the ISP lock screen, the G4 gets blocked?
It's unbranded, bootloader unlocked, rooted four times and tested.
Maybe one of our bright contributors here can shine a light here?

Yep, and I didn't have to use another program, just built in LG HotSpot function.
Yes the G4 is fine. You are lucky.
Root access alone didn't help. The issue here is the ISP lock.
I expect a de-odexed ROM will bypass that.
Yea, I returned my 810 for a 815. I'm on cricket, 815 works perfectly fine, the 810 doesn't work.
I got the AT&T 810 and the stock wifi tether works for me. I did follow the steps in this article though. Perhaps you can give it a try too?
https://pmf.silvrback.com/fixing-tethering-on-android-kitkat
just an FYI here are the correct instructions to get it to work on an AT&T H810:
1. Enable developer mode (Go to Settings -> About phone, and click on the build number until the developer mode is enabled).
2. Enable USB debugging under Settings -> Developer options
3. Connect the device with a USB cable to a computer with the Android SDK platform tools installed
4. Start an adb shell: adb shell
5. In the adb shell, run these commands one by one:
settings put global tether_dun_required 0
settings put system tether_entitlement_check_state 0
reboot

i had no idea the H815, unlocked version still didnt allow you to do hotspots. give it a whirl. all those do is disable the network tethering checks. if tmobile checks tethering based on other things, then i cant say that it will work

I'm able to enter the setup menu through the fire tv app on my smartphone but i can't enable adb to skip ota (i read some thread here). I see that there are no apps and i can't login with amazon account. I live in a country where it isn't still released and so amazon support said that they can't help me... I just want to connect the fire tv to internet to use some basical app like spotify or youtube... can someone help me please?

I don't know of anyway around registration of the stick. In settings you can not enable ADB? You will have to root it to disable the OTA (firestick2 is rootable). The other option is set a VPN to let you register it. Just some ideas...

With rooting and unlocking you can get into ADB VIA TWRP. You might run into an issue on connecting to ADB and still having keyboard access with a powered hub to power the stick and have ADB sideloading, it can be done though. but you can also work in advanced in twrp-terminal. You also have file manager. I am still not sure how to get past the setup though. I find it weird that it wont let you register it though...

My device is an HD1907 T-mobile variant, running global firmware with magisk root and bluspark kernel on OxygenOS. Tethering is my only way of getting my laptop connected while at work, and on my old razer phone I got around this issue with settings put global tether_dun_required 0 in ADB. This doesn't seem to work on the OP7T, Even after setting the TTL on my laptop to 65.
I tried the command adb settings put global tether_dun_apn tethering,fast.t-mobile.com,,,,,,,,,310,260,,dun as described in another post, and now my hotspot isn't working (nbd, I'll just keep using PDAnet for now.)
Does anybody have more information on how this all works in android 10 and how we could get around T-mobile's artificially imposed, unusable tethering speeds? PDAnet works good for me however some of the linux apps I use don't work behind a proxy and I'd like to use the built in hotspot.
Also, could somebody ADB to their phone and enter: settings get global tether_dun_apn and give me the output so I can set mine back to default? (should've done it first myself, I know.) Any help or information is appreciated, thank you.
Bump. Same
Same.
attached the result from my device.
my device is OP7T, GLOBAL, not locked for tethering.

Only thing stopping us is mounting as rw

Download the magisk modules from page 7, VPN Hotspot and TTL Master from links in the thread follow latest instructions (just posted an update today) Should work on any rooted device, android 9/10. There's a non rooted version as well... Try these lemme know in my thread if it works for the 7t.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7t/how-to/easy-tether-fix-magisk-mod-t4075639 theres the fix i put it up working great
Found a new method that's working for me. You need to add these apn settings and use ttl editor to set ttl to 65. I'm getting 30mb down over usb tethering:
I'm using a different phone now but it should work fine as long as you can set these apn settings in OOS.

I think the key is to make sure the domain is tmobile.com, without the hyphen. The subdomain "fast" works with DUN on my OP7T. I also set APN protocol to IPv4, but this does not appear to have been necessary. This results in full up/down of 130/33 on my best test.
Just something to try for fun, with Verizon I kill ipv6 via teminal (# sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1) before enabling the hotspot and set it back to =0 once my device has connected to the hotspot and this results in uncapped speeds, no idea if applicable here but thought I'd share.
Ttl=65 obviously a must on device wanting to connect to hotspot. Good luck!

It appears that eventually the OS (I am on OP11 Beta 4) will eventually complain that dun is not allowed, however initially, omitting the hyphen appears to be a good workaround. Using 'pcweb' in the APN type field still works though, and this appears to be enough. I have not had to change ttl on the one client device I've tried it with. That said I have not tried long-term testing.
I just switched from a OnePlus 6T to an iPhone 12 mini today. I have been using this solution by Sporos up until now to bypass mobile hotspot usage through T-Mobile. Does anyone know if this same method can be used to accomplish on an iPhone? iPhones have APN settings too, but the fill-in spots are not as in depth. If no one is familiar, do you at least know which fill-in spots are the ones making the workaround happen?

Help, my firestick has no network capability

Hi everyone
i my friend gave me his firestick 4k the other day because he has managed to mess it up big time
He said that he followed a tech docter youtube video to sideload an app to remove bloatware, after being successful at this, he then used an app that clears your cache and closes all the apps for you, from what i can understand it sounded like the app "cleanmaster"
after doing that he immediately lost his internet connection, he said that there wasnt even a network section anymore, just a troubleshooting option, he then factory reset his stick but this didnt solve anything
ive got the stick setup now, ive looked in the network section and he was right, theres nothing, even in the my fire tv section where you can see the ip/mac/ssid etc, they all say "not connected"
ill attach pictures
Im willing to flash this somehow, or root it, install cfw anything, please help!
Try:
Select Settings > Network from the Fire TV menu, then Play/Pause on your remote, and follow the recommended steps.
If that doesn't work maybe reset the stick again.
I know one of the settings in the debloat tool turns off the ability to see new networks, resetting should have reenabled that switch.

Thanks for replying, pressing play/pause does nothing, as you can see there is nothing on the network page at all except the troubleshoot option
Factory reset doesn't work at all, doing a factory reset from the my fire tv section just makes you go back to the settings menu, using the back and right button combo does nothing either, even if you wait for the countdown to end
When he gave me the stick he had already factory reset it so there are no apps on here at all including this bloatware one you mentioned, nothing

If you have a stick that is from 2019 you can fix it by unlocking it and installing another firmware. This will also give you root privileges.

[NEWBIE GUIDE] How to Unlock Bootloader/Root and install Addons FireStick 4k
None of this is my work and all recognition goes to the awesome developers that made this possible, I will link their guides in here with some minor notes for newbies like me that may had some issues trying to unlock and root the Fire Stick (FS)...
forum.xda-developers.com
It doesn't have to show ip address, follow the thread carefully. It involves opening up the stick, connecting it to pc (via the power cable) and shorting a resistor.
This will unlock the stick and let you flash brand new firmware. It's the only way to do it if your factory reset isn't working I'm afraid.
Regards
Thankyou for this fantastic response, when I've got spare time and the balls to try it I'll dive in, seems complicated but I'll give it a good go

don't unlock your stick, use any of the method
Method 1:
reinstall the app again and turn on wifi, the wifi on the stick is disabled.
Method 2:
take out your stick, connect to your pc
wait for it boot
enter
adb devices
​if it says "unauthorized"
press "Down" on remote two times​and press "select" to authorize your pc​​when it says "device"
enter​adb shell​svc wifi enable​
if you get "killed" error then go for method 3
Unplug your stick from PC and connect to your TV.
Method 3
Install the apk on your stick, then click on "Enable"
It will also tell you if your Wifi is disabled or not.
This app can TURN ON and TURN OFF the WIFI
Here's a proof
Hi I'm trying method 2 at the moment, but if it doesn't work how do I install the WiFi enabler APK without having WiFi?

I've run into the next problem, I've installed the debloat tool, I've re enabled everything to try and clean up the mess my friend made, but when I try and deregister the stick it just goes straight back to settings, is there anything else I can do here? (he said I can have the stick now as he has a new one)

Look, sorry for the issues, you have to do some steps.
Connect your pc to stick (using wifi)
adb connect IP:5555
then adb shell
then enter
pm list packages -d
And send me the output

Reboot your stick (Long press "Play/Pause + Select" for few seconds)
Try deregistering, is result is same, go to developers options, turn it off and then on again.
Go to network section of the stick copy the ip address.
Then go to your pc, (make sure your Stick and PC are on same wifi network)
Enter
adb disconnect
adb connect ip:5555
Here ip is the ip address of your stick
Eg adb connect 192.168.43.123:5555
It should connect
