What's up,
Has anybody figured out a way to tether LTE data through our galaxy s7 actives without having to activate it through att? I have used fox Fi on previous devices as well as custom Roms and tweaks to get this feature working so I can use my unlimited data to its potential while on longs trips with a tablet. Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers

I think sidesync is your best best. It's worked on my s7 edge, note 7 and now s7 active. It's not wireless, but it does the job.
there is a way to do it using an att apn and then once the hotspot starts up, go back to the apn and then switch back to the original.
it worked back when i had the s7 active.

**UPDATE** I have wifi tethering working via the root method as described in this method.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-active/help/samsung-galaxy-s7-active-root-t3473649
Once rooted you will have to install the Xposed framework, and activate the "X tether" module which can be found in the root thread. Once that has been activated, you will be able to use your phone as a wifi hotspot without activating the annoying ATT plan :good:
odd, as im in UK... (on three) using my Active, my mobile hotspot works with the inbuilt stuff from settings ! .. no problems whatso ever!?..
Yup I'm currently not rooted, I got into my settings, Connections Mobile Hotspot turn it on. I've never had to pay extra for it or anything it just works on my S7 Active and I use it a fair amount.

I have unlimited data but can't tether...
When you sign up for At&t unlimited data plan, they take your ability to tether. Will rooting allow me to make my phone a mobile hotspot while I'm still on an unlimited data plan? If so, could someone point me in the right direction please?
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!
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.
I'm upgrading from an old Pixel to the 6 on Sprint (now T-Mobile. On my previous phone, rooted with Magisk I used:
settings put global tether_dun_required=0
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
...to use the hotspot with no problems. Now, I still have the old grandfathered Sprint plan, but I'm on the T-Mobile network via the 6's eSIM. I tried adding the two above items via Magisk Canary (SN passes BTW) and tether but LTE nor 5G work. I also tried making a duplicate of my existing T-Mobile APN, added a ,dun to the type, and tethering still does not work. Has anyone gotten this to work on T-Mobile? Am I missing a step other than the three I outlined above? I don't think this phone works on Sprint, but if it does, any success there?
Having the ability to tether has been extremely helpful over the years - I hope someone can help me get that capability back now that I'm rooted. Thank you.

Works fine for me with Verizon adding custom prop of net.tethering.noprovisioning=true with magiskhide props config module.

What method did you use to insert net.tethering.noprovisioning=true? I followed these steps for here (https://forum.xda-developers.com/goto/post?id=80055304):
Install Magisk module: MagiskHide Props Config and Reboot
adb shell
settings put global tether_dun_required 0
su props
Enter 5, Add/edit custom props
Enter n, New custom prop
Enter net.tethering.noprovisioning
Enter true
Enter 2, post-fs-data
Enter y
Enter y to reboot
If I type "getprop | grep tether" I get:
[net.tethering.noprovisioning]: [true]
If I type "settings list global | grep dun" I get:
tether_dun_required=0
...so the values are there. When I duplicate APN, all I added was ,dun to the end to APN type, keeping it a duplicate of the original. I even tried this Magisk module which, after looking at the script directly, does the same thing but also adjusts TTLs:
GitHub - evdenis/tether_unblock: Hide tethering from your mobile network operator

My PC connects to the my phone when I tap hotspot and I can ping the IP of the phone, but that's it. On the phone itself in hotspot mode, I can ping external IPs.
USB tether doesn't work either - I get an IP on my PC but can't reach external sites.
I really don't know what else to do here. Any other Sprint / T-Mobile folks get this working on Android 12 / Pixel 6 / Pro?

With T-mobile you should just be able to hit the "hotspot" button and have it work, unless you have a super low-level plan. Nothing special in my APN.

That looks correct to me although I use a different terminal....I also don't specify when to activate prop and just use the default (which I believe is 1 instead of you using 2 in your use). But it seems like your props are activated upon boot.

The above basically outlines it.....but here it is summarized:
1) Root your phone with magisk.
2) Install the Magiskhide Props Config module
3) Use some app that let's you have access to terminal...I use termux.
4) Type "su" for superuser rights, then type "props" to access configuring the module.
5) Go through the prompts as the OP listed above starting with choice 5 "add/edit custom props" to add net.tethering.noprovisioning with "true" as the value.
6) I don't use the global tether dun line because with Verizon, even when activated without circumvention, it tallies the use toward "tether/hotspot data."
I use other apps that routes traffic through a VPN to avoid detection. Like VPN Tether on the play store.

I see what you mean about the order of the prop being added, but it is definitely added early enough it shouldn't be an issue. Even to be safe, I added the Magisk module that definitely adds the prop and modifies TTL. I guess adding APNs with ,dun appended doesn't help? Or disabling Tethering Hardware Acceleration?

I do disable the tethering hardware acceleration for the apps I use for routing tethering data to the VPN since they don't function properly with this enabled. But the act of tethering itself doesn't seem to be limited by this. Best of luck figuring this out.

Did you ever get this to work? You said you are upgrading from an old Pixel? Was your old Pixel running Android 10 or below?
I can activate the hotspot, but when I try to connect to it, it says NO INTERNET.
I am also on Sprint. I think some changes were made in Android 11 and that's when it stopped working.
I am also having this issue but coming from a Galaxy s20fe on Sprint. Got the new pixel 6 with a TMobile esim on Sprint. With the galaxy I could just add dun to my apn and hotspot would just work natively. With this phone you can turn it on but no data transmits through it. Also on a grandfathered sprint plan. Tried editing the apn with dun with no luck. Tried adb shell dun=0 with no luck. Id prefer not to root the phone but will if I can't eventually figure this out.

I've run into this wall a few times especially streaming movies to my smart TV...
There's a relevant post by @ajent here (and quoted below):
ajent said:
Thank you for creating this.
I was having a hell of a time getting my Sprint (T-mobile TNX) esim Pixel 6 pro to hotspot properly.
Finally got it working. Rooted & flashed your magnificent kernel. Added "Dun" to Tmobile APN. This allows the hotspot to enable but anything that connects has no internet. The fix was to change the TTL. I added this to the script section of EX Kernel Manager:
Code:
iptables -t mangle -I POSTROUTING -j TTL --ttl-set 64
ip6tables -t mangle -I POSTROUTING -j HL --hl-set 64
The key for me was the ip6 tables since Tmo 5g uses only ipv6 and I'm in a 5G area.
Hope it helps
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That that requires adding a custom kernel along with a special build of iptables. Seems like a bit too much trouble but I found a different workaround for the TTL issue.
I got a P6P recently and I did every step on the first page of this post but I still wasn't able to get the hotspot functionality fully working (thanks to tmobile). I did discover several workarounds though.
Initially when I used VPN Hotspot, my macbook could not reach any websites, but then I figured out that if I modify the TTL to 65 on my macbook as well as override the provided DHCP DNS server to 8.8.8.8 it works! Obviously a client side override is a pain in the ass so I kept on digging.
I used the VPN Hotspot app in conjunction with AdGuard (downloaded from the website not the play store) and configure tun0 as the upstream. VPN Hotspot takes care of the routing and AdGuard acts as a dummy VPN to force all routed hotspot TTLs to 64. This takes care of the IP routing on the hotspot.
What I have left to figure out is why isn't the DNS server (dnsmasq) on the P6P not responding. From DHCP, the gateway IP is also the same as the DNS IP, but does not respond at all (as I watch tcpdump from my macbook). The only way to work around this is to set a static DNS server on the client. This isn't ideal for clients and requires manual (re)configuration.
Has anyone discovered a workaround for the message "to use mobile hotspot you will need to subscribe to a hotspot service"? I have unlimited data on this line and I would like to use it. Thanks a ton!

Rooting won't help and it's probably not worth the effort. I've used PDANet back when I had my original Verizon unlimited plan. I could connect via USB.
I used to flash the U1 firmware to bypass this when I had a plan that didn't support mobile Hotspot. Before that I used PDAnet for usb tethering or even a different APN setting to prevent blocking.
