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
Hide tethering from your mobile network operator. Contribute to evdenis/tether_unblock development by creating an account on GitHub.

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.

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.

As I could not find a thread about this specifically, I am posting this solution as it works for me.
On the Galaxy S2 SGH-T989 is where this pertains to though other users might encounter similar problem with other phones on simple mobile.
Stock 2.3.6 Rom
When you turn on the portable hotspot feature with this phone, what it does is disconnect your "Simple Mobile" APN and inserts and connects using a new APN called "Tethering". When you try connecting with your PC to your hotspot's ssid, it takes you to a web page on t-mobile.com informing you with an error 503 or some other error stating that its not available. I assume t-mobile is detecting that you are not their customer and blocks it.
it takes you here:
-------------------------------------------------------
http://androidapi.t-mobile.com/apppack/mvno.html
Error 503--Service Unavailable
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.5.4 503 Service Unavailable
The server is currently unable to handle the request due to a temporary overloading or maintenance of the server. The implication is that this is a temporary condition which will be alleviated after some delay. If known, the length of the delay may be indicated in a Retry-After header. If no Retry-After is given, the client SHOULD handle the response as it would for a 500 response.
Note: The existence of the 503 status code does not imply that a server must use it when becoming overloaded. Some servers may wish to simply refuse the connection.
---------------------------------------------------------
The reason is because that APN tries to connect to "pcweb.tmobile.com". What you have to do is once you activate your hotspot, you have to edit the apn (while it is running) and change it from pcweb.tmobile.com to simple.
No other setting is needed. I am using "APN manager" which I paid for on the market and it is well worth it. I have used it for other purposes besides this and it allows you to edit the APN while it is live. Hope this helps other simple mobile users...
Also, you have to edit this "Tethering" APN every time you run the hotspot and delete the last one as it will just keep adding the new one with the t-mobile settings every time.
Anyone else out there with another solution please post it..

This thread saved me! While I did not follow the instructions, it got me thinking to check the apn settings on my phone. As it turned out my apn was changed to a different apn when i turned on my hotspot and all I had to do was select my original apn again and tethering began to work! Awesome!
I'm using a freetel FTU152D (Samurai Kiwami) on Simple Mobile. It does change the APN every time I turn on the Hotspot, but fixing the APN settings doesn't seem to do anything; other devices connect to the wifi, but still can't see the internet. Meanwhile, I still have internet access on the FTU152D. Any ideas?

Those play store apps are pointless when you can do it native. And they don't work anymore without using a vpn because T-mobile scans user-agent strings to determine the device being used.
All I do is, Replace TetheringProvision.apk with the modded one, Set the permissions to 644 (rw-r--r--), go into customer.xml and change all non ims profiles to ipv4 (leave the ims protocols ipv6 or VoLTE and WiFi-Calling won't work), go to settings and change the apn by adding dun to default,mms,supl and change it to ipv4. Then I reboot my phone. In this state you will still use hotspot allotment. That is because T-mobile is using user-agent strings to decipher device being used. Only way to fix that is to get a vpn and use it on the devices you connect to your hotspot.

What is the point if you're still using the Hot spot allotment?
I use WiFi Tether for Root users and it's awesome. I average 10 to 20 gigs a day when traveling with my family. I use it for the Roku I have attached to the in-car entertainment system. I've had a few months where my usage was north of 500GB and never heard a peep from T-MO. That does not include my wife, mother in-law and Kids Ipads all hooked up to the Hot Spot in the car. Heck, I'm the only one not surfing at those times.

The point was not installing another app to do what the phone already can. With vpn it does not use allotment. I tried WiFi Tether for Root and it did not work good enough. It connected me but with slow speeds even with the recommended settings from the developer. And sometimes still pulled alottment. With the native way I get 30 - 60 Mbps/sec. With vpn same speed no allotment and the added protection of privacy and they never know what I am doing online. I personally see more benefit my way. Also most places I have read that recommend WiFi Tether for root have tons of posts about having problems getting it to work right. Also if you just switch your apn to ipv4 you lose VoLTE and WiFi-Calling because they use ipv6. So you would have to switch back and forth. All I have to do is hit my hotspot widget and I am done. On my other device I just connect and then connect vpn. Perfect. But maybe it is just about personal preference. Also I use damn near 1 terabyte a month for watching videos while I'm out and about so I know how it is for you there.
I have to agree with you on the native tether being superior but I do not VPN for all my devices, especially the Roku.
As for slow speeds, I have tested it on connected devices using the speed test app and the results were just as fast as native

Maybe the app depends on rom setup. Though I tried WiFi Tether Router as well with the same results as the other app. I use the Sick As Hell rom. Dunno if it makes a difference. I am not sure if Roku and Chromecast even use data. They do their thing mostly over the same network. So they only use data if you use their native apps I think. Not sure.

Can you go more in depth on this? I'm looking at my customer.xml and see scattered ipv6 entries but don't know which to change to ipv4 and which to leave the same. I don't see a distinction between "non ims" and "ims protocols".
Also do I need to create a copy of my current apn to edit it? The active one is non editable.
Thanks!

Those play store apps are pointless when you can do it native. And they don't work anymore without using a vpn because T-mobile scans user-agent strings to determine the device being used.
All I do is, Replace TetheringProvision.apk with the modded one, Set the permissions to 644 (rw-r--r--), go into customer.xml and change all non ims profiles to ipv4 (leave the ims protocols ipv6 or VoLTE and WiFi-Calling won't work), go to settings and change the apn by adding dun to default,mms,supl and change it to ipv4. Then I reboot my phone. In this state you will still use hotspot allotment. That is because T-mobile is using user-agent strings to decipher device being used. Only way to fix that is to get a vpn and use it on the devices you connect to your hotspot.

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.
Hopefully I'm not missing something obv. but I have a sm-975f variant that is rooted that I am using on Cricket. I'm trying to do wifi tethering using the hotspot feature, but devices are not getting internet. I have added them as approved devices once they connect, but still no internet. I do not have a tethering plan with Cricket, but coming from "vanilla" Android devices for years, I was just able to connect with no problems. Is there something I am missing? Should I use a third-party app?
You have to have the tehering package, my unlocked and rooted Moto Z2 Force never would connect either, also never found any third party apps to work either.

Actually just changed to the updated package with the tethering a few minutes ago. I'll give it some time before testing again to see if that works. Like I said, coming from AOSP and Pixel roms, never had to worry about actually having it included in my plan.
Hmmm..still no internet. I get an IP address but nothing. I was looking and seen that the Note 10+ wasnt on their "approved list" (if that really means anything.) I guess I can call their (existent) customer support to make sure my plan has updated.
I resolved the problem by doing some googleing. The default apn that gets loaded when you insert a cricket sim was missing a setting in the apn type field. It was missing "dun". Once I added that, I was able to get internet on tethered devices. I also moved my sim to slot two which may or may not have helped.
To add, my p2xl did not have the "dun" setting but still was able to tether other devices with no problems so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I lost my hotspot hack when I updated my Sprint S10 to Android 10 like everyone else but I just found a fix! It works on my S10 so I’m guessing it’ll work the same for S10+ users.
##3282# then APN Settings
(The left clicking to unlock editing doesn’t work anymore like you all said)
Go into APN2 and take pictures with another device of all the settings
Go back and click ADD next to Access Point Names
Fill in the data identical to the original APN2 data except APN TYPE add dun between mms and xcap
Upper right hand menu and SAVE
You will now have two APN2. Select the one that has DUN in the APN type and hit the left arrow next to Access Point Names to set it.
Crazy enough it worked!
It works but for some reason it's not near as fast as the s10 plus running Android 9 and hacking that the old way.... I play gta online I can't load other players with my hotspot but my wife's phone (still on Android 9) will let me load other players anyone know a work around for this

Use a vpn. It seems its being detected as media and such thats throttled. Of course in order for the vpn to work on the connected device it has to be run from the connected device.

Tried still not working I don't get it I copied everything letter for letter but the dun when I have normal apn going with my. 5 gb hotspot plan it works fine when I switch to the one with the dun it's just as fast just can't load online xbox we gotta figure out a way to edit the original apn

If your phone is unlocked 000000
If it is not, ie leased phone, you'll have to see if sprint will give it up.
I lost hotspot on s9 plus going to android 10. Worked flawlessly through oreo and pie. Not impressed by Android 10 either. Hopefully I'll be able to downgrade without too much hassle.
Downgraded s9 plus last night to restore hotspot workaround. Crappy part is that I'm in an area that doesn't offer a comparable internet.

I know its been awhile, but ive figured out that in order to use anything xbox related regardless of vpn you need to use the Public IP addon from sprint. I believe its only $2.99 extra/month. Thats what i had to do in order to use xbox live via my hotspot.

Creating the new APN after getting the android 10 upgrade and it worked for me, but it appears Sprint has UDP blocked. I noticed this affecting me on Discord voice chat and loading roblox games.
Following Discord's advice, I went here https://test.webrtc.org/ and it showed no UDP.
UDP is a bit beyond my understanding. No idea how to get past this issue.

haha yea.. things like this is why they set limits/restrictions on hotspot to begin with..
sprints network (and most mobile networks) arent made to handld continuous live gaming..
back when i used to work for uscellular it was even in their policies as being against the rules.. that as well as things like continuous p2p streaming, torrents n other stuff..
i wouldnt b surprised if in the future carriers remove the ability to edit apns altogether since this is how ppl have been bypassing restrictions for years.
Ok after a little poking around, it seems the Mobile virtual network operator info is a double-edged sword here. By default on Sprint, it is set to None. By setting it to GID, you are unmonitored, but UDP does not work. Once I remade it without MVNO set, I connected to Discord voicechat just fine. Then some updates ate all my data.
I'm not sure if removing xcap from the APN Type list had any affect, but I both added it back in and removed MVNO before I ate all my hotspot.
I rebuilt it again without xcap or an MVNO, but the damage had already been done and I'm throttled. I'll be back with an update at the start of my next billing cycle (or sooner if things start working in my favor!)
Edit: Also, any changes seemed to kill my MMS. Swapping back to default immediately downloaded the message. hmm...
Edit2: oops! So it's important to note that there should be no spaces in your APN Type field. It's not a valid character, so nothing after default was loaded. Nice. And MMS is back as well. Still throttled internet, but at least one thing is resolved...
Did the most recent update break this method?

Here's my update. Once I rebooted everything, I was able to get highspeed hotspot back. It has been working ever since, just not UDP things still like Discord voice chat or Roblox.
Further update, Sprint has increased all hotspot allotments to 20GB for 2 billing cycles. We'll see if this gets pushed out. If you don't use any more than that, then don't worry about this process for now (always good to know things though).
My method:
- Manually copy over all settings (write it down so you have it because a profile update will wipe new APNs)
- add ,dun to the end of the APN Type line.
- copied the APN Name exactly, but added a 2 to the end (I don't think this matters, but just in case!)
Weird note though. I downloaded a game off of Steam on friday. While downloading, I would periodically check the My Sprint app to see if my hotspot usage moved. It did, but in an unsuspected way. After downloading the first GB, my hotspot usage would say "Used 0.0001 / 20 GB" and would tick up similarly for each GB downloaded. I paused it to make sure I didn't get any "used 75%" texts or emails, but they never came. So after 18GB, it said "Used 0.0018 / 20 GB", or 1.8 MB...how strange...

Sorry if that was misleading. Your original APN from Sprint should have said "default,mms,xcap,supl" so you will still have to add all that and add dun to the end.
