USB tethering

Is there a way to enable the usb tethering on the Hero? I've read sprint disabled this feather awhile back. I'm rooted and use wifi tethering but my aunt just got a Hero (loves it btw), is not rooted and asked me could she tether. I don' live close to her or I'd root her phone. Is usb tethering a lost cause?
Thanks

you can do it on the 2.1 update (maybe just roms based off the update?) but you need to flash a VZW pri. to do so you need root? (citation needed)
i use the native tethering in cm 6.0 and it works awesomely. almost seems faster than my RoadRunner

Yes I know all is possible with flashing, which in this case is not an option. My aunt is not nearly technical enough for a root & flash.

Before we get into different prls. What OS version is her hero.

She is on latest 2.1 ending in .6

PDAnet and EasyTether. Just tell her to pick one, download it from the market, follow the setup instructions, and then tether away.

Is there any Sense ROM with USB Tethering?

[Q] wifi tether

PLEASE HELP! I can't get my wifi tether to work on my mytouch 3g. the application says its on and working but i cant get internet access on my laptop, an other devices such as smart phones can't even see it. i used super one click to root my phone and then installed the wifi tether app. i have superuser and spare parts. i have rooted this phone before and it worked fine so i know the hardware is capable. any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've never had luck in 1.5 teathering you can flash the rom I use in my signature the 1.2 version and try that...

First of all, wrong section. I'll move to General where it belongs.
Secondly, does your rom support net filtering? If you don't know then at least tell us what kind of rom you're using.

i apologize, i did not change rom. its stock i only rooted to access a minor overclock and tether features. last time i rooted my phone i used a different method and had a caynogen 6 something rom froyo lookalike . and the stock rom the root i did last time did it also. if i need to load a custom rom then please let me know which one is best for the features i need

Ask the developer of your rom if the kernel supports netfiltering. If it's pure stock then that's your problem.

Update! Just an fyi. I got it to work very nicely simply by adjusting the frequency in the application's settings.

Portable hotspot not working in 2.3.4

Has anyone noticed that it is not working on KG1 and KG2?
Just realised it today and when flashed back to 2.3.3, it works again.
On 2.3.4, able to get IP from DHCP but unable to surf.
And as far as I googled, it's probably a kernel issue.
Anyone having the same issue?

working in KG1 here

It's working on my KG2 also.

Thanks guys for the replies.
Can inquire if you are using stock or custom rom?
I am using stock rom with chainfire kernel.
What perplexes me is that it work in 2.3.3 only but not 2.3.4
Even tried it the moment I do a factory reset KG1 without root but no go.
Appreciate any advice.

Try to set the security to WPA2, I think it has something to do with your APN setting or fast dormancy setting.
BTW I'm using stock KG1 firmware with no modification and portable wi-fi hotspot is my only way of connecting to the net.

Just reflashed.
Step1: KF1 (2.3.3) - Factory reset was done. Both tethered and hotspot works.
Step2: KG2 (2.3.4) - Factory reset was done before and after upgrading. Both instances,hotspot not working. Tethered works fine.
APN settings remained unchanged. Fast dormancy unchanged (this shouldn't matters in the first place).
The problem occurs only in 2.3.4. Anyone can advise?

Have you cleared your Dalvik cache and wipe cache partition before flashing KG1/2, usually what I do is wipe those cache and its partition, wipe data/factory reset, install new firmware, factory reset again. These steps will surely wipe clean your phone.

Yup.Tried them all. Even tried overlay flashing of stock roms in hope of solving it.Just couldn't solve it.
No matter. I do with wired tethered for now. Hopefully the later roms can solve this perplexing problem of mine.
Thanks for your help.

Just tested on my GX2, Stock KG2 2.3.4 ROM and rooted with CF-ROOT XXKG2 kernel. No problems.

Then can someone enlighten why is this so?
All my tests so far are with stock roms, pure Samsung bundled apps. I didn't install anything while troubleshooting!
KG1 - i9100XXKG1
KG2 - I9100XXKG2
KF1 - I9100DXKF1
Does the country code actually makes a difference?

Weird thing.
Working fine here too, just used it last night to surf around a bit.

I've also had major issues with my HotSpot too, tried many different ROMS and Firmwares and nothing worked. My brother and I both have the same phone, purchased from NewEgg.com and believe it's the European model, I upgraded mine to 2.3.4 via stock at first, and the HotSpot didn't work. I can see the connection and connect, but no data is pushed through, and not all devices can connect, only certain ones. Then tried countless ROMS, and none of them work. But his HotSpot works, he is still on 2.3.3. So I can confirm issues with 2.3.4. I wonder if the Puerto Rico model would be any different.

To resolve this, you can flash any of the custom kernels here. They are build on 2.3.3 source and hotspot is working.

I'm currently on NINPHETAMINE kernel 2.0.4 because I want BLN support. Is there a 2.3.3 kernel that supports that?

Working on KG5, but I have to change the user agent of firefox to mobile android OS

Not sure on that kernel but speedmod's and hellcat's works for me. It stop working the moment I use the stock kernel or chainfire's.

Hi, I too had the same issue with Hotspot, but now I fixed it!
when I was on 2.3.3 (with Org rom from my provider) Hotspot was working properly! after moved to stock 2.3.4, I couldnn't use the Hotspot option. (After activating, my data connection would come and go).
As djpianz sugested, Its got to do with your APN.
What I did is, Go to APN setting, press Menu --> Reset to defaults.
Problem was solved. (I guess If reset doesn't help ya, You need to manually define your APN, Or use Titanum backup to backup from 2.3.3 and restore to 2.3.4).

There IS a Hotspot mod that works (actually TWO! - One Odex one DeOdexed) in crawrj's thread. Last few pages I tested them and they worked for me too.
If you're stock rooted (and NOT on customized stock) choose the Odex version.
It's here search for it.

I believe off a stock MK2 Sprint issues a security update not too long after the first boot that might cancel that out if you install the hotspot after the update. I can't say for certain as I was wiping and loading a few times a month or two ago when I had this problem and the only thing I could think of was to install the hotspot mod before accepting this security update. been able to use the hotspot without any problems since...

Hi, i was finally able to get the wifi-hotspot, and call forwarding settings working.After trying a number of custom roms, i finally installed - omega v19 - XXUEML6. All the above settings, which were unavailable previously are now available and working normally. I suggest, this rom to any other user, who might be facing the same issue with the sprint sgs4 model.

Just for clarification purposes, what is the issue when it "doesn't work"? It is missing from the settings menu and when used in the quick launch toggle, it says "Tethering not supported?" I have that problem myself and I do believe it came after I accidentally let my phone receive an OTA update. I did NOT install the update, but accidentally left my phone on for an extended period of time on a stock software load. I had to ODIN-flash to stock ROOTED MF9 when my dog unplugged the USB cable while I was flashing NAE modem and the phone wouldn't boot afterward.
I can downgrade the modem to MF9/MJA/MK2 and use any ROM and any recovery to wipe and the option to tether is just gone. There's a SQLite program you can download (it costs 3 bucks) to get the option back in the settings, but on my phone it won't work after being forced back into the settings/toggle. it won't allow clients to acquire an IP address. I decided to go ahead and flash an unrooted stock MF9 and let it update to NAE hoping it was a problem that the newest firmware would resolve. It did this without a hitch but the option to tether never returned to the settings menu.
Can anybody confirm whether or not this is was intentional on Sprint/Samsung's part since I don't pay for tethering? I am trying to decide if I need to spend 100 dollars on another motherboard or not so it'd be real nice to know, but nobody wants to chime in. I created my own thread to address the issue, but nada.

Yes, you are right, It is missing from the settings menu and when used in the quick launch toggle, it says "Tethering not supported?". It is intentionally locked/ removed from sprint version of SGS4.
I tried all the roms meant for sprint model SPH-L720, but none of them worked.I had almost given up, but after flashing the Omega Rom "omega v19 - XXUEML6", which was meant for european version GT-I9505, all the settings started working normally.
This works for -
Android Version - 4.3,
Baseband Version - L720VPUEMK2,
Kernel Version - 3.4.83-KT-SG4-JB4.3-TW-SPR-03.19.2014-g743b3d0
Hardware Version - L720.08
I cannot say for sure whether the same will work for you, but you can try.

Thank you for the idea. i will try soon as I get home but now looks like I gotta re-root. Not sure if I can do it the old way w/ the MF9 1-click since my download mode screen now includes 4 extra lines of text and looks like this:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SPH-L720
CURRENT BINARY: Custom
CURRENT STATUS: Custom
KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x0
CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30
WRITE PROTECTION: Enable
eMMC BURST MODE: enabled
Before I allowed phone to update itself, I only had the top 4 lines. Anybody know what all of that garbage means? IDC about warranty b/c phone's a year and 2 months old.

It means any firmware older than NAE will not work on your phone using Odin to install it. You have the knox bootloader so there is no more going backwards with the stock tar files. You can still root, but I don't think that 1-click mf9 will work for you.

FoxFi no longer needed?

I've been rooted for a while now under 4.3. I just updated to NC2 ( the leaked KitKat) and then flashed NC4 recovery and modem. I have been using both FoxFi and WiFi Tether (with root) because I have a grandfathered unlimited data plan.
I started up FoxFi to test it, but as usual you have install a private cert and that requires you put in a lock screen PIN or password (pattern no longer an option).
So after testing FoxFi...it works fine, I deleted that cert and removed the PIN lock screen....back to just a swipe.
Well...trying FoxFi again, it wants to reinstall that key...this time I said NO and backed out.
Being someone who likes to tinker with crap....I tried just turning on the native hotspot app. IT WORKS FINE!
That's right...IT STILL WORKS without FoxFi loaded. I am not going to totally remove FoxFi (yet) but strongly suspect it is no longer needed.
Again....this is on rooted NC2 leak but with NC4 modem flashed.

That's because the leaked n2 already had the tethering provisions included.

I am running the leaked NC2 rom that I installed using the instructions on this site. FoxFi does work, but only with the cert installed.
Also, just activating the mobile hotspot doesn't work for me. Still checks subscription status and fails.
