ROM that allows free wifi hotspot on T-Mobile?

I was using AOKP 4.2 and it worked for a bit but since the 4.2.1 ROMs have launched i get a T-Mobile redirect when trying to use the hotspot feature.

A way to get around that is to use Firefox as your PC internet.
Phones don't apply tho, there UA strings show as mobile.

Piggybackign onto this thread...
I definitely would like to be able to get access to all the AT&T hotspots that come in carrier-ridden phones. I use AT&T's service so hopefully it wouldn't be a hard thing to do? I'm assuming it's not possible.

Download pdanet, WiFi tether app, or any tethering app on the play store.

Sorry to piggy back onto this topic but is it possible on AT&T if I download a tethering app such as the ones mentioned above that I could tether my nexus 10 free of charge? (As in them not cancelling my unlimited and putting me on a more expensive limited tethering plan).

Try using a user agent switcher in Chrome. Choose the Nexus One option if it's available. It may work.

When it didn't work for me, I stopped using hotspot for a while. During that time I used WiFi to install a UA switcher for Firefox and Chrome.... Just decided to try hotspot tether again yesterday, streamed nearly a gig of videos perfectly fine

Pass tmobile unlimited wifi hotspot bloock
this is my method. others my create threads bout it,but its mine!
1.download a vpn to your phone from the market(idc what you use)
2.turn it on (go figure)
3.turn on wifi hotspot
4. on firefox or chrome (if you arent using those,get one) download a user agent switcher.
5.switch user agent to another android device,others can work,but this way is always works
6. turn off vpn.
if you did everything correctly,you can tether still. this is how im writing this
The Vpn can be optional if you already can download a ua switcher. I only used it, cause I got blocked an that was the only way around it, that I could think of.
Its by a xda membr. Nt me

the vpn or the tethering app disconnects?
have you tried any other roms? You could try making an generic apn or use the alternate gateway...
go into ur data settings then apn settings create new any name and insert the epc.tmobile.com addy
If using firefox ua switcher I used vista ua's......opera vista never failed me
are you using this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1782009 ?
it says wifif tether works and it would be best for yourself and or dev to ask in their thread because some of the settings to change may work some and not work at all for other devices...
if i were you id backup then flash other roms after posting in the respective rom thread....see if its rom, android version, all the simple stuff

I'm sorry I wont post no more threads.so everyone for my ignorant spamming.

ur not spamming by any means...its just really hard to troubleshoot unless you. have the device in your hands
good thing is if you have data then there should be a way....
what was disconnecting the tether app or the vpn app?
if tether app then one of ur settings is not right and if it the vpn then youll have to check the other free and see if you cant get any of them to work.....maybe the tun.ko installer for droid vpn but idk if that helps
can you usb tether while ua blocking?

Issues with tethering

I'm using foxfi to tether via Bluetooth and WiFi from a 4G phone.....a lot of things work well like browsing and certain apps. What doesn't work is the play stoe and certain apps like Netflix. Anyone have this issue?

Yes because when you use tether via bluetooth it doesn't recognize a wifi signal.

Does anybody know how to get fixfi working with sprint?

Native Hotspot Working

Just wanted to put this out there since I haven't seen anyone talking about it yet.
I was working with a friends ATT Note 3. I rooted it for him and then began working on modding the native hotspot. When I went to make the smali edits I saw that they were already there. So I fired up the hotspot and it worked. I am assuming this is also true if you are completely stock unrooted but didn't check first.
So if you have not rooted yet please test your hotspot and let us know the results. If you are rooted then the hotspot is definitely open.

stock out of the box - hotspot not active

That is odd. Maybe his account is messed up. Because he swears he never paid for the hotspot. But the mod which makes the native hotspot work on Sprint devices is already included in the rooted system, again didn't verify the non rooted system. So not sure what is up.

When you turn on your hotspot, if you get a message to call at&t, just press the home button (don't press ok). This should work for you, as it worked for me and many others. And the guy on the previous page that said "press the hinge button", he ment the home button.

For those that are having issues, try using the toggle WiFi hotspot widget https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fattin.togglewidget.hotspot
Just add the widget to your home screen and use it to turn on the hotspot, wait for the error message and hit the home button.

I'm using Foxfi (free) on an Unrooted Note 3.
Perhaps it isn't necessary, seeming from the conversation here?
Either way, despite the annoying ATT message, it works flawlessly. =D

Tried this widget and native tethering works with ATT. No need to freeze Tethering Provision, no need for FoxFi. Just install the widget as stated by mm3th and place on your home screen. Then press it, once the "call 611" comes up, hit the home button. You can even configure it without a problem.
Thanks mm3th:good:

Confirmed. Works and is so simple to activate and configure. Changed my network name to "click here for virus"

Wifi hotspot should work out of the box if you have any mobile share plan. The only group of people who will need any type of third party mode will be those with the grandfathered unlimited. AT&T does not allow hotspot on the unlimited.

Try barnacle wireless tether for root user's
