Hey guys,
Just got my phone rooted on 4.4.2 NB1 using SafeStrap and muniz' stock rooted NB1 rom (Thanks so much again if yours seeing this!)
One major reason why I wanted a rooted phone was for tethering privileges; while i have been able to circumvent at&t's wifi hotspot software, I do not have an option for bluetooth tethering. Is it even possible on our phones, and is there way to enable it?
Thanks in advance,
Constantine

First off, Thank you to all developers and contributors; I have been the beneficiary of you hard work.
I had a rooted Galaxy Note 1, with unlimited data and no tethering plan, and WI-FI tethehering worked flawlessly. I had to upgrade to a Galaxy Note 3 because my GN1 was failing. With the GN3 I no longer have the ability to tether without going to a "Tethering" plan. I see many posts on how to do this with an S4 but have not found any help for the GN3. I Am running Firmware N900AUCUCNC2. my phone is not yet rooted because my only reason for rooting would be to get tethering to work, at least until the warranty expires and Knox 0x1 is no longer an issue.
Is there a way to regain the ability to tether WI-FI devices to my GN3? I am not opposed to rooting via TowlRoot and flashing a ROM if it will not trip Knox.
I am an advanced novice at best so directions to any "How Tos" would work great for me. In this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2394438 I see references to hacked TetheringProvision.apk. Is this process applicable to the GN3?
Thanks in advance for any help and direction you may provide.
I have a SM-G900AZ rooted stock Rom 4.4.2 on the AT&T network (Cricket). The phone has tethering options removed from the settings screen in the Rom, and adding "dun" to APN settings has not allowed foxfi or PDAnet to work with the response "Mobile Hotspots not supported".
Are there Roms out there that will enable native or app tethering on this network?
Hey did you ever get an answer on this?
I have the same issue and like to keep the stock rooted rom but can't seem to find the missing part.

Hi,
Currently I have a i337 galaxy s4 which I am using with tmobile sim card. I made it unlocked by ATT before I switched to tmobile. It has baseband UFNI1 and Android 4.4.2 installed. I managed to get it rooted using the Odin software, so I can use the tethering with the tmobile.
Now I am trying to find a way to use the Wi-Fi calling. I searched it a lot and figured out that I need a tmobile rom installed but it quickly got very confusing. It looks like what you need to do also depends on what android version you are using. For some you need safestrap, change the kernel for some you don't. For some you have Wi-Fi issues and need to change the modem etc.
So, I am trying to find the easiest and safest way that will make the Wi-Fi calling work. I don't necessarily need the very latest android version or the fancy custom roms etc,I only need something that will work without any issues. I am perfectly fine with a tmobile stock Rom if that's the most convenient way.
So,I would really appreciate if someone can help me on this. It would be great to have a set of noob friendly instructions. Thanks a lot.

Hi There,
Were you able to root your device for Wifi Calling. I followed the instructions of http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...nvert-i337-to-m919-wifi-caling-t2896719/page6 and went into the same issue. After TMOBILE stock rom, the phone does not boot. I was able to install the first rom and then able to get onto the latest version and able to use phone again with AT&T latest software update (android 5.0.1). Actually, this is the version I have when I started rooting.
If you find any solution, please let me know as I am on the same boat with you on installing TMOBILE ROM using the other thread.
thanks

You cannot install a T-Mobile stock ROM to an AT&T device. Samsung has safeguards in place to prevent it. You would need to root and then install a custom ROM, which on an AT&T is difficult to do with its encrypted bootloader.
However, this is not the appropriate location to ask this. Questions related to AT&T devices belong in the AT&T S4 forums.
Hi
Just brought my Mrs, A Tab 4 Wifi edition. I want to see if it is possible to bypass the three network block on tethering.
Just recently updated the Samsung S4 to lollipop.
What i would like to use is the phone as hotspot or internet sharing for the tablet.
i hope somebody has some ideas or has been able to do this.
thank you.
I don't think the operator can even see that you are tethering to your tablet.
I've tried every route possible, creating a wifi ir bluetooth hotspot,but not possible. Get message saying I cannot tether, need to purchase a add-on.
No add on available until I upgarde.
update: just tried her sim card in my s5 which is running Phoenix Rom, tethering working fine no message nothing.
she is running stock rooted android.
It's likely the firmware was customized by Three to remove tethering. Your options?
1. Root and install a custom ROM.
2. Install the BTU Samsung firmware for the S4. BTU has no carrier branding or modifications.
I don't think changing the rom is a option coz she doesn't want to lose all her photos messages etc. Baiscally she has already TOLD me I'm not allowed to do that.
Is there anything possible I can do without changing the rom.
Unless you want to pay for the tethering, there's no way I can think of other than changing ROMs.

You know you can back them up? And even so, if you flash a custom rom, then you won't wipe the photos.
Yea I know I can back them up and stuff it take some time though. You wonder if there was a work around like a exposed or hack or something.
How To Unlock WIFI Hotspot on Rooted AT&T Galaxy S4 SGH-I1337 Android 5.0.1 Lollipop?
I am using at AT&T branded phone with Cricket service, stock ROM as far as I know. I can't find out anywhere how to unlock this Hotspot and I need it badly. None of the apps like wifi tether router seem to work. The build in hotspot worked fine on my galaxy s3 and I don't think I ever did anything specific to make it work, although it was rooted. If I need to downgrade to Kit Kat I will because I can't stand lollipop anyway. I can't even figure out how to make the flashlight work on this thing as there is no icon and none of the flashlight apps work. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Not one response? I guess I'll just try to downgrade to kit kat or something and try from there.

There is a tether add-on for stock rooted versions ending in OK2 in this thread. It's in the OP under optional.
