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.

Ideas for Unlocking Bootloader & CWM/TWRP for LG G2?

This is a thread to see if anyone has ideas on Unlocking the Bootloader & porting/creating CWM or TWRP to our device? Any ideas are helpful and welcomed.

I'm not to sure, I know you need the bootloader unlocked for Roms and Kernels
EDIT: I thought about it and your right, you always have to unlock the bootloader before you install the Custom Recovery.

Are you sure the bootloader needs to be unlocked in order to install roms?? Thought that was only for custom kernels. Moto devices have always had pretty locked down devices, yet had recoveries and ability to install roms, if I remember correctly...

Why should I unlock?
The explanation to this question is really simple. If you want root, you’d be wanting to flash Custom ROM post-root, and if you want to install a Custom ROM, you’d need to have your stock bootloader unlocked. In simple terms Unlocking the bootloader allows you to install custom Firmware on your Android phone
Warning: Unlocking your phone’s bootloader voids its warranty. It also completely wipes (formats) your Android phone’s internal memory including applications, contacts, SMS and MMS messages etc.

kexec is required to flash a kernel.
Safestrap is a way to flash somewhat custom ROMs (without kexec you need to use stock kernel) without recovery installed but it needs to be adapted to each specific phone. Right now I think they are working on a version that will work with the S4, not sure how attractive the G2 is (or will be).

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2443165 <---- these guys are the ones who worked most of the magic for Optimus G (and Pro?).

You guys first need Root to do anything (which i believe you have). Then you need a Custom Recovery. Installing a Custom Recovery can be accomplished via a workaround or by unlocking the bootloader. A workaround like loki by djrbliss on the Galaxy S4 which isn't an unlock but more so a bypass or like Safestrap by Hashcode.

Here is the man djrbliss.

I found it. server is chat.freenode.net room is lg-g2. Not very much going on in there at the moment.

i completely agree with the said explanation. but I'm having difficulties with my device i.e. LG G2 (D802).
I'm rooted with custom recovery TWRP and unable to install most of AOSP roms based on 4.4 KitKat. New Custom roms are coming up very frequently now for this device but so far I'm able to flash ParanoidAndroid Rom and modifited stock rom... Apart from this I always gets error while flashing the rom.
Most of the time Error comes up saying 'Status 7 Error' and 'unable to execute update binary'.
I did google on this subject and tried everything i found but the problem still exist.
I never had these problem flashing LG Stock or Android 4.3 based roms. Need advise on this subject. By the way any help on unlocking the bootloader????
thanks:good:

hotspot hack

Is there a hotspot hack for rooted mje? I rarely use unless cable goes down but it's nice to have a backup. I'll wait on rooting if there's no hotspot hack.
Or does wifi tether for root users work?

Yes there is, any of the current available ROMs have an available WiFi hotspot that works without any issues.

thanks for the reply now do I have to use a rom kinda wanted to stick with stock rom. Unless I don't have to use safe strap I never liked the idea of using up space on my device.

I'm not sure if it works on the stock ROM anymore. SafeStrap does not take up much space at all and Beans ROM is basically a pimped out version of the stock ROM with a bunch of additional features and less bloatware.

fwiw on MJ7 I have tried Android wifi tether and also that market hotspt toggle widget app (video), and neither of those seemed to work with rooted stock MJ7. But FoxFi works ($7.95 to avoid free version limitation), and so does "Tether Setting" (noboru)*. The latter is free, but only does WPA; but it requires far fewer Android Permissions than FoxFi.
Don't feel bad about being conservative. I've got rooted-stock-MJ7 in a secondary Safestrap slot and virginal (but rooted) MJ7 in the stock slot. For now, when I screw around with debloating or freezing, I only do that in a dev slot. Lame, right?
YMMV on MJE.
*for this one you might also need to use the trick where when the "you don't have a subscription for this" screen pops up, you just ignore it by using the Home key (rather than cancelling it).
.

I too would like to stick with the stock rom. I don't mind rooting, so is there an apk that I can install so I can tether?

Got my phone and tried Foxfi, and it works! I'm on MJE

I do miss Android Wifi Tether, just because it gave me a good idea of how much data I had used.

Has anyone had success using "WiFi Tether Router by Fabio Grasso" ?
This supposedly allows tethering also...

[Q] Rooting to Tether/Mobile Hotspot

Hello everyone, this is gonna super noob of me to post but I'm going to do it because I'm a bit confused.
I'm ok with the stock rom, I'm sure down the road some day I will install a custom rom or cyanogen mod. But for now I understand that rooting the Note 4 will trigger a change in state to show that the device had been rooted before.
I've rooted and installed custom roms on countless phones before, but the reason I make this post was because I achieved tethering/mobile hotspot by installing cyanogenmod, which came prebundled with those features enabled. I don't really want to install a custom rom, but I do want to somehow have the ability to tether/mobile hotspot without installing a custom rom. What would be the way to do that? Do I have to install an apk after rooting and if so, what would that apk be? (Using Sprint unlimited data)
TL;DR - Noob here trying find the best way to use mobile hotspot/tether without paying carrier.
Thanks for your time and sorry for such a noobish question.

if your rooted here's your best try

I use Foxfi. It doesnt need root and it does mobile wifi teather without carrier charge. I'm on verizon, not sure if it works on sprint.

Tethering and mobile hotspot just work when completely stock and un-rooted.... I guess if you get it from specific carriers they can block this function?

i'm on USA Sprint and foxfi uses the stock tether function so access to those function is denied unless you pay for it, which is why I have to root.

Rooted Nougat S7 - How to Get Wifi Tethering

Hi,
Sorry I'm not very tech-savvy but did manage to root my S7. I was sad when I realized S7 was Nougat as I used FoxFi on my S6 daily. So now I have a verified rooted phone but I cannot get free tethering still. I installed quite a few (ROOT) tethering apps and they all fail even after I grant root permission.
Some help please?
Thanks,
Mark

This ROM has the ability to Wifi tether already built in. It offers several versions of debloat through an Aroma installer and is basically one of the only customizable roms we currently have.
An alternative would be to backup all your apps and personal things, then Odin flash to MM and restore apps and personals. This should allow you to flash things like Xposed.

thanks but I already rooted my phone. I don't understand though, there are so many tethering apps that say "root only" but they don't work for me. Is there a step I have to do to make those work?

You either use the hybrid Rom for tether with nougat, or go back to marshmallow. Nougat doesn't allow tethering services to activate through root with the security patches and request of the carrier I believe, with exception of the hybrid Rom for u or tmo/vzw
