I rooted my Verizon G3 only to get tether. I was going to use wifi tether router but foxfi automatically installed from my previous phone during initial setup so i decided to try it and it works. Is it because of root? I didnt get a chance to check it before I rooted because I had read that it wouldnt work so now it has me curious.
update:
Apparently Foxfi works on the G3 now. I unrooted by flashing back to stock and foxfi still works. (I had already purchased the full version when I had my note 2).

anyone out there using wifi tether either rooted or not.
I did the latest system update, rooted device and I can't get wifi tether to work anymore. Tried replacing services.jar and services.odex, tried wifi tether for root users, barnacle, and even foxfi.
Nothing works.
I know I can revert back to before system update. Just wondering if there are any other ideas out there.
Bluetooth tether isn't working for me on MDL with root. I have not reflashed the hotspot mod.

You mean MDL?
Yes, I'm on MDL.
One other note ... my phone never did hands free activation, so there are no sprint aps installed, no spritnt zone, no sprint loading picture, etc ...
I can not get hotspot mod to work or anything. Perhaps not doing hands free activation precludes hotspot from working.
I updated and reinstalled and it will connect but only has limited connection and will not work.
Earlier today my whole google voice integration got screwed up today with this system update. I had to take my phone into sprint for them to hard reset it then re-flash it and then reprogram the phone.
I have confirmation ... It doesnt work because sprint apps were never installed with hands free activation.
Nothing to do with MDL vs MDC.
I would Odin flash MDL which will load all the apps.
I redid mine and followed everything as written and it works great. I had messed it up from the first time by downloading the apps that I had before updating that had some files from old (MDC) .
Foxfi use to work, now it hows icons as if it is working, foxfi and hotspot, but if a machine is lucky enough to see it, it won't connect.
Any fixes or easy rooting for device? Tried Kingo and failed to root
I have a AT&T S5 and would like to enable native tethering. I mostly need it to USB tether to another android device. I rooted my device using the Towelroot method and then followed these directions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2791938 and installed Xposed framework to enable tethering. It all worked but Xposed made my phone really laggy. I uninstalled it and now it's back to normal performance. I was wondering if there was an alternative method for enabling tethering by like manually replacing or editing the tethering files. I saw some guides that covered this for the GS4, but I wanted to make sure whatever I was doing would work fine on the GS5/Kit Kat. Thanks
EDIT: I found these instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2784945 and that appears to have fixed it for me.
The important points:
I'm currently on full stock PG2 straight from verizon . My Wi-Fi calling works great, the phone runs quickly, I don't have Wi-Fi hotspot. I did this after giving up on a rooted rom as outlined below.
I'm on a grandfathered Verizon unlimited LTE data plan. My S5 has served me quite well and I really like it, if I can get everything to work it would be the perfect phone for me.
I would like to run a rooted, debloated, stock Marshmallow ROM for speed and most importantly for native Wi-Fi hotspot.
Equally as important, I would like to have advanced calling enabled for Wi-Fi calling on my verizon number
I searched but didn't find a solid answer. I can try going back to rooted PG2 and asking for a PRL update as mentioned here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/help/advanced-calling-wifi-calling-wont-t3411741 I wanted to get confirmation of someone that has it working first before I spend all the time going through the downgrade/root/unlock/flash process again.
My phone has a 15 Samsung eMMC. I began on stock PB1 and rooted according to:

HD video calling was working on stock PB1 and continued working after root.
Then unlocked the bootloader and loaded the PG2 unlocked bootloader according to method 1:

Advanced Calling would try to activate (I removed it from my account via the website and re-added it from the advanced calling item in settings on my phone) but it would never activate after a reboot. It just goes back to telling me I can activate it and it's already on my account and turn off my phone and turn it back on. I tried booting with no SIM card and then putting it back in. Eventually I decided that I wanted to be sure it would work so I flashed the full stock PG2 using verizon upgrade assistant on my computer. Advanced calling immediately activated when the phone was set up but now obviously I no longer have root or native wifi hotspot.
Maybe the best choice is to leave the stock rom without root and use another option (FoxFi?) to enable wifi tethering?
Help and advice is greatly appreciated! I'm still a bit of a newb.

did u ever figure it out, im having the same issue. but i have never enabled it before, so i dont even know if it makes a difference. i could get it to work on pb1 rooted, but on pf4, and pg2 it would do the same thing your describing
Hello, while I was trying to root my phone with engboot, my phone was bricked, and I restored it to 6.0.1 from 7.0 via Odin. I used the trick that allowed you to use hotspot on 6.0.1, and it worked. But then, the OTA's began rolling in. My phone upgraded to 7.0. I tried my luck to see if package disabler pro was still working, and it was. It still said that "tetheringprovision.apk" was disabled. So I tried hotspot and it worked.
For any questions, PM me
I can send you the file links to restore your phone back to!
Thanks
I will post screenshots soon!
Hey guys, This is still working with the new security update!
Mobile hotspot not working
Hello, I have a galaxy s7 active running android 7.0 on freedom pop. It's 8gb data / month for almost $40
I want to turn it into a mobile hotspot for my chrome cast. Freedom pop said tethering is allowed on that plan. I'm running on AT&T towers. When i turn on mobile hotspot it says verifying... There is a temporary network problem.
I tried netshare, pdanet+, and foxfi. None of them worked.
I also tried setting up a VPN but apparently chrome cast has to have internet
