I was just wondering if there's some kind of mode like this one for Note 4 http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-tmobile/development/mod-unrestricted-tethering-nj7-t2921409
People reporting a lot of bugs in that thread so I'm not so desperate to try it. Also I have to use Safestrap and flash Tethering Add-On in order tether to work on debloated KK and with TMobile SIM.
Please share your thoughts, thanks in advance
not sure about tmobile, i have att, but i use the goldeneye rom and tethering works great with it just as it is.

do you have unrestricted tethering? I have no problems with tether (on stock with add-on flashed through Safestrap) but my unlimited TMobile plan blocks me after 5Gb of wifi hotspot use. I'm also not so sure if custom ROM will work for me without issues, since it should be another slot in Safstrap and I don't have much internal memory left...

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?
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...
hotspot works great till i get a phone call or have to make one,, it's there a fix for this, i flashed with twrp,,,no wipe,, tried the 1.3 ncb-deodex zip. after the,,, unlock hotspot zip, the odex one wouldn't do anything the unlock worked good but drops connection with phone calls

i have flashed two different roms and the hotspot worked great i flashed an official VANIR rom and a another unofficial AOSP ROM,calls didnt kill my hotspot,, but thd cameras didn't work in either rom,, so i flashed back to rooted stock,,really don't want a custom rom,, Samsung has a lot of good features that you will lose with a custom rom,,, is anyone else having this problem?

Please note that using the hotspot on 3G WILL stop when you receive/send a call. If you're on LTE, you should be able to use the hotspot and call people. This is NOT ROM specific.
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.
I recently got a second hand i337. it is stock and updated to the latest NJ4 4.4.4 kitkat.
Im new to all this about rooting, flashing and APKs and all that but I understand there was a major change between 4.4.2 and 4.4.4 that makes it much harder to root.
All I'm really looking for is enable tethering with an ATT MVNO (Consumer cellular). Phone works fine with 4GLTE with good speeds but it wont let me tether either natively or with any google play apps (fox-fi,etc). Consumer Cellular claims not to support android tethering but it does support Iphone tethering. :/ But the tech said if i "figure out" how to get tethering to work on the android I would be OK to use it.
My first thought was to root and install a ROM that has tethering build in. (Like CM11) but the 4.4.4 has made rooting a bit scary and adding a custom rom brings in a lot of other changes i'm not interested in. I alsore read that only touchwiz ROMS can be installed since 4.4.4 locked the bootloader. I'm OK with touchwiz interface.
What is the bare minimum mod that will enable tethering on a I337 using an MVNO like consumer cellular?

You can Odin back to NB1 (4.4.2) and root without a hitch. I'll look for a tethering solution and see what I can do to help

Thanks. Appreciate it!
Thread is getting a little stale.
Anyone else have an suggestion?
I'm interested in doing this too. Same situation. Second hand i337, unlocked and using on a MVNO. Anyone know if H2O supports tethering on their pay by the Mb plan?
