Hey guys, I'm new here but I have some (nooby) questions. I'm currently using an iphone to tether my laptop using web2go from t-mobile. I got a g1 from someone and of course rooted and started tinkering with it so that I could get web2go to work on the g1.
My question mainly is if I port over say another android based os, like the droid eris os that is available, does that change the way the phone interacts with t mobile? Or would t-mobile still recognize the internal imei and not care about the os and settings? I'm mainly asking if I can port over another os onto the g1 so I can tether like I currently do.
I know there will be the people who say just buy the more expensive plans, but if I could I would. I'm tethering with these phones because I can't afford real internet!
Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
Tmobile will recognize the IMEI although I have used the wireless and wifi tether's both and not had a problem on Tmo.
wait you use the 9.99 web2go? What settings do you use? Because whenever I try it has trouble "finding internet connection" or whatever. although technically the internet should still be coming through right? It's just being subverted by the g1's software that requires the higher tier services?
If its rooted, just use the wireless tether app. You can find the link here and put it on your SD card. Download Linda file manager from the market and use it to install the tether apk. From there, you will change your phones 3G or Edge signal into a wifi one that your laptop can use. You can use that on any rom, and it doesn't matter wether its droid eris or stock. The only thing that tmobile can see is your imei and your radio version, not the rom.
ok I will try this tomorrow and get back to you. Thanks for all the help
well I tried it real quick right now and I guess I forgot to make clear whats going on. When using the G1 as opposed to the iphone, the web2go subscription gets subverted. So while web2go works with a proxy on the iphone, on the G1 it does nothing.
I have the tools to tether except the G1 / T-mobile subvert the internet. I wanted to know if this was based on imei or on a software lock. Because I have heard of people using their G1's with web2go I'm assuming it's a software lock. So if I use a rom of an os that can run web2go, will I be able to use it? or will the imei lock it out?

there's only really two different os versions. well, more, but two popular ones. 1.6 (donut) and 2.1 (eclair). does the g1 have a data plan? does it even have 3g? you say you just got it, so if you don't have 3g, there's nothing to tether. as for it not working - if you're rooted it will work. there's also a app on the market (for now) called easy tether. just use the free version.
edit: read top post more clearly - no. you can't tether if you don't have 3g. if you can, it's new to me.
one more edit: you can do what my friend did - take an old satellite dish, hardwire it to a router, and just connect a lot of wire clothes hangers to the satellite's receptor or.. er... thingy and steal wifi for like miles. ha ha.
The thing is web2go is a data plan that can access unlimited 3g through a proxy. T mobile wants users to use their strict g1 data plan, so any other data plans get shut off. I'm wondering if it's imei or software. If its a software lock then I can just install a different rom I'm guessing.
When I tether with the same data plan on my iphone i get edge speeds, the main reason i want to get the g1 working is so i can get the 3g speeds
Ok, then try this. Go to the tmobile.com website, sign in using your number and password (or create an account). When you get to the screen that shows you a picture of your phone, select the option right under the picture that says not my phone, then select any other 3G capable, non android device. That should put you in the clear for a few hours/days/weeks/months, or whenever they decide to check your account.
Ok I tried it but it still didn't work. I'm starting to think it might be the g1 software which is helping shut off the Internet. I'm going to install a new rom and hopefully I'll be able to set the settings for t mobile. Will keep u guys posted
So do any of you lovely gentlemen or ladies know a good app for tether with TMobile carrier?
I got a dealer plan (unlimited data, text, 2000 mins). Its suppose to have tethering but it does not. I asked my friend who use to work there (that is how I got the line) and he said that the tethering was on my plan as it is with every other dealer line. I wasnt sure at first since I was on an iPhone and he said since my iPhone wasnt a TMobile iPhone that was why the tethering wasnt working. I then switched to Android LG G2 not to long ago, TMobile official, and still doesnt let me tether. Official app and everything. I would tell him to check the account and fix it, but he doesnt work there anymore :crying: lol. I tried clockworkmod's tether and it works, but it only works for 10 mins at a time then i got to restart the app on my computer. I want to tether so I can use my data instead of my home internet since im always lagging when I play games or surfing the web by my siblings. Been going on for a while and this is my last resort. :|
So it will be greatly appreciated if I can find a good tether app that works all the time so I can use the internet again and play some League of Legends lol.
Thanks to those who try to help, they shall receive a thanks.
I have the opportunity to buy a Sprint LG G2 but would like some input from this community about the WiFi tethering capabilities of this device. I currently have an LG OG and there are issues with the WiFi tethering on it but I also have an LG Nexus 5 that runs WiFi thethering flawlessly. Since this device is said to be similar to the Nexus 5 I was hoping the Wifi tethering worked well on it also. I use FoxFi WiFi tethering app on most of my devices. It does not work on the LG OG however. I just basically want to know which tethering app works and which one doesn't.
THANKS!!
Sprint completely blocks all tethering access. Even through foxfi and open garden etc. You have to pay for the tethering service. The mobile data is indeed truly unlimited but the catch is its LIMITED to there mobile. As far as I know there is no way around it unless you root the device your wanting to tether but I'm not even positive that will work.

Thanks for your reply but apps like FoxFi allow you to tether without being detected for tethering. You still are deducted for data usage but not tethering. I was mainly asking if tethering apps work on this device because the one I'm getting is on Boost mobile, its not 4G but their 3G is good and for the price its actually great. So, if someone with this device that is rooted would kindly install Foxfi and tell me if it allows you to tether it to your PC I would appreciate it very much....Thanks..
Right I tried it on a unrooted Sprint g2 and I couldn't find ANY workarounds at all. That's what my input was on so yea. Someone else will chime in for you your welcome.
In order to get tethering working on the G2 for Sprint you must be rooted. Instructions are in the sprint develolment forum. Tethering apps do not work. The method is to modify the stock tethering app. Its the only current method available.

I know how to root this device and understand that it needs to be rooted to use wifi tether to make it work. I had a feeling this device had the same problem as the LG OG on tethering....I have TrevE's WiFi Tether on my OG and though I can get internet connection and download regular files, for some reason I can't download torrents and I've tried every setting combination possible. I was hoping this device had the same system as the Nexus 5 and not the OG..
Its titled "native hotspot" cant post links right now. short on time. As far as torrents go all sprint has to do is block torrent sites, and ip addresses associated. If you have tethering and cant do torrents... its likely blocked on sprint's side. Btw, downloading torrents via mobile data is a bad idea and I strongly advise you dont do so for many reasons.

Thanks, I'll try to find the post...I've used wifi tethering on a few different Boost Service (sprint) phones with no problems what so ever....if I used FoxFi Tethering App. I can usb tether using PDAnet and it will work but most of the time I need to be able to use WiFi.
May I ask exactly what your concerns are about downloading torrents via mobile data? I've done it for a couple years now without any problems...
Update: I looked it up and it looks good except that I won't be able to update the Rom at this time...
I dont have concerns about torrents, but you should. Frankly, if you dont know why or havent researched it, Im not one to tell you. Good luck.

Well, I appreciate all your input anyway....I just have to believe there is someone on this forum that has their device flashed to Boost that knows what I am talking about.
I do know what you are talking about. I have a G2. Ive used pdanet and alot of other tethering apps. The thread I pointed you to is the only way to tether on the G2 right now on Sprint, period. There are no other known mods or.apps for tethering on the G2. If that mod will work on Boost I have no idea and I assume there are very few that have a g2 on Boost, if anyone does.

I didn't mean to make it sound like I was saying you didn't know what you were talking about, I apologize if it sounded as if I did. I was just hoping someone here had theirs on Boost and was familiar with how tethering worked on it. From what I can tell reading that thread and the thread on the Rom you have to have for the tethering mod, its pretty stable and the features are good too. I have been trying to figure out what to do because I have the opportunity to get a G2 or HTC One for the same price and am having a hard time making up my mind on which one will work the best for me. I prefer the G2 for its hardware but the development is better on the One. I really appreciate your help though, as I have said before....
If anyone knows a workaround please share. The Note 7 had a glitch when using WiFi sharing for HotSpot to work. I hope one of you smart people find a way. I need it for work.....Only reason I root is for battery life and hotspot......Man I hope we get root or HotSpot working. Thanks !!!! Never had an LG before and this thing is a beast !

Do you have issues with the V20? Do you have tethering in your mobile plan? Are you using it on AT&T?

Yes At&t......I will need root then because I'm unlimited data....This sucks......If I want to use my data by tethering, I should be able too. This is dumb
In the same boat with Verizon on unlimited. Foxfi works, but only via USB (cable connected) or Bluetooth (slow ~1 Mbps). I love this phone, but miss being able to use the Hotspot for the rare times I need it.
I believe there is a beta feature on the pdanet USB client on the PC side that will allow a hotspot generated from the computer attached via USB. Clunky but better than nothing if you have other devices that need access to the connection in a stationary setting for now.

Thanks for the help ..WIll use FoxFi / PDA USB with cable for now. Good looking out!!
I'm really looking forward to a solution for this. I've been holding on to my old S5 since I haven't been able to find a newer removable-battery phone that allows for rooted hotspot usage on the old grandfathered unlimited plan :/
Now that we have root, I wonder how we can enable this?
I use to just change a couple of numbers in buildProp on other phones (Rom Toolbox .prop)
Any help would be appreciated
EDIT:
Found the below info but I don't think it will work. I DID NOT try this but it is tempting.
4. Connect your phone to your PC and issue the below commands:
adb shell
echo "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true" >> /system/build.prop
adb reboot
5. Now, install Terminal Emulator app from the Play Store [HERE] and launch it.
6. In Terminal Emulator, enter below code one by one:
su
settings put global tether_dun_required 0
exit

Yeah I'm not entirely sure how we might be able to get it to work. I've tried adding dun to the APN - edited the build.prop and added the lines you put above into the build.prop file. Those worked to no avail.
I edited the line inside build.prop "ro.build.target_operator=ATT". I changed ATT to "OPEN", and that did happen to allow tethering. But from the devices I connected to my phone - they were unable to connect to the internet. It was almost like ATT was blocking service of tethering. I didn't try to do all of those edits at the same time though. Perhaps maybe then?

Yeah I tried using all three of those methods - but it seems like only the method of turning the ro.build.target_operator to OPEN avoids the "Authorizing" screen and lets the Tethering turn on. But while the phone is still able to access the internet, the other devices cannot access the internet - having DNS issues.
I'm curious if perhaps the "system/app/Entitlementcheck-" app retrieves a token to allow other devices to connect, and using "OPEN" makes it so the entitlementcheck application is not even used. Not sure entirely how it works. I've seen in other device sections, such as the Pixel, where someone edited the phone's own entitlementcheck app equivalent to let them use tethering (here). Not sure if it would be possible to something similar here.

I am on sprint. And i rooted my v20 phone. I am on unlimited also. But sprint gives me 5gb tether for free on my plan. Then they slow you down. The built in tether did not work after root. So i had bought a app called Wi-Fi tether router. And it works.
Re: Work around
Were you able to find a way to root the LG V20 or find a way to get around the tethering and hotspot block/ authorization??? Please Help !! I have no idea how to root but I heard there is a minor root I can do but not sure how to do it and DEF dont want to mess my phone up.... Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

I just did this and you solved one of my pet peeves but not my tethering issues.
The phones still connect to my phone however they have no internet while tethering.
What you did solve is (by changing the prop to NAO vs ATT) is removing the annoying carrier name on the left side of the screen and also removed the annoyingly large ATNT 4G symbol. Instead its a neatly placed, small 4glte icon.
This issue is still persisting even after changing the tether enforcement to 0 from 5 in the system xml
Hi guys, my wifi tether router app worked fine on my moto g4 plus with android 7.0. Right now I bought sprint moto e4, rooted it, tried to run tether and it didn't work....Is there any way to fix it and use my moto e4 as a hotspot?
Thank you and appreciate any suggestions.

Does it hide hotspot traffic from sprint? My hotspot is working ok, I just need to use my phones unlimited data as hotspot...
I am on Boost Mobile which runs through Sprint. Does this code work on this version also? I am doing research before I get the phone. Want to be able to use the phones full potential as soon as I get home with it.
And also is there added code for unlocking the data speed cap on the hotspot? I do know about FoxFi and like the way it worked on my friends 1+. was using my hotspot from my old phone only getting around 100kB/s on a couple torrents. when he plugged his phone in to my computer it jumped to 100M/s. I would love to see these speeds from my phone.

Good to know. Switching from MetroPCS right now. with them blocking the hotspot usage on their new unlimited plans I had to get FoxFi and was only able to use bluetooth tethering to access any type of hotspot. Rooted my LG Aristo from Metro and hadn't really had a chance to play with the code, only pushing out 10mb/s at peak down and 1mb/s up.
Just to be sure where to put the code, where does it go? This will be my first actual build.

I tried this code and it doesn't seem to work, or may be it will prevent sprint from throttling after I reach my hotspot limit? my data still counts towards hotspot limit.. Currently I am 2 gb, the limit is 10, lets see what happens after I reach 10 gb...
I also have working wifi tether router app on this phone which really hides traffic from sprint, but unfortunately download speeds are very slow, about 1-2 mbs, while actual speed is 50-6- mbs..
@amarc78 does this bypass the 8gb limit?
BTW I did notice that because Boost has an allowance, foxfi is just a placebo effect. It shows up how much data is used. It may look like it is using its own, but it shows up in the process that it mainly just turned the hotspot with a diff password/SSID

I did find out that BT tethering works with a phone that uses a WiFi source and makes the phone become an extender/repeater. But only with BT.... (Not using phone data) I can prove that BC my J7 has no data and used my neighbors WiFi on it connecting my BT enabled devices to the J7 using my neighbors wifi

I got the notification saying I reached the 8gb hotspot limit before I added those prop lines and I haven't had it again and I've used a lot more than 8gb. It doesn't stop normal data usage notifications though.

Ok, so I ran out of my 10 gb and speed dropped down to 32 kbs..the trick didn't work, however, changing apn type to "dun" works fine but you get slow speeds, 1-2 mbs on average. Currently, I started to use wifi tether router which gives me same slow speeds of 1mbs-2 mbs while phones speed is 50 mbs, and I don't understand why. I had moto g4 plus before and it worked perfectly with high speeds. I tend to think that sprint's rom is responsible for that. Do you know what can be in there that limits the speed of wifi tether router? Also, I think may be I should try to flash unlocked xt1768 rom which doesn't have sprint's **** in it, will it be possible? Appreciate if someone could give me a clue, thanks!

I used FoxFi/PDANet+ for a long time to stop MetroPCS from seeing my USB tether usage, but the app suddenly stopped being able to run 'pro unlocked.'
I started using CWM's Tether Android app (and their Windows accompanying app) on my old G3 and now on my E4, and it works just as well. All traffic seems to appear as if it's only going to my phone. I've never had a slowdown or anything while using it.
It's limited in the free version, but only a one-time $4.99 US for the full... very worth it, I'd say. I was happy to pay it.
There's another app called EasyTether Pro (US $9.99) that I playex around with. It's got a couple more options (e.g. connecting by Bluetooth), but I figured I could make do with the cheaper option.
My go to method is to use PDANet/Easy Tether on a windows PC and run Wan Miniport on the PC to make the rest of the house have WiFi normally I use it as an extender, but it works also to run without hotspot usage so it makes the PC the hotspot instead..... Provided you have the time to use it

Well, I used Wifi tether router before as a hotspot and had wifi on all my devices, now its just too slow.....Those apps are good if you connect a phone via usb. I want to have my additional phone as wifi hotspot....Thank you for ideas though, I 'd like to know why speeds are so slow... There should be smth that limits the speed of the app...
