Native Hotspot on Stock [Rooted & Non-Rooted][ONLY Tested On Sprint Device] - Galaxy Note5 General

I found this in Sprint Note 4 section by @llawen, who found it in the Note 3 section and I can confirm it still works on Sprint Note 5!!
All credit goes to @idone. Not my work. Just sharing here.
You MUST BE ROOTED for this method.
Download sqlite editor from playstore (Speed Software version, which is a paid app....BUT if you know your way around that, then you're good ).
Open sqlite editor,
select files.
Then
/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db/
Select carriers.
The last 2 lines (APN2LTE internet) and (APN2 EHRPD internet) you will see (default,mms), add ,dun.
It will look like this
default,mms,dun
Make changes in both lines and save, reboot, and enjoy.
FOR NON ROOTED PHONES:
First step is to get your MSL number either by calling Sprint Customer Service, or trying this method here on AndroidForums:
[GUIDE] Easy way to get MSL without calling Sprint or using CMDA Workshop
After getting your MSL number follow these steps (originally posted by @MasterTentacles in the Sprint Note 4 Section):
Go to Dialer and enter ##DATA# (##3282#)
Press "Edit" then enter your MSL.
Click on APN Settings
For both "APN2 EHRPD internet" and "APN2 LTE internet" change APN Type from "default,mms" to "default,mms,dun"
After you enter the change, hit Menu -> Save before going to the next APN.
AND THAT'S IT!!! YOU NOW HAVE HOTSPOT!!!
But be aware, if you update PRL, you will have to redo these steps....
THIS IS ONLY A GOOD WORKAROUND UNTIL A FULL NATIVE HOTSPOT IS MADE.
Enjoy!!

as well as with any Samsung updates.

Doesn't work after the Marshmallow update from what I've seen. Suggestions?

Bypass T-Mobile WiFi Tethering Restrictions on Moto X 4.4.2 Root Req

Source for "Easy Method"
Tool Suggested: SQLite Editor by Speedsoftware.
If tethering is still working for you then you don't have to perform these steps.
I am not reponsible for any damages to your phone if you perform these steps, it's your choice, backup first.

​
You must be rooted and on Android 4.4.2 with T-Mobile for this to apply for you. This method worked on my Moto X, but may not work on other devices and software versions.
An explanation of how this works and why it's needed:
T-Mobile has had a second APN (Access Point Name) built into Android 4.4.2 called "DUN" and it is meant to be used only when tethering. It's a way for T-Mobile to check and see if you are using your phone, or if another device is using your connection. If it detects another device, it will only load up a webpage on that device that asks you to buy a Tethering option or switch to a Simple Choice plan that includes tethering. What we will be doing is removing the need for built in Wifi tethering to use or create a DUN APN, and then removing the DUN apn for T-Mobile.
Let's begin.
1. Be rooted. If you have an unlocked bootloader, install CWM or TWRP and then flash Superuser.zip or SuperSU.zip in your recovery of choice. If you have a locked bootloader and you're on 4.4.2, you're currently out of luck. You have to unlock.
2. Open SQLite Editor, grant root for it, then under the APPS list, scroll down and tap on "Settings Storage".
3. It will search for databases and find "settings.db", tap on it.
4. While in "settings.db", select "global" from the list.
5. You will see a table with "id, name and value" columns. Tap on the + sign on the top right to add a new entry.
In the name field, name it: tether_dun_required
In the value field, write the number zero: 0
Tap on Save to save the entry, then exit the app.
6. Go to your APN settings (Settings, More > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names) and you'll notice two APN's there. One labeled "DUN" and one labeled "fast.t-mobile.com." Click on the name of "DUN" and you'll see all of its settings. Hit the menu key in the top right, and choose Delete APN.
7. The "fast.t-mobile.com" APN should be set to IPv4 by default on the Moto X, but on other devices it may be set to IPv6. You need to change this to make tethering work if it is IPv6.
8. Reboot and enjoy!
Your traffic will still be monitored for tethering! You should be using a VPN, proxy, User Agent Switcher, etc. to hide your tethering more effectively.

[Q] URGENT! International Unlock NG2?

I'm leaving the country on Sunday and I need to be able to use my phone with an international SIM. What is the quickest way to international unlock it by then? I see a lot of conflicting information like I can't downgrade from NG2 or something like that. Any help?
Hope This helps.

if you need any help; please pm me, or search this site for answers. I am sure you are not the first person, to want to do this or to have this question.
Before you continue; please note that i am not liable for any damages, that may occur to any the devices you attempt this on.
To undo any and all of the changes that you are about to make to your phone(**NOTE** the following will erase all data on your phone so backup everything you want to keep.), (1) first download an app called MSL utility and write down your MSL code on a computer, or any other device maybe even pen and paper.(2) go to your phone settings hit activate this device when it is done loading do not click done.(3) click on the menu button and go to PST settings. (4) go to the ##SCRTN# menu and follow what it prompts you to do, your phone will then reboot automatically. (5) do steps 2 and 3 over again and go to the ##RTN# menu and follow the prompts your phone should than reboot automatically and now you should see an invalid SIM sign. **NOTE** any time it asks you to enter a code it means enter you MSL code. Remember to undo these steps first. (No. 2)**NOTE** when your done with steps below download BuildProp Editor(you must have root), and click on the pencil icon; scroll to the bottom, and add these two lines: ril.sales_code=LOL ro.csc.sales_code=LOL)
No. 1) = No, you do not need to downgrade.

save and reboot
with sim inside the apn should be set automatically. If not, well than google your apn, and add it manually.
done.
This is a re-post(i would thank whom ever posted this, though i do not recall where i found it.); because i am to lazy, to write it from scratch.
1. Use ssu.apk to unlock it first
2. use cf auto root to it
3 .use adb:
su
am broadcast -a android.provider.Telephony.SECRET_CODE -d android_secret_code://27663368378
UMTS -> DEBUG SCREEN -> PHONE CONTROL -> NETWORK CONTROL -> GCF
There the phone is domestic unlock without downgrading the modem.
1. be on stock NG2. ssu.apk force-closes on aosp/custom roms.
2. Run ssu.apk and do the unlock. This does not require root.
3. do the other commands through ADB(step 3 Above), just in case. You may or may not need them. I don't know why it worked for me without them. That step DOES require root.
4. Test your sim card and make sure your phone can read it, and if possible, make a call, try text/data, whatever.
You're Welcome!
I had NAE i downgrade to mdc then unlocked it and after that i download firmware which is NG2-xas i think and after upgrading its still unlock.
For that method and files you can search international sim unlock.
Its easy to do it.

Thanks so much for the quick response!
Couple of things, I actually called Sprint to ask them to unlock it for international SIMs, and they said they'd go ahead and do it. I flashed back to Stock and did the UICC Unlock thing in the menu like they told me. The phone rebooted. I think it's unlocked then, correct? If not, I'll go ahead and do this method tonight.
Also, does this phone support LTE (Is that the right term) on international GSM networks or just 3g?
Thanks!

it may be unlocked; you would not know for certain unless, you attempt to insert an international sim card.
Depending on which country you are traveling to. Some countries only have 2-G, then there is some that use 3-G, some also utilize HAPA+, and LTE. It also depends on the sim card they give to you. If the give an LTE sim card, it may work (for LTE or HSPA+). Though it depends on which band/frequency, its relying on. click here to see LTE frequency data sheet. click here to select the country you are traveling to, this way you'll know if you will be able to be on a favorable network.

I don't know if that's true. What i do know is that the last time i was in Israel, i used Golan Telecom, and i only had a 3G connection. i do know that they state they have a 4G-Lte network, but i guess i'll have to find out in a few months from now.
good luck.

Turning Hotspot On An Unlocked Rooted S7 Sprint SM-G935P

I spent a couple of days trying to find a solution for this, but I cannot. So I hope somebody can help.
My phone is rooted an unlocked.
It was once a Sprint phone.
SM-G935P
I have my own MSL code.
Many forums advice that you enter ##DATA# and tweak
APN2LTE internet and APN2 EHRPD and write default,mms,dun.
The problem is that my DATA screen doesn't show APN2LTE internet and APN2 EHRPD
All I see is APN.
When I change the APN TYPE to default,mms,dun nothing happens on reboot.
Another popular advice is that you should edit the build.prop and add
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
But that fails too.
I've tried Foxfi, but that doesn't work either.
Another option is that I flash the 930U firmware, which apparently has the hotspot feature available.
However, I'd rather not install a new firmware.
There's always a risk of bricking the phone.
It's embarrassing that I have a rooted and unlocked phone, but I can not use my phone as a hotspot. I have tried a few apps as well. They fail.
The hotspot option never appears on my Settings.
Does anybody have a solution?

You can't use that build.prop edit as that only works for aosp,cm roms. You have to edit your framework-res.apk to unlock your Hotspot. Check the xda mods guide. Requires knowledge of decompile, compiling, etc. Not sure why someone told you U firmware would Crack it as that is false... that's just international fw

Mine works. I'm using the PF2 firmware. Use root method B to gain data. Method A won't work for Hotspot. After you use method B and root your APNs will be editable

Download sqlite from the play store. Then you need to edit the telephony.db. follow this guide: https://blog.chandlerswift.com/2015/enable-hotspot-rooted-s6/
This will let you turn on the stock hotspot option

I do not understand the difference between root method A and root method B. But I'm sure I could look it up. My concern is that I don't really need help in editing the APN. I can already do that now. As I mentioned in my first post...
The problem is that my DATA screen doesn't show APN2LTE internet and APN2 EHRPD
All I see is APN. When I edit them to add dun, etc, nothing happens.
So I do not see how doing a different root method is going to help when I can already edit the APN.

APN question on Verizon LG V20. Cannot edit APN for total wireless but can for AT&T?

APN question on Verizon LG V20. Cannot edit APN for total wireless but can for AT&T?
I have an unlocked Verizon V20 and I was using AT&T and was able to edit or add new APNs. However, I switched to Total Wireless which is a Verizon MVNO and while the phone works, I cannot edit the APN for TW. I am sure I was able to do this on my Nexus 6 but I am confused I'm not able to do it on the unlocked V20.
Any ideas?
No one? Anyone?

Literally just went through this with my VS995 V20 to add the boom wireless APN. Here's what i had to do:
1. Need to be rooted. I used dirty santa root (make sure your device is compatible), i also needed to downgrade to the 12A firmware before rooting. Backup anything important before you root
2. Once rooted, install Shortcut Master from the Play store
3. Open Shortcut master, (give root permissions when asked) and search for "APN" (without quotes)
4. In the list of results, look for the first "Verizon Hidden Menu" and launch it.
5. You will now have access to "Access Point Names" and clicking the 3 dots will let you add a APN.
6. Add the APN settings for your carrier, save and select the new apn, and reboot.
Hope that helps you out, really sucks how verizon is locking phones out of this menu.
minimaru how do i downgrade firmware? and how do i do the root? i have a verizon lg v20 that is the vs99517a, i have it on straight talk and can call and text(no mms) but can not use data at all unless on wifi and there is no option to add a new APN the only option says restore to default settings.

LTE On Oreo After Root?

Ok so I use @jrkruse guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-s7-edge/how-to/root-s7-s7edge-oreo-nougat-t3819616 to root my SM-G935P on Oreo and it works great but I cannot get LTE working, Now when I rooted my phone on Android N with @godpowerrr tutorial https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-s7-edge/how-to/sm-g935p-spr-root-nougat-7-0-data-t3568780 and do the build.prop tweaks I get LTE working fine. I have tried to add the same build.prop lines to my rooted oreo phone with no success would anyone happen to know where to find the settings in the build.prop from android N in android oreo?

Try this. Go into your phone dialer and enter this secret code:
##3282# (puts you in programming mode)
Click edit.
For the MSL code, put "000000" and press OK.
On the main screen, go to MORE.
Then click HDR/1x Selection.
On this screen, select Global then press OK.
The phone will restart and should enable LTE.
Hope this helps.

If Global doesn't work, go thru the process again and try the next 2 settings.
Unfortunately I have tried that and it does not work for me.
@DirtyPISTOLA This is a step you might of missed and has been throughout my thread. (Apn settings need to be applied after eng boot is registered) I implemented these settings through a .bat file in device system/etc folder, but doesn't work for all. So if you apply the eng boot through ODIN...and upon reset... Edit APN settings through mobile networks, being;
Name: APN2 LTE Internet
APN: n.ispsn
MMSC:http://mms.sprintpcs.com
Multimedia message proxy:68.28.31.7
Multimedia message port:80
MCC: 310
MNC: 120
APN type:default,supl,mms,dun,fota
APN Protocol:IPv4/IPv6
APN roaming protocol:IPv4/IPv6
Bearer:LTE
You should be able to run SuperSU .bat file and hopefully that'll fix it. If not it's a firmware issue.
I'm not sure if this works for oreo because I no longer have this device, but these are settings needed for LTE. Like I said idk if Nougat's LTE is different from Oreo's LTE.
Build.prop entries:
ro.characterisitics=Sprint
ro.telephony.default_network=10
ro.cdma.default_numeric=310120
ro.cdma.default_alpha=Sprint
ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=Sprint
If this doesn't work try SM-G935U firmware with exact settings and steps, but change MNC: to 000.

Awesome thanks for the reply, I just upgraded to a new update that wont let me downgrade because of security policy updates as soon as SamMobile posts the firmware so I can restore if something goes wrong I'll give this a try. Thanks again.
Glad I finally found this thread, which firmware should I be on if I want to root this thing? Thinking of flashing Boot Loader 6 though again not sure.
Hey hey, I need to dig up this ghost here, cause I rooted a Sprint S7 Edge and put a verizon SIM in it, I don't have an active sprint SIM so I can't test it out, but the verizon SIM isn't getting any LTE, it just shows roaming, and no MMS messages can be downloaded. I may or may not have messed with some settings.
So, I can't edit the APN settings it's locked out. How can I either a. unlock the APN settings, or b. get it to recognize LTE networks without doing that. I've tried so many different things I've found on the forums, like nova launcher menu and going into the IOTHidden stuff to get into LTEfunctionality and that's not even there on the phone.
We're running OREO, but I just don't know what the deal is. Any ideas?

Even with the inactive sprint SIM I am given options for APN settings, I can't edit or add any, but I do have options, whereas with the Verizon card it's all frozen out
