I had the same issue, I ended up installing GoldenEye ROM which is stock i9505 running on a i337. Basically no carrier branding/bloat and it enables stock tethering
I tried foxfi as well and it never worked =\

I am using the paid version of pdanet which has foxfi. The trial worked so I bought it. I am stock and no root yet. Download pdanet from June fabrics.

The app "ES File Explorer" ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5lc3Ryb25ncy5hbmRyb2lkLnBvcCJd ) has a great feature that allows you to tether other devices...and works on stock unrooted so would assume it works on rooted devices.
Launch the app ES File Explorer > tools > net manager > Create a hotspot network
That's it.
Thanks guys I'm in hotel room now. I'll try them all.

How did you install PdaNet+ as AT&T has it blocked in the Play store?

I just got my brand new S4 and I already had FoxFi with the key on my S2 Skyrocket... I was about to install FoxFi and try it out on my S4 but wanted to know what type of connection worked for you using the Pdanet version... did you try the wifi option or usb/bluetooth? And did you try the FoxFi version first or you went straight with the Pdanet version?
Thanks!

Pdanet includes foxfi now. I downloaded that version from June fabrics and bought the foxfi key to give it the unlimited license. The key is in the App Store. I only tested with wifi hotspot as I have easy tether which does USB.. BT tethering is to slow for me to bother. I am rooted now and probably switching to Goldeneye so I probably won't need any tether tools.

Gotcha! I thought the Google Play warning message that PdaNet+ was not compatible with the galaxy s4 model actually had some truth behind it in that it really was not compatible and it would mess something up on the phone.
So Google Plays' warning message is just so that we won't install it... tricky!!! hahahaha!
Thanks!

ES File Explorer doesn't work. I get the error message: "Mobile data is not available or invalid SIM"
I'm not rooted and have the recent OTA update.
[NATIVE WIFI HOTSPOT]
REMEMBER TO DONATE TO THE DEVELOPER WHO MADE THIS POSSIBLE @miked63017, IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD IT ATLEAST SEND HIM A THANK YOU.
Thanks to @miked63017 CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD FLASHABLE ZIP
After you download the zip place it on the main folder of your !!! INTERNAL !!! sd card.
FLash the Zip in custom recovery,, I can confirm this recovery works well
If you update PRL you will need to reflash the zip again
After reboot your native hotspot should work
[BLUETOOTH]
I can confirm Bluetooth tethering works with Foxfi/PDAnet but your limited to around 1.4 mbps, download 'Foxfi for sprint' from the playstore, download pdanet for your computer and set it up. Turn on Bluetooth dun in foxfi, right mouse click on pdanet icon on start bar in windows and select 'connect internet Bluetooth'
[WIRED TETHERING]
Tethering via cable works with Foxfi as well at Full Speed(you must have pdanet installed on your computer as well
[WIFI WIRELESS HOTSPOT] [Alternative Method] requires no system mod just root.
Download 'WiFi Tether Router' from play store (COSTS 2.99 BUT WELL WORTH IT)
Use these settings
"Originally Posted by Vwracer69
Wifi Tether Router worked for me with a sprint S5 with the following settings.
WHEN YOU FIRST CONFIGURE THE APP IT WILL WARN YOU ABOUT ANDROID 4.3/4.4 DO WHAT THE WARNING SAYS. IF YOU MISS THIS STEP YOU MUST UNINSTALL AND REINSTALL THE APP.
For Samsung Galaxy S5 using this config
Interface wlan0
Method 3 - HostApd
Encryption wpa2-psk
Channel 1
Drivers nl80211
"HostApd Patch" <- UNCHECKED
"No Firmware Reload" <- UNCHECKED
(IMPORTANT) Must have wifi turned on but not connected to a network when your first start the tethering app and enable hotspot
If it doesn't work for you then troubleshoot here at the original thread

I have tried searching through list of processes in TiBu and freezing a few to no avail, has anyone come across anything interesting. I think we need to figure out what app does the provisioning first. It seems like we could learn this from a few recently released Sprint phones that have a working hotspot mod..

Ya I purchased that app, there seems to be problems with consistency, it also is a much more streamlined process using built in tethering
(edit)
I've gotten app to work, will post clear instructions.

I have tried everything to no avail. Please tell me exactly how you got it to work on your Sprint GS5. Thanks
Have you bought the app "wifi tether router", some people just downloaded it off the internet and couldn't get it to work(which you shouldn't do), but the current play store version works so buy it and support the dev, also did you disable what the warning told you to disable when you first set up hotspot app, if not uninstall it and start over, and also you must have regular WiFi turned on on your phone and left on but not connected to any networks before you open hotspot router app

Im guessing the days of freezing one app and hotspot works are behind us.
Posted this in other thread too:
To get the native hotspot working, you need to:
update carriers set type="default,mms,dun" where apn="n.ispsn";
in the following file:
/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
This is what worked for me on Sprint North America. Just got it working today, was trying all the known tricks including rebuilding framework-res.apk with no luck. Be advised however I first used a sqlite app from the market and it added a space between mms and dun which did not work. I installed the sqlite3 binary and did that SQL command from adb shell. Can do more of a walk through if needed, let me know. I also did a few other things, and this is what I am assuming finally did the trick, if it does not work for you please let me know too

I am also new to Sprint, is it normal for the hotspot to cutoff when you answer a phone call? Never had that on verizon so was wondering.
The wife wants the hotspot on her s5 now too, going to have to root it first but made a flashable zip to unlock the hotspot entitlement thing in the meantime. Need to have root and flash this from recovery. I have tested this on my phone where I have already unlocked it manually, and I plan on testing it on my wife's, once she charges it and I root it. Please test and let me know, I will try to update it if anybody has any suggestions.
**UPDATE**
Hotspot is now working on my wifes Sprint GS5
**UPDATE 2***
Removed zip from this thread, go here for the latest http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2727127
Doing that since I have made some updates its easier to manage in one spot.
For what its worth, I am only concerned with the wifi hotspot, but there are settings in the settings.db to enable bluetooth and usb tethering as well. I have not tested as I don't have a need for them, but if anybody is interested I can dig them up and add them to the zip for testing. Let me know...

Worth every penny, I use this on the SPH-L720T.
I am part of the Samsung beta and running 7.0 version G935PVPU4ZPLN and wondering if there is a way to use wifi tether being unrooted, even if it is a paid app. I am currently using FoxFi with PdaNet to tether via USB and it works well but would love to be able to use it as a hotspot. FoxFi tells me I don't have a Sprint subscription when trying to use the wifi function. Any other away? Or is there a way to root and accomplish this?
Anyone?

I dont believe there is any way to do it without root!? Every way has been patched by sprint unfortunately.
So can the beta Nougat 7.0 be rooted in order to use a hotspot?
XAA still on BL2 and rooted with SamFail long long time ago.
At this point I'm using root only to modify build.prop and skip subscription check on tethering since I have the old GUDP.
If I upgrade to G950U1UEU5DSC1, will I be able to use native hotspot?
I understand that I'll lose WiFi Calling. What else do I lose?
Thank you!
