Just got a V20 from AT&T and loving it so far. I'm trying to get usb tethering to work (I want to pick up wifi with my phone and then use usb to get it to my computer). It works through data but not wifi, I keep getting an error that says there is a temporary network problem that is preventing the enablement of usb tethering function. Do I really need to root my phone to fix this? If someone could atleast point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it, I've googled quite a bit and can't find a clear answer.
Maybe other AT&T customers can jump in... but I believe they want you to pay to use your phone as a hotspot. Verizon is the same way.
I'm pretty sure you'd need to root to get around that... if you could.
Is it still considered a hotspot if I'm using it through usb? I dont understand why AT&T would expect payment if Im going through my own internet and not using data. And if I need to root how would I go about doing that? Sorry for the noob questions but I've never done this before and all the threads I've read confuse me more, I'm not sure what I do and dont need
I could never find a good way to do this on other devices, even with root. I've spent a lot of time on a solution on this in the past, and I don't think it's something that's easy to do. Have you been able to do this with a different device?
Also, are you on an unlimited AT&T plan? I've heard that just about everyone on that kind of plan can't use tethering. Sleazy, I know, but they're trying to pressure people into having any reason at all to switch to a tiered plan. Kinda like this!
Regardless of what plan you're on, I don't think that USB tethering option will do what you want. It's very restricted in that it needs to be using your mobile data. Back when I had a rooted phone, I could never find a way to do what you're trying to do - using the phone as a network adapter. But I can almost guarantee you, whatever solution you find is probably going to involve root.

You can't yet root an AT&T phone because the bootloader is locked.
If you're trying to set up an OTG arrangement, that should work. I haven't seen much discussion here about OTG. With the micro USB ports on older phones, you needed a special OTG cable. I'm not sure about the USB-C port whether a special cable is required.
But if you're trying to use your phone as a modem or a router, I believe your carrier has you by the short and curlies.

I don't know if your phone will have this option. I don't know if it'll make your phone do what you want it to, but here goes.
Settings>Developer Options>Select USB Configuration>RDNIS USB Ethernet.
It's all I've got.
So you pretty much want to use USB tethering, but instead of using data from rmnet_data0, you want to tether data from wlan0?
If you want to use tether with AT&T while on a unlimited data plan just install pdanet+ on your phone and computer. It also has a feature to create a hotspot from your laptop. Until we have root this is the best solution for tethering.

Exactly. Basically use the phone as a wireless network card. I appreciate all the help but nothing I can find has worked so far. Seems ridiculous that this isn't easy given all the other tethering options that work fine off cellular data
I don't have unlimited data... using data is not an option for me

This was supposed to be a quick temporary solution - just moved in to a new house and not getting internet until monday, I have this fancy new phone with usb tethering options and a friends wifi to connect to.... Figured this would be quick and easy. Especially annoying if it's true that [email protected] are going out of their way to block wifi
PdaNET should work. I've used it plenty of times using the wifi hotspot, but since Android 7.0 isn't supported with it, it does say it has to be USB or bluetooth, but it should do exactly what you are looking for. I don't know what the "unpaid" version limitations are as far as the USB connection goes - it had a timer on the wifi aspect to reconnect and things, so I just bought it and never looked back. No root required.

I don't think that is what he is looking for.
The phone has several network interfaces. Carrier data should be transfered over rmnet_data0 and rmnet_data1, wifi is transferred over wlan0, and native USB tethering creates rndis0. Now when native USB tethering is used, data from rmnet_data0 and/or rmnet_data1 is routed to rndis0.
OP wants to connect to a wireless router (wlan0) and route that data to rndis0 (USB tether). Theoretically, it should be possible but no one has done it to my knowledge. It would undoubtedly require root and I don't think AT&T V20 has been rooted yet.
Ah, my bad. I mis-read the initial post thinking he just wanted to USB tether his computer in the standard data fashion. In that case, I got nuttin.

so several seaches later and I am in a deeper hole than when I began. I've had the Mogul for a couple years now and it's time to upgrade, but I haven't really kept up on my mobile game and now am considering the Hero, but I can't get a definitive answer to whether tethering is available.
Sprint's sales dept. told me 1. I can't tether with my current plan. 2. no Sprint phone can tether...."can I be transferred to technical dept. please." So his response was YES, the HTC Hero might be able to tether, but NO, no Sprint plan covers tethering.
wow.
so here I am, asking you guys, can I:
1. tether with a Hero?
2. is it covered by an unlimited data plan?
In a nut shell, if you want to tether, you'll have to do some modifications to the hero to get it done, or pay for the app that gets the job done.
As far as tethering plans, yeah we're phasing out the tethering plans. The idea behind that is to move people into buying aircards and what not.
So lets recap; technically yes it can tether, but sprint is phasing out phone as modem.
Does that help?
Yes you can tether. You just need to root your hero which you can do easily using the fresh ore kitchen look in the stickys posted for roms. Also the fresh modaco ttg or gbhil rim they all have wireless tether built in
Seriously, yes, seriously.
Well of course Sprint will tell you you can't. But you can... either wirelessly or wired
Several searches later?
Hell, like 6 threads below this is a 3 page long thread full of ppeople saying ways you can tether.
The Hero for Sprint supports tethering out of the box, kinda. Install HTC Sync from the memory card, this comes with the tether drivers you need. If you go to sprint.com/download you will see that, "HTC Sync™ lets you synchronize Outlook and Windows Address Book (Outlook Express), contacts and calendar events on your PC with your phone. It also lets you install third-party Android applications on the phone, and the Mobile Network sharing function as well." Install HTC Sync, after install with phone plugged into USB via computer, go to Menu>Settings>Wireless Controls, all the way down to the bottom is a new box to check, Mobile network sharing. Check it. This will create a new device on your computer, which you probably will get an error with install due to lack of drivers. Go to Device Manager, it's something called Android Phone I believe, install new drivers, pick location for drivers, in the folder HTC Sync there is another folder called HTC Drivers. Guess what's there? You got it. From then on, all you have to do is plug in your phone via USB and check mobile network sharing.

If this works for you, I'm pretty sure you're the only one (with the exception of those using the "Race" condition to enable it)
Sprint disabled tethering this way.
There are three ways in which a user can accomplish tethering, none of which are officially supported by sprint.
1. Wired - Do as you described and use the "race" workaround. This requires you to disable the mobile network, then reenable both mobile network and mobile network sharing fast enough to trick the system... Requires absolutely no modification from the stock form, just patience because it often/usually requires multiple tries to get it to work.
2. PDANet - Download the App and go for it. A good wired solution, but comes with a 1 time cost of $30 to buy the App.
3. Wireless tether for Root Users - requires rooting and only works via wifi, turning your phone into an ad-hoc wireless connection. This is the most common solution, but some people have issues due to it being an ad-hoc connection, and many companies block connections to ad-hoc networks.. So if you have a company issued laptop, it might not work for you.. Also not recommended if you don't have a way to plug your phone into an AC outlet, as it absolutely destroys your battery life.
Anyone disagree with this rundown? I think I covered the bases.

Hi everyone,
Title should be pretty obvious.
I can't use Wi-Fi tethering because my work laptop doesn't allow me to connect to AdHoc networks (I'm assuming so at least because when I try to connect it tells me I'm not allowed to connect).
Anyway, I've searched around and most require you to install software, which is fine (ironically enough), but they want you to pay. Honestly, I'm not going to pay $10 for something I used to have for free on my WinMo phone and have for free with Wi-Fi (yeah, I'm cheap).
I'm currently using EasyTether Lite, which has been good so far, but it does mentioning purchasing the full version.
Does this mean it's trial based like PDAnet (what I was using before)? I need access to secure sites (VPN and such), so if this is not going to crap out on me soon, I'm fine sticking with this.
Otherwise, where can I find a free USB Tether program? I did find this thread, but it's asking me to install a bunch of stuff, and I'm hoping for a simpler solution. If that's the only way to do it for free, I guess that's what I'm going to have to do.
Thank you.

There is another way, fyi. P3Droid has a 3g wireless hotspot hack. It is not ad-hoc. It turns your phone into a real wireless modem. It is at MyDroidWorld. Try it, you may find it works. http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/android-hacks/5156-tbh-droid-3g-hotspot-nvram-hack.html
Is there a way to plug our phones into tablets and use the 3g service from our phones to our tablets.... Sorta like a modem for on the go.. Instead of using wifi tethering? Not sure if it's been done or not thought it would be a good idea tho
Do a quick search, it has been discussed extensively in other threads. You can use PdaNet Tablet if your phone support bluetooh.
No. Simple answer.
The 500 does not have this capability, Because it doesn;t have the radio to accommodate it.
Physical limitation
so my best bet for Internet on the go is tethering from my phone?
If you want to connect your tablet to a phone you will need to root your tablet.
The tablet doesn't support Ad-hoc connectivity out of the box. Many wi-fi hotspot features on phones use Ad-hoc to connect.
I also remember a while back I was trying to see if I could connect my stock Tablet to the personal hotspot of somebody's iPhone 3gs (connects via bluetooth) but it didn't work. I remember rooting the tablet and installing Thor's ROM and found out that now I could connect to the personal hotspot. Not sure what was in Thor's ROM to make this work though.
And as another poster said, you can try pdanet if you have an android phone. I tried it before I had an Android phone and it wouldn't work (even though the phone still had pdanet on it), and have not tried it since because my phone has wifi-hotspot.

Depends on your phone really. Android is easy enough rooted + wifi tether for root. Non-smartphone takes a little work, but isn't that bad. Check tut on getting usb to 'dumbphone' modem working. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1452800

This is huge for me. Is there any other way of getting free unlimited wifi tether on this phone without rooting it first?
I have found a way to use WiFi tether, but you need a few things.
1. FoxFi/PDANet
2. Laptop
3. Micro-USB cable
4. Phone
There is a work around for Wi-Fi tether though using FoxFi/PDANet. It requires a laptop though. When you use USB mode, connect it to your laptop and then when you right click the pdanet icon again there's an option that say "WI-FI share". Click on that and then it'll give you an option to set up a router name and password. I don't know if only certain laptops are capable of this, but I have a Dell 15R and it works just fine. At least then I can connect to my tablet and old s4 that way.
Your phone will need to be connected to your laptop the whole time, but at least you'll be able to connect to multiple devices at the same time.

There are tons of apps in the Play Store that claim to give you wireless tethering without root. Some of have worked in the past for me, but someone will need to test them once they get the device to know for sure.
I am a bit confused. Doesn't the phone come with a hotspot already that can be used? Someone clear my befuddled old fart brain for me?

USB tethering works on Foxfi. I use it on my turbo all the time. Just have to install the companion app on the laptop/computer.

But then that means being physically connected, right (never tried it, but assuming its "usb" tethering a cable is reauired?
Oh, and subscribed...refuse to pay Verizon an additional $30/month for the very limited amount of hotspot I use especially when my average data is less than 20gb/month. The only reason I keep unlimited is some heavy months I use 35+gb's and unlimited is future proofed, share everything bs is most definitely not.
I can confirm FoxFi does work via bluetooth. If you're using the free version it limits you to either 30 minutes or 1 hour at a time but I believe the paid version is completely unlimited.
I've tried just about every tether app in the play store and I can't get any of them to work. I've tried USB, bluetooth, and wifi. I think my problem is on the computer side though. I'm running the brand new Mac OSX 10.10. Are you guys that have tether working using Windows? I think Windows is more easily supported with the tether applications.
I have gotten this to work via pdanet+ on a windows 10 preview computer via USB, I really can't wait for this thing to get unlocked.

How to bypass hotspot Throttle Confirmed working. Update 12/19/2017
For anyone wanting to use Unlimited data on a PC or Laptop "because we the people shall take BACK control of net Neutrality by Force"
1. Download your favorite VPN. Make sure it has a RELIABLE network Lock. (Vypevpn, ExpressVPN seem to work)
2. Go to regedit, and change default TTL to 65. (google this)
3. Disable IPV6 on wifi adaptor.
4. Reboot PC.
5. Reset hotspot, reconnect, then enjoy "true unlimited" on America's Largest throttled network.
For those that have a rooted Android tablet or other device: (vpn isn't required.)
1. Change TTL to 65
2. Disable IPv6 on lan0 interface (most devices).
Side note: You must setup network lock in VPN and have it enabled at all times, and you must not use any data/internet without vpn otherwise Verizon may detect the connected PC as tethering. If this happens, disable/re-enable wifi adapter or hotspot and retry. You may need to reset hotspot after install and setup of VPN. You can reset either the hotspot or the adaptor both seem to work.
If this has worked for you please consider liking this, and sharing it. Post any questions in the thread and Ill assist.
It seems you have to have all these going, as Verizon is using a variety of DPI, to detect tethering. They are inspecting TTL hops, sniffing packets, as well as checking browser headers and ip's being accessed. This is why these methods of hiding tether usage is required. Verizon is also throttling Instagram, and a few other non video streaming sites i have discovered.
Now to add, I recommend if you are actually gaming, and VPN performance is bad, feel free to disconnect the vpn and make sure the internet is set as metered connection in Win 10. Although the Throttle will kick in, your latency will be low and your gaming will likely be better, as gaming typically little bandwidth. If you are downloading huge patches, torrenting, netflix etc. then use the throttle bypass method.
I will post a youtube video soon on how to bypass. It seems any VPN that has a fallback network lock works fine.
*Verizon has been confirmed to block: Samsung Cloud
*Verizon has been confirmed to throttle: Netflix, Youtube, Instagram.
Update. I figured out how to bypass it. They are tracking hotspot by TTL. I will upload a guide on how to fix it to bypass TTL.

I don't think they only track it using TTL, though I wish it were that easy. They utilize multiple methods for detection, including a type of deep packet analysis. I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on this though, as in, where you planned on taking this in order to bypass TTL detection. I've been working on a little project myself, though it's still a cluster of theoretical data I have compiled and a few scripts written in hopes of bypassing throttles.
Hi, it seems like the 600k throttling is intermittent. I changed my ttl to 65 on pc and it seemed to have worked, now I'm slowed again. I also noticed that the throttling only happens after a couple of minutes after a device connects to my hotspot, not immediately. I saw this when streaming YouTube on a tablet. I am thinking it's not at the device level, and there is something other than ttl or even packet inspection.

No, that's the deep packet inspection doing it's job. Do you happen to be rooted? If so, you can add net.tethering.noprovisioning=true to your build.prop, which may or may not help. If I recall, you may be able to add it using adb without root as well.
There is another way that it may work, but it's far more complex. It requires you running an ssh server and a vpn, I haven't tinkered with it myself, but I'm familiar with networking and quite certain this would be the way to go if you're up to the challenge. I recall a few people on reddit discussing it (maybe in the r/hacking sub?), if you wanted to look around on how to accomplish this. I'm on mobile or I'd find some links for ya, but depending on how tech savvy you are, it's not too complicated (though it's much easier to accomplish on a linux distro).
Good luck and let me know if you figure anything out!

It seems almost as if they are checking if multiple devices are hitting the same IP. I have been running YouTube full 1080 on throttled hotspot for an hour. It seems that they are doing deep packet inspection on their end because my device is not rooted and unlocked stock s8+.
If anyone can try the same setup (make sure your VPN is running on a different port,) I will probably get a router to host VPN on. Even better would be if it were possible to funnel all VPN traffic including hotspot through the same tunnel on Android.
Edit confirmed working hotspot unthrottled on port 2018.
Time to get the word out. I'm going to post a guide soon.

Great. A guide would be perfect with this because I'm not sure how you managed all of that. That and the only PC I have is a work PC. Let us know when the guide is up.
I don't think you can bypass our throttle lol. I've tried a few things myself.

I wonder if this method works for tmobile.
I'm not sure about hotspot, the TTL hack seems to be hit or miss, but I have been bypassing throttle on tether with FoxFi. I know, I know, people have said it doesn't work on Nougat, well I tried it anyway and have unthrottled speeds, using QH3 unlocked stock firmware and Windows 10.

Check the xda T-Mobile forum, I believe they have an unthrottled method already, one of the easier ones I've seen.

I wasn't able to locate it. Do you have a link? Is it on the S8+ forum or another phone?

At work, so can't look right now, but Google "tmobile truly unlimited data tether xda".
Should be on the first page.
Okay, so I found a way to bypass the throttle (sort of) on my home PC. I purchased samsung dex, and connected my monitor and sound system. Now i can Netflix, surf, trade and download all I want. Not a total solution, but for now, its pretty usable (except for gaming). F U Verizon and all USA carriers.

Those are the details, though I'm not sure how or why the Dex would help bypass the data usage.
Interesting...

Because, its not tethering. Its the actual phone running the Monitor, keyboard, mouse and speakers. The new generation of Computing baby.

I figured it out...sorta. USB tether via PDANET registered so not crippled to PC. That connection is 'shared' with the normal LAN. That cable is moved to the 'Internet' port on my router so it can feed other devices. So the PC is the middleman here so to speak.
** No throttling!
Cons...
**PC must be running
** charging only from USB cable so unable to use my QuickCharger 3.0

Can you explain this to someone who is computer literate, but completely phone/networking illiterate? For example, I'm not sure what you mean by "via PDANET registered." I've never tethered before either, but I've seen that as an option when I plug USB into my computer, so I think I can figure that out at least.
I'm stuck in a hotel for a month for training for my work and the hotel internet is awful (only .2 down) so I decided to pay up for Verizon's unlimited data plan and hotspot it, but now I've hit the ridiculous 600k throttle.
For the record, I have with me my laptop running Windows 10, and my phone is a Samsung Galaxy S6 (purchased at a Verizon store).
The worst part is I was really hoping for an ethernet port in this hotel room but there isn't one unfortunately.
Edit: Just realized this is under Galaxy S8+... My mistake, I found this thread via a google search. Not sure if you can help me or not since my phones an S6, but would still appreciate any and all help.
