State of the hotspot address - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers

Hello all and happy new year. Santa didnt give me the hotspot mod i asked for, it seams, although there is a lot of (mostly not working) info hear on how to obtain it. My question is this: do any of you out there actualy have a working hotspot mod running? If so, are you rooted? What firmwear are you using? Are you on stock rom, echoe, or u rom? How did you obtain it? (A link to the method will suffice for this last one). Thank you.

Mine works on stock OEM rom wondering if its gonna work on nougat

[Q] D2 flashed to Mobi..cannot root or put custom rom?

Hi everyone! This should be a pretty simple question...but it is a bit beyond my current understanding level...
I have a droid 2 with 2.3.4 and the 621... I just got it flashed from VZW to Mobi PCS (i wanted to do it myself, but i could not find the PRL SID/NID, MDN/MIN etc on the internet anywhere), anyways they offer unlimited data..which is SWEET! Currently everything works as it should..SMS, Data/Web, Voicemail, Calls, and text messaging.
However, I want to tether via wifi without paying the $15/month extra fee. I understand from my research on this forum that rooting and getting a custom rom would solve this, BUT..the guys at the "unlocking"-store told me that I will have issues if i upgrade to 629, put a custom rom, OR if i root the phone...?? I'm certainly not an expert with androids YET...but it seems as long as I back up the APN's (and put them back after rooting/flashing new rom) nothing else should get modified during rooting or installing a custom rom...is that correct???
Or am i missing something? If so, can someone tell me what other settings or files i need to make backups of before i root?
THANKS!
Also, I hate to ask NOOB questions when i could go searching for the answer...but if someone could also tell me the best rom, kernel, and easiest root method...haha!
Well...thanks to sd_shadow and his expert knowledge...i am rooted! -now its time to bootstrap and see if custom roms will work for Mobi..or if i will lose any functionality.
edit-->NICE, installing CM7.2 did not alter any of my settings for Mobi..everything works! AND, 3G has less lag! SWEEEET!!

[Q] LTE Support on Rooted Note 3 Ireland

Hi all,
First of all I'm sorry if this isn't the right place for this thread, it just seems like the related threads are in this forum.
First of all I have the international unbranded version of the note three (SM-N9005), which I rooted in order to use VPN. I did this using the chainfire method which of course tripped the knox flag, I'm not griping about that because I don't really care about the warranty, just giving facts.
This then prevents the phone from checking for updates properly saying "device has been modified" or something like that.
I'm on three ireland and they very recently switched on 4g/lte network support but you need to accept an ota update to enable it. Therein lies my problem, I can't accept an ota update.
I would have no problem unrooting to accept an update, but that doesn't reset the knox flag and my phone will still show up as modified and considering the amount of effort I would have to go through to unroot just to end up on the same situation as I'm in already is not worth it.
I have tried the viaero 4g toggle app but this just gives a black screen for me. I also tried the persist.radio.lteon.xml fix but I couldn't find that file to change the setting. These solutions suggested here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2468624&page=2
So my questions:
Is there any way to flash some sort of firmware unofficially to give lte support?
If I flashed a custom rom would that give me lte support? Or do I need to flash the official 3 Ireland lte firmware first?
If that will work, can anyone recommend a rom to install?
Finally has anyone managed to get themselves out of a similar situation yet?
Hope somebody can help,
Thanks for reading
Barry

If you reflash back to complete Stock your status will show Official, also you can try a custom ROM, ALL of them are capable of getting LTE by default. I have no issues with them.

Thanks for the quick reply radicalisto, to be honest I'm ready to move away from touchwiz so a custom ROM sounds like a good solution to me. Choosing one is the conundrum. Are any of them more stable/full featured than the rest? I would appreciate any advice about a ROM to choose.
Well to be honest, custom ROMs are trial and error, but the new Kitkat ROMs are awesome, I personally tried them all and have settled on one (won't say which cause it may sway you haha) - however these are TW based ROMs.
If you are on 4.3 still and fancy CM11 -- Two ROMs you should try are temasek's CM11 + Yank555's kernel (amazing pal) - Or ProBAM with Yank555's kernel (Just as good as temasek's) both are packed with great features, awesome battery life and generally just great. However you may or may not know, CM doesn't support SPen functions, you'd have to use GMDSPen or another alternative.
EDIT: Little side note, again not sure if you are aware.. if you flash Kitkat 4.4.2 your bootloader upgrades so you cannot use CM, as it runs on 4.3's bootloader, there is no downgrade option either currently.
Not that I'm so concerned about the CM bootloader using 4.3, but would I be safe in assuming that the CM team will have to eventually switch to the 4.4 bootloader?

Well you're allowed to tell me as I was asking to be swayed...
I'm thinking I'm going to try x-note first as it seems to be the most popular and I'm guessing it's that way for a reason.
Yeah CM team are working on it now from what I have read, I'm using X-Note V.8 with CivZ KatEngine 2.0 kernel

Bobcat roms unrooted?

Hey guys,
So I've been playing around with my Galaxy Note 3 Canadian version and found bobcat is my favorite rom, it prompts me to update the rom and flashes the phone. Everything works great, install was a little tricky cause it's not as strait forward as it could be. But I guess Iinstalled kernel back onto my phone with the bobcat rom. And now my phone iisn't rooted anymore but am running bobcat. So I try and run towel root but it says it doesn't support my device even when I go threw and change all the codes for devices. So wanam exposed doesn't work and I can't customize or use the hotspot service. (as my service provider doesn't alow me to and that's why I wanted to have a custom rom in the first place it bypasses it)
Any tips or help will be much appreciated u have also done a root check and that came negative too.
Thanks in advance

Which first?

Its been a few years so i was needing a refreshing (& though simple question, i cant seem to find exact answer).

Thank you for your assistance

You always have to root first before you are able to install a custom rom. That said, to the best of my knowledge, there aren't any custom roms available for the SM-T337A. Unfortunately, AT&T and Verizon lock the bootloader on their devices now. This means that you can't have a custom kernel or a custom recovery. Since Cyanogenmod and similar roms based off of it require a custom kernel, you can't have any cyanogen-type roms. That said, a stock based rom (anything capable of running on the stock kernel) should work fine, but as I've said, to the best of my knowledge nobody has made any roms like that for this device yet. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

That sucks. Guess I'll have to be satisfied with just rooting it and maybe a different stock rom, if any available.
I was just searching on here & I'm not sure what instructions are the ones I need for this tab. I saw where someone says they tried towelroot & 1 other but did not work, & other similar posts, then find several posts mentioning that they have rooted it, so I'm not sure what way DOES work to root it. (I also found on another site, which I don't know if Im allowed to post the external link, "Working Tutorial How To Update/Upgrade Samsung SM-T337A To Android 5.1 Lollipop!) Needless to say Im a little unsure of what method I need to root it. ANDROID VERSION: 4.4.2 BUILD: kot49h.t337aucu1ank2
Also Is there a alternative stock based rom (with tutorial) you might recommend ?

All you can do is try towelroot. If it comes back as failed, then oh well, it doesn't mess anything up. Towelroot will only work for kernel dates before July 2014 I believe. There are NO custom ROMs, no recovery, no alternatives for this tablet. No developer interest, no carrier support, so no android version beyond 4.4.2. We have been abandoned by AT&T with no way of getting any updates ever again because they locked us out. So we are stuck with a worthless pile of crap tablet that gets more laggy by the day. No more carrier variants of any device for me ever again. International only.
rootng that works

Downgrade

Hey all!
I have a very simple question:
How do I downgrade Leon LTE marshmallow back to lollipop? And where I find proper stock rom? Been googling this one few days now.
Rooting does not work. At least I haven´t found solution. Would be more than happy to root this piece of **** and install custom rom.
Please help! I need wifi hotspot back!

OK I´ll answer to my own question. I found official firmware (According to forum guidelines I cannot post links but send me pm if you need it) and then flashed it with LG Flash Tool. Now back in Lollipop and everything runs smoothly again
