Yeah, 4.4 hotspot is kinda borked. You can fix it by renaming the /data/misc/wifi directory as root to data/misc/borked. For some reason, it doesn't like that directory being there. Go figure, but fortunately, intuitive obvious solutions such as this are available sometimes to resolve these issues.
Ok cool.. And is there a mod or tweak I have to install or just edit those things?

Oh, I just noticed you're referring to the stock rom. That mod is for cm11. One of the main reasons I use cm11 is exactly for the hotspot. I'm afraid I can't be any help on the stock rom since I dumped it almost immediately when I got the phone, so I don't have any experience with it. However, there is a chance it shares this related issue with cm11, so you could try it, then undo the changes if it doesn't work since it's just a simple directory rename.
Ok cool!! How do I edit it? Do I need to download root browser and what are the steps,And is cm11 stable and does everything work on it?

If you're not rooted yet, follow the forum procedures to get rooted first.
if you are already rooted, it's easy. go into terminal emulator, or get it from the play store if you don't have it yet. In terminal emulator, type:
> su
> mv /data/misc/wifi /data/misc/borked
you can undo this change later by:
> su
> mv /data/misc/borked /data/misc/wifi
the su command is necessary and only works if you're rooted. If you successfully changed the name, then reboot and try the hotspot. If it doesn't work on NAE, then I would get my hotspot from cm11 instead. If I were you, I would start with the 6/9/2014 M6 SNAPSHOT version of cm11 found on the cyanogen website since that is probably the most stable at the moment. Everything works as far as I know, but if you need the most stable, you might want to consider going back to cm10.2 because it's solid, and also has hotspot with no tweaks like this necessary. Also, you will need to obtain gapps-kk-20140606-signed.zip (for cm11), or gapps-gb-20130813-signed.zip (for cm10.2) and CWMrecovery-touch-6.0.4.7-jfltespr.img as part of your installation. Just follow the detailed procedures mentioned in the forum for installing custom recovery and roms. Finally, if you do decide to flash cm11, don't forget the mod above when you've finished, since that was the whole point in the first place
Ok yea new recovery I do have installed..

Here is the thread for a hotspot mod:

I haven't been able to find an existing post for this yet.
Is there a Download Booster mod for NI2? The existing mod that modifies services.jar is, I'm assuming, for the old stock firmware only.

Oh, I've still got all my quick tiles. Just Download Booster never actually works since the upgrade. Just like when the phone first came out, we could access the on/off button, but it didnt do anything until modifying services.jar.
Need the new services.jar patch for NI2

Thanks for the heads up.
Any update on this?
I can verify that the previous services.jar files listed do not work with the NI2 update and will put your phone in a boot loop if attempted to be used.

Heh, I figured that might happen, so I didn't try them.
I thought about PMing the original source of those files to see if they had updates or would share their methods.
I guess a deodex, edit, and re-odex would be the best option for odex/stock rom's with the NI2 update unless someone else happens to have a new one already.

I know I had seen it before in a different post, I preferred this one only because it was flashable. I'll try to find the post and link it if I can when I get the time

Has anyone figured this out yet? There are a lot of people that would like to get this working if only because Verizon shut it down.
I've not yet figured it out, nor have I done much more digging.
I hear Lollipop has it enabled. I'm waiting a bit before upgrading to that though (xposed, etc.)
Lollipop does have it enabled however Lollipop is horrible. The system lag and battery life make you go insane. The modem software make the WiFi unusable. KK NI2 is the way to go.
Sent from my rooted SM-G900V running Optimal Rom NI2.
I just updated my S4 to stock rooted Lollipop 5.0.1 from 4.4.2 and the problem is that there is no Mobile Data Toggle at all. Before when i bought it off eBay - it had it. I know this seems to be a at&t official rom thing but is there any workaround to bring it back up? I searched around but found no fix. I even tried that QuickPanel Restore thing but as it is designed for the S6, as expectd it didn't work.
I can think of 3 ways:
1. Try using this method. I used it on Kitkat and it worked great. I haven't tried it on stock Lollipop ROMs, but it might work.
Edit: After reading some posts, it seems to work just fine for many S4 users on stock rooted Lollipop rom
2. Use an app like Notification Toggle.
3. Use a custom, international base ROM. GoldenEye includes the toggles and works just like AT&T rom only faster and without AT&T bloatware included.

Yo man thanks, ill give it a shot using the first method. Funny thing is, i switched from lollipop to kitkat because of ram and now that you said it worked on kitkat for you - i got so happy lol
Edit: Yep. The first solution did! THANK YOU ALOT MAN. A simple thanks does not express my thank you towards you.
For everyone else that sees this post - The apk i dowloaded from that google repo thing kept crashing. If this happens to you -> Download SQLite Editor from here http://www.apkhere.com/app/com.speedsoftware.sqleditor
No problem! It's crazy that some carriers go through the trouble to remove a feature that was originally there
I pay for unlimited data through sprint, but this does not include tethering. On the custom roms I've used, it's always worked out of the box, but now that I'm on a stock rom, I get a 'your device does not support this service' message. What's the tweak the custom roms are using to bypass this? I've searched like crazy, and the only thing I've found is an instruction to modify a line that my build.prop doesn't have :crying:

If you are rooted you just need to add the following to build.prop (I put mine at the bottom.)
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
Reboot and profit.

No problemo, been using that build.prop edit since my first Android, Motorola Atrix.
Mine worked with out any mods for some reason I'm stock rooted Verizon unlimited plan but I will keep this saved in case I ever need it.
There is an app called Spare Parts Plus (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.droidgram.spareparts) through which we can get access to some hidden system files of android phones including build.prop file via ADB access. But that app only works on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) as of now.
Is there any app that can be used to tweak the build.prop file of S7 edge?
Any help is much appreciated.
