Hi! I edited my phone's hotspot settings using "settings put global tether_dun_required 0" on the adb terminal to bypass the tether cap my carrier set on the phone, after that I wanted to change the APN settings to add the ",dun" thing, but it was blocked. How can I edit this without root? or do I really need to edit the APN settings for the dun=0 thing to work? Do i need root for the "settings put global tether_dun_required 0" thing to work?
how do I know if the adb thing worked?
I have tether unlocked, I just want to bypass the gb cap.

I think you can download adblock plus apk from their site. Then go to your network settings and change the proxy for your APN to localhost and port 2020. You might need to create a new APN and copy over the settings since they won't let you edit the original APN
edit: I just did this on my T-mobile S5. Installled Adblock plus from https://adblockplus.org/en/android-install
Made a new APN and copied over the settings (original APN couldn't be updated). Then added localhost to proxy name and 2020 to proxy port. No ads anymore. No root needed

if u set proxy, unable to connect wifi at all.. not working
Thanks for the info. However, I followed the steps you listed.. It didn't do any harm to my note 3.. But I'm still getting the same ads when using showbox (that was my reason for wanting to block ads). Anyone know what the issue is?
Thanks
Just got my S7 and I'm on PE1...started on PF2, but had trouble rooting...not sure if it was because it was midnight when I started or I missed a few steps. The process went much better this morning.
Anyway, when I did ##DATA#, hit edit, typed in MSL, APN settings, APN2 LTE internet, my APN type was also grayed out. However, @Soooperstar sent me the hiddenmenu folder with the apk and odex. This may only work on Sprint ROMs and not the U version (feel free to try though).
Get a root explorer and go to system>app . Copy the hiddenmenu folder to someplace on your internal or external storage. Take the contents of the attached Zip and copy them into the system hidden folder. It should replace the old hiddenmenu.apk and oat folder. Permissions should be set correctly. If not, the hiddenmenu.apk and oat>arm64>hiddenmenu.odex should be rw-r-r . The directories should be drwxr-xr-x. But they should be fine if you copy and replace/merge.
Reboot phone
Go to phone app, and type ##DATA# (##3282#). hit Edit, type in MSL, APN settings, APN2 LTE internet, APN type....you should be able to now edit those and add the < ,dun >. You'll have to do it for both...APN2 LTE and APN2 EHRPD. Then go to settings>Hotspot and Tethering> and turn it on.
Someone test this method. 1 of 2 things caused my hotspot to work...I think it was this though. I just received my phone yesterday and it shipped with PE1 and my hotspot didn't work before this and asked me if I wanted a subscription.

Yeah, theory 2 does though. You can edit telephony.db with sqlite. That should work.

i tested both these methods. nope.
i first did the hiddenmenu.apk swap which looked like it just rewrote the APN's in the MSL section but they were still uneditable.
tried to change the apn in the Telephoney.db with sqlite editor and it looked like it changed but they system never saved the settings. still got the Hotspot subscription prompt.
i Tried the Bypass by activating the hotspot and connecting a device before it detects the hotspot is on But it never will stay on and always gives an error message. i did get it to stick once but there was no internet connection when it did.
it was rooted and have since unrooted the phone and deactivated it.
Have we made any progress here?

What you need to do to get tethering on Nougat is root the device (temporarily at least), enable tethering and then (if you want) unroot it so that everything is back to normal and you can take OTA updates and use Android Pay without any issues.
All you’ll need to enable tethering on Android nougat is TWRP recovery installed on your device and the latest systemless SuperSU zip to root the device. (Always remember to backup your system just in case)
How to Enable Tethering on Android Nougat
Root your android running nougat
Edit build.prop file: Add the
net.tethering.noprovisioning
line to the bottom of build.prop file on your Android device. (Download Build Prop Editor from the play store if you don't know how to get to this, I suggest Rom toolbox as it has build.prop included as well as terminal emulator which you will need for the next step. LINKS BELOW)
Reboot device after saving changes to build.prop file.
Download/install a Terminal emulator app from Play Store (I used the terminal emulator included in ROM toolbox but you can choose whichever you'd like.) You also you WILL need busy box installed to be able to execute this line.
Open Terminal emulator on your device and issue the following commands one-by-one:
su
settings put global tether_dun_required 0
exit
└ Grant root access to the app when asked.
Reboot device
DONE!
If you wish to unroot now you can. I have not tested this so can't confirm if works after unroot (since I love having ROOT) but jyst go to
SuperSu settings full unroot. Restart and you should be good. This should renable android pay. If not don't ask me to help as I don't use android pay nor wish to unroot my own device.

Did you make sure u granted ROOT permission for the build prop and terminal apps? You also must restart in between the build prop and terminal commands. You also need busybox installed with root permission this was mist likely the reason it didn't stick. I've updated the OP along with links. Please let me know if that helps. Last note make sure everything is up to date.

hey no problem im glad i could help and that it worked. i think if u pay for a service they shouldnt limit you so much on using it
I think I might have spoken too soon. Is this for the Virgin Mobile or Boost Mobile J700P? I have Virgin Mobile and I keep getting the "you have not subscribed to this service" window. It stayed on for a few minutes but the minute I went to go connect my smart TV to my hotspot, it turned it back off.

Did you make sure with build.prop you entered the net.provisioning line in "value" and not name? I'm using boost unlimited $50 plan but should work for virgin as well. Did you unroot? Are you using magisk or supersu?

Hmm try using a vpn. Nordvpn is having a 7day free trial right now. Reset your network settings, repeat the steps above. Before you turn on the hotspot shield turn on the vpn and after connect try it. If you still get the notification then its something installed on your phone from VM that's monitoring your usage which is most likely. I recommend switching to boost. Their 50$ plan is pretty good. Great coverage in my area and surroundings. I use about 200-300gb torrenting and tethering a month and they don't seem to care. Using a vpn I get about 2mb down consistently except during peak hours. Anyways let me know about the vpn working or not. Hopefully it's that simple.

Thank you. I'm definitely going to switch. I don't know why I'm paying $60 for "Unlimited" data to use only with the phone and they expect me to pay an additional $10 for only 2 Gigs of hotspot. I hardly use any of my phone data. LOL. Maybe I need to check prices of wifi internet for the home if they even have it in my neck of the woods. Thank you so very much for all your time and help. You're the bestest. Happy Holidays.

Yea I hear you. My $50 plan comes with 8gb hotspot buti tend to go over that...WAY over that lol. Currently torrenting 8 pc games lol. Side note though on this plan. You get 23gb a month "prioritized" connection meaning full speeds always. After that your put on the back burner during peak times or in other words when your tower your connected to is busy. Doesn't happen often it seems and I live in the middle of a decent size city so if you're not in say Houston or new York I'd say you won't have anything to worry about. I'm sorry I didn't fix your problem and I wish you the best. Happy holidays to you as well.

Did you type each line and hit enter(return) each time? Such as "su[enter]" starts another line "settings put global blah blah[enter]" it will start another line "exit[enter]" u may need to type exit again after this. I had to. So 2 "exit[enter]"
I used an alternative method I found here awhile back.. install APN backup and restore, convert it to a system app (important, use apps2sd or the like), backup your apns then edit the backup file, add ",dun" to each apn in the APN backup xml in the "type" field. Then go back into the APN backup app, delete apns and restore the backup you edited. There's a full write up here around the just forum somewhere with more details. It works great, may have to restore your APN backup if you update prl.

Does this method still work for you? Now when I use my WiFi after my 8gb limit it goes to boost homepage on connected device ?
Does this work on the j700t1.
I'm going to try it when I get home but I'm just curious if anyone got it working on the metro pcs variant.
Tab A 2016, stock ROM, unrooted.
Any way to do this?
The "adb shell settings put global guest_user_enabled 0" does not appear to work on 7.
Thanks
