Wi-Fi tethering on Atrix

I want to use wi-fi tethering on my Atrix4g.
my phone is not rooted and still using motoblur.the version is 4.1.83.and I'm not in USA anymore ...
could anyone help me with this issue ?

I think you will need to root your phone. For rooting 1.8.3, you'll need to use GingerBreak - which unfortunately will wipe one or both of your SD cards (internal, external), so backup first. Search for GingerBreak in the dev section.
After rooting, you can use any of the wi-fi tethering apps, e.g. Barnacle.
Without rooting, I am afraid you will be stuck with USB tethering.

are u sure that I will be able to tether after rooting the device ?
what do u mean by USB tethering?how is it related to this ?

Yes, I am sure since I did it. There are several apps in the market for Wi-Fi tethering - all of them require root. (These apps may not be available, though, if you have an AT&T SIM in your phone.)
There are two more ways to tether: USB and Bluetooth. Both mean you share your connection with a PC, by either connecting to your phone via USB or via bluetooth. Both, however, require that you install a piece of software on your PC to make it work. Also, USB tethering apps are not free. (E.g., EasyTether.) The advantage is that you do not require root.

You must have a sdcard in your phone for Gingerbreak to work. This will almost certainly wipe your internal sdcard so back up anything you want from there, but will not wipe your external sdcard. You will also need sideloading enabled to install Barnacle or WiFi Tether > GladEnabler. You will also need adb on your PC. Follow the instructions in the GladEnabler post.
1. Download Gingerbreak.exe to your PC from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046626. Make sure you get the .exe and not the .apk. Link to Gingerbreak.exe is at bottom of the first post.
2. Turn on USB Debugging on your phone : Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging checkmark.
3. Connect your phone to your PC with USB cable > wake up phone (i.e. not on lock screen) > pull down notification bar > select USB connection > select None.
4. Run Gingerbreak.exe on your PC. (Note you will not get any notification it has completed).
5. On your phone select the application drawer > scroll down to Gingerbreak > select and run Gingerbreak. You should now be rooted and can uninstall Gingerbreak.
6. To check if you are rooted use this > Root Checker
7. Here is Barnacle > Barnacle Site. Do not download from Market. Click on (or here) on the webpage.
8. Here is WiFi Tether > WiFi Tether. Download latest version.

you were very clear.n now m rooted.Thank you !

Would this work on an Atrix running system 4.5.91?

Not as far as I know. I obtained root through pudding.
Beamed from WinBorg 4G via XDA Premium

these apk's and updates work with GB2.3.5. and kernels. i have 2.3.5 and 1.45 kernel and it works for me. if any one wanted to know.

Lollipop and Tethering

For those having issues with tethering. I tested it out today and had issues. It would connect but would not resolve dns. I have unlimited tethering on Three, it's always worked until now.
Doing this resolved my issues. I suspect this issue will be resolve by Three when an official uk build is released.
This can be fixed permanently using the following procedure (UPDATE: no root required):
Enable developer mode (Go to Settings -> About phone, and click on the build number until the developer mode is enabled).
Enable USB debugging under Settings -> Developer options
Connect the device with a USB cable to a computer with the Android SDK platform tools installed
Start an adb shell: adb shell
In the adb shell, run this command: settings put global tether_dun_required 0

This fixed it 100% thanks!
Just to note, i don't have the SDK, I used the 15 second ABD installer.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979

Worked wonderfully! And I also used that 15 second ADB set up (how good is that?!)

This also disables t-mobile's tethering tracking. Nice!

I've just updated to uk build I had same problem tehething on Three, ran your fix and I can now tether and get internet, thanks

please help
I installed the 15 second adb shell and it did install. When I type ''settings put global tether_dun_required 0" it doesn't work for me. Think I'm doing something wrong because all of you got it to work. Can someone take me step by step please? I'm new to this and I use tethering everyday for my college work so please help me out guys
EDIT: I open command prompt and type adb reboot just to check if its working, and the phone rebooted so I think its working btw

Worked for me!
Thanks - This worked perfectly for me. Although on a mac, remember to use:
./adb shell
in the terminal.
I have an xperia Z3 on Three 3 Uk and tethering wasn't working. This fixed the problem.
On a mac: Download and install Android SDK tools
Locate the directory
In tools, locate the file 'adb'
Navigate to the folder location in terminal: cd /Users/(YOURNAME)/downloads/(YOUR FOLDER NAME)
Enable developer mode (Go to Settings -> About phone, and click on the build number until the developer mode is enabled).
Enable USB debugging under Settings -> Developer options
Connect your phone
Make sure the USB debugging is allowing access (tick the box when you connect)
In the terminal, type: ./adb shell
then:
settings put global tether_dun_required 0
Phone will now tether perfectly. I'm posting using my tethering right now!
Thanks runamonk99

Made a quick script based on this thread's suggestion here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3071188 you have to be rooted, tho.

thanks so much
Absolute genius, thank you

Worked great for me thanks. Z3 compact on Three UK. Used the 15sec ADB also

This method works like a charm on my T-Mobile Z3 even after reboot.

So glad I found this thread. I have a Sony Xperia z2 on three and I've had no tethering since kitkat 4.4.4. I received a replacement handset from the insurance as I lost that phone and the new one worked fine. Then came the lollipop update and I had the same problem again! After several hours of pointless phone calls to three, I stumbled upon this thread, 20 minutes later and all is working perfect again.
I used android studio sdk tools and needed to install a separate D6503 (Xperia z2) driver.

Thank you so much for this!!!! really helped

This doesn't seem to work any more, it worked for android 5.0 but just recently updated to 5.0.2 and it no longer works, anyone else tried it on the latest firmware?

Just had an Xperia update, tethering has again stopped working so looks like I need to apply the fix again.
AS expected reapplied adb patch, all is good again.

After 3 weeks of trying to fix this problem, phone calls to 3 and Sony who both were about as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike, I was just about to give up and sell my z3 (Sony wouldn't let me return it even tho they couldn't get one of their services, wireless tethering, to work) and buy a HTC one m9 (still wish I had bought one anyway). Finally I stumble upon this thread, after 30 minutes of downloading programs and doing a little bit of reading I now have my Z3s 4G connection tethered to my MS Surface Pro 3. Another ten months on the old one plan, not going to waste money on broadband till I've eaten all the data I can. Muchos Gracias ?

DNS Issue
DNS issue for me. Also can we use the stock Tether or are we supposed to use another one??
---------- Post added at 09:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 PM ----------
Stock tether app or download another one? Also does our APN need to be anything special or any other changes?? Thanks for your help. So far I'm getting the DNS issue as well.

I successfully changed the file however the mobile app sets it back to 1 from 0 everytime.

I think a custom zip file that can be flashed in recovery may fix the issue like it was done on the Nexus 5 thread for tether_dun_required 0.

XT1528 - Script to use Moto E with GSM carriers (automated)

Hi guys,
I created a batch file that should simplify the selection of LTE/GSM mode (which is hidden/not enabled on XT1528) for usage with GSM carriers. It includes ADB and the batch file itself.
Windows only guys, sorry to others platforms. Tested with 5.1, if doesn't work with other versions, just let me know to test.
THIS DOESNT REMOVE THE SIM LOCK, JUST ENABLES A HIDDEN OPTION FROM MOTO E 2ND 4G XT1528
I didnt found this, I just gathered the info and created the batch for easiest method. All credit to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e-2015/general/how-to-verizon-moto-e-2015-gsm-network-t3098953
Instrucctions:
0) Insert sim card on phone (if wasn't already there)
1) Download the attached file and unzip it somewhere on your hardrive (something like "c:\temp" for example)
2) Enable USB debugging on your cellphone.
3) Connect your cellphone to the computer that has the files.
4) Accept the RSA Key in your cellphone screen (it will pop when you connect the cellphone in USB Debugging mode)
5) Run the "gsmfix" file (either via command line or windows explorer)
6) Follow the instructions.
You should be able to use gsm signals after the reboot. Remember to add your APN or you wont have internet.
If something doesn't work, let me know and I'll to fix it fast.
Bye!

I can use on the xt1511 ? 3G ?

This script selects GSM instead of CDMA in the cellphone Moto E 2nd Gen Verizo). If your phone doesn't have the option to choose that on mobile networks, you can give it a try.
If you are looking for something that will unlock the carrier lock and allow you use your cellphone in other carriers besides the one intended, it wont do anything. For that, you'll have to buy a unlock code from one of many websites that sell that service on internet.
Bye!

So instead of doing this
5.1 Updated Instrcutions:
With the SIM you want to use the the phone :
Put the phone into Airplane mode (I'm not sure this is needed, but it doesn't hurt)
Go to Settings -> About Phone and tap on "Build Number" until it says you are in Developer Mode (~10 times)
Go back one menu, and right above About Phone there should now be an option for Developer Options, go into that.
Turn on USB Debugging
Connect the phone to your computer and type "adb shell" in your CMD window
Run the following commands in adb shell : settings put global preferred_network_mode 9 settings put global preferred_network_mode1 9 settings put global preferred_network_mode2 9
Turn off Airplane mode
Power off and Restart the phone
Open up the settings app, go to the mobile networks panel, select "Prefered Network Mode" and change it to "4G"
Input the appropriate APNs for your specific carrier
I can just run this script and I'll get the same outcome? Because I'm switching my sim card out and I heard that you have to repeat the process above when the sim card is taken out etc.

Y es, it does the same thing

I guess it's good to have one more option for GSM, even if it is the same as in the other thread.

Temporary network problem that is preventing the portable Wi-Fi hotspot feature

I get "Temporary network problem that is preventing the portable Wi-Fi hotspot feature from being enabled " when I try to enable a portable hotspot on my 6P.
I'm rooted, on 7.1.2 and have an AT&T SIM (from FreedomPop).
Many people have complained about this problem on various phones, but I haven't been able to find a solution. How do I fix this?

Answering my own question:
1. adb shell
2. su
3. settings put global tether_dun_required 0
4. Add to build.prop: net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
5. reboot

No internet from hotspot since 8.1 update

Since the 8.1 update of my MI A1 i can't make a wifi hotspot for my other devices. The other devices can connect perfectly, but they don't have internet. I use a dual sim and i have the issue with both providers. When i use the sim in a other phone i can hotspot perfectly. I found some things to remove the APN Type or fill in <blank> but that does not work either.
I installed the August patch, but that did solved the issue as well.

Hmm, when i turn off 1 sim card i have a working hotspot. No the kind of workaround/solution i wanted but at least it is something.

Try add "default,supl,dun" on APN type

Add the same issue and found the solution somewhere on the net. It's working fine since then.
1 - Put your phone in debugging mode
Under Setting -> system -> about phone, tap repeatedly on Build Number, until the prompt asks if you want to enable developer mode
2 - Enable USB debugging on your phone
Under Setting -> system -> Developer options turn on USB Debugging
3 - plug your phone into USB, there may be a popup to allow remote debugging, allow this.
4 - Open a command window, and browse to the folder where you have adb.
5 - Type the following and press the [Enter] key
adb shell
This starts the Android shell (terminal where commands can be typed), which can work on your phone.
Once in the shell, type this:
settings put global tether_dun_required 0
Press return. To confirm it worked, type this and press return:
settings get global tether_dun_required
It should print out a zero.
Then type either quit or exit

Had the time to test this and this worked @datasource. Thanks for the answer.

Not fixed in Android 9. Hardresetted my phone

no hotspot after resetting or manual dns
Hi!
Same happens to me since I bought a new sim card last week. Tried the DNS manual change to 8.8.8.8. and 8.8.4.4., re-set all wifi and data networks. Can't add ',dun' to APN type and haven't been able to access shell on adb window programme - any extra advice you could suggest?
