Phone restarting when attempting to run Wifi Tether Router app - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers

I just recently rooted my phone in order to use the VPN and Wifi Tether Router app method to unlock unlimited hotspot usage. I have confirmed that the phone is indeed rooted properly using the checker.
When attempting to enable to router app, while I am getting the "enabling.." sequence the phone freezes and then automatically resets its self. Any thoughts or questions I can answer to be more helpful in the troubleshooting process?
*Edit:
I have configured the router app according to the website.
I used the root method as given on https://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-s7-edge/how-to/root-s7-s7edge-oreo-nougat-t3819616 by @jrkruse

[Q]Unlocked Nexus 7 with 4.2.2 - Re-enable adb through NRT plus other stuff

Hey everybody,
I recently acquired a Nexus 7 tablet that came with 4.2.1.
I used Wug's NRT to Make a back up, Unlock it and then root it.
Few minutes later it asked me to update to 4.2.2, but silly me didn't think further on the consequences so I updated to 4.2.2.
Now I lost root, adb is offline and I can't use the NRT to install TWRP and restore to my 4.2.1 version.
I've ran NRT a couple times and even reisntalled the drivers to see if I could be able to do the previously mentioned operations by selecting "Any build" on the Root Toolkit but all my attempts have been unsuccessful.
So, my question is... what exactly am I supposed to do to get adb online and then root my device again. I already have the bootloader unlocked.
UPDATE: Well it may have been a driver problem since I'm using Windows 8. I switched to a Windows 7 computer and I was able to do the process flawlessly!
--------------------------
Problem number 2:
My Nexus can connect flawlessly to my home WIFI network, but when I try to connect to my school's public routers it goes on loop saying "Optaining IP..." , "Connecting...", etc.
I have tried switching the options to Static IP and putting in an IP (Say 192.168.1.50) and I can connect to the router, but I have no access to the internet.
This leads me to believe that this is a problem with the Gateway and DNS fields.
For DNS I left it as it was (8.8.8.8) and for Gateway IP I input 192.168.1.254 but I wasn't successful and I still couldn't connect to the internet.
Due to the fact that I was able to connect to the router, I believe it's not a problem with the Nexus' chip, I also think that the router configuration does not need to be edited in any way.
I believe it's the Gateway and IP fields that need to have the correct information, the problem is, that I don't know where/how to obtain that information.
When I checked on my home network and switched to Static IP, I saw how both Gateway IP and DNS were 192.168.1.254.
Maybe if I switch those addresses to that it'll work?
Also, I've been reading around that people have this problem mostly with 4.2.2. Do you guys think rolling to 4.2.1 will fix this problem? I rely on my tablet a lot when I'm on school and It would be a pain to have to go through the tedious process of finding the Gateway and DNS IPs of all the modems around the school.
Thanks.

Hotspot with NG2
Trekky101, did you have success with the Galaxy Tools app? I am not having success with it.
When I click on the Enable Native Hotspot button, the phone reboots.
When I click on the Wifi hotspot settings, that is just taking me to the Sprint phone settings. When I turn on wifi, then it is telling me I need to contact Sprint.
I think I need to enable the wifi hotspot in the regular Wifi Hotspot Settings, but it does not stay on due to the contacting Sprint Customer Service.
It seems the manual says to enable it and then press the Enable Native Hotspot. That series of steps does not seem to work.
My phone is a S4 with the NG2 build.
There is a working hotspot for deodexed ng2. But before you go flashing an entirely different rom, make sure you have busybox installed (search for it on the play store), this could be causing galaxy tools to not work.

Hertz,
I had the same results the first time I tried with the Galaxy Tools, until on the second try I unchecked the "auto reboot" then hit the "enable native hotspot" button, then restarted (rebooted) my S4 manually (power button)..
I had already gone to Settings/Connections/hotspot the first time and configured my SSID name and password, so I just went back to Settings/Connections/Hotspot and turned the Hotspot on, and it worked perfectly...!
Hope this works for you!
PS My S4 is the NG2 build also...

The above thread is closed. Where can I find native hotspot enabler for NG2?

NEWLY ROOTED G530T1 (Need Help Pulling Stock Metro ROM)

I flashed the T-mobile recovery to my G530T1 and have no problems with the ROM except the WIFI & USB Hotspots not working. I managed to circumvent this with PDANet and Hotspot Shield. No bueno, I'm already tired of not being able to use my stock WIFI Hotspot. The USB one is great for hiding data usage and not counting towards your hotspot data, but unpractical when only usable on one device.
I work for metroPCS and have a stock rooted G530T1 with CWM. How would I go about doing a full ROM backup of this device that could be flashed to other devices. (Like the one I have with the OH9 T-Mobile ROM)

Im looking into this now as well... I believe first step is to gain temp or perm root... Then install a terminal app.. then run some adb shell commands...

...like that
If any one knows how to get a temp or perm root... I would be happy to work on compiling a backup firmware... as i will want one myself!

Hello folks,
i have been using moto x play since 5.1.1 and right now i am on 6.0.1 but i am unable to use my wifi tethering,
it is working on cm roms but not on stock roms, any help?
p.s. i have XT1562 (INDIA UNLOCKED DUAL SIM EDITION)
I have this exact same issue.
When I try connecting my laptop to the Hotspot, I can connect successfully but the laptop cannot access the Internet.
I tried to ping google.com servers continously using the -t parameter. I am getting Request Timeout in most cases, a few Destination Host Unreachable.
Have tried to do what is suggested in the following thread

But no use.
Any help is appreciated!
