I have an old Huawei U8730 myTouchQ and had it unlocked a long time ago. Nice device, but only issues now are tethering doesn't work at all. Not USB or Wifi tethering is possible using their firmware. I get a network authorization error that was due to T-Mobile's device CSC. I found some notes that others have used SQLite on some devices to clear the carrier crippling, but still able to turn on the tethering. Any ideas on this rooted device to correct it? Thx.

Hello, I have a very big issue with my Note 3. I looked into the issue of Mobile Hotspot being restricted even though the phone itself was unlocked through T-Mobile's phone unlocking process.
I really need the mobile hotspot to be used freely since this phone is planned to be used on other countries outside of the United States. In some countries they do not restrict mobile hotspot tethering and you are free to do so just as long as you have the data available. Also this annoys me that in apps like Shareit, I could not use it if I don't have a sim that can use Mobile Data. That screws me up because the app cannot turn on the mobile hotspot.
Would really appreciate help on this very dire situation.
Experiencing countless bootloops already by following that framework-res.apk modding to remove Tethering provision.
Thanks in advance.

A part of your problem can be solved by the free app, Foxit. It turns on the Hotspot for tethering.
I don't know whether the pro version can solve the file sharing while using ShareIt.

Hi. Thanks for the suggestion.
Didn't work. It failed to open it saying the carrier might not allow mobile hotspot.

I've not been around for a while.
I rooted my sm-n900v, unlocked the bootloader, flashed Jasmine 6.1 and voila, the hotspot is unlocked.
See whether you can do same.
Im running stock rom 5.0 rooted and using net 10 service and am able to hot spot to my daughters tablet
Reached out on AF, but see some really model-specific discussion here, so thought I ought to ask here as well...
I grabbed my $45 Walmart Family Plan/T-Mobile ZMAX last year, and unlocked it for use on H2O.
All was well on 4.4.2. for a long time, but I did have some dropouts and 3G downspeeds at times, and thought the VOLTE and Band 12 upgrade might solve things. I didn't really need root, so just waited and considered the OTA updates.
Well, in a weak moment, I relented. As soon as completed, I found web browsing seems the same, if not a little slower, despite my seeing the 4GLTE icon more often than before, but real regret set in pretty soon after.
Now, it's stupid of me not to run it through it's paces after b33 to know if it was just this and not b34, but after both updates completed, I found I couldn't tether successfully, nor access the mobile hotspot anymore.
In both circumstances, my laptop connects, but declares no internet connection found despite the successful connection.
I've tried all the proposed setting changes mentioned in old threads despite their more being about the MetroPCS version than the T-Mobile one I have (adding dun to the APN, creating a new APN, putting it into Airplane mode before changing to either connection, etc, etc.)
As you can imagine, no success.
So, I'm desperate to know....
Has this specifically happened to anyone else?
Is there a way to recover this functionality?
Sadly, I kinda depend on this function as I have Carpel Tunnel, and using the laptop for extensive email is easier on my hands.
Thanks for any advice!
I have constant issues with what your describing and it all started with this throttling nonsense, and tmo MPcs, turning into data Nazis, on a crusade to put a limit on unlimited. Apparently the USB drivers for this device have deliberately left a few things out in order to restrict 3rd party usb tethering. The only avail USB tethering are the native tethering/hotspot options. Which once throttled start giving me network grief, usually after about an hour or so and using my phone to surf (while still tethered) that no internet exclamation disappears and I can start laptopping, not always though. Only tried and true guarantee for me is using Easy Tether Pro to emulate USB over Bluetooth which even not throttled maxes out at < 3mbps sucks but good enough for XBMC and Netflix. Foxfi has the same feature but uses the Dun protocol which doesn't work for me problems with improper installation most likely, I use pdanet foxfi for my wireless hotspot data.
Sucks just a few months ago I was averaging 275gb a month at > 50mbps with my rooted s4, now I'm lucky to break 50gb at a snail's pace

As the title states, I am looking for a way to use the "wifi sharing" feature that the Galaxy S7 and S7E's come with. Verizon appears to have not liked the idea of us using our phones as wifi repeaters, to tether a wifi signal from one to another. To be clear, I am not discussing a mobile Hotspot to tether your Mobile Data to another device, I am talking about sending a wifi connection from my S7 to another device.
Does anyone havery a work around? I am currently rooted and running stang5litre's V2 ROM. Thanks in advance.
Would likely require a framework edit or replacement (unlikely it's an easy swap) from another carriers rom. There's a tiny chance it's a system.prop or build.prop property that you could edit with a root file editor but I doubt it :/ Out of curiosity what on earth is your usecase for this? I ask this as a genuine question as someone in IT who uses hot spot all the time and I believe Sterling's rom has that enabled on non-tethered plans?
I would also like to know this information.
Could you explain "wifi sharing" a little better?
I have had Samsung phones for a while and have never seen that feature.
Wifi is either connected to a hotspot / router or peer to peer adhoc.
Are you wanting to have a internet connection from cellular or wifi or not at all?
Tagged for continued interest.
I just want to know how you rooted your phone...
I, and many others found it shocking that Huawei managed to fix the tether provisioning to where it will connect to your carrier, no matter who they are. That being said, if you do not pay for a tethering package, you will not be able to use it... Until now.
The irony here is that root wouldn't help you fix it, editing the buildprop yields no results, neither do any of the root apps like Wifi Tether Router.
I found a way to activate the Wifi hotspot without root and it works just fine. Here's what I tested it on :
Cricket
MetroPCS
EMIUI 4.1
1. Insert another active SIM(or removing the current sim and leaving it out might work too) and start the hotspot.
2. Remove the SIM tray and put in the active SIM card you would like to tether on.
3. Connect and enjoy the hotspot.
This does not mask your tethered traffic in anyway. Perhaps if you use Wifi tether router in conjunction with this FIX you will be able to mask your tethered traffic in the eyes of carriers like MetroPCS/T-Mobile. Cricket seems to not care a bit about me doing it though. You may not need another SIM card but I have not tested that yet. Hope this is helpful to those who use their phone as their main source of internet.
USA or foreign SIM
Interesting! Which SIM did you use? US or foreign?

I am using the US 32GB model of the phone. However, this should not be a problem. I am on Cricket which runs on the AT&T network in the USA. And yeah it's funny. I go through all the trouble to try to enable hotspot and then thought about my MetroPCS SIM and threw it in and it let me turn on the hotspot. Surely it wouldn't allow the hotspot to stay on while I remove the SIM, right? Wrong. hahaha
I found a simple root method that works for Cricket and AT&T.Using Root Explorer,go to System/App/ and find a folder called ATT Entitlement,long press it and move it to external sd for safekeeping.Reboot and Voila!!! , Hotspot works perfectly fine.Happy Tethering.
In chrome on your pc just install user agent switcher and then pick from the list and provider will still see Android and do what you do on the interwebs.... That's what i have done for years now to use phone tethering to pc
I'm stock frd-L04 EMUI 5 using a AT&t Go phone sim and I can use portable hotspot without doing any tricks or rooting or anything. After setting up a password for the hotspot, I just turned it on found honor 8 on my laptop entered the password and it works just fine. Unless my prepaid Go phone plan comes with tethering and I'm not aware of it but I highly doubt it.
Interesting because MetroPCS doesn't restrict tethering on any but the Unlimited plans (the $50 plan has no tethering, $60 plan has 8gb tethering) any other plans allow tethering up to whatever their data cap is. Systems will automatically sker devices using illogical data amounts from the network and systems may allow it to continue for a bit then sker out devices causing network congestion.
I can't tether on L04 with EMUI5 on Straighttalk. Rooted and build.p.prop edits, etc. no luck! Anyone else on Straightalk and EMUI 5?
No luck.
FRD-L04 B360, tried with no SIM which turned on my hotspot, but the moment inserted my Cricket SIM, it turned off my hotspot.

It works for me on L04 B360. Just keep sim tray out by 1 mm, activate tethering and immediately push back in the sim tray.

Unfortunately with Straighttalk it does not work even after rooting, editing build. prop and anything else I could find. No ATTentitle folder is present

Didn't work for me for Cricket Wireless. I'm on stock EMUI 5.0
I popped my SIM tray out, was able to turn on hotspot, but when I push the SIM tray back in, my hotspot turns off.

Hey, im interested in this method, could you explain step by step please and also, usb tether or hotspot?
thank you!
Back before I obtained a samsung galaxy core prime, I had another samsung phone which didn't have a sim card, but at the same time still had a hotspot. Of course the hotspot had no internet, but I didn't care about that one bit. What I want is the same thing as I had on this phone, without having my hotspot activated through third-party apps, but through the activation switch in settings.
I have root and I have a custom rom, yet I still can not figure out a way to activate it as it keeps on saying the same thing; " Please install sim card in order to share your phone's data connection with other devices using Mobile Wi-Fi Hotspot or USB tethering for Internet access. "
I don't have a sim, and I don't plan on getting one.
Wanted Result:
Stock Hotspot able to be activated
No Sim required to do so
No third party apps to permanently be used to activate my hotspot, just to make it start working
Key Info:
Rooted
Custom Rom
SM-G360T1 (I didn't want to say it until you would read the full post, as most people don't care about this model enough, any method is helpful, even one that works for SM-G360H)
you do know that enabling the hotspot doesn't have anything to do with having a sim?
Just go into settings and enable it bruv
?
That's not true. You DO need a Sim card to allow access to that device's Data connection to broadcast. Read and understand the question beforehand.... BTW, FoxFi ? was the application he needs to get around this issue
