I previously rooted my EVO and ran Cyanogenmod 7.x successfully.
I bought the ET4G and I'm looking to root it specifically to enable the WiFi hotspot.
I've searched and searched but cannot find out whether or not the hotspot feature is enabled by rooting.
I have no complaints about the stock ROM (compared to Sense, it's great), so if I can just run a root and enable the hotspot, I'd be OK (for now).
Can someone point me in the direction of which root method to use (the latest version I suppose) and if I need a new ROM to use the hotspot or not.
THANKS!!!

Hey, i am thinking about getting a new G1..... I was reading about WIFI - Tether , it said it only worked on ROOTED phones.... If i get a new one with the NEW firmware RC 33.. Will i not be able to "root" it ? Do most applications require the g1 to be rooted ?
Thanks!!
I have successfully kept root and wifi tethering enabled since the first root exploit on my Droid Maxx and when Sunshine became available I was super excited and used it to unlock my bootloader. I then unrooted, used the OTA update to go to 4.4.4 and was still tethering with EntitlementBypass-v1.2.apk. I don't know what changed but yesterday it just quit working for me. When I try turning the native tethering on now all i get is a message that says "Error". There is no explanation of what the error is. I also tried flashing 21.11.21tether_twrpinstall with the same result. I am willing to use a rom or anything that allows me to wifi tether again, I just want to know that it will work beforehand.
Has anyone in a similar situation (unlocked bootloader on 4.4.4 rooted with TWRP installed) managed to get any wifi tethering to work?
I ended up flashing Snake's Venom 4.4.4 Moto X Port Build #96 for XT1080 and the tether works great. Here's a link to the XDA thread for anyone in a similar situation:

Very nice
Heres the backstory.... I was given (free) a VWZ Galaxy S4 with lollipop OC1. I FINALLY rooted it today (thanks to XDA and Kingroot). Here's my (2) dillemas:
1) I am using a t-mobile sim card (I have to have wifi calling here in the mountains of Oregon....there is no cell service until a 3 mile drive). I am looking to flash the phone over to a Tmobile ROM so I can use the phone for wifi calling, AND get rid of the inability to send sms messages (the problematic lollipop bug)
2) I have experience flashing ECM's (engine computers) for Mitsubishi's (Evolutions), but not cell phones. I know the premise is the same for the cars computer as it is for a Galaxy S4, BUT I have zero experience in flashing a phone. Being out here in "hill billyville", no one out here knows how to flash a phone within a 2 hour drive or more from here...lol
Do you think anyone can offer any guidance? I know I will need a Tmobile rom (i am fine ditching Lollipop for Kit kat if that is all thats available as of now.)
NOTE: I have searched the forums for a few months now, and after searching I have installed ODIN on my desktop, and installed ES file explorer, SuperSU, Root Checker, and root explorer on my phone. My developer options are "on" as well. Tutorial videos are VERY helpful and leave me with a minor headache that's completely tolerable..... :laugh::good:
My phone info:
Model: SCH-I545
Bootlaoder: I545VRUGOC1
Kernel version : 3.4.0-4584173 [email protected] #1 32-bit
Modem Board: MDM9615M
bump....anybody?
I simply want to be able to use my native hotspot to tether to a tablet, for free. I looked and didnt find any method to get this to work without rooting. But did I miss something? Do programs like FoxFi and stuff work anymore? or is my only option to root?
I looked at threads about rooting, but they all seem to be outdated, or started a year or so ago.
I have a Sprint Galaxy S5 running 5.0,can somebody link me to an UPDATED how to root thread for my model?
thanks in advance
(i am not a newb, i have a LG phone and samsung tab S both rooted, CM12 on the tablet, and Xposed and hotspot unlocked on the phone. This S5 is my friends that im trying to either get free tether mainly, or root if needed, to get the tether)
This method still works

HI i am new in this (but very good following steps and instructions )
i have a Kyocera Duraforce e6560, I have read something about rooting and i discovered that rooting is one thing and that installing a custom rom is another thing.
In my case the only thing i want in my phone is to enable the MMI codes functions and to remove the hotspot restriction (AT&T is well known by blocking the hotspot functionality of their phone if used with another network.
My doubs and questions:
Can i do that with rooting the device?
once i modify what i need to modify in order to get those functions working back again.. can i "unroot" the system back?
and if possible to remove some bloatware
can you help me to get that?
I have install first flashed twrp recovery and i flashed android recovery thinking that twrp will be removed.....
but it causes problem my Samsung star pro does not reboot.....
I found this thread while searching for a solution for the same hotspot problem.
The solution I found was the PdaNet+ app on the Google Play store. It works fine for me with an AT&T DuraForce E6560 and my Windows 10 laptops.
