[Q] AT&T LG G2 Tethering Help

Hello,
I just purchased a AT&T LG G2 and None of the WiFi or USB Tethering Apps that I have tried from the Google Play store work on the phone.
Is this a problem with this AT&T LG G2 phone or is there a way to get tethering to work. I am not technically inclined, just a phone user.
I would gladly pay someone to help me get WiFi or USB tethering to work on my phone.

Have you rooted your device yet? If not, then I don't know of any way to get it working.
If you are rooted, I was able to change a sql database value to unlock tethering (as I am unlocked on T-Mobile on a D800).

Hey Casey, I have the same device, looking to unlock tethering on T-Mobile as well, can you explain what you did?

OP-
If you haven't rooted or done anything to the phone then take it to the ATT store and have them look into it. It may just be a bad phone. Warranty return it.
If you have rooted (and your wifi worked before) then do what I did. Install AEON v3 in the ATT Dev thread. The tether works perfectly, just like the entire ROM. I take another step though. I use ibVPN so they don't know what my data is. I don't really think you even need a VPN because the ROM is not based on the ATT base, so it isn't even looking for your tether.

I used SQLite to modify the file: /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
In the system database there is an entry with ID: 2771, named tether_entitlement_check_state. Originally the value was set to 5 but I changed it to 0. I then rebooted and tethering was working great for me.

I just checked on my Sprint G2 and, unfortunately, there's so such setting in that DB. I looked at the other tables in the settings.db and only "tether_dun_required" (set to 1) in global and "tethering_time" (set to 600000) in system.

You will either have to pay AT&T for tethering or root your phone and install a custom rom. They have a tether entitlement check on their phones.

Any chance setting tether dun required to "0" might help? Id.check myself but im still waiting on zv8 update before I root.

I'm guessing this wouldn't do the trick, as dun is "dial up networking" I believe. I'd test it, but I'm actually unsure of how to *change* the database. It turns out sqlite generally doesn't come on production (non-dev) builds of Android, so it wasn't on the G2. I tried pushing some sqlite3 binaries I found online to the phone, but none would run. I then tried pulling the settings.db from the phone and reading it with sqlite3 for Windows. This would also let me change the setting, but I'm not sure if I could just push the settings.db file back onto the phone since there were other files in the same directory (settings.db.[some other extensions]) ... and I wanted to avoid corrupting the db to the extent that I bricked my phone (as unlikely as that may have been).
If anyone knows of a sqlite3 binary that will run on the G2, I'd be happy to give the dun setting a try (but again, I'm not optimistic this will do the trick for us Sprint users).
Also, I just got the zv8 update this morning, so you should be getting it any day now. I didn't root my phone 100%; I just copied over the g2_security file from the ioroot 1.1 zip so that adb would give me a root shell. Apparently installing the su binary and superuser.apk trips some sort of flag on the G2 that voids your warranty and may or may not be resettable.

This worked perfectly for me,however, it wasn't ID 2771 for my phone. I used search term "tether" in the system database and found the field under ID 854. I changed the value to 0 and it works great using the stock Tether application that comes with the phone. You may need to reboot the phone after making the change..
I could never get either wifi tether or wifi tether TrevE Mod to work for me.

I can now get the mobile hotspot to turn on no problem after changing the value to 0 and rebooting, but when I connect anything to it it says no internet access. I have an LG G2 on At&t

CAUTION
Be wary of this method. I'm on a rooted stock from with xposed and I got a text from AT&T after having tethered the night before. It read
"Did you know using a smartphone as a mobile hotspot requires a Mobile Share or Data Connect plan?"
Now today in the mail I received a long letter saying that if I'm caught tethering again they will be automatically charging me for the tethering plan.
In my opinion this method is no longer safe.

I also didn't have a key tether_entitlement_check_state. So I I just added a new key using a unique number (at the end) and gave it a value of zero and it worked !!!

Tethering broken (Sprint)

Hey guys,
I'm trying to get my n5 to tether and it just gives me an error as soon as I start the WiFi hotspot (stock). Any idea what could be causing this or now I could fix it?

Good to see you over here. Are you rooted yet? Cuz i think Sprint is blocking tethering unless you pay for it

I am rooted, so if there's some trick to try please do share. I believe I'm paying for the hotspot feature, although going through the change plan process doesn't seem to show that option anywhere (I just tried to find it to see whether or not it was already enabled but I can't find it anywhere on the Sprint site...).

I had tethering working on Sprint via this mod:
add a new entry to the "global" table called "tether_dun_required" with a value of 0 in the /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db file. ​
Just updated to 4.4.2; re-rooted (via WugFresh toolkit) tried tethering and its not working anymore. Not sure if its related to the 4.4.2 or not.
Anyone have a fix?

Thanks, appreciate the help. My issue is different however - the phone seems to start the tethering and I can connect to it through my tablet - but no data seems to flow... can't even run a speedtest on the tablet or load any webpage...

On the T-Mo side, I was afraid that we would lose the tethering with the latest 4.2.2 OTA - and initially, it looked that way. Speedtest would work on download side but "communications issues" on the upload side & unable to finish and show results .... Arrrrrgghhhh.
With two Nexus 5 on hand, it was easy to compare pre- and post- edits, hotspot & speed data, etc. along with comparing the entries in the above mentioned settings.db fields. First, save a coopy of the *.db just in case it is needed - then, added the tether_dun_required and value to 0 as a new entry/line, saved & exit. Reboot device for good measures, and sure enough, it connected by got re-directed to T-Mo's home page ... APN was set to IPv6
Change it to IPv4 and exit, restarted WiFi hotspot and it is good - fast speed and websites loading quickly, etc.
This may, or may not, help out those on Sprint's network - but, worth looking into ...

Use PDA-Net and Foxfi to tether to your computer or sprint.

Hmm, wonder what happened with my config then. I'm in the same boat - stock rooted only. maybe i will try removing the new line in settings.db are re-adding... Right now I can launch hotspot and connect to it from tablet/laptop but no data flows thru the pipe....

I lost my tether after the 4.4.2 update as well. I have a Sprint Nexus 5. My laptop and tablet were able to connect to the hotspot, but no data was coming across.
I looked at the settings.db file and could still see the "tether_dun_required" entry was definitely there. So I decided to replace the settings.db file with a copy I had from before the 4.4.2 update. Rebooted the phone, and magically, tether started working again.
I was curious though to see if I put the post-4.4.2 update settings.db file back, then would I lose my tether? So, once again, I replaced the settings.db file with the post-4.4.2 version, rebooted the phone, and magically, tether still was working! WTF!
The only thing interesting that I noticed during all of this is that every time I replaced the settings.db file on the phone, the corresponding settings.db-journal file would disappear. I don't know much about SQLite, but I wonder if the journal file had some transaction state with the "tether_dun_required" hack removed or not committed.
Anyway, hope this helps.

Enable tethering on LGH343 - LG Risio

Since I couldn't find anything specific for the enabling tethering on Cricket's H343 (LG Risio), I am sharing what I did to enable native tethering.
NOTE - I am not responsible for bricked devices. YOU are choosing to make these modifications. All I can say is it worked for me on 2 phones..
First make sure you have a rooted phone. If you have not rooted follow the instructions here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-how-to-root-lgls770-5-1-1-t3184649
Using our favorite SQlite editor, I use SQLite Debugger, modify settings.db at /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases
Within the database system subsection of settings.db find tether_entitlement_check_state, about 3/4 of the way down, and change its value to 0
Within the database Global subsection of settings.db find tether_dun_required, near the very end, and change its value to 1 (yes this is different then the way you enable tethering on most phones)
Then in the Settings -> Network -> More -> Mobile networks -> Access point names, create a new APN that is identical in every way to the existing Cricket 'internet' APN except you need to add "dun" to APN Type list. Make that new APN active
Reboot your phone and you should have native tethering without paying Cricket $10/month for the privilege of using your data as you see fit..

what is "dun" for
Dear gtabfish,
First of all Thank you for your post! It seemed worked on my LG Risio (H343) White.
I follow every instruction you mentioned except for the adding APN one, because it seemed worked like a charm when I turn on the tethering option directly before I add the new APN.
So I am curious about what the "dun" and new APN are for? Do I must do this step to use perfectly use the tethering?
Thank you!

I concur, it worked 100%. Absolutely fantastic, I'll be trying this on the G Stylo soon. Did this method on two Risio's. Wondering about the APN too. However I know that even with adding the APN, it works!
Doing this on one of the LG Risio's broke the Home button and notification bar by the way. Setting device_provisioned to 1 in the global subsection helped with most of the problems but the home button still is a no go, which wasn't a big deal, can just press the square and then home to get to home.
EDIT: Confirmed to work on the Cricket G Stylo. Thanks for this. Incredible.

I am getting system.db is not readable. What to do ?

Replicated DB with changes and renamed it to settings.db
Worked perfect !
Thank you

Does this method work on 5.1.1?
My Risio still tells me to contact cricket to enable tethering even after following these steps.

Get Settings Database Editor from playstore. Open app, click system, change "tether_entitlement_check_state" from 5 to 0 and save is all I had to do to have hotspot work on 5.1.1 No root needed.

Same here. Settings Database Editor did the trick. I am rooted, though.

Does this work in marshmallow? when I go to the specified folder, there's nothing there. No database. no settings.db I also searched the build.prop, looks like att hid these settings really well.

AT&T V20 Enable Hotspot for Unlimited Data Users

If you're like me, and have been trying different methods around - you have probably been unsuccessful with getting past the Authorization screen to get your Hotspot working - if you have their unlimited data plan which does not allow for tethering.
Well now that we have root on our phones, we can finally get it working! So originally you would be able to change the value "tether_entitlement_check_state" in your com.android.settings.system just by issuing an adb command. The original value is '5', and this causes the EntitlementcheckService to go through and verify with AT&T's server if you're entitled to use tethering. Any changes through adb never stuck and no SQL Editor gave the option to allow changing the value either. (If you can find a way besides manually editing - for the AT&T variant - feel free to post it here!)
*If you have the H910 AT&T ROM then just skip down to Step 5 and go from there.
1. First we will change a global setting to allow Hotspot without the 'dun' inside of our APN.
Either through adb or Terminal Emulator on your phone use this command:
Code:
For Terminal Emulator:
su
settings put global tether_dun_required 0
For ADB:
adb shell
su
settings put global tether_dun_required 0
2. We now will need to navigate and change the value from an XML file. You can use whatever you want to edit your files, I always have used the app 'ES File Explorer'.
3. Navigate to /data/system/users/0/settings_system.xml. We will edit this file.
4. Go down to near the very bottom of the file and find:
Code:
<setting id="1763" name="tether_entitlement_check_state" value="5"
package="com.lge.entitlementcheckservice" />
*NOTE: The ID number may be different from 1763.
5. Change the number "5" inside of the quotes to "0".
6. Save the changes and then reboot.
7. You should be able to enable tethering just fine from within your phone now!
Make sure you keep the permissions the same for that system_settings.xml file. If you use the ES File Explorer app, editing it will not change the permissions - so you shouldn't have to worry about anything!
Hopefully this will help out some of you guys. Let me know if you encounter any issues.
EDIT: Some people are unable to get tethering to work using this method still. @galacticboy2009 posted another guide in Page 4 which those others have confirmed it worked for them.
Hopefully one of these two methods will get you back to becoming your own mobile hotspot where all can see your awesome hotspot name like "It Hurts When IP".
Twisted

Thanks for this! Finally a way around the hotspot restriction. I will try this out later

Edited this post for a newer method to allow you to use tethering without having to change your provider from ATT to OPEN.

Thanks for this, I used steps 5-7 on the AT&T Rom and it's working fine.

Awesome, glad to hear it worked. Thanks for letting me know!

Works !!!!!! You are the MAN!!!

I'm on the ATT Rom, rooted, etc. (H910 Phone)
Is there any reason why my settings_system.xml file would not have the 1763 line in it?
I even copied the file to note pad and did a search just in case I'm going blind. LOL It's not there.
I guess I could add the whole line in manually but I'm not sure that would achieve anything.

It may not be 1763, just search for the actual name "tether_entitlement_check_state". If it still isn't there. Just try to activate hotspot once, let it fail and then check your file.

Thanks. It ended up being 549 closer to the top. I should have tried searching the name instead of the number. Works like a charm now!

Thanks a ton! I'm not even an Unlimited customer (I wish), and I could still use the hotspot without this trick, but I hated the obnoxious "Authenticating..." popup. It was slow, I typically need my hotspot on ASAP when I enable it, and sometimes it would fail. Super annoying.
So thanks for the quality of life trick!

Thank you. It helped getting the hotspot to work when using a non AT&T sim. Apparently it would try to get authorization from AT&T for the hotspot before that even though it was a different carrier that was being used.

Preach. I need to get my nethunter build back, the kernel was perfectly formed for the v20. Was going to freaking release my own repo, but my Ascurion replacement was, of course, updated to the point of locked bootloader.
Now, I am going to talk to a lawyer about this; the phone updated it's rom and they basically locked the bootloader without permission, which would be fine, but I saw no terms or conditions letting me know it was going to become useless; surely, there isn't like implied consent involved

Hi, I have the same issue as the others.when i restart the phone, Hotspot works but no Internet.

I am on Cricket. When I put my SIM in it created a new APN. I went back to the old APN and my tethering started working. It was not working when on the "Aiowireless" APN that Cricket provided me via MMS when I put my SIM card in.

I got past the authentication error and can setup my hotspot. I see the phones connected but they have no internet access.
Am i missing something?

Unfortunately I am not really sure on why the internet is not working. This is still working for me, however I am on AT&T.
When you say the internet is not working - is it working still on your phone and just not any devices connected to your hotspot? Or your phone's data stopped working as well?

Cannot activate hotspot on unlocked LG V10 (Australia)

Hey!
I have an unlocked AT&T model LGV10 (unsure which series), which I have brought back to Australia. managed to get mobile data and MMS working with APNs, but I can't use the hot spot, getting the message "There is a temporary network problem that prevents the enablement of the mobile hotspot function. Please try again later".
Have done some reading, and is it correct that I'll have to root my phone to change a .db file, or install a stock/custom ROM to get hotspot working? Happy to do that, if it's what it takes, but not totally sure the best way to do that. Any help would make my day. Thanks!

Acquiring root is easy if you are on Lollipop. If you have upgraded to MM, then I'm afraid root is not possbile (yet). See what version of Android you are running, if it's Lollipop then we'll talk about the rooting process.

Have you tried this?

I have AT&T V10 in Australia on Vodafone and this fixed my issue with tethering. I know it says H810 which is different to H900 (AT&T) but works.
For some reason if your AT&T V10 was purchased on an unlimited plan this is the fix as was my V10.
Hopefully this helps.

Would love to share with you what I did to make my V10's hotspot work.
(My phone is not rooted and have a LG-H900 model.)
1. Download "Settings Database Editor" at the playstore. The icon is a blue cog with red background.
2. Open the app then select "system"
3. Find "tether_entitlement_check_state" then set it to "0".
4. Save.
Hopefully this helps.

Champion! This worked for me.
I didn't have that setting but added it with the zero value and now I can turn on the tethering
Thanks!

Wonderful, it worked like a charm, thank you

Same here, had to add the setting, for which the option to do so shows up in pretty big letters at the top of the list.
Anyway, LG G6 Hotspot now working so massive thanks to those who helped.
(Noob alert - after selecting 'System Table' on my phone(in the top right of the screen), tap "+ Add new setting" at the top of the list, then type "tether_entitlement_check_state" without quotation marks, then tap Save Setting, then enter the value "0" without quotation marks, and tap save again, and you're done; Hotspot worked straight away without rebooting).

Had to necro this thread to offer my thanks. 2 years later and this fix still works. Same thing, branded ATT LG V10 that has been unlocked (now on MetroPCS) would not activate hotspot. Downloaded app, checked for setting (not there) added setting and rebooted. Hotspot now active. You rock!
