Free Tethering Unlocker
Unlock your tethering possibilities!
With this simple app you can, finally, use your Mobile Data plan, to surf with your notebook or any device you want, without having to pay any extra to your network operator!
As you can see here, since Android 4.1.2, Google introduced a new tethering function to "mark" tethering packets, so the operator can bill the user for that traffic separately from the traffic generated locally by the phone. May be useful even with Android 2.3+, when tethering problems occurs.
This app makes a simple trick to the routing table, to permit tethering traffic to proceed to the mobile network without any modification :victory:
PLUS, on the premium version, there is an on boot unlock function that will patch the routing table at every reboot, automatically. This way you can forget about the existence of this app and freely enable tethering when you need.
Features:
Automatic interfaces detection
Boot time patching (Premium only)
Wi-Fi and USB tethering mode supported
Tested operators:
The application works properly on all Android devices 2.1 +, but was tested on the following devices:
Vodafone IT
Changelog:
-----1.0.8------
Fixed interface detection bug, multiple interfaces support (LTE Galaxy S4)
New configurations added: T-Mobile
Translations fixed.
Known Issues:
If you use "superuser" on some ROMs you cannot get root privileges. To solve this, download "SuperSU".
Very Important:
In the app menu, there is a link to report your current operator configuration, this way if your actual configuration is not supported (the application wont work) I can see what is happening and can fix the app for your configuration.
This help me a lot, so, please, do it if the app don't work for you. Thanks.
Download:

Remember, if you like this application, rate and review it! Thanks!
Let me know which phone and which operator you use, to complete the compatibility list, thanks.

Thank you sir..
Noob Attack!
Uhm, sir, noob question from a noob person...
Does this app ,of yours, works like those WiFi Tethering apps like Barnacle WiFi / OpenGarden...?
And if it so, how does this differ from those apps?
And if it isn't so, does my phone required to have WiFi Tethering and Hotspot support to use this?
This app only patches original mobile WiFi hotspot (tethering) Android application.
This way you can use what tethering application included in Android distribution, there is no need of external applications like opengarden.
BTW I think, but not assure, that my app will unlock third party tethering application too, so you can use whatever tethering application you want and test if with my patch the tethering starts working.
If you do that, please, report the result here, so I can add compatibility.
Thanks.

This is exactly what we need thanks for your contribution.
Brilliant!
Does it also spoofs my mac address?
Enviado desde mi MB860 usando Tapatalk 2
Android stock mobile WiFi hotspot uses NAT, so...yes, your operator sees only your phone's MAC address.

By the way, can you guys who successfully use this app tell me which is your phone model and your operator, to compile a compatibility list, for all users?
Thanks!
Im using SGH-T999. By the way how do we know if the app is actually working?

This is simple, you have only to unlock tethering with this app, then try to surf with your PC, through the mobile WiFi network created by the phone. If you can see something and you have not paid anything for that....it works.
I suggest to call your operator and ask for disabling the tethering profile. This way (the one I've done) if you can surf the web from your PC, you're sure not to pay. In case the app is not working gor you, and you're using the standard tethering APN (and your operator will charge for that), the connection will be interrupted and you will be not charged for anything.
Let me know, bye!
BTW, today I'll publish an update with new configuration. Stay tuned!

Nexus6, VZW (unlimited plan), does not work. Checks for subscription, then says "Your order could not be processed", and fails.
*Edit:
Developer corrected the issues, this appears to be working on N6 in lastest version!
THANK YOU!!!

Worked first time!
PHONE: INFOCUS M512 (Foxconn)
OS: 4.4.2 (root), MIUI
OPERATOR: FIDO/ROGERS (Canada)
4G/LTE
I had NO working tether on this phone since purchase 2 weeks ago (tether was working on retired Apple 3GS - same 1 GB data plan). I probably could have gotten it working on the new Android with a call to FIDO tech support, but I remember when i bought the new SIM card, the sales guy at the mall kiosk warned me that FIDO calculates their tethering data a "little differently" than phone data, and that I might notice higher-than-expected usage totals on my statement...
I think not.
Hello!!
Nice to see that you like my work, as soon as possible I want to create a compatibility document, to be published here and in Google Play Store, so you guys can directly know whether this hack will work for you or not.
I'm currently working on an update but my job does not leave me much time so...might take a while to be ready, I'm sorry.
Bye and merry Christmas!

Anything new with this app?
Hi!
I'm currently working on a brand new application, with Material Design graphics.
Also the engine is updated, hopefully supporting more unlocking techniques.
Unfortunately my job does not help me in this; I've very small amount of time to write this app, therefore I cannot give you an estimation about when I'll be able to release it. Sorry.
Regards,
Marco.

Hi Marco & thanks for your app.
I've had it on my phone for a while, and it has been working fine, however due to the ever increasing load on my ram & cpu from all the apps & google service updates, I have had to prevent a bunch of system processes & apps from running.
This has stopped your app from working.
Can you please list the system apps/processes that your tether unlocker app needs access to or need to be running so I can enable just the necessary ones thanks?

Ok so I did everything in the APN settings an then I was going to download the app and pay for it. Cause i need this unlimited thethering and hotspot on my ZTE zmax pro for the whole house. But when I opened the app to download I seen it says for rooted phones an I haven't rooted my phone yet so is there a way for non rooted phones.. please lmk [email protected]
just picked up a new shield tablet and i noticed screenmirror/miracast is not in the settings? i thought this was a feature all android devices had 'stock'.
will a custom rom help?
The ability to screen mirror has to be enabled in Services Framework for the device. It seems Google controls which devices get added to the whitelist.
I know that a Sony tablet just got added a few days ago (with very little fanfare).
Perhaps we should log RFEs on the Shield Tablet Forum so the devs can work with Google to add the Shield Tab to the device whitelist.
I know it can be enabled for chrome cast by making the changes listed in the commit listed in the op here http://forum.xda-developers.com/hardware-hacking/chromecast/experimental-enable-mirroring-device-t2812193 Don't know if it's the same thing but I saw a mention of wifi display. Maybe it will be something to look into.
Just wondering if this has been enabled by default in Lollipop?
Cast screen is a toggle in 5.0

Yes but is it actually working with chromecast? The device is not listed on the officialy supported devices on the Google website.

I tried it yesterday without success. It can not find any Chromecast device.
But the toggle is there suggesting they are hopefully working on it.
...or that google/ nvidia forgot to remove it.....
They added the other toggles so I doubt it. Its probably just not enabled by google. There is an app that will make it work if the proper files are there l, don't know about being compatible 5.0 or this but I could use it to stream my phone through the chromcast app while on 4.4. I'll try it later.

The mirrorenabler apk you are talking about only works on 4.4 last i checked. It also didn't work on 4.4 for this tablet - this is why i was wondering of they enabled screen mirroring as part of 5.0. I saw the toggle in some screenshots but i guess it's not really working.

Still doesn't work and doesn't support lollipop fully but I thought it'd be worth a try. It looks like the cast screen is on everything that has gotten relatively stock android (nexus, gpe, etc.) whether it is supported or not. My M8 has it but its also not working.

Hello, I was looking into the beaming service Samsung devices use and I believe they are the only devices that have working barcode beamers on all infrared scanners but I couldn't load it on a aosp rom, does anyone know if it is possible to have something like this on an aosp rom? Or maybe on another device that has a ir blaster? I think an app like this would make a lot of money
I would love to be able to use it on a aosp rom. I use the beep n go app daily but it only works on touch wiz
Hi,
since I can't find much on the interwebs, maybe a huawei wizz can help me here.
For Christmas I imported the honor waterplay (non LTE 3GB/32GB version) (since it was fairly cheap and, well, IP67... so it can function as a ebook reader while in the bathtub/jaccuzzi) and also has a beefy battery.
The issue I have is: on huawei's website I can not unlock the bootloader, If you use EMUI 5.0 you can select tablets, but the waterplay is not recognized. If you select 5.1 (which the waterplay has) you can only select Smartphones. I contacted Huawei via Mail but 10 days running - no answer. - so is there a way to unlock it so i can flash magisk?
Second Q: Is there a working exploit to get at least root running? adb via usb is not working, on click root apps failed (as well as the windows supported ones like kingo etc.)
thirdly: does anyone know if the waterplays' hardware is similar to a lineage os version of another tablet ? (I'd love to have a L-OS on that, not only for root but some apps loaded with yalp annoy me, they work but always a popup google services are required...)
btw: the tablet is impressive for the money (260€) ereader mode it lasts days (was reading some GoT for hours), playing games is good (my nephew played 4h on christmas and it only lost 40%), overall system is responsive. it has a fingerprint reader which works ok and can be used with gestures. All it misses is a fully google supported rom. Sound with the 4 Speakers is actually good - you can even watch streams/movies without sounding too tinny.
thanks in advance for any suggestions / support
cheers
@ moderators: if this is wrong here, please move it - I did not want to hijack any honor forum for this, since there is no section for the waterplay yet. thanks

You need to have 2 files to enable Google Play service on the Waterplay.
You need the Huawei gms services apk (com.huawei.gmsinstaller.apk Ver. 1.2.0) , and then an google play installer (com.goplaycn.googleinstall.apk Ver. 4.8.1)
Both of these can be found easily using google search.
You need to install the gms service apk first, reboot the tablet and then install the google play installer to get the playstore app on your tablet. You might need to wait a bit after the playstore is installed for the Playstore app to update itself to the correct version before selecting the app.
Once the you select the app it will ask for your google credentials and you can go from there.
I want to download and actually be able to use an older version of handcent SMS messenger. It's more compact and basic yet new enough to support the modern themes and such. I have the same version, 6.9.5.9, able to run on my s5 neo, and even as far back as my old Samsung captivate glide. While it's still under "universal" architecture on apkmirror, it always crashes on the s7. Doesn't universal mean, you know, universal, as in works everywhere? Does anyone know of some sort of work around where I can get it actually working? It installs fine, but crashes upon opening instantly. Every time.
I know most want the newest and "best" but for me I'm cool with tried and true. I hope there's a way. I already had to give up on stock marshmallow as much as I preferred it as even a custom kernel led to a soft brick (and not working vibration like intended) so I've been trying to deal with Oreo best I can ... But I want to at least be able to use the apps I want looking the way I prefer.... The odd part is my old keyboard app works flawlessly and it's actually even older than the messenger I'm trying to install...
Help? Advice? Hacks?

1. This is in the wrong section.
2. Maybe the app doesn't work with Oreo, what version of Android were you running on your s5?
3. Have you tried a different ROM?
