Enable Wifi Hotspot on Verizon M8? Already S-off and unlocked bootloader - Verizon HTC One (M8)

I'm currently running 5.0.1. I accidentally upgraded to this OS a while ago. I've used Sunshine and Kingroot to S-off and unlock my bootloader. All I want to do is enable the hotspot so my tablet can connect to it. Do I have to root it as well? I have PDAnet, but I can only use the bluetooth tethering option, the wifi hotspot does not work with any app I've tried. Can anyone let me know what I'm supposed to do from here?

Tethering unlocker for Verizon Trophy

Verizon released the Tango update with internet sharing, but the Connection Name is locked to Verizon. This tools is to remove the connection name, so the internet sharing can be used in any network.
NOTE: YOU ONLY NEED THIS APP IF YOU ARE NOT USING VERIZON WIRELESS. IF YOU ALREADY WITH VERIZON WIRELESS, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS OR THIS.
You need to have WP7 Root Tools running in you phone and assign this tool with ROOT access then run it.
If you do not install WP7 Root Tools before and you already in Tango, you are out of luck, WP7 Root Tools is not possible to gain ROOT access with the new driver, you need to roll back to 7720 or before and install WP7 Root Tools then upgrade to Tango.

What is the use of this ap? To install WP7 Root Tools, one would need an unlocked phone. And an unlocked phone implies a custom ROM, which in turn would already have internet sharing working on it!

WP7 root tools also can be installed in a stock rom. what need to do is to install it before the new htc driver installed. You can also have root access with root tools in stock rom.
There would be an advantage to using this method though: newer WIRELESS driver, to get rid of that stupid random NIC address issue. I finally got the entire update path downloaded to Tango, so I can look at the new WIRELESS driver and try to make sure the connection isn't locked to VZW.
It did not work for me, I went back to NoDo, HSPL'd, Upgraded to Mango, Rooted with HTC Interop Unlock, Installed Root Tools 0.9, Rooted, Installed Tether Unlock, Gave Root Access, Ran it (just incase it would not work when on tango), Upgraded to Tango, Ran Tether Unlock (successful) Ran Tether (did not work) Retried Tether Unlock, Still no go ... any ideas?
You only need this if you are NOT on Verizon Wireless service. If you have an unlimited data plan like myself, you need to follow the instructions here to get tethering working. I wouldn't have noticed since this since this is a mod I have done to all my phones since 2005. XD

Hi Bobby, would you mind giving more details about this part - (a) which NoDO rom did u start with, (b) which version of Mango did u upgrade to, and how? and (c) how did u install Interop Unlock and Root Tools on the Mango? Thanks.
JerryJiang, I am interested to know exactly what it is your xap does. Does it modify something in the registry? I'm working on my XevRev release, and want to include this patched in by default if possible.

Hi, TheXev, I was thinking that no one will interest in this thread, so I did not come back to check.
What I did is actually to run a provxml to change the connection name from Verizon to empty. I did not have source code with me right now, but will update the source code to you tomorrow, it is very simple.
If you are doing a ROM mod, I think you just need to change a Verizon provided xml is OK. This application is just for stock ROM users who is not using Verizon network.

Since I am not using Verizon network, I was not able to test with that, the app is to make the phone to be able to use tethering in any network, but there maybe some additional thing you need to do to enable it through Verizon.
You may already got it done, sorry for the inconvenient.
If you are on Verizon with Unlimited Data, you must dial ##778#, tap "PST", tap "edit", enter "000000" as the unlock code, navigate to "M. IP Default Profile", select "DUN NAI" and change it from ##########@dun.vzw3g.com to ##########@vzw3g.com (keeping your phone number the same as what is already entered). Click okay, and save... reboot phone. No other change is required and you do not need to install JerryJiang's xap.
Verizon tiered data users need to do nothing at all!
His xap is only for people who are on non-Verizon networks using the SIM card slot.

If you're using foxfi on 4.4 read the instructions carefully after you start it's service. It tells you to go into the settings and repeatedly toggle the hotspot till it becomes active.
If you're using foxfi on 5.1, then you're out of luck. the only thing you can do is use PDAnet+, which is Foxfi's version of tethering.
Thanks for ur reply...It repeatedly says (non verizon sim....sim not supported)........should I still continue pressing the hotspot button

If you're unable to root it and/or obtain S-OFF, alternative firmware is not an option.
Before I obtained S-Off and full root I was able to obtain temproot with Weaksauce2 and use this for tether:

Why not use Sunshine to obtain S-Off and do whatever you want with it? A patch for native VZW tether id available here once you have full root.

First off, you have to unlock your bootloader, then obtain s-off and root your phone. Then you can flash European firmware and it won't be a problem
my phone is s-off and rooted, please tell me how to fix hotspot problem

Droid Ultra XT1080 few questions.

Alright guys so ive been holding on to this droid ultra for awhile just to see if any root comes about. Basically its stuck on Verizon and id like to use it on t-mobile. It has been updated to android version 4.4.4 SU4.21 now i just was reading about the new root method available but is there any way to get this phone to work on tmobile even with the root? As far as i can tell id still need it unlocked or s-off which sunshine can do on 4.21 but i have to already have a root method which requires i change to version 6-7 correct?
ALSO one last question. As soon as i connect to wifi the phone started downloading an update so i turned off the wifi but now it always says System update paused across the top. Any way to get rid of that and block any future updates?
Thanks in advance for any help guys sorry im still a newb.
To use droid ultra on T-Mobile... Put in T-Mobile Sim that is it
Check out my post at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3078128.
If you're still on SU4-21 you can use the SU6-7 root method with the files in my thread to root SU4-21 and then run sunshine.

I put a t-mobile sim in it and had a lot of problems. Calls didnt work correctly nor did text messaging.

Tethering Options - Requires root?

My Carrier, Cricket, will not enable the hotspot feature on my device. I've read it can be "circumvented" by unlocking the bootloader and rooting the device. Or, by modifying a file related to the hotspot function and changing some characters around.
Is the only option to get hotspot on my Pixel to unlock bootloader and root? Or is there another way? I tried that FoxFi app, and it wouldn't work.

Sim unlocked, but still shows "Activate this device" in the settings.

I bought a htc a9 sprint unlocked version online 2 months ago.
It has boot loader unlocked and s-off
But after I accidentally updated the phone with 7.0 ruu, it got aim locked.
After few weeks of work and I can't unlock it, so I turn to others for help.
He has unlocked the sim lock, but "activate this device" still appears in the settings.
Is there any way to activate this device? People said I need a Sprint account to do that, unfortunately I don't have one.
By the way, I can't get mobile data on this phone, is that because it needs to be activated?
Can any one help me with that? Thanks!

same thing happened to me bro, I'm still wondering how can I resolve my problem, you have HTC A9 2PQ930000 isn't it?
I changed MID and installed Nougat but I got a problem of not having 3g and 4g signals, but I had 2g signals, now I restored my MID back to 2PQ93000 and got Sprint RUU installed but still have no data and it is always asking to unlock. It drives me mad.
Fear not, get Sunshine and S-OFF the phone ($25 but it's worth it!) And follow the guide to convert your phone to dev unlock, it's easier than it sounds!
