From reading around, it seems probably and most likely the bootloader will be locked which will make custom Roms and development very difficult. I am due an upgrade, thus I was wondering if anyone knows if a working Hotspot fix without root is available? Sprint variant, Note 7...just asking around before I upgrade.

@heathmcabee posted this fix here and you can find that app here.
All credit goes to @heathmcabee for the fix. And obviously it's still a guess at this point since nobody has the Sprint variant yet, but I would guess there's a good chance this works. Good luck to you!
If you want to wait, i'll test it out when I get mine this weekend and post back the results. More than welcome to PM me and remind me if I haven't reposted by Sunday.

Your running it on a Note 7 too? Or, S7 like the thread it came out of? I've got the Note 7 on preorder and will be picking it up early Friday morning.

S7 like the thread. I'm also waiting on my Note7 to come, but this method isn't really device specific. It doesn't use a menu or feature that's specific to the s7. It might not work on the note 7, but I think there's a pretty good chance that it does. :good:
Agreed with you there. Fingers crossed.

When you get your device, don't let them update it. Like many of us we can setup our phone ourselves. Set it up, take nothing further than what's on the phone and try the method I explained. When I got my edge, I said to just activate the device and hand me my phone. I played around with a note 7 at a best buy while they tried to figure out my sd card gift with a guy that was there. He's lucky I didn't have a phone at the time to take pics and guess that's why he didn't mind the black woman beside me use it that was ignorant to WHaT we do. His was running on am obvious beta, but I did look and I think I saw it was PEH

Well, I should be getting mine via FedEx on Friday, but you're right, I won't take any updates
Heck, with any luck it'll be like the last time they shipped me a device. When they replaced my s7 Edge, it came w the Sprint firmware, but none of the Sprint apps. Essentially the PEH, but...not. That's probably once in a million, but I can dream lol

What have you tried?
I tried the steps from the second post of this thread. I wasn't able to edit any of the LTE files that were found.
I tried browsing to the file location (Root is needed to access the location)
I tried the manual ##DATA# entered my MSL. I can see the APN settings screens, but the are greyed out and you cant edit them.
I've been tethering for quite a while using USB FoxFi and PDANET.
Have you had any luck?

So you were atleast able to use FoxFi over usb and PDANET to get free wired tethering to work on the Note 7? If so can you point me in the direction on how to set that up in the meantime? Thanks ahead of time.

I went through all the settings I could find but APNs were either greyed out or needed root to get to the settings. So bummer there. Might have to give the USB tethering a shot
Step by step on how to get USB tethering working with PC/Mac and Note7
1. Install PC/Mac pdaNET software. Choose whatever fits your need. http://pdanet.co/a/
2. pdaNET is part of FoxFi. Install FoxFi from the market. Do them a favor and purchase the app. It's money well spent. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.foxfi&hl=en
3. Open FoxFi and select USB Tether. And give it a sec to activate.
3a. Confirm your device is connected via USB cable. (if I don't put this in, someone will say...You didn't say I had to connect it via USB)
4. Turn on the PC/Mac portion. On my MAC, I right click the pdaNET icon and choose Connect.
Thats it. You should have a connection. I test by putting the laptop or MAC in Airplane mode and surf the net. I'd be curious to see your connection speeds. Please post!!

Saw on AC that it was rolling out to T-Mo and Sprint users so I checked 2 hours ago and had nothing. I just checked again and it is available. From what I read it shouldn't break root. I'm updating now and will report back.

We probably won't see it for atleast another month the way Verizon is with their updates. Either way I will avoid it, I value root too much.
Update PDF to see changelog and what was updated/improved/ruined. However you want to look at it. Seems like very minor changes from which not many people will benefit.

Yeaaaaaaaa. So the update is failing on my device haha. I'll take it as a sign. I don't really care for it much anyway.
Sounds about right. They either wait too long, or shoot it off before its ready. hahaha
Anyone know why my update may be failing though? update failure code 402. I have my phone rooted/debloated. I don't think that should make the update fail though.
To resolve, try plugging the Phone up to a PC and install the Verizon Updater software that is on the Phone's flash drive..(it is one of the disks that auto pops up when you connect the phone).

haha nah. I have linux on my vbox. I have other workstations at work with windows 7 on 'em. I can't get it to open. I wonder if it is because we are blocking outbound ports with ACL's and maybe the software needs access to something to launch. I'll try off of a public Wifi as that's wide open. That's the only similarity between the windows7 and 8.1 machines.
EDIT: yup, it requires port 443 to be open (which it is) but it is also passing through our content gateway proxy. I believe it was flagging it as some malicious. Luckily, I know it's not malicious and I am the systems admin so I was able to bypass

Of course you are! Come on.... I am sure some more simple method will be developed but until then you would want to follow the directions closely. Still in Beta as well and everything is not 100% but I can guarantee he got it rooted! It's just whether you can write to certain partitions or not.

If anyone tries this could you report back on how it goes. I'd be willing to buy a S6 today if this materializes into a true way to root the Verizon s6. I can't tell from the op, but is this root method have wp off? I know someone got root for the turbo a few months ago and it was basically useless.

Doesnt work. I tried on my S6. Just reboots and does nothing.
I can confirm did not work for me phone just reboots but a few people have reported working on vzw s6 this is just in beta phase 1 so hopefully with a update it will become more stable.
This looks promising will be trying this after work today on my vzw s6.

What this is going to give you (if it works on your firmware version) is JUST root. So you will be able to do certain things but you CANNOT flash custom roms cause that has to do with the bootloader, and that bad boy is LOCKED tight. I'm not saying it won't happen but probably not. Hopefully someone starts developing Safestrap again (for this device). I left Verizon long ago because of their crap with locking down phones but I still thought you guys would like to know the info i found, seeing as it's a given that every Verizon device will make it next to impossible to achieve root. The root method for the Turbo was a different kind of exploit but I am pretty sure that this method will at least allow you to do some of the basic "must have" rooting tweaks. ie. Ad blocker, totally removing bloat, Hotspot mods, etc. Best thing to do is follow him over at the link I posted. Hope u guys get this all figured out and remember, this is just in beta right now, so if you can't get root that does not mean 100% for sure that this won't work 4 you. Like I said, follow the brilliant guy that made this all possible. :good:

No frustrations I realise that its only in beta phase 1 so its possible with a simple fix it might become more stable. Plus like you said with this exploit you are only gonna be able to do a few limited things until someone comes along and makes something like safestrap. Plus im pretty sure the system will still be write protected. A lot of hurdles to overcome to fully modify this phone. Can you tell me what kernal date youre friend had that was success?

Working now!
Well well...fancy seeing you all here. It's been so long, love what you've done with the place. Glad to be back.
Anyone feel like giving this geezer who just upgraded from sgs4 running sacs old school rom, to this beautiful note 5, a few pointers and a quick once over? Looking to root asap. I see my note downloaded the new ota as soon as I got home w it, but I have not installed.
Would appreciate any help. Thanks
Good to be back :good:
Its pretty simple really.
You have several choices.
The easiest is just to install one of the pre-rooted roms:
Galaxy Note 5 OGD/OI6 Stock Deodexed Roms
MOAR Rom v1.1
If you want to JUST root, there is a thread for that too:
[how to] sprint note 5 root instructions n920p
Awesome, thank you! What i really use root for mainly is the WiFi Hotspot, any tips for that, is it still just an apk to install after root?
Lastly, i use root for a free version of Pandora streaming music...again, without an sd card, im in the woods as far aa using jailbroken apps...thanks!! Edit - nevermind, i see Hotspot is out of the box on this, awesome!
Oh....do i want to,take this update or what? Will it make things harder or worse for me down the road?
All of those pre rooted roms have hacked hotspot included btw.
If you take that ota update your phone is nagging you about, you won't be able to odin back to the original build. It won't hurt to take it, but that is the limitation. If you take it, you will need the latest odin tarball/firmware, currently version oi6, should you need to flash back to stock.
If you want to use Samsung pay don't root. If you don't know what it is and don't care to pay with your phone almost everywhere they take credit cards then by all means i recommend rooting asap.
If i had not found Samsung pay by accident i would be on MOAR right now. I was ready to root and ROM when i read a post about a free charger to set up Samsung pay. I had never even heard of it before getting the phone.
Yeah i looked into spay last night after reading a bit...not my cup of tea, doesnt currently use my bank besides amex, so im much rather have hotspot and save myself $30 a month than use my phone as a wallet...for now at least.
So, what about getting my cracked Pandora app on here...any ideas?

I think you can get your Hotspot up and running with just a couple of apn edits as long as you have your msl. No root required.
Yeah, if all you want is hotspot, root is not needed.
Call/chat with Sprint and get your MSL#.
Dial ##2382#
Click 'edit'
click 'apn settings'
Click the 1st apn listed and scroll down to 'apn type'.

I think you can get your Hotspot up and running with just a couple of apn edits as long as you have your msl. No root required.

Thx kids, it most certainly does work, got my sml on first try through chat, have my hotspot, and an awesome Pandora now...so, why bother rooting the note these days...any takers on that bone I just dropped?

I tried to get my msl from Sprint but they wouldn't give it to me. I bought the phone on the payment plan and they won't give it to you until it's paid off. I've tried twice now and was told no by two reps. Anybody else run into that?

Oh lol...yeah I followed FreddyFredFred's post on the last page
Hey guys, I'm trying to test out some software a friend stumbled upon that can unlock the Sprint Note 5. I've already unlocked my Sprint Note 5, which I am using with T-Mobile. I'm trying to see if it can work the unlock over a remote connection before buying myself, as it is very expensive software that also requires a physical dongle to work.
YOU MUST HAVE A DECENT STEADY INTERNET CONNECT AND USING WINDOWS PC!
You must be rooted! ( I have not tried this on a non rooted Note 5 and do not know if it will work. With that said if you're unrooted and one of the few I have time to try this remote unlock with, you proceed at your own risk!)
Please Nandroid or backup your data by whatever means you may use!
Although this will not root your phone or flash anything to your Note 5, you do this at your own risk!
If the remote unlock is unsuccessful, remember this didn't cost you a thing, and if it worked please post to this thread!
I am using a friends licensed software and hardware that he has been kind to let me try, please understand that I cannot do this for everyone that responds and my time is limited! With that said you will get a PM from me instructing you to download the 7zip file below for setup. At the moment, I have time for 5 to 6 quick unlocks! Don't get mad if you're not picked, as it will be random! Don't PM me regarding this thread, unless I PM'ed you in response to your thread reply. Thank you!
ENABLE USB DEBUGGING:
1. To enable "USB DEBUGGING", go to settings, then "About Phone", then tap "Build Number" 7 times.
2. Enable "USB debugging" and "OEM Unlock" in "Settings", "Developer options".
3. Connect the phone to PC with USB cable, install drivers if needed.
Download UnlockTools.7zip :
UnlockTools2.7z
Unzip and install as Administrator with shortcuts on your Desktop for easy access.
This zip contains two files:
Flexihub Setup - Used to connect to your Note 5 from remote connection. This can also be downloaded from the developers website as a free download for individual users. Google and you will find. Otherwise use my link.
TeamViewer Setup - Used to connect to your PC remotely and connect Flexihub software to your device. This can also be downloaded from the developers website as a free download for individual users. Google and you will find. Otherwise use my link.

Still trying to get Sprint version to unlock. My friend has expensive box and I'm thinking of getting one, but first he's letting me play around with it here and there. Still testing bro. PM me if you would like to try. Got mines to unlock, trying to replicate remotely now.
Interested!

You should've kept it! Little something for your thoughts. Instead of donating those, you should save them, you would be surprised what hardware and software a few hundred of them could buy! T Mobile working real good here on Memorial Day, oh yeah, that is a N920p! Just to fill you in, $#!+ def legit. Funny ass!

And in all honesty, Junior, you should not have waste your first post bro! Or should I say Troll! Look I'm just trying to replicate what I did for mines using remote access. You think all the remote unlocks and sim unlocks you seeing on ebay and on websites are fake? Trust me, they are not, but it is expensive hardware and software that does that. What I do is completely safe. If you don't like what you see, leave. Simple, but evidently you are a troll and your profile proves it. You ask no questions, subscribe to nothing.

Today, I work 9:00 am to 6 pm EST, but will be availabe outside that. Pm again, if you got time before 9:00 am. Ill PM after 6, if not. Once again, apologizes because I shoulda been more professional even if you were being sarcastic, though I know now you weren't with any ill intent.

I have a question for those of you getting the Pixel 2 (or 2 XL). I am on a VZW grandfathered plan and looking at getting the Pixel 2 or 2 XL. I am curious whether the unlocked version will perform the entitlement check or if the tethering works out of the box. It looks like the OG Unlocked Pixel does not perform the check and I just wanted to confirm before I make a final decision to buy from Google.
Thanks in advance!
Same plan as you, and unfortunately, Yes it does, and they finally updated the "you don't have a subscription" box from the old Anrdroid ICS colors.
We will have to wait until Magisk is available for it. (Only reason I need it these days).

I have the same plan as both of you and this is sad news. My phone is my main source of internet right now so this is a very important feature for me. Hopefully they get root and a ROM up and running before mine gets here on November 1 or it'll have to sit not being used until they do. That or I'll have to switch back and forth to my N6 every time I need internet

Just curious why you like Magisk over Superuser
Magisk over Superuser so I can use APay, also my office uses AirWatch for email and it won't connect if it detects root.
Soft reboot
I can confirm this method works: 1. Soft reboot, 2. Unlock phone, 3. Activate hotspots from notification bar and this will circumvent the entitlement check and tethering is working with my (new) Pixel 2 from Google store on Verizon sim, UDP Grandfathered plan.

Are you able to set up the SSID and security and stuff first, then let it fail at the check, then do your steps and have everything set up or is it an open network with a generic SSID?

What is "soft rebooting" and how do you do it?
I'm trying to replicate this on the pixel 2 xl.
Not sure why, but I can't get it to work on that device. I wait for it to boot up, and immediately, as soon as I can I dropped the scroll down box from the top and click on the tethering icon. However it then seems to stall for a second and I see the tethering icon flash on and flash off. About three seconds later it gives me the tethering provisioning check. I'm wondering if having a pin is what is holding me back? Everytime I reboot the device, it is asking for a pin. Any other thoughts, if you got it working on the regular pixel too I'm not sure why we can't get it on the XL

My guess is it's the pin. It looks like you need to get to the tethering icon and turn it on before the phone has a chance to connect to the network. Try turning off pin unlock and see if you can get to it faster.

What you're doing sounds pretty much like the old phone info trick we used to use years ago. I don't know if it still works or not but it can't hurt to try. Open your dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#*. Then choose phone information. You'll see a line on there that says mobile radio power. Turn it off and then turn on your hotspot. Then go back into the phone information thing and turn the radio back on. Like I said, I don't know if it works anymore but what you're trying to do is pretty much the same thing. Get the hotspot started before the radio starts. Who knows? Maybe this old trick still works.

Sometimes its the stupidest stuff that works. I just tried it thinking there's no way.
You literally just reboot the phone, once on lockscreen swipe down and activate. Worked for me. Wow.

That's awesome. Glad the Pixel 2 has a workaround! Just curious, do you have a PIN or any other kind of provision check?
Neither myself or others can get tethering working on the XL2

I have a pin and finger print set up. I can confirm that once you unlock the phone it will disable your tethering. So if you want to use it for now until a root method is available, you'll have to be comfortable with not using your phone while tethering.
Edit: Maybe it was fluke, I unlocked the phone and I'm still tethering whereas before it cut out. It didn't turn off, just data stopped working. That's good to know.
