Here it goes (no root required):
1. Enable developer mode:
a. Go to settings
b. Scroll down to about phone
c. Repeatedly tap "Build number" until developer access is granted
2. Get ADB installed w/ drivers
a. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
3. Enable USB Debugging
a. Go to settings
b. Go down to developer options
c. Scroll down to USB Debugging and turn it on
d. Connect phone with USB to PC
4. Get into ADB shell
a. Open a command prompt (windows key + R , type "cmd" in the box and press enter is my favorite way)
b. Run:
Code:
adb shell
5. Enable the bypass
a. Disable the DUN requirement
Code:
settings put global tether_dun_required 0
b. Overwrite the DUN APN
Code:
settings put global tether_dun_apn "APNDUN,n.ispsn,,,,,,http://mms.sprintpcs.com,68.28.31.7,80,310,120,,default,dun,mms,supl"
6. Turn off Mobile Data
7. Turn on HotSpot
8. Turn on Mobile Data (The order is important for DNS to work properly)
Alternative 5-8: w/ static DNS
5.b (Does not attempt to replace default active APN at start)
Code:
settings put global tether_dun_apn "APNDUN,n.ispsn,,,,,,,,,310,120,,dun"
This one can also be tried if data does not work on the phone during hotspot:
Code:
settings put global tether_dun_apn "APNDUN,n.ispsn,,,,,,,,,310,120,,default,dun
(the extra default in there should keep the phone on data, but no guarantee)
6. Turn on Hotspot
7. On your devices, you might have to set a custom DNS server:
a. Google DNS: Google DNS Guide
b. OpenDNS: OpenDNS Guide
Sprint's IP's are:
Code:
68.28.31.30
68.28.31.31
c. If you must also specify a static ip, use:
Code:
IP: 192.168.43.XXX , where XXX is between 2 and 254
Gateway: 192.168.43.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 or /24
DNS 1: 68.28.31.30
DNS 2: 68.28.31.31
To revert:
Code:
settings put global tether_dun_required 1
settings put global tether_dun_apn null
Notes:
Line 5.b:
For
"name,apn,proxy,port,username,password,server,mmsc,mmsproxy,mmsport,mcc,mnc,auth,type"
Alternative line 5.b (you can run the command again, and yes the first part is required in []):
Code:
[ApnSettingV3] carrier/Name,apn,proxy,port,user,password,Unused/server,mmsc,mmscproxy,mmscport,mcc/part1,mcc/part2,authType,types[],protocol,roamingProtocol,carrierEnabled,bearer,profileId,modemCognitive,maxConns,waitTime,maxConnsTime,mtu,mvnoType,mvnoMatchData
[ApnSettingV3] SprintDUN,n.ispsn,,,,,,http://mms.sprintpcs.com,68.28.31.7,80,310,120,,default|mms|supl|dun,ipv4,ipv4,true,0,,false,0,0,0,,,
For types[], you can use default|dun|mms , separated by the pipe " | " for multiples. I'm not sure what is needed but you can test around. If you get an error about subscription then likely you put in a malformed string. For the mvno (prepaid) probably the last two are gid and 4E or something like that (0,0,0,,gid,4E) ; see your APN info
Survives Reboot, PRL Update, Profile Update, UICC Unlock
sprint/tmoile just did something. the hidden menu dun thingy doesn't work anymore. when i go to enable hotspot on my LG G5 it just gives "network error : tehtering or hotspot has been disconnected due to network problems .please try again later."
Will this adb edit work?

Do we need to know what's listed in our APN settings and add dun to what's there in 5b? I'm not exactly clear on that part.

I do not think so, but it won't hurt. The thing is since the type is "DUN" it should rely on the other APNs for MMS which is the only other thing that's typically setup by the APN. You could try turning on hotspot and sending/receiving MMS. Btw the one in the post is for Sprint.

I just tried this and while hotspot turns on, I have no data connection to any device I connect to it. The data on the phone works fine while hotspot is on but the devices on it can't connect to the internet.
How can I reset this back, even ##SCRTN# won't reset it back to normal?

Are you on Sprint? Can you ping from connected devices (e.g., ping 4.2.2.1 )?
Upon further investigation, it seems like the DNS server doesn't work in the hotspot, so you'll have to override it.

Yeah, I'm on Sprint. I just wanted a way to go back in case something else breaks. (You should post that in your main post)
I'll try again later and let you know if I can get it working with the DNS change. Why would it need it?
Otherwise I'm excited to get this working, especially on a 3XCA capable phone! (I'm on Nougat BTW)
I was able to get Hotspot to turn on, however, I also cannot get a connection from connected devices.
How do we override the DNS?

It gets added virtually to the phone's profile rather than the editable XML list. I'm seeing if I can craft a new APN string that gets the DNS to work. Until then, can you test on a laptop with manual DNS settings?

I'm not sure what else to do other than static overrides at this point. Good thing the IP is hard coded at 192.168.43.1 for wifi.

Well it wouldn't necessarily be impossible to set up a device for static use (if it's an android phone).. I'll agree it's a pain and not ideal but it's definitely better than nothing.

Edit: First don't change anything with this setting, then try again with it if it doesn't work:
Here's one for you to try:

Restart your phone, then:
1. Disable mobile data
2. Turn on hotspot (wait a sec for it to start up and let something connect)
3. Turn on mobile data
See if that gives you working internet without any custom DNS/IP

Hi All,
So I have some info that will hopefully be useful and I also need some help. I am specifically trying to flash the Boost Moto G for use on Seletel.
I have updated with current Selectel PRL (actually tried several), and have updated with my MDN and MIN. Phone just says searching for service. Any suggestions, tips, or success stories? Thanks!!
Here is some Info that is known but sort of spread all over the internet.
Boost Moto G (XT3031)
-The bootloader is unlockable via Motorola Website https://motorola-global-portal.cust...e/bootloader/unlock-your-device-a/action/auth
- Root works, I used superboot via this guide: http://www.modaco.com/topic/366771-root-your-moto-g-option-1-superboot/
- You can get your SPL/MSL from boost. Some have reported just calling them and asking working. Also they just give it to you on the last page of their activation via the boost website.
- if you need PRL's or other info, this thread by Viper32 has some great info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2270191&page=7
any help would be greatly appreciated. And thanks to everyone else who has been working on these things!
Thanks!
-Cedar
outside the obvious have you updated your MEID with selectel?
what did you use to set your PRL, MDN, MIN?
How did you your get MSL code? From what I've read calling them or the activation method don't work anymore. The SPCUtility app works, though I have my doubts about why it needs network access to do so.

I activated the phone with selectel, that went through just fine.

currently have prl 53340 - https://www.dropbox.com/s/h687s67x7fb771o/53340.prl
its whats on my main selectel phone and works fine. but I also tried several others, none of them have worked.

MDN and MIN
I'm using what my selectel dealer gave me when I activated a new account for the moto g

MSL
I got the MSL code from boost, they gave it on the last page of their web activation process
It works fine, I can edit settings on the phone with CDMA workshop and DFS

Would you mind share how you install the DIAG driver? I installed the MDM, but it doesnot install the driver once the phone is in DIAG mode. My OS is win7 64x. Any idea will be really appreciated. Thanks.

This worked for me also on windows7 64x. sorry for the delay in response been at work.
after you have MDM installed
make sure USB Debug is enabled on phone
boot phone to fastboot
-turn off phone
-hold vol down + pwr buttons and phone should boot into fastboot
select BP Tools from list
-phone should reboot
plug it back into your computer, if it isn't already, windows should try and install more drivers, but will fail.
go to devise manager
-right click on Motorola QC Diag
-manually update drivers
-browse for drivers on computer
-select driver from list
-manufacturer Motorola
-Motorola QC Diag Port
this should get things working, you can also change the COM port form the driver properties in the devise manager if you need to.
hope this works and is clear, I'm getting ready for work so a bit rushed. let me know if you need more info.

When I try to get MSL by activatting the phone through boost in the last page without paying for it, my phone has been activated, and assigned a phone number. If you got your MSL in this way, your esn might have been set in boost database. You may call boost to deactivate your phone and release your esn. Hopefully it helps.

yeah you can get to DIAG mode with ##DIAG# as well. bit easier for sure if you already have your MSL.
yeah I was wondering if that might be a problem, but it seems like I would at least be getting some service bars from verizon towers. also after boost activated it, I activated it with selectel and they had no problems. I think that would auto deactivate the ESN with boost.....at least that's how its worked for me in the past.
but thats a good thought, thanks!
I changed some settings around and now I'm getting bars for service but my phone says "No Service". same thing if I try and make a call "Mobile Network Unavailable"
I checked to Selectel and my phone number is active and attached to this phones ESN.
any suggestions?
#EDIT#
ok I got it working! I had just messed up some of the system pref settings. running my moto g on selectel now! at least the phone part, haven't really messed with data yet.

Good luck with data-- the boost variant has the HA and AAA key field locked down/read-only, so you're never going to get anything above 1x. No matter the password or the SPC code, those nv items are not able to be altered except OTA... at least for now.
Interesting, I haven't really messed with it yet. Others report getting 3g to work on the boost version just fine. But like I said I haven't messed with it

Let me know what you figure out with data. I know it can be done. I'm thinking of picking one up to mess around with. I wouldn't mind paying someone to flash but as much as I swap around phones I'd go broke. Rather just buy the instructions for the more tricky parts.

3g is working great now. getting good speeds and its not intermittent at all. for some reason when I only had 1x working it was super intermittent.
anyway I've been hesitant to write a "guide" because this is the first phone I've flashed and I definitely did a lot of trial and error. there are some steps where I foolishly changed several settings at once, and admittedly have no idea if they all needed to be changed or if just one of them made the difference.
also its still not 100%, I haven't gotten MMS or viocemail notification to work. haha. I'm using the apk from @Viper32 in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2270191 for voicemail notification but it never worked for me. and I just downloaded 8sms from the play store and changed the settings, but still no MMS, even when not connected to wifi. so I'll have to mess with those things later.
anyway I didn't use a donor phone for data. the only programs I used where trial versions of cdma workshop, dfs, and qpst. I think the step that did the trick for 3g was using qpst to write 10.key to a new folder called DMU.
1.connect phone in diag mode to your computer
2.open qpst configuration, make sure your phone port is there and phone is active.
3. open efs explorer from the start clients menu
4.on the Left side of the efs explorer. right click and go to new > directory
5. name the directory "DMU" without the quotation marks then
6. place the 10.key file into that directory by drag and drop then exit qpst
i think those are the steps that gave me 3g after everything else was flashed but maybe others have more info!
thanks

for MMS have you tried verizon's app from the app store? I initially used it and tested MMS and it worked.
I changed the apn settings under ##data## and then tried the stock messaging app for MMS and it worked.
MMSC = http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms
Port = 80
Proxy = null
as for voicemail notice. it doesn't work and I don't think its going to work. i think this has something to do with some of the system sprint firmware and differences in the voicemail notification message sent between sprint and verizon networks.
I use youmail app from the app store for voicemail.
I'm having some trouble getting better than 1xRTT data after trying the 10.key into DMU folder trick.
Do you mind posting some of your NAM/Data/Mobile IP tabs from DFS? (with private info crossed out)
Would like to understand if the options I have on/off/selected are in the ball park.
Here are my settings to achieve 1xRTT

@cpuspeed thanks for the info. good to know about voicemail notification. those are the settings I have for MMS. I haven't tried loading an actual APN file, I was just changing settings in ##data# and in the sms program itself. so maybe I will try that.
@imkey EDIT: sent you a pm with my settings. I could also post it here if people want. but I really have no idea if my settings are correct. seem to be working though.

I just picked one up at target for 79. I am going to mess around with it. If will try and put up a guide also to help out if I can get everything figured out and organized. For 100 bucks or less this would be a great phone to get a guide for to help some do-it-yourselfer's out.
I posted this in the other general section of Samsung Galaxy Note 5 and figured I would post it here too since it is for Sprint Note 5's.
I found this in Sprint Note 4 section by @llawen, who found it in the Note 3 section and I can confirm it still works on Sprint Note 5!!
All credit goes to @idone. Not my work. Just sharing here.
You MUST BE ROOTED for this method.
Download sqlite editor from playstore (Speed Software version, which is a paid app....BUT if you know your way around that, then you're good ).
Open sqlite editor,
select files.
Then
/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db/
Select carriers.
The last 2 lines (APN2LTE internet) and (APN2 EHRPD internet) you will see (default,mms), add ,dun.
It will look like this
default,mms,dun
Make changes in both lines and save, reboot, and enjoy.

FOR NON ROOTED PHONES:
First step is to get your MSL number either by calling Sprint Customer Service, or trying this method here on AndroidForums:
[GUIDE] Easy way to get MSL without calling Sprint or using CMDA Workshop
After getting your MSL number follow these steps (originally posted by @MasterTentacles in the Sprint Note 4 Section):
Go to Dialer and enter ##DATA# (##3282#)
Press "Edit" then enter your MSL.
Click on APN Settings
For both "APN2 EHRPD internet" and "APN2 LTE internet" change APN Type from "default,mms" to "default,mms,dun"
After you enter the change, hit Menu -> Save before going to the next APN.
AND THAT'S IT!!! YOU NOW HAVE HOTSPOT!!!
But be aware, if you update PRL, you will have to redo these steps....
THIS IS ONLY A GOOD WORKAROUND UNTIL A FULL NATIVE HOTSPOT IS MADE.
Enjoy!!
Anyone else have issues with a constant prompt of enabling wifi will turn off mobile hotspot, very annoying!

once rooted all you need to do is install Galaxy Tools
and click enable native hotspot (then reboot)
it will also show your MSL

Yes this constant prompt is really annoying. Have you guys figured out a way to stop the prompt. I assume this is part of Sprint's Connection Optimizer software being enabled by default by trying to kick you onto wifi whenever its available even though I disabled the "Always allow scanning" when Wifi is off.

I have an issue with this. I can enable the hotspot and it does, but I cannot connect any device to internet through this device, they get stuck at obtaining IP address.
I also tried using foxfi and it is exactly the same, it even shows the MAC address of the device trying to connect, but it seems this phone never gives it an IP address.

If you don't care about Pay, trip knox and run one of the deodexed builds in android development here that have MSL already disabled and Hotspot already hacked.

I found a way to enable wifi Hotspot. I stumbled across a file on the root of my SD card (external) while moving some files around. I decided to try and edit this file and wifi Hotspot works even after a reboot.
Mod Edit - hiding since it doesn't work as a Wifi Hotspot hack. Also revised title to better reflect situation.
Download ES File Explorer (you could use any other file Explorer, but I used ES).
Navigate to the root of the SD card and select the file shown.

Once you tap on it to select it, another prompt come up asking what format to use to open it. I selected text file.
Then it wants an app...
Once open, mine showed "2" so I tapped the edit button to change it.
I deleted the 2 and entered "1" (why not?) lol
Then I tapped the button in the top right corner to save and got the following
After that I went into my Hotspot settings and turned it on.
Grabbed my work phone and connected
Verified on my S7
Then I went into about phone to double check that I was on the right software version (the one that doesn't allow us to edit APN settings)
Hope this works on other phones.
It survives a reboot. We could probably change permissions to read only once we confirm this works for more folks.
If this works for you, hit the like button.

So since the update (I never tried hotspot before) I've been able to turn my hotspot on no matter what. I haven't changed any settings on my phone. Maybe they took the lock off but will charge you if you use it? Has anyone take the update and NOT been able to turn hotspot on?

OP, did you have that SD card in a Nexus phone before? A google search leads me to believe that's file comes from a Nexus.
Are you sure you accomplished anything here? On my S7 I've always been able to turn hotspot ON and OFF. And it allows connections, but that is only when your already connected to WiFi. As soon as you activate mobile network. The subscription msg pops up. I am using the PC5 update and the APN settings remain greyed out. I have that dun_status file and editing it appears to have no effect what so ever. The only way to get hotspot to stay on without the subscription msg is by rebooting and quickly activating hotspot before everything initializes. I'm sure this hack will be patched soon as well. I'm not sure what cfg_dun_status does. It may have something to do with hotspot but I'm not sure we're there yet.
Thanks for your efforts.

I used it in an LG G4 previously, however, before I began using it on this phone, I formatted it.
Weird part is my APN settings were grayed out like everyone else's (I checked last week when I got the phone and saw what version number I was on). Now they're able to be edited.

@daddymikey1975 If you can offer us more proof, I think more people would be willing to finally update their devices if we can keep the hotspot.
If you could post the file, or PM it to me, I'l like to investigate. I can post it to Google drive or Dropbox.
OP, can you try with wifi turned off? From your screen shot, you are connected to wifi. Aren't you just doing wifi share? Please turn wifi off, connect to LTE/3G and try and see if it works.

I do not see that file on my SDcard even with items unhidden.
OP you posted APN settings that are greyed out. if you scroll down and show APN type that is what we are looking for "default,mms,dun". Also hotspot can work on WIFI for most and it looks like you are on WIFI. Can you go to your data signal and try again. Fill us in on your success. we can hope right guys.
I don't think OP was doing 'true hotspot'. Just wifi sharing. His screen shot shows wifi connected with hotspot on.

Was just looking at that file, and trying to figure out how that could do anything. Then came back here and see that it actually wasn't.
But I learned something. I didn't know that kind of WiFi sharing was possible. Not sure what the advantage is compared to just connecting directly to the same router, but it's interesting.
FWIW, I'm sending this using WiFi tethering after the Sprint update. I updated the APN settings prior to applying the update, and they're still working, at least until I get a PRL or Profile update.
I still have my verizon unlimited data plan. Currently my iphone is jailbroken so I can use the hotspot feature.
I assume the hotspot feature will be off when I get my non-vzw pixel. Is there a way to turn it on without rooting? Its been couple of years since I had an android phone.

There's a workaround in the pixel xl forum and I'm sure this will be implemented better once rom development begins.
I tried to go into the APN settings with Quick Shortcut Maker, but I also have no root and it said something like current user has no access to APN settings. Root is probably required, or at least some kind of workaround.

The workaround is extremely simple. You just download Network Signal Refresher and refresh and then on hotspot. Done.
What's the differencedifferent between a Hotspot and a Hotspot? Android comes with a wifi hotspot feature. Why doesn't that work for you?

Huh, it's blocked when using Sprint.
Anyone using the Pixel on T-Mobile and able to get native tethering working? My Pixel is still on order so I am wondering if the command *adb shell content query --uri content://settings/global --where "name='tether_dun_required' AND value=0" still works to activate native tethering.

The rumors in the XL forum are saying that while network refresher works, many have it cut out after 10-20 minutes and having to do it again.
Sorry, got busy yesterday and didn't get a chance to test it.
The shell command did not work for me on my Pixel 5. I tried running it while the hotspot was active, then while it was inactive. Using the commands gave no feedback in the command line, just went back to the empty send line, and I'm not sure what a successful edit looks like. As mentioned by others the airplane mode trick did not work for me, and while the refresh app method does work for activating the hotspot, I get no internet access when connecting to it. I also tried messing around with the build.prop file, but as expected I wasn't able to edit it without root access.
For reference, I'm going from this comment that gives the command as
Code:
adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/system --bind name:s:tether_dun_required --bind value:i:0
I found another command that changes it slightly to
Code:
adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/global --bind name:s:tether_dun_required --bind value:i:0
...but this also did not work.
Now that theirs root. What needs to get done to get wifi tethering working
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
With root you should be able to get into the APN settings. Check a guide if you're unfamiliar with it, it's buried kinda deep but pretty straightforward. Searching for 'android tether apn dun' should do it. I only learned there's root now from you so I'll go test it out myself. Thanks!
---------- Post added at 09:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 PM ----------
Just did it, root will get you functioning hotspot on Sprint, possibly for other people too who were having the same problem after getting the hotpost on. I ran the first code above ( adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/system --bind name:s:tether_dun_required --bind value:i:0 ) while the hotspot happened to be off, and after turning it back on I was able to get internet through it on other devices. If you try this with the hotspot on please report back so we know if it needs to be either particular setting.
Just having root itself has not enabled the normal hotspot switch locations, like in the notification drawer or in the tethering settings, and I still had to use the network refresh trick to get them to work. This may need another command to insert/change the correct protection setting, or something else entirely.
I also went back to the APN settings through the shortcut maker and received the same error I had before, about this user not being able to access them.
On a related note, I saw some people mention that their hotspot would automagically turn off after 10-20 minutes, so I'll post this now and keep an eye on whether it does so here, as I never watched before.
Is this problem US only? Tethering works fine in the UK.

So it ends up clearing all saved Wifi networks. Sounds like your Saved List might be corrupt. You should always be able to "forget" a network

I apologize. I did not explain clearly and I will edit my post.
I do not WANT to forget the network because I want to use it sometimes to accesses a device (but this device does not access internet).
When I don't need to access the device I prefer to connect to the internet and, therefore, I need to use the phone carrier data plan. But to improve google maps I also need to keep the WiFi radio on.

For that, you don't actually need WiFi on - Location services has access to the wifi radio for scanning assuming you haven't disabled that in location settings.

Yes, exactly. That is why I don't want to turn off or disable the WiFi radio.
So, if I don't disable the WiFi radio, how do I set the phone to only connect to that network when I need and not automatically? How do I set it up in such s way that when I step into the car it does not connect automatically to that network (that has no intent access)?

Turn off wifi in settings or with the quick toggle. Make sure scanning is enabled under settings / security & location (or the equivalent in EMUI, I don't remember where it is as I've only run EMUI momentarily over the past several months).
The radio itself will not be completely powered down - it'll still be available for location services to use for scanning.

I was not aware that google maps will not be affected by toggling off WiFi. Thank you for taking your time to help me.
While it's good news that I can google off Wi-Fi for google maps, I keep forgetting my Wi-Fi on (I have the habit to keep it on at all times) so I keep loosing all WhatsApp/Viber messages and calls.
So is there absolutely no way to NOT connect automatically to a network if the radio is ON?

Most of the time, personally, I end up turning wifi off, as it's a real pain when you're moving through access points (and the device insists on holding the connection), so unless I know I'm going to have a stable connection and I'm staying in the same place for a while, I almost universally leave it off...

I appreciate that your circumstances are different but I always have Wi-Fi (work/home) and I don't move a lot so it's always on.
Is there absolutely no way to avoid automatic network connection when WiFi is on?

Can anyone help me understand how to stop automatic network connection?

use wifi plus
Try a WiFi prioritising software... And give lowest priority to the one you don't want to use. Had one of those with kitkat and worked flawlessly

This app will not install on android 8.0 because it's an unknown source.
I then googled now to install unknown sources but my Huawei Mate 9 has different menu options from all googled step by step explanations how to install apps from unknown sources. Huawei Mate 9 android 8.0 lacks the bottom box "special access"
I attach 2 images of the 2 stumbling blocks.
Can you suggest a different Apk or how to install apps from unknown sources?

First of all thank you for the advice add time.
I installed 3 different prioritizing apps but none had the option to prioritize data connection over WiFi or the option to exclude a specific network when the phone WiFi radio is ON.

Thank you! Looks like this app has the option that I need!
It's been scanning for networks for 10 minutes already (preferred WiFi Networks is still scanning) but I guess that the first time it takes a bit longer. As soon as it's ready I will test it!

The app keeps scanning for preferred WiFi Networks endlessly. I wrote to tech support and they will compile a specific code for my Huawei Mate 9 running Android 8.0. Apparently WiFi Switcher does not run on my device!
