Moto G3 (2015) hotspot problem on rooted device

I own Moto G3 (2015) duel sim Indian edition (XT1550). I am using 3G data plan of Tata Docomo. I have rooted my device successfully and have root access. Everything works almost fine except hotspot. Whenever I try to make mobile hotspot to use mobile internet on my laptop, I was unable to do so. I can make hotspot, I can connect my laptop to that wireless hostpot. However I am not able to connect to internet on my laptop.
I have used other non-root Moto G (same model) to make hotspot from same internet provider and it works. Alternatively I also tried connecting wifi hotspot from different device and with different mobile operator. That also works. Only problem comes when I am using my rooted device . I have tried changing APN in mobile network settings, so far no luck. Any idea ?

I have moto g3 on cm13 and mine hotspot works fine. Try flashing a custom rom.

I have already updated on rooted device by reflashing stock. So my device is up to date. But this hotspot problem was still there :/

Try connect with open hotspot ...without security..
Just set security to none.

What to do next?(H950 to Tmobile)

So I am on T-mobile and I purchased a new H950 from Ebay. Phone came in today popped in the sim and calls and texts worked great! I know APN has to be changed for data. My thing is im not sure how to start going about rooting. I read a bunch of things on here about 2 different stock roms. i will say 5.0.1 H95010d is on the phone now. When I connected to check for an update the LG center said there was nothing. So what method should I use to root?
Also I know I can use TB to get rid of the At&t bloat, but is there a good rom out there that plays well with T-mobile?
Thanks in advance

There is a good chance Marshmallow is coming to the Flex 2...eventually. You won't be able to receive any OTA updates once you modify the system partisan (AKA root). Granted, you can always un-root, but its happened where even un-rooting will result in OTA failing.
There is also no KDZ or any restore method for the ATT Flex 2. If you mess up, get soft-bricked (which has happened to people here before), the only solution is to send it to LG.
Also, LG Update Center is telling you there is no update, because you need an ATT sim to get OTA updates (since it's an ATT phone, must connect to ATT servers to get ATT updates).

Thanks for that info. I guess I'll just stick with KK for now. It did come with an At&t sim but im guessing it wont work without service.
Since root is needed I would go ahead and risk it. Is there a certain method to use for KK?
Thanks

My recomendations, backup partitions from download mode, all exept data and internal storage.
Then, flash pr 5.11 rom if you dont use wcdma band 900.
But backup everything so you can at least try to go back

You don't have KK. You have Lollipop (5.0.1 H95010d). 5.0.1 is really bad. You need to get to 5.1.1. You can either put H950PR
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/general/kdz-compatible-att-h950-t3180847
or try to get to 5.1.1 by using this method.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/general/guide-to-updating-h950-att-variant-to-5-t3231115
After that you can root the phone using this.

or this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/development/root-easy-root-att-flex-2-5-1-1-t3178354
You can install the paid version of TB and freeze the AT&T bloat ware. Don't try to uninstall them, just freeze them.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/general/ti-backup-bloatware-freeze-list-t3183221
And if you are brave, use ChainFire to install Xposed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/general/xposed-flex-2-g4-tried-t3181866
Xposed modules seems to be a miss-or-hit for this phone (more miss than hit).
That's what I do with mine (purchased through dailysteals).
I want MM too but I can't wait that long. I'll figure out how to get to MM when it comes out. Hopefully the bootloader is unlocked by then.

Thanks for this. Everything worked well besides LTE...... I never been on At&T but does their H+ mean LTE? I changed to the TM bands but still not working i dont think

You need to add the TMobile APN. (fast.t-mobile.com). You can google it and there a ton of info on it.

What about Hotspot?

What about enabling Hotspot? I have the same phone as you (H950 on Tmobile bought from probably the same seller on ebay and just received yesterday), but with my TM SIM, I have LTE but no Hotspot. I get an "unknown network error".
I have entered the APN settings already and have the 4G LTE symbol at the top.
Also, getting the 5.1.1 seems elusive. I put my working ATT SIM in when I got the phone yesterday and left it in for a few hours. Kept checking for updates, erasing the phone and restarting to reset the 24hr update timer, but no 5.1.1 joy. So still stuck on 5.0.1.
How long does it take to get 5.1.1? When I check for updates with my ATT SIM card in, why doesn't it come up as available?

Wifi hotspot works for me. Just tried it on a tablet and my PS4 just to test. But I cant get LTE, hahaha seems like we are the opposite there.
I had the same issue with the At&t sim, and pretty much gave up on that. So I flashed the 5.1,1 PR version that @epofhouston posted and it works so far. I do get an error on boot but it seems fine. So I would try that . Maybe thats why my hotspot works.

I'll look into it. I've since read of many others in the same boat with regards to hotspot/tmobile and ATT&T unlocked phones.
What does the "PR" stand for (I have a guess, but don't want to look foolish!).
Thanks.

That was my guess.
When enabling the Hotspot, it trys ("Authenticating...") then says "Authentication was unsuccessful. There is a temporary network problem that prevents the enablement of the Mobile Hotspot function. Please retry later."
I get the same error on another ATT unlocked phone (a ZTE ZMAX 2) but not on my unlocked Amazon Fire Phone. It works there. My TM account does have Tethering/Hotspot included.

Note 5 SM-920P bought in China

I bought a Note 5 which worked fine with China Unicom, the phone was 5.1.1 so I decided to manually update the phone to mm. After the update the phone can make calls, but it can't pick up data signal. I've tried everything from flashing the modem back to 5.1.1 (which was the one that worked, originally) but no dice. I was wondering if anyone had a solution to this. The phone isn't rooted and its constantly trying to activate its voice and data, even though the voice all ready works.

Enter the APN settings manually for your network. The same happened to me on my Unlocked N920P. I entered the APN (Airtel India) and deleted all the others. On upgrading, it will automatically pick up the Sprint APNs. So add a new APN and enter your setting for your network manually.

It happened to me too. The first step was the APN. changed the APN manually on mine but still it seemed no data connection was active. On step two I discovered that even the data seems not active, in reality there was a data connection and everything was working, but the icon was not showing due to something missing in the Sprint's SystemUI data connection icons.
So, try to put your apn manually and try and check if there is a data connection, i.e. using the browser to navigate.

Open the notification panel - touch the "down arrow" symbol on the upper right corner to show all the icons and look there must be the data connection icon you're looking for.
As for the update: Updated myself to MM and everything works fine with the exception of 4G. This is not something caused by the update but because the LTE-4G bands the phone works are not compatible. Check yourself @ willmyphonework.net

Flash pure GSM kind of roms.
First go to official MM by ODIN, root it,
Via TWRP, flash Lamlazy ROM or aurora rom which is compatible rom without sprint stuff.
Try this rom http://bbs.gfan.com/android-8394771-1-1.html
Download link pan.baidu.com/s/1c2JZgje PW kr10
I didn't try yet. but it says N920p supported. If u are on sprint, am not sure how it works.. but GSM should work well.
That V7 of Lamlazy can be found here -- thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=153

sm-n920p rooted

Has anyone found a solution for the missing hotspot option in the settings, I am on metropcs(for now) so with that being said I have the MLS # and adding dun to the apn didn't help. I am rooted running a MOAR rom, I even tried editing the database file like suggested. Is there a rom that takes care of this or am I selling my new used phone?

Use a custom ROM to get the Hotspot. Go to the Sprint area and search for the Teleteam ROMs. There is a CDMA and GSM version, use the correct for your carrier network.
____
FYI: You MAY need to do a domestic unlock with octoplus box to get the hotspot.

Thanks, i tried a couple different roms, last night i loaded the Teleteam s8 oreo and that did the trick.

Sprint version unlocked work T-Mobile WiFi calling?

I have been offered a great deal to buy a Sprint Essential version that has been unlocked. Does anybody have the Sprint unlocked version and verify TMobile WiFi calling works?

A million thanks, it's been hard trying to find a clear option on Google. Most carrier unlocked phone won't work with other carriers WiFi calling due to the firmware. To bad there isn't a Essential phone 2 planned anymore
So those APN's pertain to the WiFi calling? Never new that lol

No the apn is just the one I use here in Ohio. To enable the feature you need to flash an open market firmware. Go to the essential site and install the P update, it's super easy to sideload. Or if u want Oreo, the July Oreo open market firmware works and has WiFi calling. I got my essential from sprint and it was there soon as I flashed a open market firmware.all that means is it's the non carrier specific firmware that has all features

Is there a version of Android P with open market Firmware?
Hey just out of curiosity do you know if the phone is carrier locked, will flashing the open market Firmware, will it unlock it?

Yes the one on there is open market.and yes,flashing the open market firmware will carrier unlock it. Not all phones, just with essential.it was a "loose" Carrier lock

The one I'm getting is already carrier unlocked, for $200 in mint condition with the 360 camera is too good too pass up
But good to know

Update
I installed the Pie Sprint/ Open Market fastboot file but when I try to turn on WiFi calling the UI closed and takes me to lockscreen. I'm going to download the March 2018 fastboot file since it only has an option for Open Market only and then try to update over the air to Pie

Yes, I typed "fastboot flashing unlock" and it promoted me on the phone to unlock it. After I downloaded the Pie fastboot file and typed "flashall.bat" and it took a few minutes to install. Actually my TMobile still card was working and after trying different build it Sim locked it.
After it Sim locked I unlocked the bootloader and tried to flash different builds and letting it boot with the bootloader locked and unlocked and no lock. I just wanted the TMobile WiFi calling lol
The guy I bought the phone from contacted Sprint and sent a unlock request. I hope it unlockes it. I guess it is carrier locked through the bootloader and not the firmware. However that works

Before I tried flashing different builds same thing was happening on Pie when trying to activate WiFi calling but not sure if was an issue with Pie because the firmware is a Sprint Variant or because something because just a bug that hadn't been worked out yet

It unlocks it if u put in your t Mobile SIM before updating it.that unlocked mine. Then flash the updated firmware. Everything has worked flawlessly on Oreo or p. I have had only Oreo on it for a minute here in there when testing treble roms. When I needed to go back to stock before flashing p. For some reason when I would flash a treble gsi, then go back to p without flashing Oreo in between I would lose WiFi and Bluetooth. Make sure to do a fastboot -w before flashing.

When I was playing with it after it had sim locked, went back to nougat just to see if the TMobile WiFi worked but after a minute or two it Sim locked and wouldn't even let open the lockscreen. After that I had gone back to either Oreo out Pie but not sure and it had sim unlocked. But after that I tried flashing different firmwares just to try to see if the TMobile WiFi would work but it Sim locked it again and couldn't get it to unlock it after.
What you mean fastboot -w before flashing?
You think I should flash a Oreo firmware first with my sim in it, let it boot then flash Pie or
Flash Oreo firmware, not let it boot then flash, Pie firmware?
Or should I flash the Oreo firmware that update to Pie through OTA file through ADB?

Finally got my phone unlocked. I'm on Pie but when I try to turn WiFi calling the app closes. Has anybody had any luck with it?

Your Pie correct with WiFi calling working correctly? I read on Reddit users had luck by installing the open market firmware, setting up the phone and WiFi calling, then installing the OTA to Pie and got it working
I tried so many combinations to unlock but no luck. Luckily the guy I bought it from let have his old Sim card. Left it there for an hour. Changed the APN settings to global then inserted my Sim card and it unlocked

SOLUTION:
Well I finally got TMobile WiFi calling to work. Had to install Oreo open market firmware, setup TMobile WiFi calling and then update to Pie through OTA and now it works on Pie.
I saw a thread on Reddit where some people had luck by just resetting WiFi/Bluetooth/Network settings and then activating WiFi calling.
Also read that doing hard reset will cause you to lose WiFi calling for other companies other than Sprint. Good luck everybody
