Anyway to hotspot? - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

Just got the phone and hotspot is important to me. Has anybody figured out a way to get it past the subscription prompt.
Thanks

I suspect that you'd need root to edit build.prop or something else to bypass the subscription prompt.

Sometimes, not always.
Just hoping someone figures something out soon.

just got an s8+ today and found out that the native hotspot will work if you pop sim tray out, it will then take you to lock screen, push sim card tray back in, pull down tray and turn on hotspot. You may get an error saying no sim installed but just keep pushing hotspot button until it recognizes the sim. It is working on mine now but now I am trying to figure out how I can disable ota updates so they can't disable it with a newer android version. Anyone have any help for me? Thanks

Wonder if the adb thing I did with my s7e works ....

I got the Sprint hotspot working with two adb commands

As i know , maybe the root can help us, but the root program is very dangerous, more and more Android user have met the data get lost after rooted

Not for me. I've rooted all my Android phones thus far.

You can block SDM.apk with this debloater if you don't want to be nagged anymore. Seeing that the update was already downloaded you will have to enter recovery mode and clear cache to get rid of the install nag. After you do that and disable SDM.apk you will no longer get the notification. I went ahead and installed it anyways because I'm not too concerned with root. I'd rather have a secure device.

Your welcome. I feel the same here. My S6 lost root the Note 4 never had it except the dev ed I had for a short time so I got used to no root as well. With the debloater it's no big deal for me anymore and being able to theme really settled the issue for me. I can do basically everything I want and still have a secure phone without worrying when root will get killed. I do miss building ROMs a little but I can deal without it.
weird layout after update
So I took the update and since the all my menus are on the right side of screen, my send button in text is now on the left side as well as my statusbar icons. Nobody else mentioned this. Is it just my n5?

Unlocked Sprint LS996 wont activate on Sprint

I inadvertently purchased a international unlocked LS996 from a ebay seller not realizing it until I tried to activate it on Sprint today. So hoping dd'ing ZV6 stock image would remove whatever the seller did for some reason still will not activate on sprint. Profile/PRL both fail. I have updated to ZV7 as well with no luck. I get 3g data. no lte or calls. I had called sprint and they said they had issues provisioning phones today and had a backlog. Not sure if i believe them or if its something with the phone
What else needs to be done to get this back working on sprint?
Anyone?
Does flashing the stock system bring the phone back to stock, or is it that what the seller did unable to activate on sprint now?

what you need is the original node.db files from the carrier folder
but you need your phone rooted for doing this.
then you can flash back to stock with the corresponding system image and the OTA update to ZV9.
I will upload this files for you in case you cant find them. :good:

Yeah I didnt have the original ones on this phone. It came like this. So if you could upload them that would be great im rooted already on ZV9.
Althugh Im haveing a weird issue with wifi saying no internet access when i know my home network is fine...is this related?
Also what are the permissions supposed to be on the /carrier/app/ folder and the node files?

I think i found the files. LTE data is working. Calls are not. Updating profile and prl fail. Device phone number is unknown.
Why is there multiple threads on how to unlock, but nothing on how to restore to get working on sprint again?

Thats because the majority of us buy the phone NOT to use it with sprint but with any other carrier Domestic or INTL.

I understand that but usually there is a method to revert changes. What if someone wanted to sell the phone?
I need to figure this out or try to return it soon. Im close but I cant find any information on what is supposed to be in the carrier folder and the original permissions .
A tot flash will brick the device since im on ZV9 correct?

DO NOT FLASH TO ZV5
I resolved my issues. I will update the op for anyone one who need instructions to revert to stock for the carrier partition to use on Sprint since there is no documentation to undo on these forums.

Please do update OP. I'm in a similar boat- unlocked phone that I did manage to activate on sprint but I cannot get several things to work such as: updating PRL, updating profile, visual VM to pick up messages. All of these throw up Authentication Failed messages. Otherwise the phone does generally work well on sprint's networks. There's another thread in here somewhere that outlines the process I (and others) had to go through to get activation to work though it does not seem flawless given these other persistent issues.

[MOD] Enable wireless tether 5x - flashable

All,
I already know there is a 'guide' on how to do this, however, that is a manual process that one must perform every time we do a system update, or whatever.
I created a flashable you can flash in recovery that will write the line is it does not exist. I have tested this a few time on my 5x, and it works flawlessly, simple, and easy.
This is only for stock 5x unmodified build.prop file. This MAY work on the 6p but not making any promises on that one.
Also this ONLY modifies the build.prop file only if need be
Best Regards
This is great and all, but do you know if you can add the last extra line in? It's for us Sprint users, the whole put global tether thing.

Yes, with the space. I don't know if the other half is needed (adb shell settings put) but maybe someone could test it for you? Not me because I already have tethering set up on my phone and will be away from my computer for the rest of this month

I was just reading the following guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-5x/general/guide-how-to-unlock-tethering-nexus-5x-t3231301
On page 5 i believe people are stating that this is unnecessary to get tether to work.
I already asked in that thread what that does, because in my testing it does not do anything for wifi tether. I'm still on VZW with grandfathered unlimited plan. I can't say about sprint users. Maybe one will chime in that successfully got it to work and if that line is really needed.

I don't know how to implement that command into a flashable zip file atm. I will have to ask around, most likely tomorrow i will post it in the general section.
I am wondering if that writes to some file, and if so what. I am thinking possibly an xml file.
Maybe one of the XML file within: system\customize ? idk, but it sounds like it would write something somewhere.
If i could examine a sprint rom.zip I might be able to locate it if it has it enabled

That's the thing, there are no specific Sprint ROMs. All ROMs are the same, but when it comes to service that's where things get mucky with this. So maybe it is something within a data provision XML or something. Because without that line, yes, tethering is enabled, but it doesn't connect. After that line is implemented, then everything works as normal.

Has anyone tried it on T-Mobile?
Where you able to get the zip to work on Sprint? Thanks so much for creating this!
Hello,
I'm trying to figure out how to use this on my nexus 5x. I'm looking over the instructions on the nexus 5x beginner's tutorial, and was wondering how you actually run this script. I've performed the` manual tethering = true` thing before, but i haven't figured out how to use this one. I've restored everything to factory state and the only thing different from OEM is that the Bootloader is unlocked. I've tried to `adb sideload` the zipfile, but i get an error stating "verification failed, installation aborted" error. Thanks a lot for your help guys

If you want to use it, you must enable OEM unlock in developer options, and unlock bootloader in fastboot mode, and flash TWRP.

Hey CNBLACK,
I believe I did what you've detailed. If it makes sense- this is what i did from completely stock.
1) Unlock USB debugging, and eventually unlock the bootloader
2) Reboot into fastboot mode,
3) fastboot boot TWRP-3.1.~ (whatever the latest build is)
4) adb sideload/install Enable_tether.zip
5) reboot.
The reboot stays on the 4 dot animation screen for 5+ minutes. Should i be waiting longer, or did I make a mistake during the TWRP flashing section? Thanks again for your help!
Update #2: Alright, in order for everything to work, i had to root my phone... So yes, it works for me now
Update: it eventually booted up after doing aforementioned steps. However hotspot will still not work- it still checks for subscription status. I'm running the Android 8.0.0 Security patch level: Sept 5, 2017 Build number: OPR4.170623.006.

This MOD's goal is to enable your nexus 5x to be used as a wifi hotspot without having to pay for the "upgrade" with your wireless provider. Not sure if it's just me, but even with the line
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true

in my build.prop, my phone still checks for subscription status, and therefore will not allow me to start a hotspot.

Erased OS!! And Cant access Download Mode because Kill Switch

Ok I think I really may have messed up big time with this guys so I'm begging for some help.
]So I just recently bought a AT&T LG G3 on ebay in excellent condition everything worked great until I started experimenting. I rooted it using KingRoot but later decided I'd rather use another method of root because I prefer SuperSu to manage my root access...Anyways to make a long story very short. I needed to get into download mode but Kill Switch had already locked me out because I rooted it..I did not know that McAfee would lock my phone when I rooted.. and so as a last ditch effort I attempted to wipe the entire drive and re-flash the OS well to my surprise that did completely erase the OS as expected but not the Kill Switch. So now im stuck at LG Welcome screen and cant do anything.. I'm at the mercy of the web help PLEASE!!! smh

Yea the SIM unlock is permanently locked and I havent even had the opportunity to put a unlock code in. After finally getting the Download mode working and getting the OS back on it Dial 2945#*850# to insert unlock code and it says "this phone is permanently locked and can not be unlocked" I haven't even made a wrong attempt at it yet its just already locked.

I have been trying to root to see if through it I will solve Alcatel 7 tether problem. I am not able to use tether via the native hotspot and USB tethering app. Each time I turn on the switch I get the error message "Settings has stopped," and then the window closes. Easy Tether does not work either, even though I get a "connection established" status the app, yet no message or icon of connection on Linux distro Mint 18.

U can try to use pdanet for USB tethring. However it is not guaranteed because the app setting does not allow "dun" as apn type anymore. However,I did successfully use the pdanet wifi direct method to connect my Chromebook. It was successful but be aware of the "run proxy" fucntion needs to be avtivated. You can access through help section for the app. However. u have to keep the screen on because it will be killed after screen off for couple minutes. I did exclude it from battery optimization but no luck. If it is screen on it should be alright. I don't have the apn dun problem with my stylo 4 though..... maybe because my Alcatel 7 is still locked and stylo 4 is already unlocked. Hope this info helps.:good:

I figured out a way to add dun in apn type. Just add it and do not press save, directly press home button and then go back to apn settings and check, it should be automatically saved when u pressed the home button. Hope this helps.

Got it thanks. I think I may have found a way to get Easy Tether working, but I will try this method you have shown me.

nvmd got it and working
If anyone wants to get it root it just follow the instruction that Warlockguitarman has but with a few modifications to the commands
first make sure to back up with python mtk rf flash.bin and save it somewhere else cause its like 30GB
then do
"python mtk rl" out to get the boot.bin
to unlock the boot loader use
"python mtk da seccfg unlock"
then just follow the magisk app part to patch the boot.bin and make sure u save when u get it to the PC side to save it as
boot.img to make it easier and use this command
"python mtk w boot boot.img"
and ur done, super easy but a little time consuming for the most part
make sure to back up, back up back up, dont be lazy with it just in case
been looking for way for a long time since i got the phone around 2018 and this is the only way it worked
