hmm..interesting read..although I don't want to be on MetroPCS but another coolness to add for Evo

What about verizon?
How about flashing the evo to verizon? To us that have I/O evo our screw it should I just move to sprint

I would like to know that too

If you really want it on verizon you could ask an authorized verizon retailer to basically do this same thing for you. they love signing people up this way as they get to pocket the normal phone subsidy ($250 on the evo).

does 3g work?

metro 3g...

doesnt metro pcs use sprint towers?

Well you can pretty much get Verizon coverage from that other thread using Altell's towers. Too bad ping gets raised, but hell... way better signal and speedtests

Congratulations buddy!
Thanks a hell of a lot for giving us this how to guide. I really appreciate it
Just had 3 questions:
1) Are you getting 3g data in Atlanta or is it just Edge?
2) What plan did you sign up for at MetroPCS?
3) If you decide you don't like MetroPCS, how do you reverse this process back to Sprint service?
Thanks again for figuring this out

that probably depends on the tower coverage for the specific geographical location ...
i see the directions mention HTC Hero a few times. has anybody confirmed this works on the EVO?

Lol, I just spent all night trying to figure this out and you have made it very easy. Thanks. The Diag Drivers link doesn't work but I am sure we could find it somewhere else.
I do have one question. Do you still need to have a Metro PCS dealer add the ESN to their network?

Yes the ESN needs to be added to Metro's inventory. I had them add it and wallaahhh!

What works and what doesn't?
Can you list what works and what does not? I'm particularly curious about a stable 3G.

I see... so for $50/mo (contract free) I can get the the same things that Sprint is offering me for $80/mo. When you minus the extra cost to buy the phone full retail $449 vs $199 on contract you actually saving about $570 over a two year period...
Hard choice

3G unstable
I have tried many configurations and no matter what I do, it seems that the "mobile network" connection is not stable. It will go out periodically and say "connection failed" or "turning on". Can you verify that you are not having this issue?
Also, this obviously does not bypass the WAP proxy which is used by Cricket. This means that other protocols, such as those used in navigation software and YouTube, are going to be blocked by the proxy server. Does anyone know a way around this?

google around for the droid eris cricket tutorial. that has the proper method to set it up, and it works on all other cdma htc android phones.
i believe it is posted on howardfourms under the cricket section.

I myself was wondering if it was the same because I flashed my evo to cricket the same way just off of flashing know how....going to try and see if the Eris method matches what needs to be done to the evo and will report back

Native Tethering bypass, anyone?

Have any rooted users been able to bypass the native Tethering check?
I'm on t-mobile and my usual go to app (wifi for root ) is not working anymore

I'm on tmo, so I don't have to bother with unlocking tethering.
build.prop is initialized early during the boot process, so it should work regardless of what tether entitlement checks may be built in.
This is an extremely easy mod to do/undo; don't be afraid.
Remember to post back and verify whether or not it works, so others can benefit.

I pick up my phone today. I will root and make the change suggested. I will report back ASAP.
Just a quick question. I have a 5GB Tethering limit and an Unlimited (No throttle) native Data Limit. Will this mod remove the tethering limit? Will T-Mo still see my usage or will this mod replace my Tethering with my native data plan (Unlimited) I only ask because I would greatly like to avoid any unexpected charges.
Thanks,

I would also like to know if it will be available for AT&T. It is very important to me as I have it in my S4. My WiFi is very spotty at home and I use my tethering everyday when I need it to be reliable for a few min.

Hi all. I was not able to get the tmobile native tethering to work. No matter what I tried I always got the verifying account pop-up.

First I rooted with CF.
Then I followed the directions to edit the APN from the S5 forum. I changed the protocol from IP6 to IP4.
Then I reinstalled Wi-Fi Tether for root. Followed the setup directions for the S5.
Started the app up. Was good to go.
I'm replying from my phone. I'll update later with more details and links. But that is about it to get tethering.

How to make your APN editable, follow step 3
XDA Link
Settings for Wi-Fi Tether Rooter
For Samsung Galaxy S5 using this config
Interface wlan0
Method 3 - HostApd
Encryption wpa2-psk
Channel 1
Drivers nl80211

"No Firmware Reload" <- UNCHECKED
Detailed instructions from this thread ....
First your phone needs to be rooted, then you need to have ES File Explorer installed on your phone. You can use ES File Explorer to edit the file in the system folder.
1. Open ES File Explorer
2. Pull up the Menu for it (hold down the multitask button for that)
3. Tap on Tools
4. Turn on Root Explorer
5. Tap on Root Explorer on the left side and go to Mount R/W
6. Make sure all of the settings are set to RW, tap OK
7. Up top tap / that should take you to the root of the phone,
Now you should be able to follow the instructions to make your APN Editable. Make sure to also edit the one above the Tethering APN and enable it to be editable.
When you click on the file it opens it up in read only, you have to hit the menu in the top right corner to edit the file.
Be very careful and only change what he tells you to change. I would make a back up of the file and place it somewhere you know you can find it.
Once you have enabled the APN and saved the file restart your phone. Once you are restarted navigate to where the APN's are. System Settings, More Networks, Mobile Networks, Access Point Names. Once you are there click on the top right corner and tap Reset to Default. That should pull down the new settings so you can edit your APN settings.
Then follow these instructions.
Need to change your APN, simply navigate to Settings > More > Mobile networks > Access Point Names. Select your T-Mobile APN, and scroll to APN protocol. Change this to IPv4, and then save your APN

I would be concerned about ATT detecting this if you are grandfathered in. Waiting myself to see if there is a workaround like vpn.

not a native bypass but works....
All I do is, Replace TetheringProvision.apk with the modded one, change the permissions to 644 (rw-r--r--), go into customer.xml and change all non ims profiles to ipv4 (leave the ims protocols ipv6 or else VoLTE and WiFi-Calling will not work), go to settings and change the apn by adding dun to default,mms,supl and change it to ipv4. Then I reboot my phone. No reset apns needed. In this state you will still use hotspot allotment. That is because T-mobile is using user-agent strings to decipher device being used. Only way to fix that is to get a vpn and use it on the devices you connect to your hotspot. I have used almost a terabyte of data downloading tv shows and movies with no warnings or hotspot data allotment being used. The only allotment that gets used is the little bit that gets through while you connect to your vpn.

Sprint LG V20 Free Hotspot

You can PROBABLY do this without root IF you can coax Sprint into giving you your MSL code, go to the dialer and type ##3283#, going to APN Settings and hitting edit.
THIS method, however, only works if youve ran DirtySanta and rooted your device. I saw a few threads of ppl asking how to get it working so....here's how i did it.
Go to Settings-->Networks-->More-->Mobile Data-->Access Point Names-->Add APN
Name: Sprint LTE 2
APN: n.ispsn
MMSC: http://mms.sprintpcs.com
MMS Proxy: 68.38.21.7
MMS Port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 120
APN Type: default,mms,supl,dun,hipri
APN Protocol: IPV4/IPV6
APN Roaming Protocol: IPV4/IPV6
Leave everything else untouched
Hit Menu-->Save
Select the new APN you just created
Turn on hotspot
For some reason, after you turn on hotspot you may have to manually set the DNS on whichever device you're using to 8.8.8.8 otherwise the internet doesnt work. Not sure why that is, but after i did that, my hotspot works.
If youre using an android tablet with your hotspot and have to change the dns(you'll know because it'll say you're connect to the hotspot but you can't browse any websites), then on your tablet go to your wifi settings, long click on your hotspot youre connected to, click "show advanced options" and change Dynamic to Static (may say manual). After that, scroll down and change the setting for DNS 1 to 8.8.8.8. Should work after that.
I used to use hotspot a lot about a year ago with my note 5(7-10 gb/month average) and never got dinged for it. I would think that if you're cool about it youll be ok. I cant say that FOR SURE but I've never had issues.

Just for the record. I tried everything before rooting. I paid off my phone so they couldn't deny me my MSL. The options are simply missing after entering your MSL code. You can see everything with ##DEBUG# (can't remember the numbers ) but they made sure to remove the option when I used ##3282#. This was the Main reason why I rooted. After rooting it didn't work so I had to figure it out.

Just Clarify you attempted without root and it did not work. You then attempted with root and it still did not work. So while rooted you used them method the OP posted and it worked. ?

I attempted without root and the options were not available for the most part and what little they had, most can't be edited even when I imputed my MSL. Sprint made sure that it wasn't possible without root. There is no add apn option.
After root, I immediately tried to use hotspot and it connected but my devices couldn't get internet services. I asked for help but me2151's hotspot worked well so I figured that I was on my own. I remember adding dun on my lg g4 so I tried the codes but I couldn't get any of the codes to even register on my newly rooted phone.
I finally found the found those setting by searching and saw that "DUN" wasn't there. I then made a new APN with the existing settings but added DUN and it worked so I posted it.
By the lack of responses, I figured that almost no one had the problem.
BTW, how did you figure out adding the apn would work? I remembered a post on the LG G4 forum over a year ago and tried it for this phone.

Sprint Hotspot Fix (not passing data to connected devices)
The following is the fix when you can connect to the Hotspot but get DNS errors or no data being passed to connected devices.
Sprint prevents you from editing your APNs
You can change permissions on your telephony db with this command:
adb shell
su
chmod 666 /data/user_de/0/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
Grab the ID of your current APN using the following command:
adb shell
content query --uri content://telephony/carriers/preferapn
If the type doesn't contain "dun", copy the existing type string and add ",dun" to the end:
In the following command you would substitute
your current type string for "your_type_here",
and the _id for your_id_here:
adb shell
su
content update --uri content://telephony/carriers --where "_id=your_id_here" --bind type:s:your_type_here,dun
Example
adb shell
content query --uri content://telephony/carriers/preferapn
Output
Row: 0 _id=656, name=Sprint LTE internet, numeric=310120, mcc=310, mnc=120, apn=n.ispsn, user=, server=, password=, proxy=, port=, mmsproxy=68.28.31.7, mmsport=80, mmsc=http://mms.sprintpcs.com, authtype=-1, type=default,mms,supl,hipri, current=1, protocol=IPV4V6, roaming_protocol=IPV4V6, carrier_enabled=1, bearer=14, bearer_bitmask=0, dns1=, dns2=, ppp_dialing_number=ppp_dialing_number, defaultsetting=1, usercreatesetting=0, sim_subscription=0, inactivetimer=0, mvno_type=, mvno_match_data=, sub_id=2147483643, profile_id=0, modem_cognitive=0, max_conns=0, wait_time=0, max_conns_time=0, mtu=0, edited=0, user_visible=1, touch=0
adb shell
su
content update --uri content://telephony/carriers --where "_id=656" --bind type:s:default,mms,supl,hipri,dun
I ran into this issue on my Pixel XL and was helped by @Fenny to come up with a fix

do u need root?

Seems to be that you do, his post above said that without it he was missing the ability to edit parts that needed to be changed. I have yet to see a version of these edits for hotspot provisioning that didn't require rooting to be able to edit the appropriate files.

thank you everyone, you need root to edit the APN settings. I'm waiting a solid method to restore to stock before I root. again thanks everyone for their effort.

hey guys just an FYI, you don't have to go through all the trouble of making a new APN setting and stuff like that which is quite frankly a pain in the ass; get shortcut master (free version is fine) from play store. Open it and from the menu tap search, and let it load a sec. Search for "APN" and look near the top of the results for the "ApnUnlock" intent from hidden menu. Tap it's choose the far left Launch method button. The next screen will let you unlock APN access, you just tap the button, you can't miss it.
After its unlocked, launch the ApnSettings intent two lines down in the search results. You can now edit the sons you already have (just add ,dun). That's all it takes. If that ApnSettings doesn't do it, scroll down a page and choose the vzw one, its never failed me once yet through 4 LG phones.
My hotspot works now like it should, I never had to change any DNS settings or anything like that. Zjyst Unlock, then add ,dun to end of the APN type line.
P.S. this method requires root, Im unaware of any way around that, unfortunately

If anything. That is the EXACT program that I was looking for. A shortcut maker but with root access. I use shortcutmaker but it always says that it needs permission. This one asks for permission. Thanks.
This is a far better way too. I did the whole apn thing a few weeks back because I didn't know of this program.

Does anyone know if this counts on the 5gb data free hotspot or is it simply unlimited ? I have the unlimited plan and it includes 5 gb free hot spot.

data used for the hotspot will go against the regular unlimited data. as far as sprint is concerned, its undistinguishable

Settings > Mobile data > Mobile networks > Access Point Names. I literally figured this out while drunk at a bar from the information that was already in this thread, so if you can't figure it out on your own, you probably don't deserve free wireless tethering in the first place.

Also these options aren't available under access point names... Are you rooted?

I also managed to get it working without root. I went to Settings > Mobile data > Mobile networks > Access Point Names, and on the upper right, I clicked the 3 dots and hit Add APN. I copied the settings in the first post, and selected it as my APN afterwards. I'm not sure why I have the option to add new ones, I'm unrooted on LS997ZVC.

Tethering without Cricket finding out

Is there a way I can tether without Cricket finding out.I need a solution I'm sick of them, I can't even buy hotspot because I'm not using a cricket phone. I have the Essential PH-1.

Adding the following to the build.prop should enable tethering but won't hide it.
Net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
Using a VPN might hide it but some carriers have a way to still detect it. I forgot the technical reason.

I have cricket and used tethering quite often on my phone (ph-1) as well as when I had the Moto x pure. I'm even using the $60/month plan that doesn't allow it.

I have Cricket and tether just fine on my PH-1.

I just checked my APN and it does not have DUN. It is just whatever Cricket provisioning default was and Wifi Hotspot works just fine for me...

Depends on the make of the phone. I hat to add it on my s8 and note 8 and Moto x pure before I could tether.

That could be, but this post is in the Essential Phone forum..... I am discussing my Essential Phone and to answer the OP's question, in order to enable enable wifi hotspot on cricket there is no special APN's or provisioning required. I put in my cricket sim card in to my Essential Phone and from day 1 the wifi hotspot worked right out of the box.

I have this phone also, as well as the pixel 2 xl and a Moto g5 and all had to have the apn type altered. Some phones will work and some won't. Just offering a suggestion to the op to help him with something he's obviously having trouble with so u can save the attitude. Your system version will also determine what the apn type will be or allow to be added. If ur phone worked on day 1 good for u. His isn't so the man needs some help

Look my tethering works fine, it's just they will cut off my service again If I use it like I want I don't know how they detect it

Thanks, Sorry I'm just now replying didn't notice I had comments, Look at what I just posted should explain what is missing.

so this is what i do for t-mobile to run full speed hotspots
option a) pdanet+ for $8
option b) use TTL Master (requires root and use setting 65) and a VPN (i use this app to run my vpn)

I am on T-mobile One plan (the 55+ plan but I believe that is considered a One plan) and pdanet works for me. change the TTL doesn't work for me though, it used to work when I was on the Select Choice plan.

*YOU NEED ROOT*
im on at&t and this worked for me and bypassed throttling on hotspot:
download a file manager with root and go to system/ build.prop (open in a text editor)
scroll to the bottom and add:
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
(save)
then with usb debugging enabled go to a pc and open adb, type:
adb shell
(enter)
settings put global tether_dun_required 0
(enter)
(reboot)
if you dont have tethering option available just use any tethering root app from playstore

I have ROOT, I've tried that they can still detect that I'm using it and somehow I have nat type 3 now instead of 2. I'm getting annoyed with cricket

Mobile hotspot and USB tethering not working anymore

I have an unlocked US model (SM-N986U1). I remember when I first purchased the phone I was able to use mobile hotspot or usb tethering through my ATT plan. Today, I tried to use that function and it doesn't work anymore for some reason. Anyone has this issue resolved? I am on One Ul Version 3.0 and Android 11.

I had the exact same issue after installing One UI 3. I have a Note 20 Ultra Factory Unlocked on ATT as well!
What worked for me was the ",dun" trick.
You just need to duplicate your current APN and add ",dun" to the end of the "APN type" field.
Heres how:
Settings > Connections > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names.
Tap your current APN and take a scrolling screenshot of everything.
Open that screenshot in a floating window or splitscreen mode (for reference).
Back out of the screen you had just screenshotted.
Tap "Add".
Duplicate all the values from your previous APN into this new one (using that screenshot)
Make sure you did not make a typo!!
Now before you save,
under "APN type" add ",dun" to the end of it.
Now tap the 3 dots at the top right, tap "Save".
Select the new APN you had just created and your hotspot should work now!
If it doesnt, try toggling airplane mode on then off. This worked for me. I shared it on Samsung Members and others had reported back with success as well!
Hope this helps
P.S.
I got an OTA update today and now i have wifi calling (finally!).
(I had to manually check for it to appear)
