Epic Touch 4G Root

I previously rooted my EVO and ran Cyanogenmod 7.x successfully.
I bought the ET4G and I'm looking to root it specifically to enable the WiFi hotspot.
I've searched and searched but cannot find out whether or not the hotspot feature is enabled by rooting.
I have no complaints about the stock ROM (compared to Sense, it's great), so if I can just run a root and enable the hotspot, I'd be OK (for now).
Can someone point me in the direction of which root method to use (the latest version I suppose) and if I need a new ROM to use the hotspot or not.
THANKS!!!

I really just want to tether free, but guess need root?

I simply want to be able to use my native hotspot to tether to a tablet, for free. I looked and didnt find any method to get this to work without rooting. But did I miss something? Do programs like FoxFi and stuff work anymore? or is my only option to root?
I looked at threads about rooting, but they all seem to be outdated, or started a year or so ago.
I have a Sprint Galaxy S5 running 5.0,can somebody link me to an UPDATED how to root thread for my model?
thanks in advance
(i am not a newb, i have a LG phone and samsung tab S both rooted, CM12 on the tablet, and Xposed and hotspot unlocked on the phone. This S5 is my friends that im trying to either get free tether mainly, or root if needed, to get the tether)

This method still works

My S5 doesn't have native option to enable USB Tether. NEED HELP!

My s5 doesn't have a native option for USB tether. Just hotspot and Bluetooth tether. Is there a way to enable it? or is there a Rom that has such option? I'm running marshmallow and I'm also rooted. Thanks.

Which version are you running stock rooted? I'm rooted on PE2 and just did the apn edit to get hotspot working. Doing that got all tethering options working for me. USB tethering is grayed out in settings unless its already connected. It's in the tethering settings under connections.

You might be sure that you plug the usb cable into both the phone and the computer. Once the cable is connected, then the option to turn on USB tethering is enabled. Otherwise if disconnected, the USB Tethering feature is disabled. It worked that way on CM-12 and now on CM-14.1 for my Galaxy S5 G500P device. (Boost Mobile on the Sprint network.)

Is there a Magisk module to allow USB/HotSpot tethering on the Pixel 3?

Been running a droid turbo on modified but mostly stock rom which allowed USB tethering and wifi hotspot which did not alert my cell provider. With the pixel 3, is there a Magisk module to allow all-together tethering or do I need to modify the props config still?
Phone is a Pixel 3, unlocked bootloader and rooted with Magisk 17.3 using Verizon.

Question Pixel 7 Pro / Non Root VoLTE on Custom Roms

Just wanted to know if there is any way we can use a custom rom which will allow VoLTE calls in non supported countries.
I really wanted to use root and use the respective magisk modules available but i use an MDM application which do not allow me to pass through the registration even with safetynet enabled.
Any suggestions?

custom roms require an unlocked bootloader. you will not be able to pass safetynet with an unlocked bootloader unless you are using magisk

Have you tried any custom rom?
