FoxFi Free Tethering App

I tried to download this but I got a message saying my carrier (at&t) doesn't support this app.
Is anyone able to use it on the AT&T One X or know of a similar app?
Or do I just have to download one of the available mods in the dev section?

Install MarketAccess. This app allows you to spoof other carrier markets. Spoofing T-Mobile 310260 should pretty much give you full market access.

That's weird. I just pulled it up on the Play Store and I have no problem. Has it compatible with all my devices (all AT&T).

You guys see where Verizon can no longer block tethering apps in the market?

Yeah att needs that going on. I ended up flashing a hotspot hack so I'm good.

No go for mine
I know this is an old thread but I'll try anything at this point. I've tried a bunch of stuff so far. I've downloaded a .apk that was supposed to remove ATT's block on the tethering which didn't work. I then tried to install CM10 which goes through all the install motions in TWRP and reboots. After reboot it sits on the CM logo forever never booting into CM10 so I had to restore it to stock. I've tried apps in the market and of course the Att lock blocks them as well. So I figured I'd try this one and it doesn't work on my HOX either.
All I can say is that ATT and/OR HTC have got this tethering thing all locked down this time. I had no problems installing CM or getting the hotspot unlocked on all my previous devices... Kinda regretting getting this HOX now. hotspot worked great on my Inspire and my HD2
I tried to install the FoxFi from the market but nothing showed up in the search results so I downloaded that market spoof which allowed FoxFI to showup..... Installed FoxFi and it activates the hotspot but when I try to connect with my Laptop it says it cant connect.
We are in a unique situation here and not really sure what to do to get my phone to act as a hotspot. Very Frustrating!
The Aluminum skin on our coach blocks most if not all campground wifi signals from coming in, yet my phone still has a good signal so I figured I could just use my phone as the device to get online while inside the coach. Can't sit outside at night, the skeeters will carry you off. Rains most of the day so it makes it very difficult to get online.
We've been with ATT for so long that the geico caveman is going to join ATT so we do not want to change our plan in anyway.. (We're grandfathered into a really old plan from like 7 years ago that is $40 a month...This new plan they want to sell us is $200 a month with the hotspot built in..... wowzers!
Any suggestions?

root your device, download sql editor lite and open, vendorsettings->settings.db and find entitlement check in that long list.. once you find it, change its value from 1 to 0.. now you can use tether..

[Q] re: trying to root a Kyocera Hydro

My service is with Boost Mobile. I have been trying to root the Kyocera Hydro phone I have so I can turn on the wifi hotspot and tethering. I was told by a factory rep and Amazon that this phone can do that job. Boost Mobile says it can't. Boost Mobile says the only 2 phones that will do wifi hotspot and tethering on thair service is the Samsung Galaxy s2 and the HTC Veo. I can't afford ether one new. I was also told by a person online that has been pointing me to online articles about rooting phones. Starting with the fundamentals of rooting. That this phone can do the wifi hotspot and tethering if rooted. I have gotten real deep into my phone. though I am not shure it is rooted. I see a lot of files that look a lot like windows operation/system files. But I know enough not to do anything with them beyond looking. If i can't get this phone to do wifi hotspot and tethering. Then can someone please tell me what phone would be good for what I need, for what I can afford or trade for. I got the Kyocera Hydro new from Amazon for $150.00 Other then the wifi hotspot and tethering this phone has suited my needs well. Sometimes (but not often enough to buy a separate cell phone type usb device) I take my laptop out on Amateur Radio demo's were there isn't a open wifi to tie into. That's why I need the wifi hotspot and tethering. I always have some kind of a/c power to plug into at the site.

Yes you can root it

I can give you the root method I rooted my hydro its a PAIN tho. And you cant change roms at all. But you may be able to teather and use it as a hotspot. But your internet will be crap it will be SOOOO SLOW but you can try. Let me know if you want the method youd have to inbox me for it im new so I cant post link.

I would also like to know how to tether... I've already rooted my kyocera hydro tho and only thing i'm having trouble with is finding a working app that will allow me to tether to my laptop. Right now i'm using my gfs galaxy s2 (t-mobile) and it works great for playing hearthstone. The only app i've found that works with the hydro is SVTP WIFI USB Tethering Lite. Bad thing is it only works for 2 days and then it wont work anymore. So i rooted my phone thinking that would work but it still doesn't and I would buy the Pro version but the app store wont allow me to since it says my provider (boost) doesn't allow it. If you could point me in the right direction as to how to tether I would really appreciate it.

i got my friends kyocera hydro rooted.
trying to find a working method to make it a 3g mobile hotspot over wifi connection
anyone know an app that actually works or a method to get it done?
does any proxies need to be disabled in any hidden menus?

The app is called "wifi tether for root user". Its on the play store but I can never find with store app. Do a google search it will show in the google play apps link. You will need to change device profile to "generic ics/jb wlan0". Best tethering app you can get.

Can you tell my how you rooted your hydro?

[Q] Thinking about Picking up an M8

I have really only used moto phones in the past so bear with me.
1) Will I be able to ROM the M8?
2) What is the difficulty in ROMing the phone compared to a Moto w/ safestrap?
3) Is there an app similar to moto hotspot or can HTC phones only tether? Can it be unlocked?
4) How will the 3 above questions compare / contrast to an S5?
Thanks!
-Justin

You can't ROM the M8 yet as the boot loader isn't unlocked.
Don't really understand #3 but there is a Verizon hotspot app. And by unlocked do you mean to use on other carriers?
Can't really answer #4 because the S5 isn't out yet

You can Rom the Moto Phones with locked bootloaders, just with ROMs that are derived from the factory one, no CM etc. So the M8 will be similar in this regard? On another forum someone was telling me the selling point over the S5 was that the bootloader will be unlocked. So I guess this probably requires a GPE phone then, and isn't much of a selling point for me since I cant use a GPE phone on verizon...
By unlocked I mean free hotspot, the moto phones come with a motorolla hotspot which is quite easy to hack / unlock for use (the hotspot does not work otherwise without paying for it).
Some people do have their hands on the S5, but I guess I can assume it would be locked down similar to the S4. Are Samsung phones locked down any differently than the HTC Phones or are all companies locking the bootloader on verizon phones now?
Thanks,
Justin.

1) Eventually
2) Since we can't ROM it yet, we don't know
3) There's a thread about getting the built in tethering to work, look
4) How the hell would we know? The S5 isn't even out yet.

Yes, there's a hotspot app. The hotspot app isn't anything unique to any given manufacturer. It's a part of the Android OS.
The question is, can you use it or not without paying. If you don't have unlimited data it shouldn't cost you anything. If you have unlimited data you have to pay as of right now. There isn't any hack to disable the Verizon check at this time. Won't be until we get access to the system partition.

Interesting, again coming from motorolla:
Teathering = single device can connect.
Wifi hotspot = multiple devices can connect.
But that's the way it has been in the past with my moto phones so please forgive me since I guess this has changed.

Is the hotspot app called Mobile hotspot?
On my motorolla with root I can use dSQLiteManager and flip a bit in the com.motorolla.android.providers.settings DB and enable the free hotspot. If I lose this ability with HTC M8 I guess I will have to look into another motorolla phone. Or at least I will have to hold off for now.

It's the same app as Moto has. It's an Android thing. And, yes, it's called Mobile Hotspot. All phones I've had up until now were Motos. It's the same thing.
However, like I said before, there is no hack for it yet. One of the first things I did when we got root was check for the entitlement check thing using sqlite and that entry isn't there anymore. From what I can find, it sounds like the newer Moto phones don't have it either. I did come across a hack for the M7 which involves editing an xml file but haven't tried it. My guess is you'd have to reboot to get it to take effect and given the way root works on this phone, the change wouldn't stick after you rebooted the phone.
USB tethering works fine though. However, if the hotspot is a must for you, you better wait or else plan on paying for it, at least for a while.

I mostly use it with my Android Nook HD+, so I don't think USB tether would work, but that's not worth $30 a month to simply use a larger screen. I would assume if there is no hack for the M7 their probably will not be for the M8 then. Thanks for everyones help.

There is one for the M7.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2699200

Well, that might or might not help. If the Nook can't see an adhoc network, it's no good in this case. I have a Xoom that wouldn't see one when it was stock. A lot of devices require infrastructure mode which the hotspot is. The Nook may or may not support adhoc. But like I said, some devices require it (infrastructure). I have a laptop that doesn't work with adhoc mode. So, it's not just related to mobile devices.

[Q] FoxFi or WiFi Tether

Does anyone know if FoxFi tethering will work on the S6? I know methods were figured out for the S5 but will this carry over to the S6?

Probably wont know till we actually get the phone but I have heard FoxFi works for non rooted phones

bump +1
I believe wifi tether is Root only

This is probably the most important questions for me also. I still have unlimited data and use wifi tethering every day.

If we can get Foxfi, then I might actually get this phone. WiFi tethering with my unlimited plan is really my only "must have" for root.

I can confirm FoxFi works on a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6. It worked the first time I tried it, exactly the same steps as on an HTC Droid DNA (create certificate - one time procedure, enable security protection e.g. screen lock; I used the S6's fingerprint reader - one time procedure, turn on Hot Spot in settings menu - repeat procedure, and voila).
Cheers.

I can confirm that FoxFi works also.
1. Open FoxFi
2. Click Activate WiFi Hotspot check box
3. Tells you to go to settings within 30 seconds (also has a button).
4. In Settings window turn on Mobile Hotspot
5. Profit.
EDIT: I am on a grandfathered unlimited data plan through Verizon.

Do you have an unlimited data plan?

Yes I am on an unlimited data plan, sorry forgot to mention that. I'll edit my original message.

I'm on a UDP and can also confirm Foxfi works as it always does.

Does FoxFi work alright on a non-rooted S6 with the latest firmware?
I see that all these posts are from April or earlier....can somebody please confirm to me that this still works? That you can wirelessly tether to your heart's content on the S6 NON-rooted via Foxfi? I want to get the S6 but since the latest firmware can't be rooted I would be screwed UNLESS this still works....then I can look past not being rooted....at least for now.
I tether everyday for work and I am on unlimited data and my S3 is getting a tad.....old.

Do you have the free version or paid version of it? When you first installed it on your s6 did it ask you for a credentials password? I went to install it on my S3 to test it and it asked me for that and I have no clue what that was and couldn't get past that.....

Paid version and yes you have to do credentials. But with s6 if you have finger print unlock set up your all good to go.

I don't know what the credentials are, that's the problem. Do I need to do something before I install and run foxfi?

No just hit ok then turn on foxfi then it will take you to hot spot on phone. Just turn on and your done. Instructions are on foxfi play store

So you are on the "AOF1" firmware and it works fine everyday, correct? I am just paranoid that I will get the S6 and then it will not work for me. I have to have working tethering for my work and I'm not about to pay Verizon more $.

I currently have the the stock version (5.02) on my Verizon Galaxy S6 and I'm affraid to do the software update. I'm currently using Foxfi with no problems, however I'd like to do the software update. But.... I'm hearing Foxfi may not work with the software update for those who have unlimited data with Verizon.
So I have two questions:
1) What android version are you currently running?
2) And, do you have unlimited data?

SM-G973U hotspot/tethering

I've found this question in my search but not found legitimate working answer yet. Previously the tethering provision through xposed worked on my S7 Active, but after rooting and flashing the S7 the lag was pretty bad and I had never resolved that issue. I hope I have posted this to the correct area, if not, I am sorry, I'm not the best when it comes to using forums and threads to ask questions. For now, the main thing I want is to enable tethering hotspot on this awesome thing. I've tried Foxfi registered from my S2 days and PDAnet, but had no success.
Thanks.

I just got my unlocked s10+ today that I'm using on sprint so I went back through my old posts to find this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-s7-edge/how-to/hotspot-bypass-nougat-ok-t3563446
I still had adb and fastboot still on the pc so I tried and got an adb server error.
I downloaded and installed the latest Kies http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/SW/201507/20150710153808522/Kies3Setup.exe
Tried it again and got the adb shell and commands entered. Everything looks like it was successful. I connected another phone to the hotspot.
Hope that helps.

Does this hack work for the s10+? I'm thinking about picking it up from Amazon for Prime day. its Factory Unlocked phone. My S9+ apparently can't hacked to allow tethering. I'm have an unlimited data plan as I've been with verizon for over 10 years.
Thanks in Advance!

How do you get 5ghz tethering, this article says that you can change it but my phone won't allow me to.
