I've just applied the update for 2.3.6, When tethering either wifi or USB, the 3g icon disappears and i get no connectivity.
What's interesting is that if i use an alternative APN (VPN access point for Telus) I am able to tether without a problem.
I'm suspecting that this is a pre-emptive strike for AT&T who want to charge for tethering.... any ideas anyone?
I am on ATT and lost tethering...
I just spoke with steve.garon who is using CM7 nightlies. He updated his modem to the one included in this update and is able to tether without a problem, also the search bug appears to be dead with this modem.
So for those who are tethering, might be an idea to skip this update and just apply the modem.
As for myself, since i CAN tether through VPN, I might wait it out. It only took them 3 months to fix the search bug, what's another 3 months?
damnit...I'm completely stock and am having the same issue with tethering.

Me too.
Fix for tethering issue in 2.3.6
1) Create new access point, for example “Tethering”
2) Copy all the settings from your primary APN you use for internet access
3) Set APN type to “default,dun”
When you want to tether, select your new APN and then enable hotspot function.
I actually thought I'd modify the original Access Point by adding 'dun' to the list as mentioned by north49. So now I have "default,dun,supl,mms" and it works flawlessly with the original Access Point and tethering.
Edit: I stand corrected. I had to create a complete separate Access Point for it to work.
That's good news. At least there's now a workaround.

Worked directly in Sweden with telia.. all functions are there
Copy libsec-ril.so found in system/vendor/lib from 2.3.4 to the 2.3.6 ROM and tethering may work again...
I do not use thethering much so did not try it yet but I believe this may fix the tether issue...
Try using Pete's patch. I think its suppose to be universal

Tried adding dun. No go
Tried creating new APN with Dun - No Go
Monitored using *#*#info#*#* - and noticed when activating hotspot - data goes to att_tether and ping results in Data Not Subscribed.
F*** Att
So.. does anyone have a stock 2.3.4 for Canadian Nexus S that doesn't require Clockwork recovery? I can't seem to downgrade using any of the signed versions I've found. Signature failures etc etc.
Thanks

Can somebody explain me the technical background, why this fix the bug?
What does ',dun' means?
DUN == Dial Up Networking.
It's a force setting for the phone to use this access point for tethering.
I've applied 2.3.6 and the tethering changes but I have a question... Does Nexus S tethering share the Wi-Fi connection or only the 3G connection?
When I enable 'Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot' it turns off the wifi on my Nexus S and jumps over to 3G.
I don't remember it doing that before... although I only tested it briefly to see if it worked so I didn't pay attention to what network it was actually using. I also don't remember having to select the specific APN for tethering either from my settings (On my Rogers Phone I have 1 APN for internet use and 1 APN for tethering)
Thanks!
Hey guys,
I'm trying to get my n5 to tether and it just gives me an error as soon as I start the WiFi hotspot (stock). Any idea what could be causing this or now I could fix it?

I am rooted, so if there's some trick to try please do share. I believe I'm paying for the hotspot feature, although going through the change plan process doesn't seem to show that option anywhere (I just tried to find it to see whether or not it was already enabled but I can't find it anywhere on the Sprint site...).

I had tethering working on Sprint via this mod:
add a new entry to the "global" table called "tether_dun_required" with a value of 0 in the /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db file.
Just updated to 4.4.2; re-rooted (via WugFresh toolkit) tried tethering and its not working anymore. Not sure if its related to the 4.4.2 or not.
Anyone have a fix?

Thanks, appreciate the help. My issue is different however - the phone seems to start the tethering and I can connect to it through my tablet - but no data seems to flow... can't even run a speedtest on the tablet or load any webpage...
On the T-Mo side, I was afraid that we would lose the tethering with the latest 4.2.2 OTA - and initially, it looked that way. Speedtest would work on download side but "communications issues" on the upload side & unable to finish and show results .... Arrrrrgghhhh.
With two Nexus 5 on hand, it was easy to compare pre- and post- edits, hotspot & speed data, etc. along with comparing the entries in the above mentioned settings.db fields. First, save a coopy of the *.db just in case it is needed - then, added the tether_dun_required and value to 0 as a new entry/line, saved & exit. Reboot device for good measures, and sure enough, it connected by got re-directed to T-Mo's home page ... APN was set to IPv6
Change it to IPv4 and exit, restarted WiFi hotspot and it is good - fast speed and websites loading quickly, etc.
This may, or may not, help out those on Sprint's network - but, worth looking into ...

Hmm, wonder what happened with my config then. I'm in the same boat - stock rooted only. maybe i will try removing the new line in settings.db are re-adding... Right now I can launch hotspot and connect to it from tablet/laptop but no data flows thru the pipe....
I lost my tether after the 4.4.2 update as well. I have a Sprint Nexus 5. My laptop and tablet were able to connect to the hotspot, but no data was coming across.
I looked at the settings.db file and could still see the "tether_dun_required" entry was definitely there. So I decided to replace the settings.db file with a copy I had from before the 4.4.2 update. Rebooted the phone, and magically, tether started working again.
I was curious though to see if I put the post-4.4.2 update settings.db file back, then would I lose my tether? So, once again, I replaced the settings.db file with the post-4.4.2 version, rebooted the phone, and magically, tether still was working! WTF!
The only thing interesting that I noticed during all of this is that every time I replaced the settings.db file on the phone, the corresponding settings.db-journal file would disappear. I don't know much about SQLite, but I wonder if the journal file had some transaction state with the "tether_dun_required" hack removed or not committed.
Anyway, hope this helps.
As the title states, is there a method that is working on AT&T H810 phones yet to enable wifi hotspot, either with or without root, on an unlimited data plan? I have seen a few methods for other carriers and for NON unlimited data plans, but unlimited seems to be SOL.
I don't even need the data shared itself, I just need to be able to create a wifi hotspot that my chromecast can connect directly to so that I can mirror my phone screen in my truck. I would not actually be sharing any data usage to the chromecast in my application.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
In theory you would need another device, wouldn't you? I have the unlimited data plan with AT&T (grandfathered) but the device acting as a hotspot doesn't act as a client on it's own network.
I have a chromecast as well so if you'd like to share your connection vision I wouldn't mind trying it out for you.

I am going to try this soon but will try to use VPN.HT ( I use the service for popcorntime and a few other apps/ devices) app to help secure any data going in or out so hopefully in some way that will help - I still need to read up on if using a VPN on tethering will reduce risks of any problems with carriers .

The phone can act as a hotspot and still cast to the Chromecast. You need to setup the phone as a hotspot, then connect another phone/tablet/computer to configure the Chromecast for the phones hotspot WiFi. Once it is setup, you can just fire up the hotspot on your phone, let Chromecast connect, and then cast away.

Yeah, has anyone found a way around this? I just rooted and FoxFi still doesn't work.
After rooting I did the sqlite modification, first using selinux to switch to permissive, then use sqlite to edit the 'settings storage - settings.db - system' database, search for 'entitle' set value to 0.

This worked for me too, thank you for the SELinux update - hadn't even thought of that.
I changed the value to 0 and yeah, WI-FI hotspot does activate after reboot, but when i connect to the internet with another device through the G4, I get "Internet unavailable with G4" Anyone else has the same problem?
I have a GS4 and have used the hot spot for a couple of years now. (unlimited data plan). I just bought this AT&T LG G4 and I have been setting it up through my GS4. But I have read this thread and I am not sure if I have found away to unlock the hot spot function with out paying AT&T more money. I really would like what I have with the GS4. My free Hot Spot. Once I have a rock solid way to get this hot spot function to work then I will activate the LG G4, until then... Can anyone point me in a direction I should be looking? All my phones have custom roms on them but as I have been reading so far I am also striking out with custom roms on the LG G4. Thanks for any help.
Worked like a charm! Thank you ajent!!

Easy solution to LG G4 AT&T hotspot issue
1..Download "Settings Database Editor" apk from play store.
2..Open the application and select system
3..scroll down to "tether entitlement check State and change the number to -1
Having done these, the mobile hotspot of your LG G4 AT&T will work like a miracle.
Just bought a H950 and plan on rooting on 5.1.1 ... Only issue is, I must have WiFi hotspot for me to be able to keep this phone. I'm currently on cricket, and they will not unlock the carrier block on wifi hotspots. Has anyone had any luck getting this to work? Thanks.

Locked bootloader and no method to recover from a brick depending on what firmware you are running.
You could try to add DUN to your APN settings and see if native hotspots working. Use an app like shortcut master to find the hidden menu where you can change this.
Check if this method works on the Flex, I know it was present on the G2's (ATT) LP build, and G3 too I think.

Use "BK disabler" and search system for "tether", disable all 3. I have attached a screen shot of them.
Set up your tether options, and make sure to Enable Wi-Fi sharing.
Now try to connect to any Wi-Fi network using a wrong password. While it's trying to connect quickly enable mobile hotspot, then turn off Wi-Fi.
I did it multiple times last night, it worked every time.
if you're looking for just an app then netshare no root tethering works, but since you have to use a proxy, it only allows internet to programs where you can configure proxy settings.
