[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] LowaEastSide:
Im hoping someone can be kind enough to assist me, i currently updated my Note 2 to the latest MK7 update, so after the OTA finished i went through the process of rooting the device and all went well with CF root (Much THANKS to CF), however now that i updated there aren't any Custom Roms out yet for Native Tethering, so I went to Plan B which was the Trev Wifi Tether Hack (thanks to Trev as well) that always worked well on my Note 2 T889, however its NOT working for me anymore on the MK7 up date, can some please let me know if its still working for them and what i need to do to get it working again, or if theres another alternative i can possibly do to get my tethering back, thanks in advance to everyone, truly need help with this dilemma..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] phonefight:
I just finished the steps on my rooted T-Mobile Note 3. So far it is working great. I have already gotten blocked earlier in the week for going over my 2.5gb of included tethering. After making the modifications in the post I am able to tether again. Just downloaded a 3GB file just to be sure. The main thing to keep in mind is to use a Tethering Widget, and not the on/off switch in the settings. I will update if I get blocked again.

Let me know if you need any help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jfarhat:
Thanks for letting me know that it works, I have found another way to tether....I think it does pretty much the same thing.

Have a great evening!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ProfeKarma:
I'm on 4.3 and I got it to work.

Follow all instructions.

Turn on wifi tethering.

Then run APN back up and restore while tethering is on.

Delete APN and restore the modded one.

You should get your mobile data back and it should work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] KingP1n:
So the instructions in pg. 1 still work. ..that's great to hear, I'll have to try it and report it, I'm also on 4.3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] hristopelov:
I god a Q... is the 2.5GB tethering automaticly included? im on the $70 unlimithed postpaid plan since day 1 was untroduced... i had to sign 2 year agreement back then 09/05/2012, UN-Carrier plans wasnt even introduced yet... and when i try to use the Stock Tether app it just gives me the upsell window, so do i need to go to the BM store and ask em to enable it for me?

2nd Q... is the 2.5GB free tether at any time of the month cycle, or is just the first 2.5GB of the cycle you are allowed to tether?

thanx for the intell, anyone that can answer that!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] asainz320:
I just got an xbox for christmas, since the internet that I use in my house its from my device, I started tethering the xbox to go to Xbox Live. Sure enough I used up all my 2.5gb of data in like two days. First I got the message from T-mobile saying that I had used 2GB, and then I got the message saying I had used the whole 2.5 GB and that tethering was going to be blocked, and it was. I was not able to connect to Xbox Live anymore. After following these steps I now have unlimited tethering and are now able to connect back to XBox Live!!! Thank you very much for this guide!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Carlosomar:
Not working

I have tried all the steps multiple times and every time I try to allow the tethering it tells me that my plan does not have tethering services that if I want to upgrade. Any help would be appreciated.

Which software are you running? Details can be important.

You can look at this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48674086&postcount=182

It is definitely a headache to setup, but I can 100% verify that it works and does not trigger the up sell page nor does it count data usage against your hotspot quota.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Coug76:
His post on his linked thread mentioned 4.1.2 so it would be a trial and error thing I expect.

Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mersfire:
Coug76 was right, I am still using 4.1.2. I've been meaning to upgrade to 4.3, but did not have the time to find the stock (rooted) ROM (I like stock) as teshxx seems to have stopped updating his thread.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zombtastic:
Keeps you from upsell page as well? Or just working as in it lets you tether?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Techronico:
I'd like to know this as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] fireishott:
I have not received any up sell page...sorry for the delayed response
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zombtastic:
Are you tethering to a pc?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] fireishott:
Yes well technically a macbook
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zombtastic:
Can you stream netflix? Or is it avoiding the upsell page by hiding the tether with a user agent switch?

Edit: sorry for the interrogation lol. Just trying to see exactly what's going on, because I have a tether app that hides tether. And it's stable enough for the most part, but some of the things I would require the tether for don't work while being "hidden". An app that can avoid upsell page without user agent switch would be ideal.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] fireishott:
I will try. ..I have not attempted that yet. I will try it and report back
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Techronico:
Technically since you are using a MacBook, you could be using chrome, and it has been determined that t-mobile is using the UA during to gauge the limit for tether. With that said, it has also been said that they are treating all safari UA strings as mobile, thus not counting the safari traffic as desktop tethering traffic. Could you test with chrome or Firefox to see if it is catching that as your throttle usage? Sorry for the grill along with the interrogation that you are receiving...:D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] starkruzr:
I'm on 4.3 and it still does the provisioning check followed by denying me access when I use the tethering widget after following all these steps. Everything else works normally.

I have no clue why x da premium app will not allow me to attach multiple pics to one post
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zombtastic:
Looking sweet. I'm thinking about it so far, lol. Are you running any 4.3/4.4 ROMs (or have you tested it with one?). Also did netflix turn out okay (assuming you have it. I didn't take that into account when I asked. Sorry. If you don't it's good.)? These are probably my last questions haha.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] fireishott:
I have not tested on a 4.4 rom (too attached to touchwiz, call me a homer) the Netflix account that I used apparently my buddy did not pay the bill...but for what it's worth I tethered to my apple TV and ran a few plug in through XBMC like hulu and vemo...I know not the same but as close as I could come unless someone wants to pm me a Netflix account ;) just a joke..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zombtastic:
Lol well its worth a shot. I'm sold. It might at the very least be more stable than the app I occasionally use currently. Thanks for testing things out. :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] fireishott:
No problem. ..let me know if u need any help
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zombtastic:
Okay, so here's my update:

The app seems to work fine on both 4.3 and 4.4. Right after I had purchased it I was able to stream without any UA switchers for quite some time. It seemed like immediately after I had tried to stream Netflix I was being given the upsell page though. I might have just gone through my "free allotment" of tethering, but I had thought that I'd already done that (so I'm not sure if it was Netflix that gave me away, or if I was mistaken about being out of my "free allotment").

Regardless, taking the safari user agent advice to heart, I've circumvented it fine. In regards to Netflix, this isn't technically a mobile user agent so you just have to manually install the windows version of silverlight (trying to change user agent first will try to install the mac version for you) and it'll stream fine. So far Netflix and anything else I have been in need to tether for is working fine. If I come across any apps/programs that don't work I'll let you guys know

The app itself is very stable. I was using PDAnet and FoxFi before, both which seemed to crash or cut out every so often. This has not. They also lacked a majority of the settings this includes. Options such as: different tethering methods, different drivers, DMZ and DHCP (which seem to work well), and black-listing and white-listing for devices.

TLDR; Sorry for the long post, haha. But it's 2 buck well spent indeed (IMO). For anyone coming to this thread and OP method doesn't work for you, this might be another good suggestion/method. In the very least, native tethering (with fixed APN/custom ROM) and a Safari User Agent (if you don't need any extra settings).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] fireishott:
Glad it worked for you

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Techronico:
Hey, sorry I've been gone for pretty much a day and a half. I thanked all your posts... I actually purchased the app before you responded based on your recommendation. It's been working great! Changed my chrome ua to "Galaxy Note II" just in case. If it doesn't work, I'll be using safari against my Apple bigotry.

Since updating to 4.3 ... the "Please wait while we verify your account' pop up is playing havoc with a BT auto tether app I use ...

Any way of preventing that pop up or the one after reboot about "first time use ...." on a rooted Note 2?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] fireishott:
You can try to pull the tetherprovisioning.Apk from the jedi rom and place it in system\app and set permissions

Of course that would only work on a touch wiz rom

@ David and Emarldknight

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] j_smith305:
I haven't had a chance to try most of them but so far I like paranoid android 2.52. I was able to get the GS3 stock icons & sounds on it and touchwiz also but I'm using the trebuchet launcher since touchwiz doesn't auto-rotate. I haven't had any problems with it & it runs pretty smooth. What's your favorite rom?

media hub

I was actually thinking of giving that one a try soon. Do you know if the media hub works on it? I was able to get it working on my paranoid android rom and I was even able to download my free copy of the avengers but I can't watch it since it's locked for some reason so the media hub is pretty useless so far

Have been rolling PA 2.54 for ages, love it. Everything working fine, havent noticed anything thats broken or missing. Big thanks to gokussjx

I gave 2.99 a go but its still quite new so will wait a while before updating permanently and just 'check in' once in a while, so to speak, to see if its been made as stable as 2.54... Am very much lookin forward to being able to use 2.99 as my daily.

Am curious as to the difference between the roms for the GT-I9300 and SGH-T999... Does the T999 have anything the I9300 doesnt?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] neurosis737:
Updated my phone to the latest ROM over OTA. Since then, my gps takes forever to get a lock and even then, loses GPS connection frequently. Anyways, I'd like to downgrade my phone to that version. In the meantime I'll root this phone and try out the new jelly bean ROM.

So the question is, does anyone know where I can get a download of that specific ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BraddahBoi808:
Are you talking about the odin package for G7?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] neurosis737:
Preferably cloclwork but odin will do. So far, I can only find the radio packages only. I'd like the entire ROM since this is affecting GPS.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BraddahBoi808:
there are no full packages of stock roms for clockwork. The closest you can get would CleanRom by scrosler which runs amazingly smooth. If not, then you would have to go to invisiblek's goo.im account. he has the full odin flashable packages
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] epagib:
1 - if you are rooted, you should not take any ota updates. Potentially this can brick your phone.

2 - for different modem builds, just download whichever version youd like (rootzwiki) and flash.

3 - for return to stock roms (unrooted), well, just follow one of the how-to sticky threads in the forum. Once youre back to stock then can receive ota without problems
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
download gps fix from playstore.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] x714x:
Taking a OTA when rooted will not brick the phone at all, you will just lose your root and will have to redo it. If you wanna go back to pure stock you can follow droidsytles post in section 6 and odin back to G1 then ota upto G7. Its really simple the way droidstyle explains it and only takes about 8 mins give or take.
