Possibly, but you can use ND8 ROMs with your Boost S3... Most custom ND8 ROMs have that feature built in (like the one in my signature [emoji6] )

My ROM: WICKED X
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] madbat99:
No you have to flash cnexus nd8 stock ROM. It works great on virgin and boost. Basically the same as NDC.

Hey guys, I tried looking through this thread for my problem, and I saw a couple of people with it in the beginning but saw no resolution. Wondering if anyone might be able to help?

I'm running stock 4.4.2 on my Sprint S3 (L710). I've rooted it and installed CWM recovery. I grabbed the ND8 Odexed file and flashed it through recovery and had no issues. The hotspot starts now, and I can connect with my Windows PC, but I get no data. Are there more files I needed to flash to have this working? I see other files called MD4, MC3 etc below, but I'm not sure what they are and if I need them.

Help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Getting hotspot on SPH-710T (NF4 modem; tri-band version)

So, I would like to hack Hotspot on my new crappy version SPH-710T (tri-band) with baseband version L710TVPU0ANF4. I would really appreciate the help with this. This is what I have done so far:

-Copy Framework files in PC

-Deodex Services.odex by using Ultimate Deodexer v.1.0

-opening the newly generated classes.dex with JD-Gui. All the code is here.

-This is where i don't know how to proceed. Probably the code is under connectivity>tethering, but I can't quite find the code triggering the Sprint tethering subscription. (i'm not that good with coding lol) or maybe I'm completely looking in wrong place or proceeding completely off-track, lol.

Please, let me know what is needed to get hotspot working. if you need anything from my files (classes.odex code or whatever it is that is needed) or any other info from my version of samsung. Thanks a bunch!

How do I install this? just put the zip in my root directory and flash it through CWM recovery?

Also if you have a second to explain, what exactly is this and what should it do?

Yes. It is the stock kernel with SELinux set to permissive. It disables some of the security so you can make mods work more easily.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] arcolino1:
ok this looks like I am in the right spot, for the native hotspot mod for the sprint gal s3 SPH-L710. question, I am installing the rom that puts the phone back to stock so that I can do the upgrade to 4.4.2 this file L710VPUCND8_L710SPRCND8_L710VPUCND8_HOME.tar.md5

then installing the philz cwm philz_touch_6.48.4-d2lte.zip which also roots

then I can install the native hotspot mod this file MD4HotspotMod-Odexed.zip ?

I used that same file MD4HotspotMod-Odexed.zip (1.81mb) in 2013 so nothing has changed on the mod?

it has been working great by the way, many thanks to the developers!

How do I know if its odexed or not? I do not see anything in the phone description that says that?

current phone info.

PHONE INFO: under about device, model SPH-L710, android ver 4.3, baseband ver L710VPUCMK3, kernel ver 3.0.31-G1AC4B4-DIRTY CNEXUS@NODE2-C6100.CODEFI.RE #1 SUN NOV 24, 12.30.47 PST 2013, build JSS15J.L710VPUCMK3, se for android status PERMISSIVE, hardware ver L710.14

No, use the one for ND8 (Odexed)

My ROMs: Wicked X & Wicked S5 Xperience
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] arcolino1:
I searched around did not find a comparison between the md4 hotspot mod and the nd8 hotspot mod and why one over the other?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dcharleyultra:
You're installing an ND8 ROM, not an MD4 ROM. Like instructed above, use the ND8 mod.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] arcolino1:
got it after I sent it I started reading around and it started to make sense Its a different rom nd8 for the 4.4.2 upgrade.

question

the install instructions for the nd8 rom says

"put phone into download mode (power off, then power button + Volume Down, then volume up when prompted"

has that changed I checked download mode this morn on spring s3 I used

down vol button+home button+power button

I got the screen that says in small red letters at the top odin,

btw the nandroid backup went smoothly to the external storage card. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
It's probably referring to using Odin to update the bootloader before flashing the ROM.

My ROMs: Wicked X & Wicked S5 Xperience
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] arcolino1:
the instructions pointing the install to odin which is what I used for the L710VPUCND8_L710SPRCND8_L710VPUCND8_HOME.tar.md5 file, the install whiped the data from the phone drive treated it as a fresh install, I was able to recover with my backup nanddroid copy flipped everything back to the way it was. should the install of the above file be done by odin or cwm?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
If you're installing a ROM it's always in recovery.

My ROMs: Wicked X & Wicked S5 Xperience
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] arcolino1:
ok got it, I'll drop file in root of phone and point to it in cwm. anything else I need to look out for or do first?

you mentioned "update the bootloader before flashing the ROM" need to do or should do or you can skip it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
If you're on the ND8 Bootloader/baseband then there's no reason to. Check in Settings/About Phone.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] arcolino1:
trying to install the rom as a zip file in cwm, cwm ver philz touch 6 build ver 6.41.6 cmd2lte.

error installing update ,installation aborted press any key to continue,

should it be installed in cwm as a zip file or a tar.md5 I tried both.

I checked the baseband ver it is now showing L710VPUDND8, before it was L710VPUCMK3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
No need to Odin then, the error message means you have a bad download. Delete it and download again. Only zips are flashed in recovery. There is no reason to Odin anything so everything should be in zip format.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rocket321:
Wow crawrj you rock! I have been comparing these smali files between the cspire and Sprint S3's, the ET4G mods/roms, for weeks and couldn't figure this out. I've been posting my work and pleas for help in a couple other threads for a while now :) so needless to say I'm really glad you stepped in and got this fixed for us Sprint S3 users.

May I ask - was there anything in particular that caught your eye about these line? Do you just know how to read smali that well you can just understand it like its code? What I'm asking I guess is how you figured it out :)

Anyway I greatly appreciate you doing this, and posting your code changes so it can be easily ported to other ROM's. :good::good:

If you can throw an Odex'd MC3 up I will test (on 3g)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] crawrj:
I would tell you but then I would have to send my ninjas after you. Lol I wish I could say how awesome I am but really it was very easy. I was asked by Agat to see if I could get it working. But things came up and I took several months off. When I came back I started doing pretty much the same as you were. Then while working on my S2 I read that one of the leaks had a working hotspot. So I installed the leak and confirmed it worked. After that I downloaded the other 3 versions that came after it. I compared the working leak with the next one in line. I found the section, changed it and tested. Once I had it identified I stepped it through each upgrade until I had the finished product. After that I compared it to the S3 and saw that they were the same, as far as the hotspot changes. So I modified it and had Agat test. And that was it. 4G will be much harder. Especially since I don't have access to 4G.

As for Odexing, the issue is that I don't have the phone. The only chance I get is when I can catch a friend that has it. Have only had one chance and I couldn't get it working. I think it is an issue of doing it while the system is up. I could do that on the S2 but doesn't seem to work on the S3. I tried from recovery but the system folder would not show up. Anybody know how to get the folder to show?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rocket321:
Only thing I can think of is in CWM go to advanced > mounts > mount /system; and also make sure running adb as root/su. I will try to play with trying to access /system in adb when I get a chance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] crawrj:
LOL yeah I thought about that right after I made that post. I don't know why I didn't think of it last time. I have never had to mount from recovery before so I just assumed it was done. Yes I know....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] crawrj:
#*^$# #(&$($ $(&#(&$ $(&$($&$ $(&$(&$ $(&$(&$ ($&$(&$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok now that that is out of my system, I need help. I am about to give up. I can not get this thing Odexed to save my life. I can Odex things on my S2 in no time. But I can not get it to work on the S3. Any help is appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SGSIIIJB:
Thanks! again crawrj i was able to implement this mod into wicked sensations 3.1 rom cant wait for 4g!!!!! and odex version!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] crawrj:
OK since I suck at Odexing, I was at least able to verify that the Deodexed version of MC3 is working.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MadFlava:
Maybe you should grab StrongSteve.. isnt Odex'd his thing?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] imaconeheadXD:
You're doing great even with no device, people could wait on the odex :p On another note I see that 4g tethering still appears not to work, I should be around some 4g tomorrow if you'd like me to take a logcat while trying to tether if that will help you

I'm running the stock odexed rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
All I'm saying is someone said it worked on DeOdex. As in, if you really want this mod, flash the stock DeOdex NJ2 by Chad the Pathfinder. Or you could try doing the edits to the services.jar. I never use this mod so it's honestly at the very bottom of my to-do list. If I even get around to it at all, I probably wouldn't do the Odex anyways because it's a pain.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
The ND8 DeOdexed one works on DeOdexed NJ2. I would personally just flash a custom ND8 ROM as the NJ2 update is relatively pointless. Both of my ROMs (check signature) have most of the NJ2 update in them and the hotspot mod as well.

how to change service.odex for new one for hotspot

I have tried to use es file explorer to re-name services.odex to services.bak and then replace it with the one downloaded from post but i cannot gain access to the file. it is probably in use and will not let me copy, change names or move it. How did you do it if you please sir?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
You have to grant ES root permissions and make system R/W.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Lensmonkey:
I had moved the button "Root Explorer" to "on" in ES file explorer. (pops out from the left side "fast access" slider when you tap the properties button) If that's what you refer to, but as to "make system R/W" I am in the dark. Could you shine your brain flashlight on that and explain how I might do that please. I will now google it too, like a diligent un-lazy person and read a bunch of irrelevant things and somehow end up losing an hour but knowing all about artisan yak cheese production.....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
I haven't used ES in awhile, so no I can't. I use Root Explorer from the Play Store and that will work for you out of the box.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Lensmonkey:
Yargh, I wasn't getting that menu in your picture...I checked and I had forgotten to re-install Supersu!

I had updated to NJ2 with a wipe data/Factory reset in Philz. Re-rooted with Philz. I tried Taking my original ND8HotspotMod-odex.zip that had been working for me and replacing the services.odex in the zip withthe one from post #583 and installing with Philz; update did not work. So I tried just using the old zip. Terrible idea. Now the phone boots to the samsung screen and hangs. Crap. I Odined NJ2 without wipe etc. (ok i think in this case?) All of this was too much effort it seems. All you need to do is replace Services.odex, that's it. I over-thought what was clearly stated!

So, a re-cap for those who might benefit. I updated to NJ2 with Odin. Installed Philz with Odin. Used re-root in Philz. Installed Supersu and es file explorer. Turned on "Root Explorer" under "fast access" menu(slides from left by pressing phone menu button). which revealed a pop-up menu. Pressed "Mount R/W" and selected RW buttons. Downloaded "services.odex" from post #583. Copied the original services.odex located in /system>framework to another folder for back-up. Pasted the downloaded services.odex into the /system>framework and overwrite. (this took a few seconds). Phone re-booted itself. I checked the file size of the Services.odex file in /system>framework to see if it was indeed 7.27mb (the new file) and had been replaced. I tested it with my kindle and computer. It works! ( I assume if I am not getting a message saying I will be charged by sprint or something that it is working) Cheers!

Try the modification that uses your msl with a dialer code adding ,dun. Only works on tw roms. You need to get your msl/spc #

Go to dial pad and type ##3282# (##DATA#) and hit*EDIT*then enter the MSL/SPC . Next go to*MORE*... scroll down to*LTEAPN SETTINGS... select*APN2 LTE internet*.....

About half way down and select*APN type*and add ,Dun inside the textbox and select OK. Reboot. Might only work on stock rooted ROM.
