[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JOB Dave:
I used my native tether yesterday morning and when I went to use it last night it won't connect to the computer nor does it show up in the hotspot window. When I look at the computer network icon it says limited access and the phone shows no connections. I even reapplied the modem and tether fixes with no change. I even restored the system thorough TWRP without success. Any ideas what happened and how to fix?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dcharleyultra:
If nothing is wrong with your ISP, have you tried rebooting or resetting your router?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JOB Dave:
My WiFi works fine when I turn it on, my problem is when I turn on the hotspot. When I do that WiFi gets turned off and I go through the Sprint network but the computer won't connect to the handset.

I have also removed my computer WiFi and let it reestablish and removed and reentered the MAC address from the handset, no help.

Edit: I had the laptop fired up and tried to connect to see what would happen and low and behold IT CONNECTED. I was blaming the handset but now it appears to be the desk machine but where to look? I have already removed all WiFi's listed and tried to reconnect without success and am not sure where to turn next.

Problem Solved: Removed and reinstalled the WiFi driver on the desk machine and am using the tether to enter this addition
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] junkyardwillie:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] scottgalit61:
Ok so can just flash this over... lets say like Moar 2.2??? Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Unknownforce:
It's already been said that this will not flash over anything but a stock MB1 rom. MOAR is not a stock rom.

Wait for a more polished release.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] crawrj:
No, one user reported that Moar did not boot with this mod.

A general rule, but not a guarantee, when using this with a custom Rom:

1. The Rom must be built on 100% stock MB1.

2. The services.jar has not been modified by the Rom developer.

And that is true for any mod, theme or whatever else that has been built on stock code.

If those two things are true you should be able to flash this with no problems. If not, you will just have to wait until it gets integrated into the Rom.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Rodnelson23:
Im still a noob on all of this. Where can I find what modem I'm on? All I know is I only rooted the phone from stock and have twrp recovery.

---------- Post added at 10:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 PM ----------

And I downloaded the odexed version. I read stock phone need odexed and custom roms need deodexed
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] seanskiT!:
Yes...for the most part. Since you are stock rooted then you need to use the odexed version.

Just fyi though, there a few custom ROMs that are odexed, that is why you have to be careful.

To find what modem your on: settings...about phone...see baseband...look at last three letters ex. MK3

sent from a GS3 gone wicked
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Rodnelson23:
Yes I have mk3. I also posted a screen shot of my settings just above. So if everything is correct on what I'm doing, my question is why my phone saying insert sim? I'm clueless on that. I've been trying to find a rom that's compatible with my setting and no luck. I've tried cm11 my network doesn't work and paranoid it always fail.. ever since this update to 4.3 alot off my apps doesn't work any more or I can't install them. Wish I could downgrade by to 4.1.2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dcharleyultra:
So it seems you took the 4.3 OTA and then rooted. Is this correct?

If so, I would try to update profile and prl in settings.

If this didn't work, I would try philz recovery.

If that didn't work, I would use PC Odin and reflash the stock OTA. Then try the hotspot mode again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Rodnelson23:
Ok ill try that next.

---------- Post added at 01:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 AM ----------

Updating profile and prl didn't changed my hot spot tethering from saying insert sim. The philz recovery what is the difference between twrp and that? And the ota flash ill have to search for the tar file. Im about to call it quits. This is a headache. I was using hyperdrive 13 and it worked flawless. Updated to 4.3 my camera went out but tethering everything else works. Now I'm stuck on the stock version and nothing wants to work :banghead:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dcharleyultra:
[MOD][Deodex][Odex][MB1][MC3][MD4][MK3]Hotspot Mod - Working 4G

How did you update to 4.3. Did you do a dirty flash? If so, you may want to try a factory reset. What ROM did you update from?

Regarding philz recovery, some people just have better luck with it. (I don't know the specific differences.)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Rodnelson23:
I did a over the air update to 4.3 then rooted from there. The rom I was using was hyperdrive 13 then the ota update made my camera stop working that's why I'm on stock now.

You flash it in recovery. Not Odin, I think that's for .tar only.

how do I know it's free

So I installed the mod, rebooted the phone and opened Sprint hotspot app and it works. The thing is I didn't try out this app to see how it behaves before the mod. So my question is, how do I know if I'm tethering for free? Does the app usually not work at all unless I have tethering on my plan?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bilgerryan:
Yeah it will tell you that you can't use the app without a $15 plan and sends you to the Sprint website if I remember right... If you're tethering you're doing it for free... If Sprint figures it out (by you doing it excessively) they'll let you know for sure

Quick update -

I got a 2nd hotspot test compiled for services.jar, but I think the odds of it working are only 50/50 or worse. This process will go faster when we have a deodexed ND8 base to test from.

I also got clued into this method being used on the Sprint S4 & S5: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2727127 which I have been playing with this afternoon. Unfortunately it appears that after starting sprint hotspot these DB values are quickly reverted back to their defaults which then kicks the hotspot back off. In other words, if I make the SQLite changes I'm able to launch and connect the hotspot but only for a few seconds. One interesting thing I've noticed is that the numeric carrier code: 310120 appears both in this database as well as the tethering.smail file, (it was NOT present in the MK3 JellyBean tethering.smail file, in fact there is quite a bit more code add in ND8).

I'm hoping we can get some expert assistance on this as I'm afraid it may be over my head. I'll add some more info here of what I'm working with and maybe we can get some help with where to go from here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rocket321:
Rocket321's call for help with ND8 Hotspot

Let's put our heads together to figure this out. I've taken care of pulling and decompiling the tethering.smail files from various roms & devices to help us out.

Ok, so here is the relevant section for implementing crawrj's framework MOD in ND8. There are a few extra lines in here vs our older JB files. I have removed the const/4 v8, 0x1 line as per the mod however the provision check still occurs and turns off the hotspot:

invoke-interface {v6}, Landroid/database/Cursor;->close()V

:cond_105
throw v0

.line 1808
:cond_106
[B]const/4 v8, 0x1[/B]

goto :goto_c0

Now this other section, when compared against older JB (S3) files, GS4 files, and Note3 files - this section is unique to the GS3 services.jar. I suspect this area may also be important in bypassing the check as well and I would appreciate some help with interpreting it. It may be noteworthy that the carrier code "310120" is also part of the com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db database which is used in the current GS5 hotspot mod, but which doesn't stick when used on the S3 under kitkat.

Removing this section since it was not related after all...See crawrj's post #2 for the ND8 code.

I'm attaching a ZIP to this post with all the relevant tethering.smali files in hopes that perhaps [MENTION=673989]crawrj[/MENTION] or one of our other modding guru's might be able to give some insight.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] crawrj:
OK sorry I planned on trying this a few days ago but got swamped with a big upgrade at work. I don't have much time but I was able to put this together quickly. If this works all credit goes to [MENTION=3585663]miked63017[/MENTION]. I used his find on the GS5. I don't have time to put this in a flashable but here is the deodexed services.jar. Test it out and let us know if it worked.

I'll post the specific code if someone confirms that it is working.

Also if it works please test 3g, 4g, bluetooth and USB tethering.
