I believe the issue is in comadose. I believe dnsmasq. Try setting a static dns, 8.8.4.4 for example.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jkj:
Anyone figured out a way to make this work for phones that can't activate so they don't have the hotspot app installed. I can't seem to get tether to work at all. I don't have the icon even after flashing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] fzammetti:
FYI, while I still assume this would cause an OTA failure, I answered my own (in retrospect, stupid) question after watching qbking77's video about undoing it: since this is just overwriting two files in system/framework (well, copying in new versions after you rename the originals really!) the answer is that sure, simply restore the originals when an OTA comes out and there shouldn't be any issue taking it (assuming otherwise stock, as always, of course!).

Just posting this in case anyone else has the same (silly) question :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] fgr:
Nevermind, being an extreme dumba$$ this morning. Sacs already has the hotspot mod. In such a hurry to get my other mods done I looked right past it...

I cannot get the mja deodexed to work.

I am full mja, running Sac's rom.

When I flash the mja deodexed hotspot mod and reboot, I get stuck at the yellow sprint screen, with no way out. I even pull the services.jar from my rom zip and push it back to try and recover, but no go.

Nandroids aren't working reliably for me, so I have to reinstall my rom and set everything back up.

Tried this twice with fresh downloads and the same result. Has anyone successfully installed the deodex mja version?

@crawrj FYI: I decompiled the services.jar in your zip and compared it to the one from sacs rom using winmerge, and the only differences are not where I would expect. Tethering.smali's seem to be the same.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] crawrj:
Sac's rom already includes the hotspot mod so there is no need to install it separately. And more than likely Sac has made other mods to services.jar which is why it wouldn't boot successfully. Now as to why you couldn't take the services.jar out of Sac's rom and install it, I don't know. Other than MJA being a big pain in the ass. But that should have worked. Or just reinstall the whole rom zip.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] fgr:
You were replying as I was realizing how stupid I was being... lol

You are 100% correct about MJA being a problem. Pushing the original jar back should have, and would have in all previous updates, fixed the problem.

It's got to be something in the knox bootloader. we'll just have to wait until it gets figured out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cruise350:
Yes, use a root file explorer and back up the system files the mod replaces, then restore those backups before you take an ota.

Hot Spot not working

I have the Galaxy S4 it is through a company called Flash Wireless which runs off the Sprint network. They have removed the hotspot icon completely. I have done some research your xda and found how to get the hotspot button back. I Currently I have the TriForce 3.1 Custom Rom installed. I get one of two errors when trying to connect my windows surface to my phone. Connection is taking to long and times out or it connects with limited connection (no internet access). I have tried loading the stock sprint mf9.tar and went through everything again and still having the same issue. I have also checked the hotspot mod settings and tried other roms as well. I know I was able to connect my surface to my evo 4G I use to have. Anybody have suggestion what should I look for what should I try. Below is my phone info.

Maybe i'm being extremely stupid, but i flashed this running the MJA negalite wonder rom, and it flashed fine in CWR but when i get back in, there is no option in settings to set up hotspot, this should just be under the connection tab right? I'm not sure what i'm missing here :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Archalys:
You just need to perform a factory data reset from inside the rom. Under backup & reset menu in the settings. Has anyone confirmed this working on MJA? Should I just Odin back to MF9 then update and autoroot, then apply this. Or is it only working on deodexed? Probably asked already but I'm really stretched for time right now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shahran:
I am on SACS CUSTOM ROM 4.3 and my hotspot button is not there, tried installing this and it wont boot up so I am not sure what to do. I asked on that thread and didn't get anything to work. Any idea why nothing will work? Really miss the hotspot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] crawrj:
Look at post 2 and give this a try.

Missing Hotspot Option In Settings

Those of you that have the Hotspot option missing in settings, use the instructions for adding the toggle. Only this time you are going to choose the secure table instead of system. Select * for everything or chameleon_tethereddata. If the value for chameleon_tethereddata is not 3 change it to 3. Reboot the phone and see if Hotspot is showing up now in settings.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] crawrj:
SACS already has the hotspot mod included. To get your phone booting again just reinstall SACS Rom or restore a nandroid.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shahran:
It's not even the toggle not being there, hotspot is nowhere in the ROM, not under settings. I just installed v4 of the ROM and it's the same.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] crawrj:
I know. Read what I posted again. This is for the option missing in settings.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shahran:
So I got into setting storage and then clicked system, then query editor, and pasted "SELECT * FROM [system] [name] WHERE [name]=”notification_panel_active_app_list” " but it says no such column.

So then I tried to do what you said, but I am so confused I don't even know the first step:

"Those of you that have the Hotspot option missing in settings, use the instructions for adding the toggle. Only this time you are going to choose the secure table instead of system. Select * for everything or chameleon_tethereddata. If the value for chameleon_tethereddata is not 3 change it to 3. Reboot the phone and see if Hotspot is showing up now in settings"

The bold parts confuse me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] crawrj:
Instead of system you choose secure and in select replace system with secure and notification... With chameleon...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shahran:
Sorry for being a dumbo, finally got it! I tried to add the toggle now and it still says "no such column." Thank you for all of your help, you are awesome!

EDIT: Tried the 2nd method and it worked, thanks for everything!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] milkshake2k3:
where is the one that will work with (( ROM )) Sacs Custom 4.3 Rom 11-19-13 V4.1??

by the way, i'm still using MDL baseband
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] fzammetti:
Maybe too soon to ask, but... MK2 support? I noted that the MD5 of the new services.jar and ODEX files were different than MJA so I didn't try it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Keithgordon:
I just updated to mk2 and installed it, it is working fine
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sputnik767:
I tried installing it, phone failed to boot past the yellow sprint screen. I do not have a custom recovery, so I copied the files manually, overwriting the originals. I have always done it this way. Had to ODIN back to MJA and update to MK2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Keithgordon:
Yeah, sorry for the misinformation, I updated with the Warboy MK2 update, then flashed them individually rebooting completely after flashing each one, and thought i had flashed them both, but I just flashed them again to make sure and found myself stuck at the samsung screen, so obviously something was wrong...i'll check it out and see
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] gharlane00:
I need a little advice on getting this to work on my Step Mom's phone.

I went home for the Thanksgiving holiday and my step mom had recently upgraded to a GS4. When I got my hands on the phone it was already on MJA. I successfully rooted it with CF Autoroot and then flashed the Hotspot Mod on her phone. Well it turned out that she had already subscribed to the Hot Spot service so I told her that she could call Sprint and have them cancel the service.

So she called Sprint on Tuesday after I was already back home and had them cancel the Hot Spot service and now she gets the "unable to connect to data network' "Not subscribed" error when she launches it.

I walked her through re flashing the MJA specific zip and after she rebooted it still errored out.

We did a full factory reset and then flashed again and still not working.

My phone works perfectly on MJA so I cannot figure out what is wrong with hers. The Hotspot had been working fine when it was subscribed and one would think that the Mod would just make it work again. I am at a loss and would love some ideas.

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] newtonfb:
So this still works with the mk2 update? I don't want to update if I will lose my hotspot. I'm stock rooted that's all.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] newtonfb:
I do have cwm installed. I guess I could just flash zip that way. But still curious about hotspot after I update
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] newtonfb:
i found this on a youtube comment and i dont know if it works. Concerning the stuck at yellow boot screen.

"I managed to boot back into recovery, went into the file manager, deleted the 2 new services files then renamed the backups by deleting .bak from their filenames. Rebooted into system and voila!﻿"

I was wondering if anyone has tried this? I cant try it because the phone im doing it on is for a friend and isnt my own so i wont do anything until i know it works. I updated his phone to MJA and then rooted and installed CWM. I then installed the hotspot zip via CWM and it works. He just got the MK2 update but i told him not to update until i find a fix for the hotspot. He uses the hotspot for his home internet since he lives out in the woods and honestly cant get anything but dial up. He doesn't use it alto just for browsing and whatever.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] us3rX:
Tried and got the "yellow brick" so I just restored back to the back up I made before trying.

Guess we just have to be patient.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Foulwx:
Oh darn, just got the MK2 update notice. I'll have to hold off because I need that hotspot mod for my N7. Crawrj must be busy, as most of us are this time of year. Well, thanks in advance to Crawrj whenever you get to do it.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] briansteedman:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] tnadawg89:
I am also patiently waiting for an mk2 fix.. I like being on the latest updates regardless if they are important or not and I can't update if I can't use my hotspot.. ;) Thank you in advance Crawrj!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jejb:
According to this thread, it looks like he has already updated it for MK2. I guess he just has not updated this thread yet?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] tnadawg89:
Yeah I saw that but I don't want to flash a ROM just to have the hotspot.. I would rather just flash the mod.. Thanks for looking out man
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] aburns7487:
I too would like the MK2 hotspot MOD as I enjoy Sacs ROM.

Much appreciated if you could post one. I understand your time maybe limited.

Thanks for all that you already do.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] fgr:
I have put together the HotSpot mods for MK2. I copied what crawrj had done and applied it to the MK2 update.

I pm'd crawrj a few days ago about posting up this mod in another thread, but haven't heard back. It's a busy time of year for many people, hopefully he's just spending time with family.

I know a lot of you are waiting for this, so I'm going to go ahead and post my links.

Just flash them from recovery like any other zip.

can you help me get hotspot option as well, I am also on boost no matter how many resets I try I can not get hotspot to appear in settings,I tried through settings and also tried in stock boot recovery,through there I have went to the wipe cache option and factory reset when i t comes back on I still do not have hotspot option
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] chico1983:
I downloaded the deoxed version and ran it on my stock rooted mk2 galaxy s4. when i activate (turn on) a box pops up saying connecting to hotspot. and then i get an error message error hotspot unable to connect to date network. turning off your hotspot. your plan may not have the hotspot service. do you want to subscribe.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] fgr:
What rom are you running? Did you just root the stock rom, or did you flash a different stock rom?

If you just rooted the stock rom, you are odexed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] chico1983:
It works. Thanks for the help...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] fzammetti:
Worked perfectly for me (stock + rooted), thank you sir!

FYI, I *did not* flash it... I just extracted the two framework.* files, backed up originals, copied the new in and rebooted. No problems at all.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Howie713:
Within the zip it has a meta-inf with cert .rsa and cert .sf. Among others..... where do these files go when installed? What are the purpose of these files? if any. I am still trying to figure out why I can't get mine to work. I know it has something to do with my carrier which is like a sister company of sprint. called Flash Wireless. If I understood the whole purpose of the files and which files get changed in the process. It may help me find the issue. If any one knows all the files that work with the hotspot mod i could compare and see what is different.

Thank you

Which recovery are you using?

Do you know of a solution like this for a sprint note note stock rooted 4.3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] briansteedman:
Slight hiccup...but all is well.

I feel I should post this, perhaps someone with a bigger brain will be able to tell me why. But, I got the .zip file to install on my Galaxy S4, running stock recovery, no issues whatsoever. However, my wife's Galaxy S4, bought the same day as mine from the same store as mine, presumably from the same build release as mine, didn't take the .zip install. Stock recovery as well. I had to unpack and manually copy over the two services files in the framework folder. But, once I did that, everything was fine.

So, just putting it out there that if the .zip file doesn't work for you, unpack it and manually copy over the .jar and .odex files in the services folder over into /system/framework, and it'll work just fine.

Now I wait til I have to do this again when Kitkat gets released for this phone...yay.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Howie713:
Can some one tell me where I can find the tetherprovision.apk or can someone make a copy of theirs. Thanks in advanced.

Also can someone tell me how the hotspot gets its LAN Settings? Cause mine shows my local ip as 192.168.1.1 which means its not getting my local IP. I believe this has to do with why when I try to connect something to my hotspot it only gets limited connectivity. There has to be a file that was erased or changed.

I downloaded the mk2 hotspot mod and flash it from philz recovery it installed successfully but when i rebooted to the system it stuck on samsung logo

So i reflashed the MJA mod and now i can boot.

Does the build number is the problem?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Raistlin1:
I thought I was going crazy not finding the hotspot setting in the menu, why would it be missing? I am on a 4.3 rom that is stock with just knox removed, mk2 modem and flashed this mod (both rom and mod were the odex version) and couldn't find it. I am not sure if it was even there before I flashed this mod.

Is there any way to fix this besides the method for adding the toggle?

You will have to pm crawj or the guy that provided the mk2 mod from post 337 in this thread to see if they can make you the mod for the 720T version. They well probably need you to send them the files to mod since not to many people on here have that phone yet to develop on. You could also install Wanum xposed middle from the play store and use it to disable the Sprint provisioning check on the hot spot.
