No, you have to flash a zip for it and have the g2 xposed module activated also. There are threads for both in the G2 development forums.
[Sprint LG G2] lowpro3210:
VERY NICE-THANK YOU SO MUCH...will follow your directions minus installing NFCfix.zip since youdug has fixed that in his most up to date release...fingers crossed, I will post results..don't worry, I have a list of people who to THANKS including you once I get back my thanks reps!!! :good::highfive::laugh:

noticed this says deodex splitview.zip, I am on odex ROM, will that matter?
[Sprint LG G2] saucratiz:
i canfirm still working typed mesg from my busted laptob
[Sprint LG G2] lowpro3210:
yikes lol; so using the deodex splitview.zip you posted from your dropbox account will work on youdugs ODEX ROM?
[Sprint LG G2] saucratiz:
Yes sir just wish it would allow you to choose any audio you want m instead of recent
[Sprint LG G2] ericdabbs:
Just a heads up that the current hotspot file (deodex or odex) you may have problems with activating tether multiple times. It sounds like the limitation is a single or two time instance. The workaround is to reboot your phone if u cant tether. Rest assure that metalboy is working on a fix for this to allow multiple tether instances without having to reboot ur phone each time.
[Sprint LG G2] saucratiz:
I can confirm that once second device is connected no data through first device

FML...I followed your instructions clearly; used TWRP 2.6.3.3 and upon installing ZIPs and rebooting, google play is no longer there and went to enable wifi hotspot and am getting "unable to establish wireless connection"..then turns off and says "Network error" same errors as before... I think I'm going to take a break for a few days because this is SOOOOOO frustrating and I don't know what to do! but thanks for all your help and well as other XDA members, :( ughhhh
[Sprint LG G2] rmnelson:
I never got a chance to flash youdug's rom to see if it fixed my problems. However, just for the heck of it I decided to see if the Xbox would connect and surprisingly it does. Now if you remember I never had a problem getting my laptop to CONNECT it just wasn't transmitting any data so I couldn't actually use the internet. But with the Xbox it did let me download an update and get on YouTube... so it obviously transmits data. Anyone have any suggestions as to why I can't make it work with my laptop? I have tried 2 different laptops with no luck. Absolutely no issues with the Xbox and it works perfectly with the galaxy tab 3 also. I'm stumped.
[Sprint LG G2] TechNinja49:
In the OP it mentioned people having to take the OTA first before installing the mod.

I'm on stock rooted and didn't take the OTA yet. If I take it, can I still root again and install TWRP afterwards?
[Sprint LG G2] bigpappa:
Yes, you can.

The only issue I have is the same as others in having to reboot in order to reactivate the tether.

---------- Post added at 09:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 PM ----------

No problems with multiple devices being connected. Make sure you have set the number of allowed connections in the tether settings.
[Sprint LG G2] rmnelson:
I'm also not able to set the maximum connections above the default 2 connections. It reverts back to 2 every time.
[Sprint LG G2] fltengineer:
So I have been watching and reading the thread and I am on the "does not work" list. I initially tried after rooting and running on the stock V8. No joy, so I flashed the Stock rooted V8 and retried with still no joy.

Process I am using with TWRP 2.6.3.3

Initially

- Wiped both caches

- Flashed the tether mod (Odex)

- Wipe both caches again

- Rebooted to system

- Updated PRL and Profile

No joy

Tried a full wipe everything cept internal storage

- Flashed Stock rooted V8 (Odex)

- Rebooted and allowed for updates

- Recovery, wiped both caches

- Flashed the tether mod (Odex)

- Wiped both caches again

- Reboot to system

- Updated PRL and Profile

No joy

- Rebooted system (since other people mentioned this helps)

Again no joy

Messages I get are:

- Network unavailable try again (small print at the bottom of the screen), and the toggle trips off, as well as my wifi

- Resetting wifi and trying again earns the larger pop up "Netwrok Error" message that some people are getting, as well as the MIP:67 error occasionally. The MIP error is very random....maybe once for every 10 tries.

I have updated my profile and PRL numerous times also besides just after flashing the tether mod.
[Sprint LG G2] chenry944:
Only thing I can suggest is to install philz custom recovery.
[Sprint LG G2] SuezieQueue:
Hi, will this work with the Yeezy ROM? And if so, shoukd I choose the odex file?
[Sprint LG G2] Ascertion:
Those of you having problems...what method did you use to root? If Kingly, please restart from scratch and root with ioroot because that's what solved my ROM/Recovery issues.

Also according to users of IceROM, WiFi tether works out of the box so I'd recommend flashing that for now to confirm whether it's your device or the method of root.

[Sprint LG G2] Ascertion:
Yeezy ROM is based on v7 of Stock ROM so it won't work. You'll need a ROM based on V8 firmware, which at the moment is IceROM or Stock rooted v8.

tried using PhilZ recovery originally, then everyone mentioned try using TWRP 2.6.3.3 as the recommended recovery as per stated in OP and still no luck
[Sprint LG G2] honest1212:
I am on V8 stock rooted. I have flashed the odexed version using TWRP 2.6.3.3. I didnt got the option of Wifi hotspot.

Then I manually copied the file to framework folder and changed the permission and still I am not seeing any option to turn hotspot.

Am I missing something?

I am going into settings>more(just below Share and Connect)

Please help.
[Sprint LG G2] Kenndore:
When I first installed this, I was having network connection issues. So I read to try taking your SIM card out, then turn back on. Turn back off, reinsert SIM and update prl and etc. It worked for me.
[Sprint LG G2] saucratiz:
Try not wiping anything after you install the Rom and run an update just boot into recovery abs flash the odex tether abs reboot...thats is what was different from your method to mine.

I'm curious are you in a lte area
[Sprint LG G2] harmonyxda:
Great job!

Tested with stock rooted ls980.
[Sprint LG G2] saucratiz:
also can confirm that it works in icerom just wipe everything except interanal storage and flash and reboot then update profile
[Sprint LG G2] mchlbenner:

I flashed the furnace kernel and hotspot worked fine.

As a test i fladhed back to stock kernel guess what it will not work anymore.

I'm on stuck rooted twrp recovery.

As i throught kernel issue.
[Sprint LG G2] mchlbenner:
test 2

i have reflashed the furance kernel and hotspot works again.

p.s i did remove xposed.:good:

I also did not whipe anything.
[Sprint LG G2] justinswidebody:
So everyone that the hot spot works for, do you all have lte service? I just switched my phone to just cdma to force 3g and guess what. I get the message about not being subscribed to tether and get an error 67 pop up
[Sprint LG G2] darkfangex5:
no hotspot feature or tethering usb... anywhere?

The hotspot feature from my phone is just missing... across all stock roms that currently exist for the g2 even after using this mod... it just doesn't exist... any ideas anyone?... and no its not in Settings > more. all it says is nework and vpn. nothing else. also usb settings are charge only, mtp, and ptp... ive spent hours downloading and flashing many various roms and full wiping to no avail... can anyone give me insight on this?

---------- Post added at 12:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 AM ----------

i'm having this same exact issue.... missing tethering option... its pratically non existent on any rom that i've flashed...
[Sprint LG G2] rmnelson:
Mine is working with the Xbox and a tablet on lte but not the 2 laptops... it connects but no internet, says local only. If I switch to cdma only I get the error.
[Sprint LG G2] fltengineer:
I am not on LTE currently and have not had a chance to check it on LTE. I only have 3G at my house. When I return to work next week Ill check it on LTE to see if that helps
[Sprint LG G2] ChoppedLiver:
I had this too, found it quite baffling that it persisted even when wiping system and flashing a fresh ROM. Found in the end that a profile update fixed this for me, so give that a try..
[Sprint LG G2] darkfangex5:
I just tried that.... sadly it did nothing. I no longer have hotspot enabled on my plan as of January 15 but right now i should still have it. Officially. I just literally don't have it in my settings. Do it have a plan with them for hotspot? So as of now this and ice Rom along with a profile update doesn't give me the hotspot or even usb tether...
[Sprint LG G2] pintopunk:
In tethering hit settings #of connections allowed mine was default at 2 devices had to manually change.
[Sprint LG G2] rmnelson:
My problem isn't connecting more than 2 things at a time, well that IS a problem I'm having but it has nothing to do with my laptops not getting an internet connection through hotspot. I simply cannot connect the laptops at all and have internet. However, now that you bring it up, I can't change that setting you mention to anything but the default 2. It always reverts back. My daughter's phone changes just fine and sticks, Idk why mine won't. Regardless, doesn't help my laptops connect. :/
[Sprint LG G2] Ascertion:
Confirmed requires LTE to work, 3G is a no go. This confirmation is a big help and we'll get it fixed asap.

Thanks for reporting bugs. We'll get this looked at in no time.

EDIT: To fix this issue, I'm going to need someone that's on 'Global' under network options and in a 3G-only area to post a log cat of them trying to get the tether active. Best if you can also keep the log running until you get the -67 error. If you can help provide a log, it'll be fixed a lot quicker. :)

Hopefully I don't get in trouble for posting an external link (google play store) but is this in a nutshell the same concept?

[Sprint LG G2] rmnelson:
I will be in a 3g only area tomorrow, I could do this if no one else gets around to it earlier. I have the aLogcat app, will that work? Could you please specify what the settings need to be? The first time I tried to use it I didn't think it produced the right results so I figured the settings weren't right.
[Sprint LG G2] Ascertion:
Under settings > More > Mobile Networks > NetworkMode, please make sure it's set to Global.

If you are in a 3G only area, you're good to start aLogcat, as soon as it starts, go into settings, turn WiFi Tether on, wait until an error pops up (usually it'll say unable to connect to network.) then you can go back and hit stop aLogcat and save the log somewhere on your SD card, then please upload it here. You may need to compress it into a .zip first.

This will help tremendously if you can get an accurate log of it working whilst on 'Global' network settings. I have too much 4G around myself to test this properly. It's a good problem to have, though!
[Sprint LG G2] rmnelson:
I'm wondering more about the settings in aLogcat, I don't want to upload useless information due to having the settings wrong and not recording the correct data. In experimenting with the app I realize the information seems to vary greatly depending on the settings, all of which is nonsense to me lol. I just want to be sure you get what you need.
[Sprint LG G2] KB112:
I only have 3G at home and its pretty weak. Usually in the 300kbps range. I have tested this 2x before and the hot spot hack works fine for me. I just turned it on and connected my kids old HTC tablet with no issue.

Try using the app Catlog from play store. It'll need root permission, allow for this time to gain system level logs and it'll save to your /sdcard/catlog directory. It logs most of the events necessary.

Do you have LTE in your area when you profile updated?
[Sprint LG G2] rmnelson:
Ok here are 3 files from when I was in 3g this morning. File names have timestamp of course... the first one I got the error. Ticked on hotspot, lost data, got message saying I wasn't subscribed, etc. I did it again just for good measure and none of that happened. I didn't lose data, no errors, no messages, no idea why. 3rd time same thing, no obvious problems. I didn't have my laptop with me to test out actual connection though, so I'll do that in a couple of hours when I'm back in 3g. I didn't have much time for trial and error but I restarted my phone and I'm pretty sure the first time I got errors and second time I didn't again. Idk, I'll verify that in a little while. I hope I'm doing this right, I didn't see an option to upload the actual file so here's the Dropbox link...

https://www.dropbox.com/s/34gp341lke5bgk5/2013-12-30.zip
[Sprint LG G2] fltengineer:
Confirmed today that my issue is 3G related.

While at home yesterday in 3G only, hotspot would not connect and would error out constantly.

Today I went into town and hit a 4G area, so I tried hotspot and it worked flawlessly. Was able to change number of connections and connected my tablet with good data.

So for me 3G at home will not allow tether, but 4G while at work functions as advertised.

Yes, but not a strong signal in the house, only get LTE in some areas. Not really sure if I did the profile update with LTE reception or not, honestly probably not.
[Sprint LG G2] darkfangex5:
So when i bought my unit official stock unrooted hotspot wasn't an option.... and even now hotspot is missing... many profile updates later it dodnt work at all. It's missing... and even the display unit at best buy i bought it from is lacking wifi hotspot... can anyone here at all figure out this issue?! Missing hotspot options in settings... no matter what stock rom. Rooted unrooted yeezy icy nothing... I'm about to try the original android roms...
[Sprint LG G2] justinswidebody:
Darkfangex5, I assume you are not in an lte area? I have been attempting to read code and I have found what I think is where they made the hotspot only available in ehrpd and lte. This is why some people have tether in 3g network. Because it works in ehrpd. So until you are able to update your profile in an lte area you will not have a hotspot feature
[Sprint LG G2] darkfangex5:
Im in a ehprd area. And tried profile updates in an LTE area many times to no avail... Can ANYONE give me any insight to this random stupid issue?

You guys have mod that themes your phone? What ROM are you running? It should be present on the confirmed working ROMs in the OP.

Sent from my LG-G2
[Sprint LG G2] bigpappa:
Darkfang, have you tried maybe rolling back to stock OS, doing a full restore? Thats what I would do to start with rather than beat my head on the wall looking for a fix. Could be your hotspot files got lost in the shuffle between roms, updates etc. that you have done. Roll back and start from scratch with a fresh stock install. If it still isnt there after that then your phone is a dud and should be exchanged.

Also I will say that the questions you have about were it is might be better served in the q&a forum. The folks in this thread may/may not have working tethering but the settings to enable it are at least visible. Not quite sure this thread is the right place to help find missing software.
[Sprint LG G2] darkfangex5:
There is no way its a dud because again the display unit at the store running zv6 has the same exact issue.
[Sprint LG G2] bigpappa:
Different perspective... if its the same store you bought it from... Maybe they got a bad batch of phones and yours and the display model are both from the same batch. When I got my phone it was on release day and it was zv7. This mod needs the zv8 update to run also.
[Sprint LG G2] darkfangex5:
I am on zv8 and tethering works perfectly on cm roms. Also on the note of batches i just helped a friend pick out a computer which was sold out at the best buy i got my phone at. The best buy 1 hour away has a black g2 on display (mine and the local g2 is white) and sure enough. No tethering options. Running zv6.
[Sprint LG G2] bigpappa:
Just trying to give you food for thought. Although unlikely it is possible they sold you a unit that was intended for demo purposes that had tethering disabled. If tethering is working for you on CM then I still suggest rolling back to stock first and starting with a fresh install, or maybe use CM. Thats the best I got to help ya. Smarter minds than mine might be able to help more but I do think its best served in q&a. Sorry I cant help more.
[Sprint LG G2] darkfangex5:
So apparently it was probably because i bought my unit not on contract and just activated and straight rooted it afterwards and jumped roms. so i flashed ZV7 and let it run its course... the whole time not once did it ever have any sprint apps when i first turned it on or sprint anything. Apparently if i let it run its course and do that then it comes back. So if anyone ever runs into this problem PM me and ill let you know how i fixed the issue. Its not 4g or 3g its just reverting to straight stock and trying to let the sprint activation run its course all the way to installing base apps for tethering provisions.... and of course their own garbage apps :good:
[Sprint LG G2] ChoppedLiver:

Interesting you mention that, when I did the profile update on ZV8 which got me my tethering options in settings > more, it was also followed by installation of a set of Sprint apps (before that there were at least 2 of them already there, but not very many). I didn't think much of it at the time, but now it seems significant since you were not seeing the hotspot option in your menu after that happened either.

For what it's worth, it was likely the first time I did a profile update on ZV8, but I am positive I did do a profile/PRL update on ZV7 before and never got those Sprint apps at that time.
[Sprint LG G2] darkfangex5:
I should have clarified I flashed it using download mode. Because even with any stock rooted Roms I never got Sprint apps. After i finished and booted up it installed on its own and gave me tether options... and an ugly sprint boot screen lol.
[Sprint LG G2] bigpappa:
Any news on a fix for the odex version to make it so we dont need to reboot the phone in order to tether again? Not that its critical, just trying to get the thread back on track.

[Sprint LG G2] mrrogers1:
eHRPD is a software update on the tower serving the 3G data. The update was made to most of the legacy towers in most markets (obviously not all) and if you live in a "4G/LTE" launched market (I believe the magic number is 40% of Sprint subscribers are covered with LTE), I would assume most if not all your towers are serving this 3G data as new equipment (from what I understand) only serves eHRPD 3G and not EV-DO 3G data anymore. If you want to see what kind of data you are getting, I recommend using an app by one of our members here [MENTION=1986757]mikejeep[/MENTION] called SignalCheck as it'll tell you what data is being delivered. In the Pro version, it'll even tell you the location (exact or triangulated depending on the towers equipment) of the tower.

"4G" is high speed mobile data technology and "LTE" is the "type" of 4G that we get on Sprint now. It used to be "WiMax".

If someone has native tethering hotspot add on through Sprint, please test it with EvDo active (set the data to CDMA only). This will confirm if Sprint is using a protocol that requires eHRPD+.
