First your phone needs to be rooted, and then you need to have ES File Explorer installed on your phone. You can use ES File Explorer to edit the file in the system folder.

1. Open ES File Explorer

2. Pull up the Menu for it (hold down the multitask button for that)

3. Tap on Tools

4. Turn on Root Explorer

5. Tap on Root Explorer on the left side and go to Mount R/W

6. Make sure all of the settings are set to RW, tap OK

7. At the top of ES File Explorer tap / that should take you to the root of the phone,

Now go to System, CSC, and open customer.xml

When you click on the file it opens it up in read only, you have to hit the menu in the top right corner to edit the file.

Be very careful and only change the things below. I would make a back up of the file and place it somewhere you know you can find it. What you are going to change is in bold.

View attachment 2691793

Save the changes and reboot

Once you are restarted navigate to where the APN's are. System Settings, More Networks, Mobile Networks, Access Point Names. Once you are there click on the top right corner and tap Reset to Default. That should update the APN, you can now go in and verify that under T-Mobile US LTE the APN protocol is now set to ipv4. If the change didn’t pull over you should be able to edit it and change it to ipv4;

These are the Wifi Tether Router Settings from the developer below. Make sure that your WiFi is turned on before you start the app.

Is there a free.apk of the app? Or can any of you make one?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] riots1:
What plan do you have to be on for this to work ?

Do you have to be on a plan that has unlimited phone data?

or can you be on a plan that has a limit and that shares your monthly bandwidth between your phone data and tethering ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] blackknightavalon:
Wifi tethering works on international ROMS like Omega.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] OldManJax:
I have unlimited data on my plan. I am sure the app works with any data plan. The app had nothing to do with Your plan, it just uses the phone data vs your tethering data.

Am I missing something? Wifi tether works fine on stock (not rooted) for me. Just turn it on, no hassle.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mrl0n3ly714:
when i turn it on, my laptop doesn't see the SSID, i tried to switch from wifi mode to N or G too...

what happen ?

I have no idea.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] jjlean:
Is it set to broadcast ssid?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mrl0n3ly714:
where do i set that ? under the wifi tether router, there is no option for that.

broadcast ssid is set to default WiFiTeher-AP
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] jjlean:
Let me check on this phone. Give me an hour or so to get home
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mrl0n3ly714:
I edit the file,

changed to ip6 to ip4, and enable the APN edit,

i can see under APN ip protocol is ip4 even its gray out

wifi tether open up

set the setting as instructed.

turn on, then no SSID can be seen from laptop, phone or any other devices

turn off wifi tether, and use tmobile app hotspot then i can see SSID.

by the way, the only thing I'm seeing the difference using this app vs tmobile hotspot is that the APN being difference ? am i correct ?

we need to use fast.tmobile.com and protocol ipv4

because under customer.xml we can change the tether access point name from pcweb.tmobile.com to fast.t-mobile.com APN, then use the native mobile hot spot tmobile turn it on ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] riots1:
I just got service Saturday and I HAD a plan that was 5GB shared for data and hotspot. That was the $20 plan

Thats why i asked what plan are you using to confirm there are other plans. The sales rep didnt offer me the unlimited phone data.

I called in and got it changed over. Same price for unlimited phone data and 3GB hotspot.

So this app will just use your phone data which is unlimited.

Whats the hack that they are using in the customs roms which allows using the tmobile hot spot app and bypass and uses the phone data?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ddizzy81:
I was using the WiFi tether app for a couple days. Once I started streaming it sent me a msg saying I used all my tethering data. I followed all those instructions in the previous post. Now I'm out of tethering data . is there anyway to bypass this
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] awful_bliss:
Make sure under system settings > wifi > advanced that 'always allow scanning' is unchecked.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mrl0n3ly714:
I did that. I'm on stock rom. Still not showing ssid

---------- Post added at 05:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:54 AM ----------

After u hit ur limit. You still can use Internet data. But it won't be LTE speed instead it will be 3gs or 4G. But still unlimited data till next billing cycle
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] awful_bliss:
I'm also running the stock ROM and wasn't seeing the SSID either, until I unchecked 'always allow scanning' and now everything is working after following the instructions in this thread. Not sure why it isn't working for you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ddizzy81:
So if I set my phone to 4g only it will work? And how can I get it to work where I can use unlimited lte to tether
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mrl0n3ly714:
Is ur wifi calling on? Always allow scanning is always off, I didn't turn on. But I have wife connect and wifi calling prior enable wifi tether app. Is wifi calling matter on or off ? Or wifi connect to router or disable before turn on wifi tether app?

---------- Post added at 06:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 AM ----------

I Ave unlimited data but 3 LTE. So u can't get unlimited tle, ur tether data will be using toward ur LTE data plan. As soon ur hit limit, speed will slow down. Till billing recycling
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] awful_bliss:
I have to leave wifi on, but disconnect from any wifi networks before enabling.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] riots1:
i have turned of wifi scanning. I tired turning wifi on before enabling. turned wifi calling on and off.

I can not get it to broadcast a ssid. I can using the tmobile hot spot app. any other ideas?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] awful_bliss:
No other ideas, sorry. Also, today I noticed a setting in wifi tether router to 'auto disconnect wifi when start tethering' and now I don't even have to manually disconnect wifi before enabling.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] njdevils28:
The Dev added a new option to disconect from WiFi Network when you enable tethering and start the Cell Data plan going. That way you just have to enable the App and it will disconect from an Active WiFi Conection for you. It works well.

I have attached the update from the Developer. I just saw that he updated his App on google play so the APK here is moot. Just update the App from the store and it will apear.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] BlackAlpha7:
Are there any other root work arounds besides paying for some app that may or may not work?

I can't remember the exact link but a few days ago I did find one that said it would work by changing one of the database settings through a SQL editor to wifi_tether_dun = 0 however after doing that it still checks my account and says it is not setup for mobile hotspot.

Does the Omega ROM (which I have seen multiple people says supports tethering out of the box) still have wifi calling included in it? I know with a lot of the custom roms you lose wifi calling and I am not willing to do that just yet.

I bought pdanet a while ago and it works great on my non rooted device for wired tethering.

Which will work perfectly if you are just using a computer

Are you still on the stock ROM or did you flash something else? The only way to get around it right now i'm aware of on stock is to buy some program.

Build KOT49H.G900TUVU1ANCH

Now I just need to figure out how to get this latest firmware update....

---------- Post added at 05:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:41 AM ----------

So, after digging, reading, crying, and lots of booze, I found a solution to our ongoing issue.. HOWEVER, there's a note that isn't noted that's worth noting (huh?):

Do what they say on the following thread

.

Spend $2.50 on Tether Router in the Play Store; or download the .APK (one of the first few pages in the thread).

Do what they say again in the thread

.

If you have any existing WiFi connections saved and connect to them automatically, delete those connections (forget), leave WiFi enabled, then turn on the WiFi Router.

Here's a summery:

Use Root Explorer or a Root browser of some sort (ROM Toolbox is great since the Root Browser includes an XML editor) and navigate to system/csc

Change the permissions for customer.xml to allow read and write access.

Modify the customer.xml file and change the IPV6 values to IPV4. Also change the "<Editable>no</Editable>" to "<Editable>yes</Editable>".

Navigate to your system settings menu for your Access Point Names Settings > Network Connections > More Networks > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names. Use the Menu toggle and select the only option Reset to default. This may take a few seconds to a minute to refresh the list. If you click the "T-Mobile US LTE" APN, you should see that you can now edit the values, though you shouldn't have to if the APN Protocol is already set to IPv4. Mine is set to IPv4/IPv6 and works just fine.

Buy the darn app, Wifi Tether Router by FABIO GRASSO. It's only $2.50 and apparently, it works.

YOU NEED ROOT ACCESS

Launch Wifi Tether Router and select Configure WiFi Router.

Allow Root Access

Use the following settings to ensure stability and workability with your SGS5:

Interface wlan0

Method 3 - HostApd

Encryption wpa2-psk

Channel 1

Drivers nl80211

"HostApd Patch" <-

UNCHECKED

"No Firmware Reload" <- UNCHECKED

Ensure your wireless device is N or G compatible and adjust the setting accordingly in the same list.

Back out of the configuration settings once you've set them up but don't enable the hotspot yet.

First, open your WiFi settings and Turn on WiFi. If you connect to any WiFi networks,

delete those network connections and don't connect to any wifi networks

and leave WiFi turned ON.

Go Back to WiFi Tether Router and Enable WiFi Router.

Poof! It should be working. If for some stupid reason it isn't, Reboot your phone, enable WiFi, and try again.

If not, try the Omega international ROM that everyone is talking about. Tether works great on it from what I hear.

Here's the original threads that helped me: Thread 1, Winning Post
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] hillg001:
Problem is - there are MULTIPLE ways to skin this cat. Example for us was, we have the un-throtled / unlimited T-mo LTE plan. can you imagine this plan, and you're letting the whole neighborhood piggyback off your wifi? VERY unfair ... so you can see why T-Mo wants to block some folks (like us). We found our international 8" Galaxy tab S had no issues (except getting it to run on a t-mo lte radio) with being block by default. But our T-MO Galaxy Note 3 was a diffrent story ... it took TONS of gymnastics to unblock T-Mo's wifi teather block. Funny thing; we only needed to let others use our wifi for a few days, than we'd be back to less than 12gb/month. that's just the way it goes sometimes.

Bottom line - every device may respond to unblocking differently . . . . that's why there are so many different suggestions on how to skin the cat. We tried numerous methods prior to enabling our note 3. After 8 attempts, number 9 worked for us. We had to (root, then) freeze T-Mo's stock wifi setup, than purchase one of several app store programs. After trying many of them ... it was the "wifi teather router" one that worked for us.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] androidddaaron:
WiFi tether router Works or worked wonders on 4.4.2 kitkat. Bypass upsell... the whole 9

Since lollipop update something drastically has changed the app doesn't work on 5.0.Which I figures until he update the app.

Other then that try an aosp rom or cm rom tether usually works off the bat .
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] neshkoda:
EURICA!

Ok. Here it is. I dont take any credit and lost yhe original link. I was using wifi tether router on 4.4.2 tmobile galaxy s5 stock ROM and it worked great. After updating to lollipop it keeps giving me an error msg. Developer never responded back. I have tried many things and finally got tethering going. Just flush this file in recovery and fire away the native tethered apk. Works like a charm. Not overheating. Battery life is good. Most importantly my hotspot usage shows as ZERO after countless hours of streaming netflix! YAHOO!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] neshkoda:
Yeah, look for the "customer.xml" in system root folder, copy to temp directory. Edit with xml editor and replace ipv6 with ipv4. Make sure you get all of them. Then just move file back and replace the original. Btw, make a back up first. Then go to your network settings and "load the default". reboot. Now you are running ipv4.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] gilbnx:
neshkoda, Thanks for the file. I've installed it and it seems that tethering works OK (so far no increase in the hotspot count at T-mobile) but I'm facing an issue that might / might-not be related... I am now cannot update apps from google store through 4G even though internet is available and I can even browse the store; download of apps will not work and I get "waiting for network" message. It will only work if I'm enabling WiFi (of course when tethering is off). Can you download apps via 4G/LTE?

Thanks,

Gil.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] neshkoda:
Try hard reset, take your nattery out for a minute, then delete Dalvik in recovery. After that set your Hotspot to transmit in 5ghz frequency. That will get you back on. I can update everything no problem. Make sure you are on stock rom though. This is not for custom rom or kernels
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] gilbnx:
I did a a Dalvik and normal cache cleanup. I also did not see initially the 5Ghz settings but this time around I've also set that one. Seems to work now. Thanks!

I have an annoying boot-loop (probably a different issue all together). When the device comes up and I can see the home screen, it will reboot itself after 5 sec. or so. The only way to get out of the loop is to put the device in an airplane mode (in those 5 sec. I have) and then I can break the loop. I can turn off airplane mode after it was fully booted and stable and the phone will work... very strange (but yes, probably unrelated).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] neshkoda:
The new lollipop on galaxy s5 g900t seems to favor TWRP RECOVERY, not Clockworkmod. Make sure that boot strap flash is the most current one. Yeah, those issues are totally unrelated. The teather patch has to do with ipv6 headers where your problem is corrupted system.ui sounds like. The patch is runni g strong for 10 days now. 45GB thought tether and it does not draw from the hotspot. I really like the native apk.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] gilbnx:
Thanks for the tip but unfortunately, switching to TWRP did not solve the problem. If my SGS5 is not in Airplane mode, the device will reboot itself after 5-10 seconds. Once it's in plane mode, it will reboot and will stay on, then I can turn off plane mode. Weird...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] neshkoda:
Did you ever figured out why your phone was akring up. My patch is still running strong.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] gilbnx:
Unfortunately I did not find a solution.. I just used to put it in airplane mode before every restart.. I moved to SGS6 edge and didn't pursue this further..

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechxCentral:
I have had my S5 for two days now. I haven't done any modifications to it and have kept it completing stock. I was browsing the internet in Chrome when I got a notification saying there was a security breach and that the phone needed to restart in order to undue any changes made. So I pressed the restart button and it started to restart normally until I saw in tiny blue text "RECOVERY BOOTING....", I didn't think much of it until nothing started to happen after a minute. I let it go for another 5 minutes and then 15 minutes. I came back and still it was at the same screen. I decided to turn the device off and on to see if that would do anything, nothing happened. I took the battery out and waited a few minutes to put it back in, again nothing new. I was looking into other threads about this happening to other phones because the S5 is so new there is nothing on it doing this. But I found no useful information. So my question is, how can I fix this? I don't mind having to reset it, there's only a few apps installed. I'm tech savvy, so I'll now what you mean if you give me any tips. Thank you! :confused:
