Yeah, flash it again. miked said he is working on modifying the apk so it sticks.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] FlameOut00:
Working great for me also. At first I had problems connecting, but once I reread the thread, I found I missed this step: (IMPORTANT) Must have wifi turned on but not connected to a network when your first start the tethering app and enable hotspot

Corrected that and now getting decent, but not fast speeds: Download 14.88 Mbps Upload 6.45 Mbps
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] studentjunk:
works for me

Thanks. I got it working using a terminal emulator and the instructions. For those that want it to work after updates, you can consider using a third party app. I also needed to instal sqlite3 binary. i found an installer in the play store.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] crusader71:
It seems with the update , they have patched the hotspot fix from Mike. Can anyone else test and see if it is still working?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] miked63017:
I can try to roll back to stock and get the update tomorrow for some testing. Until then can you provide a copy of your telephony.db? The path for the file should be a little further up in the thread.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] crusader71:

Any way to create shortcut (or even better, a widget) on your homescreen to turn the native hotspot on/off?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] crusader71:
drbadass is your hotspot working after update?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] drbadass:
I actually saw this thread just as I was getting ready to update, and decided not to. I don't really care about taking a picture while I'm on the phone.. I do care about tethering, since that's all I have for internet.

I'm assuming there will be some rooted stock roms with tethering fixed popping up in the Dev section soon (?) or at least I hope that'll happen. I'm fine with what I've got until that day comes though.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] crusader71:
Mine works as my reception just sucks at home. I took it out today and tried it and never got any errors. You can give it a try.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] miked63017:
My hotspot is working post update too. Although I set it up manually with sqlite and did not yet try to reflash my zip, just re-rooted and ran the sqlite commands I have in the other thread.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] ToeJullar:
Works perfectly as inteded to. Bypasses sprint subscription (which is a bunch of crap since I pay for unlimited data already).
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] stevedensmore:
Anyone know how to get the data usage statistics to show up in WiFi Tether Router? It's blank next to the words on my Sprint S5.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] tbudke:
If your s5 is rooted with cf-autoroot I'd there any need for this mod?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Ramondel:
This mod and cf-autoroot are two different animals. Cf-Auti Root does what the states, it roots your phone. This mod changes the stock sprint hot spot that normally you have to pay for.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] charlie-n:
WiFi tether router is no longer needed, miked provides a flashable zip to allow the built in tether to work

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] miked63017:
[MENTION=5504801]charlie-n[/MENTION] I have made some updates and provided a second zip that is a newer version, not sure if you want to update OP here too. Basically I added more SQL queries that should enable bluetooth and USB tether(those have not been tested since I don;t use them) and an icon in the notifications bar for the hotspot.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] charlie-n:
I just have a link to your thread in development posted in my OP, can I just flash the new version over the last version, and I'm updating my post to remind people to donate to you if they can..
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] miked63017:
You can flash right over, sry I thought it was a direct link to the D/L. I haven't set anything up for donations yet, maybe when I start pushing out roms :)
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Bazirker:
Dude just flash the zip again, it's not a big deal...
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] eyecon82:
I know it's no big deal. Just curious as to why it's resetting and If there's a way to counter it

Maybe miked can chat with the guy who created it for the s4? I think his handle was crawljr or something

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] timothylockhart:
Is there any way to flash this zip without a custom recovery on a rooted phone? Would flashify work?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] miked63017:
Not sure sorry, if you try maybe you can report back. I know root is needed to manually do it without flashing the zip.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] timothylockhart:
Hmmm thinking of trying it possible brick using flashify or you dont know?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Ramondel:
Dude if you are already rooted why not just use ODIN and put TWRP or Philz recovery.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] miked63017:
The zip doesnt do anything crazy so I doubt you would brick, at least not bricked beyond repair.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] timothylockhart:
No pc for a bit
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] JoeFCaputo113:
Flashify will only work if you have TWRP/CWM.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] eyecon82:
Which recovery is better in your opinion? Philz or twrp?

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Ramondel:
My personal feeling is Philz.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] crawrj:
Yeah I was the one. I don't have the phone and the code on the 5 is different from the 2, 3, 4 or note series. But if I can get a tester, or testers, I am willing to give it a try. You'll need to be on the Deodexed Rom for easier testing. Let me know if anyone is game and I'll put out a test tomorrow. I do like mike's way because it is not dependant on Rom or Os. The way I have always done it is in services.jar. Which means you have to do an odexed and deodexed version. And every time an update comes out you have to update it. You also have to use it on stock roms until devs get it integrated into their roms. But I'll give it a go if anyone is up for testing. There will be minimal risk. I'll create the mod and a restore so if you flash it and it doesn't work or your phone freaks out you can flash the restore from recovery to get right back up.

I asked this in my thread but if anyone is paying for the service and is rooted I would like your help. It may be easy to fix based on a theory of mine.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] miked63017:
If it involves setting a var to 0x0 from 0x1, in the tethering.smali by the dun_required string I am pretty sure it will work. Manually setting to 0 in db makes hotspot work, but the change get reverted. I have a de-odexed services.jar with the change, but am not running a de-odexed rom to test.

**UPDATE**

Attached if anyone is feeling bold, it is from an ND2 system.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] crawrj:
You probably want to do that with NCB. I don't think you have a Deodexed ND2 Rom yet?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] miked63017:
I have one :)

But it hasn't been tested yet, its sitting on my PC will probably have time to test the rom and services.jar tomorrow

:fingers crossed:
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] crawrj:
Yeah I knew you did :). I meant if you wanted other people to test it out for you today.

And if anyone does test it remember to undo the hotspot fix first if you already installed it.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] miked63017:
So my de-odex ND2 is booting, but definitely needs some work. The services.jar thing seems to have work, since it is not prompting me about my subscription. The only problem is that wifi is not working at all ATM on the ND2 de-odex rom. If anybody wants to try it on NCB I made the same change on NCB services.jar and attached here. Remember you need to be on the NCB de-odex rom, and have root to put the file in place. Let me know if anybody tries it and if it works.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] miked63017:
I can now confirm the ND2 one is working, I made the same change to the NCB one so if you are running de-odexed it should work for you on that setup too.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] JoeFCaputo113:
So just flash the unlockhotspot v1.2?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] miked63017:
The jar files are to make the hotspot work without having to flash the zip. They will only work on a de-odexed ROM. You can either use the jar file or the unlockHotpot zip, or both at the same time. But the jars can only be used on a de-odexed ROM.

One benefit to the jar is that you wont have to do anything after a PRL update, it should just continue to work.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] JoeFCaputo113:
Where are the jar files? As that seems much easier... thanks brotha!

But as I said, if I wanted to, I could just flash the unlocHotspot v1.2, correct?

PS- I always run deodexed ROMs haha.

Hey... it was working flawlessly but now when, I turn it on it says it cant connect to data on my phone... but if im not trying to use hotspot then my 3g works... I reflashed.. and nothings changed
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Teeeejay:
I'm having the same issue.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] miked63017:
Not sure guys, this just basically changes the default value for the settings.db. Are you sure you used the jar appropriate for your rom? Also, I know its tedious but if you return to stock and use the original unlockHotspot zip do you have the same issue? Any other mods installed, what baseband etc?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Teeeejay:
I used the zip and no go. Might try the .jars.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] miked63017:
So it was working and suddenly stopped?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Teeeejay:
Never had it working. I'm on R.D.D.T. if that means anything for this.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] miked63017:
I haven't tried it on RDDT but the jar *should* work there.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Teeeejay:
Where do I put the .jar file? I'm a bit lost.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] miked63017:
You replace your current services.jar file with the one provided for your ROM. These are still for testing until they get rolled into a ROM so make sure you make a backup and are comfortable with that fact before you proceed. This is probably a dumb question but you did flash the unlockHotspot zip from a custom recovery after you already installed RDDT right? Did it give any output when it installed?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Teeeejay:
I did unlock hotspot and it says it worked. That's why I'm so confused haha
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] miked63017:
Have to work oncall tonight so cannot flash RDDT tonight, but will test tomorrow. What version are you on?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Teeeejay:
Most current. Can't remember which version it is.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] xXDevOXx:
I did a native hot spot mod running for 1 wk and my network is now showing 3g and not spark. Is this a network issue and not something the root caused.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] miked63017:
There has been some suspicions that either the original mod and/or root is causing the phone to lock in to 3g mainly or worse no service. I have not been able to confirm, I get 4g using the original mod when I am in a 4g area. The services.jar method does not change the APN and if there are service problems related to the original mod they should be alleviated by using the jar method. I am working to create the jar with a flashable zip, and there will most likely be several versions so that it will play nice with other mods like DL booster. Keep your eyes peeled this week as there will likely be multiple updates to OP.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] xXDevOXx:
Ok thanks, guess I'll just have to stay with 3g till then.

Device Limitation

Has anybody else had any issues connecting more than one device at a time with the hotspot modification? Tethering works fine but my phone only allows one device at a time. Is there a fix for this, or does anyone know of any good replacement apps for a rooted phone? I'm in somewhat of a rush for this so any help is appreciated!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] miked63017:
I have not noticed, but have only had more than one device attached on 1 or 2 occasions without issue. Is it possible you have the ACL thing turned on?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] burowyako:
I'm happy to check. Where do I look?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] miked63017:
Does it say Allow all devices to connect under your SSID, like below pic?

Ok I cannot seem to upload the screenshot in the xda app, but it should say that right under your ssid. Attached image
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] burowyako:
The pic didn't come through, but yes, all devices are allowed to access it. Under Configure and Advanced Options, the Maximum Connections setting is only limited to 1.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] miked63017:
Mine lets me select up to 10, try to turn off the hotspot then change configuration while its off.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] burowyako:
Tried it and the options stay the same.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] miked63017:
Weird sry man not sure what's different. I am using the mod I made and the native app. Does/did anybody else have and/or fix this issue?

Are you running the stock Sprint ROM? I'm not sure why I'm having the issue. I have rooted my phone but haven't changes ROM's. For whatever reason, I can't change the value of how many devices can connect to the hotpsot. Tethering is the only reason I rooted my device, so hopefully we can figure this out.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] ajr0312:
I'm also using stock ROM, maybe you had a bad download.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] burowyako:
A bad download of what? The hotspot hack?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] miked63017:
Yes, please let us know the filename of your download.

If we can rule out a bad download I know there is a way to change it via an sqlite editor. I am testing some things and my phone is not currently rooted nor do I remember where off the top of my head. But if you feel comfortable looking for it its either in the main settings db or the telephony settings db. I believe its key was something like wlan_tether_dhcp. Can tell you for sure soon, lets try a re-download and re-flash first though. Make sure you grab the latest version for your rom.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] mike5026:

Is there a reason you don't want to root first?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] burowyako:
Sorry for the late response. The file that I originally flashed can be found at the link below. I installed the 1.3.ND2.Odex file which I assume is the correct file for a rooted phone with the stock Sprint ROM.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=52100317

I just downloaded and flashed the file again but still can't change the value of devices to anything but one.

Where do I find the main settings or telephony db? Hold my hand on this and I'll give you any info that you need. Thank you!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] miked63017:
it should be in one of the following db files:

/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db

/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

You need to open them with a sqlite editor, or sqlite from the cli, the value you are looking for I believe is in the second one(/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db), in the system table, its key is like wifiap_dhcp_max_user I think. If its not there dig around in them a little and you should be able to find it.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] burowyako:
I think I found it. The value of 4 doesn't reflect the value of 10 that I configured the app with, but is this what you're looking for?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] miked63017:
Yeah just checked mine, it doesn't match either. But mine is set to 100. I guess set it to 100 and reboot with your fingers crossed :)
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] burowyako:
The only way to launch the hotspot is through Settings, right? If so, what's interesting is the app shows in the description that only one device is allowed, regardless of what I set it to under Configure. See the attached screenshot. What does yours show?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] miked63017:
Mine says max 10, also if you flashed the latest zip it should include a tile in the notifications are to turn it on. Do you have any other mods indtalled?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] burowyako:
Which zip should I flash? I have the stock Sprint ROM and have only rooted it; no other mods. I saw some different versions of the hotspot files but I wasn't sure if they applied to my phone.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] miked63017:
1.3 odex, not sure which stock you are on ND2 is the latest stock rom at the moment
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] burowyako:
I have the ND2 stock ROM. Forgive me, but what is the NCB version for? I've tried flashing both of them but still have the issue.

My next thought is to wipe the phone. Since I have rooted it, do I wipe it through the recovery or within the OS itself through the normal menu options?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] miked63017:
NCB is the earlier stock rom version. You can wipe from recovery, but will lose your data, I would make a backup first. If you have a backup and the wipe doesn't help at least you would have an easy way to return to the same configuration your at now.
