Ya but this is how to use the native(built in) usb and wifi tethering for free.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] uknow:
I tried this and it said flash failed
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] idone:
That's because there is nothing to flash. This is how to add the value that is checked to see if subscribed to hotspot service, it is not patched binaries like other "hotspot mods"

If you have root you can use my one click app located in the themes and apps subforums instead of doing it manually.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] uknow:
Ok thank you lol got confused for a sec
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Androidwarrior:
Is there a way to it stick after a profile update?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] idone:
Profile update will disable it(unless you are actually paying sprint for the service, in that case the profile update would do what my app does and enable it)

Run galaxy tools after a profile update and enable it again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] v1c70r80:
Update to 4.4.4 Kit Kat

I've update to 4.4.4 and now I can't edit APN settings is there another way of doing this or how to unlock APN setting? I've tried Galaxy Tools but that didn't work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] idone:
Hey make sure su binary version is 2.02

Use galaxy tools to enable then reboot.

If you rather edit apn manually on 4.4.4 change sales code to XAS and reboot... apns are now editable.

Good luck!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DAvid_B:
My unrooted phone kept the settings after the 4.4.4 upgrage.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] idone:
It will persist untill you either wipe data, hfa, or do a profile update.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] wmichladiesman:
My phone notified me of a profile update yesterday and now I am unable to get the hotspot to work. I edited the apns again and I can click on the hotspot button, but it never appears in the top bar as being on and it is not showing up on other devices. It says I have Android 4.4.2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] idone:
Hi,

Go use my app to enable it http://xdaforums.com/note-3-sprint/themes-apps/app-one-click-hotspot-enabler-menus-t2816159

Wait for "Hotspot Enabled!!" toast and then reboot. Make sure in settings>connections>more networks that your mobile network type is cdma/lte/evdo and look in your apns to be sure either of the 2 internet apns are selected.

Now try turning on hotspot again.

And it is odd you report neither hotspot notification nor subscription error shows up. When you go to turn it on it should give you one or the other.

You are not using an airave are you?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] uknow:
Hey idone will you add support for Verizon s3?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] idone:
If you have one on hand I wouldn't mind trying for you. pm me and we can go from there ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] wmichladiesman:
Thank you for the response. Apparently I also changed the network mode to automatic at some point and did not realize that would cause a problem. I have not rooted the phone, so I am guessing the app would not work anyway. I did get it working following the the changes.

Any idea how to do this on a Sprint Galaxy S5 without root?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] idone:
On current s3 and note 3 msl no longer opens apns editable (I don't have an s5 to see if the same was done)

To bypass this you need root to change sales code, but if you have root you might as well use the app.

Either way if msl no longer opens your s5's apns, root will be needed to enable hotspot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Boostinvr4:
I didn't see a message sent in my messages so I'll try and send this again. I apologize if you see this twice. Hello, a few months ago I used your native hotspot unlock thread on my note 3, I cant thank you enough for all the free internet!! The problem I'm having now is that on my ps4 it says my internet is NAT type 3 which limits some of my online gameplay. I made a thread about this issue and someone proposed I root the phone and try and go into the router settings. If I do this will your hotspot unlock still work? Here is the thread I'm referencing. If you could help me out I'd appreciate it alot!!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] idone:
Go get my app GalaxyTools, they block apn editing now, my app will enable hotspot in 1 click and can also unlock apn editing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DAvid_B:
Galaxytools doesn't seem to work to enable the built in hotspot anymore.

You can turn it on, but no devices can connect. They see the hotspot but that's it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] idone:
That doesn't have anything to do with my app enabling it, that's purely a settings/config issue with the phone.

Mess with your hotspot config and advanced settings and you'll get it working.

If you don't get the subscription nag popup it is for sure activated, now just play with it's config/settings. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DAvid_B:
Yes, it still enables it but they must have made another change to how it works. It worked before the last update. I did make it work, but would rather not tell samsung how.. lol Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] idone:
Works on all official stock roms, even the latest for every device.. and they haven't changed anything at all. Which official rom are you on and how did you update to it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] DAvid_B:

I was able to add dun and get hotspot without root.

I already had my msl number. The spcutility app doesn't seem to work anymore. Does anyone know of a way (other than calling/chatting Sprint) to get msl so I can do this for a couple friends that are skeered to root?

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Mechayoshi:
Hey, the msl utility doesn't work anymore on lollipop. Is there any other way to get the APN?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] FreddyFredFred:
I kept telling my friend that wanted me to add his hotspot to call sprint to get his msl.

He finally did today. He told them he was planning on selling his phone and wanted to be able to unlock it in case the buyer was in another country.

They advised him that he was still under contract. He said he wouldn't be cancelling his service, just changing phones.

They gave him his msl without hesitation.

I added ,dun for him on each of his apn's and successfully activated his hotspot without root. Oh, his phone is an s5 running 5.0.

N900PVPUEOK2

SM-N900P

This worked for me tonight. I was rooted with old android with towelroot but I couldn't wait any more had to upgrade. I always used 'wifi tether router' which is a great app btw. After upgrade I tried this because I'm far too stupid to root my device again.

Worked like a charm. The location is bit different. Once inside data menu and 'edit' I then went to 'APN Settings' >> then into LTE and EHRPD individually and changed the 'APN Type' field.. adding ,dun to each so it reads default,mms,dun

Worked great native hotspot popped right on, tested with my tablet seems to be working good.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dins93:
what method did you use to root to n900pvpueok2 ???

I'm wanting to update - my phone is currently rooted using twrp using odin on NK4.

i don't want to lose the ability to use my external card for my spotify playlists (i'm a heavy spotify user) and the hotspot is NICE but i don't use it terribly often - i would be sad - to lose it - but not a deal breaker. thanks you :)

How do I get hotspot to work on my sprint samsung galaxy note 3 with out pay for the hot spot ...could someone plase help me
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] jimzweb1:
Is your note 3 rooted ? What OS are you running i.e. NC5, NH7, NK4 (KitKat) or OC5, OH1, OK2, (lollipop) ?

First I will assume your device is not rooted hstinson considering that is your first post. I will try to keep the instructions simple.

The first thing you need is the MSL you could try calling sprint and see if they will give it to you, (50/50 chance of that happening) or here is a link to get your MSL https://mega.nz/#!tcIl3byb

Download the apk file to your PC desktop, plug you charging cable into the USB on your PC .

Copy and paste the apk file the internal storage of the device. Now go to the play store and download a file manager like ES File Explorer.

Open the file explorer and find the internal storage on the device then find the apk and click on it and install it.

Run the apk and it will give a six digit number might say spc or msl basically the same thing. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe.

Now type in ##data# on the devices dialer keypad. A new page will come up called DATA, click on Edit. A new page will come up now type in your MSL. A new page will come up click on More. A new page will come up click on LTE APN settings. A new page will come up click on APN2 LTE internet. Scroll down to APN type, click on it and add ",dun" no spaces click ok. Now click the back button go back to APNs and click on APN2 EHRPD internet, again find APN type and add ",dun" to it. Click back make sure APN2 LTE internet is still checked, then click the back button till you are on the home page. Ok hotspot should now work, if it doesn't try rebooting the device.

Updated July 23, 2014. The recovery only for Stock JB 4.1, 4.2

The New Installer is for Windows OS.

Please Set USB debug "ON" in phone and adb driver is already installed in Windows OS and of course Full root.

Link download:

New info:

And always read the last 10 post.

Requirement:

Must be full root

Quick Installation:

Download and extract the installer on your windows pc - http://d-h.st/QsQ

Open or click twice install.bat

Follow instruction on screen.

Don't forget to allow the pc, to access adb on the phone.

And allow adb shell in superSU.

How to boot the recovery:

Whatever which the recovery you use. Here the way.

Power off the phone. And then turn it on.

Wait until the pink LED is shown.

Press the vol up button, 1 second after the pink LED is shown.

Then the phone should boot to the recovery.

Mini FAQ:

Q: the phone not shown the pink LED

A: please check this files are in the right folder/directory.

/system/xbin/busybox

/system/bin/recovery.tar

/system/bin/recovery.sh

and this's script type file /system/bin/e2fsck

the original file is renamed to /system/bin/e2fsck.bin
[Sony Xperia M] Naufal Sidik:
This method is for PhilZ Touch or Stock CWM 6.0.4.9? I see in this thread.. Can we try this to Xperia M Dual? Because XMD have PhilZ Recovery now.. Thanks in advance..

Sorry For My Bad English :fingers-crossed:
[Sony Xperia M] gamer649:
Maybe the problem of it not running stems from /mnt/idd and /SDCard (External), I'm suggesting this because I cannot find them on the partion listing of my device. Or maybe that's just me being an idiot.

Just been looking through the init.qcom.sh file in the recovery.tar folder and I have found it asks for "baseband='cat ro.baseband'", however the closest I can get to that is ro.si.version.sw_revision.

Have you changed the mountpoints about accordingly in the .fstab files in the recovery.tar /etc/ folder? That could also be another reason.

Also, take a look at the default.prop in the recovery.tar folder, that has all the Xperia L specs and stuff in it.
[Sony Xperia M] ndrancs:
The file in attachment is stock CWM 6.0.4.9 XMS.

Of course we can port it to XMD, but now the method isnt working.

In near future maybe we can have both rec. like Xperia L, now have stock cwm and philz.

Okey Sip :)
[Sony Xperia M] ndrancs:
Hi Bro.

I thinks its only output some error if the partition is not found, and continue the batch process anyway.

I was compared the init.qcom.sh file with same file from Xperia L,and i found the different only in line like this

from xperia m cwm
chmod -h 775 /data/system/sensors

from cwm xperia L
chmod 775 /data/system/sensors

and some more line contain chmod command

In Linux "chmod -h" mean will print the help page of that command.

Please let me clear this, the recovery.tar file is taken from stock CWM for xperia M single, not from xperia L.

And of course the mountpoint is correct according to partition in xperia M.

And about the default.prop file its same with stock cwm for xperia M, please take alook into it.

Thanks for your reply :)

Note:

I must clear its, the recovery.tar file is taken from Working CWM that currently used by many kernel for xperia M single.

Btw i do this project is for users who have locked bootlader permanently, and of course not all user adb friendly.

[Sony Xperia M] gamer649:
Just had a look at the files you have attached and I think it is the .fstab files what need editing properly to get it into a bootable state. However I am unsure so don't assume I am right.

Yes i know that bro. My phone is bootloader unlock allowed: no
[Sony Xperia M] gamer649:
Just had a look to the default.prop file in the recovery.rar you have attached in the first post. I am correct in assuming that this recovery was extracted from the Pac ROM? The default.prop has a lot of values relating to that in it. That may be another issue.
[Sony Xperia M] ndrancs:
Here the original link and thread for the recovery.

IMG:

CWM

Original Thread

Yes maybe but i found this line in the default.prop file.

ro.pacstats.url=http://stats.pac-rom.com
ro.pacstats.name=PAC-man

Any suggestion ?
[Sony Xperia M] gamer649:
1) Remove all unique properties to Pac ROM & any other custom ROM information.

2) Remove any values to the properties what contain Pac ROM and custom ROM values (possibly populating them with stock values?).

3) Get the original default.prop from the firmware we want to use and insert that into the recovery.tar instead (I don't think this will work as the one I found on my device is hardly populated).

If anything a mixture of all three may be appropriate.
[Sony Xperia M] ndrancs:
Have try it but still no luck, its just display sony logo, and then reboot after a few minutes.
[Sony Xperia M] gamer649:
Does it boot at all? If it still boots at least that's something.
[Sony Xperia M] JustArchi:
You're asking for troubles guys.

First of all, correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not experienced with fastboot yet. You have root and rom with busybox, regardless if stock or not. Isn't it possible to simply just flash proper boot.img in kernel block? Bootloader is required to use fastboot and flash unsigned images, by using root in the ROM you're not touching bootloader at all. And including custom recovery in stock boot.img is pretty damn easy.

Second thing, you're trying to do potentially dangerous thing. Dangerous as hell, this can lead to pretty serious filesystem corruptions, as lazy unmounting (umount -l) is never safe. I have knowledge about what you're trying to do, as I included pocket debian in my ArchiDroid since ages and it also uses chroot capability, but it extends android, not trying to hack it and run remote code. Killing services, unmounting filesystems and patching things is not proper thing to do.
[Sony Xperia M] ndrancs:
I have added a debug code to e2fsck.sh and recovery.sh, just to make sure all command are execute and see the output if there something wrong.

The result of e2fsck.sh is there not something wrong its just run as is must.

And same with recovery.sh it run ok to the end off the script, chroot command.

After chroot command i cant make the log.

Maybe this recovery will run on stock JB 4.2 like in Xperia L.
[Sony Xperia M] ndrancs:
Please... read my OP carefully.

I see [MENTION=4736004]Rachit Rawat[/MENTION] and @[Nut} have successfully add recovery to stock rom Jb 4.2 for xperia L and Xperia Z too with locked bootloader condition.

May i try to explain, with this method we just hijack the boot process of stock kernel, stock ramdisk to boot our custom boot script to launch the recovery. just like that. and about the unmout -l (lazy unmout) its to unmount every mountpoint that was mounted by original ramdisk so before the recovery launch its clean from mountpoint of original ramdisk.
