Been using this tether since the first g3 build, Today I can report it's no longer working.

T-Mobile probably did something on there end. Can't wait for a update from [MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION]
[T-Mobile LG G3] aleks_:
I can confirm this as well. Tethering works but the data I use counts towards my tethering alottment. Darn.

It still works fine for me on 10M. I use it daily with no issues.

Hi there,

I bought my G3 yesterday and updated to 10R. After flashing the prime tether mod and changing the APN as instructed I'm able to tether without it going towards my 5gb limit.

It still increases the high speed data number but tethering stays the same.

Do any of these versions work for unlocked tmobile using att? Aka, have att apn's? Tried the stock and after seeing everything up, realized there was no apn for tmobile. Thought I read a few posts back that unicorn had att apn's.

Another question, how difficult/possible is it to bake att apn into the stock system? Thanks in advance for any help.

Here is a link to the developers site with the correct configurations. Just look for the LG g3 ....also ipv4 will need to be selected (scroll down the page to see this)

[T-Mobile LG G3] rihc55:
I tried those last night but i wasn't able to get an SSID to broadcast.

Interestingly, trying like 10 different setting combinations using wifi tether, native hotspot wouldnt broadcast either (it would just turn itself off and on again)

Since its working for you, there was probably something screwy with my phone/user error.

In any event, i think the process i linked to above works, as well. :)

[T-Mobile LG G3] hypersonicx:
From the looks of it, it looks like T-Mobile is stepping there game in trying to fight rooted devices on hotspot data.

There's a thread on the XDA Networking forums. I have a friend who was using WifiTetherRouter app with his PS3 and as of this month his data started counting twords the hotspot data.

My S6 + WifiTetherRouter + Xbox One still counts twords mobile data.

Have you tried using a VPN to mask the traffic by any chance? That used to work on my LG G2 (Wifi Tether Router + VPN)

I could do that... And have.. And no matter what configuration it WILL NOT WORK, so yeah haha.
[T-Mobile LG G3] 888Plugin8.com:
The 1st of two configurations is what I've used and never had any problems. I have used it on KitKat and lollipop. Both stock Roms and asop and both without problems. You also need to make sure APN is configured correctly (also see below). Hope that helps

[T-Mobile LG G3] goodfellajay:
that app doesn't work on lollipops stock, and if you make a new APN still doesn't work
[T-Mobile LG G3] datawrhsdoc:
I will re-confirm. It definitely doesn't work at all on Lollipop stock.
[T-Mobile LG G3] mjsierra:
He updated that thread and said it didn't work.

My tethering app did the same thing also after screwing around with it. After trying different workarounds I read online, eventually the SSID stopped broadcasting at all. The tether button would switch on, then off, but would never broadcast. Eventually it also started telling me that I didn't have a tethering plan. I flashed back to stock 5 and the native app works again, but I've already reached my limit for the month, so I still can't tether, but I can connect and reach the upsell page
[T-Mobile LG G3] rihc55:
This isnt an ideal solution but it seems to be working:

RussianBears thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3071188

1) create a new APN that's IPV4

2) Start an adb shell: adb shell

In the adb shell, run this command: settings put global tether_dun_required 0

3) Run stock hotspot

4) Use a VPN on the device you connect to your phone (im using private internet access) to mask the data from Tmobile

Back when i had an LG G2, i was able to run the VPN on the phone at the same time as the hotspot was running... this way anything i connected to the hotspot was automatically going through the VPN.. If i connect to private internet access in lolipop with the hotspot open, the hotspot goes soooooooo slow and seems to bypass the vpn (ip address on the connected device is a tmobile ip, and not from the vpn)

Not at all. I tried the wifi tether and couldn't get it to work. Now After i tried Russian Bears method.....I HAVEN'T LOOKED BACK SINCE!!!! (no issues/no worries). I use tor-guard as the vpn. I have and old net-gear router, flashed with DDWRT (client bridge mode) for my Xbox. Thinking about putting another router behind that as and Acess Point (AP). As of now, I just hit 101 Gigs of data and only 2.3 Gigs of Legal Wifi tether (due to setup and test on xbox and such). Trying to hit 300gigs before the 24th of the month, So if you need help let me know. The guys here are extremely helpful so just ask.

Yes i do see a slow down in speed but what i do then is just switch to a different server. With out it (vpn) i was seeing 20 - 25 mb downloads. Now I only see like 12-15 mb.

Im confused.. What does this actually do.. I have 2 giga of high speed data.. If i use this mod i can tether without that 2 gogs running out or slowing down?
[T-Mobile LG G3] TheJesus:
No, this is for those of us that have unlimited data but have no hotspot data or limited amounts of it. This will not bypass your normal data limits, only hotspot data limits.
[T-Mobile LG G3] brolic925t:
No i understand that but will my regular data count as hotspot data if i use this
[T-Mobile LG G3] TheJesus:
No, this bypasses hotspot data tracking. T-Mobile will think it's all just your normal data.
[T-Mobile LG G3] brolic925t:
Oh ok.. Time to upgrade my data ??
[T-Mobile LG G3] TheJesus:
Yeah, but now you only need the unlimited data, you don't need the hotspot data add-on :)

What does this do for me exactly? Give me hotspot access for free? Thanks for the help!
[T-Mobile LG G3] TheJesus:
Yes. It counts towards your normal smartphone data instead of your hotspot data (or bypasses the hotspot check if you don't have tethering).
[T-Mobile LG G3] ashshlay:
This allowed me to use hideninja vpn with ipv4. I didn't want to use the other mod and change everything else to get that option. Also it's nice to tether with vpn now although I never use more than my allotted 3gb for hotspot as I typically use my unlimited on phone watch and do everything.

Thanks for the mod!
[T-Mobile LG G3] Still_living714:
I have 5gb of hot spot data. Currently I am at 25 gb used on my normal data. I use hot spot all the time but it never shows up on my account. I haven't done this mod or any other mod. Will t mobile find out eventually or am I just getting lucky :confused:
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
They might find out someday but I doubt they will back charge. But if they do find out you might get charged overages for that month.

PrimeTether is a tether mod for T-Mobile G3 LG-D851 10C users..

MAKE A "SYSTEM" BACKUP IN TWRP IF YOU WANT TO REVERSE THIS MOD TO TAKE AN OTA UPDATE.

THE OTHER ALTERNATIVE IS FLASHING STOCK TOT OR KDZ FIRMWARE FILE.

1. Download PrimeTether zip to /sdcard/

2. Reboot into TWRP -- Make Nandroid Backup(system/data/neither) -- Install/Flash PrimeTether zip -- Reboot back into System

3. Set APN to IPV4 [Settings/Networks Tab/Tethering & networks/Mobile networks/Access point names/Click APN/Set to IPV4/Back 2x to save* ]

4. Turn On Mobile HotSpot [Settings/Networks Tab/Tethering & networks/Mobile HotSpot/On** ]

*You can leave it on IPV4 or change it back to IPV6 or anything else at any time but it must be V4 if you want to make use of this mod.

**If a box pops up when you enable the hotspot saying "it's the first time you're running this blah blah" click the check box and hit "OK" then back out.. should be the last time you see that box.

**If a "Account Upgrade Required" box pops up when you enable the hotspot click "Later" and try again. Bypass: Rapidly tap the screen right after you turn HotSpot ON during the verification process. :good:

[T-Mobile LG G3] s_special:
Ok, the rapid tapping worked after several attempts. So to get tethering to work I have to do that tapping trick every time? That upgrade notification pops up every time
[T-Mobile LG G3] antawnm26:
Something not right op stated that it would be only needed to do once I would wipe cache/dalvik n reboot and try again
[T-Mobile LG G3] autoprime:
correct, you will have to do the rapid press each time you want to enable the hotspot. you are failing the verification because you have no tethering plan at all. but with this mod.. the rapid press allows even those without a tethering plan to use the hotspot. those with a hotspot plan pass the verification with no issues. hotspot plan or not... anyone using this mod to tether is using their regular mobile data.. not special "tethering data"... so the only limit is how much regular data you have.

as for "only needing to be done once" I think you are referring to the box that says "first use.. blah blah.. yes.. no.." which is a different box than the "account upgrade" box. so.. TWO different boxes. The account upgrade box will always pop up for those that have no tether plan at all(like me)... and will need to do the tap on screen during verification to bypass. Once you bypass verification, everyone has verification but not everyone has to tap on screen, the first time the hotspot is enabled you will see a box asking if you want to read a tutorial. it will keep popping up if you don't check the box and hit OK once. So for those that don't have a tether plan that have to tap to get through.. it gets annoying seeing the "first use tutorial" screen every time you make it through verification so just reminding people how to get rid of it.

and for those that are still not sure what this is doing.. this is a mod to make the built in hotspot option to work for everyone. not everyone has a tether plan. on top of the hotspot now working for everyone it also allows you to tether while using your normal mobile data... so those of you that do have a tether plan, but limited, your tethering is now only limited to how much mobile data you have. This works out well for those with limited tethering but unlimited mobile data... you can now use this mod and the built in tether option and just pull from your unlimited mobile data pool. If you have no tethering plan and 5GB of mobile data.. you can now split that 5GB between normal use and tethering.
[T-Mobile LG G3] flinttownbrown:
Is that check executing upsell.apk? Could that be modified to always return that a tethering plan is provisioned? Or are you already modifying that with the current hack?
[T-Mobile LG G3] motoridersd:
Theoretically, anything is possible. I know there's a part in the Tethering process that looks for a specific apn type to allow things to work, and I think this mod modified the smali code to make it always return a 4 instead of a -1 when using a different APN (and not using dun).

Changing the build.prop to make the phone act as an international modem has the nice side effect of allowing the Hotspot quick button to show up in the notification panel, as well as changing the 4G LTE, 4G, and 2G indicators to 4G, 3G, H+ and E. It also makes the Tethering APN show up in the menu and you can change it to use fast instead of pcweb, but then the hostapd process breaks and needs to be modified and relaunched every time. I had that working with a tasker task and a shell script. If I could modify the smali code to get around the checks, things could work for everyone.

I haven't tried the build.prop mod with this mod, but my guess would be things would break.

The T-Mobile specific APN should not affect you since you are on a different network. This method should work for you. Make a backup, give it a go and let us know :)

[T-Mobile LG G3] DigitalChris602:
Yes, because you are connecting to the regular apn and not the tether apn I believe.
[T-Mobile LG G3] kreeper187:
I did this mod but some how Tmobile saw that I used 32gb and they throttled my hotspot speed. I have unlimited data plan so how can they throttle me if i used this mod?
[T-Mobile LG G3] motoridersd:
You used 32 GB. Did they tell you they throttled you?
[T-Mobile LG G3] kreeper187:
Yea i just got off the chat room with them.
[T-Mobile LG G3] motoridersd:
Did they throttle everything or just the tethering? Tethering more than your alloted bucket is a violation of the T&C so I wouldn't be surprised if they look at the highest volume users and analyze their traffic to make sure it is acceptable.
[T-Mobile LG G3] kreeper187:
Yea they throttled the just the tethering.
[T-Mobile LG G3] motoridersd:
Interesting. What do you do when you tether? What kind of traffic? They usually shouldn't be able to tell if your usage with the fast.t-mobile.com APN is phone generated or not.
