[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] quagman:
I flashed the zip using TWRP onto stock 6.0.1, no error messages. On booting, my phone now gives the red "Kernel is not seandroid enforcing" but the phone boots up fine and the hotspot works. Any reason to be concerned?

No, but I will add an update to stop the boot warning.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] 1619415:
Did you update to the latest TWRP that we released? If so, we updated the kernel inside of TWRP (which BTW is the issue with the official TWRP, the kernel in it has to be updated to support MM)

Interestingly, I have not updated to the latest TWRP. I'm still using 3.0.0-1.

Question on downloads

Ok, so i just rooted my galaxy s6 running on stock 6.0.1. Which file should i download to flash for the hotspot? im still kinda new to all of this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] tdhite:
If you are running stock ROM, grab the one with init.d support.

Now, better yet -- wait 'til tomorrow. An update is coming. You'll want it. :)

Updated -- July 02, 2016

As the post title notes, an update was uploaded. This case is specifically for the ROMs that do not have init.d support already (e.g., Stock roms, or older ROMs that failed to add init.d support).

Note that many recent custom ROMs have init.d support, also TeamSPR v3.x all include this facility inherently so no need to flash over that particular ROM.

The download link is updated in the OP.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] The Android Attorney:
just tried both versions of the zip, none give me the toggle. Any help please?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] tdhite:
Sure, will take a look. By toggle, are you suggesting you have no settings option for hotspot?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] The Android Attorney:
I mean in the quickpanel toggle. You mentioned in my thread that it was currently working for sprint.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] tdhite:
Ah. That is not addressed by this flash. The toggle to which I referred is the on/off toggle in settings. See attached image.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] The Android Attorney:
Oh i see. Is that normally missing without the flash?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] tdhite:
It is always there, assuming your rom is right. It's just tethering does not work by default, so even if you turned it on it would not work as expected unless your ROM includes the scripts in this flash or some other means.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] elesbb:
Tdhite, still not working when on 3g. I found a root method that works, but takes forever for the ap to setup. I think I could live with it but prefer native. I'll do a little digging in my free time. I think there's actually a service running or something that's causing it not to work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] elesbb:
So I got it to work with an xposed module. But, I noticed when connected to 3G, under settings mobile networks, APN, nothing shows as being selected. I wonder if this is why it sucks switching from LTE to 3G all the time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] elesbb:
Yes. I actually have experienced the opposite lol. In my bedroom, on my bed, I normally had ONLY 3G, now its staying on LTE more. BUT! Changing from 3G to LTE literally causes me to have ZERO data. Very annoying. Its also quite annoying that they changed the WiFi AP permissions, so now 3rd party apps can't enable native tethering cause the app gets denied "WRITE_SETTINGS" permission. Looks like I have to make an exposed module now. Ugh. Really Google?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Rommel88mm:
I am having a bit of a problem with this. After installing the hotspot works fine. But my problem is I can't change any of the APN settings through SQL Lite. I'm trying to change it from IPV4V6 to just IPV4 so I can use the modded Playstation Remote app. When trying to change it, SQL lite gives me an error saying "update failed - unable to open database file (code 1294)"

View attachment 3860324
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Rommel88mm:
I can't do that, I have a sprint phone. With the MM update they locked editing the APN through the ##data# menu.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Rommel88mm:
How do I go about doing that? The way I was able to do it before was to go into ##data, hit edit, enter my MSL, then edit the APN settings. After the MM update, the APN settings are disappeared. Unless there is a way to force them back to be able to be edited.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Rommel88mm:
Yes! That did it. I tried several other Lolipop and OK3 HiddenMenu.apk's and yours is the only one that worked. So after I do the changes, should I revert back to the old HiddenMenu.apk?

Hi -- honestly I'm not sure what you are asking -- SkyHigh is my port for a kernel, which frankly has nothing to do with this hotspot thread.

As for your phone -- did you back it up? Or just shoot and hope on a flash?

I think you should take the time to ready carefully how to load custom ROMs and kernels on your phone before you delve much further.

Hey there...got Hotspot working. One thing is that im not able to access most websites. Netflix works but any other sites say it cant find the dns...any suggestions?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] spacer89:
No..not that i am aware of..it works if i usb teather but not with the wifi Hotspot
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] tdhite:
Hotspot does nothing related to DNS, so that you cannot reach sites is not likely that. All hotspot does is NATs your tethered connections to the actual LTE interface (meaning, you are 'masqueraded' by the hotspot to appear as if emenating from the phone directly).

So, if you can browse with your phone properly while another device is tethered, it is the device you tethered messing with its own DNS or similar when you are Wifi connected.

Need a bit more info, like what OS is the tethered device, and what are its DNS (in fact all network) settings once tethered?

Successfully flashed OP's zip file with TWRP

However,

no hotspot togle nor menu seen (as expected from reading the thread), and connection is made without internet.

No file found under data/local/tmp for me to post for debugging

No errors seen during flashing

Al though connection is made with my s6- the s6 device says there is no connection made

SM-G920P MM, stock . i dont know if this matters but im a Sprint phone/simunlocked/using a T-mobile sim
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] tdhite:
Hmm. This flash does not attempt to *add* a hotspot menu, it fixes the underlying telephony settings to allow hotspot. If your ROM does not support the hotspot menu, you need to get with the ROM developer to see if they can fix the menus.

You can also try to implement the menu addition as described in this post: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70389385&postcount=544

I will try to incorporate that into this flash set, though not all phones have that specific property.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] tdhite:
Updated -- Feb. 04, 2017

Updated all flashes to version 4 (-v4). They now attempt to add a quick setting tile for hotspot. It will place the tile immediately after the Wifi tile, if it exists, or will prepend the hotspot option as the first tile in the quick settings.

The downloads are in the OP. If you are using my TDH-JR ROM, it is fine to flash the hotspot-v4.zip file (the one for ROMS that *ALREADY* have built-in init.d support). Generally, most custom ROMs are of this type and you should not flash the larger hotspot fix flash (generally called hotspot-busybox-initd-v4.zip or similar) because you will end up running init.d scripts twice (once from your ROM setup and once from the init.d support that the full hotspot flash injects into your boot image.

Also, ALWAYS READ THE DISCLAIMER.

Any idea if this will still work for Nougat?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] tdhite:
Updated -- Arp. 23, 2017 (Added Support for Nougat)

Updated all flashes to version 5 (-v5). This is specifically for Nougat support.

The downloads are in the OP.

As is good hygiene -- ALWAYS READ THE DISCLAIMER.

If you already flashed v4 onto Nougat, go ahead and just flash the hotspot-v5.zip regardless of which you originally installed. It will just fixup the init.d files anyway -- so the init.d support won't be removed or touched.

:cowboy:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] bmlzootown:
Running Nougat, stock and rooted (Magisk), at the moment. I originally flashed v4, and then v5 (as stated in the above post) this morning, and am now having the Hotspot Error popup every single time I toggle it. Even went back and reflashed the busybox/init.d version as suggested in an earlier post here, but the error still shows.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

(Also, the thread title still mentions v4. Might want to bump that up to v5.)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] tdhite:
[ZIP] [FLASHABLE] [ROOT] [04-23-2017] (Re)Enable Hotspot (Stock or Custom) [v4]

Thanks for the title comment, will fix that.

There appears to be a bug in how the service is (not) starting for init.d processing at boot time. This also raises a bug in my test harness :(.

For now, just type the following in a command (terminal) prompt on your phone:

su
/system/xbin/run-parts /system/etc/init.d/

Then restart your phone. That should fix you up.

I will fix up the service initiation soon. Apologies for that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] tdhite:
Updated the init.d supporting flash (hotspot-busybox-initd-v6.zip). This is specifically for Nougat support, also still supports MM ROMs. I also deleted v5 of the file above from the downloads as it was not properly handling SELinux security requirements, thus failing to update one of the important properties to make hotspot work.

This release also cleans up the Ramdisk of all prior hotspot fix entries from my flashes so you are clean and fresh. Future releases do not need to modify the Ramdisk at all, init.d support is provided by a different init import mechanism than requiring files form the Ramdisk. This should make life much easier for ROM developers as well.

The downloads are in the OP.

As is good hygiene -- ALWAYS READ THE DISCLAIMER.

If you already flashed hotspot-busybox-initd-v4 or hotspot-busybox-initd-v5, please flash hotspot-busybox-initd-v6.zip regardless of which version you originally installed. As mentioned above, v6 cleans out old revs and removes ramdisk modifications.

Please let me know how it goes -- Nougat (from Samsung) has very good SELinux rules, so difficult to overcome the deep security built in to Android in this case.

[MENTION=4988866]tdhite[/MENTION], I'm having the same issue on the new Bigdaddy nougat rom. Clean installed rom, flashed hotspot v.5 with no luck, flashed hotspot v.6 after reading it would clean everything up, wiped ART and cache, hotspot didn't work but the tile is in the pull down.

I uninstalled magisk using the link in the bd nougat thread and odined cf-autoroot and it works now. I hope this helps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] tdhite:
Got it. Makes perfect sense. Magisk is not using the same SELinux model as is SuperSU, therefore the boot scripts are getting denied execute permissions to modify the telephony properties and database. Very frustrating (magisk incompatibilities abound). I'll look at detecting that at flash time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] Bageland2000:
Can you explain how to do this in more basic terms, please?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] gargleblarg:
This link is for the magisk uninstaller:

https://mega.nz/#!b0AzCIjL!PI0kGxrv3DsKLRoRICWZtwqI04Q9UshOImCPEzv25-Y

This link is for cf-autoroot for the Galaxy S6, the zip contains Odin and the autoroot file. Unzip this on a Windows computer:

https://download.chainfire.eu/785/C...Auto-Root-zerofltespr-zerofltespr-smg920p.zip

Flash the Magisk uninstaller in recovery

Restart phone to download mode

Open Odin on your computer

Connect your phone to your computer via USB

Click the button on Odin that says AP and find the cf-autoroot file

Click start, your phone will restart a few times

Once it boots you'll have the SuperSU app to manage root access

You might still see the Magisk app, you can uninstall it like any other app at this point

If you have any questions about this process please pm me.

Root is good, but I still don't see a hot spot tile or anything in the settings. I do however see "GSM" next to my signal indicator where I used to only see LTE/3G and I have no phone data.

I should mention that I'm on the Sprint phone variant, but using T-Mobile's network. Should this still work?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] gargleblarg:
The tile should be in the extended pull down menu (swipe down twice) and in the settings menu under mobile hotspot and tethering (this one is there stock even without a subscription for the hotspot feature).

I don't know anything about radio systems, I just tinker.
