[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ARMSEY:
Please help I'm a bit stuck!

I have just rooted my LG G2 and tried to install cyanogenmod. It hasn't went too well. I now have a lg g2 (international) working with cyanogenmod 12 but have not yet installed the Google Apps, so no store etc.

BUT

I have also tried to update TWRP to a newer version. Now when I try and boot phone in recovery mode, it is soft bricked.

I can then turn the phone back on and it appears to be working fine; but I cannot download any apps (which I can think of) to help my flash back to a version of TWRP that will work as I do not have the GooglePlay Store.

I would be happy to get back to the default bootloader, or any other bootloader so that I can install Google Apps.

Please help!!!!

Thank you.

When I try to enter TWRP the screen is black with very small writing in the top left corner -

[7170] Fastboot mode started

I just got a new SAMSUNG-SM-G935A

I've been looking for ways to get the mobile hotspot active due to me having unlimited data on AT&T ( US ). To no prevail just like everyone I realize that at&t has block almost every possible way to use the mobile hotspot with unlimited data and it looks like a decent reliable root is going to keep changing as exploits are closed.

But....

I stumbled on this glich so I had to share.

1. Turn your wifi on your S7 edge

2. Connect to a WiFi ( doesn't matter if it has Internet access or not )

3. Once connected Turn on your mobile hotspot

4. Now connect the device your wanting to use. ( I used my Xbox ) ( I had to go into my network setting on my Xbox and configure a new connection)

5. Let the device run what ever tests it needs to run. ( I got an error msg stating that I was connected to the internet but connectivity may be interrupted and that Xbox live services maybe slow on multiplayer games)

Just hit ok

6. Now once you've connected, go to " mobile hotspot and tethering " click on "Mobile Hotspot" then in the top right hand corner click on "more". In the pull down menu click WiFi sharing click " WiFi Sharing Off "

7. Don't clear any notifications, And don't click the set up device.

Just hit the home button and enjoy your device connected thru your At&t SAMSUNG-SM-G935A on unlimited data.

Hope this helps.

Just remember att has technologies to sense this. After a month or so, you will receive an email notifying you of violating your terms of agreement, effectively booting you off unlimited if you continue on. This happens because you violate that agreement and not you or them are bound.

Have you used PDAnet/Foxfi? They're a little expensive but worked on my S6, and they supposedly try to hide the fact that you're tethering.. at&t will always know based on deep packet inspection & TTL hops, but I have a feeling they stopped the 'tetherer witch hunt' now that so many people are on mobile share
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] Clienterror:
Pretty much unless you've been cought before or after using an insane amount of data (like 100gb plus) a month they won't bother looking at you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] psufan5:
Use a VPN on the client machine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] sandman7793:
What does a VPN have to do with the amount of data your using? VPN will create a secure connection, but it won't make your data usage magically disappear.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] psufan5:
Because the tech they use to tell you are tethering is packet sniffing. If you mask the data, you can tether until your heart is content or you run out of data. I said nothing about amount of data being used, only to mask that your computer is using it and not your phone. The concern was being booted off for tethering on an unlimited data plan. Using a VPN on each client machine will prevent them from knowing you are tethering. They will not boot you off the network for using lots of data.

Hi:

I have an AT&T Galaxy S7 Edge. Once I turn on Wifi and connect to any network, as per your instructions, I go to mobile hotspot to turn it on but I get a message saying: "Mobile Hotspot will turn off Wifi, hit cancel or ok." Then after wifi turns off I get this other message: "Mobile hotspot is unavailable. To enable mobile hotspot on this device, go to att.com/mywireless or dail 611."

And It won't let me continue.

Why does the we need to turn the sharing on, then off? Will it allow multiple devices to connect? Will it timeout and turn off?

Thanks, :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] Rolldog:
I have the unlimited plan also, but I previously had a mobile share plan, which had a hotspot on the plan so I had to put it on a totally separate plan from my phones with unlimited data.

I remember years ago, AT&T required you to pay an additional fee in be able to use your phone as a hotspot. Since I wanted to use my phone as a hotspot, but didn't use it enough to justify an extra fee, I found an app called FoxFi, which allowed me to override AT&T's rules and turn my phone into a hotspot without having AT&T enable the hotspot feature and without having to pay an additional fee. I'm not sure if this app still works, but it might be worth looking into.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] cstayton:
Over the years I have seen many many many posts about AT&T going on a rampage over tethering on unlimited plans however, to date I have not heard any reports of them actually blocking or sending any emails or notices about violating terms of service. I have been an AT&T wireless customer since the beginning of time (or so I'm told, LOL) and have tethered many times sometimes exceeding 20-30gb in a month depending on if I'm traveling for work or not and have never been admonished for violating any terms of service. now maybe I'm the lucky one or the exception to the rule who knows.

Now add to this that the FCC controls the airwaves and their use not AT&T or any other carrier for that mater and that a few years ago a law was passed preventing carriers from blocking or throttling data use based on arbitrary numbers unless it was specifically noted in the users service plan. This same law (Yes i work in the legal field) is pages and pages long and full of legal jargon even I get confused by also prevents the carriers from designating what the device is used for or how it is used as long as it does not violate any state or federal laws.

take this with a grain of salt if you wish.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] sandman7793:
I understand. When I stated this, it was because of experience. They caught me tethering, sending me multiple letters that I would be flipped to a regular data plan.

I'm no longer on unlimited data. I bought a promo plan a few years ago. Now I have 40gb plan for $135. I do know that on March 2nd, the new plans will roll out, which will give unlimited data with tethering.

I have 10 devices, and use 4 of them for work, so I can't be throttled to 2g speed, it would kill me.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] sandman7793:

Nougat Update

Nougat kills the wifi sharing........ therefore the hotspot trick....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] antizombie:
Actually the hotspot trick is working (at least for me) where it didn't in the final builds of MM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] cooltranier13px:
How so?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] antizombie:
Well in a similar fashion to the OP in this thread:

1. Use a package disabler to disable TetheringProvision

2. Connect to a wifi network.

3. Enable hotspot.

4. Turn off wifi.

Hotspot stays enabled. I've tested it a couple of times just today. Only have a PS Vita handy in this room, but the device connects, has internet access, and my router shows my phone as not being connected. So the hotspot stays active without my plan with AT&T allowing for it.

Verdict: Hotspot glitch alive and well in Nougat.

edit: Forgot to include step to disable TetheringProvision.

What I don't understand is why do you need to connect to a wifi network first? If you have already connected to a wifi network, why not connect your other devices to that same wifi network instead of trying to hack the phone's hotspot?

Best way to use hotspot on at&t

There is a way to use the hotspot on at&t unlimited data plan. All u have to do is switch over to the $45 monthly plan for one month so u can actually use ur hotspot legally. While ur hotspot is still turned on call 611 and through the automated service recordings switch ur account back over to the $65 month plan. Don't do this through a actual customer service representative or it won't work. This hits a glitch in the system and allows u to still fully use ur hotspot regularly while on the unlimited data plan. At&t's system will not catch on to it cause as far as their system says ur not using ur hotspot even tho u r. From then on u will have full working hotspot on the unlimited data plan
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] jshamlet:
1) You might want to consider actually using whole words in your sentences. Posts aren't text messages, and even if you are posting from your phone, you have plenty of time.

2) Once you switch away from an unlimited plan, it's gone. No glitch in the system will get it back for you. Even if you did manage to find one, you will always have to worry that they will "fix the glitch"

3) AT&T can tell when you are tethering because Google added a "feature" into the hotspot feature that makes it very easy for carriers to detect. If you haven't gotten a letter, it's because you are either inadvertently within your new plan's limits or you haven't hit the detection threshold yet. That changed happened in Ice Cream Sandwich, and a lot of people got letters after updating.

4) Even if you somehow managed to fool their systems, this will only work if you are on the U firmware anyway, because the AT&T firmware checks prior to turning on the hotspot. If AT&T doesn't think you have that feature, it simply won't turn on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] Jbowen88:
Ok well....1) what's the point in using the full words when it's so much easier to just use the short versions of the word like I was? Either way it gets the point across and is readable. But if it's not readable by someone then their not obviously smart enough to even be on this site.

2) when u switch from the $45/month to the$65/month plan then you will have what they consider unlimited data. Which is actually only 22 gigs high speed!

3) so if you just do it like I said then yes you will hit that glitch and have hotspot with the unlimited data plan, which they say is not allowed.

4) tAnd no AT&T cannot detect that you're using hotspot because I called them one day and according to them and their system I haven't used my hotspot since July of last year, yet I still use it everyday.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] jshamlet:
On point 4, yes, they can. The TTL is altered for data passing through the phone from a tethered device. (There is literally a second virtual network defined, which is why VPN software can't filter a tethered connection while iptables can). Now, it's possible that something you did left a flag on your account that tethering is OK, but trust me, your carrier knows when you are tethering unless you are using an app that specifically hides it.

However, I wasn't talking about detection. The AT&T variant has a process that specifically checks with an AT&T server before turning on the hotspot. It's one of the reasons I switched to U firmware - I got tired of the "mother may I" bull.

[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _newb_:
All right, so I was on NK2, then OG5, and now OK1 for the last month or so.

It was recommended to me to wipe internal storage to resolve a strange issue I was seeing in various ROMs. I also wanted to fix GPS by going back to stock so I could get a good GPS lock and then flash my AOSP ROM again.

So, I downloaded the OK1 full TAR from http://xdaforums.com/note-4-sprint/...-flashable-t3250864/post63868221#post63868221 and flashed it using Odin 3.10.7 from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2711451.

I use JDownloader2, which verifies md5s with the file hosters, when available. AFH has this feature and both checked out. Odin says the flash was a PASS, but now when booting my device, I get the Samsung splash screen, the Sprint animation with a weird staticky 'ting' as the animation transitions to the Spark logo, and it just bootloops.

I've flashed a couple TARs before without issues. Any suggestions?
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samep:
You backed up before you started? I believe you have to wipe data and internal to get TW to boot after being on CM.

To be sure it boots, I suggest wiping those or factory reset with the stock recovery and reboot. If that doesn't allow a boot, flash the stock again.

Definitely do a factory reset, either with stock recovery or TWRP.
