I'm on build NRD90M software version H91010r and when I do this, after the reboot the 0 reverts back to 5. Is there a way to make this work?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] copper7op:
Logged in just to say thanks! I'm in Canada with an unlocked H910. I'd flashed it to a H915 previously for a much better ROM, but it was missing 2 key bands that caused my signal to drop. I flashed back to ATT Rom, but needed hotspot working. Thanks for this!!!

Not sure why, I'm also on NRD90M/H91010R (I just confirmed) and after I made the change, I rebooted just to make sure. My setting stuck....I've changed it back a few times
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] xdamember143:
Will this work on another variant or just att?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] XblackdemonX:
What application did you use to edit the file?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] twistedvip:
I used Solid Explorer to make my changes which stuck. I'm not entirely sure why it wouldn't stick unless perhaps you weren't modifying the file as root? When you make the change, does the 0 stay after you save and then reopen it (without rebooting)?

Well there's I believe two other tutorials for Sprint and Verizon variants which supposedly allow for the same thing. Just on the At&t variant it seemed like this was one of the only ways I was able to get it working. Feel free to try it out and report back here! its not going to have any major impacts if it doesn't work.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] XblackdemonX:
I use Root Explorer. and yes the 0 stays there until I reboot
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] twistedvip:
Maybe you can try to create a script that uses 'sed' that finds and replaces the entitlement's value from 5 to 0, then add that script to init.d which would be run at startup. I'm not entirely sure if that will ensure the change is set when the phone starts up, but it shouldn't hurt to try it out.

You could also just see if maybe changing the value through TWRP might keep it set?

Unfortunately I'm by no means a professional when it comes to dealing with Android, so I'm just running through different ideas.

Now are you also running a stock ROM?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] XblackdemonX:
I'll try TWRP. Yes i'm stock.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] galacticboy2009:
This method doesn't work whatsoever, for me.

I feel like I've tried absolutely everything, but I'm open to suggestions and help.

I'm using an H910 running the 10r software version. (Stock firmware)

Rooted with SuperSU and of course it has TWRP.

Ran the commands in Android Terminal Emulator.

(with root permissions of course)

I've edited the variable in the file mentioned, changed the 5 to 0.

(with several apps, including ES File Explorer, Root File Explorer, Quick Text Editor, etc)

All of which had root permissions.

And I know the file is truly saved, because I can leave the file and open it with a different app and the 5 is still there.

Restarting the phone changes the 5 back to a 0 as soon as the restart is complete.

Trying to start Wi-Fi or Bluetooth or USB tethering after editing the file, also instantly triggers the 0 to turn back into a 5.

There is no noticeable effect on the attempted tethering process. Still says authenticating, still fails in exactly the same way as before.

Is there something I'm missing here, or does this method just.. inexplicably not work for some?

EDIT:

Well, so, it turns out that even though it seemed nearly IMPOSSIBLE to make the manual method work..

Downloading one, simple app, called "Settings Database Editor" (available on the Play Store) completely fixed my woes.

The app essentially lists all the variables/strings from the system settings, secure settings, and global settings files.

All it takes is ticking the "system" bubble, scrolling down to the tether_entitlement_check_state, and changing the value from 5 to 0 or -1.

As long as you keep the app installed, tethering will work flawlessly. Even through restarts. It seems to re-edit the system settings file every time you reboot, silently in the background.

(I assume this, since after uninstalling the app and restarting, tethering no longer worked)

This is what this tutorial should be, in my opinion. Usage of this app.

Oh and the crazy thing is.. it doesn't seem like.. the app requires root.

I rooted my phone mostly in order to get native tethering to work (I'm on Straight Talk so, there's no way to make it work, no option for me to pay for it)

But it turns out, even if I hadn't rooted it, it might have still worked this well? If I'm understanding this correctly.

Because, I never gave Settings Database Editor any root permissions. I checked SuperSU to be sure, and that confirmed it.

If anyone else is having trouble and wants to try the app, here's the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=by4a.setedit22

If you don't have the Play Store, just paste the above link into the box on this website, for a safe and secure APK: https://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] XblackdemonX:
Same issue here. How to get this automated on reboot?

EDIT: Confirmed that settings put global tether_dun_required 0 needs to be re-entered manually after every reboot.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] twistedvip:
You could always try to put the following fields in your build.prop:

net.tether_dun_required=0

net.tethering.noprovisioning=1

[MENTION=5957402]galacticboy2009[/MENTION] did that actually persist for you permanently? I've tried using that app as well as several others and it never worked for me. If it did then awesome, thanks for sharing another way for those that are having issues otherwise.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] galacticboy2009:
Yes, it has persisted so far, for me.

Uninstalling the app causes it to no longer persist, though.

I tried using the app on some of my friend's various LG smartphones (one was an LG V10 and I'm not sure what the other was) and their System settings file didn't contain the tether entitlement string, even after attempting to tether. (so it isn't some magical solution for all LG phones or something)

But for me, it works great, and completely solves the issue. Doing it the regular/manual way did not work for me, so I'm glad this works.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] DeeJay1993:
Would this work on the h918 TMobile variant? I have it but with an unlimited MetroPCS service, but it was a special promo that took away tethering because we got unlimited LTE data at $25 a month.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] XblackdemonX:
Sadly it doesn't work.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] TechBoy_CJ:
This worked for me!! Thanks alot Galactic for sharing
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] galacticboy2009:
Anytime TechBoy, glad it worked for someone else!

Not sure what causes the original method not to work for some, but at least we have this.

Hotspots for all!
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] krish75:
Hello everyone i need some help i have the LG v20 from AT&T LG-H910 unlock. its a great phone, the problem is that it wont let me use hotspot it show.

authentication was unsuccessful.

There is a temporary network problem that prevents the enablement of the mobile hotspot function. please retry later

Anyway around this, any help is greatly appreciated thanks.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jogg3r:
Man. You are my hero. It worked flawlessly. Im using an unrooted but unlocked H910 in Germany and I really needed tethering.. This method rocks! Now the only problem is still that I can't install the original LG app for the best audio quality with the dac. Btw: does anybody know how to get rid of the carrier name on the left side on the top of the display? Without having an additional app?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] twistedvip:
Awesome, I may reference Galaticboy2009s method in my post too for those who aren't able to use mine to get it working.

As for getting rid of the carrier name, you can always change the ro.build.target_operator from ATT to OPEN. This makes your phone more like the international variant, with no carrier name and default signal images. You need to be rooted though.

Also I've read that if you're needing to get into the Hidden Menu, you need to change OPEN back to ATT.

[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jogg3r:
Thx 4 answer. But rooting isn't an option. It's to complicated for this phone and I'm to worried to brick the device.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] AWT86:
I just got my V20 yesterday, with AT&T software unlocked for all networks. Can I somehow enable the hotspot without rooting?
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] ryebox:
Hi Everyone,

Here's another option if you don't want to use ADB and developer mode EACH time you want to enable tethering....

Normally, "Settings Database Editor" does not allow you to change the "tethering_dun_required" setting because android has blocked it. However, when I attempt to change it, I am provided code which can be input just once to allow these secure settings to be changed. The difference with this method is that this only needs to be done ONCE. When you reboot, this change will remain. To enable tethering, you will have to go into "Settings Database Editor" and change "tethering_dun_required" to 0 EACH TIME you reboot. But, this is a pretty quick operation; much quicker than hooking up your droid to a computer - especially if you're not near one.

These instructions are for a MAC

in terminal:

./ adb devices -l

./ adb shell

pm grant by4a.setedit22 android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

Thanks to everyone that has posted their solutions / experiences here.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] sinnedone:
Oreo update seems to have broken this on H910 (AT&T)

Is there a way to get hotspot working again without adding "DUN" to APN settings?

Used to work perfectly fine on 2 V20's for me before the Oreo update.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jogg3r:
Rooted my h910 two days ago. Finally I had the guts to do it. And I finally edited the setting to open. :) thx again man.
[LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jogg3r:
Worked awesome, but for that I have a carrier on the Lockscreen. Okay. That's not so bad. But wondering if you also know how to remove this one? Thx in advance:)

How to downgrade back to stock Lollipop

I lost my stock backup to a bad card. What is the easiest way to get back to stock? Is there anything special I need to do or can I just flash a stock ROM? (It's been a long while since I have messed around with any of my devices and need a refresher/validation that I'm not going to f things up.) Stash
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] thools60:
You can't flash a stock ROM in twrp. For that you need Odin. Go to https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ and find the right firmware for your model. (be careful to choose right). On the download site there's instructions and download link for Odin for PC. There's also videos on YouTube with good instructions.

Good luck!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] DGT79:
Hi [MENTION=2556610]Just_s[/MENTION]:

The process is fairly simply actually [emoji6]

1. Go to https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ and download the firmware for your region, you can use other ones but you have to be careful, for instance if you live in Australia you would get the one that would suit your carrier or location, but at times you can choose British, Romanian and about 4 other countries, but you have make sure that it suits your model number. Ultimately you should choose the one for your region.

2. Donwload the Odin listed on Sam Mobile's website, they also list instructions on how to do it, and it is fairly simple so long as you follow them and dont skip any steps

3. If in doubt ask plenty of questions, dont let things get out of hand or become to hard as you can brick it (Though most likely soft brick it)

Can I ask the reason for going back to stock?

Cheers,

David.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Android Development] Just_s:
Thanks, David. I was pretty much set with the process (been doing it for several years) and already did the restore.

I was really just inquiring as to whether there were any oddities going backward from 7.x to 5.x the way there were going from 4.x upward. Anyway, I figured I'd give it a go and it was fine.

I was going back to stock for several reasons:

Wanted to have a backup of a stock setup eith my preferred apps, settings, etc. (I lost mine due to not considering the integrated storage option in 7.x before flashing between ROMs :crying:)

I wanted to see if I could snag some apks of apps that I like (not surprisingly didn't work between stock and lineage.)

Wanted to see which stock version fixed the issue with the Logitech keyboard so I would know in case I ever went back to stock.

I really didn't like CM from 2011-2014 (the last time I used it) so I wanted a line of retreat if that was still the case. It isn't. I actually really like Lineage OS. It feels the way CM did before it became bloated and sketchy around 2011. I am running Lineage now.
