It is a Verizon branded phone rooted on the latest u firmware

I haven't tried yet because I don't know what to switch from sprint to Verizon to make this work and I also don't know the Verizon setting as shown here for sprint

P.s my phone don't check for subscription mobile hotspot/usb tether both cuts on and allows devices to connect but does not produce internet unless I use a VPN work around which slows speed tremendously

Anyone know where this information is from?

b. Overwrite the DUN APN

Code:

settings put global tether_dun_apn "APNDUN,n.ispsn,,,,,,http://mms.sprintpcs.com,68.28.31.7,80,310,120,,default,dun,mms,supl"

I'm trying to replicate this for my G6 on T-Mobile through Straighttalk. My APN is "wap.tracfone"

I can edit the tether_dun_apn easily, but I don't know what to put there. By default, it was just "null".

Edit: I see, it's the whole APN written out with commas. But what is the point of putting it there when I can just edit the APN manually? is tether_dun_apn something different than the regular APN?

Edit: What's the point of an APN Dun if tether_dun_required is set to 0?

i also have the MSL i can see the APNS are written differently. they start with a x.ispsn now instead of n.ispsn

ill bet if i write down the proper info and add that to the command line in ADB it may work
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] canynballa:
I think it's because I'm on sprint. I've heard this from others before like on the S7 it worked for me too but others said it won't work for them. Or if you're using a custom theme or enabled overlays through substratum causes a problem too.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Robalboa:
bro im on sprint too I tried it again with SC master lite and it worked. I deleted the message proxy, added ,dun

and if you want the data not to count turn on hotspot then toggle off data then turn it back on and itll go back to the APN2 just like this mod in the OP

Should i go in to data and delete the proxies there too? did you? and is your hotspot counting for data?

im gonna test this now and give you the heads up if it works as is
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] canynballa:
All I did was add ,dun to apn type for each one and save then reboot. I have unlimited data so I didn't do anything else.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Robalboa:
if you have sprint unlimited data if its the old family plan your good if its a new plan you only have 10 gigs

Im still checking so we can tell others.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] canynballa:
I had the same setup on my S7 and never had any issues. As long as you don't get around 300 gb three months in a row. That's the only time sprint *****ed lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Robalboa:
you must have the unlimited family plan.'

the new unlimited plan has 10 gigs of hotspot then it slows down to about 40kps per sec (basically webpages only lol)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] canynballa:
I guess so I've been with sprint since the S5 came out. That's lame that they would throttle data.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Robalboa:
the newer plans is fully unlimited with 10 gigs of free hotspot and they cost about 100 dollars cheaper a month for 4 phones.

i was paying 240, now i pay 145.00 plus the hotspot works, but when i go to my other house for vacation I use the hotspot for everything PSPRO, Roku

etc so i use up about 25 gigs in a week by myself
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Robalboa:
hey bro. I changed that apn (added ,dun) then with the msl I went into ##data#

then to data and changed the MMSC Proxy to 0.0.0.0

and went back to the apn and it also automatically changed in there

now it doesnt count ANY data at all Hotspot or not.

Im still checking back at the sprint site But i connected my PC and watched 4k video (i have a Magic box so i get like 120Mb down and 20Mb up) and none of the data is showing up anywhere.

Ill keep checking and let you know. Then when we know its good Ill complete The OP i started in the S9 Plus forum.

I just check it again while i was writing this and NO DATA yet! :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] canynballa:
How do you get your msl? I thought it was impossible to get.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] Robalboa:
Just call sprint tell them your phone is set for band 41 as the first priority, "I can see it in the ##data# menu"

(Remember you can view it but not edit it. )

You tell them the tower by your house is band25

(Only engineers can see the bands tier 4) and you can tell because you looked on your sister, friend whatevers, phone. And since yours has band 41 as priority your connecting to a tower far away and you have crappy speed. And just tell them it happened a while back on my oldphoneand I remember how we fixed it. Then tell them you entered a number in the edit section "I think it was a msl or something "

They will transfer you. Tell the story one more time and the lady will give you the MSL.

If you bought the phone directly from Samsung the msl is 000000.

Let me know

Oreo just came out a few days ago for the S7 Edge. If I update with it definitely disable this hotspot hack? Has anyone updated and checked?

EDIT: I went ahead and did the OTA Oreo update(G935PVPU6CRE7) because I'm probably switching to T-Mobile tomorrow.

This hotspot hack was unaffected and still works. I turned off mobile data, enabled hotspot, turned data back on and was able to connect another phone to mine(wifi only, mobile data off) and the data worked, speed test around 9mb/sec.

Not sure if it would work if you didn't already have the hack before updating to Oreo?

I was able to add apns manually in settings since the phone is Sprint UICC unlocked. Took half the day to finally get it to work, but it was an oversight on my part. The stock APN2 LTE internet setting second line is n.ispn. Finally realized it needed to be n.ispsn, and it worked right away!

obtain current apn settings thru adb shell

Hi does anyone know of a way to obtain the current apn settings on a locked down non rooted s7. I can set them via adb shell but I can not see them on the phone due to phone being locked down. (the carrier blocks all views of apns other than name.) I need to find the specific format Boost mobile uses before I change the apn string. any help appreciated.

On my sprint phone I can look up the values (they are grayed but I can still make it out)

2) Edit

3) Enter Sprint MSL

4) APN Settings

On a rooted phone you can type this in to get MSL

su

am start com.sec.hiddenmenu/.Program_Edit

and scroll to the bottom to get the MSL numbers.

(I also heard something about going to the sprint website and selecting activate new phone and getting the MSL that way)

This is sprint's:

For that, you can use pdanet. It's a two part application. You need the apk on your phone and download Windows/Mac application. It works great on my S9.

Does this allow unlimited hot.tether

I have a boost phone s7 And everything worked great Except that The Boost Mobile app on the phone is totally aware that I'm hot spotting. Boost app as well as mobile networks data usage appBoth are awareOf hot spotting data. So yes everything worked but not for unlimited hotspot. Has anyone been able to get it to work for unlimited data?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] taudio123:
Help on this approach

I have a boost mobile s7. It is completely locked down. I can not see any of my apn settings. I did try your approach:

settings put global tether_dun_required 0

settings put global tether_dun_apn "APNDUN,n.boost.ispsn,,,Boost_Mobile,,,http://mm.myboostmobile.com,68.28.31.7,80,310,00,PAP,defa ult,dun,mms,supl"

I then stopped mobile network, started hotspot, started mobile network.

All worked. After using it for some time, I downloaded about 1gb, I noticed that the android mobile network data usage had registered the 1gb download as mobile hot spot usage. But then I noticed on the boost mobile app account manager that 1gb was displayed. I thought this can not be right.

As I stated earlier since the phone is not rooted there is no way to confirm the adb write commands actually worked. It is my concern they did not. I then tried to start/stop hotspot and it worked with no problem. I did not have to start/stop mobile network. I then thought well what ever I am doing with adb shell it is not being applied to my particular phone. So I re read all the post in the thread. I reread your "behind the scenes" explanation of what is really happening.

I reread the OP explanation of approach: "The tether_dun_apn gets decoded into a fresh APN by the tethering system using a string format defined pretty arbitrarily in a java file. When the tethering functionality starts a new session, it checks to see if data is already available on the device through an existing DUN-enabled APN. If it is not (and it won't be if the phone is not provisioned with a DUN-enabled APN) then it starts a new data session. "

Here are my questions:

1: My phone plan includes unlimited data with 8gb mobile HS. Would that not mean that my phone through carrier provisioning has an existing DUN-enabled APN. If that is the case this approach would not work Yes/No?

2: I bought my phone 6/18, this approach has been around for 2 years Boost mobile could easily lock this down and force the phone to only use the provisioned apn for hot spotting. essentially make the APN fields read-only.

3:This is a desperate hope. When I use the adb command to overwrite the DUN apn string this is what happens on the second command:

heroqltespr:/ $ settings put global tether_dun_apn "APNDUN,n.boost.ispsn,,,Boost_Mobile,,,http://mm.myboostmobile.com,68.28.31.7,80,310,00,PAP,defa ult,dun,mms,supl"

myboostmobile.com,68.28.31.7,80,310,00,PAP,default ,dun,mms,supl" <

As you can see the confirmation string that is returned from the adb command is split at "myboostmobile.com". I do not know if that is ok or not.

4. The reason being since the phone is locked down I can not confirm the new apn settings. Do you know of a playstore app that will display this even for locked un rooted phones. I have tried dozens non of them can do it. I realize I could root the phone to do this, I have rooted 3 phones before but I wanted to see if this could be accomplished with out rooting first.

Any thoughts/comments greatly appreciated on this. Have a good day.

After 310 it should be 120 not 00. Also, recheck your code again for , and text

Maybe try this if that correction didn't work

Null the command as stated on the first page. Try this code instead

APNDUN,n.ispsn,,,,,,,,,310,120,,default,mms,dun

Instead of n.ispsn you may need n.boost.ispsn

If this doesn't work, I have a plan B
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] taudio123:
Android Tethering and APN Carrier Config restrictions

TL;DR: Google is deprecating the tether_dun_apn global setting, and by default restricts users from editing dun APNs. It does let carrier specify which type of APNs are user configurable. Between those 2 changes, it signs the end of user bypassing tethering APNs on non-rooted devices. This work was all done under the prerogative of Android's Internal Bug 38186417, most likely carriers pressuring Google to prevent user tethering workarounds.
