Haha, I realized that just before you posted, but still no menu.

You might be right about the screen being disabled, though my gut says it's not taking.

Actually, for yours did it modify an existing APN or create a new one entirely?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] rawintellect:
I can't tell as I can't see the results. I do know the ADB commands worked just fine and this mod does work and does survive reboots.

I think most people have issues with ADB itself. But really once you install ADB it's just as simple as copy/pasting the command into either a powershell window or a CMD.EXE window. It literally took me 20 seconds to do this.

But as you are Verizon and I am Sprint there may be carrier differences which are preventing this from working for you. Which is why we need carrier specific Note 8 forums, but until the mods agree I guess we're all one melting pot.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] BlueFox721:
Just wanted to let you all know that this is working for me after I flashed my Unlocked version to Sprint Firmware and I do not have to toggle the data on or off, it just works. As soon as I switch off the Hotspot the data comes back on. Thanks for the write-up...spoke a little quick...lol...I do have to toggle the data so that my pc registers the internet...everything else is automatic
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] snwbrdr852:
Sure, I was just hoping that you noticed whether a new APN was added to that list after running the command.

Completely understand that we're in different realms. I was just trying to diagnose the issue as best I could.

And I'm FAR from the ideal person to be working on something like this, but I'm just frustrated with some of these current limitations. Especially coming from a Note 3 that I had completely dialed and automated for my needs.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] xile6:
What data plan?

I have always had free hotspot on tmobile phones. My note 8 does it out the box, same as my s8+ did
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] thedarkness37:
The unlimited one with seven gigabits of hotspot.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] krazieboy:
Sprint Carrier

Unlocked note 8

I can get wifi hotspot to turn on with this, but my connected devices get no internet. o.0

Edit: update, just found out i just needed to cycle mobile data on/off.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Death-Dealer:
My computer is acting up and not detecting the phone. Is this doable from terminal emulator? Or from ##data#?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] rawintellect:
Exactly.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] rawintellect:
ADB shell is just a Linux command prompt on the PC. I'm assuming you can. It would be tedious but I'd say it's worth a try if that's all you have. Since this isn't a command that's issued with super user authority I wouldn't think it was limited to only ADB.

Must be UICC Unlocked
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Death-Dealer:
Guess I'll be calling Sprint later for the unlock code. I called them yesterday for the msl and they told me there isn't one. It's just 000000, and some settings are still greyed out. Guess the UICC unlock is the key.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] rawintellect:
I'm aware of this. It's been around for years. Which is why in the title I put "No MSL" required. This is for those that cannot edit or add APNs through the GUI.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] rawintellect:
Good luck with that. I owned my Note 4 and getting my MSL from them was hit or miss. Some would give it to me with no issues and others told me no in no uncertain terms. Again, I realize ADB confuses some people but as I said before you really are just doing the same thing via ADB. And copy/pasting this command into powershell or CMD.EXE window literally takes 20 seconds.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Death-Dealer:
I know adb well. My computers usb ports are going I think, it keeps disconnecting. And it's not working on terminal emulator. Really need this to, as I'm on the freedom plan and ate through that 10 gb of hotspot in 2 nights with this N8.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] wtharden:
Yeah it's meant for those on Sprint that wasn't aware, they just need to get UICC unlock for international use to add APN.... But I'm sure we are all aware of this
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ianmb:
So do we type in the last line of code EXACTLY how you have it...APNDUN,n.ispsn,,,,,,,,,310,120,default,mms,dun? New to this adb stuff and only thing right now I miss from my rooted Note4 on Sprint...thanks. Only reason I ask is because I'm wondering if there was anything that went in-between the n.ispsn and 310 entry due to all the commas...sorry for noob question
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] rawintellect:
I would suggest copy/pasting. It's more accurate. These commands have to be executed exactly as written.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ianmb:
I went ahead and entered it just as you have it, on Sprint myself with the 10gb free a month on three phones, testing it on my sons ipad and the data is working fine. Going to run it for a few and see if any of my 10gb of free hotspot drops...thanks for your quick reply. I'll let you know how it goes
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] StifflerServices:
So a couple of questions, its been a while since using prop on my computer to do mods on cell.

I downloaded the latest version 1.4.3 installed as admin. then following the instruction in op.

I open cmd prop

entered: adb shell

then McAfee ask if i want to allow it to access internet, not sure what to do there so i hit "block"

after that, theres nothing else showing how to "Enable bypass"

Im not sure if its even in the right area to do the mod to the Note 8 or computer so any help would be appreciated.

I did all the phone stuff with developer mode, enable usb debugging etc. hooked phone up to computer then started cmd but as i said im at a loss as to the steps after that to make sure its doing this to the note 8 as it doesn't say. perhaps a video would help to show the steps would be ideal. However if you can let me know id appreciate it.

Also just thought how are we to set the phone after connecting to pc

Transfer files, Transfer images, Connect a MIDI device, Charge this phone, or Charge connected device

I have the Sprint Note 8 running QH7

Thanks in advace

a. Go to settings

b. Scroll down to about phone

c. Repeatedly tap "Build number" until developer access is granted

2. Get ADB installed w/ drivers

a. Click me.

3. Enable USB Debugging

a. Go to settings

b. Go down to developer options

c. Scroll down to USB Debugging and turn it on

d. Connect phone with USB to PC

4. Get into ADB shell

a. Open a command prompt (windows key + R , type "cmd" in the box and press enter is my favorite way)

b. Run:

adb shell

5. Enable the bypass

a. Disable the DUN requirement

settings put global tether_dun_required 0

b. Overwrite the DUN APN

settings put global tether_dun_apn "APNDUN,n.ispsn,,,,,,,,,310,120,,default,mms,dun"

6. Turn off Mobile Data

7. Turn on HotSpot

8. Turn on Mobile Data

Every time that you want to use the hotspot you have to turn data off; turn hotspot on; turn data back on. When you disconnect your hotspot you need to do the following:

1. Turn Hotspot Off

2. Turn Mobile Data Off

3. Turn Mobile Data On

People will complain, but after you run the code the first time, turning hotspot on and off literally takes just seconds.

All you have to do is run these two commands from the command prompt (Terminal on Mac). Copy the first one, paste it, and press enter. There should be a 1 second delay with no error. Repeat for the second command. And that's it!

adb shell 'settings put global tether_dun_required 0'

adb shell 'settings put global tether_dun_apn "APNDUN,n.ispsn,,,,,,,,,310,120,,default,mms,dun"'

UPDATE: NOW WORKING

I got it working on Sprint Note 8 on QH7. One of the things i believe happened in my first attempt was McAfee asked if was ok for it to access the internet when running the script commands so i hit block, after a couple of failed attempts, i went back into McAfee and allowed it to prompt, this time around i allowed it once, inserted first command, i then got another internet request from McAfee i allowed it again and entered second command. after that i saw no error like the first time which said command was not recognized etc. (will upload pics soon to show) I tried to then connect the same computer to the Note 8 and it said "limited" so then i toggled the data off and on again and unplugged from the computer and that seemed to work, not sure if it was unplugging from the computer or the second toggling of data. Either way, hope this helps other who are having issues getting it to work. Looking forward to rooting whenever that comes about and hopefully unlocked bootloader if not already unlocked by sprint.

Thanks for all involved in getting this to work, truly appreciate your continued work in keeping our new devices ours.. CHEERS AND BEERS TO ALL :)

Thanks for the response, unfortunately it didnt work for me after doing so. Any other suggestions I should try. Also i did turn off auto updates from dev area and another one in settings under "System Updates" other than that i downloaded the app Disable Service pro and typed tether and checked 2 that came up, except one that was supposed to be there wasnt, its called tethering provisions (here is the link of another way that supposed to work that i did before finding this thread, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8n6-ZrdIQg) so wonder if they renamed "Tethering provisions" or hid it. either way not sure if the 2 I disabled affects anything of what this thread is trying to do.

This mod seems to be for Sprint, if your using T-Mobile, or any other carrier change the values appropriately. The first part is fine for all carriers, the second part seems to be for Sprint only.

As well as disabling the carrier hotspot app itself if present...I know the Sprint Version doesn't have one but Verizon does. After disabling the carrier app some users have had success...does tmobile and att have a carrier app for hotspot or just the built in settings for Android, I'm just curious...

A little off topic but did anyone notice that if you turn the system volume all the way down you don't get the shutter sound when taking a pic? Can't remember if stock Note4 was the same cuz I had that rooted and turned off in settings. If it has already been posted about just ignore me...lol

Step 5a has to be change from Sprint parameters to T-Mobile ones. If someone could check below if I made the correct changes below.

5. Enable the bypass

alright I just did it all apears to be working im using my phone on my pc now

for a bit started at 25mb of 7GB so far so I'll see if it ever changes and I'll update
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] beachbumsurfs:
I have 10GB of free Hotspot. How can I check to see if my 10GB are not being used when this method is done? I tried to look through the sprint zone but I don't think it updates. is there another way?

Let me know if it worked out for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ianmb:
Log in on app, from side menu choose Account, scroll to bottom and hit Sprint.com, then Manage Your Devices,then from whatever line you are trying to check choose View or change plan or Services, then View Usage, your 10gb Hotspot will show with any usage and days remaining.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jathan78:
Has anyone here tried the quickshortcutmaker app from the play store trick? It allows you bypass all those greyed out uneditable APN screens so that you can simply add 'DUN' which enables your native hotspot. At least I can confirm it works my unlocked Note 8 on Sprints network.

1.) Download the app quickshortcutmaker

2.) Open it and do a search for com.test

3.) The last option should be com.test.LTEFunctionality - Expand it.

4.) Click on the LTE Test, which will bring up a page of options.

5.) Click on the TRY tab, this will bring you to a hidden menu with a sh*tload of different settings. You want to click on LTE APN SETTINGS

6.) You should now be on your phones normal Access Point Names Settings page, but it should no longer be "greyed" out and should be fully editable.

7.) Click on the APN that is already selected as that will be the one currently in use. Scroll down to APN Type and add "dun" (yes, a comma is needed between mms and dun) should look like this:

default,mms,dun

8.) Now hit your 3-button menu in the upper right corner, click save. Reboot. Enjoy.

Survives multiple reboots, and the first software update. I doubt it will survive a PRL update or a Profile update though. You'd have to go through the steps again.

***this is definitely NOT my solution. Totally stole it from someone on another forum and I haven't found the post again to be able to give credit. If someone knows who originated this piece of genius please let me know so that I can give credit where its due.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] a55a5in11:
There was but I disabled it. It won't let me turn on hotspot without mobile data on.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] BlueFox721:
The hotspot settings have share WiFi that allow you to share WiFi and data connections...

The no toggle reference is because other methods require toggling the data on and off each time hotspot is started...but yes typically you need to have data on with hotspot...this method allows for turning hotspot on and off while data stays on unaffected...

I can't get this to work on T-Mobile. USB debugging is enabled, opened cmd prompt, adb shell, directly copy/pasted the above into the adb window. Turn mobile data off, turn mobile hotspot on, then turn mobile data back on, all data is still registering as tethered. Since others are saying it works I'm assuming I'm doing something wrong here, but I have no idea what.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] rawintellect:
I've been holding off on updating the OP for T-mobile until I see more confirmed reports that it works. Did you enter both commands? Or just the one?

I entered both, directly copy/pasted into the prompt. . Also would like to note that someone posted a pic of the tmobile app notification showing tethering disabled while hotspot was running. I dont think thats an indication of it working, I had the same result, but when i checked my data usage in my account, the tethering data was clearly being used.

I beleive T-Mobile also uses package singer that check headers. They also might be reading ttl values. I get hotspot usage all the time just for using my phone, even when I don't tether.

The good thing is T-Mobile throttles tethering on the pcweb.tmobile.com apn. Switching it to fast.t-mobile.com might bypass that.

You could try using Chrome with User agent switcher, and switch it to android or ipad, and see if that helps.

Last maybe a dev can tell us what else is needed to bypass tethering detection.

What is the main reason why so many folks are eager to have these hotspot mods? Are y'all just tethering laptops and tablets for when you're out of the house or are there really some folks using this for home internet use?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] outlawbiker:
The main reason i switched to Tmobile was at the time it was the only one to offer GSM with a real unlimited data plan, no soft caps or throttling. I lived with out cable internet for a year and used 600+ GB a month on average with tethering/hotspot and gave the cable company the middle finger. If i could do it again, i would in a heartbeat! I never had a complaint from Tmobile about it except when a rep looked at some account info for me,"wow! you sure like using your phone alot!" you damn right i do! better than a cable modem and being jerked around!

back then before 4g LTE rolled out, i was getting like 25-35 mbps down,and like 10 mbps up, now i get 100-110 down and 35 up, why should i pay for over inflated,expensive cable internet again when im getting better speeds than they offer? Anyways, yes, I use it for laptops,home network and anywhere i go that I need internet,the phone is better than swiss army knife when it comes to tech.
