Hi

some feedbacks and some questions: It might seem interesting to ALL!!

(my phone: SGS8 (build CRE9), my tmobile plan: Tmobile One with no High speed hotspot just 3g)

1. the edited method worked like a charm as I got high speed internet on my IPAD. (Got 15-20 Mbps!! on Ookla speed test app on IPAD). This means I'm already past the 3G limit! I don't even know how to thank the original poster!

also the hotspot usage on my android Tmobile app showed 0.0 MB after the test. I still have to test more on this part though. You might know that speed test data usage doesn't count toward your data. (It's just important for those who want to get Kickbacks, $10/m credit)

2. I couldn't even get to connect my PC (Win 8.1 64bit) to the hotspot after many attempts let alone testing the speed. I need advice!

3. I want to buy a cheap old phone just to make it my home unlimited hotspot. (I am not satisfied with low upload speed of Spectrum cable, just 2Mbps) I have an extra Tmobile sim card to use. As you might say the firmware of the phone might matter. so what kind of phone and firmware you suggest that might be easiest to use as Hotspot?

4. There are some wireless LTE modem/routers that support Tmobile LTE band (obviously not available in US as the carriers won't sell unlocked ones) like this one. You just put your sim card (any type as they are unlocked) in it and then connect up to 10 devices to it.

Has anyone have any experience with such devices here in US? Do you think we can bypass the Hotspot limitations with this as well? I assumed there is no hack to use original locked Tmobile Hotspot devices. let me know if I'm mistaken.

Again my end purpose is to change my home internet provider from spectrum to tmobile.

Thank you very much in advance

Help! hide hotspot menu -sprint omadm-

Hi, in my case I can access the APN and edit them. I CAN NOT access the Hotspot menu to turn on / off (it is hidden, it does not appear in the settings menu). I'm using a SIM from a carrier outside of the USA, everything works fine on the cell phone, except hotspot.

Any idea to help solve the problem. I not ROOT, momentarily I am using PDAnet + as an alternative, I prefer to use the native function, PDAnet + disconnects and changes the SSID every 15 minutes.

Data from my cell phone:

Samsung S8 plus (Oreo 8.0.0)

I am on Tmobile and have an S8+.

I just tried this and i found something very interesting; I get an upload speed of 31 mbps and .43 mbps as the download speed.

is there any way to get the download were the upload speed is?

Thank you very much, I am currently using my old Verizon Note 7 on AT&T Prepaid and this has just saved me significantly as where I currently live we do not have any cable/internet providers. I live in the middle of nowhere and this is what I will be using to play my video games. GREAT Thanks!!!!!

T-Mobile, note 9. As soon as you activate mobile hotspot, it replaces "tether_dun_required 1" in my settings. I tried:

- setting tether_dun_required to 0, deactivate mobile data, activate hotspot (sets back to 1), active mobile data

- setting tether_dun_required to 0, activate hotspot with mobile data already active (sets back to 1)

- activate hotspot, set tether_dun_required to 0 (throttled)

- set tether_dun_required to 0, delete the tether_dun_required setting altogether, deactivate mobile data, activate hotspot (puts tether_dun_required 1 back into settings), reactivate mobile data

Every single time, the download speed gets throttle to ~0.5mbps.

Damn you t mobile.

Question about this thread

I hope this question is not stupid but I just wanted to know is the purpose of this thread to establish tethering only Or is it also to allow for free unlimited tethering. The reason why I asked this is I have read all the posts related to this thread and have interpreted different results. Any thoughts appreciated.

I had the same problem with Boost Mobile I tried n.boost.ispsn did not work my firmware ver is G930PVPS5BQK1 s7.

---------- Post added at 04:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:53 AM ----------

I keep getting the following error You have not subscribed to the hotspot service

---------- Post added at 04:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:04 AM ----------

For me all the adb commands work correctly

I then reboot the phone I disabled no mobile networks , I then enabled hotspot, I then went back and re enabled Mobile data At which time I receive the following error

Unable to a establish a wireless data connection

Lte:esm 33 emm-x

Then approximately 5 seconds later A window pops up asking me to select and subscribe to a hotspot service.

Beware of CRG9 update

It seems as though Sprint has found a way to break this hotspot on my unlocked Note 8 (or at least throttle it to the point that it's not useful). I've tried following the steps numerous times and it doesn't seem to be working. Sometimes it will connect to a website on the computer after a long wait other times nothing happens. Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] kurt424:
So it seems that my computer is not running adb shell correctly. I tried again on a different computer and it worked. So I can now confirm that this method still works on Sprint CRG9

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] AnubisJackal:
Just tried this on my phone. Managed to get it work after some tinkering. Just bought a Galaxy S8 used off of Swappa, model number SM-G950U. It's running 7.0 on the AT&T network.

When I first tried to do this it wasn't working at all. I made sure I followed all the steps correctly and I confirmed that I did. I tried to start it with Mobile Data turned off and it said I needed to turn it back on to start the hotspot. I restarted my phone, tried again, and got the same message and outcome. Then I tried just with Mobile Data turned on which led it to "Verify" the hotspot and it told me to call 611 to enable hotspot.

Finally I was able to get it to work by turning on my wifi, enabling wifi sharing, and then connecting to a network. Then I went and turned off mobile data and attempted to start the hotspot with the wifi still connected. I did this very quickly so that I turned on the hotspot as the wifi was still connecting. And to my surprise, the hotspot turned on! From there I just turned the mobile data back on and then turned the wifi off and the hotspot stayed on. If it doesn't work for you try what I did before you give up :) thanks for this mod!

I did a mistake and updated my Galaxy s8 on tmobile. now the hotspot is throttled again. previously I was using the adb shell command:

" settings put global tether_dun_apn "Tethering data,fast.t-mobile.com,,,,,,,,,310,260,,dun"

with good results.

Any updated working suggestions other than VPN? (I've heard VPN is throttled generally)

I'm on Tmobile One plan. No LTE hotspot.

Not working on Note 9 T-Mobile

All steps followed exactly. I got nothing. Any ideas or anyone else with similar issues?

---------- Post added at 12:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:04 AM ----------

I used this: "Tethering,fast.t-mobile.com,,,,,,,,,310,260,,dun"

NOT this: "Tethering data,fast.t-mobile.com,,,,,,,,,310,260,,dun"

For whatever reason, when you use the latter, it only shows up as "Tethering" and omits everything from the space onward.

Has anybody had any luck getting this to work on the Note 10+ on Sprint? I'm trying to remember which method I used on the Note 9.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] SublimeMogul:
Isn't this more of a carrier specific MOD? I only bring this up because Sprint locks down the menu for modifying my access point settings under mobile data. So, I used the ##3282# dialer command to allow me access and I created an new APN option with ",dun" added in to allow tethering. Gotta reset it after every profile update though.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] cruckus:
you need to check first with ##DATA# and go to apn settings. i had to switch from typing in "n.ispsn" to "x.ispsn" in the instructions to get it to work. maybe how they are combating this but something i found and thought the community could use this. especially with the non root route they have gone. the phone i used was using "x.ispsn" instead of "n.ispsn" and that was the trick to make it work on sprint.

Hi guys,

Just saw this thread.

I'm using a GSI rom, so I have Bluetooth tethering.

I assume the phone will report it as tethering, so I need to execute the 2 commands, right?

If so, do I really need to:

The whole point of me using Bluetooth tethering is getting my car connected to the internet WITHOUT me turning tethering on and off all the time...

My Bluetooth and Bluetooth tethering are always on, so my car automatically connects to my phone and gets internet, and no one sees my tethered network (unlike WiFi Tethering...)

Still works July 29, 2020 on Sprint device changed over to tmobile

Hello, this mod is still working as of Today (July 29, 2020) on my Galaxy Note 9. Just change the n.ispsn to x.ispsn. This may not be the fastest internet but it comes in handy when needing internet for a device in the car.

It only worked right after updating with adb. Lost it after restart.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] d3n4l1:
Hi, I just picked up an unlocked note 9 with plans to connect it to Sprint. I am in the Houston area, where I think it's been said the towers have already been switched. Does this mean that the mod doesn't work at all? Or that I just need to reset something everytime I restart. Also, I am considering rooting the phones (mine and my wife's). Is there another way with a rooted phone?

I haven't moved the SIM cards yet. Should I hold off on that? Should I root first? Should I take a walk?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] kurt424:
It works if you go in and do the steps until you restart then it's lost again. At least that has been my experience. I've not tried the root method, I think that there are some ROMs that allow hotspot.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] d3n4l1:
Thanks Kurt. So it's not too much of a hassle? It's there if you need it anyways? As long as it is an option so far, I guess I'll not fret on getting a ROM cooked up to install. I'll be in the Sprint store tomorrow morning to get compatible SIM cards. Then I'll try the hack to see if it works in this part of Houston. I've decided if it doesn't work and I really want it I'll put the time into backup and porting to a custom ROM later.

Cricket Wireless Hotspot bypass

I tried the same hack with Cricket Wireless , changing MNC: 120 to 150.

Does anyone have a luck with Cricket?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Sandlotje:
The directions listed on the very first post still work, four years later. Just did this on my Verizon S10+, and got it done on the first try.

However, I think some things have changed a tiny bit for the installation process. It took me all in about 20 mins, and I was flipping back and forth between the instructions on post #1, and the ones found: here. I did the process from absolute scratch (no drivers or programs related to this process had been installed yet when I started).

Instead of CMD (or command prompt in admin mode), I put the cursor in an empty space in the platform-tools folder and did shift + right click (just like he says in the original instructions), but I had the option of powershell instead of CMD.

Instead of typing adb devices in the powershell, I had to type .\adb.exe devices for it to do anything. *Note, if you press enter and it says unauthorized next to your phone's serial number, you need to look at your phone and you should have a prompt to allow usb debugging.

Then enter the command: .\adb.exe shell

Then enter the command: settings put global tether_dun_required 0

Followed by command: settings put global tether_dun_apn "APNDUN,n.ispsn,,,,,,,,,310,120,,default,mms,dun"

After that, I just followed the final couple steps from the first post

One small note is that it seems to work now every time without repeating steps 6 - 8 each time (as indicated by first post). Not sure what this means, but it seems like a positive thing.

Hello all. If I am on T-Mobile, what would be the appropriate syntax? Or does it still even work on T-Mobile and the current generations of phones bought from them (meaning, they might have fiddled with the factory firmware)? TIA.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] AToddSmith:
I've tried applying this Via adb, and I can now start the hotspot without getting the "you are not subscribed" error, but devices attached cannot see the internet.

I noticed that if inside an adb shell I type "settings get global tether_dun_apn" it shows me APNDUN,n.ispsn,,,,,,,,,310,120,,default,mms,dun

But if I go into dialer and hit ##DATA# and view APN settings, under APN Type it only shows "default,mms".

Any thoughts or suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] dikdiamond:
I can confirm that this works on Visible wireless however I'm limited to 10 up/down and not the full data speed (roughly 25-50 up/25-30 down). Any tweaks to the settings? It's better than the 5 up/down that Visible throttles hotspot to but just looking for the maximum I can get without root.

Samsung A12 on Boost Mobile. Not quite sure I got it working. Followed steps. I do get hotspot data from phone(Shuts off data for anything on actual phone, not sure if that's normal?). But it seems to still be registering data use on phones data tracker and boosts app. Although I should only get 12gb hotspot data and I'm close to 20gb now, so it seems it's maybe tricking the limit cap..but it looks to still be eating into my 35gb "unlimited" data. I tried the running command method and creating new APN.

This is what I get for my APNs.

The "bypass" I created myself following steps from another poster on first page.

This is the standard default non changable APN

This is my created APN.

Only thing I changed was left out "xcap" of APN Type, added "dun" and changed both APN settings to ipv4

Could also not be working due to the boost/dish merger currently going on?.

2) BBQ'd my LTE icon, the data is there, but the icon is inconsistent, e.g. connect/dc from WIFI=> present, enable/disable hotspot => Disappears unless I Mobile Data Off/On. Anyone know what I could possibly do to revert this? I did exactly as OP stated. I'm trying to avoid having to reflash the device to correct the setting possibly. :(

P.S. I tried changing the setting back to 1 or 2 but still get the same issues with the LTE icon not appearing anymore after turning on/off hotspot.

Same here on VZW, but mine only has one APN setup.

Does yours show the new values in the APN settings after running the shell commands? Mine doesn't.

And could you actually attach a screenshot or two showing the full list of those APN settings? I'm wondering if there's any chance that I have an extra setting or two that might be causing the values to write to the wrong setting.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] rawintellect:
Unfortunately my answer is no to both. The screen is entirely inactive. I cannot select anything to see if the settings are applied. But as this is working for me and survives reboots I'm sure they are applied.

I even tried viewing the APN settings in the ##DATA# menu. Again the screen is grayed out. I suppose if I had my msl then I could edit those settings making the OP not needed. But I don't so I can't.

As for a list of the APN settings again I don't have them. I simply followed a well known proceedure and posted it to this forum once I confirmed it worked for the Note 8.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] snwbrdr852:
Interesting. I can view the APN settings straight from the settings menu, but can't modify anything except the APN name.

And I imagine that the settings would reflect the updated values if they were taking.

The ##DATA## menu won't even open for me...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] rawintellect:
it's ##DATA# (only one # at the end). I'm thinking the screen is disabled entirely which is why nothing works. Not even the reflection of the values.
