So far for the last few days I've been getting use of my hotspot without the data being reflected on the TMobile website as hotspot data. All data I use reflects as regular unlimited data. The issue I've run across so far is when traveling, it can revert back to original settings when changing towers, but only sometimes. At home on the same tower, no issues so far.

I did a couple of things to get unlimited hotspot. First I downloaded TTL Editor and set value on all interfaces to 65. Then I added a new APN with the settings in the screenshot. As soon as I saved it, all the regular TMobile APN's disappeared and only the one I added stayed. I have downloaded about 5gb of data through hotspot and so far no hotspot data showing up.

I have a TMobile OnePlus 6t on the TMobile network, converted to international. I hope this works for you. Please don't forget, changing towers SOMETIMES reverts back to old APN. I got back by rebooting and the APN I created showed up again. Also I don't know if everything I did is needed, I stopped when I realized hotspot data was being counted as regular data.

As far as speeds go, I get about 40 Mbs vs the 50-60 I normally get.

You must be rooted to do this.

Using my mobile hotspot, so far I have binge watched on Hulu, and downloaded a bunch of things on various devices just to make sure I'm not missing something. So far, 4 days now, I have no hit to my mobile hotspot. The Caps was a typo, but since it's working, I left it. I don't know, all I can say is try it. I don't have any tethering mods, only the Magisk modules listed.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] jrsndr:
I'm guessing that something about the way the APN is entered causes all the hidden TMobile APN stuff to be muted. All the TMobile APN's disappear when this one is active.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] jrsndr:
Okay, out in town today and this APN method doesn't work in town. I had to revert to T-Mobile default to get reliable data. It only works great when I'm at home. I am rural and TMobile and AT&T share a tower here, maybe that has something to do with why it works at home, but not in town. So this might work for some people, but definitely not all.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] ecompton59:
only reason I said that I think it's unlocked I looked at apn.xml and pulled dun apn I used * instead of dun because it don't allow it depends on carrier on what you need to enable I'm 310260 I went deleted line where it's hidden changed a few other things also testing now and you have to add the line with database editer and pcweb apn hope it helps
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] yanggame:
The only reliable way is

1. flash a custom kernel with TTL iptable patch

2. create a new apn and change ipv6 to ipv4 (don't include mms because you will break it)

3. change settings put global tether_dun_required 0(may not needed anymore)

4. use a ttl editor to change value from 64 to 65, or use iptable command to do it.

3 and 4 can be done by a automate tool, I use MacroDroid. There is a template in MacroDroid, just search "Change TTL"

thought it would work i didnt need to do but one thing it works and sticks testing before i say on here its read only but thats way i needed
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] RussianBear:
this. you can probably get away with a ipv4/6 setting also.

for t-mo people. once you hit the 50 gig cap, simply switch over from lte to hspa and the speeds are going to be just fine again.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] SavakSYN:
As I'm currently trying to utilize my OP6T as my source of internet, I appreciate your input. A couple questions regarding your suggestions:

1. In regards to TTL, what's the difference between using a custom Kernel with TTL iptable patch versus rooting and using an application like Change TTL or TTL Editor? Do these applications not work if the Kernel doesn't support it? And I'm guessing the OEM Kernel does not...

2. How does using an application like NetShare or EasyTether differ from doing the steps you outlined above? I understand they require an initial investment (pro versions of those apps), but do they yield the same results, or am I better off going the route you outlined?

Thanks

the best way is download apn offline sim database editor make it a system priv app and you'll be able to add dun I have unlimited hotspot 4g speeds hope this helps op Dev you may need pro to make it work right I also edited the apn.xml to see and change apn I'm still testing read only or not but both work

I kind of cheat a little. I rarely tether, but, once in a while, say 2-3 times a month, I'll be where there isn't any wifi. On Straight Talk (tracfone)

using the at&t towers, I'll tether to get some web work done. Maybe 15-30 minutes at most, so I'm guessing I'm flying under the radar.

Not downloading or streaming videos.

im on T-Mobile tested on international 6t and stock 7pro works great i live in gaston sc way out i boosted my mtu by decompiling framework.apk but theres easy ways to do that some phones boost the signal at top by one bar oneplus i have had that off maybe rom that turned that off if not i would have i went in rftoolkit.apk but thats different
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] lordcheeto03:
I have AT&T proper, not straight talk, but I have noticed that my tethering data doesn't show up as hotspot data, straight out of the box. I just tick the hotspot quick settings tile and go, no custom kernel, no magisk module, no build.prop edits, no special APN.

That being said, be careful how much data you use with AT&T and the AT&T side of Straight Talk because I believe I am now being perpetually slowed on my home tower due to one month's very high data use; cautionary tale ahead...

I have the unlimited and more plan; unlimited talk/text/data and 15GB hotspot data per line. My wife uses a Galaxy S9 and I use the 6T; she regularly hits her 15GB hotspot limit each month, and mine never shows that I've used any hotspot data at all. In fact, I bought an Xbox one X about 2 months ago and used my hotspot for the initial setup, game downloads, and updates.. in all I used well over 300GB on my line that month, nearly every bit of it hotspot and it all showed as my unlimited data.. I believe they now permanently do more than deprioritize my line because the deprioritization is only supposed to kick in once you go over 22GB in a billing cycle and is supposed to reset on the new cycle. The thing is, ever since that month, the max speed I can get now at home, on hotspot or mobile data, is generally between 150-400KB/s whereas before that month, if I got less than about 1.5MB/s I was wondering why my data was slow. Doesn't matter if it's the first day or the last day of my billing cycle, I can tell that there is definitely something different because away from home, my speeds are normal; it's just on the tower that services my home am I cut off so severely. YouTube buffers, downloads take forever, and even Speedtest.net, which apparently normally says your data speeds are faster than they actually are, gives me pretty pitiful results. My wife's data speeds seem to be impacted as well, so they must have nerfed my account on our home tower, if it's even possible...
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] p51d007:
Yeah, I'm pretty careful to JUST browse when I'm hot spotting. Heck, even with spotify streaming with my phone, I rarely

use more than 8-10GB of data per month out of the 25GB I get. At work I'm on wi-fi anyway ;)
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] RussianBear:
went on a wild goose chase regarding this issue myself. i thought whatever i did on my other 9.0 Pie phone (running Omni) would stick here(running the dun adb command script), but no cigar. T-mo was still seeing my wi-fi traffic. I went ahead and grabbed the apns-conf.xml file from my other pie phone and over-written the one in the etc folder. That killed all of the other apns and resetting to default would not bring up t-mo compatible ones in the menu. great, right? I went ahead and re-created a tmo apn manually and set it to ipv4, as well as adding "DUN" to the apn type (all caps) - that bypassed the usual "carrier disallows dun apn type" crap.

I went ahead and tethered my connection to my other phone (initiated a vpn on it) and downloaded a large file. tmo didn't seem to display any change in wifi tether data. will be testing some more later tonight.

my theory is that without these modifications, your tether traffic is getting a run thru the dun apn that was setup in the stock apns-conf.xml file, allowing the carrier to see it. if anyone wants to test with my modified file, let me know and i will upload it.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Causical:
I can confirm there are some oddities (although advantageous) with hot spotting from AT&T through the 6T, in the event where there actually isn't any hotspot data available on a phone plan you will still be able to hotpot. Although if you switch your sim card to another phone you will likely not be able to hotpot at all unless available on your plan.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] ecompton59:
i messaged you back gigilie sorry it gave the devdb notification not the message one the apn.xml will be different depending on carrier config but after playing around with it you have to do just right someone is putting instructions up soon we tested different setups with no prob but it deletes carrier apn i took the carrier name off lock screen and moved other stuff and dun has to match xml also idsn works too

Do it in all caps (DUN).
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] pbergonzi:
And T-mo.

I think the carriers don't allow it, but some roms don't enforce it and some do.

My 6T running on OOS 9 international connected to T-mo allows it, but 10 doesn't.

If any of the ideas mentioned in this thread work, I won't have to downgrade back to 9.

As far as I know, google coded that enforcement into android to appease the carriers.

I should think a skilled dev would be able to hack that particular enforcement out of android.

Yes, it is that one listed under "Attachments."

In what way is it not working?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] Limon_Lime:
When I try to turn on hotspot it briefly turns on, then immediately turns off. Installing the module didn't fix this.

I swear I was able to use it before on OOS10 but for some reason it's doing this now.

I have tried the build.prop line and adding global_tethering_dun via terminal and adb. This doesn't fix it, nor does it add "dun" to my apn settings.

I am on cricket wireless and I'm unsure if this is them blocking it or if it's a problem with my device. I was using it a week or two ago just fine.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] pbergonzi:
That's too bad. I thought there were some other tethering things around, but not sure--I might've confused them with Dolby.

My best guess is to return to the state you were in before, and research some more.

You can try to uncheck hardware acceleration in developer options. You could also try VPN hotspot. The two together have always worked for me. Then there are pay options like pdanet netshare ECT. They normal use VPN and summer sorry off tunneling to browser through proxy settings on other device.

Termux Bypass

Just figured I would drop this in here as a working solution.

I've done this for ever and it's not going to be restricted to who you have but it will 100 percent get around any data throttling.

Download Termux app and install openssh-server on it. Go ahead and hotspot your phone, then run ifconfig inside Termux to get your current tethering local IP. It will be the only 192. spit out when you run ifconfig. Save this. Run sshd -dD inside Termux which starts an openssh server waiting to be connected to in debug mode to audit traffic. Now pop onto a PC or router you can SSH into, whatever and connect it to your hotspot from your phone. Now SSH tunnel all the traffic from the device back through the openssh server your running on the Termux app. Now that you are on the same local network you can SSH tunnel into that IP address you saved earlier. As long as you make sure all your traffic passes through the tunnel it 100 percent shows that all your internet is being used by Termux app not your hotspot app so you need no other spoofing of hops or anything because to your phone and carrier you are just using a bunch of data in termux, you do it right you will never be throttled I've used 150GB data multiple times.

USB tether to Asus Merlin possible?

I was able to connect to the openshh server in termux using putty and set up my proxy in windows 10 without a problem, but it still detects it as hotspot data. I am sure if I use sshuttle it will work, but my goal is to connect my hotspot to my Asus-Merlin router using usb tether :eek: .

Have you considered the old school method of PDANet?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] lordcheeto03:
Could anyone help alleviate some of my confusion? I'm not exactly sure what to. Previously I didn't have to worry about hotspot caps as my 6T somehow made AT&T think that all my hotspot data was, in fact, just mobile data. Now that I am a customer of TMobile, I now actually have to worry about that hotspot data cap, as 600Kbps sounds pretty terrible.

I've read this thread multiple times, I've read threads this one links to, I've downloaded and installed the modules linked to as well (both together and each one individually) yet TMobile still sees me tethering. I've added a new APN, same as the APN that was default, only I added DUN to the APN type. I don't even know if that's what I'm supposed to do, exactly, but I DO know it didn't work.

I'm rooted, unlocked bootloader, TWRP, running a non-Tmobile branded North American 6T (A6013) on OOS 10.3.0. Where am I going wrong? Also, if I need to downgrade to 9.0.17, that's not a problem at all, I would just like to know how to get this working. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Main goal is to be able to use my Xbox One X on Xbox live, no FPS games, just a little GTA online and some content downloading here and there... but at the bare minimum I just want to be able to use my Chromecast and allow my daughter to watch YouTube kids off my hotspot and not worry too much about getting bumped to their "3G" speeds of 600Kbps..
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] gigilie:
I'm on same Android version, rooted and I've found that installing these 2 Magisk modules tethering enabler 10.0, TMobile unlimited tethering and then downloading VPN Hotspot (green key icon app) from play store and enable the Wifi Hotspot in the app then enable the wlan0 passthru option its given me the best results over anything else.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] lordcheeto03:
What version of magisk are you using? I'm on 20.3 stable and the tethering enabler 10.0 tells me installation failed, magisk is not activated.

I've attached the tethering enabler module I've tried. What's the difference between the two?

As for the app, I'm giving that a shot now.. but either way it goes, with the TMobile unlimited tethering module and tethering enabler module, I'm still consuming my hotspot data. Am I missing a step? I know I don't fully understand what the process is, but I assume those modules aren't just flash and forget; I thought the modules just enabled you you edit the APN a certain way to bypass the tethering cap... At least that's what I gathered from ecompton59's posts and the thread he created on the subject, it's just hard for me to follow his train of thought...

Also, I just set up and used that VPN Hotspot app. Coming from at&t, I could control my Chromecast from my device that was running the hotspot. When I switched to TMobile, that ability went away; IP addresses were different.. this app restores my ability to control my Chromecast without having to use ANOTHER device connected to my hotspot just for the Chromecast... So even if it didn't bypass T-Mobiles tethering cap, it's still a win!
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] gigilie:
The magisk modules do all the things talked about in the thread that have helped in pie it changes some build prop stuff and the T-Mobile tethering one sets the new apns. I got it to work once using ecompts replacement apn files, but only for a few minutes then back the normal. Using those two modulea and VPN hotspot I figured out I could hotspot to my PS4 no throttle Or T-Mobile detected hotspot data used. It wasn't the fastest but I could get 15mbs + download and 10mbs upload. Then I was experimenting with different radio settings seems like straight LTE gets the best results for just hotspotting but UMTS/LtE works well. Theres been a lot of changes from 9 to 10... Missing apps like engineermode n the logkit are missing so some hacks dont work. Google upped the carrier security big-time for a10 and so we have to keep experimenting and figuring out new ways for success. So if what I shared works awesome please post your results and if u find a better way or alternative way please let everyone know
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] lordcheeto03:
And this was on OOS10? I'll downgrade to 9.0.17 if the tethering hack is easier or more reliable, it's not like there's a giant difference user experience wise between OOS9 and 10...

Also, you just flash those two modules, the TMobile unlimited tethering and the tethering enabler module along with that app and go? There's no modifying APNs, nothing?
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] potna:
did you have success? i think we may be in the same boat? i have the international version of this phone model a6010, on tmobile, on os version 9.0.17 rooted with magisk. i have tried a few things here in this thread but i too dont know what i am doing nor did i have any success.

to be clear: i can turn on hotspot, that has never been a problem its the 600kbps throttle i am trying to fix.

also, this phone is new to me, i was on an old note 4, it was easy to bypass throttle on it but it was two steps, i used a root app called "wifi tether router" and i had to edit the tll one time in regedit on the pcs i used that was connected to the tether app. i had to do both. i think we need to hide that we are using a the hotspot and mask the ttl values.

i am surprised no one has mentioned this two prong approach, but i am not the expert here. side note, you can edit ttl on windows pcs, but not on xbox's and ps4s so they were always throttled which not only slows the throughput down to 600kbps but also doubles the ping from 28ms to 64, which sucks for gaming. anyways i am going to read through this entire thread a few more times to see if i can understand what is going on and maybe report back here with anything i find. its been almost 10 years since i have posted on here, man a lot has changed lol

about an hour or so later i had success. i want to quote the guy who had the solution that worked for me as it seems like his solution worked for me but no one else commented so i wanted it to be known how it worked for me and a few tests i did to confirm some things.
