Good I'm glad you were able to get your speed up. Have you tried my little trick to maximize your connection and settings (in this same forum) useful when used in conjunction with these tricks. I implemented the APN changes in the magisks module I posted but I'm not sure if it's working exactly seems to help (erases all references of the T-Mobile pcweb APN and changes it to simply the fast.tmobile apn. In order to absolutely hide your tethering data please download and install VPN Hotspot 2.8 and I use TTL Master set to 63 or 64 depending on what phone I'm using test both you should b able to see which fits better on whatever device your using. It requires root but it's the best way to securely hide your data (it forces all network traffic thru wlan0 essentially mimicking a VPN but doesn't hurt internet speeds like using a real VPN would do. I've tested this method (the magisks scripts actually do help protect carriers from seeing what your doing) along with this app on rooted 6ts on both 9 and A10 is the easiest way to bypass any throttle on your Hotspot or internet. I've hotspot'd over 80gb this month already (my son's PS4 game updates) this trick lets me run all my toys that normally would need me to buy internet from an ISP. I can Stream from Netflix, fire stick, PS4 games online no lag it's a lifesaver.

Another new option for Unrooted stock phone's (any phone/any carrier) I've found is using HTTP Injector SSH/Proxy/VPN. Enabling the hotspot and mod for proxy and setting up the proxy for whatever wifi I'm using isnt quite as simplistic but it works. I wouldn't trust it as well as the rooted method to hide all evidence but it bypasses any throttling if setup correctly. With a rooted phone it can do the same but the apps rooted mode extras had no effect on my 6t and still made me do the proxy server which has to be continuingly updated any time either device is reset.

Hope this information helps some people out there. Working on updating an all in one magisk module that changes the TTL, apns, modifies the system build prop and all that fun stuff... But for now TTL Master and VPN Hotspot are essential on rooted phone's for security against your carrier.

Let me know your results guys!

thank you for your response, i am still anxious about getting this to work at all and i am a bit nervous at the moment, but i do plan to circle back and see what else i can learn here. i did try your tricks and even got the hotspot vpn but it didnt work, but you can count on the fact that i probably did something wrong. there is a chance the modules that were posted here actualy did work for me but perahps the test apn i setup finalized it??? again, once i get my confidence up and get over my excitement of my small amount of progress i will go at this again. i really want to hide this data, and if i am successful i will get another one plus 6t for my straght talk line and do the same there. who knows maybe i already can with a simple sim card swap? when i come back to this topic i will reply to your posts with my findings if you dont mind. thanks again
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] potna:
ok, so i have read through this entire thread a few others, i have learned a few clues but still lack real understanding. if i got you right if you use that hotspot vpn thing ...its not really a vpn in how you are using it. it only forces the connection through wlan0 which somehow hides the data from carrier that its a hotspot, right? also you mentioned flashing modules, which ones? keep in mind im on international op6t 9..17 on tmobile.

also my hotspot works, and after fussing around with stuff i can hot spot at 30mbp down but it shows as hotspot data, i want to hide this just incase.

also i know you mentioned ttl editor, that worked for me.

got a feeling that what ever works here will not work on straight talk too, would you agree? but the ttl may apply and the vpn thing may hide it..still confused.

so did most people have hotspots that just wont turn on? i assumed hotspot enabler allows for it to be turned on but also may hide it, i have always been able to turn mine on, as its in my plan, plus im on an international model, but its throttled to the pointless 600kbps.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] gigilie:
Not sure how straight talk tracks their hotspot data. And yes in order to fully hide your hotspot data u need to do to get ttl, hotspot VPN and either have the modules going if on a10. The modules modify your props and settings and replace your apns with some modified ones that help hide it as well... I didn't get to fully test these but I they seemed to work but since the system isn't writeable I don't know for how long. In theory the new apn overwrites the TMobile Tethering Apn the pcweb on with the fast.tmo Apn essentially treating all hotspot data as normal data was the theory. So we could further modify the apns to support other carriers. This thread was originally created to figure out what worked and what wont. I didn't have access to Internet at the time and my hotspot kept getting throttled n I don't think itd right or fair for a company to restrict your phone, or double charge you for data so I made it a mission to free our phones.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] lordcheeto03:
I have tried all the modules, the fixed apns.conf, vpn hotspot, all that on both 10.3.1 and 9.0.17 and no matter what I did, I even did the adb commands to change the build.prop and my hotspot usage was detected every single time.

Out of curiosity I wanted to see if I could just use pdanet to watch a few videos or something, see if pdanet at least could hide my USB tethering... Nope. Using pdanet, connected to USB, hide tethering usage checked, TMobile still ticks away my hotspot data.

I give up... at least once I run over my 20GB LTE hotspot it's still fast enough to handle Xbox live and another phone streaming YouTube kids.. I don't understand how I'm getting 5+Mbps down when they say it's supposed to be slowed to 600Kbps (somehow defined as 3G speed)... I seem to be getting real world 3G speeds after my LTE allotment of hotspot data...
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] potna:
hey i wanted to let you know that my international one plus 6t on 9.0.17 shows my hotspot data as hotspot, but when i went to my account on a pc to check data usage, all that data data...about 300GB worth was not shown as hotspot, it only showed a total of 1.2GB of hotspot across 4 devices, even though i hotspotted 300GB. so when i saw that i stopped caring if the hotspot data showed as hotspot data. my throttling was removed and i was happy.

hey can you provide the name of the dev that makes that software. i was going to give this another go on a different one op6t phone i have on straight talk and the only one i see looks different than what i had installed before. i cant seem to find much for any settings. i know this has only ben a few weeks but this app seems different than what i had before and yes it had a green upside key, thanks again
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] lloydsw:
Not sure why, but using the TTL method - that I've been using for over a year is now throttled. Same thing when I try the VPN hotpsot.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] gigilie:
After starting a hotspot in VPN hotspot are you enabling the wlan0 Option that pops up?? I've got TMobile too these apps work. Right now network speeds are **** because everyone's online tho they get better at night but yeah everyone's affected by the bog
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] lloydsw:
Yup, I've been doing that. Still getting throttled to 500KPS. I can still bypass by using PDANet, but that connection has always seemed to drop randomly.
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] flash713:
For me on Metro by T-mobile on my OnePlus 6t stock rooted on OOS 10.3.7 this here I'm attaching from another tether thread works perfect and is very simple!!

BIG thanks to @daviderickson for this method!!! My tether was off because I have only a small tether plan with Metro by T-mobile and this got her going again. I've been using my hotspot now 30-40 mins or so and seems to not be throttled. Hope this info helps someone. If so PLEASE be SURE and give @daviderickson some "likes" on his post as that is where I got it from. I couldn't locate the thread just now when I did a quick search. If you have same issue and attempt to look him up maybe just search his username. I'll return and edit my post here and add the link in it, if and when I locate it over the next day or so. Sorry about that just in a rush at this time is all. Cheers.

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] kevin71246:
Read it all, lot of info. I couldn't get anything to work, following everyones ideas. Then I finally got my Laptop/Windows PC to work (its NOT the throttled ~0.5Mbps rather 50-75Mbps), but ONLY this, via the TTL setting on the PC.

I then repeated my steps with a fresh OS install so I could isolate my changes, these are them below (NOTHING else was done). In other words, I could NOT get any device besides my laptop to be un-throttled via the 2 Magisk modules & other suggestions. I have NOT tried modifying the APN directly.

Changes that give my Laptop/PC unthrottled Internet via my phone hotspot:

*Tmobile, Pixel 3a Magisk/rooted, Android 10 (QP1A.190711.019, Sep 2019) (also tried Android 11 RP1A.200720.009, Sep 2020)

-Laptop: \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\DefaultTTL DWord decimal 65

*Must reboot!

-VPN Hotspot app (Green key icon): "Wi-Fi hotspot" ON, wlan1 ON

Based on @potna's comment above, it sounds like I SIMPLY need to use TTL Master or TTL Editor on my hotspot phone so the connected devices report the expected TTL value. I can't get this to change anything.

With TTL Editor: What value (I tried 63,64,65), and what Interface to appy to? I tried "Apply to all..." (this succeeds), as well as wlan0 & wlan1 individually, but those fail (yes the app has root permissions from Magisk). Why would it be failing? Is this my issue? I feel like I'm so close!!

UPDATE: Funny thing: When my laptop is then connected to my phones hotspot, & unthrottled @77Mbps, I then share that laptop as a new hotspot, and have a phone connect to that- the phone (with no service, & connected to internet via 2 hotspots - TmobilePhone->Laptop(fast)->Phone(throttled)) is then THROTTLED at ~0.5Mbps! That's kind crazy...
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] kevin71246:
How are you guys succeeding with "TTL Editor" or similiar apps? It seems the kernel needs to support it? How did you find out if a kernel/custom ROM supports it? I just installed a fresh LineageOS18.1 build but that isn't working. Thanks!
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] mkhcb:
Not sure if this will help anyone, but this is what I did on my OnePlus 5T running LOS 18.1/Android 11 on T-Mobile.

1. Installed MagiskHide Props Config via Magisk

2. Opened Termux (my terminal app)

3. Typed:

SU

Props

4

N (for new)

net.tethering.noprovisioning

true

y (for yes)

y (for yes to reboot)

4. Go back to termux

5. Type:

Su

Settings put global tether_dun_required 0

6. Restart the phone.

7. Go to settings> network and internet> mobile network > APN > T-Mobile US LTE > APN type > Add: ,DUN (in caps)

8. Then in the same screen, change APN protocol to IP4 (this was essential to get a new IP address, can be changed once you have tethering working)

9. Save APN (top right screen, 3 dots)

10. Go to settings > Dev options> turn off tethering hardware acceleration

(super important step)

11. Toggle airplane mode on/off

12. Reboot

13. Cross your finger and pray it worked :)
[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] kevin71246:
I'm very confused..

I did ONLY this step: "7. Go to settings> network and internet> mobile network > APN > T-Mobile US LTE > APN type > Add: ,DUN (in caps)"

and I was able to increase my connected hotspot device from ~0.5Mbps -> 50-75Mbps! I determined this via Google speed test as well as Ookla. HOWEVER, when I go to download something its back to the 0.5Mbps speed! I don't understand this. I can even confirm the FAST speed via a speed test while I'm download very slow. Anyone else seeing this or any theories?

[OnePlus 6T  Guides, News, & Discussion] gpz1100:
I came across this thread looking for a way to change TTL on my OP 7T with android 10. As you indicate, unless the kernel (or networking driver?) supports this feature, changing it is impossible, even on a rooted device.

Cricket throttles to 128kbps unless ttl is at 65 on the client device. So far i've found several working solutions.

1) For windows clients just use reg editor

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters

dword DefaultTTL and set to 65(dec)

2) For tablets/other devices where this can't be set, pdanet will work adequately enough for web access (http/https usage). This is good enough for web browsing but everything else is blocked. Half @ssed solution.

3) Use vpn tether to bind the hotspot and a vpn (openvpn) connection on the phone. No throttles

4) Probably most complicated. Use a router that supports wifi for wan as a client to the phone. Configure router's ttl to 66. I did so successfully on an old rt-ac68u flashed with ddwrt. The following lines added to firwall to set the mangling

iptables -t mangle -I POSTROUTING -o $(get_wanface) -j TTL --ttl-set 66
iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -j TTL --ttl-set 66

This works great, but does result in a double nat (triple if you count the cgnat).

A few days ago I did: adb shell and ran the: settings put global tether_dun_required 0

Then I flipped on vpn tether app and selected wifi hotspot and wlan1 in the app. I've had consistent 35-45 mbps download and around 10mbps upload. I use metro by tmo and before tmo stepped in I always had 50-80 mbps download.. Afterwards it stayed around 20-30 mbps download. The last 2-3 months it's been horrible! Like 10-20, if that download.. Just figured I'd share. I'm downloading source now on my home computer for lineage using my tether because the wifi we get is a bit slower than what mine is now. 🤷

This is on my OnePlus 7 pro Lineage 18.1. Either something worked or metro finally got their _____ together where I'm located.

Thank you so much for this. I'm not with TMobile nor am I use a OnePlus phone but creating another APN that was a clone of the original and adding DUN allowed me to bypass the tethering block my service provider imposed.

same issue

SM-G950U here 100% stock from verizon. Went to bed night before last with low battery woke up to plug it in and boots into the Android Recovery with:

Support SINGLE-SKU

File-Based OTA

Supported API: 3

E: unknown volume for path [/odm]

i've cleared cache , factory reset ... pretty much every option in this menu. Can't boot to safe mode because you never get the "Samsung" just the initial galaxy screen or the recovery.

Brought to a store they could give a **** less they just want to sell me a new phone , big surprise.

I downloaded Odin and Drivers but can't find a non-paywall firmware and the 15k/sec download has failed multiple times (never rooted before)

So just looking for some help here.....
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] trinityracing:
Did anyone fine a solution for this? I started a thread on the same thing did not see this old one.

I was stock att then tried unbranded firmware for a while then recently decided to go back to att and upgrade to Pie at the same time. All seemed to be success besides the recovery showing same error as op.

I have not done a factory reset I was afraid to brick it with the errors going on. After reading here I see reset didn't help. My data and everything was still intact after flashing which was a surprise after changing from U1 to U, and upgrading. I sure would like to find a solution to the errors on recovery. I'm afraid it will be a problem in the future.

On a side note, I noticed I have 5G signal on att. On the unbranded firmware it was LTE tops.

[Shield Android TV General] Witterings:
I'm thinking about buying a Shield .....

One thing I do want really to be able to do is write to attached external storage remotely over a network .... either to an SD card or a Drive .... using something like Sambadroid (rather than via FTP) which can be set up as a network location from a PC/Laptop so I can control downloads to it from elsewhere in the house.

It's something I can't do with my current box as it doesn't give you write access and if you try and change the permissions it bricks.

Does anyone know if this can be easily done?
[Shield Android TV General] mLgz0rn:
The shield already does this, the plex server running on it also creates a smb share, you will need to activate it first though, in the storage settings.

And I do think if you want to use another solution, you can, you just need to make sure that the smb share plex creates is not active.

Only downside is, it's only using smbv1.

But I do think nvidia is working on getting smbv3.

It does already have it if you mount lets say your pc

or a nas through the shield as a network storage.
[Shield Android TV General] Witterings:
Thank you for that ..... do you happen to know if you can then create network locations in the \\plexserver\androidstorage type format as opposed to ftp:// format ... things like iplayer only recognise the former
[Shield Android TV General] mLgz0rn:
This is the path to my external hdd attached to the shield.

\\SHIELDANDROIDTV\Toshiba 2TB USB3.0

I don't know if they have changed it, but when you add a external harddrive, it will create the folder NVIDIA_SHIELD.

Under that folder you can create whatever you want, the shield wont see anything outside that folder.

So for example my movies are located here

\\SHIELDANDROIDTV\Toshiba 2TB USB3.0\NVIDIA_SHIELD\Media Server\Movies

If I did it like this \\SHIELDANDROIDTV\Toshiba 2TB USB3.0\Media Server\Movies the shield wouldn't be able to see those folders

And this is my path to the internal drive in the shield

\\SHIELDANDROIDTV\internal
[Shield Android TV General] Witterings:
Thank you for that ... much appreciated and have just ordered one!!

I wonder if they're bout to bring out a new version though as they're really hard to get hold of, yesterday morning 1st thing I could have order click and collect the next day at Curry's ..... by 11.30am they weren't available and ringing around virtually nowhere has them in stock.
[Shield Android TV General] Witterings:
This worked fine for a couple of days and then suddenly stopped ... it also seems to have made the button in storage settings inactive as I thought switching it off and back on again might be like a mini re-boot and get it working.

I also thought about trying something else but was also aware you mentioned not to unless the plex share was inactive ... frustrating.
[Shield Android TV General] mLgz0rn:
If the plex media server is not running the smb part wont work.

I've noticed that if the plex server is running then switching the smb off and then on works for me.

Are you on the most recent shield experience version?

You can try turning it off in the storage settings, and try running the smb server from another app, won't hurt anything.
[Shield Android TV General] zinko_pt:
Check system updates and Plex Server updates.

On a side note, I though smbv3 was out already in SHIELD Experience 7.2 update... need to check.
