Sprint - Wifi Tethering Working! - Sprint LG G2

Guys, I don't know what happened but it's working on my Sprint G2. Someone help me figure out what I did. All I did just a min ago was enable it, got the error, then enabled it again. Bam, i'm connected. HOW? I played with some build.prop settings and something over in SQLite editor in com.providers.settings I think it was. The other thing, i'm stuck in 1X coverage. Maybe the entitlement check thing is trying and gives up before it gets a response, then just goes through?

Stock rooted. I played with build.prop and sqlite stuff last week but it didn't work. On a whim I just tried it and it's working.

I got mine to work too after editing that file with Sqlite, but it only worked once and with the built-in tethering. I couldn't get it to work correctly again after turning it off and on.

Hmmm, mine gives the error once or twice, then just starts working. I'm posting tethered right now. I managed to get it onto ehrpd and speed are pretty solid. I need to get my directional antenna hooked up to my Cell Booster so I can pick up the ecsrb tower instead of the halfass tower i'm on now!
EDIT: Of course I make this post and it stops working, lol. No idea why outta nowhere it works. It almost tells me it's using some kind of http authentication and if it can't connect it goes ahead and lets you use it.
EDIT2: After a reboot it works again. WTF is with this thing!

Ive been following threads on getting tethering for sprint working and I dont understand why we just dont keep it to one thread. Also, Im not sure anyone can figure out whats going on with how you got it working if you dont post the changes and edits you made to the files in detail. It might help more if others knew exactly what you did.

Can you post the lines you changed and the detail steps on what you do? What files did you modify in the android filesystem? I am sure this can be done easily but we need more description. The more information you can tell us how to replicate your situation, the better it is that we all can try this solution out and hammer out the kinks so that we get a working wifi tether for Sprint version.

Well okay.... but what files did you change and what changes did you make??
Could be you are onto something, but until you provide that info it doesnt help you or anyone else figure it out.

Have you tried connecting wifi tether while data off or in airplane mode?
Maybe it's checking with Sprint before tethering. I dunno anything about this stuff. Just speculating.
Thanks for your work on this man.

Basically Sprint wifi tethering still doesn't work. There is no proof that it is working because we don't even know the method the OP used.

The OP doesn't even know what method he used, what a Jackass. Sorry guys, major software upgrade at work, been swampzilla'd. I know there's something else in sqlite editor, but it's not working. The best luck I had was when the phone was in 1x, then would switch to eHrpd after tethering was enabled. Build.prop and screenshot of what I added to settings.db\global in sqlite.

Ok, so we just dump a couple files and say have at it?
Dude.... step -by-step.... what EXACTLY did you edit and what changes did you make??
How many times do we need to ask the same question?
If you seriously dont know then say so and have a mod delete this thread cause right now its nonsense.

Seriously. If the OP cannot easily explain the changes he made to which file step by step then the mods should delete this thread to avoid confusion.

Yep you guys are right. Close the thread. Works if I launch hotspot from 1x coverage, then it stays on. Sorry I can't be of more help, but the last line in sqlite editor and the obvious "tether" lines that are easily searchable in build.prop.txt

[Q] WIFI Unable to connect....

This just happened about 24 hours ago to me. i noticed it says "unable to start wifi" also i think that affected my wireless tether.
My phone has the simple root done to it. I have Astro File Manager, ROM Manager, and like i said before i did the simple root with Unrevoked3. i am a mac user, i dont know if this second paragraph of information helps.
What should i do? should i just wait for the update to 2.2 that is supposed to be updated to my phone sometime soon? i tried restoring from an old backup and also tried to do a full system clean as well but still same thing. I am a newbie to this but i feel as though i have somewhat of a grasp on this.
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated
You guys sure keep the mods busy around here.

I feel your pain, most responses around here aren't helpful... just negative... you'd think that if someone took the time to reply they'd just share... typical forum behavior though.
I can’t seem to find a clear answer on this… some say it works, others say it’s broke.
*watching in hopes someone can help*
yeah i am just hoping i get the 2.2 update soon and it fixes it. so i am guess i am gonna have to wait until then and then take it from there. unless someone has some ground breaking suggestion. cause, i've been looking around and it seems like this is a problem thats been occurring as of recently.

I have sky raider 2.5.2 and my wifi keeps trying to connect then obtain ip address then disconnects and keeps trying all over again why please?
so since nobody gave me any good feedback i decided to take on the task like a blank canvas.
Step 1: Reinstalled original Kernel
step 2: Full Data/Cache Wipe
step 3: reuploaded all of my data from last backup...
it appears everything is working fine.WIFI works great!!! I need to double check wifi tethering though. if anyone is interested i can repost if tethering is working.

[APP][Wireless tether for root users] Now with more Infrastructure!!!

I had nothing to do with creating this. Just thought you guys would want to know that the lastest Wifi tether has been uploaded and it's supports Infrasructure Mode on 2.2 ROMs (Including CM6)
Major props to Harald Mueller for this! Don't hesitate to donate for all this guy's hard work!

They are the 3.0 versions.
Dude SWEET!!! i have to donate to him..
Question is the sprint hotspot suppose to activate with this??
Cause it did then i clicked activate sprint thingy and it reboot my phone. lol

Yep the app starts the sprint tether I think.
What did you hit to make it reboot? It did reboot once when I turned the tether off but I don't know if it's done that consistently.

Yeah, I don't think there is any way of getting around that. Small price to pay for some awesome Froyo tether
It's definitely just as fast or faster than mobile AP was.
do we still require a kernel that supports this? or has anyone gotten it to actually work. i know its an experimental build, but it didnt work for me. my lappy could see it, which is good because it cant even see ad hoc, but it failed connecting.
edit: hmmm, ya i see now its working for you. i still have old wifi tether installed, maybe thats it?
ok last time i mess with that, For heads up dont mess with any of the sprint stuff, it makes your phone reboot then makes it pop up an error when trying to connect, if you do just clear the app data and start over and it seems to work now

Worked perfectly to me and connected to my ipod touch no problem first try, and i had the old one installed, and then i uninstalled and still work,
Just a note dont mess with the sprint hotspot that pops up with it, it will just **** it up and you will have to clear data on the app or uninstall and reinstall again.

No. The app "talks" directly to the kernel. There is "something" implemented in the framework which detects that necessary kernel-setup-steps were performed.
It's not using the official hotspot-app/feature at all - only kernel-stuff (that's why it even works on CM6).

Hey thats cool, and it is faster then mobile ap, i just was streaming netflix on my ipod touch with this and it loaded at least 2-3 times faster.
Probaly faster considering this is the sprint hotspot its activating. too bad i can't use all those sprint settings lol, oh well as long as its fast works on 4g and infrastructure. YAY

Should be able to set all of the same settings in the tether APP
So this is the same as MobileAP(works on ps3)?
Is there any advantage MobileAp have over this?

Well i guess if i could unistall the sprint hotspot some how i could, avoid that, the only reason it pops up is because this app uses the official sprint hotspot stuff, as seen in the mobile ap thread, someone bought the subscription and helped this guy make this work.

You could try ... but I think that notivication is triggered by the "system-framework" and not by the hotspot-app. The key were some dmesg-dumps to see which parameters are passed to kernel. Since I know the bcm4329-driver a little bit it was not that hard ... but it took some time and around 70 mails to/from "formula84" (the guy who was very helpful with testing/logs).

HELP please...Problem regarding very poor signal after root?

Hello. I finally decided to root my galaxy s3 a few days ago. After I did so I downloaded some themes, ad block, etc. the normal stuff. The next day I started noticing something odd with the phone, such as very poor data connection (I can restart the phone and it will say I am on 4g for a minute or two although the connection doesn't say the same, but then it will either go to EDGE or give me no connection at all.) and poor network (says I have good bars but texts don't send often and take 10 minutes to receive; phone calls drop.}
I took the device to the AT&T store and got a new SIM card and that did nothing. 45 minutes of "support" did even less for me. I unrooted it, factory restored it, nothing.
I am desperate, if anyone would give me a workaround / fix, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Not sure. Did you check your APN settings? Did you flash any ROMS, modems or kernels at all?

Sorry I am not too experienced with rooting
APN looks fine...Then again I don't know what I am looking for lol. It says ATT PTA and it is checked.
I did have apex launcher I don't even know if that was a rooted app though lol..........

Thank you, now for the QCN..........I will be very happy when this is fixed lol.
So whenever I try to create a QCN I am unable to find it in the location I placed it, and I have hidden files visible. When I try to slide it to a different folder it says the file doesn't exist anymore. My phone has moved to "Unspecified" in devices and printers and I am unable to access any of its files even after trying to reinstall drivers multiple times (it gets stuck on the 5th one...network something...). Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve the problem with not being able to access my phone?
Ok I figured out how to access my phone and I think installing a new modem fixed it.....we will wait a couple hours and see.

A very weird problem.. I need some help with!

Ok, So I have an Epic 4g flashed to Cricket, I have made everything work(mms,test,talk,ect.) I have it on Android 4.1.2. My problem is I only get 3G and its not very dependable. I live in Phoenix, A.Z. Anyone have any ideas on what to do?

I don't use a MVNO, so I am not sure which regular troubleshooting steps would clear away your carrier settings. (I'm thinking using EFS Clear in Odin is the only concern, but that is sometimes needed for modem issues.)
Based off that rom's thread, you must be using the NS4G modem. Since your issue is with connectivity:
Perform a CWM backup of your current setup.
Flash an Epic modem rom and FC09 modem. (You can flash the modem using CWM. There's a thread in the dev forum w/ links.)
Try testing connection again.
I'd normally tell a Sprint Epic user to boot into FC09 multiboot and update profile & PRL, but I don't even think the PRL update would work for you. I'd then say, start from scratch by using Odin to flash FC09 with repartition checked. If they still had issues with connectivity, then I'd recommend using EFS clear in Odin when reflashing either just the FC09 modem or the entire FC09 tar.
Because you are on another carrier, I'm weary of suggesting you use Odin so quickly. If you haven't already, dive into your phone settings and document your carrier specific info you changed to get it working. This way, if you end up doing something that resets your original changes, then you can reconfigure it.
So give the suggestion that is listed above a try.
Since I'm very much a noob myself, I'm only tossing this out to possibly trigger an idea for someone else: Would perhaps the issue lie in the Build.prop or one of those similar files? I've poked around so many of them I can't remember which hold what tidbits of info... I know the Build.prop holds most of the primary carrier info, but I seem to recall another one that stored a bunch of info for a bunch of the other carriers (though that might have been for roaming and may not be of any help here).
*shrug* Otherwise, I's gots nothin' lol

Working Modified Verizon Hotspot

Here you guys, http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/development/mod-verizon-g3-hotspotmod-g2-apk-t2852152.
I'm using it to post this. Move it into System/App/HotSpotProvision folder, and set permissions. You don't have to execute any of the commands, there's an APK to download, at the bottom of the first post.
Works great, not sure if its needed but I renamed the hotspotprovision.apk that was already in the folder. I just changed the .apk to .bak and then set the permissions to RW-R-R on the hotspotprovisionVsG3mod.apk
Yeah, you should get rid of the original one. Renamed preferred.

For those who can follow directions better by seeing screenshots, I updated the above thread (with credits) utilizing screenshots on how to do this for the G4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g4/general/how-to-enable-native-hotspot-unlimited-t3166435
NICE
So I took a quick look at the G3 thread. It says if you're on the share everything plan, don't use this. Is that the case with this version or are we good to go?
You should not need this unless you have unlimited data. Verizon only restricts hot spot use (tethering) on unlimited data plans.

This is for us with unlimited data, should be pretty self explanatory.

This mod also saves those of us running a Verizon G4 on T-Mobile (or other carrier). Luckily this mod gets rid of VZW's BS. T-Mobile is a much more generous carrier than Verizon and now I can tether all of my 10GB data per month if I want to.
Thanks to OP and all of the people who worked to bring this great fix.
Is anyone else having random reliability issues with this?
Any of my devices that are tethered will periodically be able to get no data connection (no pings to 8.8.8.8 even), sometimes after 5 seconds of being connected. Sometimes after 20 minutes.
Sometimes, turning Hotspot off then On fixes it. Sometimes, I put my G4 into airplane mode and back, and it fixes it. Sometimes, I just plain reboot the phone and it fixes it.
Am I the only one experiencing it? I'm sure it's not related to this mod -- it's probably related to the original phone software. But it's quite undesirable.

I'm on T-mobile and I can't seem to get anything to connect to the Hotspot and get data. Need to know what I'm not doing correctly.
