Just a quick how to on unlocking the Hotspot on any version of tw including our new s7 and s7 edge. Root is Not needed
First you must get your msl
There are numerous ways to get it the best way is call sprint tech support and tell them "band 41 is disabled and you need to enable it. Your friends s5 gets it and he has sprint spark. Mines disabled" "i can tell because the app lte discovery shows it disabled" they will send you to advanced tech support who will give you the msl and walk you through enabling band 41. {just go along with him and say goodbye you got the msl now} or however you can get it
Next type in ##data# (on the phone dialer pad)
Click edit
Type in yoUr MSL
Go to apn settings
Select the first apn EHRPD and go to type
Change it from (default, mms) to (default, mms, dun) no spaces
Click the menu up top right and hit save
{hitting save is mandatory}
Next got to the lte apn
Go to type
And make the same changes also remember HIT SAVE
Now reboot and turn on your Hotspot
Tadaaaa a.
Note Hotspot will not work on airrave. without adding this:
to get it to work on airrave got to the same APN area as above with MSL
click add apn and name it APN2 EVDO_A
next go to APN below name and type n.ispsn
next go down to type and enter default ,mms,dun
next go down to protocol and check ipv6 and ipv4 both do this on the roaming protocol below it also
next go down to bearer and uncheck unspecified and check EVDO_A
last again in the top right corner hit menu save (saving is mandatory) At least this method. But it works flawlessly otherwise. Hopes this helps
Works on All tw roms
Enjoy
if you update your prl or profile youll have to add dun back to the apns it only takes a minute though
profile and prl updates reset the dun setting
enjoy my fellow s7 edge owners
UPDATE: this mod will not work if you've updated past APB5, to the newer APC5
that update blocked the apn settings even with the msl
TO use Hotspot on later firmware as soon as you boot up go straight to hotspot and start it. it will turn off turn it right back on and it will work but you have to reboot everytime you turn it off.
I recommend in setting up at the top you'll see edit (thats for the quick ones listed there)
add Hotspot to it. so when you start up its quicker to get too. this does work because android starts before sprints cockblocker can start up and check. enjoy either way
K i also figured out how to allow hotspot on airavre and most likely any connection. Gonna test roaming next gotta go to a roaming area first. Remember this is a no root method but will probably work on any rom sprint
I got it working on any connection even roaming. Ill post instructions soon.
Are you still working on this?

i got it all done just have to post instructions . works perfect on everything except roaming 1xrtt
ill try and do it today. very simple but there one hoop you have to jump through. not a big one though
no root need too
I have not done any extensive testing but have found that the no root method for other samsung devices works fine for me.
On phone dialer: ##DATA#
Enter MSL Code ( many say to get it during a chat session with sprint and say you need it to fix GPS, I just say I need it for development)
APN Settings -> APN2 EHRPD Internet-> APN Type
Change default,mms->default,mms,dun
Press menu in the upper-right and save
Do the same for APN2 LTE internet
Save
Reboot
Hotspot working. (Sprint)
Thank you for posting instructions; however, I have applied these changes without luck. (checked, double-checked.. then did it a third time to make sure of the settings).
Could it be that you're already provisioned for hotspot? I know there are a few newer Sprint plans that allow for a limited hotspot.
You are using the native hotspot application within the device, correct? Just making sure I'm not missing anything.
Thanks!

@nmcdonald96 just follow the new instructions i posted in the OP. remember to hit save and it does not work roaming
Yes, I am using the native hotspot. I am on the 1500 min, unlimited data plan, no hotspot included. Not sure why yours would not be working. When you retry the changes, are they back to the original settings or the way you changed them?
Success, my friend. Thank you for the how-to!

If you receive your phone in the mail and go online to sprint to activate it, once you get to this confirmation page it gives you your msl. They label it as Activation code.

Any suggestions on getting around Sprint's policy of not giving MSL's if the phone is under a contract? I had it activated it at Best Buy so no confirmation page.

So ive been working on getting this epic 4g to properly run on boost all weekend. Ive reread and rewrote NVs to the epic from my ingocnito donor phone a couple times. Matched numbers to CDMA Roam MiP ect... From what im reading everywhere ppl are having issues with 3G and mms working. Seems that im the only one having issues with texting and phone calls working. 3g and MMS are working fine. Does anyone know what settings or what steps im missing?? Ive refered to the guide from here and the one from youtube over and over again. Googled how to get sms and voice to wrk and nothing. Which step in the guides control the operation of voice and sms? This is beginning to drive me insane. I was able to make 1 phone call then like an hr later it didnt work anymore and hasnt since. Im running froyo ec05 rooted
Hey I got x1 working and sms u think u can help me fix my 3g, mms. And I'll help u with phone calls and texts? Guess we can team view if u want unless someone can help us both lol

boost is fun
I was getting the message error 16 when trying to make phone calls. What that means is I must have had my donor phone on at the same time as my epic. So boost suspended my account giving me that error. So I got a hold of someone who flashed phones to boost for a living and had him restart my service. Then I wasn't getting 3g after that. Quick fix was to update profile in settings/about phone. (Be on a stock rom when doing this I was on ec05 and was able to update to the latest android OTA.) Then presto 3g and everything else wrked. And about getting mms working delete the numbers in proxy. Can't remember exaxtly but in the development section on getting 3g and mms working in the op it explains how to get mms. Its easy.

nope you got it all wrong, error 16 means you dont have the correct provisioning to connect to the tower your phone is trying to connect to, this may sound funny but let it go to error 16 when making a call, then talk to the sprint service rep. tell them your account info Phone # and pin and they will reset your device and re-provision it.
for 3g and data to work you need to change the apn on most roms there will be an app named voice dialer, say "open A.P.N" click on sprint and edit it to change the MMSC address to mm.myboostmobile.com
Also talking to a sprint service rep they told me error 16 comes from modem/PRL pushing as well, try to update the modem to fc09 in the dev section, error 16 can be annoying sometimes when in low or dead service zones, because epic tried to use roaming, but boost disables it on their side.

Thats funny cause a rep did answer when i was trying to make calls. I just hung up though. The guy i talked to that helped me restore my service said error 16 is the cdma network recognizing there was two phones with the same esn # running at the same time. Maybe that would cause a error 16 too, Never the less its working again. Where were u two weeks ago when i was going crazy trying to figure it out lol. :cyclops:
So I used to tether alot on my s6 and had my service on a vacation plan and now ive reconnected it. Ive noticed now in the unlimited plan they offer 3gb hotspot will that now cut me off at 3gb, because I used to tether around 20gb a month. Thanks for any information
Question, How do I get tethering to work? I get a "You must subscribe" screen. I have tried xposed modules and playing around with the build.prop, deleting system apps that I suspected of causing this message. No go. HELP!

If you're rooted and have "dun" added to your APN settings it will not cut you off at 3gb. It will just appear as normal data usage under your Unlimited data info.

Can't is a strong word. You can do anything you put your mind too. You can simply ask Sprint, which I have never had a problem with. Or if you have an old device laying around still.. Reactivate the old device to your line, then switch back to your S6. You'll get the activation EMail containing your six digit activation number, or "MSL" Alternatively you could use Galaxy Tools.

I can vouch for this as well. Just tried it, and it is working perfectly. Thanks!
could somebody explain this whole thread to me please.
Am i to assume that i need root and some tweaking of permissions and what not? To acheive the unlimited internet with mobile hotspot? Does the phone come with a stock hotspot app? Or is one needed from the playstore?
My verizon phone note2 was never rooted and came with hotspot app. BUT, i was limited on the internet. Whereas, my sprint note2 had to be rooted and has the wifi tether app.
I've heard the coverage has improved. And from what i can tell with my sprint note2. That appears to be the case. I would really like to ditch verizon and get back to sprint. For half the price and unlimited. My verizon s6 appears to have better coverage then the note 2. And it has a stock hotspot app. I"m hoping to see improved coverage results with the sprint s6. And really want the unlimited internet. Preferably at the SPARK or 4g speeds that are available. ( I'm a truck driver )

Yay! That's all the was needed! But one Question, I accidentally enabled some sort of debugging using the Galaxy Tools APP I know it said (QCOM ONLY) at the end.and now anytime I boot it says silent log failed I tried doing a complete restore from a few days ago and it is still there.

Okay so I'm not sure if I'm posting properly to ask a question I know I quick to reply because I couldn't find out how to post LOL. Anyway I apologize for messing up the flow if that's what I've done. I'm a bit confused because my Sprint LG G5 has WiFi hotspot and I see the options for both bluetooth tethering and USB tethering. I have a young son and stay-at-home wife and we live in BFE with no internet access. So I have unlimited LTE on my G5 however Sprint limits the amount of shared or Hotspot usage. And the limit seems to be reached fairly quickly. I don't need a ton but I love for my family to be able to watch a little bit of Netflix in the evening and for my wife and son to at least be able to browse the internet maybe watch some YouTube on the old Galaxy S6 that they have at least when I'm home and my phone is with me. It's pretty tough to all watch a Netflix movie on a phone screen. So is there any ways around this hotspot limit? Also how exactly do I USB tether I know that must sound silly. I understand that I can have type-c coming out of my phone and then on the other end it would be a regular USB type A or whatever it is so how do I then connect that to something such as say the Galaxy or is that something that would only be used in the case of tethering to a computer which has normal USB? Thanks a ton for any and all advice and help it is greatly greatly appreciated this site is awesome and I'm sure once I get the hang of navigating it a bit better I will love it even more. Thanks in advance--j

USB tethering is for a PC only. Going into your APN settings with the hiddencallmenu.apk (located in the G5 unlocking thread in the General section) and adding "dun" to the APN type with a comma after the last entry in that field (before you add dun) should help you to bypass Sprint's limit on hotspot. Also reboot after doing all of that.

Thanks haven't had time to answer many questions lately.
I figured we should have a thread to discuss working on fixing mobile data on cdma E4's to keep the chatter out of the rom threads. @CodyF86 I'm able to get full signal bars and even get it to say sprint or boost for the carrier. I just can't get it to actually connect. I tried adding overlays for the radio access families: https://github.com/aaronmarch/andro...mmit/c9325b3a56426f4a49af8aa072b075549ab99546
I also changed up the init_moto.cpp like the init_surnia.cpp we have for surnia with only the boost info for now: https://github.com/aaronmarch/andro...mmit/ca313bab8097a971e88ecdcfd8495a0545d9d80e
No go. I've tried changing up the apns, completely different apns, the stock apns, mvno-slayer...
Any ideas? Do you think we can get it, or should we try to call in reinforcements?
https://test-it.us/apns-conf.xml
Here is the stock E4 apns-conf.xml file unfortunately these values must matched what is built into apps/common/res/apns.xml, so you'd have to include the apn file i linked to /etc/apns-conf.xml and make that match what you build lineage with or use sql editor.
I'm working on it as we speak tho. I did randomly have a 1x data connection earlier lol. Well get it; it should be simple. WIll keep you posted.
And for whatever reason being able to edit and save apns if you edit the mcc mnc and have them not disappear seems to have reverted. It was working for a month or so not to long ago.
apn carrier="Sprint"
mcc="311"
mnc="870"
type="default,supl,mms,fota,cbs,ia,wifi"
protocol="IPV4V6"
roaming_protocol="IPV4V6"
mmsc="http://mm.myboostmobile.com"
mmsproxy="oap7.sprintpcs.com"
mmsport="80"/>
Is the new boost /sprint LTE apn.
I added the wifi under type even tho boost blocks wifi calling atm via the phones imei or whatever, but sprint allows wifi calling can also change name of apn carrier to sprint, but seems like lineage roms call it sprint regardless and that doesn't really matter.

Yeah, it shouldn't be too hard because it's reading the sim card. It's almost there. I completely forgot about about making the apns match, I knew I was forgetting something, lol.
@mightysween and some others for the Moto G got cdma working back then....

Yeah, me and CodyF86 and mainly Gabrielle M, who I was thinking about when I mentioned calling in reinforcements. I'm pretty sure it's just a matter of getting the apns correct, so it's not as bad as falcon was back then.

Yes. I haven't able to get even the 1x but CodyF86 said he did.
Check out "SysLog"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tortel.syslog
This is a quick way to pull a log for people without quick access to a PC. Just tick modem bc it covers ril/sim connections
This isn't 100% perfect but it is a good place holder for sending info and it has a scrubber to clear off personal data. But it takes longer.

That's what I usually recommend and use when I want to get some logs away from my pc.

It's odd because I've gotten 3G to work without even touching a thing. 1 day I got no data and the next I'm suddenly connected. After flashing the test zip in the Aquarios thread, it stopped working. I reflashed the ROM in hopes it'll return but no luck so far
On the lineage ROM I get 3G when I reset network settings and enable and disable airplane mode for some reason. Not sure if any of you guys have experienced the same thing with that ROM. I will be tinkering with various things to see if anything comes from it.

For future reference, please don't talk about a rom other then the one the thread is for. In reference to your AquariOS comment in the Lineage thread. It's kinda rude and against the rules.

I am on the stock rom of the unlocked Amazon version. Phone is on the Sprint Free Service for a year plan so I figured I would tinker around with *#*#DATA#*#* because I was trying to figure out if CA was enabled because it's the Qcom Snapdragon version. I tried changing the LTE Band Priority. Band 41 is strong in my area and I have a Magic Box which amplifies it to be useable indoors. When I changed the Band Priority the LTE signal COMPLETELY dropped. If I switch settings to 3G or 1x I'll get signal bars. When I first turn on the phone it will connect to LTE for less than a second and then completely drop.
I'm guessing when I changed the band setting (I may have made 1 small change on the APN screen but can't remember) that it made an edit to the APN, which seems impossible to get to the regular APN screen like you easily can with GSM carriers.
I'm a newbie but I've searched everywhere trying to find a fix without rooting (since I just got the phone a month ago it would be easier to get a warranty replacement at this point). Ultimately what I'm saying is that it seems whatever the issue you are having with the custom mod must be similar to what I accidentally did to my phone. Maybe that will help narrow down what exactly is triggering your phone to not have data. :cyclops:
If this is a "duh, we knew that already" I apologize in advance! I browse tons of threads on here but have never posted so I was thinking maybe my mistake could help figure out someone else's issue

Ouch. Okay :/
Here is what I could muster for compare/contrast with a logcat @amarc78. hope it helps?
I wasn't home to add this note. But it was done with the same combo for the original alpha you sent me
SS:
One build I was using had mobile data problems and resetting the APN to default helped connect without manually putting in an APN maybe that might work for some.

I also believe it may have something to do with ##SCRTN# in stock, then flashing over. Because going from Lineage with 1x to stock makes my phone go 3G only until I use ##SCRTN# then it fixes the data properly to LTE
(This has happened everytime with Amarc's Alpha Lineage OS)
Hello Everyone,
So we finally said bye-bye to sprint and are trying to use our Sprint LS991 G4s on sprint.
We are on android 6.0, software ZVB, and are unlocked.
We can make calls, use sms, interenet, but MMS will not work.
I have been using HiddenMenuCall apk and trying every configuration/ guide/ apn settings I can find but still no luck. I did find where someone say they set there phone to "global" and they got mms to work, but that post was years old with no explanation.
If any of you know the magic settings needed to get this to work I would greatly appreciate it!
Additionally, it seems that something I did changed my cell status from LTE to E ( I never saw that before in the years I have had the phones)
Also, in my newly created T-Mobile APN, the phone keeps trying to rewrite the MMSC and MMS Proxy to sprint ones.

People that I tagged - sorry if this bothers you. Please take it as a compliment. From years of reading it seems you are the best of the best with this phone and any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you ALL!

I can't remember Mate it's been forever since I've had a g4. I would attribute both issues to the apn not being set. So that would imo be the next step or thing to look into is why the apn is not sticking.

Wow! Thanks for the quick response!
I know its an old phone - but, they are still working....
I am not sure why the new APNs are not sticking either. I am trying to tackle that. Every other thing I type in the APN sticks except MMSC and MMSProxy... and surprise, surprise, the mms is what is giving me issues!
Either way - thank you for everything MadScientist. Over the years your posts have helped me and other ( I am sure) tons!
Happy New Years Mate!

I used to use mine in att carriers so I can't really recall what I did. I know I used the hidden menus as the main where ask greyed out.

So after fooling with certain options I can send and receive MMS only if BOTH wifi is on and I have a LTE connection. Strange, huh?
If wifi is off, it does not work
If wifi is on and no LTE, it does not work
No wifi, does not work
Any ideas anyone???

A lot of carriers have opted to be able to send MMS over wifi so that's that. You might try a 3rd party app. In the past when I couldn't get apn proper I would use textra. might even try the newest android messenger. A lot of them have turned on this rcs messaging so that may work.
Normal as long ads the apn is setup day like mine is name. Internet. Apn NDO. as long as those are set LTE sometimes will work. I remember there being a hidden menu and we could set the apn in that one. But not the normal settings apn menu. I don't remember the dialer. Some one had a app lg hidden menu or something. It's in the sprint lgg4 sim unlock thread. Or should be. That's how I did it on mine

That explains the wifi working- weird that I can't get it t work over cell.
Since it works over wifi, I know the phone is capable....grrrrrr! I am sure it is some setting somewhere!
Thank you for the link to the hidden menu apk . I actually found it linked in another post of yours from years ago, lol:highfive:

So I am wondering if I apply MellowMallow ZVB Rom if any settings will be changed that will make things work. Maybe the International version (although I do not know if that will mess things up). I am also wondering if that will get visual voicemail working without using tmobile's app.

I don't know mine was always on zv8 I never updated. I still had root at the time. Root wasn't available on zvb
