Force Enable Internet Connection Sharing

Hey, everyone.
I just bought an ATT Samsung Focus S i937 off of eBay. It was locked when I received it, so I plunked down 25 bucks and unlocked it. I'm using it on Telus and so far all is well, except for WiFi connection sharing/tethering.
When I try to enable internet sharing, I get a message saying "Connection not shared. To enable tethering on this device go to (ATT's website) or dial 611."
Basically, it sounds like I need to have an ATT tethering plan to enable this on my phone, but since I'm not an ATT customer, there's not mch I can do.
I was wondering if there is a workaround for this. Please let me know!
Thanks,
Taylor

firstly DO NOT INSTALL THE SAMSUNG UPDATE!! and if updating the OSan have it unlocked already read This Website and use the relock prevent + edit your hosts file
Absolutely back up your device at every stage using This Guide
So follow these steps
unlock the device Here follow the instructions which includes installing the diagnostic tool and install XAP deployer or XAP handler Here or Here With the XAP file deployer in the WP7 SDK
Then install WP7 Root Tools Here
Then install WP Bazaar market Here
Open Root Tools, and give Bazaar higher level privileges
Find WinTT on the Bazaar market and install it
Open Root Tools, and give WinTT higher level privileges
you may need to restart to get WinTT working
go through WinTT and turn on ICS
Done

Wow thanks.
That's very complete. One questions though... I didn't mention this, but I am a registered WP7 dev and can unlock this device using my dev access. Can I load any of the XAPs directly instead of having to crack my phone?
Thanks,
Taylor

Yeah, you have limited access to installing xaps, but you will still need to interop unlock and use root tools to give higher level access to WinTT, so your best starting from scratch,

Unable to understand the process
I have purchased an Samsung Focus S i937 locked to AT&T. I have purchased an unlock code and have successfully unlocked my phone. Im also unable to use the Internet Sharing feature of my phone. Firstly, I am not a technical guy hence im unable to understand the process stated by you. Secondly, I wanted to find out that does following the process given by you, expose my device to get BRICKED as I am able to understand that involved a JAIL BREAK of the device. Does it have any other side effects.? Like effecting the radio signals or any other such problem.
Thanks

ok, first things first.
You won't brick your device, at worst a hardrest all remove all changes you can do, our device, the focus S, isn't fully unlocked, so there are limitations to the amount of damage you can do by arseing it up. With that behind us you have to learn what you are about to do, there isn't a simple way.
So, start by knowing these basics, then read through the guide, any bits you don't understand feel free to ask.
1, AT&T locked your internet connection sharing, so you must re enable that
2, To enable ICS, you must make changes to the registry
3, Microsoft locked you out of making changes to the registry, so you must gain access to do it
4, AT&T left a security hole allowing us to make changes to allow us to change things like registry
5, using that hole we can install software that will give us more access, that software can then allow us to remove the AT&T lock on ics
These things you must do, there is no magic answer, there has been some short cuts made but this in some cases has had a negative effect, such as losing 3g, doing as I said will not have any effect on your signal or anything else

Have you guys noticed any of the following....
issues after the above procedures were applied (a big thanks to all the brainiacs who know how to hack this stuff):
Slowed Internet Connection
Lower Strength of GPS Signal
Less accuracy and trouble sometime finding location
Less accuracy while using maps because of the above statement
Not complaining, just curious. Thanks to all.:good:

theres nothing in the code that should have done that, the XML import only fiddles with interop unlock
im not 100% sure what WTT changes but I know the entries it should be fiddling with and shouldnt make any difference, although its been suggested the ICS code does mess with the 3G signal ive not heard anything at all to suggest that it effects GPS as well.
See This Thread for details, ive copied the relevant bits here but all thanks should go to those on the original thread
Option 1
---- 11.3. If your device is not locked to a specific operator, you can use the Samsung Network Profile app (for 1st generation) or Wireless Manager (for 2nd generation)
-------- 11.3.1. Uninstall the Samsung Network Profile / Wireless Manager app.
-------- 11.3.2. Download and install the latest version of the Samsung Network Profile / Wireless Manager app from the Marketplace.
-------- 11.3.3. Open the Samsung Network Profile / Wireless Manager app.
-------- 11.3.4. Select a different Network Operator.
-------- 11.3.5. Now Select your own Network Operator again.
-------- 11.3.6. Exit the Network Profile / Wireless Manager app.
Option 2
Resolve Samsung connection problems
A lot of Samsung owners have complained here about connection problems. They blamed Interop Unlock, but apparently this has more to do with enabling "Internet Connection Sharing" than with "Interop Unlock". You should be able to recover the connection, apply this:
1. Start Diagnosis App> *#32489# ***DOES NOT WORK ON i937***
2. Tap "Back" 2 times to go back to Phone Control
3. Choose: [7] Network Control
4. Choose: [1] GFC
5. Choose: [3] Setting Cancellation
Wait for it to say success, then reboot.
GPS is a completely passive function, I don't have a problem with this, HSDPA may have issues for reasons unknown but using this method doesn't effect mine, perhaps its carrier specific..

Thanks for the info. I'll see if it helps. Just as FYI, the code *#32489# does not appear to work on the i937.

indeed, so it would seem, many of the diagnostic codes have been disabled which is a pain, even the ones that are left don't always do what you expect them to do

What if I have already updated to version 7.10.8773.98, is there any other possible way? I don't need any other features. Thanks in advance.

If you have updated the OS and NOT the samsung firmware then reapply the windows break interop unlock, be sure to keep it off the inernet by disabling all coms and then apply the relock prevent xap. if you have applied the Samsung firmware and didn't have it already unlocked or you didn't have a back up, your screwed

First of all I just want to say thanks that you're trying to help me, but I just didn't understand many things u said, I'm not really into technical stuff, but I'll tell you what info I have, in hope of u helping me better.
I don't live in the US and I bought the phone from ebay and it was unlocked and it works perfectly over 2 carriers here in my country, and I have never encountered any problems with it except for the internet sharing feature.
And about 3 months ago the phone notified my to a system upgrade from version 7.10.7740 to version 7.10.8107 then immediatly to version 7.10.8773.98. now I'm guessing these are OS firmwares not samsung software.
but I've noticed something, when I setup my phone for the first time I used a US hotmail account but before I connect to the internet the ICS feature worked, but once I signed in it gave me the dial 611 or go to att.com/mywireless message.
So I am guessing if I restore the device and sign in with a non US hotmail account may result in the feature to be unlocked. The only thing keeping me from trying this because I'll have to redownload all my apps again and reorganize my contacts again. if there's a way to avoid that or someone has tried it please do tell.
Again thanks for your reply.

im afraid to say your firmware is locked,
2103.11.10.1 is unlock-able, im pretty sure anything from xxxx.12.xx.x upwards is locked down solid
I don't suppose you made a backup? if you haven't then there is nothing you can do
the Samsung firmware update was released as a separate update at the same time as the tango 8773 build, it tried to install on mine after the 8773 build

Found a solution =D

I'm really sorry for the late reply, was busy at work. but during that time I might have found a "Glitch" or a workaround to enable it and I have tested it many times and it works.
Well there are two ways:
1st one which is a sure thing:
1) Turn off the phone, then turn on again.
2) Once the phone is turned on, immediately go to settings>internet sharing and turn it on and BOOM there you go :laugh:
* I have tried this method over a dozen times and it works every single time
** The point here is that you have to enable it immediately after the phone is turned on, I think it happens because the phone doesn't have enough time to send the info. to the servers to know that it's not enabled by default.
2nd one which was succesful over 75% of the time:
1) Go to Settings>cellular>Turn Off, Wait like 5-10 seconds and turn on again.
2) Go to Internet sharing> Turn on, and enjoy :fingers-crossed:
***I don't know why do they work or how, may be it's a Glitch like I said before but the point is they do work
I hope that I've helped someone out there and Thanks to everyone who tried to help me

nice find, ICS is disabled locally only, it doesn't have anything to send, the only thing I can think of that makes sense is that the service hasn't been initialised and doesn't call the reg entries that disables ICS, by turning it on manually ASAP it perhaps catches it out. if you enable it, then disable it, can you still enable it again in that session or do you need to restart?

Well I tried that, but there is no definite answer to it, sometimes I turn it on and off on and off many times without needing to restart and throughout the whole day, and sometimes it works once and doesn't at the second try. So it all comes down to luck, but still better than nothing
Now the thing is I'm afraid that when the 7.8 update comes, they would fix this glitch =D Haha.

[Q] Nokia 930 can't connect with Onedrive. Hard reset doesn't work.

Hi,
I've bought today a Lumia 930. But there is very serious problem with it... I can't connect to the Onedrive. It shows me, that I haven't internet connection and try again later.
I tried to do some hard/factory resets and login with three different microsoft accounts, but it doesn't work.
See some pictures please in attachment.
And one more thing with my broken 930... I can't do backup - "Wystąpił błąd, prosze spróbować ponownie" means in my language: "An Error occured. Please try again later".
Is it some kind of serious software bug, which I can only fight with warranty?
Could you try to help me, please?
Greetings,
Peter.

Hey, of course yes. I should be an idiot to post on XDA, when my WiFi simply doesn't work.
It's problem only with Onedrive and backup copy.
Now, I'm trying to do a recover via "Nokia Software Recovery Tool". It's very last chance for this phone in my opinion.

Of course I've verified. From windows7 and from another Lumia (520 exactly). It's very serious problem, because this Onedrive and backup are key feature in WP 8.1

I suggest then, that you take it back to the store and swap it for another, and check OneDrive before you leave. I bought a 930 at the weekend, and OneDrive works just fine for me, so it's not a problem with the OS.
With such a new unit, it's probably not worth wasting time trying to debug it... Just swap it.

[Q] Is it just me, or is the Xposed repo down?

I have been trying to download xposed modules (and even the latest xposed framework) all day. Each time it just sits there "Download waiting...." forever till it fails. I just tried to download one of the module apk files via my desktop browser, and it is sitting there for about 4 minutes not "connecting".
So far I do not see anyone else complaining about this so I do not know what is up.

Darkrift,
I think we were typing our posts about the same time-)) I too have experienced this issue. I've been unsuccessful at downloading any updates today. It does seem the download links are dead like the storage locations are not responding.

Works fine here.

When I switch to mobile data network on AT&T it downloads just fine. This is ridiculous, I've never had restrictions on this ISP before. I'm about to call cox right now. I don't pay $55 a month for some fascist ISP to tell me what I can and can't connect to, especially when it's not even a site that is not breaking any copyright laws, this isn't China.

I have, for years. They block high profile irc networks dns by redireting it to their own server (which then auto joins your user to a channel and tries to run a lot of botnet commands to uninstall a botnet client in the event you are compromised). I used to have to deal with this a lot years ago when I was on irc frequently. They will deny it, but they have been doing stuff like that for years.
Then again, it could be some sort of dns issue that will work itself out.

I'm having the same issue here in South East US. To make a long story short, I couldn't download any modules so I thought maybe to uninstall my Xposed app and reinstall. Now I can't even install the Xposed Framework. Like you said, it just times out. I just rooted a new phone and I desperately need my Xposed! I have the APK saved to my device and can reinstall from their however this doesn't help because I still can't install modules through the framework. Any suggestions???

I'm not sure what support you think anyone can provide. The repo works fine for most people, indicating that there's nothing wrong with it and the problem is almost certainly something at your end.

It just strange that this is happening and I'm reading reports where people other than me seem to be having the same issue. I guess I was hoping for some direction or trouble shooting suggestions from XDA forums as I honestly wouldn't know of a better place to search for assistance. Is there any suggestions that might help me back track the issue. I've honestly tried everything I know. I purposely side loaded two third party apps and those installed flawlessly. It's only the xposed framework application and it's modules I'm having trouble with... timing out and not installing. The modules I have pre existing on my SD installed fine, it's only when trying trying to download from within the Xposed framework that doesn't install. I show an update available for one of my existing modules and it won't even update.... same thing, it just times out. Again, any assistance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

This seems to be a network related issue, rather than a problem with the repo. I have updated several modules over a couple of days with no issues and this problem only seems to be affecting a small amount of people.
Are you using the same internet provider as others in the thread? I can only think they blocked it as GermainZ said earlier. Perhaps a visit to the support forum of your provider might help, even to check if anyone else reported this issue.

Same exact problem in Buffalo, NY. Was working fine yesterday.

[Q] Flash Lumia 1020?

Hi
I been having problems with using my "internet sharing" on my lumia 1020(keep telling me I need a data connection in order to use this feature....eventhough I do have). I asked around and one person asked if my lumia 1020 was from Rogers Canada which it was. Eventhough my phone is unlocked, this person is saying that the Rom on my phone is still Rogers and it is most likely the reason. He suggested getting rid of the rom, though I am not sure how to do this. I seen some posts here on how to flash but nothing for 1020, I am wondering if there is some guide for the 1020 as I really want step by step guide for my phone as I don't want to screw up.

Do you have the problem with both, wifi and mobile data connections? And did you try by connecting to a PC via USB (= using that connection)?
Also, why shouldn't it work with that particular ROM, did he explain that any further?

How I understand internet sharing works, is that it shuts off wifi and you can only use your data connection. It tries to shut it off and then I get this error ""there's no celluar data connection to share right now. check your cellular settings and signal, and try again"
Even though I can surf the internet before and after that message, so it is not my data connection. This guy thinks said he seen this happen on other phones and the he thinks the reason is that Rogers has like software locked that feature so that it only works with their Sims and that it is reject my Sim from another provider. He thinks that if I would reflash my computer with the Rogers rom then that check would not exist and it would work.
I am not sure what you mean by connecting to to a PC via USB. I can connect my phone to my computer and browse the file system of the phone, I just can't hotspot or really send MMS messages.

Oh, I thought you were talking about a different feature.
Yeah, you create a wifi hotspot from your data connection. What I said doesn't make sense then.
In general, you could also try a hard reset instead of fiddling with ROM, that's way safer. However, you will lose all your data on the device, so make sure you backup everything beforehand.

I once had an issue with a settings page on my Lumia 800 back in WP7 days. Everything else failed, but a hard reset fixed it.

Is there any backup program to backup like your titles and stuff or will I have to setup all this up. I think my apps are backed up?

Wind Mobile
I don't know what "Access Point" is. I am trying to use settings -> internet sharing - switching sharing from "off" to "on"
Yes calling works, texting works(besides mms texting which seems to work maybe 50% time)
Yes Data works, I can surf the net, use any data required. Only thing is "internet sharing" thinks it is off.

Search the internet for "Nokia access point app" you will get a link to the windows store to download the app. Download and install it. It fixes internet sharing.

Yea.....I already googled it, as I stated in a previous post my MMS only sends 50% of the time. I tired most of the ones I found on the internet but still not working.

Works for me. Talk to wind and tell them you have an galaxy 3 or some other phone the sell, the them you need your phone reprovisioned (it just means the renew your cell network connection)

Microsoft is shutting down WP8.1 Store. How can we unlock our phones now?

As you know, the WP8.1 Store will be closed December 16 2019, and we will no longer be able to download apps.
For some time the Store has been a mess and people are already unable to download apps. Yes, even before the closing date.
The question is: How can we unlock our phones now?
The unlocking methods relies on downloading apps from the Store, like "Preview for Developers", "MixRadio", "HERE Maps" and File Managers.
People who didn't unlock their phones are hopeless? The ones that did unlock and need to reflash the .ffu are hopeless too?
EDIT: Just read about Windows Phone Internals, but some devices are missing in the supported list, including mine.
EDIT2: Some roms have MixRadio installed by default, so it is possible to easily unlock them.
Also downloaded Windows Phone Internals, and to my surprise, my phone is in the supported list (inside the software), although it is not listed at the site.
EDIT3: I got too focused on having the required apps available from the store that I forgot the most important part/tool to unlock the phone: The Windows Phone Developer Registration 8.1 tool. Unfortunately the last time I tried to unlock my phone (some days ago) I wasn't able to, and received an error.
Going by comments, other people have the same issue.

Hi,
Please, Microsoft store for WPhone with W8.1 does not work last days, one month before 16.12.2019! Why? Now, on my Lumia 630 Store does not work! Does it work with you? Thank you.

Nope.

It is not working for a lot of people.
I'm afraid at this point they might not have any incentive to fix this. They can wait until the store closes in one month and forget about it.

I did a reset to the phone (Lumia 1020) and now I'm stuck without anything and with 0000 updates!! error c101a006 since Tuesday!!
if they won't fix the store, is there any way to build WP8.1 Denim CFW with all the stuff I need pre-installed, like I did with Symbian ? I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!! HELP!!!!!!!

I can't. My phone is not supported.
I would guess that the majority having this issues are using devices that cannot be upgraded to Windows 10.

Issue is these methods rely on the phone being developer unlocked but today I'm facing an issue where the Windows Phone SDK registration tool refuses to unlock my Lumia 520 on a different CV ROM. Not sure what the issue is since I successfully unlocked it twice in the past couple of days. I know this because I'd installed the CustomWPSystem_0700.xap and applied CustomPFD_0003.xap successfully both times.
But today, it just refuses to go beyond ""Error logging into the Windows Phone Dev Center. Check your Microsoft Account credentials and try again"" and I've no idea why. Funny thing is, it would give the same error on previous tries but the phone would be unlocked!
I understand the WPI method but it feels like overkill with higher risks to do all that for just a few registry changes to trigger updates.
And I don't have much use of a boot loader unlocked or rooted device as of today. Research didn't bring up much help either so I'm thinking of installing the last WP SDK from VS 2015 and see if it does the job.
But yes, though Microsoft says they don't have any immediate plans to remove the updates for the phones, the methods of getting those updates might become problematic.

I am facing the same problem. That might be gone for good, unfortunately.
