This is how to enable free hotspot on the sprint variant of the G flex. Keep in mind this could brick your device. I do not even recommend doing it until we have a custom recovery available. However with that said I have provided the .tot and .dll files for all to use with the lg flash tool. So if you do have any problems hopefully you all can use the LG flash tool to return to stock. I have tested this and it does work.
steps to get free Factory Native Hot Spot:
1. Download this https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B6HYWZRx8JLsSTRzUm1kZVM4QW8&usp=sharing
2. Extract the file you just downloaded
3. If you didn't download it from your phone, then place the two files on your internal storage of your phone
4. Install a file explorer like Root Explorer that allows you to access the root of your system and allows you to edit factory framework files and apks.
5. Open the Root Explorer or whatever File explorer you are using and navigate to the internal storage and copy the Services.jar and Services.odex that you extracted from the zip above.
6. Navigate to Root and go to /System, then Choose the Framework folder. Make sure the system is mounted R/W
7. Now hit paste.Hit overwrite existing files. Once the two files are pasted, change the permissions so that they match the other framework file permissions.
8. Reboot your device.
9. If your device boots back up fine you are set to go.
Note: This mod only works if the phone has LTE or Ehrpd service. It is also known that sometimes you have to reboot the device to get tether to work properly again if Data stops being transmitted.
Once again, I am not responsible for anything you do to your phone. This can very easily brick your device if not done correctly. This is a chance you the user are taking.
As soon as we have a custom recovery, I will make this into a flashable zip for all to use.
Thank you to MetalBoy94 for figuring this out on the LG G2.
I have now fixed all the problems with the tether. It now works on 3g. The new link is in the steps now.
Can confirm, tether working. Thanks for doing this
Glad to see you over here viperboy.

On the att variant I could probably modify the apk itself. I believe should be the same as the g2. I will look into it for you.

Yeah, that's exactly what You have to do.
Maybe for more explanation.
Place the downloaded file on Your EXTERNAL sdcard (main folder- root folder)
1)Turn off Your phone.
2)Hold Power button+ Volume Up + Home button untill You see the Samsung N7000 logo (then release it)
3)Choose install zip from external sd card
4)Choose the downloaded file, accept.
5)Congratulations, You're done. Reboot Your phone.

The root method used in this thread only involves changing the kernel..which will not have any effect on the data.

That's what I did after turning off data while it was downloading the file to stop it and restarted my phone and it hasn't tried to download it again. But I've never dealt with this before so hopefully someone more experienced can chime in that would be great. Usually it ask for permission but mine just started doing it on its own.

I found out that you cannot use the SuperSU downloaded from the play store as it will just force close. Download the apk from this link: http://download.chainfire.eu/447/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r4.zip
SuperSU should be able to update itself successfully after you open the application. Afterwards, you can use the permanent unroot option from the settings and that's it! I'm going to go get my free smoothie now.

Yes. You will install the superuser apk that is floating around if you haven't already and then update the binaries after you open the app.
Then go to settings in the superuser app and do the permanent unroot. I also uninstalled the towel root app too just in case. Then reboot and you should be unrooted.
