No Hotspot after rooting. Please help!

OK, so I've been trying to fix this for a while now wondering if it's something that I've done wrong but with no success.
Here's my problem.
I rooted my S3 mini (GT-I8190N) running on 4.1.2 using this guide. Everything worked great, had no problem using it to root the phone at all.
After I removed all the 3rd party pre-installed crap -facebook- and finished setting up the phone the way I like it, I noticed that the hotspot was no longer working!
So I tried using hotspot apps, re-rooting, resetting and even leaving it off for a while just to see if anything would happen. It did not.
After looking around a few people have had this issue but I've not been able to find a working fix for mine. Could anyone point me in the direction of one please or advise me on how to fix this as I use it a lot.
Thanks.

Nevermind. Fixed it, found a working recovery file and used ODIN to patch it.

Wait, no still not working. :/

[Q] WiFi tether app? (Rooted w/Towel Root, 4.4.2)

Is there a reliable app or even one that works to tether wirelessly if you're rooted with the temporary TowelRoot method? I'm on KitKat 4.4.2. All the reviews on the Play Store for the various WiFi apps have negative reviews. I don't want USB tethering either. Need it for my Nexus. Any help would be great.

Have you tried FoxFi?

I have. Unfortunately I get the message:
"Your carrier has blocked WiFi mode in latest phone update. Please use USB mode or bluetooth mode instead. "

use the xposed module "Moto X Hide Carrier for 4.4+" it hides the carrier label in the status bar as well as enabling native tethering.

Ok awesome. Now my only question would be.. Will xposed modules work with something as finicky as TowelRoot? I'm gonna give it a shot now until I'm able to get unlocked. (fingers crossed)

i thought towel root doesn't work on moto x? i had been using the jcase root method, and on occasion i have lost root when enabling subsequent xposed modules, but they work fine if i reroot and enable them again.

It is. It's not the greatest and a bit unreliable at times, but it's working for my Titanium Backup and root version of Greenify.
To find out if the xposed module installed successfully, how can I test tethering? I'm not sure where native tethering is located.

[SOLVED] HotSpot Broken After Rooting

So I did a factory reset and flashed the rooted H811 system image exactly as per instructions from the other thread and everything has been working flawlessly, except my HotSpot. When I try to turn on the Mobile Hotspot, I get a pop-up saying "Unfortunately, WiFi has stopped" and the ON/OFF toggle for the HotSpot stays off. Then, when I try to turn it on again, this time I get a toast notification saying "Activity is not exist this device." So it looks like it's looking for an application that's missing?
EDIT: SOLVED! Do not freeze the Upsell (com.lge.upsell) application, as that's what HotSpot uses to verify your tethering status with T-Mobile, as well as display the first time use tutorial.
It has nothing to do with recovery. It was my own mistake.

No issues for me so far with hotspot. I even have all the apps you listed frozen in TB.

Mine works fine also. Not sure what the problem could be.

now that we are rooted i am using wifi tether router by fabio and it works great. also bypasses tmobiles limit which i believe is 2 gbs or so of tethering. costs 2 bucks but imo its totally worth it

I just tried it on my G4 and didn't have any issues. I'm also on tmobile and rooted.

Okay, thanks for confirming, guys.

I figured out what was wrong. I tried flashing TWRP 2.8.7.0 using Flashify (as per instructions in the post!) and I think it flashed the recovery to the wrong partition, wiping its contents. I guess it was a hidden system partition that contained something that HotSpot needed.
I KDZ'd back to stock without wiping user data, then flashed the rooted image, and HotSpot works!
So... DO NOT USE FLASHIFY FOR NOW!

Same here with no issues.

I can't seem to find the com.lge.upsell application, I'm getting this error after typing:
adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/global --bind name:s:tether_dun_required --bind value:i:0
I just want my unlimited tethering back ;__;

Flashed 10n update on my rooted H811, no problems with hotspot. If the other thread you're referencing is from here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g4/development/rom-g4-h811-10n-stock-rooted-rom-t3188858), it has been updated with a hotspot fix on a separate file.

restoring com.lge.upsell, fixed it for me as well. Thanks,

I have the same problem! After rooting (with 20p debloated unlocked roam), the hotspot is not working with the message "Activity is not exist this device." (verbatim!). The interesting part is that when I installed FoxFi, it worked! Of course it stopped after 15 minutes as it was a freeware. When FoxFi was running, I could see that native Hotspot app showed my mac as a tethered device and everything seemed very natural (besides the blue FoxFi logo on top). On uninstalling FoxFi, native HotSpot app started giving the same error message. I could not find Upsell (com.lge.upsell) app or apk on my phone. Please advise - I would like to continue using the native HotSpot app with my T-Mobile connection. Many thanks!

Can you share this APK please?
UPDATE: Went to recovery mode using flashify, downloaded zips using Android File Transfer from my mac, Flashed Stock 20p, followed by Extreme 20p (both flashed at the same time) and voila! Tether is back to work and I am giving this update through my phone's tether connection
The speeds are not so great, but I am tempted to blame it on T-Mobile and not on ROM:
The whole research and finding the zip files for 20p took the majority of time. Otherwise, the download itself should take <20 minutes, transferring files <5 min, flashing another 10 minutes and restart of the phone another 5 minutes or so (it is a dirty flash - it only bothered to update some 5 apps!)
I think it is corrupted ROM (I positively remember there was a glitch for whatever reason and i lost all my data - probably the glitch deleted relevant tether files as well). But now it is much easier!!!

Many thanks y'all!!!

glad you found your way to it.
this was the issue I had. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62060665&postcount=8.
I had uninstalled com.lge.upsell as part of my own try to de-bloat and that was a step too far.
The 1st link you point to is the rom I used and the radio fix and hotpot/tether fix as well.

XPosed Breaks WiFi Calling on 10n

Is your WiFi Calling staying connected after updating to 10n? Mine was working fine on 10h, but on 10n it disconnects after 5-10 minutes with a REG99: Unable to connect error and won't reconnect until I reboot the phone.
I did all the troubleshooting steps with T-Force: factory reset, got a new SIM card, got an update sent to the SIM card twice, factory reset again, and no dice.
Is anyone else experiencing this on 10n? I'm on stock rooted 10n (odex).
EDIT: It's XPosed. As long as the XPosed Framework is installed (even with no modules), WiFi Calling is completely broken.

I was getting the same error on 10N. I called and was transferred to Tech Support. They updated my E-911 info and was back up in running in less than 5 minutes

Not the case for me and others are trickling in with the same issue

So I rooted my phone a little more than a week ago and then flashed MicroMod777's rooted stock 10n ROM a few days later. Up until this point, WiFi calling was working. I then flashed the Xposed framework v72, downloaded some modules, and installed them. I realized that WiFi calling was no longer available and would give me the classic REG99 error, unable to connect. Another user on MicroMod777's 10n stock ROM thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...m-g4-h811-10n-stock-rooted-rom-t3188858/page9) had the same problem, though another user responded that Wifi calling was working fine with the 10 ROM and Xposed v72.
I uninstalled Xposed and I could immediately access WiFi calling, so it seems that Xposed is conflicting with the 10n stock ROM's WiFi calling. Same results with v73. Users who are getting WiFi calling to work on Xposed, did you get the official 10n update OTA or flash a rooted ROM? And what version of Xposed are you running?

I was having the issue on a totally stock, factory-reset phone with nothing installed.
T-Force opened a ticket with network engineering, supposed to be resolved by tomorrow.

Interesting.... I wonder why. I have Xposed installed on my Note 4 also and WiFi Calling works perfectly fine there. Might be a specific module causing it.
Come to think of it, when I factory-reset the phone, Xposed was still installed into the system partition, since it's not an app, but a modification to system files.
I will have to re-test after explicitly uninstalling Xposed. It would be a total bummer if Xposed is the problem. And if it is, I hope it's just a specific module that I can disable. I'd hate to lose YouTube AdAway and a few others.

Looks like we need to try and get some logs for rovo and hopefully he can easily fix it...
Scrap that! Download SELinux mode changer and change to permissive...instantly popped up and stayed connected! Great news

Nope, neither works. WiFi Calling is still busted while Xposed is installed.

Of course I granted root and pressed Permissive, I know what SELinux is. I also unticked that checkbox and rebooted like 5 times. It either never connects or connects and disconnects after 2-3 minutes.

T-Mobile and wifi calling

Ok I guess this has been talked before but I can't find it, anyways I'm running the latest stock version of Android and ever since I rooted and unlocked my bootloader I haven't been able to get if to work.. Am I missing something or does it get disabled?

nope. im rooted, and tmobiles wifi calling works fine here.

Having the same issues here. Flashed the 'V' update and verified that wi-fi calling was working. Flashed root and TWRP through wugfresh's app and wifi-calling stopped working. I'm assuming that the new stock kernel was updated so that if the device was rooted it would break wi-fi calling.

flashed back to the 'Q' version and again restored wifi calling. Flashed supersu 2.67 and twrp 3.0.0.0 and lost wifi calling. BTW this setup was working prior to me flashing the update previously. I'm going to try a different version of supersu and see what happens.

I'm on the V build, rooted, and T-Mo WiFi calling works fine.
When you say WiFi calling is not working, is the wifi calling verbiage not showing up in notification area? Or does it show WiFi calling, but calls are not going thru when on WiFi?
