[Q] Hotspot hack for Moto X 1053 GSM unlocked T-mobile? - Moto X Q&A

Is there a way to have a hotspot hack on the US Moto X 1053 GSM unlocked for T-Mobile?
Sorry, my search intents failed me.

I had it working previously using this info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...native-tether-fix-4-4-2-t2644867/post50243753

Wow, that was fast, I feel dumb.
Did you enjoy it overall despite any minor hiccups?

Info has a way of hiding itself just when you need it
I only used it a handful of time for small tasks, but having the functionality is definitely useful.

Use the closed framework WiFi tether app. It bypasses the "entitlement check" instead of the old sqllite trick

has anyone found a good way to turn the hotspot on the moto x? thanks
Without root.... You can try apps in the Play Store like Fox If and Barnacle.

But it requires you to use a password to unlock your phone right?

Yes, you do. It's a minor inconvenience for me. I use the hotspot then clear the credentials out and take the lock away.

Wouldn't the "skip" thing get around this as well?

Maybe, but personally I'm not a fan of the idea of carrying around yet another device (no matter how small) just to help me unlock the phone.

Try that. I used to pay for hotspot on two unlimited lines but got tired of the price. Dropped those features and still have unlimited. Before I rooted and boot loader unlocked my Note 2 I tried widgetsoid on both a stock Verizon note 2 and stock galaxy s3 and it works for both of them.

That just provides toggles for hotspot off and on. On the Moto X you can't use hotspot without the VZW subscription. Alternates like Foxfi are the only options for us right now.

I tried everything I could find for my Verizon Moto X, including SVTP which I paid for and worked great on my GNEX but does not on the Moto X.
FoxFi does work, however the certificate and lock screen PIN or pattern thing is annoying. Since this is the only option, I have no choice and will go through the routine when I need it, for now.

I know that but I wasn't paying for the hotspot on my two unlimited lines with a Note 2 and S3 and the widget allowed bypass of entitlement check apparently, as I was tethering via stock verizon hotspot on two stock unrooted phones. Didn't know if it would work or not on the X.

AT&T Native Tethering

Had anybody been able to Natively Tether on AT&T? I know there are solutions for VZW.

Posted in the other thread someone is going to modify the files for AT&T and post later today. Keeping my fingers crossed that it will work.
Is this just for single line plans? I ask because I've always been able to tether right out the box, even before I went with a mobile share plan.

Well for me if I tether on my current plan I will lose it because I'm still on grandfathered unlimited plan. So having it work with out screwing me out of my unlimited data would be nice.

Wifi tethering on Verizon Kitkat??

Just ordered a Moto X for Verizon and I need to find information about tethering this phone to my pc. I use this alot because I have unlimited data through VZW... So it would be really nice to continue using it.

As of right now you'd need to root (then use WiFi Tether, or make the necessary changes to use the stock tethering). FoxFi doesn't work w/ the Moto X on KitKat at the moment. No word on when it will, but it may be related to a cert issue in KitKat.
Root is no issue for me... I think the longest any of my phones have gone without root access is maybe 6 days from purchase... I've always rooted my phones. First thing I researched when ordering the X was whether or not they had root for kitkat

try using easy tether ... and foxfi has updated and works on kitkat on my s4... get the add-on and key, and you're golden :good:
You didn't define whether the phone you ordered is a Developer Edition. Because as far as I know only the DE can be rooted on Verizon.

ATT wifi

I remember on my two last Samsung phones the would automatically connect to ATTWiFi hotspots.
Now that I am on a Moto Dev ED with ATT service is there a way to be able to use that same function with this phone?

Only the XT1058 AT&T variant has that functionality built-in.

Could that app be used on the XT1053 by chance?
Don't want to change my build prop tho.

Unlocked phone on Verizon network (hotspot)

Can anyone using an unlocked note 8 let me know if you can still use the hotspot feature?
Also curious if you have an unlocked S8 or S7 , does the hotspot work?

Yes I read that people with the unlocked s8 can use the hotspot without Verizon getting in the way. So the unlocked Note8 should be the same. The only trade-off is you do not get Wi-Fi calling or HD calling because the firmware does not support it. I don't use those features so it doesn't bother me. You can flash the Verzion firmware and get those features but you lose the hotspot. Idk if you can go back to carrier unlocked firmware so I'm not messing with it.

Yea I dont use wifi calling, but love my hotspot, so tradeoff works for me, ty
Niceee, no problem gingi ! That's the main reason I wanted root in the past. I wish I knew about the unlocked phone loophole sooner lol..

There's a few scripts that you can run and it gives you HD calling.

I had no idea this was possible. I thought everyone using Nougat was locked out of hotspot without root regardless of the phone being unlocked. If that's the case, I'd return the Note I ordered from Verizon and just buy it from Bestbuy.

Thank you much!
I did my best for a mini tutorial. The app is called shortcut master
For users in the "New" Verizon Unlimited plan, would an unlocked phone bypass the 15GB limit on hotspot before they throttle you to 3G?

I know this is for verizon but I used the shortcut app and went to settings then RadioInfo and found this:
