For those out there with unlimited grandfathered att plans how do you tether without att sending nasty grams. I realize vpn is the way to go to avoid ttl detection but is there any apps that do this seamlessly?
Thanks
Root and then dl a tether app from play store.

Care to explain what tethering zip is? I assume it is a file obviously, but if you are referring to the cleanrom tether file that would void Knox. Have you used this yourself? More info would be great cheers

i would also like to know this
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.

Are there any options for running a WiFi hotspot on 4.4.4 VZW? I tried FoxFi and it said WiFi hotspot is blocked by the latest update. I'm currently not rooted.
Thanks!

I believe the only way is to do it either via USB or bluetooth.
I hotspot off my moto x to my laptop with no issues and also hotspot for my tablet...without usb cable or bluetooth...i just turn on hotspot and go.
You need root to WiFi hostpot. All the methods that I am aware of requires it. Soon we should have a boot loader unlock, which will get you root and let you do this. Until then USB or patience is your answer sadly.
I don't pay the hotspot fee, so the built in hot spot doesn't work. Frustrating that they make hotspotting so difficult even though I'm allowed to do it by law (I have a data cap). Guess I'll just wait for root. Thanks!

So you're not on the old unlimited data plan?
I thought Verizon enabled the hot spot feature on your phone automatically once you were on a tiered data plan, since it uses data from your tiered data.
You can always call them and ask.
That's the frustrating part, I switched to a 6GB plan partially because of the hotspot feature but they still block it on my phone. They gave me some whacky reason when I called them, something to do with the price tier I'm in.
I thought they weren't allowed to restrict bandwidth on the LTE spectrum as per their deal with the FCC, but I guess they found a loophole.

first, i'd read your TOS to see if it's mentioned there, then i'd call back and complain and then escalate to a manager. tethering is included in the share everything plans, so if you're on some unique plan, you may be out of luck.

Hi, can someone please see if FoxFi USB or Wifi tether works on 5.1 update? Or if native wifi tether can be made to work, which I assume it wont since root is needed. Does FoxFi work?

AFAIK, 5.1 has a built-in check to see if you have tethering provisioned on your plan.
Edit: Also, if you have one of the newer data plans, tethering is included, I think.

WiFi tether will not work whether you use the native app or any 3rd party apps like foxfi. I haven't tried USB tether yet, but it worked on kit kat before root was available.

That's what I'm interested in, wether FoxFi USB tether will work on 5.1. I assume Wifi tether wont, unless it's a miracle.

I'm currently doing USB Tether on FoxFi, but WiFi Tether does not work "without a mobile hotspot plan". I just sent this message plus watching YouTube through USB Tether.

Yes, I am on 5.1 and USB tethering is working, now if there's a limit I don't know; I'm unable to test at this current time
EDIT: I should clarify that I am on an Unlimited Data plan, which means I am NOT paying for the Mobile Hotspot. When I started the FoxFi USB Tether, the only thing it asked me was to install the PdaNet+ program and everything worked as expected!
On the SM-N910T3... If I manage to get my phone to skip the Tethering provision check, would I get Unlimited Tethering? If so, how can I do that?
If not, can anyone point me in the right direction to get Unlimited Tethering?

one way that i know off is getting Wifi Tether Router, i haven't use it for about 2 or 3 months but when i was using it, work like a charm .
I once saw Legere's comment about T-Mobile is cracking down hardcore tethering users with "non-usual" ways. Not sure what the penalties are but i would be really carefull if I were you.
1. Use a VPN on the tethered device.
2. Use a tethering app, like WiFi Tether Router.
3. Never ever use the built in tethering method if you're on a stock or stock-based ROM.
4. Simple.
Using a VPN hides your data packets and prevents T-Mobile from inspecting your data packets to find out where the data is coming from. It is none of their business in the first place. I suggest doing this no matter what if you care about privacy.
What VPN service do you recommend and how do I go about setting it up.

I don't recommend one. Google it to find a list. Decide which you prefer. Most VPNs will provide an app or instructions on how to set up in Android.
