AT&T Wifi Hotspot Hack-Very Easy

I found this hack in LG G2 forum at XDA, so the credit goes to whoever found this, not to me.
1. Download SQLite Editor (I have the paid version)
2. Open the file - /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
3. There's a field named 'tether_entitlement_check_state'. in System. Original value is set to 5. Changed it to 0 and save
4. Reboot the phone
5. Enjoy tethering using AT&T app, not necessary to install any other app.
Edit: USB tethering works great too.

Where's the att app at?

I don't know if this hack works for other versions, anyway I'm using the app that came pre-installed, it is part of AT&T bloatware.

You should try linking the original lg g2 thread just in case someone has issues that have been Answered. Also the person that found it can get their credit.

Dont' worry.
I got this to work through the settings using this method, no need on using it through Mobile Hotspot app.
And I believe this method needs to be moved to the Theme and APPs section

assuming??
SO im assuming that this method does not work for sprint? im in serious need for infrastructure tethereing

What program are you using to edit? I couldn't find it using root explorer like I normally use. Had to use the 920 text editor app

Im using SQLite Editor. Ill try using 920 text editor.
Edit no luck. I posted up screenshots showing that I cant find that tether entitlement. The second pic is the 920 editor and it doesn't find anything in the data folder.
EDIT. I found it. I had to run the app and leave it running in the background to find the entitlement check. Thanks for the post and help.

Does anyone's advanced sms actually work?

I have the options menu to turn everything on but I can't actually see if anyone read my text or if they are typing. My friend updated as well and is on t mobile and we can't see anything for anyone or for each other.

I haven't got it to work either 2 Galaxy tmo s6 devices together.

Are both of you on either lte or WiFi? Otherwise it won't work, and I think both devices must also be connected to either

I've tried every possible combo but it still doesn't work. The send text button will get or orange box around it but doesn't show when anything is read.
Can someone post a screenshot of what it looks like when it works?

Honestly I could care less about this, I would like group messaging to work correctly.

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:

Has anyone had any luck getting Airtel VoLTE to work with the Indian Note 8?

There's no VoLTE toggle in Mobile Network Settings and the IMS Settings method doesn't work. I don't want to root the phone and honestly, we shouldn't have to jump through such hoops for this. Even the S7 works out of the box. This is embarrassing.

Did I ask about 4G? I'm talking about VoLTE. There is no VoLTE toggle in the settings.

Some people use an app that allows them to turn on or off the volte. Sorry I don't remember the app name.

Have you by any chance remembered its name?

Anyone else having issues with hotspot?

Hey all I'm trying to tether/hotspot my nintendo switch (happens to any device as well that attempts to connect) to my V40 but it fails at the internet connection test basically "connected to phone no internet connection" I know it's not my cell provider (AT&T w unlimited data) as I did this with my samsung SM-G9650 and didn't have any issue... And my V40 can access the internet itself via cell data just fine so I'm not sure what is going on I'm hoping someone might have some tricks or a solution or something.
Device information:
LG V40 Unlocked V405UA20a
Android 9 Stock w/-(Magisk, Edxposed, TWRP)
Kernel 4.9.112

Did you set up the mobile hotspot to only accept certain devices, or accept all device?

Sorry lol try these.. Or :

Can you go back one menu before 'set up hotspot'? Look for 'Manage Connections'. Our screens don't seem identical from either software version or cell carrier.
