Hello I have searched all the forums but I can't find and working solution to get free wifi tether to work on my LG G4 with T-Mobile.
I have added the net.tethering.noprovisioning=true command to the build prop file and when I enable the hotspot I am able to connect devices to my phone but there is no internet available on the connected devices.
I am currently running a LG G4 which upgraded itself to
Android 6.0
build number MRA58K
Software version H81120i
Android patch level 2016-01-01
After my phone updated to Marshmallow I unlocked the bootloader and rooted my phone. Installed a build prop editor and edited the file to include net.tethering.noprovisioning=true.
Is there any way to get unlimited wifi tether with this phone? If not is there a way I can downgrade to lolipop or previous version to get the tether working? When I had the previous version of the software I was able to use an app called Wifi Tether Router which worked but it is no longer compatible with marshmallow and tmobile.
Thanks in advance for any help.
1. Get the app, Android terminal
2. Launch app to start terminal and type "su"
3. After that, type in "settings put global tether_dun_required 0"
It should work hopefully. It worked for me. Please note that every time you reboot / power down and turn on the phone, you have put this command in again.
Thanks I tried that. I am able to connect to the phone with another device but there is no Internet available.
More than likely it is a tunneling issue. It's not routing the Internet through the wifi like it's supposed to do. What wifi tether app are you using?

Hey guys, I've installed android-wired-tether on my Hero but it doesn't seem to connect to my computer (win7 32bit). Am I missing something here? Should I install the kernel update? But I'm still on Android 1.5 but and not 1.6.
Help.
Thanks.
Try PdaNet
I have found that PdaNet for Android ( http://www.junefabrics.com/android/index.php ) works fine as a Tether, but if you use the HTC Sync program, PdaNet will tell you that it has found an incompatable file and that you must uninstall HTC Sync before PdaNet will work properly.
Since I don't require my Hero to act as a modem, I opt'd to keep the HTC Sync program which I use almost daily.
I also used PdaNet on my old Windows based MotoQ. Worked perfectly as a modem.
GL!!
Not sure if it the same for the USA model but the UK version of the Hero's manual says it can be used as a mobile broadband modem for a PC ("tethered") straight out of the box, with no need for any additional software.
The instructions in my manual say
1. Make sure your phone’s data connection is turned on.
2. Connect the phone to the computer using the provided USB cable.
3. Press HOME > MENU, and then tap Settings > Wireless controls.
4. Select the Mobile network sharing check box.
You do need to have HTC sync installed on your computer as well.

As has already been said, if you've a UK Hero, it supports wired tethering out of the box as long as you install HTC Sync.
Vis-a-vis Android 1.5 - all the latest official HTC ROMs are Android 15. There are no official releases of any later version of Android as yet.

Hi World,
I recently updated my phone to 2.2 with odin. I used just the CODE_I9000DXJPA file and did not use any PIT, PDA or CSC file. The phone works fine with data, it just wont tether to my laptop.
Im in Indonesia and have the GT-I9000HKAXSE version. I did the flash with the JPA file only because i could not find CSC and PDA files for my version anywhere :S.
Please help!
Cheers,
Xplice
Hi,
Can you be more specific on the error?
If you are using USB Tethering, make sure your PC have the correct Samsung drivers by installing the latest Kies.
For WiFi Tethering (Mobile AP), do you see the "Mobile AP activated" message on the notification bar? Did you enter the correct SSID & Password in your Laptop?
I also encounter problems with the built in USB/WiFi tethering feature, the internet disconnects intermittently. I am now using Wireless Tether for Root Users app that is available in the Android Market. Try it and see if it works.
btw you need to root your phone first..
Hi,
It is Rooted
There is no error - it just does not work. Data works fine on the phone but for Wifi tether, usb tether and bluetooth tether it says connected and looks fine but does not work.
I don't use kies because it sux
Cheers,
Immanuel

Maybe you want to try out some custom ROM? The one I am using now this one:

I have no issue with tethering.
Just curious, how did you enable bluetooth tethering, I can't find such option in my SGS.
Hi !
i've the same problem.
I'm in france and the tethering doesn't work alone.
The trick is to enter, on your laptop, the right DNS of your provider.
The best is to create a batch file to add and remove the DNS config ;-)
Now you have just to find the DNS ^^

Hi,
Try sla92's suggestion if it will work for you, if you don't know any DNS, try www.OpenDNS.com.
Can you tether before updating your SGS to 2.2? If yes, it might be a bad flash.. try to hard reset. If still have problems, flash a new rom as suggested by xplice.
or update via Kies using Registry Hack http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835628 this is what I did to update my SGS.
Yeah all tethering worked great on 2.1 :s..... Now none work!
Does anyone know where i can get the PIT, PDA or CSC files for my region (indonesia) ?? I can only find the Europe ones... My suspicion is it is a problem with that as the CSC file controls the radios??
For bluetooth teather you just have to connect via bluetooth to your pc and add as a trusted device and then your pc will see it as a modem, just make sure you give it the right APN for your providor.
I need help, my Xperia ZR cant connect to 2.4 GHz networks, it detect them, but when you try to connect, they go all the way down and it appears as "out of range", I have tried several 2.4 networks, until today I tried with a 5.0 GHz router and it connected in less than 1 second, so I dont know how to fix this problem, I would appreciate step by step instructions, like what to download and how to proceed, noob style.
I have tried PC companion factory reset, I have the latest update, and it did not solve the problem, I found this solution, but I dont know how to do it or if it would solve my problem:
This is an official solution I found after weeks of testing and research. In the end, the driver is not loaded properly or by default, custom ROM created the havoc.
I noticed that when running ADB GUI, there is this file missing from /system/data/misc/wifi called WCNSS_qcom_cfg.ini .
I'm using ADB Helper Version 4.2.0.0, under build.prop Viewer tab, choose wlan.driver.config it points to that location. I downloaded it from somewhere on the Xperia developer forum website. Then I modified and modified until I found the solution.
In this file I modified the line gDotMode=3 (which is running in N mode only) to either 1 or 2 which s "a" or "b" mode.
I rebooted the device and the wifi works and N mode is disabled meaning you wont be able to connect in 5GHz mode anymore. But you will be able to connect to all the CURRENT 2.4GHz AP.
I read somewhere where ICS android allows you to Enable or Disable 5GHz scanning of AP. But was removed from later versions.
Now, my phone can connect to any 2.4GHz WiFi.
Thanks for any help
My Wifi Tether is not firing up correctly after I've updated to 5.1 on Verizon. I am rooted with stock.
I've tried settings from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/how-to-wifi-tether-stock-rooted-moto-x-t2449534
but these settings don't work. It tells me "tether started with errors." Then when I check the log it says the file doesn't exist. I cannot find any wifi networks on my computer after I start it.
Again, I am rooted with stock 5.1 firmware. Anyone had any luck with it?

Did you get a resolution to this? I am having the same problem. I have not yet tried the suggestion above.

Now I have tried it. No success. Have you found success?
Stock, unrooted Moto X on Verizon. Took the OTA to 5.1 and now tether says it's on, but no devices are able to maintain a connection if they are ever actually even able to complete the handshake

Yes, I can't get any devices to even see my wifi is broadcasting. If you find a resolution please return and let us know. I will keep searching but I am probably going to go back to 4.4.4 as everything was fine.
Same thing happened to LG-G3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g3/general/lollipop-tethering-t3071188
I use WiFi Tether Router and I used the settings for a Moto G and the developer had me check the "hostAPDpatch" option. Problem solved. Wifi is back and I have one less 1st world problem.

That's the one! Thanks whopua
I rooted the phone and flashed Android M 6.0 and I'm on Sprint. I tried activating the hotspot and it works, but when i connect with my computer I can't access anything. Is there something I am missing?
