Is anyone aware of an app to allow sharing of the phones data connection through WiFi on the HTC Vivid?
Is rooting necessary?
FYI: I'm not interested in AT&T's official data sharing as I'd have to change from my grandfathered unlimited plan.

Frigid released a HTC Supertool ( Now ver 2 ) for Windows

Temp root your vivid and select option 8 ( Wireless Tether Exploit )...if you're successful share with us.
Looking to purchase the Vivid if it works for my scenario (WiFi Router). If I do end up getting this device and test this I will definately share the results.
Thanks for the info!
WIFI Tether does not work
I tried the WIFI Tether and it does not work when I had the Atrix they were able to modify the entitlement check to have hotspot access is this possible with the Vivid. Thanks
I have an unlimited lte plan from T-Mobile, with 3gb of hotspot.
I'm curious if there is any kind of Windows phone, or software that can have unrestricted hotspot installed onto it?
Thank you for the info.
T-Mobile/MetroPCS has really cracked down on tethering lately. Does the Nexus 6 have any issues wifi tethering on T-Mobile/MetroPCS?
no issues, i tether fine in tmobile. btw, for the regular plans, they include tether. for a completely unlimited high speed data, they let you tether 5gb. for a limited plan, they allow unlimited tether. now you can opt to dive deeper into it, by rooting your device and enabling a hack that will let you tether unlimitedly, without your provider seeing.
I'm hearing that it's not possible for the N6 to tether on Metro w/o root.
As far as I know you DO need root to hide your tethering
Can anyone link me to the root method of tethering?
Yes, that's been the case. But even now that they allow tethering, everything I've seen indicates that the Nexus 6 can't tether without root on Metro.
Hey guys,
Is it possible to enable tethering without root? When I use the native tethering it just pops up a message that says to go to att.com/mywireless (but there are no options to turn it on there)?
Thanks guys, I need this functionality for work.
I'm on the 15 gig shared data plan and my tethering in available with out root I used to need root but when I changed to this plan it was no longer needed not sure if that was what made it available on my phone or something else. I will check the other phones on the plan and see if they also have tether available and let you know.

Hey, I have the unlimited data plan that comes bundled with direct tv, which I called and does not support tethering. they said I'd have to change to a non-unlimited plan that supports tethering, or get another device that has a data plan that has tethering, but the cheapest plan is 40 dollars a month for 2 gb of data. Does anyone know a way to root the phone (can send me a link) so that I can keep my unlimited plan and still tether? Or know some other option that allows me to keep my unlimited plan and still tether? Thanks!
Not sure of the status of them, but try out PdaNet and FoxFi ... The latter has been removed from the play store by sprint and at&t, but you can find the url in the FoxFi Addon description.
[edit]
Confirmed, pdanet is still a thing. One of the few apps I truly found worth what I paid for it.
Links and details
Tethering is part of the mobile share data plan.

This app works perfectly!! Thank you, NOTHING else works with AT&T's new unlimited plan except for this.
I can confirm Foxfi/PdaNet works via usb, without root. Install Foxfi (paid full version) on your phone and have PDAnet on your pc and attach via usb.

Hi
I am new and I have a question and a answer which probably is not the one you are looking for but you have to start some where to learn like you and me. My question is what is tethering without root. As for tethering I go to settings- connections- mobile hot spot and tethering and turn it on. Hope you don't mind a first day rookie bothering you and hope we can become friends here. Take care.
Someone correct me if I am wrong but rooting your phone will enable full tethering on this new unlimited data deal but it can be detected by att and in some cases att will automatically add a tethering fee to your bill if detected. However it's extremely hard to detect Android phones (and more expensive) so generally att pursues this more on Apple platforms. Just wanted to confirm my own understanding before I switch plans. If true, it's a win win for this community.

no root yet for the s6 active. but anyone interested in tethering i found a work around. dowload klink tether from playstore to run your laptop no root required. the app has simple intructions to get you going. once you have that all done now you can download a hotspot program on your laptop. i use connectify turns it into a hotsot so you will actualy be connecting to the laptop wich is running from your phone works fine. now you have free wireless tether. if anyone noes a easier tether option i would like to no foxfi didnt work for me as it did on other devices im currently running marshmellow on the s6 active
Anyone get tethering working on the grandfathered UDPs yet? If so, how?
Thanks!
Eric

I used the magisk plugin called tethering enabler and it works for me. I'm on the old sprint plan and connecting to tmobile 5g in my area.
