A alternate way of unlocking your hotspot on your galaxys7 without the need of root:good:
You are going to need the MSL code for you phone
Which can be obtained by calling customer service and asking them (this is the way i did it) or just go to you nearest sprint shop and ask them for the code.
(If they ask why you want the code, just say its for your personal info or interest)
Once you have your code, go to your phone dialer and dial the following: ##3282#
Than you will prompted to write your MSL code
After typing your code, you will be presented to a menu, on that menu you are going to search for "APN SETTINGS" than you are going to search for APN2 EHRPD Internet APN2 LTE internet, and on both you are going to search for the following: "default,mms"
And once you found the "default,mms", you are going to edit it to : default,mms,dun (just add: ",dun" at the end).
Once you have finished editing, just reboot your phone
And you just unlocked unlimited hotspot and tethering

On the new updates the APNs are grayed out and you can not edit them
So root is option.

Unless there is a update that im not aware of, and cuases the APN to be grayed out. Then that explains your situation to be correct

Really thats wierd , because yesterday i called customer service for my msl, and than i proceeded to unlock the hotspot without no problem.
Also before i did recieve my msl code, i did try to unlock the hotspot feature just using SHORTCUT MASTER, but couldn't becuase it was grayedout and unable to be interactive.
But when i tryed using the methods that sprint technicians use (the msl code method) i was able to unlock the feature.

Here is the screenshot
Well **** didn't know that. What version are you running with U firmware
PG1 ..most recent
Shortcutmaster is easy, just type "Apn" in th he search engine, than look in the options that it provides you, tap on the apn option that end in the word settings ( ex. Apn................settings). And than you will be prompted to press " launch" (it a menu bar that says: launch,home,ect.) After that its the same procedure as if using a msl code
The only down fall to this, is that you need root for it to work ( to ungray the options need to fix). The things needed to unlock the apn's grayed.
But if it works for you without encountering any problems just share the info with others
Even the msl code method is showing up to some people grayed.
I tryed using both method on my fathers s7, and i encounterd this issue.
My guess is that it has to be with something with the build or serial number or some thing distinguish them from each other. Cuz for some it both methods work, but for others they need root to acomplish this.

Yo its true what you where saying about the apns being grayed out.
My guess is that its not in all samsung s7.
That's apparently sprint catching wind and doing something. Glad I don't take updates with new phones like that

THIS DOES NOT WORK ON THE NEW ROM BASE! I WILL COME UP WITH AN ALTERNATE SOLUTION WHEN I HAVE TIME.
Hey guys, I've put my improving Java skills (thanks college!) to use and made a free app to help you with SIM unlocking your Sprint HTC One. I couldn't think of a good name, but I think the name is self-explanatory I made a post in the General and Q&A threads that involved SIM unlocking, but then I figured it would be best to make a dedicated thread for the app so that (hopefully) I'm not being asked for help with the unlocking process, but just for app issues/suggestions. This will allow your phone to use 3G (HSPA+) and 1900Mhz coverage areas on T-Mobile and AT&T. I'll just copy and paste from Google Play so you don't have to click on a link
Description
This is a simple ad-free application to aid in SIM Unlocking your Sprint HTC One. SIM Unlocking allows you to use any GSM SIM card in the phone, not just the one that comes with the phone. This allows you to save money with your choice of SIM if you're overseas or to unlock a Sprint HTC One for use with a US GSM carrier.
This app will ONLY work on the Sprint HTC One on a Sense ROM. If you're on a custom ROM, it might not have the HTC hidden menu this app opens for you. AOSP ROMs don't have that either. Please don't try this on any other devices, as the app checks the device it's installed on and will FAIL. Please also make sure you're rooted, the app checks for that as well.
Please don't rate 1 star if the app doesn't work for you, it worked for me 100%. Make sure you read everything here and then contact me, I will help you.

If this method (or similar) works for other One's on different carriers, please let me know and I will make this app compatible with more phones. If you want to try it but you don't know if this method works on your phone, contact me and we'll talk about a test version, but I will not be held liable if you brick your phone.
Please post if you have any issues with the app (you can email me a log from the Menu) or if you have any suggestions. For general SIM unlocking talk, this is not the place for it. Please visit the thread in General or the one in Q&A. Thanks and enjoy

and you told me you weren't interested in sim unlock... ;]
Okay excuse the noob questions but I just got the phone a couple weeks ago. So what your saying is that this is a Sprint phone that takes SIM cards and I can throw in a AT&T, T-Mobile or one of the off brand carrier's SIM cards and it will work? I'm assuming 3G only right? No 4G or HSPA+?
3G is HSPA+ on T-mobile and AT&T but yea you can use it in 1900 Mhz coverage areas on AT&T or T-mobile.

if you start "TestAPIActivity" instead of "TestMainActivity", it takes you straight to the "API" menu, so people don't have to tap on "API".
it also might be a good idea to warn people to be careful not to tap on other things in the "API" menu.

I tried this with a coworkers Tmo sim and I could receive calls and texts directed to him, but it showed no signal and "emergency calls only". I had my phone unlocked via Sprint for international travel (which worked well), so I am not sure if this has anything to do with it not working.
There are also a couple of typos you might want to fix... "then scroll down AND tap" and "change Preferred Network Type FROM WCDMA Preferred to switch to GSM ONLY." Mine was actually set to CDMA + LTE/EvDo, but I don't think that matters much.
Sim unlock help
Hi ,
i followed the instructions as you have suggested, and I went to the dealer shop to try with another network ( mine was Sprint) but still it doesnt pick up the signal when i change to GSM mode, when i switch to CDMA the signal blinks .
Could you please help me or tell me what went wrong?

with the unlimited plan at tmobile, they give you a max of 3gb for tethering(unless you buy more). do you have root or are you stock?

if you have root, theres an app called wifi tether router that when you use, tmobile doesnt know that you are tethering. theres also a system mod that changes some files thatll keep tmobile away as well.

Nope turns out you have to modify the build prop as well. I took that last line out and rebooted and I lost tether again. Added it back just now and I got tether back.
So add dun in the APN type and add the no provisioning line to the end off the build prop.

Thanks, Hopefully I can get this to work on my Nexus 6 for T-Mobile.
1a. Use a VPN on connected devices. 1b. Search xda for an app called dnsqache, and follow the github readme on how to set it up, I will warn you though that your MMS messages might not transmit if you do not have dns2 set as what you get when you run the terminal command "getprop net.dns2" and use a browser with a user agent switcher set to your browser except showing a Linux OS
I've added the net.provision whatever and added ,dun to APN type. Running euphoria and my tethering is working fine
Most important is the build.prop change and adding ,dun to APN type. Then you shouldn't have any problems

I was able to work around the issue by modifying the following sqlite database (you'll need root):
/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
You need to add a new entry to the global table called "tether_dun_required" with a value of 0.
It looks like you need to do this because some configuration data was added to Android for T-mobile that forwards tethered data to this APN: pcweb.tmobile.com
T-mobile is probably checking to see if your account has tethering enabled when you go through this APN.
After I made this change I also needed to change my APN settings so that it uses ipv4 instead of ipv6. It seems like tethering with ipv6 does not work 100% yet.

That's correct I used SQLite editor because I'm lazy sometimes and its easy when you flash a fresh ROM. I have a screenshot below of what it looks like.
I also added " ,dun " to the end of my APN type in the APN settings. No issues so far.

thank you! i downloaded one of the free sql lite editors i found, it tells me i don't have root even though i'm rooted on purity rom right now. did i miss something?
Ok, Like so many other people, I want to be able to use my Hotspot but I don't want to get throttled after my 5gb allotment.
I've tried DARTHSTALKER, Skyfall 1.2, Hyperdrive, and Firekatv10 roms...all of which say that they have unlimited tether baked in. I've also tried Pdanet+, Foxfi, and Wifi Tether Router. I've also tried flashing "[MOD] Unrestricted Tethering NJ7" over every one of those roms plus a stock rooted rom.
Every single thing I've tried has made my mobile data counter go up.
I've searched, and researched and tried so many settings tweaks and variations. Nothing works.
People out there are saying that they've got it working and have no issues.
So maybe I'm just missing something.
Can someone help me out?
Thanks.

Yes. I am on Tmo.
I was actually just looking at this rom. I'll give it a shot. Shoot...I'll try anything at this point. Once I get all this working I get to call Comcast and tell them exactly what I think of their awful company.

Get yourself an app called SQL Lite Editor, and navigate to the following database:
/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases
settings.db
(global)
Insert the following:
tethering_dun_required
value=0
Save and reboot.
In your APN settings, make sure you are set to IPv4.
In the event SQL Lite Editor won't allow you to save the settings (depending on what ROM you're running), you will need to find the following 2 apps to add the line:
"aShell" and an app called "aSQLiteManager"

I'm downloading DK 4.1 Now. If that doesn't fix the problem, I will try this. I'll let you know.

Downloaded several SQL Editors. One said I had no root access (I do). Others wouldn't navigate to the database at all. Some just force closed when I got to where I wanted to be.
Sweet, if the DK 4.1 ROM works for you then I'll give it a shot as well.

Ok...even aShell with aSQLiteManager says no root access when I click on /data. I've got to go to work. But I'll keep up with this while I'm there.

DK 4.1 did not work for me. Still made my Hotspot Data go up. Like I've said...I think I'm missing something. Editing the database might be what I'm missing...but I can't get that to work either.

The option to "enable root" is within that app, as it won't detect root automatically.

Ok. Still no luck. Followed these instructions to at T. My Hotspot Data still goes up.
Any other ideas?
I've got an unlocked LGLS991 and wanted to edit the APN settings for GSM use.
It looks like there is no option to edit the network settings under the network menu and the ##3282# menu only allows me to view APN settings, not add or edit.
Do I need to poke around in hidden menus? Or is there an easy way to get the APN settings configured?
Thanks.
Believe you can get the service code (MSL) needed to edit the settings by calling Sprint or doing live chat with support on their website.
you do not have to contact Sprint to get your MSL/SPC - method described here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2521276
I was hoping to enable wifi tethering via ##3282#-->APN settings but "APN Type" is not part of the APN settings anymore.
You can add or edit APNs so if you click edit and enter MSL

I have the MSL but whenever i go to ##3282# and tap on APN it does not pop up a promt to edit or add, it will just open another menu with internet, ota, pam, GSM and an option to restore defaults.

Those are 4 different APNs you already have. You can click on each one and will get and View/Edit prompt.
Try using QuickShortcutMaker, search for hidden, tap Service Programu, then IOT Hidden Menu, then tap Try, LTE setting, APN Setting. Long press the square button to access menu, and add a new APN. I added dun to APN type under intenet to enable tethering. You might need to enable UICC Unlock. Hope this helps.
What APN's are folks using
Good Morning,
I was wondering from looking at this thread I don't see any APN's that are options to change to. Does anyone have a list of the ones that are available and breakdown of what they should do for our service?
If youre on sprint you shouldn't even have to deal with APN's you more than likely will not a GSM sim carrier in your device to open the APNS to edit.

could you please share the ota files or go to carrier/app and up load the two files for us to unlock LS991 ?
and apn you just need to root and replace apn .xml in your system/etc and 3282 to apn reset it it worked for me
but i replaced the two files with LS996 , I got single data message but still have a big problem my phone can't hang up or call in
Shorcut master lite APK or Offline SIM APN Database APK its to easy

I did follow your instruction but come to Try and it can't continue, mine is LS991 ZV8 6.0
you can try editing build prop "ro.carrier" from sprint to OPEN and that gives added settings when you open up the setting app..try it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3258362
I know it's unrelated sort of, but you can edit apn settings without root, msl, etc by this method

Make sure you specifically "save" the setting after you change it. Hold down the square button, and a little menu will pop up, where you can select the save option. If instead you just make the change and back out without manually selecting save, it will not save your changes.
Anyone has fixed apn issue on Sprint?
I've already did too as post above but still no data .... APN can edit in shortcutmenu but still greyed and can't edit on APN ( at network setting).
Please help me ....

I noticed it likes to reset it self(APN settings). You can make a new one and it will still try to change mms settings back to default.
I changed network settings automatic option to LTE so hopefully it stays put without sprint intervention.
I am not sure its relevant anymore, but i was having a lot of issue with respect to setting up apn on my sprint unlocked lg3 ls990.
finally after rooting my phone i downloaded and installed "offline sim apn database" apk and even though it was not able to write to the apn directly, it did have an option to manually allow me to open it for manual entry, and after i created a new apn with my operator details (vodafone india) and saved it, it started working.......if anyone still has not been able to resolve it by any method mentioned above, then try this.
P.S...this idea is not mine, it was written by someone here at xda developers but why i posted separately was because even though this apk wasnt able to write directly, it managed to open the hidden menu, which i was not able to get to using any other method.

After updating to zvb it says u need extra permission.
Does that mean i need to root the device? I messed up :crying:
Setting Util
Okay, I believe I found another way to edit/add APN. Use QuickShortcutMaker, search for "Setting Util", hit try, then tap "Change PROPERTIES" set it to match your operator and/or country, or try a GSM carrier, and hit confirm. Go to settings, more, and APN menu should now be accessible. You can now add your APN. Don't forget to hit save cause once your phone reboots it will lockup again, but your APN settings should stay.
Also, you will need MSL, as you have to set MMSC in the ##DATA# dialer menu, delete the IP and Port fields, or you will not get proper multimedia messages. Once done your phone will reboot.
I tried this with both a Sprint and T-Mobile SIM in the phone, if your APN setting doesn't match your SIM it will not be visible, but it will save. Also if you have not changed your network to LAB in the IOT hidden menu prior to ZVB, I believe you will get the annoying Sprint hands free activation message.
I have an unbranded (unlocked) Note 8 straight from Samsung. None of the dialer/hidden codes work. Any idea how to enable them?
What have you tried? I have the same and they work. There's no setting to enable/disable
I don't know what to try to be honest. They just don't work. I've tried the usual ones *#1234#, *#*#4636#*#* etc. None work, the phone just does nothing.
You can use a shortcuts app to do the hidden codes. A bunch of them work. I accidentally enabled some stupid on-screen display thing so when I do power off it displays some messages that tell me it is sending a shutdown command. Now I can't remember which one it was to turn that thing off....

That has a similar setting, this time the culprit was me changing the build.prop to say my device type was userdebug instead of just user. Changed it back and voila, no more shutdown text!
Still not working for me. I even did a factory reset and tried the dialer codes before even inserting a SIM card (thought Verizon provisioning played a trick on my unbranded N8). Any idea why they aren't working?
What are these codes for, again?

hidden menus for adjusting or testing various settings, as far as i can tell.
These work (unlocked note 8)

*#9090# diagnostic information
*#0*# hardware diagnostic
*#7353# quick test menu
This is not exhaustive, just me trying stuff out.

Yeah.... none of these work for me. None at all. I'm kinda fed up with all the small nagging issues. The phone is going back to Sammy. I'll just go get one from Verizon store.

This is exactly why I as well as others are questioning why there aren't carrier specific forums for the Note 8 as there have been for every other note. There is too much confusion when we're all on the same forum to solve these problems. You have people posting how to do this or that but it doesn't work for every model/carrier.
You have to go to
/efs/carrier/HiddenMenu
And change the setting from off to on... but root is needed.

Try entering them manually in dialer. *#77467# takes me to ims settings. On Tmobile. Other carriers lock theres so root is needed.

flash this firmware 1000000% will work:good:
This is a struggle ive been working with since switching to Vzw. I did the same thing. I started the phone without a SIM and the dialer codes work. Once I put the SIM in, the phone said it needed to restart to apply carrier settings. Once it restarted, the dialer codes no longer worked. Samsung must have special coding to lock this down once a Vzw SIM is inserted.
