Wireless Tether

I looked around and did not see this. Now that the phone is opened up, if there an easy way to just enable the wireless tether?

I've had WiFi tethering since I bought the phone right after it came out, I'm not sure why others don't have the option. I found it in Settings -> More -> Tethering & Mobile Hotspot. I've had this on KK 4.4.4 as well as LP 5.1. Is it because it's only available with non grandfathered unlimited data devices (I think they got rid of that recently too)?

Unlimited can tether the same way, but we have to pay $20 a month. Xposed module xtether seems to work. It let me turn tether on without the message that I need to upgrade. Did not connect and test it yet.

Just flash CF's 1.1A ROM..it has wireless tether enabled where you can turn on in the stock app. No need for a separate xposed app.

Heh, ok. I've got their UNLIMITED TALK & TEXT 2GB plan 75$ and it incudes hotspot/tethering.

Anyone care to share what to edit to get WiFi tethering? Flashing a different ROM is not really what I wanna do right now, would like to just do it on my newly unlocked stock rom Turbo

I'm interested in the WiFi tether as well.

Install xposed, look for xtether, I've used it all day and 0 issues.

Alternatively, I think you can add the following line to /system/build.prop:
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true

+1 for xTether. It works great for me. I used it all day to play on my tablet while the wife was Black Friday shopping.

I did this and am having no luck

So I need a little help please. I have my phone unlocked, rooted, twrp installed, made a backup, and now SU updated from reading on here. I have a UDP and want my wifi tether to work without installing custom roms. I'm happy at this point with what stock does. I'm not the greatest with this, but I am not afraid to read. So to my problem. I'm stuck with the xpose thing. I just don't see or get what needs to be done to install it. I read I need to flash something first? But i'm not sure why. I looked a little at just adding the line in the build file but was not sure if that would still work or if that was old news. Please someone point in the right direction.
Thanks.

Use a file manager with root capabilities such as solid explorer, amaze file manager or whatever to edit the build.prop file. It's in /system/. Add 'net.tethering.noprovisioning=true' without quotes and reboot. Tethering within the settings app should now work.

Thanks for the reply. I added it at the end of the file. Rebooted and turned the tether on. no messages. I think I'm good to go. Again Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the tip on the build prop edit. I've been trying to figure out how to do this for a bit now. Just to confirm, this method will work on the latest version of 5.1 so long as I'm rooted and unlocked, correct?

It has worked great for me. I do not load in ROM'S or make a lot of other changes to my phone. Paying the 25.00 is just math for me. I was giving 30.00 a month to Verizon to pay for tethering. Now I don't. So in 1 month I come out ahead. You need your boot loader unlocked, and will need to pay for that 1 time.

Will this tether-unlock be "visible" to VZ and cause me issues under my unlimited plan? (I presume by smooth's reply that he hasn't had this problem, but I want to be sure)

[REQUEST] Wifi Tether and/or USB Tether

Please create a Wifi or USB Tether module for Magisk. The Magisk Tether Enabler module is no longer available. The good Wifi and USB Tether apps for rooted phones do not work with Magisk, only SuperSU. ie Wifi Tether by Fabio. Grasso. Please, I do not want to go backwards and root with SuperSU

Why can't the native tether app be used? It should work just by having net.tethering.noprovisioning=true in build.prop and entering:
su
settings put global tether_dun_required 0
In adb or terminal. From what I've been seeing in custom ROMs at least for my Nexus 6, nobody is using tether_dun_required 0 in their builds, having to do it manually every wipe.
I never tried the module you speak of but I wouldn't be too surprised if that's why it did lol.

I do not pay extra for tethering and have unlimited phone data plan. The wifi tether app I mentioned gets around the carrier detecting tethering data and blocking it. Wifi Tether worked great fo 5 years on 2 different rooted phones using SuperSU. The developer admits issues with Magisk and Kingroot. No issues with SuperSU.
A Magisk module would would be appreciated and Im certain others would use it.

You will have to tell me exactly how to set that up. build.prop, terinal cammands, means nothing to me. If you mean turning on tether in settings, it gets blocked by the carrier.
Installing magisk modules and app that require root is better for average users anyway. And I thought magisk modules was one big advantage of magisk...

Let us know if it works, your phone model and OS.

I am not going to know if it works now mate.
I just contacted Three in the UK
I asked them about my hotspot data as i could no longer see it on their website.
They said you are on AYCE Data i was like ok ???
they said your hotspot and AYCE is combined now and i was like huh?
the person on the other end said you have unlimited Tethering.
I was like OMG gobsmacked as i was i left them a great survey.
So i didnt need this after all but if i do get any phones - i will try this method and i will report back on to this thread. (but highly likely i wont be back for awhile)
I am using a Samsung s8

Did Magisk ever made it on they app that you can install they hotspot. I have a pixel 3. If anybody try it out of it please let me know. The carrier is throttling download speeds by margin. It won't go no more then 650kbps download. But when it's the beginning of the billing cycle I can get 23mbps down. After using 15GB of hotspot it drastically throttles it. Any bypass for this would greatly be appreciated

Have you looked through the thread you're posting in? There's a link just a few posts up with commands used for enabling tethering. The prop you can set with MagiskHide Props Config and the "settings put" command you should only have to enter in terminal once (if I remember correctly).

WiFi calling (UK)

Just read that Three is discontinuing it's WiFi calling app as most phones have this as standard now. I have no reception in my flat so this has been a lifesaver. I have figured out how to activate the volte and WiFi calling toggles but only the volte seems to work (I get an icon when on 4g). Has anyone been able to get this to work on any UK network?

If it doesn't show as 'Provisioned' under the *#*#4636#*#* menu, it's not available. You're using OOS, right? I'm not sure there's any method to force the issue. Maybe a Magisk module?
Or start using Custom ROMs?

Is this operator dependent or phone software. No idea how to add a module but should be able to figure that out.

Adding the Toggles to Settings is the easy bit. It doesn't mean a thing as far as getting the functions working though. The ROM, and specifically the telephony parts of it, need to have all the necessary code added. We know that 3 can add the bits needed on phones where they have control over the software updates. Otherwise it's down to the Manufacturer/ROM.
You never know, OOS Pie might have this working natively. You could ask in the Community Beta thread to see if anyone there has any idea. Or wait a while longer until OOS Pie is in Stable channel. (I assume you don't want to try the Community Beta?)

I'm not surprised. I doubt it's high on their list of priorities. Especially as a lot of this stuff is carrier specific. They probably expect the carriers themselves to add the necessary modifications before the units get into the hands of customers, which is what happens most of the time. Except, Oneplus phones are usually bought off contract as nobody here offers them with contracts.

The provision toggle shows up now when I am back in the UK. Might try to install lineage to see if it helps.

Did you end up getting this to work on lineage? I'm having the same problem and the three in touch app has just stopped working for me.

Haven't gotten around rooting and installing it. I have volte in most of the flat so the phone kinds works at home.

Fair enough, thanks for the reply. If I end up getting it working I'll report back

Tried to figure out how to instal lineage on my phone but I got stranded after installing ADB on my laptop. My problem is that most of the guides assumes that you know what you are doing in minute detail and therefore leave out quite a lot of steps. It also seems like you will lose all your data which means you need to back it up and to back it up you need to root the device which whips the data... Installing twrp seems also to wipe your data which is a bummer as you need that to do the backup of your phone.
As you can see I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't

Tried today to install lineage and I cannot say I'm impressed with the various guides I found. The lineage os wiki page omitted various steps such as which entry you needed to edit in the environment variables. There are several to choose from. Nor did it not mention that you need to enable unlocking the bootloader. Had to Google that to figure out how to get around that error
Installing twrp didn't work as it didn't recognise the file. Tried three different workarounds that didn't work. (File extension, dropping the twrp image onto the command window after typing the fastboot flash recovery line and moving the image to the desktop and the ADB folder.
Why do the people who write these guides assume you have extensive knowledge of installing ROMs instead of including all necessary steps. Needless to say, I failed to install lineage.
Rant over.

[Magisk] Tethering Enabler

This is an update of this module, which hasn't been updated since Magisk v10. Additionally, I've disabled connection to the dun APN, making it appear as normal data. I'm intending to add TTL fixing in my next update.

Hi,
Okay, so I downloaded it and went into Magisk 19.3 >> Modules >> + >> Browse
I went to it, tapped on the Zip and it just showed me what was in the Zip. It didn't grab it to install it like it normally does.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thx

Make sure that you click the ZIP and click the button that says "Select" that should be at the top. That's my experience with Q on a Pixel 2 at least, but it's worth trying.

Thank you for your response. Once I tap the file, it immediately shows me what's in it, like if you were using a Zip tool and selected "Open" instead of "Extract". I know I'm not supposed to extract it. I'm just relating an example of what I see happen.
I used (I believe it's called "Documents" for some weird reason) Android's built in file selector, like when you're granting access to your Ext SD. That one.

But I didn't even bother to ask how to use it. It doesn't install an app, which is how I'm used to, um, "make it look otherwise".

So it did finally install? If so, it should be working. USB Tethering works when you have your phone connected to a PC with a USB cable.

Yes, I did get it installed (see previous message), thank you.
Also, just FYI, I do understand about BT & USB. But I never use those for Tethering. What I'm used to doing (with an app) is to run the app and then it uses the phone's WiFi, but makes it like a Router and broadcasts out an SSID and others see that and using the Password that I set in the app, others can connect to my phone to use the Internet.
Would that still be considered "Tethering"? Or would that fall under "Mobile HotSpot"?
If the latter, then I assume that I would just go into my phone's Settings and Enable it?
If that's the case, did I read correctly that your Module makes it look like Mobile Data to the Carrier instead of Tethering/HotSpot?
Thx!
Posted from my way cool LG V20 (H910) Nougat 7.0

Tethering and Mobile Hotspot are essentially the same, and yes, you should be able to use the one in Settings for that. And yes, it should hide it from the carrier unless they are doing checks on the TTL, which is what I'm working on next.

Hi,
Okay, so theoretically, I just go into my Settings and Enable "Mobile HotSpot" and my phone will become a connection for others to connect to via their WiFi?
Assuming yes, but how would they know what SSID to look for and what Password to use?
I.e., all I see is a switch to turn "Mobile HotSpot" on. I don't see anywhere to set those things up and I certainly don't want to be wide open for anyone to connect.
Thank you for all your help! It really is very much appreciated! And just FYI, I have understood everything you've said so far.
Thx!

If you click on Mobile Hotspot (not just the toggle) it should take you to a menu where you can configure the SSID and password.

Way Cool, dude!
I'll try it tonight when my wife gets home, or in the morning and let you know how it goes.
Is there any way to confirm it's being seen as Mobile Data by my Carrier?
Let me explain that it's not that my Carrier doesn't allow Tethering. They just limit it to a small amount and then you have to pay for "X" amount (plans).
So as you can tell, I obviously don't want the Tethering I do to be seen as Tethering.
Thx
Posted from my way cool LG V20 (H910) Nougat 7.0

I'm not going to personally confirm whether it'll be seen as mobile data or tethering, as some carriers do nasty tricks such as checking the TTL of packets to see whether or not it's tethered, but for most carriers, it should work fine.

Posted from my way cool LG V20 (H910) Nougat 7.0

It should, though I'm not sure how long that'll take. It requires a kernel module as far as I can tell, and there are solutions for some devices out there already. However, this is very dependent on the kernel installed, and Android doesn't have a system like DKMS. So I'm looking for a solution to that.

I'm able to tether with this, but I have no internet access. I also noticed that if I USB tether I get no internet access. Would this be an example of the carrier doing tricks to prevent it? FWIW I'm running a moto G6 on consumer cellular (which makes use of at&t's network).

I have installed this lastest module, I can bypass carrier lock and device can connect but no Internet. If I look at the device I am hotspotting from it shows 0 devices connect. I am running a rooted Pixel XL with 9.0 pixel dust rom and Magisk 19.3

and does your internet phone works normally while another device use the tethering from it, too?

EX Kernel includes the patches for it, and if there's enough interest, I can upload a build that enables it on EX Kernel only for the moment. And yes, my phone's internet works fine while another device is tethering. Your phone is essentially acting as a router when tethering.

No, it won't "just work" on the LOS kernel. Tell them to include the module "xt_HL.ko" for all devices (the kernel module for the iptables mangle table) and it will. Until they do or I find a generic way to get it working, EX is the only kernel I can reasonably support.

Android 9 update broke ability to Wifi Tether without root!

no. But if I can root this thing and that allows me to enable thethering, then I will go that route.
Otherwise, I might just downgrade to 8.1. 9.0 doesnt seem to be any different anyway. And I need tethering... Like right now, I am trying to verify my VNC works from outside my LAN... I used to just connect my phone to my laptop and bam, I can prove it works from a different IP.
Freaking frustrating. Every version of android tries to lock down Wifi Tether. I paid for my 5GB allotment, why the hell do they care how I use it?

Wait what carrier are you with? And simple to make more money you have your normal internet on your plan And then you have the 1-100GB for tethering that you can add on to your plan for a certain amount of money, me being in sprint on the highest plan I get 10GB for hotspot/tethering.

I'm on cricket. Why would I pay extra to use the same 5GB that i never use up every month? It's stupid. You're right, it's a scam. That's why I want to hack the tether for free. I have always found a way to do it in the past... and it worked on this phone with android 8....

i tried. its not just a carrier block... android 8 worked fine with "settings database editor" app. after android 9 update it no longer works. I do get past the authorization check but then it pops up "something wrong with the network, check carrier"

There is a Magisk Module that supposedly works but you would have to personally check.

I upgraded my LM-V405QA to Pie and can native tether just fine. Since it is the unlocked version it does not perform any entitlement check.
It sounds like perhaps whatever you did to enable tethering on Android 8 no longer works the same way on 9, and that is why you get that message.
The module that @Ainz_Ooal_Gown mentioned does not appear in Magisk for me, however "MagiskHide Props Config" does. Using that you can set net.tethering.noprovisioning=true and reboot to bypass entitlement check.
