Anyone know how to get free tethering?

So I kinda recently got my Note 3, and in the past I have had the s4, running on international rom, which apparently has tethering built in so how can i tether for free on my note 3?
thanks!!

Until we get son roms, I'm not sure unless there is an xposed module to do it

So you are asking how to steal a service you are supposed to pay for through your data plan? As others have said, right now you can't do it. If you are with AT&T, the system and the phone actually check each other to verify your current account and data package allow for tethering and with AT&T only their 5GB plan allows tethering.

thanks a lot bro

First time Nexus owner, few simple questions.

Just switched to tmo and purchased a 64gb Nexus 6 from Motorola. Should be here next week.
I had a few device & carrier questions being this is my first Nexus device (besides tablets)
I will be using this device on T-Mobile but it's from the Moto store.
Who will I be getting updates from? T Mobile or Google directly?
I plan on flashing a custom rom (most likely Pure Shamu from what I've gathered) being that one model of nexus supports all carriers (radios).. I read that T-Mobile will be pushing an update to support wifi-calling (which I need in my home). Will that work on my particular device or is there a specific T-Mobile Nexus that I'd need?
Lastly, I do use wifi tether quite a bit, and on my current devices rom they have the unlimited wifi tether hack.
Is that something built into a rom or has to be done separately?
Thanks for any help that can be given.

Oh, forgot one question.
Also read up on the encryption ordeal.
I don't need that on my device but is there any benefit to have it or not have it enabled?
Again, thank you.

Nexus is GSM unlocked and should theoretically work on all carriers out of the box. I bought mine from the motorola store and is working without any problems.
Updates come from google directly.
If you want to use Wifi calling, I believe that you do have to be running stock firmware, nobody will know for sure until it gets released.
I believe Shamu allows you to bypass the tether limit. I'm currently using CM 12 and tethering doesn't count towards my tethering limit.
The only benefit of not having encryption enabled is faster boot times.

If you root your phone, you can add the hack yourself. I am on a stock rom, and my grandfathered data plan has no tethering allotment, but i can tether to my heart's content. I copied this from another thread:
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.
I hope this helps.

Definitely rooting and most like run a stockish custom rom. Hoping that's built in if not I'll take a look into that.
Most of the custom roms I've run on t-mobile have that built in and are preset to ipv 4 not 6 for that exact reason.

[Q] S6 WiFi Hotspot with root.

I read if I root my S6 from AT&T I will not be able to install a custom rom because of the locked bootloader. All I really want it to accomplish is to let me install a wifi hotspot app to let me use it for a portable hotspot. I did this with my S3 and it worked great. Do you think I will be able to make this work by using the S6 root that is out there in the market? Thank you,

What root in what market? Please link so we can weigh in with the right info. To attempt an answer, yes, you should be able to do this with SuperSu installed after you root, but it depends on the app. I would email the dev to see if they have tried their app on a S6. No sense bricking it over that.
Edit: also, are you on an old data plan that doesn't include hotspot? The newer ones include it.

I was looking at the Chainfire one on Youtube. I have an old unlimited data plan and am trying to avoid paying for the hotspot. The Chainfire site said using this on AT&T device might brick the phone, I should probably just wait until someone perfects a root for this device.
The hotspot app I was using on my S3 was Wifi tether router from Google Play store.

As far as I've seen there isn't root for the at&t s6.

PingPong Root (beta6) worked just fine on my SM-G920A (AT&T S6)... I did have to put it in airplane mode before the "Get Root" button actually worked, though. There seems to be something calling home that prevented it otherwise.

I still haven't found a method that works, and my grandfathered unlimited plan is sad because of it. I'll even pay for an app if it works...

Not yet. I have a pending query still in another thread: I'm on AOCE right now, and that tether patch will not work on anything but AOE2. It isn't clear if I can ODIN the AOE2 ROM over the top of my rooted AOCE (thereby nuking all my everything... ugh*) and then re-root, or if I have to ODIN all the way back to stock and start over (again, ugh*).
*My inertia level is pretty high, exceeded only by the level of activity I put into getting a new device to a solid steady-state and then I leave it alone for a Long Long Time(tm). Case in point: my S3 running rooted 4.1.2 died 2 nights ago, or I'd still be using that (laugh if you want, but it was super stable)... I was really only a week or so away from either pulling the trigger on a G920i unlocked/int'l version or going w/ the AT&T one and rooting it. Once folks confirmed PingPong Root worked, the decision was made easier, and then my phone dying on its own clinched it.
Worst-case, I guess I can schedule some offline time to go all the way back, but I really really really really don't want to. My phone generates employment/income, so when its offline, I'm losing money....

US S7/S7 Edge is locked down

Our phones are developmentally dead.

sadly yeah, aslong as we could find a way to get root im happy. all i want is adaway.

I don't think it's dead
If they found a way to develop for the S6 edge then I'm sure there's a way for the S7 Edge

Why are they dead? I just got this phone and curious why?

Did you try Adblock Fast that is build into Samsung 4.0? Download from App store and then manually setup using instructions.
I'm using it on my S7 with zero issues and no ads. Of course, limited to Samsung browser.

I'm using adguard which sets up personal VPN on phone to block ads. Seems to work for all apps but does hit battery life a bit. Worth it for me.

Yes. Legit. It got bad ratings but works perfect on my S7. I think people haven't realized you need Samsung Internet 4.0 or it won't work.

Bootloaders are locked. Flash secured and all. All us carriers, not the exynos, but all us snapdragons, including tmobile. We are on twitter and got a response from John Legere who claims to be working on a potential solution to at least getting tmobiles unlocked. Historically we have always been fine, but for some reason we aren't now. Doesn't make sense for the exynos to unlocked and SD to be locked imo

I'm sure something will come up eventually. Us folks on ATT are used to being screwed with the locked bootloaders. Think it might be new for T-Mobile users though. It might take a little longer, but ATT Samsung devices typically get root after some point.

I've had it since launch, my Nexus 6 basically died. I miss the debloating root allows, like how I'm forced to have the Directv app when I don't have any interest in having Directv. I do like it though it's a nice phone. If we can get root to remove the bloatware I'm for that otherwise I'll live with it for a year until something better drops.

I'm using it now as personal VPN on adguard was eating battery. Just make sure to set it for no ads (default is some safe ads). On some ads I was getting occasional pop-up ads.

It doesn't remove anything, it just disables apps that are able to be disabled. I can do that myself.

VPNs like Adguard don't "eat" battery. What your seeing is that the system attributes all battery used by apps that access the internet to the VPN.

Seems like Pre-Lollipop builds were always hacked for root. Also, at least on my S5 G900A, Pre-rooted 5.0 was able to be flashed as long as the BL was kept OA1 (KK 4.4.4). But if you took the OTA to 5.0, no root ever! Also they totally locked it down with 5.1. FU ATT!!!! :laugh::silly:
But they sure did get into that S6 pretty fast, didn't they? Go figure.
I applied to this Samsung Mobile Insights program. Might get a free G935A or G930A if accepted into it. I do not know how I will live without root, but at least it has a sdcard. I do not have a good feeling about a battery that does not come out though...
