Tether - AT&T HTC One (M8)

Does anyone know if there's something I can delete in titanium backup to get unlimited tethering? I know on my old Samsung's there was something and I don't want to just go around deleting random things

Does your plan include tethering ? If so you don't need to delete anything..which I think most higher plans do now

I was grandfathered in to the unlimited plan. I do not have tethering. I relied on custom rims basically to get rid of the tether block

Devs doing roms here should know how to enable tethering, I have it enabled on mine but unless on custom rom and rooted doesnt help much...Knoxraid just released a rom, see if its unlocked on his...but to answer your question no its not something you can just delete and itll work....sorry...

On the Droid razr (vzw) I used a sql editor to open settings.db and there was an option called entitlement check, and I had to change that to 0 instead of 1.
No clue if anything like this would work on the m8,as I don't have mine yet.

Someone said adding tethering_dun_required=0 to settings.db would do it, but I tried it and it didn't work. I rebooted the phone and verified the new setting is in there as below, but trying to start the hotspot resulted in the same "call 611" bull**** as before:
% adb shell sqlite3 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db 'select * from global where name = \"tether_dun_required\"'
106|tether_dun_required|0
%
I'm using KnoxRaid ROM which is based on the AT&T firmware. I haven't tried, but I'm willing to bet the international version roms don't have this problem.
edit: Just tried flashing ARHD, which is based on the international stock ROM, on my AT&T device and mobile hotspot works out of the box.

I can tell you the HTC One M8 for Windows (Verizon Wireless) variant despite being unlocked for GSM, it didn't matter whether I used Straight Talk (AT&T) or a T-Mobile branded SIM card; it did not work...that said, this being an Android thread before I purchase a HTC One M8 Android - either an AT&T variant or Developer Edition variant, I wanted to double check with y'all as to whether like my HTC One M7 64GB DE if I also had to root and custom flash for example with ARHD 43.0 to enable the mobile network share aka wi-fi hotspot on the device? It works to perfection on my M7 with ARHD 92.0. (And before some jackass gets on here and tells did I search for this; yes, I did). Thanks everybody; take care and have a wonderful day!

Foxfi STILL blocked after root

The biggest reason I'm looking for an att version of the hox+ Rom is to use tethering while at work. I don't abuse my data it's just real handy to browse when big brother isn't watching
As of now I rooted my hox+ an nd installed foxfi With the add on, but I'm still getting the message "to enable tethering call 611 or go-to my wireless.com
Anyone know of any solutions

Did fox fi ask for root?
See this post to enable wifi tethering. I am using the built-in tether, but I'm pretty sure this would work for Foxfi too.
Update: tried the method at the top of the linked thread, which was to delete ATT_Hotspot .apk and the .odex, with a restart. Neither Fox fi nor the HTC hot spot works yet. Still tells me to call 611.
Trying the second method using the script editor soon.

Let us know if it works for you after doing the FULL steps including the script editor. Just hate to pay any amount of cash to do probably this one thing with as i know nothing about script editing, lol! Would love to have this work on our devices and get away from the AT&T high rates they put on their customers! Thanks

Will the developer edition have AT&T bloatware?

Will it have AT&T bloat?
Will the WiFi hotspot work like it does on nexus even if you don't have the WiFi hotspot plan on your account?

It won't have AT&T bloat.
That will be nice. Now if only WiFi tethering will work for those of us on grandfathered unlimited data I'll be in heaven.

In that case will it have (Brightstar US) bloatware or system RW disabled like the stock ATT ROM?
The reason I say Brightstar US is because the ROM that is available on the HTC Dev site shows carrier as )Brightstar US).

It won't have any bloatware. It will be what HTC intended it to be. It might have whatever HTC put on there (7 digital maybe?), but nothing else. And tethering should work. If you flash the international rom it works too.
However, I wouldn't be able to flash the WWE or any other international ROM as somebody stated in another thread as I would need super CID?
Also if that's the case is Super CID possible with the (One) with Hex editing or something of that sort?

Tethering works perfectly for me on ARHD 10.2 (which is what I'm guessing you meant to type). Just go to settings, hit more,mobile network shareing, then go into portable wifi hotspot settings, name your hotspot and PW, then hit the checkbox. I had no problem.
Just curious, when you did your install with AROMA, did you hit AT&T, or international?

There is NO guide for ADHD 10.2 its an international rom which means there is NO AT&T stuff blocking use of tether, you must be doing something WAY wrong.

I've tethered multiple times in the past, and have never had AT&T bring up the issue. Just don't abuse it.

No.... Using the "phone" apn yes, at 5GB of usage I get throttled down to .047mbps down.
Then I just switch over to the wap.cingular APN and BAM pulling 6-10mbps down on H+/3G. No throttling here..
This thread is a bit confusing to me.
Are you guys saying AT&T charges extra for tethering?
ATT charges $$$ for a seperate data plan which lets you tether Internet, which is also limited to about 5gb or 3gb, not too sure. If you use tethering on a regular phone (stock rom with bloatware- fresh from the store), they would probably charge you for tethering because of the detection apk they put in there.
The way to bypass this is to use a custom rom, Internet tethering should work on it, maybe you could reflash/ reset the phone (all the settings and whatnot) maybe try a different rom?
Also, I diddnt know you could bypass ATT throttle, could you post all the complete APN settings to do that?
Cheers,
OK, please forgive me for being slow. You only save money if you're tethering from a phone with unlimited data plan, right? If you're on a limited plan, it doesn't matter and AT&T should not charge you extra, right?

If you go over the limit on a limited plan, they charge you extra $$$. I think it is $20 for 1 more GB.
If you are detected tethering on a stock ATT phone, they will probably charge you for tethering plan
If you are on unlimited data, you may lose it (plan) if you are detected tethering (stock phone),
if you go over limit 5GB for 4g LTE phone they will just throttle you.
Undetected tethering/ Custom ROM with removed att protection = only worry about going over the limit
Cheers,

Ask other people it doesn't change anything. It allows you to use native tethering to use a custom Rom but that's it doesn't change anything else

I agree. The only thing Att or carriers look at is the amount of data being used periodically or the mac/ip address. Carriers have the ability to tell the difference from our phone using data or tethering, especially if data patterns changes.

Heck I use a lot of data tether and through phone anywhere between 5gb and 50

Why not use stock app? It's what I use, after the fix if course, which will require a hard reset or fresh flash.

Need tethering app that actually works

ATT wants $50 more on top of the $160 we are already paying to upgrade the data plan in order to enable tethering on my HTC One X. This is robbery. I've tried three tethering apps and my phone is rooted. Nothing seems to work.
Please advise.

Yeah, I don't like the plan games and don't have time to figure that mess out. I'd rather stick with root and figure out a tethering method that works. What is the best app to make this happen?
There is a way to use ES file explorer... I don't remember exactly how it is, look for it

flash a custom rom then you can easily achieve tethering
if you want to stay stock rooted, there's a mod to remove AT&T from the signal bar so it just shows 3G, H+...etc that will also allow you to tether directly from the built in hot spot. forgot the mod name otherwise i would have thrown you a link. you can probably find it on xda

That's fantastic news. When rooting the first time, I used this toolkit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2587677. It has run apps requiring root so I think it is still rooted although I wish it would tell me when it updates because ATT no longer seems to find any except for individual apps. Once I got it rooted, I didn't follow through with a custom ROM because I didn't know how to check the popularity and stability of them. I would love to have tethering so that I can hot spot my phone when needed, and I would also like to have 'real' call recording as opposed to microphone based call recording. Assistance in where to go with this would be greatly appreciated.
