Thanks for that. Successfully did this for both Att & Vz variants.

Works! Successfully tested on SM-G900T1 MetroPCS running ViSX ROM (T-Mobile)

It works for a few hours. Woke up this morning and the same device connected said that it could not connect to the Internet. Still looking into it

Muniz, I found out that if I set my data to WCDMA (4G) it enables the Hotspot and let's users get on the Internet. When I enable 4GLTE, it disables access to the Internet. Do you know any way around it?

Are you saying that the mod is not necessary and hotspot can be enabled for all by switching to wcdma? Is this true for both MetroPCS and Tmobile?

No man, what I'm saying is that the mod works fine only on basic 4G. Not 4GLTE.

Got it, but I don't know what could be causing that. Others using the mod will have to chime in if they are having the same issue.

I would love to test it out on 4GLTE. Do you think there could be a check that stops it from enabling Internet for other devices?

Other devices should just see it as any other wifi access point. I am on att and lte is working without issues. Others on vz are also not having issues. I would be interested in hearing if tmobile users are having the same issue.

It's as if 4GLTE is blocked. If other variants are working. There has to be a setting that I could set inside my phone that should enable Internet.

can confirm not working on [ROM] Twi5ted Lollipop 5.0 V1 i am however using the native tether app.would it make a difference if i were use WiFi Tether Router byFabio Grasso,that was the app i was using on 4.2.

The native hotspot in the stock tmobile rom and the tmobile 5.0 visionx rom creates its own apn settings and always defaults and reverts to pc.tmobile.com apn. This mod will only disable tethering verification and turn hotspot on. The only method I found to work is to make tethering apn and lte apn editable through customer.xml file using root Explorer. LTE apn needs to be set to ipv/4 only, turn on hotspot and go to settings, apn, and delete the tethering apn. You have to delete tethering apn every time you connect to the hotspot because the apn gets recreated by the app. If someone could figure out why it gets recreated that'd be awesome so the hotspot could default to LTE fast t-mobile.com apn. I can't find anything even changing the tethering apn in customer.xml file doesn't work. It gets recreated every time you turn on hotspot, but can be deleted once made editable through customer.xml file.

Lol, clearly stated. Anyways, my APNs are set to fast.metropcs.com. Not the default tmobile ones. It doesn't create any extra APNs.
In the customers.Xml, the LTE is ipv4 because I changed it thinking that the different protocols would interfere with the Internet access but it didn't. So I don't understand why it's still just 4G instead of LTE that is allowed through... Muniz, you think there is an area in the xml that we could change to test? Since there is a TMOBILE US Tethering section or something similar to that in that xml

If it's not too much of an issue, do you think you can post the customer xmls for both the Att and Verizon variants. To see if there's anything in there?
Also, do you know why it is only 4G speeds that are capable of going through?

Attached is the Vz customer.xml, it is very different. Also, try changing "pcweb.tmobile.com" to "fast.t-mobile.com" on line 348 of the Tmobile customer.xml. Worth a shot.

(Fixed) How to enable wifi hotspot using AT&T set

I have an AT&T set but it is now unlock and use in my country where I have no issue to use wifi tethering with my service provider in Singapore.
However each time I try to turn on wifi hotspot, it said go to AT&T url or dial 611 to use.
Can someone help? My device is already rooted. Thanks in advance
Updated : thanks to kiwi45. Just add tether under apn default type (default,tether)
Sent from my Motorola Atrix
i had this problem too, but i installed the gingerblur script (dev forum) and since you get the option to remove "bloatware", i am guessing there is an application in the phone that detects personal hotspot without an att tethering account.
you might want to freeze in titanium backup unneeded programs, there's a list on the forums
same problem
I search a solution in google,but,no result.
Anyone know it? please help us!!

You have to set your APN for your own carrier. Whatever works on AT&T does not matter in SG.

try turning on your wifi before you turn on mobile hotspot. i get stuck at the setting up data link too when i don't have wifi enabled.
Anyway, when I use aroot, I don't need to add tether on my apn setting. Unless you are using super one click. Btw, all using soc should update to aroot to clean up the mess.
Updated: I still need to add tether on the apn after testing even I use aroot.

d-oh! i always tried enabling wifi after turning it on. now it works. thanks. but it still has a bug, because it won't let you disable hotspot if you don't turn on wifi first, you need a reboot
I still get stuck on setting up data link. I make sure wifi is enabled and when I click hotspot, wifi turns off. I rooted aroot over soc. Any ideas?
nvm I got it to work. Right after I selected hotspot, I pressed home and turned on wifi. That seemed to work.

I ended up adding "default,tether" to the APN type of my, manually entered, Rogers APN. This got the the tether working. Albeit it took a very long time for it to get the data network ready to use, but it worked. Perhaps the most disappointing thing is that the speed is ridiculously slow. On device, I get 3-6Mbps/380kbps, but via tethering the best I have been able to get is 500kbps/350kbps.
Anyone have any insight as to why the tethered speed is crushingly slow?

In a word, yes. The validation check seems to be checking if the tether type is there. I combed through the sqlite scripts and scoured the forums, etc.
The speed issue seems to be resolved today; it might have been a network issue.

NC5 Hotspot Mod not working.

I was just wondering if this was something blocked by Sprint. I'm on the old One Up unlimited everything plan. I never have this problem on AOSP!<br/>

Which NC5 hotspot mod did you try installing? As far as I'm aware, there's no "mod" which work for stock NC5. You can try a custom NC5-based ROM which includes wifi tethering. These have worked for me with no issues.
If you're running the stock NC5, one thing you can try is getting your MSL and adding "dun" to your apns. The process is outlined in this thread.

Possible to get Sprint LTE on AOSP Roms?

I am currently running a V30+ on Sprint's network using the latest Resurrection Remix build. No matter what I do, I cannot manage to get LTE working. Sprint's LTE Internet APN selected and for network typed, I have CDMA + LTE/EvDo. I tried selecting only LTE, but I would not get any service even after reboots.
I've also tried the following steps:
1.) Flash AOSP ROM and make a backup
2.) Go back to Sprint Stock Rom
3.) Go through the setup process and wait until phone is connected and LTE is working.
4.) Restore AOSP backup
And still no LTE. What else can I do? Flash modem or would I have to edit build.prop?
Yes, it's very possible. I've gotten it working on the Aosip unofficial before. What made the LTE work for me was replacing the rom's modem with Sprint's official modem for the V30.

Question, did you flash Lineage and waited until you got LTE and then dirty flashed DotOS? Or did you do a clean install of DotOS?
Also, what do you have selected as Preferred Network Type?
EDIT: Ignore those questions, all is working perfectly fine! Thank you so much, just had to edit the APN's. I believe I was using old ones and that's why I wasn't getting LTE! Thank you so much!

Delete the MMS proxy and port from APN. It should show "not set" for MMS port and proxies after. Also change network from "global" to "CDMA/LTE evdo". Hope this helps

Depends on the ROM. Most AOSP you just have to edit APN's. Depending on the stock ROM, you will need to flash modem and then edit APN's.

Any specific rom you can recommend? Every AOSP rom I've tried doesn't let me add dun. I'm back on stock now have it working, but still not as good as when I was on my pixel. For example, Netflix won't work on my TV and it won't let me chromecast it from my phone. Which kinda sucks. YouTube casts fine. I've kinda accepted it, but it would be nice to have it working.

Same thing been happening to me recently, is this something up with Sprint's end? IDK I asked about this happening a month ago and no one really seemed to have answers on the lgv30 chat. I can get APN settings to show up by removing the SIM card. and editing them then but even then my settings don't stick across reboots. I can usually get messaging to work by calling myself but that also doesn't stick.

my plan also includes wifi-calling, but i cant find the setting to turn it on
I've been trying to find a way to enable this so I can fully switch over from my note 9.
From what I've read WiFi Calling won't work on a non-carrier ROM. I've read that Verizon may soon support this phone and they probably will have their own ROM that will support WiFi Calling.

Does it support regular 4g LTE for things like data as I read some places that it doesn't support it anyways thanks
I ended up returning the phone since it didn't support VoLTE or Wi-Fi Calling these are a must have for me.

It does support 4G data its 4G phone !
But you need to setup the APN for data to work !
It seems it cant get the APN automatically nor via SMS !
You can ask your carrier for the APN settings
