Anyone having success? This is the make or break for me right now.
I have Portable WiFi Hotspot installed and it works perfectly.

Those with unlimited data plans do not get free tethering, it is blocked and requires you to pay for it.

There is always the chance of bricking when you flash anything. The universe could decide your house no longer needs power in the middle of the flash and you could be in a world of hurt because of it. Not likely though. Many (including myself) have flashed using this method with outstanding success. And as for advantages. Root is what I needed to get wifi tethering to work, remove bloatware, and run many purchased apps that required root.
I posted this earlier but will post it again for how I achieved wifi tethering:
"Just got flawless wifi tether running with TrevE's modded wifitether.
Can be found in his original post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1988735
I used the WifiTether-TrevE_Mod_11_22_2012_driverReload2
My settings:
Device Profile: Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)
Setup Method: Netd-NDC (master)
Send Netd Max Client Cmd - Checked
Wifi-driver reload 2 - Checked
Routing fix - Checked"
Happy rooting!

Not true at all.
I have unlimited and i use portable hotspot which bypasses the VZ activation and I've never been charged.
The WiFi Tether - TrevE Mod method did not work for me.
However, this simple little app does work:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kr.core.technology.wifi.hotspot&hl=en
I guess the authentication system used by Verizon isn't all that robust, if all you need is a simple app that doesn't even require root to bypass the subscription check and start the native WiFi tethering. Heh.
I have this issue nonstop.. It's random and annoying..
I've gone an hour or two without problems and then all of the sudden 4g icon disappears and comes back over and over until I stop tethering and restart it.. and then it happens immediately.. If I keep restarting tethering eventually it will hang on without dropping out but it will start it's crap again eventually.
I could have sworn Trev-E caused the phone to do the same thing. I want to say the issue is the phone and or the radio firmware.. possibly the kernel?

Is there a thread on how to set it up properly to work on the VZW note2? It always crashes for me when I try to start it up.
These settings for TrevE Mod have worked perfectly for me on Vzw since the first day I rooted. Also, make sure you have the right version from 11/22/2012 and uninstall any old versions, apparently it does not upgrade very well. Good luck.

I've heard that Foxfi doesn't work with the Droid DNA--is there any way to use turn this device into a mobile hotspot without having it pre-included in my data plan?
This is my first smartphone; I've been using my Nexus 7 and a dumb phone for the past few months now, and I felt I should upgrade to a smartphone since I'm not living on campus anymore. This seems like a great phone in and of itself, but I'd still like the option to tether my tablet. Any suggestions?
As long as you are rooted, you can use WiFi Tether For Root Users (yellow WiFi bars picture) and it will tether just fine. You won't need to include tethering in a data plan to use it.

unless you have unlimited you dont need to pay for it in your data plan, they cant charge twice for limited data

Yeah but that's one more app running in the background. If you have that feature built in the os why not run the native app IF it works? That's why I'm asking... does it work?

It only runs in the background if you have it turned on and you are using it, just like any stock app.
Wow....I cant seem to get wifi tether working. Have all the settings checked properly. Wlan0, routing fix, auto,....It starts with errors. Looking at the log all are red but three. Any suggestions?.....and no i cant use built in app....unlimited data i have...thanks in advance...

I am seeing exactly the same issue. Numerous errors on starting, unable to tether. Or more precisely, other devices can see the hotspot and tether to it, but do not get Internet access.
My main problem is that my phone will show up as a device instead of a router (like it used to on my OG Incredible), thus not allowing other phones or tablets to connect to it because they don't see the connection. Laptops work find though. I use "wireless tether for root users" with the green signal symbol and not the newer version because the new one doesn't show the data speeds and total data used in the app.
I am using the latest yellow version and both my Galaxy Note and Lenovo laptop tether to it but do not get Internet access.
sorry for jumping on old post.
Just wondering. On my moto droidbrazr maxxbi did an sqlight hack to bypass the entitlement check and was able to use the stock hotspot app even though i was on unlimited data. Would a similar work around work for dna?

LOL for anyone still using the DNA, I just installed NuSense Six and FoxFi works perfectly - not ad-hoc, full infrastructure mode, so it will work with devices other than PCs.

I'm using all stock roms (I was s-off and flashed stock recovery, grabbed OTAs, flashed TWRP recovery). I installed SuperSU & BusyBox than was able to tether using Barnacle Wifi Tether~ it gave me an error for adhoc but I was able to click associate and use my 4g on an iPad.(Also checked external IPs & ran speedtests to confirm it was using 4G)
Not working for me. It gets stuck at "please wait while starting". And just spins. I can back out of it but nothing good happens.
The app works and I changed the mobile settings to ipv4..it still is using the hotspot data..does any one have all the correct settings? Thank you and thanks to all the developers for their great work.

I have been noticing that on the lg g4 and now the v10 that mobile my account shows small usage of mobile data but not the actual amount I used. I might just be a mobile thing. Not quite sure but I too saw the same thing. But I also watched a week's worth of anime on my laptop via router and only was a 20mb increase in hotspot usage.
What are your mobile settings and the app settings? Thanks

I used all the same as the stock apn except I changed to ipv4...I assume you're rooted. Did you turn off the wifi scan setting under wifi?
Yes, I'm rooted and the scanning is off. I have even emailed the developer of the app. His last response was that I need a vpn.
There must be some sneaky software tracking whether you have tethering enabled. My Hotspot Data is being used/throttled no matter if I'm behind a VPN or tethering to another Android phone.
I'm rooted, removed all of the suspicious looking system apps, and set the APN settings to what I've always used before. I'm at the point of giving up and probably just going to use another phone to tether until a stable custom ROM is released.
I used to have this problem on my old Note 4 where the WiFi Tether app was working perfectly but Tmo was still tracking my data usage. The workaround that I found was to connect to a private VPN on my laptop. I used Private Internet Access to hide my IP and then I was able to tether off my phone with Tmo no longer capturing data used. I'm not sure if it will work on my new v10 though since I haven't gotten around to rooting it yet. I think there's a free Google Chrome extension that will do that same thing and for free. I forgot the name, sorry.
On my note 3 the guide I followed said I had to change the build file in a couple spots and then it worked perfect if that helps u guys out at all I really want this but can't use a vpn bc ps4 won't allow it with online gaming and my phone all I got out here in the woods
Every so often I will pick up my phone and notice that my phone is using mobile data at the same time that my wifi is connected. I have noticed this off and on since day one but havent thought of asking if anyone else is experiencing this.
When I notice it, I disable wifi and re-enable it which usually takes care of the issue.
The problem is that I only get 3gb of data a month and when I am on wifi, I should not be using my mobile data.
Attached is a screenshot showing both 4G LTE and Wifi connected at the same time.
I couldn't begin to guess the cause of your problem but I think I can suggest a workaround.
Download Tasker and create a profile that disables mobile data when connected to certain wifi connections. Should help
Make sure your mobile data setting isn't on. Advanced Wi-Fi Settings.

Thanks swimm12984. I had thought about that as well
prp2: that's not a setting in Advanced Wifi
I'm thinking this is intentional. To be able to reliably do a WiFi to VoLTE or GSM handoff when using WiFi calling, for example, the phone needs to periodically maintain a connection with the mobile network. Otherwise, if you happen to lose wifi signal or walk out of signal range, your call will drop.
I noticed this on my Note 3 as well when I was using it on WiFi, but only after they issued an update to 'fix' wifi to volte/gsm handoff issues.
Try disabling VoLTE in your calling settings and see if it still occurs.

That actually makes sense. I had wifi-calling turned off but didn't think of turning VoLTE off as well. I will not be able to tell right away as it happened sporadically but I will comment back after a day or so.

Ah, in that case, I can almost guarantee that's what it is. If VoLTE is on, but wifi calling is off, then it will have to maintain it's connection to the data network for sure! Let us know how it goes, but I'm pretty confident

Your mobile data will also turn on while on WiFi if you're sending/receiving MMS with a third-party SMS app, like Textra. Those apps do not have access to WiFi Calling on the V10 so they must use mobile data for MMS.

The core job of Hotspot it to share your mobile data with other devices through Wi-Fi.

Is data transfer is taking place or not while hotspot is enabled?
Maybe it's due to low data transfer rate you were not able to use it while hotspot is enabled.
