Is there a way to get the LGOG to allow usb tether when you don't use AT&T? I have stock, rooted AT&T JB on the phone. I'm using T-mobile for service. I read in another post that when the phone tries to tether it looks on your phone for the proper code from the carrier. can I bypass this? Thanks for your help.

Hello all,
I will be soon getting this at&t optimus g and I have data plan which allows tethering.
I will be unlocking this phone for using it on my airtel sim in india.
Last I had att phone,it was giving me errors to enable tethering and I am not sure if att would allow tethering on unlocked phone.
I did google but did not see any options to enable tethering.
what are my options to enable tether and remove all the bloat of at&t??
As I see,
1) Flash the international or canadian ROM of stock variety and use tether.
2) any other option
I want to stay stock jelly bean.
pls help.
thanks.

did that last at&t phone give you trouble with tethering on a non-at&t network? If that is true, then I guess it is the case that the phone requires authentication from the network before it will enable tethering. interesting. I know that with previous phones I had to flip a bit (enable -> disable) for some entry in a system SQLite DB so that the phone would stop trying to authenticate my tethering. I was rooted, and using wifi-tether, but it wouldn't work unless I turned that thing off.
On *this* phone, you always have the option of using wifi-tether and then you don't have to mess with the tethering authentication at all. All I did was root, download wifi-tether and set the profile to SGSIII. Things may have changed with jellybean, though.
Last phone were two actually.
First was motorola atrix 4g and then lumia 900.
Both had this issue.
Now I want to stay as stock rom as possible as I don't want to fiddle too much and waste efforts and all.
I was thinking,
Some carriers allow tethering by default.
What will happen if I root,bootloader unlock the device and flash different carrier firmware like say Canadian firm ware ?
Can it work out?
Making this e970 convert to say canadian or international ?
Can we debrand this device,we don't have any lte networks which are cellphones compatible.
So wont mind giving up on lte.
Thanks for reply.

Working for LGOG too...
I'm stock, rooted, and unlocked. I use the tethering feature with no problems all the time. It authenticates just fine.

Hi, I was wondering if method using sqlite to enable tethering for the lgogpro will work the same with our lgog?

Hey guys,
A friend of mine just bought a Verizon S4, new in the box. Unfortunately he updated to OF1. He's on the Verizon network, but he's not under any sort of contract. So as far as I know, he should be eligible to have it unlocked by Verizon.
I'm reading that there is no current root method for OF1. If he gets the phone unlocked, will he have the ability to flash a third party (rooted) ROM? Or is he SOL?
All he really wants to do is enable wifi tethering. I know how to do this with root. And I know FoxFi can do this without root, but the lock screen requirement plus giving them the ability to snoop all traffic via trusted certificate sets off too many alarm bells for my liking.
Thanks.
Edit: I mixed up sim unlocking and bootloader unlocking, so disregard all that. I'd delete the whole thread and start one specific to tethering if I could, but I can't. If anyone has any recommendations on unlocking wireless tethering without root, I'd appreciate it.
I just don't understand, both my & wife's phone can wifi tether straight out of the box. It's under wifi settings. I don't see why you can not either. I have used it to connect my touch computer to Internet or whatever else I need to connect.

I believe it depends on your plan. When he enables the mobile hotspot, it says something about asking the carrier for permission. It then fails and says that his plan does not allow tethering.
I'm on AT&T, not Verizon, so I'm not familiar with the exact plan names. But I think the new "Share Everything" plan or whatever it's called allows tethering. He's grandfathered in on the old unlimited data plan.
Is there any workaround for using wifi tether? I have cricket and when I try to tether it tries to authenticate through at&t authentication garbage. This phone was given to me for free and I love it besides not being able to change the ROM. It's alright but not being able to tether really sucks.
It happen the same for me, I bought it contract free to use it in my country and with all of these blocks of ATT I can't use a lot of features
I have off topic question will att g5 unlocked work on sprint or verizon
I bought a [email protected] s6 sm-g920a but I can't root it and some feature don't work on my network. Can someone recommend the right phone? Should I get T-mobile?
Yes, the T-Mobile or official Metro one. Probably a lot easier to get the T-Mobile one, but I don't think the wifi calling and/or tethering would work, if you need those features. You should be able to fix the tethering with root though.
I have my att phone unlocked when I run mobile hotspot it says authentication error. other people that use this network say their phone doesn't ask for authentication. phone is unrooted and so is the one that works. no I don't want to use foxfi to usb tether.
Your phone is carrier unlocked ? In that is the case, then it might have to do with the way AT&T offers this mobile hotspot service() so asking some questions is what I would do. Also have a look over and see if it makes any sense http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s4/318149-mobile-hotspot-does-not-work-unlocked-t-s4-3.html , I just found it on google
my new provider is saying I would need a att sim to do mobile hotspot. I am capable with the service I get with my new provider its just locked to att sim. this is crazy and I really don't want to root it to edit one file, kind of a moot point anyway since there is no root for the 820
