No all the updates are available for the hotspot mod to work on 4.3. Here's a thread related to going from MF9 to MJA
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2509605
And here is one about doing so without installing the new samsung bootloader.

Did you solve it?
Were you using a hack for tethering or is it included in your plan?

Yea, might not be able to use the stock VZW Hotspot without modification.
Users are reporting FoxFi works.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.foxfi
This one is a paid option, but will work too:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.snclab.wifitetherrouter
Believe there is a way to remove the tethering restriction by installing a modded framework as well, but depends on your build version.

International Roms or other than stock Tmo rom

Hello am new to S5 community was wondering if possible to run S5 international ROM on Tmo S5. I had tried lollypop international ROM it booted and worked fine only issue was no mobile data connection or volte and WiFi calling.. Am currently on alliance 4.4.2 with no hope of Tmo 5.0 update need my lolly fix any pros out there have any input for S5 nubi.. Missing S4
Well that would be the problem with all international Roms
Only T-Mobile software will have Wi-Fi calling and the like.
Mobile data should work just fine but you would need to put in the APN settings for it.
CM12 works perfectly on the G900T.

I have my VisionX rom working on the tmo device, and yes it is international. Give it a try, it works very well....follow the instructions, keep in mind you lose your wifi calling using international roms.

You can't upgrade if you're rooted, you'll have to flash a KDZ back to 12b and update from there. Opinions will vary, but i was rooted and xposed on 4.4.2, when i upgraded to 5.0 it took me about an hour to flash my KDZ back to 12b because i was unhappy with it overall. You can root 5.0 and their is a very alpha version of xposed out that needs to be flashed from a recovery and only about 30 modules or so at this point that are working. Sorry I can supply anymore info but this may help bump attention to get the rest of your answers.
One last note is if you dont mind the factory resets, and if you go with a KDZ, once everythings set up it takes less than a few minutes to flash the KDZ from a computer with the phone in download mode, so if you're not happy you can jump back to 4.4.2 if you'd like.
Thanks, im wonder why you was unhappy for and thanks for the heads up. I dont mind factory reset my phone and the whole nine yards. But before i go and get android 5 i want to know how good or bad it is and hope it answers my questions
I also forgot one more question. Has xprivacy got an update that it fully works on android 5. Ever since i was told about it i loved it. I tried useing cm12 or 13 forgot what cm h3ld android 5. But i tried to install it and it notified me it didnt support lollipop if it dose i might be thinking of xsposed framework

Pardon my ignorance (I'm good with HTC and Samsung device terms, but not so much on LG), but what is KDZ and is there instructions for doing what you explain somewhere on XDA?
I only ask as my wife has a G3 with Verizon that is stock Kit Kat, rooted and bumped. I am interested in knowing how to get her phone on stock lollipop.

Native Tether on 5.0.1?

I've done a search and can't find an answer. I'm still grandfathered under the unlimited data and use the tether frequently. I am on 4.4.2 stock rooted with with Xposed module Moto Tether which works great. I would like to upgrade to Lollipop but need to know if Moto Tether works on 5.0.1. Or if Muniz_ri 's add on zip file here will work. My fear is to upgrade to stock OC1 and then for it to not work and then cannot downgrade.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
