Looking to enable the hotspot functionality on my Note 3. I am currently rooted, though no custom recovery. How would I go about getting a native hotpot mod without installing a custom recovery? Im not opposed to installing one, but ive read that it trips Knox.

TRUE, TRUE. If you install a recovery it will trip KNOX. your best bet is to go to Google play store and install the Paid version of hotspot tether it works, and the developer is could at keeping it up to date. Ya, your our out a couple of bucks but that's better than the $30 monthly fee from sprint. OR, you can flash through a RECOVERY a deodexed version of NC5 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2472664 THEN flash through a RECOVERY this free hotspot mod here http://kitkatkiller.eu/index.php?dir=SPRINT+GALAXY+NOTE+3/KITKAT+FILES/MODS/NC5 ENJOY !!!

Sorry, the one i linked works on nc5d 100% but in portrait mode only. I dont know anything about whats in fre3 2.16b rom. Sounds like you have custom recovery... backup and odin a stock tar then restore once youve grabbed your msl or maybe just call sprint to save yourself time.
Something I used to do back in the Hero and Evo 3d days was get my MSL and add it as a contact. Unfortunately, I didn't do that on the Note 3. Glad to see SPCUtility was upgraded to work on NC5. Now to make sure I always have my code. Do what you want with that tip. Thanks idone for all the neat stuff you are finding.

Now, before anyone confuses this with AT&T Smart Wifi on the market, I'm not asking for that (that app is garbage in my opinion.)
Now, to the task at hand...
Stock Samsung ROMs have something called AT&T Hotspot Manager embedded into the Wifi settings, which allow the automatic sign in of AT&T hotspots around the country without opening a browser to sign into the network.
I'm using CM9 nightlies at the moment, and upon installing the hotspot manager is not packaged with the nightlies. Not an issue regarding CM9, but I was wondering is there a download package or zip that I can install via CWM or any other method to regain this automatic sign in capability? I'm at a Starbucks and Barnes and Noble a lot, and found this aspect of the phone to be very useful.
Appreciate the timely replies
I'm curious about this too, I've settled in to AOKP after jumping around on ICS roms for a month or so and I just realized I'm not getting my hotspots anymore
I'll sniff around and edit this if I find anything useful, I'm not sure what exactly the hotspot manager was and why we wouldn't be able to just enter the settings for the hotspot into a standard wifi connection
Edit: So el goog wasn't very helpful, all I was able to find was a few similar posts to this one with no remedy. I went to my Titanium Backup and searched through my backed up apps knowing that the manager had to be in there somewhere because I'd used some of the ROM's based off of the stock i777 and found something called "At&t Hot Spots." I restored it to my current ROM and I'll test it at Mickey D's at lunch.
Don't. It's a terrible app.
Looking over your shoulder...
Well restoring the app seems to have had no effect, it still requires me to log in to the wifi. I'm not sure why everyone says it was a terrible app, before I rooted my battery life was just fine with it running, even if I neglected to turn off wifi
Any app with "AT&T" in the title is ****.

I'll agree that most of their software is absolutely worthless trash, but this one in particular I really thought was handy... All it did was automatically log into AT&T hotspots when you were in range

First off, I do agree. But what this thread is concerning is that it's not an app. Rather, it was an embedded feature in the stock ROM of this phone, checked off in the wi-fi settings.
Since it's not an app, one cannot readily download it off the market. So it must be a package. From the results of this thread though, I guess a package like this doesn't exist..?
Here's the file: AT&T Hotspots 0.955
This is extracted from a UCKH1 stock ROM. Hopefully it works for you.

That makes about as much sense as having to type in your WEP password each time you log into your home network. Net battery life would be about equal to not having the app, as it takes screen on time (BIGGER battery suck) to go though all the steps necessary to login without this app.

I had the earlier version installed through my Titanium backups. I installed the one posted on this thread and I saw that the app was upgraded. (Additionally, the at&t hotspots icon vanished from the app drawer, I could see that it was running though).
However, it doesn't seem to connect automagically to attwifi. Any clues?

I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that FoxFi doesn't seem to work on a stock DNA. I installed the latest version of FoxFi as well as the add-on, but when activated I get a message saying that I need to have a tethering plan, and to call 611 to set it up.
Also, FoxFi isn't 100% free anymore, it has a usage limit before you need to close and restart it. The full app costs $6.97.
Hopefully once we get root we can get a root-based wireless tethering app to work.

Quick USB Tether works on Jelly Bean for the usb tether part on different hardware (and it's free!).
For wifi, you'll need root and sqllite for potentially an "entitlement" hack. All speculation since I don't have this phone, but the common denominator is Jelly Bean.
BTW OP, Foxfi says that their stuff doesn't work in Jelly Bean right in the description!
Yeah, but I know people were going to ask so I wanted to let everyone know.

It just worked. I'm guessing you're on a Verizon unlimited plan and that is why it is nagging you.
yall do realize that unless you are an unlimited plan you can just use verizons hotspot app
So you have tethering included? Why not just use the stock hot spot app then? This is for people that don't have a tethering plan.

I'd gone through the same thing, so usedto my tbolt needing a outside app.
I installed foxfi (and addon) and it worked ok, but I'm on a ShareEverything plan (it works for me and saved me $40/mo)
I called vZ and confirmed I'd not need this any longer and could use the stock app to any device, but data is accumulative
I suspect there maybe some vpn and other features some 3rd party tethering apps might allow that would be useful for some.
Let's clarify:
Unlimited data: won't work, possibly with entitlement database hack and root
Shared data: It should work stock (not foxfi).
Jelly Bean is a little different than ICS. Foxfi's description even says it won't work under Jelly Bean.
The Tether Hack and Tether hack with WiFi notification should work on stock rooted and stock de-odex I545VRUAMDK based ROMS.
If your rocking a custom ROM check with your ROM dev for changes to framework-res.apk BEFORE flashing this.
The other two mods, Remove E911 Icons, and disable Ongoing WiFi Noticiation NEED a de-odex ROM.
The orginal "Tether Hack doesnt always kill the WiFi Notification so I rebuilt the mods using a different method.
EDIT: One of the mods were removed because it caused GPS Issues.

Thanks for posting this, both of the mods work great.
Just a quick question. With regards to the Tether Hack, how does this compare to apps like pdanet which bypass the subscription check but still seem to use the stock Wifi Hotspot? I don't know what exactly is happening behind the scenes with these other apps, if they do anything other than bypass the check. As an unlimited data user, is it "safer" to use pdanet or the other apps, or are you really just doing the same thing they provide without the need for another app?
Thanks again.

It hacks the tether feature samsung put in the ROM to call upon another app to verify the subscription.
So instead of
1. Tether app start
2. Call App to check subscription
3. Return results to tether app
4. Tether... Or not Tether...
It goes...
1. Start tether app
4. Tether.
Steps 2 and 3 are removed from the framework of the ROM
Yes on USB and if I wasnt so damned lazy I could even do Bluetooth... But this is good enough for 99.99% of the people. Who the hell uses Bluetooth anyways... Damn kids and there fads :angel:

These apps are using something momentary (IE: The hack has to happen every time you push the *Big Friendly Button*) to bypass the check; I'm not sure what and I haven't had the opportunity/need to go digging into the how. I use Widgetsoid and it does the same thing.
This hack is permanent; it happens when you flash and doesn't require anything afterward. It allows you to use the included app on the phone without having to download any free apps that might have limits or ads and there's no paid version (FoxFi, for example). It means there are less "moving parts" involved, and theoretically, there are fewer things that could go wrong.
As for is one "safer" than the other...I'll assume you mean any less likely to get you in trouble...and the answer is no. They're achieving the same thing through different methods; one's just a bit "cleaner" than the others.
EDIT: Didn't see Scott's post...damn pages. Still relevant, I think.

Which app are you using to tether?
Hi Scott,
Thanks for developing the Clean Rom!
I've used your clean rom on the S3 and the S4 and I must admit it's some good stuff you've developed. :laugh:
I've installed this tether hack but after reading this thread, I'm not clear on what app you are using to tether?
Is it the mobile hotspot app from the Big Red?
Or does Samsung have their own separate tethering app?
I know it's a newbie question, but any info would be appreciated.
Thanks again!
Where is the tether app icon? I can't find it anywhere...
Is this the TrevE tether?
What exactly does this do since we already have a hot spot with this phone?
Also, when flashing do the cache's need to be wiped?

Does anyone know any reliable app(s) that can force a Sprint galaxy note 3 into roaming connection?
At times, I am inside my work building where there is dead-zero coverage from Sprint, but full connection bars for my roaming connection when it switches. I have a friend who has a Verizon phone and also shows full connection bars inside the building, but I am not sure if this is the network my Sprint device is roaming on.
If there isn't an app, is there a manual way to get force roaming?

At times, I am inside my work building where there is dead-zero coverage from Sprint, but full connection bars for my roaming connection when it switches. I have a friend who has a Verizon phone and also shows full connection bars inside the building, but I am not sure if this is the network my Sprint device is roaming on.
If there isn't an app, is there a manual way to get force roaming?

Here is a possible option...
This links to an app that is paid, but appears to do the job...

I want to give this a try, but, for some reason, the Pay By Paypal link on the website denies my login credentials.
It uses a small paypal window to authenticate me but always returns "the user name or password are incorrect".
When I login to Paypal on paypal.com, it works without issue....
I emailed the support link.... now comes the waiting game D=
Thanks for pointing this app out for me

Change your paypal password asap.. that sounds a bit phishy.
You can use Samsung DM Service app that comes with stock rom to change prl to one that only roams. Make sure in your network settings>other networks voice/data roaming is enabled.
It lets you choose any file with .prl extension from root of storage then reboots to apply it. Its free to do if you dont want to buy an app.

I would have to create the prl file myself or just edit the one that my phone has?
And, how to I bring up the Samsung DM Service app?

The guy that makes roam control is a great dev. I own the app and it now works on note 3 ...I bought it back when it was on the play store around the og evo time .... Don't know why you can't log in to PayPal but it's a great app

Nothin against the app or dev. Sites get hacked and **** happens,.. if you are redirectd to enter financial login details and they fail to work its for sure a good idea to go directly to their site and change your password.

I e-mailed the developer of Roam Control and still didn't get a response back. I did change my password, too, on Paypal, so at least that's settled now. Works every time when I login to the direct Paypal.com

Okay. I will need to sit and read through these for a little to understand prl changes. Thanks
Looking for assistance rooting a Sonim XP6 (on AT&T) running 4.4.2 with a MSM8926 chipset. It's a cool rugged little candybar phone with an actual numeric keypad! Don't see many of these around...
Have tried all the typical rooting avenues around no such luck. I'm able to get into recovery and fastboot mode and that's about it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...the phone has only been out for a few weeks so if there is any information I can provide to help breaking this device i'm all for it.

I just rooted mine with towelroot. Worked great! After running towelroot, I then installed supersu, rebooted, and then installed the binaries in supersu, installed xposed framework and gravity box and now I like this phone lol
Keeps saying device is not supported. This is hard coming from a nexus 6 to this. Lol

Should also point out I have unlocked my phone for t-mobile. Don't know if that could be throwing something off.

This is the apk I used. If that doesn't work for you then I don't really know what to tell you. I tried five or six different root programs and this was the only one that worked.

Sure wish I didn't have the later kernel date. Should have held out and bought from sonim instead when they release it

I know this is an old thread but it seems to be the only thread so I'm going to update it. Kingo was able to root my XP6700 that has a kernal date of 28OCT14. YMMV.
Have you found any custom ROM?

No. I seriously doubt any developer would spend any time on this phone at all. It is nice being rooted cause it has allowed me to freeze or delete a bunch of stuff using TiB.
Kingroot is work, i did it.
Wifi Tethering working
For the 2 or 3 people using this phone I did figure out how to make the hotspot work. Once rooted download root explorer. Go to /system and enable read/write - should get a superuser request. Long press on build.prop and then open with the text editor. Scroll down to #system prop for Service Entitlement. Change att.service.entitlement=true to false. At the very end add net.tethering.noprovisioning=true. Save, verify the changes took effect, then reboot and enjoy. This worked for me, I don't know if it will work for you but give it a try.
It makes the perfect portable wifi hotspot that can be used almost anywhere in any kind of weather. The 4 Ah battery is nice too.
Wifi tethering enabled
Just wanted to say thanks.
I used your tip to get my hotspot working on XP5700 with kingroot and a Bluetooth mouse.
By the way if anyone needs it, to enable adb on XP5 :
*#*#2387#*#*
That will open developer menu. Check USB debugging enabled
You can install apks over adb just fine. This is how I got kingroot.
Thanks again for the build.prop edits.

The XP5 - you mean the neutered androidish brick of a phone from Sonim? I have one of those too and as soon as I find it I'm going to give this a try. This along with the build.prop hack takes something that is useless and makes it into something very useful. I know the XP6 will run the hotspot for several hours on a charge, I'm sure the XP5 would even be better - coupled with the $60 Cricket unlimited plan would be amazing.
That it is... I like it though

I use cricket also.
Apt description of the phone.
Kinda limited on apps due to the lack of touchscreen.
What editor did you use to edit the build.prop?
nevermind, i was able to sideload rootexplorer and edited the build.prop without issue. I appreciate your discovery of how to get into developer options.
