Hello!
This may be a dumb question. I know the NC5 Hotspot mod removes the check in with Sprint servers, is it safe to assume AOSP ROMs' Hotspot does the same?

I would ask the OP on the AOSP thread you are interested in running. He would be able to tell you how his hotspot mod is setup.

Hi. I'm a beginner of this tethering.
What I wanted to do was to install custom rom for froyo to my verizon samsung fascinate and use as personal hotspot.
I tried to understand/find how to do so but there are lots of look-a-likes in the forum.
Would anyone show me the link that I need to follow for my need?
Please..

go there to get rooted

go there for the latest custom ROM
sounds like your entire post was asking how to root...
as far as tethering goes, you do it at your own risk, but you can download Barnacle wifi tether, or whatever app of your choice. i use that one with my nook color
another dumb question..
what's the risk of rooting?
Is the rooting the only step that i need to take to use my phone as hotspot?
No need of rom?
Barnacle wifi tether looks good. Thanks..

Well you lose the service from Carrier/Maker, but you can always UnRoot.
Get Community Rom by Adrynalyne, I believe that's the only ROM w/ 3G Hotspot glitch.
I came from the thunder bolt so I'm used to downloading a Rom and having WiFi tether work flawlessly. Is there any one max Rom for Verizon that can do this for me? I tried flashing the WiFi fix and it says incompatible device. Any help would be great... I'm on nusensesix and have a unlimited data plan and apologies if this is the wrong section to post in
Yes, I'll pm you

Thank you very much I was making a mistake thinking that the tether feature wasn't hacked already in nusensesix
Hey now!
I just rooted/flashed my AT&T Galaxy S5 with AllianceRom - Build 3 to use with T-mobile.
I would like to know if I can get wifi-calling and VoLTE to work with my phone with this ROM or would I need to download the stock Tmobile ROM in order for it to work?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!
Your post would fit better in your custom ROM thread, where 99% of the readers will be using the same ROM. Here, only a minority of people will have any specific experience with that ROM.
Does your custom ROM include wifi calling? Are people reporting wifi call success or failures in the custom ROM thread?
Has your custom ROM been updated to include the recent VoLTE update e.g. the equivalent of G900TUVU1BNF6? If so, you should be fine. You have a locked bootloader, but AFAIK that shouldn't interfere with wifi calling. You just need the features configured in the ROM.
Given your locked bootloader, you should do your research before you flash firmware from another carrier. Trying to flash a TMB bootloader, kernel or possibly even stock TMB recovery may put your bootloader in a position of having to choose between incrementing Knox or bricking your phone for you. And we're assuming that you wouldn't want that.

VoLTE is modem specific. If you don't have the T-Mobile modem, you won't have VoLTE (so unless you want a brick, do NOT flash the T-Mobile radio to your ATT device. You will NEVER have VoLTE) I didn't have VoLTE until i flashed the NF6 (first update to include VoLTE) modem. Even with a T-Mobile device. Once i flashed the full tar that included the modem to NF6, i got VoLTE. So you will never have that.
As far as WiFi calling, as long as its present in the frameworks and ROM, last i understood, it should work. I know when i had my S4 people flashed a T-Mobile ROM to their ATT S4 and had WiFi calling. So long as you have a T-Mobile SIM as well. Ensure the ROM supports it as fffft stated.

I think the ROM I installed is somewhat broken. Root/SuperSU isn't working. I will try a different ROM.

It's 'broken' on the AT&T phone at least. Root is broken and can't root using towelroot either.

If root is broken on your phone, then redo your root. It certainly isn't broken for all ATT phones. Nor is the Alliance ROM likely to be broken for ATT phones i.e. 900A either. And of course you can use towel root. It's a good habit to do a forum search before posting.. then you'd be able to pose better informed questions.
To use towel root, you simply have to use a pre June 3rd stock ROM as a base. If necessary, use Odin to write a pre June 3rd 4.4.2 ATT firmware to your phone.

I used towel root in the first place to get my phone to install roms. I've no problems with root with AT&T roms.
Forgot to mention but the Alliance rom that I tried to install was made for t-mobile so I can use wifi-calling/ISIS. That might be the reason why root doesn't work?
If anyone is able to install tmobile specific rom on their AT&T s5, please help me out.
Thanks!

Im on att s5 on tmobile alliance. all u need to do is rerun towel root and download busybox again. Once i did that everything worked correctly with root apps like titanium backup. Also good to know about the modem so that means we r f'd with volte unless the very unlikely att/verizon bootloader is unlocked.

I had the ATT gs4 using it with Tmobile and had the same issue and never solved it. Im not saying it cant be done but I was told I might be better off just trading my s4 for the tmobile version .. Ended up just buying a Tmobile s5 .. Also my bootloader was locked on my ATT s4 and that was reason enough to dump ATT . No kernels = No att for me
If you find a solution for wifi calling let me know. I do have a buddy with att s5 asking me about it

I posted the solution in another thread. Basically, with a combination of the OA1 ATT firmware, safestrap and Alliance Rom, you can achieve Volte and Wifi calling with a tmobile sim card on a G900A.
edit:
- added link
- be careful not to take the OC4 update from ATT, or it will not work.

How can I make sure I'm not on the OC4 update? I am new to messing with anything AT&T...
Thank you so much! I'm going to give it a try soon.

You can go to About Device in the settings, and look at the last three characters of the Base version field. If you see NCE, ND3, NG3 or OA1 you're fine.
It seems that I can try to follow the instructions on this thread but not sure what ATT firmware I should be installing since new updates have been released since OA1. Can someone tell me if I should install entire Tmobile ROM including modem with Odin?
Guillaume2x said:
Guys, I have some great news. Both wifi calling AND VoLTE now work on my SM-G900A on the T-mobile network. Here is what I did:
I installed the latest ATT firmware (OA1), released earlier this February. OTA update did not work, so I had to flash the original firmware (ANCE) via Odin, and then flash the two subsequent updates using update.zip on the SD Card. This will remove safestrap and root, but fear not.
Once my phone had AO1 installed, I used this tutorial to root the phone again. It invonves temporarily flashing an earlier (ND3) kernel, using TowelRoot, and then reflashing the OA1 kernel
With my OA1 rooted, I installed safestrap. Make sure you install busybox first.
With safestrap, I installed the T-mobile Alliance Rom (build B4).
Seconds after booting, both Wifi Calling and Voice over LTE work!
Enjoy!
Guillaume

Hey all,
I got the ATT one M8 from the US. its has some nonworking features (like tethering\hotspot). I really need that option and I understand that flashing the Viper ROM will help.
However - my work requires my phone not to be rooted to get emails.
Is it possible to unroot viper ROM after I install it (meaning keeping the viper ROM installed but unrooting it)?
thank you in advance
Could try [email protected] xposed module not sure itll work but worth a shot

I saw on a thread a couple weeks back about a flashable zip that unlocks wifi tethering. Im sure a simple search will dig that thread back up for you. it seemed pretty simple to do.
I flashed a RUU on mine that installed factory att software (bloated of course) but wifi tethering worked on it.
I think i got it from Mr. hoffs

Tethering will work on a stock device (or device which official RUU was installed) if your AT&T account permits tethering. But its a network based verification. So if you try to use the stock AT&T ROM on another carrier (which is sounds like the OP is doing) it breaks the WiFi tethering feature (unless you mod the phone).
The OP is in kind of a Catch 22, where root is needed for tethering, but his work doesn't permit root. So it seems WNC's suggestion (if it works) is the best bet.
Couldn't he just unlock bootloader and boot TWRP without flashing custom recovery or rooting device and run flashable zip?

Most custom ROMs are pre-rooted.
Thank you all for the replies.
I have given up on trying to find a stock ROM and just flashed the Viper.
Cant get work emails now - will try the root cloak .
and thanks again for AT&T for being so square as to not let people from other countries and carriers use their own phones features!
Hi guys,
Just as the title says, I am looking for a Stock Rooted Deodexed 12B ROM (like the one Beanstown106 made for the 11C update) and New Radios with rom or as separate zip if possible. Does anyone know if there is a Dev already working on this?
Thanks any help is appreciated.

Hard to say. If you don't see one in the dev forums, then I'd say no. Most are working on LP now that KK has run it's course.

Completely understandable I just was hoping someone would release a very basic stockish rom I could use to upgrade before I went to a LP rom. And also to get the new radios.

If you look at the next post in that thread, they give you the ability to flash install that particular app back in.

And, as far as the radio's go, you can obviously just manually flash those. Radio's (modem.img) are included as individual downloadable .zips in the jasmine rom thread I know, great place to get them and a super easy way to update that before going to AOSP.
