[HOW TO] Native hotspot without root NC5D & maybe others
- Thread starter idone
- Start date
Works on all official stock roms, even the latest for every device.. and they haven't changed anything at all. Which official rom are you on and how did you update to it?
I am on stock NK4, all i did was root with CF then run your program to turn on the hotspot.
I am not rooted and am able to edit my apn with the oc5 update with just my msl through the ##data# menu.
I was able to add dun and get hotspot without root.
I already had my msl number. The spcutility app doesn't seem to work anymore. Does anyone know of a way (other than calling/chatting Sprint) to get msl so I can do this for a couple friends that are skeered to root?
Thanks!

I kept telling my friend that wanted me to add his hotspot to call sprint to get his msl.
He finally did today. He told them he was planning on selling his phone and wanted to be able to unlock it in case the buyer was in another country.
They advised him that he was still under contract. He said he wouldn't be cancelling his service, just changing phones.
They gave him his msl without hesitation.
I added ,dun for him on each of his apn's and successfully activated his hotspot without root. Oh, his phone is an s5 running 5.0.
Thanks again for this great tutorial!

Your app works great! thank you!
You will need to root to get this done.
I have posted the command to send somewhere on here. You don't need sqlite editor like others say.
If none of the settings are leaving you with a working device, find "NV Rebuild" in the ServiceMode menu and use it.
A ##scrtn# may possibly get you working again also.

22Got native hotspot working on stock rom without root.
See here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2792790
Get your msl/spc
Dial ##data#
Scroll to bottom and select more
Scroll to bottom and select lte apns
Add dun to apn type for both lte and ehrpd apn's
Profit
apn type field accepts csv so put no spaces
Code:default,mms,dun
***edit***
If you have root and want to edit the file the apn resides in manually it is
/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
Open the database, select carriers, bottom 2 apns add ",dun" and you are good to go!
I have attached working telephony.db with dun already added from my note 3.
Also the apn edit is working on 6 different firmware galaxy devices tested so far. I will test some htc phones in comming days

Pictures provided in thread above if you need visuals.
tool to get your msl provided in thread above if you don't want to ask sprint for it.
Enjoy native hotspot everyone.
****edit****
Tested working on sprint s3. Works 100% so this might just be a universal solution for sprint hotspot.. at least it would seem so on galaxy devices!!!3

No but it is a good idea to be on an unlimited data plan!
here is an old screenshot, but I've used up 500gb+ some months, and almost always over 100gb.
