[HOW TO] Native hotspot without root NC5D & maybe others

idone · Jun 27, 2014

Got 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
***edit***

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!!!

I'm thinking of using WiFi tether router. It'd three dollars but I'm not in a position to flash things or use hacks.

I couldn't get the msl to do that trick. I tried the tool too.

What rom? Can you take a screen shot of the mslutility running please. It crashes in landscape so hold phone in portrait mode while launching it.

Just in case specific step by step:

Get your MSL/SPC number using the app from this link: http://tools.flashingtools.com/SPCUtility.apk

Dial ##data#
Select Edit
Put your MSL # and click OK
Scroll to bottom and select More
Scroll to bottom and select LTE APN Settings
Got to APN2 LTE internet
Go to APN type
Add ,dun at the end
Now it should be default,mms,dun
Got to APN2 EHRPD internet
Go to APN type
Add ,dun at the end
Now it should be default,mms,dun
Go to Settings
Change Hotspot to ON
Done. It should work now.

This works on other galaxy devices. Just confirmed sprint s3 on mi3 iirc

note 2 s4 s5 probably work, maybe most or all phones with sprint hotspot check apn type to auth it.

enjoy

profit...thanks for this...

I followed your Gide to help me achieve the ultimate goal. Although the steps I actually took were different than what you provided, it was enough of a guide for me to be successful!
My MSL was all 0's, weird... I'm on stock NC5 which I've rooted using TowelRoot

Thanks so much!

Odd. You can edit the file this data resides i manually if you have root. I posted how and where the file is in the first post.

Are you sure you selected edit and not view when you went into ##data#?
