I updated my phone yesterday not thinking and knowing they may patch that hotspot hack. I need the hotspot back for work purposes and us you all know that you can't install anything outside network on Enterprise systems. So, the PDANET+ won't help me since it will have to be actually installed on the laptop/device you are trying to get internet access to as well. I didn't want to root my Note 8 but, what options do I have to roll back to nougat 7.1.1 or other alternatives just for my hotspot.

    Any specific instructions on flashing and are those specific tar files board anywhere? I haven't flashed anything since my Galaxy S5

    Yes go here: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-8/how-to/guide-sm-n950u-u1-t3685884

    First follow 'Flashing Unlocked Firmware: Steps in Post 4' and use (VZW) Verizon - N950U1UEU1AQH9/AQI5/BQK1/BQL2/BRA5

    Then following 'Flashing Carrier Firmware: Steps in Post 3' and flash only VZW CSC.
