06SilveradoZ71 · Jun 30, 2014

1. Go to Settings --> More --> Tab on Application Manager
2. Go to All tab (By scrolling Vertically)
3. Find AT&T Hot Spots and click it
4. When App info opens, click Turn off

Now AT&T Hotspot is turned off (The above steps just to ensure that AT&T hotspot is off

5. Download RootBrowser and the attached file and save to your phone. Know exactly where you saved it, so you can use it later on.

6. Browse to System/app and rename TetheringProvision.apk and TetheringProvision.odex . Rename the apk and odex to*.bak*(This way, you can rename them back in case the steps did not work for you)

7. After you finish replacing the files, go to your folder where you saved the attached file and copy it to system/app & change permissions to same as the other file you renamed

7. Reboot your phone.

8. Enjoy using foxfi app or any tether app

You cant use the phone settings hotspot but atleast you can tether free on 4.4.2 alot of people are still on unlimited plan so this helps alot

Just throwing a couple things out there.....

1. Have you tried this without changing file permissions after the copy?

2. The file is not foxfi.... Foxfi is a different app. This file is one of the stock files that has been modified. And this one does not look like it has been done completely, since it still pops up the notification that it is checking if the device is authorized to tether,

Yes it did work. Honestly I didn't test it without changing file permissions, because I already knew what they were and changed them before I rebooted.

I'm not using it. I'm using one that was modified fully and does not have the notification pop up that it's checking for authorization.

I had it on my PC... It should be in General or Q&A Help forums.

Search for tether in those. Not going to be able to find it until later tonight

Yes you will, as the process requires a ROOT Explorer/Browser

What am I missing?

Hello All,

I just tried this and I am still unable to tether with AT&T. I have a Note II currently running 4.4.2. My OTA upgrade semi-bricked my phone (probably because I had a rooted 4.3 install). So I installed 4.4.2 using Zen's ODIN package. I then rerooted using CF-Autoroot and upgrade to SU 2.02 manually. According to Root checker I am rooted, I am also running 4.4.2 w/ the latest boot loader, modem, and kernel.

I first turned off ATT Hotspot as instructed. I then used Total Commander to rename the two existing files under System/app. I moved the APK in the OP into System/app and set permissions as before. I restarted my phone and tried FoxFi. It starts up and goes for a few seconds (which it did not on 4.3) It also seems to be transferring more data. However, once I try to connect my PC to the hotspot I get the "verifying" window and then the notice to call 611 to enable mobile hotspot.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Almost There!

OK I finally got my FoxFi working on my Galaxy S3 with 4.4.2!

I've also uninstalled FoxFi after I got it working and the hotpsot still works!

To turn on WiFi hotspot I go to settings/connections/More Networks/Tethering and Wi-Fi hotpsots/Mobile Hotspot and turn it on. It does say FoxFi in use even though it is uninstalled?

Not sure what is going on?

Any ideas?

I have the Note 2 also but not on 4.4.2, however I also have the verizon s5 and it had the same tethering issue at 1st untill I foundout that the tethering mod from xposed worked without issue, all I did was install xposed and the tether mod and with PowerToggles I placed the Tether toogle and enable it from there like on this Picture. I'm not 100% sure if it would work on the note 2 4.4.2 its just an idea that I think someone should try. Don't forget to make a full backup in case it goes wrong.
