UPDATED 5-12-14 T-Mobile native wifi hotspot hack
- Thread starter PattyNYC
- Start date
Did anyone ever gets these files to work? I have set the tether_dun_required to 0, tried 2 different hotspot widgets, and made the new APN as suggested in this, but I still get routed to the upgrade page when I connect my tablet to the wifi. Does anyone have suggestions? I don't have a tethering plan, if that makes a difference. Justinswidebody, if you need someone to odex and reodex those files, I'd be happy to finish that.
I'm pretty sure the problem is you're still using the default T-Mobile tethering APN. Replace /system/etc/ apn-config.XML with this one and see if it works

OK just replaced apn-config.XML with the one you edited. I am testing now. Thanks
Update - Unfortunately I still have to mask the user string and edit the value for "tether dun required"

Thanks for assuming I didn't read the thread 'properly'. That's real classy. I actually read through it twice, thinking I had missed something the first time. I'm not a noob that skips over stuff.
Your last post in March:
You said you would try again. In earlier posts you made it clear this isn't something you're familiar with. With the files still not giving the desired effect, then dead silence for nearly a month after that, it looked like you had given up. While it's possible this method just won't work, I was hoping you had missed some small thing and that perhaps I could try and perhaps I might succeed where you didn't. So I read it pretty well and made inferences from multiple posts. I'll make sure I'm super specific about my intentions in the future so I don't get accused of things.
Relax you quoted me while i was in the process of trying to figure this out. It looked like you didnt read any further. If you didnt quote me I wouldnt have said anything. I was and am willing to try and make this work. Whatever i can do.
Well darn. Sorry that didn't work, maybe Justin will try another method or when I get my flex back from lg I'll look into it.

Links to both the odexed and deodexed files are on the third page of this thread please take a look and see what you can do. That is page number 3 of 5 of total pages.
4.4.2 Tether Working - Not counting data toward tethering plan
Guys I just updated to 4.4.2 rooted using the D-Fuse method and have no problem with tethering or it counting tethered data as tethered data. NOTE: I have the unlimited mobile plan with 3 GB tethered data.
I updated android to 4.4.2 according to D-Fuse’s post, created a new APN with “dun” added to the APN type, lastly updated the settings.db file to have tether_dun_required set to 0.
I purchased the Fabio WIFI Tether Router app for another one of my phones so I tried this app with the above settings and it ran perfect! The tmobile app shows 0 MB of data used from my 3GB tethered allotment, while my regular data amount went up. Only thing I noticed is when I reboot the tether_dun_required is set back to 1 and I have to reset that to 0, but its not a big deal. I'll work on this soon but so far it was vary easy to use tethering with 4.4.2 compared to 4.2.2.

i dont understand what you mean? just run that script at boot and it will automatically make that value "0" and then you are done. you should still try to hide the user agent though. just like bobarino said its the same process for kk

Yes you're right but I was having issues trying this method with JB. The fabio tether would not run correctly, and would not start up a Wi-Fi signal. The programmer of the app even talks about issues with the flex in his description of the app and is working on it fixing it. However using the guide in post 1 and KK the fabio app works perfect and can tether great!

PattyNYC,
Thanks for your post! I didn't notice the script to fix the tetherdun resetting issue. I just followed the guide and and tether dun is staying at 0 on reboot now! Thank you! I'm not as concerned with the user agent as I'm using a VPN on my computer and sending encrypted information.

Ive found on my nexus 5 that it throttles windows traffic but not traffic from a linux laptop. It used to work fine on windows if I changed the useragent to something non windows. Not necessarily a mobile browser. I use firefox and change the useragent to the linux version. It stopped working a while ago. I now just use a VPN. It works fine when I vpn off the windows laptop. I think they are inspecting the packets for something specifically windows and they dont recognize the VPN stream. I did have it setup with cyanogen mod,but needed to go back stock.
WIth cyanogen mod,you can do a bit of google searching and find out how to set it up to tunnel over the VPN connected from the phone. In other words,phone connects to VPN and ALL traffic tunnels over that. it does not seem to work the stock kitkat from google. Im getting ready to build my own version. Im just going to rip any carrier stuff out completely. I dont need it. I want ALL traffic to go over unlimited internet,since I have no wifi,and I want that to allways run over the vpn.
Long awaited.
Are you ready? It might seem complicated but in reality, the simulated reality, its actually quite simple.
Step 1)
Root your phone. Towelroot is awesome. Google.
Step 2)
Install this wifi tether. All thanks to Fabio who is fab yo.

Step 3)
Use mouse 3 to scroll down to flex. OR for advanced users ctrl-f type in flex hit enter
Follow the directions:

Step 4)
Have a pralines and cream scoop of ice cream. (crucial)
(Im on Sprint!!!!! So give it a go. No promises)

No
This is not a fix, only a band aid. It will not make your tether go back to the way it was. Not for tmobile anyway.Long awaited.

3After reading through the G2 forums I found this and it also worked for the T-mobile G Flex.http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51213845&postcount=43 I couldn't get the other method posted here to work at all. All credit goes to xda member mrgodai. Follow the instructions in the link provided and a script will automatically change the value to 0 on boot. You will still need to change the user agent to something mobile or in my case Safari browser. This only allows you to go over your tethering limit. If you don't have unlimted data then this will only work until you reach your data cap.https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/user-agent-switcher-for-c/djflhoibgkdhkhhcedjiklpkjnoahfmg?hl=en-USAlso make sure to edit your APN scroll down to the bottom where it says APN protocol: and make sure it is IPv4 not IPv6 and add "dun" to the line for APN type: default,supl,mms,dun
Outdated method below
Prerequisites
1. Rooted T-mobile G Flex
2. SQlite Editor app($2.99) probably a free alternative out there
3. Hotspot Widget from Google Play
Instructions
1. Open SQlite Editor look in - /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db then click global scroll down to field "tether_dun_required" edit the original value set 1 and change it to 0.
Note: Every time the phone reboots the original value defaults back to 1 so you will need to change the value back to 0 every time the phone reboots.
2. Only enable tether through the widget that you downloaded earlier. For some reason if you use the official t-mobile widget it won't work.
3. I don't have a working G Flex to test but you may have to use UA spoofer for chrome and set the browser to safari or something mobile.2There is a very simple program that does it for you and won't screw anything up let me find it

If you want, you can even practice. I should have the test deodexed services done in about 10 min

Here you go. It's already renamed for that odexer tool so just put it in the the finish folder

Were you able to odex it back?
Sent from my LG-LS995 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app2
Thank you. Do you know how to deodex and odex? If so I will make this for you tonight to test if you want. I won't be able to odex back because it has to use your phone to do this. I don't have a T-Mobile flex so it will cause boot loop
