How to activate the hotspot on LG G5 VS987 Verizon, without sim Verizon

[WalterSilverio]

Hello guys, I have found a way to make the hostpot work on our LG G5 verizon, of course without needing a verizon sim, I accidentally found it and I share it with you, here the steps are very simple:

1. The first thing to do is download the app ES Explorer (from the play store or the apk I will put the link at the end of the post).
2. Open it (skip the initial configuration, it is not important) and go to the option of sender.
3. Touch the RECIVE option, then our device will force to create a hostpot.
4. Now we can close the app and enter settings and configure our hostpot freely :fingers-crossed:.


I hope this form works for you to make it work.

No, I'm in nougat too, when you give the option to receive in ES explorer, it says: current network: G5_xxxx? (The X may vary depending on the device)

no it keeps telling me my sim card isnt verizon and ended up with nothing. I do the same method using ShareIt apps as I think it do the same way in creating hotspot for file sharing but still can't, and now I think I can't do files sharing via hotspot network at all which is the best way to transfer files. and also, could not tether a hotspot to my laptop...

I'm sorry that didn't work for you , this method worked for me, and some friends i told them to try it, and then I decided to post it here, I thought it might be a great help.

But in the phones that I tested all have nougat installed, with the latest updates of April 2017.

Yeah, mine just pops up: "Tethering; Data network connection is not available. Mobile Hotspot/USB tethering service needs Verizon data network in order to work" when trying to do that. Non-root phone.

I am very happy to know this way to activate the hostpost you found it worked, I thought that no one else would work , after trying on 4 different devices and worked perfectly but apparently to those who try the method that leaves here you have not had luck. I hope it continues to be useful to other users.
