Awesome! Glad to hear that it worked for you.
Sofar I've far I have tested the modded APK on ;
AT&T Galaxy S4 on both Android 4.4.4 and 5.0
AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 3 on Android 5.0
At&T Samsung Galaxy S5 on 4.4.2

AT&T Note 3 here and i can say it works and is much better than the last workaround i tried. Basically after using the tether I had to restart the phone to reenable wifi. :laugh:

Edit: Spoke too soon. When I turn off the hotspot wifi comes back on and connects. However, the occasional web page will refuse to load. Will only load 3/4 of the way unless I leave it for like 2 minutes. Pages with embedded video don't load within that time period at all. But youtube embeds work as does the app. Restarting the phone fixes everything.

At least it is progress in my case! Using an app before would cause wifi to show as toggeled on, but refused to connect or turn off.

Galaxy Note 3 (9000A) on CricKet network running 4.4.2. Towelrooted months ago and TouchWiz recently began crashing, so I finally did a factory reset. Lost ability to hotspot tether using FoxFi/PdaNet. Did the reset change some settings? If so, how do I change them back? Perhaps someone more experienced could walk me through the apk change or point me to a "____ for Idiots" type tutorial.

Anyone try this on OC2?

If you are rooted, use Wanam Xposed & MotoTether. I use this method on Cricket. Then just use the native tether on phone.

Great thanks cgm8.
I spent almost 2 hrs based on OPs steps but it kept saying "TetheringProvision.apk failed" or something after each reboot and then I almost gave up.
Luckily I saw your post that we should delete the ARM folder so I thought of giving it a last try...just in case you know.
And BOOM... after deleting the ARM folder and rebooting again, no error and then when I went to settings to enable HotSpot, it enabled flawless...lol

OP, can you pls add this simple step i.e. delete TetheringProvision/ARM folder before rebooting so everyone gets 100% success in this...???
Anyway, thanks a lot OP for this or else nothing else matters...

Will Att still see you tethering without the correct plan?

They may, But I've been lucky doing this with both Straight Talk (AT&T MVNO) and Cricket (AT&T MVNO)

Cricket (AT&T MVNO)

Not to be picky but Cricket is not a reseller, but 100% AT&T with no middleman.

tried this on my s4 i337 att running 5.0.1 and kingroot, seemed to work and could see the access point but then it kept resetting and saying access point active over and over. had to reboot to stop it. could it be kingroot, if so, will remove with supersume pro.

an update. I used supersume pro, gave me trouble doing it so I had to remove some of the kingroot files manually. seems to be working, super su working. as for the apk provision files, no joy, seems something is different in 5.0.1 so i went with wifi tether router and that works just fine. finally, its been a long road to get here...

I have Rooted NC1 lollipop flashed via SS recovery.
Followed all steps but hotspot not working.

Also there is no ARM folder inside TetheringProvision...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE , New Method to Enable Tethering Hotspot :
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. installed "XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk" (for lollipop)
2. Flashed "xposed-sdk21-arm-20150430-arter97-V3.zip" via softstrap recovery (Note 3 at&t only)
3. Rebooted and Installed "com.dym.motoxtether_v5_aa815c.apk".
4. Open Xposed Installer -> Modules -> Check X Tether Module and Reboot Phone.
5. Done !! Tethering is Working Now.

This Process has been tested on Note 3 AT&T Running on Lollipop 5.0 Stock.

All files attached here and taken from xda.

Thank you. The tether apk worked fine from the first post. And the xposed worked from the post above. I now believe my phone is as good as it can get while locked.

Works like a charm - S5 Active G870A

I did the steps and its working, for now an hour with no issues. Even ran a few matches of Fortnite on the Xbox! There were some slightly different folders/names. But, I figured which ones to delete.

Thanks!
