That maybe a bug I have it to and I can't get anything but here is a app that will give you free and unlimited tethering: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.snclab.wifitetherrouter&hl=en

Trust me when I say the price is worth it just do the settings he recommends:
For LG G3 using this config
Interface wlan0
Method 2
Channel 1
Encryption wpa2-psk
"No Firmware Reload" <- UNCHECKED
if not work
Interface wlan0
Method 3 - HostApd
Encryption wpa2-psk
Channel 1
Drivers nl80211
"HostApd Patch" <- UNCHECHED

Thanks goes to creator

Is this working for you? I was using wifi tether on 4.4 with no problems. On 5.0.1 i cant get to work. I have triedboth sets of recommended settings.

Same problem here, suing wifi tether router. My devices can't even see my phone. Perhaps the app might need an update. Has anyone found a solution since the lollipop update?

apn method

Still no tether for me. I understand the apn method works for native hotspot although i cant confirm or get it working myself. This is a lollipop deal breaker for me as this is my only internet access. I have been rumming barepop but think im going to flash clean stock and try apn method 1 more time. If no luck i going back to zv6.

The hotspot hack works. Make sure you're saving the apn when you do it. And do it to both.

I can't get WiFi tether router to work either.

If you do the apn thing go to my unlock post and look in the apn setting I have a hack that may work.

Also sorry about the app not working :( I tried

Does the apn hack work on 3g? This is the only reason i can come up with for why i cant get it to work. Im on lte/cdma. Follow instructions exactly. When i turn on hotspot, 3g turns off then hotspot turns off. Then error pops up saying something network error then popul about info for hotspot subscription. Ive gone to youtube to watch method. Its easy idk what im missing.

I don't think that's an issue. But maybe.
I'm on the fringe of LTE so my signal bounces back and forth between LTE and 3G.
Theres a link in the top of the OP of the Hotspot hack I made. It's in the International thread on the same thing apparently. You might get some more help from there.

I tried this on the wifes phone to see if it was my phone. I cant get it to work on hers either. Is it possible for someone to get the hack working on stock zv8 and save it and post it for download? I know im asking for a lot but idk what else to do

You did everything as described in this video? Enable Sprint hotspot on Lg G3 ls990: http://youtu.be/oBxYKuxntSg
Cause it works just perfectly.

Have a great day!

I don't either. I've done everything in the video exactly. Someone a few posts up said "make sure you do it to both". What does both mean? They only add ",dun" to one thing in the video.

If you don't have the options in MORE go to your Mobil data area make sure you switch to global and see if they show up then. There was a discussion about why some people care missing those options in the settings on another thread just can't remember now where, it might have been in the ZV8 stock rom thread.

When they mean both they're talking about; in shortcut master add ,dun to both internet and cinet.spcs under APN type

Have a great day!
I reinstalled the ROM and wiped everything just like that post said, and still didn't see any tether options. It wasn't until I did the ##RTN# on my dailer using my MSL number that it finally worked. So thank you for pointing me to that post.

Any progress on getting this to work? I have the sprint G3 rooted with the original rom but still having the data teathering error. I tried doing the shortcuts trick but it didnt work with the lite version.
