MOD: Sprint Native HotSpot
Model: SM-N910P
Type: KK
Firmware: NIE


Perfect is repeatable. Imperfect is Perfect

PLEASE NOTE: I am not responsible for anything that happens to your device. This includes acts of God, your wife/girlfriend breaking it over your head for using it too much, or jealous Iphone owners!

Thought I share this with everyone. Just FYI this replaces services.jar so if you have any mods there you have been warned.

I rooted the N4 specifically to get free hotspot. Does this do it for me? Can i just download the file, hook the N4 up as an external drive and replace file on N4 with new one? Sorry if these questions are stupid. new to this. thanks

I have not tested that method but I assume if you copy the odex version(Going to release tonight) to your external drive(SD Card) then use root explorer to overwrite two existing files ( services.jar & services.dex ), reboot your device. You could have Native hotspot. On the other hand if you use this method and something break's you need to use the below method:


The more approve method would be to install a custom recovery(TWRP), FLash Stockish ROM, then Install Native HotSpot. FYI.... you will trip Knox 0x1 using this method

Yes, i am rooted and have installed TWRP. Yes, knox is tripped :) I have done nothing else, so based on a video i saw for doing this (for N3), i need the odexed version (not the de-odexed version) correct?

Are there new ROMS for N4? i havent found any.

Your help is very appreciated. thanks

Currently only 2 ROMs exist:
- Semper FI ALPHA
- NIE Stockish (Knox Removed, Rooted)


Third one cooking in the Android Oven :D

Question for @MasterZen88
Did you do this mod for the services.jar yourself or is this someone else's work? The reason I ask is because I checked the smali code and discovered there's apx 80% of the original code stripped out. I assume this was necessary and if so then Samsung took extensive measures to put a lock down on the tethering. Can you explain any of this? Very curious. A PM is fine if you prefer. Thanks for offering this mod. Much appreciated.

@tx_dbs_tx Sorry for the late reply... Really I just changed one line of code.. Thinking alot of code got stripped out through the Deodex process.

Yes a LOT of stuff was stripped out comparing it to the stock services.jar. I was expecting one line change but was surprised to see so much stuff being removed. It still works and I haven't noticed any issues. Thanks for the reply.
