[MODULE] Tethering Enabler for Magisk v10/v11

[stangri]

I have created a magisk module which enables tethering on phones where it's been disabled by the manufacturer/provider. Please post here if you have a tethering-disabled phone and can test the attached module. It should only work if the tethering has been locked down by your phone manufacturer, it will probably not help you if your provider is blocking tethering.

There are two zip files attached to this thread:
TetheringEnabler.zip -- is magisk v6 compatible.
Tethering_Enabler-10.0.0.zip -- is magisk v10 (and later) compatible.

Please post back if you have a phone with tethering disabled and it helps you, I will then push to have it listed in the official repo. I have no tethering-locked phone so I can't test it myself.
Thanks!

Hey, I'm trying this out just now and I can't seem to get it to work. I install it, reboot, but nothing there. When I try to*enable hotspot, it still is coming back as carrier blocking it.

Magisk 10.2, phh's r266-2 su,*on a*Nexus*6 running stock 7.1.2 w/ Franco kernel

Any thoughts?

Oh, sorry man, I completely forgot about it. It was written for the original magisk as a cache-mod which is no longer supported (since version 9). I'l try to post an updated version soon.

Awesome - Thanks! I'm trying a different one now, but it doesn't seem to be working.

Edit: I take that back, it seems*to be working. Thanks anyway!

Made the v10-compatible one. What did you try? If there's already module which does that, I'll just take mine down and/or link to it to benefit others.

It was this one:

but i don't think it'll hurt to leave it up if it works...yours was the first one that came up on a google search so there might still be a benefit.

That one is also based on an old template. The one by @stangri is much more elegant (IMHO).

Thanks for posting it. Yeah, both modules do the same thing, I'll push mine to repo.

But looking at that one made me realize it doesn't have to be a propmodule (as it doesn't change the system/ro prop), it can be done in post-fs-data so I now switched to that.

My phone (LG v10, T-Mobile) has tethering enabled, but all tethering must be approved by T-Mo when turning it on. I'm running modded stock firmware. Can this module help bypass my carrier's tethering check? If not, what can? I've tried using 3rd-party tethering apps, but when they turn on native tethering, it triggers the check. So far my carrier has detected all my attempts, even when running CM13. I am SIM-unlocked and my phone was bought from a T-Mo store, but currently my carrier is MetroPCS.

Thanks!

I don't think this one would work for you -- it's only to enable tethering on the phone, I don't think it could help you bypass carrier's check. Maybe others will chime in on what can help you with that.

@stangri: Thanks for the info. MetroPCS is owned by T-Mo, similar service quality, but almost 50% cheaper for essentially the same unlimited data. From what I've read, Metro's tethering policies are more strict than T-Mo's, it's basically allowed if you dont get caught. They'll tolerate a small amount, for light stuff like Web-browsing, but after that you'll get a notification. Metro cant control my tethering functionality, since it's built-in, but they can use T-Mo's servers for checking.

So this module does not add the net.tethering.noprovisioning=true line to the build.prop file? I was just searching for a module to bypass subscription check on Verizon with my Nexus 5x and came across this thread but I wanted to double check.

That's all it does. It only adds net.tethering.noprovisioning=true line to the build.prop file.

Try and let us know?

I am on Cricket using my stock Nexus 6. Never looked into tethering before as Cricket restricts it unless you are on one of their higher plans and pay $10 a month extra. Previously enabling tethering would trigger a subscription check. On a whim, I decided to try this module and sure enough I can tether without issue to my tablet and Chromebook. Anyway, just wanted to note that in this case it has actually allowed me to bypass carrier restrictions. Cheers!

Which carrier are you on? Sprint?

Great work! I have it running on Pixels and 5X, all working great. They were downloaded from the repo and all is well. Thank you for sharing this module.
