After spending a lot of hours trying to get this to work, the method is very simple.....
Make sure to Thank @c45h2012 HERE

Apparently go here for this info. It's already been posted. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=55707846
All credit goes there.


Disclaimer: You are doing this on your own. You MAY incur extra charges if Sprint see's unusual activity on your Plan.

Important:
1. This will only work on LTE/eHrpd. It does not work on CDMA. So in Settings if you have it on CDMA it will not work.
2. You will need to reapply this after a profile/prl update.
3. It will still work after a reboot


Let's get started:
1. Download "Shortcut Master Lite" from the Playstore
2. Open it and select "Search"
3. Type in "APN"
4. Select the 4th setting

5. Select "Internet"

6. Scroll to "APN type" and type in "dun".

7. Select "Save"
8. Profit!!!!

There is nothing else we need to do. No extra files , nothing
This works with Barren, Stock ZV4 and Xposed. I'm not sure about the other ROM's.
Again, Make sure to Thank @c45h2012 HERE

I have modified APN's, tried the services.odex, and nothing worked. This works everytime!!

Thanks. This is the method I've used suggested from a previous post and works flawlessly
And with all the questions, comments about it nobody put it out there? lol
I'm not taking credit for it. But I did put it out there for everyone to see/do. Wished you'd done it sooner. ;)

Make sure you're not set to CDMA. Or if your service is only CDMA then this probably won't work.
I am curious as to why such a simple edit makes the hotspot work. What is significant "dun'?
I wished I knew.

I dont see a lte/Ehrpd option I only see ..LTE/cmda..?
You won't see an ehrpd option. You'll see that under About>Status, I think.
If you select CDMA in network settings, that's all you'll get. If you select LTE/CDMA it'll select whatever is available in your market/area. CDMA/EHRPD/LTE.

Can anyone help?

this has been up for a while in g3 genral. way to repost my guide and @papote777 method without credit
Well let's see.... I'll take the higher road.
1. First off, I suggest you talk to me in a little better manner. So don't expect an apology.
2. I never saw that thread before. Not everybody visits all the forums.
I have ALWAYS given credit when I get info from somewhere.
3. As you might be able to see, I MADE THIS FROM SCRATCH. And I made it for Sprint. If I had known it worked, or was posted in other forums, do you really think I'd take the time to write this out myself?

After rewriting this 4 times now.... I'm tapping out.

Edit. Op updated
