[XxTeXx07xX]

Are you a BOOST MOBILE customer??
You now have the new Tri-Band model: Samsung Galaxy S3 (SPH-l710T)
[Update: OH1 and still works flawlessly
I RECENTLY SWITCH TO THE 60$ A MONTH PLAN COMPLETELY UNLIMITED WITH NI THROTTLING SPEEDS WHICH IN RETURN CAN HOTSPOT MULTIPLE DEVICES AND ITS WONDERFUL!!!!]

YOU CAN CALL YOUR CARRIER AND GET THE MSL NUMBER!! THAT EASY!

Are you are prompted when trying to use your HOTSPOT that you need to subscribe???
Well I got great news for you! No need to worry... Follow this guide and get your HOTSPOT
working again for ABSOLUTLY FREE !!!!!

Me nor XDA is NOT responsible for what you decide to do to your phone.
I can guarantee this will work on stock rom 4.4.2 SPH-L710T GS3.
If your willing to try this on any other phones please comment and let others know. Make/model of the phone for starters.
If you will explain your steps taken also would help others out very much! THANK !!!

I received the SPH-L710T after making an insurance claim. I originally had the SPH-L710. Anyway, all I have done so far was use ODIN to install the latest .TAR FILE from
Philz Recovery thread:---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201860 (only custom recovery I recommend to use period) BIG THANK YOU TO PHIL! You can check Philz Recovery out for yourself and how to root this device. I'm not going through the whole thing on how to root and so on. So, I am pretty much running the STOCK ROM that came on the phone straight out the box, [BOOST MOBILE]-[NF4]-[4.4.2]. I did ROOT w/ Philz Recovery very simple. Please make sure you take your time and read directions.

This is CONFIRMED to work on SPH-l710T running the STOCK ROM out of the box but ROOTED and I have Philz Recovery once again. I used SPCUtility.apk to finally get my MSL/SPC that I been reading about the past 4 days and couldn't get it till NOW!!! I attached the SPCUtility.apk for you to download. It did work for me. Took me days of searching till I came across a old post I tried so many different ways its ridiculous.

I ran the SPCUtility.apk and it gave me my MSL(SPC) number with out problem! (FOR WHATEVER REASON WHEN YOU LOOK IN YOUR APP DRAW THE APPS NAME IS MSL UTILITY and the icon is a picture of a lock. Open the MSL UTILITY and hit the Read SPC button. You might want write it down. You want to change your APN TYPE now.... Follow these directions to the T. This was is very easy! By adding the following ",Dun" fixed my hotspot(of course without the quotations) It was very simple. I had to find the APN TYPE option but once I found it, it was a text box and all I had to add was ,Dun and hit ok. REBOOTED and it work that easy! . AGAIN follow this EXACTLY and you should have no problems finding the APN type option.


GUIDE FOR GETTING YOUR HOTSPOT TO WORK:
STEP 1: Download the attached file named SPCUtility.apk to phone or EXTsd card. Now install it. Go to your apps and run the MSL Utility app that you downloaded. Click the Read SPC button and write it down. (icon for the app is a lock)
STEP 2: Okay so Go to dial pad and type ##3282# (##DATA#) and hit EDIT then enter the MSL/SPC number you wrote down from STEP 1.
STEP 3: Next go to MORE and select it...
STEP 4: Scroll down to LTEAPN SETTINGS and select it.
STEP 5: Select APN2 LTE internet. Scroll about half way down and select APN type and add ,Dun and select OK.

REBOOT AND PROFIT !!!
ENJOY

Please hit THANK YOU button if I was of any HELP TO YOU!
It would be very appreciated! This took a lot of time and research to get this working. I couldn't find anything on a working HOTSPOT. Only info I could find was paying for an app from the play store. Well in this case its completely FREE !
Please leave some comments or a simple reply!

So anybody else try this out??? I would love to get some feedback for others. Im seeing alot of views but no replys..... Wow this was huge for me. I was so excited to have my HOTSPOT back and working finally. Since i got this tri-band phone i thought i was gonna have to run sprints software to get my HOTSPOT working but that was not true. Some replys would be nice. I love and enjoy XDA very much. Such a great community!

Your phone is rooted correct?

Also if your phones prepaid be careful cause i get messages tht i have reach my data limits. I dont know if it would burn up your money fast using the hotspot or not cause im with boost and I get a message that my data limit has been reached and i notice my speed is a lil bit slower after that. Would hate for you to use it and run threw all your money and it be cut off with lack of funds. I pay month to month plan with boost mobile

@covergeek you can try using odin and flash the NF4 stock .tar file. Then flash the philz recovery .tar and root it again. Its very simple. Look around the threads for the stock NF4 .tar and go from there..... just a thought. It will deff give you the hotspot option in settings under your connections tab. I attached the screenshot. Follow the directions in the thread on the NF4 .tar to make sure you do it right. Might wanna ask questions first to make sure. Im positive someone will assist you with any questions you might have before committing to the NF4 build. Then try my guide

 

[covergeek]

Cool..thanks for the info..

No problem bro. Anything i can do to help. Once you get either NF4 build or ND8. USE my hotspot thread and its sure to work! Rooting once you odin philz recovery is super easy. I even added the superuser update file in case its needed. Just flash the updated supersu thru recovery and you should be good to go. It will do its thing and reboot. Make sure to download busybox and supersu by chainfire. Thats what work for me. I had a problem at first but flashed the UPDATED SUPERSU file and that did the trick. Also download root checker. That will confirm you have root.

Thank you Tex, I must have missed the link in the L710T rooting thread; NF4 hotspot is unlocked Getting the MSL was a major PITA but MSL Utility worked like a charm. Big thanks again my friend!

I'll try this out as soon as I can. Working on getting rooted,which I find out now. Also will this work on Sprint gs3?

Im sure it will. Follow the guide. You wanna find that option APN TYPE. Not 100 percent on if your menu is exactly like mine but im 99 percent sure it will be. Once you go for it let me know either post it here or pm me. If you need any help during the process please ask for help. Its very handy if you have a pc to communicate during the process. It will make it easier for me to help if you run into any confusion.... Also please reply and give feedback for others that might come across the same thing as you do. Im pretty sure it will be the same as my guide explains...
Also its very easy to root these phones. I recommend using ODIN and flash Philz Recovery .tar file in the PDA slot. Uncheck auto reboot and other option. Once you get the green pass sign. Disconnect phone, pull battery and enter recovery mode. There a option to root phone in the menu. Very easy. There is alot of helpful guides here to look at. Good luck to ya. Pay attention to them. You need to flash the 4.4. Know as the kitkat bootloader if you upgrading. Depending on what you are already running on your phone.

Hey need some help with the philz recovery. I have it on my phone n all. Thing is still no root. I saw the re root superuser n pick it reboot still nothing

After you (re)root with Philz, install/update SuperSU via play store.

Have you went to the playstore and downloaded busybox by stericson and SuperSU by chainfire???? Thats a must. After you download them try recovery mode and re root. Check the option the verify root on exit. If that still does not work try installing the SuperSU-UPDATE that I attched to this post and install it thru recovery.

 

[zoedreads]

Well crazy thing I had it. After reboot it everytime I lost root n superuser. I downloaded superuser n after reboot it gone n my root gone.

Agree.... thats a must
