Sprint, Tmobile, Verizon (unlocked phone) Wi-Fi hotspot working method. Latest Pie

[eloko]

UPDATE: November 26.
It also works with Tmobile and Verizon (unlocked phone)
Running on latest Pie 9.0 and November update, and magisk beta 17. 3


Original.
you need to root the phone. Or else it does not work.
it works on November update 0.25 and 8.0

1. ) buildprop editor add this line
> net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
2.) Open adb shell
3.) Type following command
>settings put global tether_dun_required 0
>reboot

AND THATS IT.

@filthysanches did a detailed step by step for newbies down below.

Thanks.

For the simple minded such as myself. Unlocking and unblocking wi-fi tethering / Hotspot, tested on Oreo

1. buildprop editor add this line

   net.tethering.noprovisioning=true

   Also BuildProp editor makes this process fairly easy with the permissions
2. Open adb shell and type

   adb devices

   wait for the daemon to successfully start. make sure your device is recognized.
3. Type

   adb shell

4. Type

   settings put global tether_dun_required 0

5. Type

   reboot

Ya'll made this super simple after allot of searching and kind direction

I can confirm this method works. Well, instead of editing build.prop directly, I used the Magisk module Tethering Enabler which does the same build.prop modification but will allow it to pass safety net checks, then used the adb command above. Thanks for posting the commands!

Do you have a tutorial link for this, I've followed at least 3 of them I've found online and I can't get Magisk modules to install. Says that /system can't be mounted.

does this work the same way using android sdk?
Step 1: open command window
Step 2: type "cd (folder location of the platform-tools sdk)"
step 3: type "settings put global tether_dun_required 0"
step 4 :type "reboot"

I'm going to try this when I get home, just wanted to confirm if this method makes sense.

Step 2.5 type adb devices. If you see your device then step 2.6. type adb shell

 

[Youngbloodx]

Boom! Works now. Thanks ya'll.

I did everything with adb... I think modules with magisk are tricky sometimes

Am I getting the error on startup about something being wrong with my system because I didn't run the settings put global tether_dun_required 0 command? (I only installed the Magisk Module)

If Magisk is showing installed you are you able to download root explorer from play store. If so then open the system folder in root explorer and then drill down to build.prop. Click on it and choose to open with text editor. Scroll way down to the bottom and on the first empty line put

net.tethering.noprovisioning=true

Save and exit.
Reboot.

Should have native tethering now. ADB shell is not needed. I do this on Verizon. LMK if there are extra steps required for other carriers.

Thanks!!

Magisk works, tethering works with the module. Only issue I have is when I startup I get a popup that says "There's an internal problem with your device. Contact your manufacturer for details." but nothing seems to be really wrong with the phone... It still works, makes calls and can tether... so it's just an annoyance. I've seen some mentions of that system error from other phones, and it was because the vendor buildprops doesn't match the system buildprops. I'm wondering if the extra command that was mentioned would fix this. Has anyone else seen this error?

Had that too on wife's phone that was rma'd due to constant boot loops. Only thing I have done differently is to delete the net.tethering.noprovisioning=true as well as going into magisk and uninstalling back to normal boot img, prior to taking the Nov OTA. Once that was done I went into twrp and reflashed the magisk zip then redid the build.prop.

My noob understanding of that popup is that something in system has been modified (build.prop?) Causing the notification.

I rma'd before I was able to read about it so couldn't test to see if I could complete uninstall then back to factory then update everything and finally magisk, edit build.prop.

I know this is mentioned for Sprint but on stock 025, Nov sec, rooted with Magisk, the above did not work on MetroPCS

 

[filthysanches]

access unravel

As a side note, installing a root access "app hider" will reverse the second part of this process breaking connectivity. Not a huge deal but worth noting, as I'm not sure what root access apps will also reverse this.

 

[rockingondrums]

Has anyone confirmed this works with T-Mobile by checking their tether allowance after testing tethering?

Worked perfect. Thank you.

I am looking for non root solution but so far I can't find it
Got it work

[dexterboy1106]

Thank you for breaking this down and explaining it. I performed the first part with the buildprop editor using ES File Explorer with root permissions. It still didn't work so I had to wait till I was done with work to perform the second process with ADB and all is working now so happy. I just got my pixel 2XL and wasn't sure if this would work or not.

Thank you so much too whoever solved this.

did anyone ever confirm this?

 

[Youngbloodx]

Can anyone confirm if this works on pie? Carrier has my tethering disabled.
