Wireless Hotspot on unrooted Sprint S4 - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

Ive tried many of the hotspot apps in the market but none seem to work as I always get an error message. does anyone have any suggestions?

Yea I've been wondering the same thing.

Why don't you root and flash the mod ?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

You need to root then do the mod to get them to work

You can always unroot after flashing the mod if it is that much of a problem to be rooted.

Why not just root the phone? No harm done in rooting, right??

I was just hoping to stay stick for a while, but I guess that's not going to happen.

you can stay stock if you want yet still root. I have yet to flash a custom rom but been rooted since day 1.

Wow, the rooting process is so much easier and faster than on the original evo. It's like I barely had to do anything. Thanks for the help everyone, it was definitely worth rooting.

[Q] root for latest android 4.3 update?

I recently received the ota 4.3 update for my at&t gs4, but I've been dying to try cyanogen mod on my phone or at least be able to remove a little bloatware. Could anyone point me to a tutorial somewhere to root this thing if it's possible yet? I do have a little experience with flashing roms and rooting with my old samsung replenish, but only with odin... thanks.
-EDIT Also is kingo really malware like many people on xda say? And does kingo work with the new MJ9 build for AT&T's S4?
If you have a little experience flashing Roms than you'll be experienced in the art of Google search. There are many threads about this already

Works the same for att even though its for verizon. Same root method but beware it could add malicious stuff to your phone and computer. Do a little researching first before you do anything. Good luck

And even when your rooted there is still no custom recovery for 4.3...so no rom flashes are possible

Thanks for the link to the tutorial. I've been looking stuff up about vroot and apparently it contains some sort of trojan... I also read a comment on YouTube where someone with the at&t MJ9 build had success with it but what are the risks other than bricking?

Yes the best route is let the update come through and install root via your computer with KINGORoot. Easiest way to go. Or you don't update and use Root DELA Vega and then install a rom later that is on the newest update. My first option is by far the simplest.
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
Following the first method the efuse counter should still be zero right?? Thanks. All I would be doing is rooting it later. Not installing custom ROMS.

You won't have any problems rooting if you take the update. Like the person above me said, use KINGO it's very simple and google is your friend. You can also make it so you won't get those popups all the time if you would rather stay on MI9. Go into about phone/software update and it should give you the option to decline the update, which should stop the constant pop ups. If you ever decide you wanted to take the update you could just go back into software update and select it.
Thanks a lot guys. I've run the update. I will look into kingo as my main concern is to root without flashing efuse counter. Thanks

You got usb debugging on ?
Is your computer recognizing your phone ? I would turn on allow unknown apps too
Make sure you have all drivers also I would restart phone while plugged in on computer and see if it installs recovery bootloader drivers also

root - mobileiron

Hey guys! So i just switched from a sprint note 3 to a verizon note 3. I NEED root but my company uses mobile iron. Is there a way to use it and keep root?
Also whats the best way to root this? All I want is root no custom recover.
haha good bc cystom recovery isn't possible atm on retail verizon note 3. seems like vroot is the only way to go right now without tripping knox but do ur research.

believe it or not I like the stock rom (this is the first phone I have ever been able to say that with)
So vroot... hmmm I shall look into it. But I still need to know about the mobile iron.
well I should have been more specific we can flash roms and some mods with safestrap (a sorta of custom bootloader workaroundl). but we do not have the ability to flash custom kernels.

Try Rootcloak to hide root from the app. Works for another MDM software similar to that.
Edit:
Use the one from xposed framework. In not sure if the one from the play store works.

You may have a battery that's outlived its usefulness. They only last a year or two.
5.0 is supposed to better battery life than 4.4.4
You can locate 4.4.4 on sammobile.com and use the latest version of Odin to flash your Note 3.

As long as I can us xposed...remove bloat and like 10 other apps I need root for...I don't care mush for roms anymore I use too when I had my Droid eris and htc thunderbolt but now I just like the stick with mods...I love this 5.0 but it's make me hate it without root...my note 2 had cap battery life before I rooted then rooted and tons of mods I had it lasting just under 2 days from about 5 hours...and I use greenify on the note 3 but without root it kinda sucks..

Anyone had a problem with not getting call? I had a problem on my s3 then switched to the note 2 and had none at all..but now again I seem to be haven this program..I was reading could be the 5.0 update? A friend of mine who has a note 3 I rooted about a year ago got ahold of me and wants to trade phones since he's still on 4.4.2 and I can them use the rooted 5.0 and he really don't use and or need root anyway he just want 5.0 so I'll probably do that soon
If you need root, it's best to wait for a newer phone that is rootable and go that route. That's what I'm gonna do. I'm not jumping on anything for a replacement until I see it has root, then I'll buy. Personally I'm waiting to check out the new Moto X that has a SD card. Not going with a new Note due to it lacking that. My two years with the N3 is up in Oct so sometime around then I'll figure it out I hope, otherwise I'm sticking with my rooted, 128gb sd carded still working fine as hell N3....
So, we would have to revert to an older version of Android before we could root? Kingo won't work with a 5.0 Verizon note 3?

Nope root got closed for 4.4.4 and 5 only hope for a note3 owner is to get one pre rooted I bought a rooted note3 hoping the bl would get unlocked eventually. Im now looking to a moto x pure or a nexus 6 screw this bull**** im done samsung.
