I've tried everything and nothing, apparently that is blocked, it will be because I used to gsm unlock method.

try reflashing stock rom unrooted and it should come back. it may have to do with the gsm unlock you did but reverting to stock and then rerooting should fix it for ya.

@Andr3s - you did allow the sprint updates to run after you rooted (or installed the current ROM), right?
If the sprint updates don't run, the hotspot won't show up.

Hi, I had the finished version in AMF9, I did downgrade the modem to MDC to unlock and work in GSM mode, then went back to update the modem to AMF9, I root the phone and the next day the phone using the option disappeared and I have the latest version of Sprint.

You wrote AMF9 twice, so I assume that is not a typo. The latest Sprint update is MF9 - you are on MF9, right?
Did you install the hotspot mod? If so, when? were you on MDC modem? or MF9 modem? (which mod did you flash?)

Hello This was what I did
1 - updating my phone to version MF9.
2 - Flash MDC Modem version
3 - Run the unlock to work on GSM
4 - I returned back to making flash MF9
5 - I did the root of MF9
6 - Install all my apps and when I looked at the option of the option links Hotspot disappeared, and when I install any of these tethering app says "Hotspot not Supported". but the strange thing is that before if it worked.
Also install the Hotspot Modem, both odexed and deodexed dome and nothing.

You indicated that it worked before - do you mean - before step 1 in your list?
Here's my understanding of how this should happen. When you wiped your phone, and installed the new ROM/modem/etc, the phone should do a handsfree activation with Sprint when you first boot up. If this activation is skipped, the hotspot (and the sprint bloatware) doesn't get installed.
Sorry if I'm being confusing - hope this helps.

Turning Hotspot On An Unlocked Rooted S7

I spent a couple of days trying to find a solution for this, but I cannot. So I hope somebody can help.
My phone is rooted an unlocked. It was once a Sprint phone. I have my own MSL code.
Many forums advice that you enter ##DATA# and tweak
APN2LTE internet and APN2 EHRPD and write default,mms,dun.
The problem is that my DATA screen doesn't show APN2LTE internet and APN2 EHRPD
All I see is APN.
When I change the APN TYPE to default,mms,dun nothing happens on reboot.
Another popular advice is that you should edit the build.prop and add
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
But that fails too.
It's embarrassing that I have a rooted and unlocked phone, but I can not use my phone as a hotspot. I have tried a few apps as well. They fail.
The hotspot option never appears on my Settings.
Does anybody have a solution?

When you say unlocked are you saying that it has the U firmware installed? I believe the U firmware allows hotspot natively.

U firmware
Thank you for replying come up but I do not know what U firmware is. I assume it's a generic firmware for the S7.
My phone was a Sprint phone. It has the model number SM-G935P.
I had a professional root and unlock it. It had the hotspot feature available and I used it. However, about a month later, the phone got into a boot loop, so I had to wipe the phone and restore it. In the process of doing that, the phone lost rooting (but it remained unlocked). I restored the root myself, but was unable to restore the hotspot feature.
I would rather not install another firmware. I am in Africa, and downloading two gigabytes is a real pain. Moreover, I'm worried that it won't work on my S7. Since my phone is rooted and unlocked, it seems that it should not be that hard to make the hotspot feature available, especially since it was available earlier with the same firmware that I used to have. Ideas?

Well if you don't want to go with downloading the firmware then the easiest would be using the app FoxFi. But I believe that if you download and flash the U firmware that it will stay, even after a factory reset. But it's up to you.

Foxfi
Thank you for your advice. I tried the foxfi app and it did not work. Although I could see the network that it creates and apparently connect to it, it would not issue an IP address. So ultimately my other devices could not connect at all.
I really don't want to install a new firmware. I'm worried that it will brick the phone. Are you sure that is compatible with my model of the S7? Where would I obtain the U firmware?
I'm just surprised and a bit stunned that there's not a relatively easy way to reveal the hotspot feature when the phone is rooted and unlocked. I would think that with all the bright developers on this forum, there would be a straightforward solution.
I appreciate your help.

As long as you have the US's Sprint Galaxy with the snapdragon processor then you can flash the U firmware with no problem. Look in the Sprint section for directions, you'll even get updates directly from Samsung and not Sprint anymore. And I know there is a way for Verizon when rooted to get hotspot to work but not sure if it would be the same for Sprint. If that's what you're going for then check the Sprint forums for that as well.

According to this....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s7/help/bloat-free-firmware-930u-tried-t3428974
It only qorks with 930 models. Mine is SM-G935P.
That same thread says " You cannot root this firmware with the Sprint model. "
So I'm still stuck.
I just don't understand why there isn't a simple way to turn on this feature when the phone is rooted.

Are you sure it's rooted? You said you did a factory reset, so unless you rooted it again then you have lost root. And you were looking at the wrong forum, you need to look on the Sprint S7 Edge forum (S7 is the G930 and S7 Edge is the G935) for what you need to do.

you are right. When I reset it, I lost the root. It remained unlocked, for some reason.
However, I was able to root it again by myself. The only thing that I lost was the hotspot.
I'll try another forum here. Thanks!

How to unlock wifi tether? AT&T S7 G930A

Howdy,
I am having trouble unlocking wifi tether on my new AT&T S7 running ....pk1. I am rooted using:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s7/how-to/root-s7-att-g930a-g935a-t3410538
thanks princecomsy and chainfire!
I have tried the following unsuccessfully:
1. adding net.tethering.noprovisioning=true to the build.prop
-and a few others I can't recall off hand.
2. adb shell tether_dun_required to 0
Is there another way?
Is there a ROM that I can flash with FlashFire that already has this functionality? Any help yall could give would be greatly appreciated.

Install stang5.0litre rom from the Verizon thread. Teather is unlocked by default on his rom. It works great on AT&T, just have to have WiFi on initial setup since the APN is a Verizon APN. After that put in the AT&T APN, download titanium backup and freeze "setup wizard" so you don't get the "the sim is not a Verizon sim" notification. PM me if you decide to flash that rom and I'll tell you a few more things that need to be done to get rid of some annoying things that happen you you flash the rom or read his ENTIRE first post in that thread.

Not sure what you may have done wrong, but as I posted before, all you need to do is install xposed framework, and then the module xtouchwiz can remove the tethering provision check.

If you have it set to "secure boot" then you won't be able to use xposed. Disable that and try again.

No problem. Just make sure you read the entire first post. There are some really important parts that can save you a lot of head ache. Also, the settings menue will be all white when you first boot up, open super snake (snake icon app that comes with the rom), grant permission to Super SU, click button in top right corner and click "restart system UI).

Everything worked like a charm. The only issue I ran into so far was the settings menu being white which I fixed using super snake like you stated. My APN settings didn't get changed to verizon's. I think it was because I restored my systems settings from and old backup. Thank's a lot for all your info. You've just opened up so many roms for me to try thank you.

Thanks everyone, the new rom is working well now. I had trouble with the APN and for a while had no internet and no picture texts. I entered the APN setting dirtydoge recommended and changed changed the network mode from "Global" to GSM LTE UMTS. Not sure if one or both were needed to fix the problem but its working now!
Thank you all very much for your help. Also i tried installing xposed and xtouchwiz and wasnt able to get the wifi tether working...not sure if i unchecked boot or not. But my phone had quite a bit of lag when xposed was installed, so i like the current setup better. I really appreciate your input and help.

Yea, closed will make your phone lag depending on which modules you use. But the WiFi tethering should work by default just by flashing the rom.

I must have put a decimal point in the wrong place or something. Shoot! I always do that. I always mess up some mundane detail.

Lol. I've done it before. Bit also Ayer putting your APN in, I've heard of it taking a few hours for the pic messages to start working again.

As an aside... if you don't want to root or modify APN...
I downloaded Package Disabler Pro (was $1.50 on Play Store) and was able to disable 'TetheringAutomation' and 'TetheringProvison' and now I can enable tethering with my grandfathered Unlimited plan. I am *NOT* rooted and am on PK1. It doesn't "check for activation" or whatever it was before, it simply enables tethering like the XPosed module does for root.
EDIT: It worked once, and now doesn't. Nevermind

It doesn't work like that on Nougat haven't tested on MM PK1 yet. If I disable those two on N it disables tethering completely.

I flashed the G930U firmware last month and the tether works "right out of the box" so to speak. No root needed or even changing APN settings, other than adjusting for Straight Talk. Even got an OTA a couple of weeks ago. Tether was my biggest reason to root so now I'm good.

Mobile Data not working after nougat update

Hi i am having a weird issue with my sprint S7. My mobile data is not working after the nougat update. the weird thing is the LTE icon is showing on top. And if i make a Wi-Fi hotspot the device connected to my hotspot does get internet access... if anyone can help or guide me, i will be grateful. thanks
P.S. i have checked APN settings, restarted and gone to air mode and back.

This reply isn't a help but ive had quite same issue but it's my wifi! It keeps disconnecting and reconnecting after the update. UGHHH and i hate the new font.

Had the same issue, update profile, update prl, perform hands free activation and restart the phone. Worked immediately after reboot.

can you link the theards with tutorial how to do this?

Same thing happened for me. I just rebooted my device and it fixed itself.

Data was working for me, but i couldn't send or receive mms. Mine was just a issue of making the domestic data available on the settings.

Don't know where tutorial is, just go to settings system updates and you'll see the profile and prl update options. Then go back to main settings and click active this device. Then reboot.

I tried everyones advise and my phone still isn't connecting to data.

For those having trouble make sure you are rebooting to recovery before flashing csc and wipe cache. If still having trouble flash the U1 AP file and the the Verizon Home CSC file in the zip at the same time in odin.

I can confirm wifi calling works and volte with these thank you! now enjoying unlocked firmware

Great work, thanks so much for this!
Two questions: First, I tried to install the Wi-Fi Calling apk file, and it said that it couldn't install as there was another package with the same name. Any idea how to fix that?
Second, I notice that some of the Unlocked features, like Samsung Cloud and Device Maintenance, are gone. Does this remove all Verizon uncrippling from the unlocked version? IE - does installing this also get rid of the Caller ID?
Thanks again!

It appears that flashing HOME CSC removes those features. I wonder if it's possible without flashing HOME CSC.

If I reset the phone through recovery, do I need to reflash your CSC file? I ask only because everything DID work last night with wifi calling, but now for some reason after reboot it didn't stick. BUT, in rom control, self provisioning shows enabled for everything and all apps have permissions. Thinking the CSC file may have needed to be flashed again, but thought I'd ask. (Sorry for stupid q) - I did flash your CSC once, already....

EDIT: I was able to get the WIFI calling to work again without resetting phone. However, is there a way to have it automatically use WIFI calling and I can just disconnect from WIFI to use cell? As it stands right now I have to launch rom-control and turn off cell power. Should I just reset phone and start over, or is that how I have to control it? Also, can I add the WIFI calling quick launch button using the tweaks listed here on XDA, assuming you or someone knows the variable name to add that to the quick launch menu...
IF I have to deactivate cell power I'm not against it, honest. This is yet ANOTHER FANTASTIC FIX / tweak by you! VERY GRATEFUL!

Lastly... I have a few S88+'s (and one S8 if I remember correctly) that I MIGHT be willing to donate... IF it helps you root, mod, hack, etc... the device for us! LMK if interested!

I don't know of any other way to force WiFi calling other than turning off cell radio. On Verizon base rom you can put phone in airplane mode and connect back to WiFi but that don't work on unlocked firmware. The whole root thing depends on an unsecured eng boot image. Which the ones we have right now are not
