Since it looks like there will not be any root, I was wondering if there is away to tether if you have old unlimited data plan? Thanks!

FoxFi works for me. I did also buy the FoxFi Key when I saw that FoxFi worked.
I do not own an s7 yet, but has anyone got tethering to work with the new root exploit?

I have a Verizon with a grandfathered unlimited data plan. I used to use it a lot with my Samsung Galaxy S3 but a forced update broke this functionality. I would like to upgrade phones and want to know if the Moto X Style/Pure can do subscription-less wireless hotspots? If so, how?
I will venture a guess and say that FoxFi won't work on this. From my small amount of research so far, it sounds like FoxFi doesn't work on Motos. Poeple have also seemed to have bad luck with other app store tethering apps on the Motos. With that said, this being "unlocked," I don't know if the native tethering settings will work.
Either way, I'm assuming if this has an unlocked bootloader and we can root... I'm sure there will be a way around.

Thank you for answering my question. Do you know if it makes a difference if I purchase a Moto X Style vs a Pure?
My assumption is that the Style will be locked by Verizon while the Pure should not be locked? If it is the same thing, I will buy a style since I can get that subsidized with a 2 year plan if this is not the case I will purchase a Pure from a third party.
I have used foxfi in the past with moto phones. I have not needed it since loosing my unlimited data. Those phones were on pre 5.0 android. I have not kept up to see if they have updated it to work on 5.0 and later.

On the droid turbo, nothing worked.
However as long as we get root, which I think will happen. They can modify the apk not to check for hotspot provisions.

Since this is an unlocked phone, wouldn't it work just like how Nexus devices work? I assumed that since you wouldn't have any of Verizon's software it wouldn't do the tethering check.

Yes - Its just like the Nexus (baked in with no service Check) - Tested using ATT.

My next phone.
Heck, I don't even need to root if that's the case.
Me too! If I can tether out of the box, I won't need to root either, though I'll probably unlock the bootloader on day 1, since that wipes the device.
I read elsewhere that it is advisable to do the initial setup over wifi, with no sim, to prevent the device from downloading and VZW software that may prompt the device to check for subscription before starting hotspot.
I know it isn't that hard to watch a tutorial and root, but with OTA's popping up, it would be nice if I didn't need to root.
According to @spotmark in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...o-x-2015-pure-edition-waiting-t3192510/page51 it's confirmed working on Verizon with Unlimited Data, no tethering subscription!!
If you're unlocked and rooted, you don't need Foxfi or any other third party app. Native Hotspot works fine
(I'm on Verizon)

Not true. I'm with Straight Talk (AT&T) and it wouldn't let me tether. There is a provisioning check. I had to root to get tethering.
Straight Talk is not ATT. It uses other carriers networks to provide service. That's not the same as having serivce directly from ATT. I have Verizon and ATT, tethering worked on both without root.
I'm on Sprint 10+ years and I root and enable native tethering on all of my phones since the Evo.Sprint has never said a word.I average 20-30 GB of data a month .
sprint limits hotspot data
Hi, have a quick question. I am on a simply everything plan at sprint for 70 bucks a month. But they check if I use the unlimited data with my hotspot. If I tether they limit the data to 3 GB a month and charge if I get over that. Is there a way to get around that?

Nope, can't do that... It's stealing...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64741769&postcount=4
So I bought a nexus 6p and have rooted it. The reason for rooting is for the tether feature. I'm grandfathered in on Verizon's unlimited data so that's why tethering is a big deal. Each app I try doesn't work but I know I have root access. Help anyone?
The 2 apps I have tried are barnacle and open garden.
Did you try the built in Tether feature? to see if that works, via USB?
I do not have tethering as part of my plan at vzw.
I normally use open garden to ovoid tethering cost.

You don't need it for this device.
It just works. No need for those other apps.
Won't it charge since I don't have tethering as part of my plan?
For all interested FoxFi Works well!

Thank you very much for posting this!
Sweet!!! Got the s7 for $250 from Verizon and still got my unlimited data. Glad to see foxfi working
Confirmed. Foxfi working over here. Using it to tether the computer now.
If you are using the newer "Verizon plan" tethering and Hotspot are free for anyone who didn't know.
Yes, but for us Unlimited users, this is a godsend.

I wish I could've been on Verizon when they offered unlimited data.
thanks for letting us know, I've not used foxfi before. always had native tether in roms used on my s3 and s4
I got in on the unlimited plan under the wire when I bought my galaxy nexus. Been on it ever since. I can't tell you how relieved I am that Foxfi works, and without root. With Foxfi I can stream to the xbox one and access Netflix and Amazon Prime without issue. I imagine gaming would be the same.
hey everyone!
so i have the s7 edge on the att unlimited plan.
I have been using Foxfi (i did but the full version) which bypasses the usb tethering, not the hotspot tethering.
so i bypass the usb tethering to my laptop, and on the full version you can do wifi sharing. Which then i can hotspot to anything, tv, xbox, ect. so for people who are trying to look for a way to bypass that, there you go.
but my issue is when is go to do wifi sharing it now says re-enable microsoft wifi virtual mini adapter...
I have searched the internet for a few days trying anything i can do re-enable that, but nothing is working!
using toshiba on windows 10.
any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated
I have the s7 edge on Att unlimited plan also. Do you have to be rooted to use Foxfi?

To be honest I think even if we bypass the tethering restriction AT&T will begin to take notice. I had a palm pre years ago and that is what happened to me

When it happened to me AT&T sent me a statement saying if I continued to do it they would automatically upgrade me to a tethering plan.
Rooted w/ Xposed and using XTouchWiz confirmed working with new unlimited plans.
I have the t-mobile one unlimited plan that is limited to 10gb tethering. Does anyone know how to hide it so that I can bypass that limit without being throttled? I am rooted btw.
Thanks!
I use FoxFi on my phone with PDANet on my PC. PDAnet masks the tethering data as regular data.

PDANet tethering has worked for me since 2012.
WiFi too.
