Just got my S7 and I'm on PE1...started on PF2, but had trouble rooting...not sure if it was because it was midnight when I started or I missed a few steps. The process went much better this morning.
Anyway, when I did ##DATA#, hit edit, typed in MSL, APN settings, APN2 LTE internet, my APN type was also grayed out. However, @Soooperstar sent me the hiddenmenu folder with the apk and odex. This may only work on Sprint ROMs and not the U version (feel free to try though).
Get a root explorer and go to system>app . Copy the hiddenmenu folder to someplace on your internal or external storage. Take the contents of the attached Zip and copy them into the system hidden folder. It should replace the old hiddenmenu.apk and oat folder. Permissions should be set correctly. If not, the hiddenmenu.apk and oat>arm64>hiddenmenu.odex should be rw-r-r . The directories should be drwxr-xr-x. But they should be fine if you copy and replace/merge.
Reboot phone
Go to phone app, and type ##DATA# (##3282#). hit Edit, type in MSL, APN settings, APN2 LTE internet, APN type....you should be able to now edit those and add the < ,dun >. You'll have to do it for both...APN2 LTE and APN2 EHRPD. Then go to settings>Hotspot and Tethering> and turn it on.
Someone test this method. 1 of 2 things caused my hotspot to work...I think it was this though. I just received my phone yesterday and it shipped with PE1 and my hotspot didn't work before this and asked me if I wanted a subscription.

Yeah, theory 2 does though. You can edit telephony.db with sqlite. That should work.

i tested both these methods. nope.
i first did the hiddenmenu.apk swap which looked like it just rewrote the APN's in the MSL section but they were still uneditable.
tried to change the apn in the Telephoney.db with sqlite editor and it looked like it changed but they system never saved the settings. still got the Hotspot subscription prompt.
i Tried the Bypass by activating the hotspot and connecting a device before it detects the hotspot is on But it never will stay on and always gives an error message. i did get it to stick once but there was no internet connection when it did.
it was rooted and have since unrooted the phone and deactivated it.
Have we made any progress here?

Hey guys I'm new! Nice to meet all of you.... here are some things you can do to make this great rom even more functional on the r800x.
1. WIPE YOUR SYSTEM ENTIRELY... Data, Cache, Dalvik.. the works. Install KA12 first, followed by doomlord's wifi modules (I used the most recent test release for the 2.34 verizon upgrade and they worked like a charm.)
2. Let the system boot up.. you will most likely get some kind of error, or it may take you to the setup screen... either way, at this point, return to CWM, and wipe your dalvik cache. Next Install the CDMA patch 9 (I used the non-modded version)
3. Install google apps, and any other KA12 zips you desire to flash. When you are finished flashing, clear both cache and dalvik.
4. Now install KA13 over KA12 system meaning DO NOT DO THE FACTORY RESET.
5. You may want to reflash the wifi modules, I do not know if it is necessary, but I did it to to be safe.
6. Reboot the system, and complete set up.
7. Using root explorer, go navigate to the system apps directory, and find a phile called SEMCtelephonyservice.apk (or something very much like that).. make sure root explorer is set mounted to R/W and then simply click on this app, and open it with the APK handler or simply click install. It will tell you this app is already installed, and you are replacing it. Say ok. Now go and try your dialer. You should only get one force close after making a call now, and it should go away forever after this... No more phone force close yay!!
8. While your in system apps folder, go ahead and delete the USBconnectivtyux.apk (or something like that) ... don't worry.. this has no effect on USB connectivity at all, it still works fine... and guess what.. NO MORE FORCE CLOSE WHEN YOU CONNECT USB!
9. With your wifi connected, go to the play store and download a free app called APN manager... install it. Once you have opened it simply import the APN settings for verizon onto your phone, and reboot your phone. Once rebooted,(you can turn off wifi now) open up your mobile network settings, and make sure you have mobile network data enabled... I allowed national roaming, I'm not sure if you have to.. then click the APN settings... you should see Verizon in there now. Make sure to click that circle to turn on those APN settings.. This will get your sms/mms up and running.
10. Finally, to get my 3G icon to show up I had to redownload the SETDNS app... I got the pro version... and when I enabled google DNS, I immediately got a 3g icon in my status bar. The second time I ran through this, I did not immediately get a 3g status icon.. If this is the case for you, just simply toggle airplane mode after setting the DNS, and your 3g should eventually kick in. If you do not get a 3g icon, my understanding is that your data works even though you can't see it, however you will have trouble downloading apps.
Thanks dude.

I had been going through flashing withdrawl due to the lack of roms for the XT925 and decided to play around and see what worked. Installing XT926 roms is no problem with safestrap but there were always thing not quite working; only 3G speed and no wifi being the main ones. I found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2107662
but replacing the two files wasn't enough so I played some more and had success!
Getting LTE: Enter *#*#4636#*#* on the dialer and select "Phone Information" scroll down and make sure "LTE/CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA" is selected under "Set preferred network type:". DO not change anything else here unless you know what you are doing! DO not change anything else here unless you know what you are doing!
Make sure "Global" is selected under "Network Mode" in your Mobile Network Settings. Now enter your APN manually. BOOM you has LTE. I had to keep resetting from GSM/UTMS to "Global" after a reboot, this is fixed by the build.prop changes and factory reset.
Add or change the following lines:
ro.mot.ds.fastdormancy.disable=true
telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=0
telephony.lteOnGsmDevice=1
ro.telephony.default_network=9
ro.ril.def.preferred.network=9
ro.mot.eri=0
ro.cdma.home.operator.isnan=0
then I removed every line that had "cdma" in it (except the one above)
Now the default_network setting will not be changed unless you factory reset after and if the rom does not have your apns "on file" you will have to fiddle to get data to work on a reboot. This is fixed by replacing the apns-conf.xml file found in /system/etc/ with one that has your carrier setting or editing the existing one.
Note: I tried doing an advanced data restore through Safestrap/TWRP and the connection on boot issue came back. Restoring with Titatnium worked fine
Getting wifi: you need a root browser for this. Back up your original ones by adding ".bak" to the end of the name. Download the zip attached (no it is not flashable, I don't have that expertise) and extract it to your phone somewhere. Copy the Set1 (cfg80211.ko & wlan.ko) files to /system/lib/modules then copy the Set2 (cfg80211.ko & prima_wlan.ko) files to /system/lib/modules/prima
Fix permissions and reboot. (I don't actually know if all four files are needed, just that it works when they are all there!)
"Wifi still isn't working!?" Compare the permissions of the new files to the old ones (you backed them up right?).
Getting rid of "This SIM card is from an unknown source:" delete VzwPhoneService.apk from system/app
Tested with "Foot Through The Floor", "wWidow" and "fusionHD" with safestrap.

mattlgroff for the clue that it was possible with his Batakang for Atrix HD release

Everything works flawlessly now!
I am not responsible for you borking this process and by extension your device, always have backups to save yer arse if you do. I have messed things up many times with many devices with no sweat because I consistently backup.

Re: How I got XT926 roms working on my XT925
So far the only issue I have had is that the data will not reconnect after WiFi is turned off. A reboot does fix it and sometimes I will have to toggle gsm/utms back to global after the reboot. Not a big deal for me as I only use WiFi at home but it could be aggravating. I'm going to see if there is anything I can change in the build prop and/or more lib files to copy.
I've really been researching all over to bring it all together... So a work in progress, but definitely usable as a daily driver!
Sent from a non-apple device.
I was able to fix the data disconnects through some build.prop changes and added it to the first post. I'm still going to look and see what else can be tweaked but I'm very happy at the progress!
Added a bunch more tweaks to make the data connection persist reboot and make everything run as it should.
i can also confirm wifi worked perfectly after following the instructions on the main page i didnt have to chang apn's the ATT ones were already there then again when i flashed this rom i never wiped system just factory,cache,dalvik
So say i didn't back up the files.. Anyone know the permissions? lol

You need to mount the folder as R/W to change the permissions.

How do I do that with root browser? Change permissions? Because that doesn't work.

In my experience, Root browser lite has been pretty useless for me as a root browser...try ES or Root explorer.

Long-press a file then click "Properties", then click "Change" next to permissions.
What rom are you trying to use? I've been told that the CM10 for XT926 has a different file structure than the other roms that I've had success with. If you are trying to get CM10 on your Atrix HD you are better off using the one for the XT925:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1993888
I believe everything should work fine.

You need to change the permissions for the file after moving it. The "change" won't happen for you because you are trying to change it in your sdcard storage.
OK got the permissions changed then moved the files and rebooted and still nothing. But there was no prima folder inside of modules to put anything in.
Sent from my Atrix HD using xda app-developers app
If it's CM10 then yes the file structure is different. CM10 for the XT925 should have working WiFi for the Atrix HD without changing anything.
So I can't get WiFi Woking? I have 2 cm10 versions one only lte works and one only WiFi works.
Sent from my Atrix HD using xda app-developers app
I haven't played around with the CM roms to know how everything goes together.
I'm guessing you got lte working on the XT926 version but no WiFi and no lte on the XT925 version? On epinter's CM10.1 there is a bug that the signal won't show but the lte DOES work:
http://www.linuxmobile.org/razrhd (has CM 10 and CM 10.1 for XT925)
Bugs:
LTE Signal bar (lte works, but the signal indicator don't show)
Is there any software that monitors our usage of tethering (snitching to AT&T for those of us without a tethering plan)? If so, what is it?
Software will prevent you from tethering without a tethering plan (or code to bypass those checks).
The only way AT&T knows if you are tethering is if they decide to investigate packet data. They can tell if the requests originated from your device or some other system (like a PC or tablet). AT&T will look deeper into your packet data if your usage raises a flag for them.
not my method, but ES file explorer will bypass checking your tethering provision and create a hotspot.
1. make sure you have WiFi off, the app won't do that automatically.
2. launch es file explorer.
3. press the menu button > tools > net manager > create a hotspot network.
4. enjoy.

It didn't work with my T-Mobile SIM, it just kept saying invalid SIM and turning the hotspot back off. It's not that big of a deal, not enough for me to take the phone back anyway!
I really like the framework mod btw, so thanks for that!

SOLVED (From other forum): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43337053&postcount=27
1) disable "TetheringProvision" using AppQuarantine
2) Use EF File Explorer to enable a mobile hotspot
3) You still get an error message that settings stopped responding but the hotspot stays active.
I am rooted, of course.

this also did not work s-i537 I keep getting the Att msg toy need to contact att dial...
I'm running stock 4.4.2 on my S4, but I can't get 4G/LTE connectivity. When I power it on, it shows 4G for 30 seconds and then goes to H or 3G. Of course I tried my sim with another phone and another sim in my phone, and they all work.
Now I want to do this:
After you have rooted the device completely, go to Google Play and install 'ES file explorer'. Open the app, and press the menu key on the device and you will get a panel to your left on the screen. Scroll down and enable Rootexplorer (you will ask to grant permission by the SuperSU app since you have rooted, so give permission). Now use the search function and find the file with this EXACT name 'persist.radio.lteon' and delete it. Please make sure you are deleting this exact file. Don't delete anything else and end up bricking your device. After deleting restart the phone and that's it! You will have the LTE/WCDMA/GSM option in the network mode once you are booted and you will receive 4G signals if you are in an area with LTE coverage.

Some methods may install additional apps/software on your device. XDA-Developers or the author does not take any responsibility for your device.

What you need to do to get tethering on Nougat is root the device (temporarily at least), enable tethering and then (if you want) unroot it so that everything is back to normal and you can take OTA updates and use Android Pay without any issues.
All you’ll need to enable tethering on Android nougat is TWRP recovery installed on your device and the latest systemless SuperSU zip to root the device. (Always remember to backup your system just in case)
How to Enable Tethering on Android Nougat
Root your android running nougat
Edit build.prop file: Add the
net.tethering.noprovisioning
line to the bottom of build.prop file on your Android device. (Download Build Prop Editor from the play store if you don't know how to get to this, I suggest Rom toolbox as it has build.prop included as well as terminal emulator which you will need for the next step. LINKS BELOW)
Reboot device after saving changes to build.prop file.
Download/install a Terminal emulator app from Play Store (I used the terminal emulator included in ROM toolbox but you can choose whichever you'd like.) You also you WILL need busy box installed to be able to execute this line.
Open Terminal emulator on your device and issue the following commands one-by-one:
su
settings put global tether_dun_required 0
exit
└ Grant root access to the app when asked.
Reboot device
DONE!
If you wish to unroot now you can. I have not tested this so can't confirm if works after unroot (since I love having ROOT) but jyst go to
SuperSu settings full unroot. Restart and you should be good. This should renable android pay. If not don't ask me to help as I don't use android pay nor wish to unroot my own device.

Did you make sure u granted ROOT permission for the build prop and terminal apps? You also must restart in between the build prop and terminal commands. You also need busybox installed with root permission this was mist likely the reason it didn't stick. I've updated the OP along with links. Please let me know if that helps. Last note make sure everything is up to date.

Hmm try using a vpn. Nordvpn is having a 7day free trial right now. Reset your network settings, repeat the steps above. Before you turn on the hotspot shield turn on the vpn and after connect try it. If you still get the notification then its something installed on your phone from VM that's monitoring your usage which is most likely. I recommend switching to boost. Their 50$ plan is pretty good. Great coverage in my area and surroundings. I use about 200-300gb torrenting and tethering a month and they don't seem to care. Using a vpn I get about 2mb down consistently except during peak hours. Anyways let me know about the vpn working or not. Hopefully it's that simple.

Hmm try using a vpn. Nordvpn is having a 7day free trial right now. Reset your network settings, repeat the steps above. Before you turn on the hotspot shield turn on the vpn and after connect try it. If you still get the notification then its something installed on your phone from VM that's monitoring your usage which is most likely. I recommend switching to boost. Their 50$ plan is pretty good. Great coverage in my area and surroundings. I use about 200-300gb torrenting and tethering a month and they don't seem to care. Using a vpn I get about 2mb down consistently except during peak hours. Anyways let me know about the vpn working or not. Hopefully it's that simple.

Thank you. I'm definitely going to switch. I don't know why I'm paying $60 for "Unlimited" data to use only with the phone and they expect me to pay an additional $10 for only 2 Gigs of hotspot. I hardly use any of my phone data. LOL. Maybe I need to check prices of wifi internet for the home if they even have it in my neck of the woods. Thank you so very much for all your time and help. You're the bestest. Happy Holidays.

Yea I hear you. My $50 plan comes with 8gb hotspot buti tend to go over that...WAY over that lol. Currently torrenting 8 pc games lol. Side note though on this plan. You get 23gb a month "prioritized" connection meaning full speeds always. After that your put on the back burner during peak times or in other words when your tower your connected to is busy. Doesn't happen often it seems and I live in the middle of a decent size city so if you're not in say Houston or new York I'd say you won't have anything to worry about. I'm sorry I didn't fix your problem and I wish you the best. Happy holidays to you as well.
Open Terminal emulator on your device and issue the following commands one-by-one:
su
settings put global tether_dun_required 0
exit
└ Grant root access to the app when asked.
Reboot device
Now I put su and entered the setting line but when I put exit nothing happen.... I did reboot... any way how to tell if I did this right and works fine?? I have j700t1 metro

PLEASE NOTE:This is NOT a guide to root your phone but i did provide the links to the tools to do so for the Samsung j700p.
WARMING; Rooting a device may void the warranty on the device. It may also make the device unstable or if not done properly, may completely brick the device. Some methods may install additional apps/software on your device. XDA-Developers or the author does not take any responsibility for your device. Root at your own risk and only if you understand what you are doing! Additionally this may go against your service contract which I'm not responsible for as well.
Worked for my j700p running 7.1.1 stock rooted with TWRP/SUPERSU latest.
What you need to do to get tethering on Nougat is root the device (temporarily at least), enable tethering and then (if you want) unroot it so that everything is back to normal and you can take OTA updates and use Android Pay without any issues.
All you’ll need to enable tethering on Android nougat is TWRP recovery installed on your device and the latest systemless SuperSU zip to root the device. (Always remember to backup your system just in case)
How to Enable Tethering on Android Nougat
Root your android running nougat
Edit build.prop file: Add the
net.tethering.noprovisioning
line to the bottom of build.prop file on your Android device. (Download Build Prop Editor from the play store if you don't know how to get to this, I suggest Rom toolbox as it has build.prop included as well as terminal emulator which you will need for the next step. LINKS BELOW)
Reboot device after saving changes to build.prop file.
Download/install a Terminal emulator app from Play Store (I used the terminal emulator included in ROM toolbox but you can choose whichever you'd like.) You also you WILL need busy box installed to be able to execute this line.
Open Terminal emulator on your device and issue the following commands one-by-one:
su
settings put global tether_dun_required 0
exit
└ Grant root access to the app when asked.
Reboot device
DONE!
If you wish to unroot now you can. I have not tested this so can't confirm if works after unroot (since I love having ROOT) but jyst go to
SuperSu settings full unroot. Restart and you should be good. This should renable android pay. If not don't ask me to help as I don't use android pay nor wish to unroot my own device.

Did you type each line and hit enter(return) each time? Such as "su[enter]" starts another line "settings put global blah blah[enter]" it will start another line "exit[enter]" u may need to type exit again after this. I had to. So 2 "exit[enter]"
I used an alternative method I found here awhile back.. install APN backup and restore, convert it to a system app (important, use apps2sd or the like), backup your apns then edit the backup file, add ",dun" to each apn in the APN backup xml in the "type" field. Then go back into the APN backup app, delete apns and restore the backup you edited. There's a full write up here around the just forum somewhere with more details. It works great, may have to restore your APN backup if you update prl.

Sorry so late on reply. I hope you figured this out already but your on a different and newer version of this phone.

Does this method still work for you? Now when I use my WiFi after my 8gb limit it goes to boost homepage on connected device ?
Does this work on the j700t1.
I'm going to try it when I get home but I'm just curious if anyone got it working on the metro pcs variant.
