How to enable wifi hotspot on Sprint Note 7 without ROOT....

Edit... Works on PHE update...

Make sure you have adb working on your computer...

Have USB Debuging enabled...

Connect your phone with your data cable....

Open Windows Explorer and go to your adb folder...

Hold shift and right click to open command prompt here.....

Type " adb devices " and hit enter to make sure your phone is recognized....

Once it is...

Type " adb shell " and hit enter...

Type " settings put global tether_dun_required 0 "

Hit enter....

Wait about ten seconds then unplug your phone and reboot...

Wifi tether should now work...

If not make sure wifi hotspot sharing is enabled in the hotspot settings....

ENJOY EVERYONE....

It is not working for me. Guess I'll be going back to root. This was really my reason to be rooted, but alas *sigh*

Edit: tried a few times, no go. I can see the change in ADB, it does change the value to 0. Still, after a minute or less it
changes back to 1 by itself. Set it to 0, reboot...it's back to 1. Set it to 0, confirm at 0... Still goes back to 1 after a moment.
There's no stopping that 1 damnit lol

Forgive my naivete if this is obviously not possible for whatever reason but is there a way to directly edit the APN settings
via ADB or other tool/utility outside the UI? Is there a chance sammy might have just disabled the UI without restricting
permissions to the values themselves. Just spit balling.

To clarify, I'm assuming "tether_dun_required 0" is an attempt to disable the authorization verification method by changing
the flag to zero. Could there be some way to edit the value(s) (assuming they're APN related per the previous successful
non-root tether enabling method) responsible for failing the "tether_dun_required" method?

There are other methods, but they involve editing a database file. Unfortunately, you need root for that. Possibly other ways,
but I haven't found one that works outside of root as of yet.

I had tried Hotspot edit via adb and had the same issue where it would auto revert back.

I ended up just editing the telephony.db via current KNOX friendly ROOTED ROM.

I may give CDMA Workshop a try later after Nougat update is available.

Then I should be able to keep edited APN indefinitely.

Same here. I'm glad I kept a copy of the telephony.db I modified. Just went back to root and pasted the file and was back in
business lol

I know nothing about CDMA workshop unfortunately. Never messed with it.

I have a Note 3 rooted still with Hotspot. Are you saying you transferred this over somehow or would that be something you
had on a computer?

No, I had rooted this phone and modified the right database. Just held onto it, just in case. Good thing I did lol

Running PGC and Hotspot confirmed

Greetings One & All,

I am currently using the Sprint Note 7 running PGC Unrooted, I followed the instructions provided in the first post by
intenselyinsane and I not only rebooted my phone, I followed up by powering off my phone and restarting it. In both cases I
retained my ability to use my Hotspot and Tethering. Like many, this is the primary reason I root my phone and can hold off
for the time being until the developers are more comfortable with their rooting methods now that this is available to me.

Thank You intenselyinsane!

The thing the ADB switches always reset back for me. Always. Within seconds. Verified this through ADB. I'm convinced it
does nothing permanent. I suppose if it's worked for others, hell.. good for you.

The simple reboot and activate worked 99% of the time. When it didn't, I'd just reboot and it would work the next time. Never
dropped out for no reason, never got the 'not subscribed' message after connecting, so it is what it is I guess...
