Root OFFICIAL TETHER

[alexander james]

Just add these lines to the build.prop

ro.tether.denied=0
ro.tether_dun_required=0
net.tethering.noprovisioning=1

 

[jfuginay]

Are you on 4.4 or 5.0? (kitkat or lollipop)

Thanks again. I will try this and report shortly. You have it set as "true". I put it in bold red as I quoted you above so you can see what I mean.

LMAO! Oh well, my Volt just doesn't want to be tethered I guess... I did this exactly as posted. Turned it off and went into TWRP. I then wiped Dalvik along with the Cache three times. Rebooted back into system. I turned WiFi Hotspot on and I STILL get the stupid network block info. No joy. I've had a busy week, but maybe I'll do a fresh and clean ZV5 Odexed install again tonight and try Jfuginay's tweak first and see what happens. Then I'll try yours and see what happens. If nothing, I'll just go back to my backup. My phone is 100% perfect for me now except for the tethering. I just wanted to have it even though I may never use it. Yeah, I'm just weird like that. Lol Thanks again for trying to help me!

Hey guys, I'm done. Wiped my Volt clean in TWRP and installed a clean and fresh ZV5 Odexed. Tried this after activation and it just didn't work. Still get that stupid network block info. Fuggit! Thanks again for all the help.

 

[LEVERage]

Aye, Bolted. If you want wireless tethering, just look up the app WiFi Tether Router. It's blocked on the play store (Sprint), but you can find it through other means.

 

[Volted]

Thanks, Leverage. I know. That's how all of this started for me. I've been having issues with that app as well as PDAnet+ on my phone. WiFi works perfectly though! I couldn't believe it before, but now I'm confident that it is some kind of a hardware issue. See my posts here if you like: http://androidforums.com/threads/wifi-tethering-for-lg-volt.909238/

Everytime I tether using any method boost throttles me and makes my data like 256k a second for the rest of the month. I like the idea but it's just not worth it...

Heres a couple of other settings i was messing with. Download org.vndnguyen.shortcutmaster.lite-1.apk open it, grant permission, then App Explorer, scroll down to Service Programu, then scroll down to IotHiddenMainMenuSprint, PDN Setting, Tethering PDN Select, and select using PAM. Then go back and click on Tethering DL Port Fowarding, and disable it. Now go back to app explorer and goto IotHiddenMainMenu and select MPDN Setting, and tick Internet PDN.
These are the settings that i have right now.

I've never had that happen. Are you sure you just aren't burning up your data and getting throttled?

What happened was after i tethered the phone i didn't realize a kid in my neighborhood logged on and downloaded a COD map lol i got an email and text from boost telling me i exceeded my data plan and i was to be throttled thru the end of the month. I was on my 5th day of the month.. It was a long month. I'm just not going to try it again

You know you can secure it...

Of course I can, I had already had a few pints that evening and my judgement was a little off

Hello alexander james. I got the shortcut master app and when I checked, all of my settings were identical to yours. I had already set up my build.prop identical to yours as well. Still no joy. Fuggit! Thanks again for all your time and help!

 

[kwiknuts]

Hey guys how exactly do I do this process where you modify this build.prop thing to gain access to LG Volt wifi tether built into ZV5 rom? Take me through the steps from beginning am a newbie at this. My phone is rooted and has SuperSU. thanks

I loaded up " One Touch Wi-fi Router " and it worked. It doesn't give you any status of who or how many are connected, but it works when my home pc connect to the lgls740v5.

I FINALLY got it working! For those of you that have had issues trying all the other methods and could use what I learned, here you go broken down Barney Style:

I used Shortcut Master (Lite) by vndnguyen from Play Store.

1) After installing and then launching the app, go to upper right corner menu and tap the three dots.

2) Do a search (third option from top in menu) for "Apn".

3) Towards the bottom, there are three "com.lge.hiddenmenu" options in white letters. IMPORTANT: Tap the middle option that reads "com.lge.hiddenmenu.vzw_only.ApnSettings" in gray letters under it.

4) Tap on "Launch" (picture of the rocket ship).

5) Tap on "internet" option at the top.

6) Go down and tap on "APN type". IMPORTANT: Now add ",dun" at the end of "default,mms". VERY IMPORTANT: When done, it should be "default,mms,dun". Tap "OK".

7) Go to upper right corner menu and tap the three dots. Tap on "Save". Exit out of app and reboot the phone.

8) When phone boots up, go to "Settings" and under "Wireless Networks" at the top, tap on "More...". The option is located below "Call" and "Share & connect" that are below the toggle switches for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Mobile Data, etc.

9) Tap on "Wi-Fi hotspot" and then tap on "Set up Wi-Fi hotspot". Set security (WPA2 PSK is best) and a password. A password is IMPORTANT! You should change Network SSID to "C:\Virus.exe", "Network Not Found", "Hidden Network" or whatever you like. Tap "Save".

10) You can now toggle "Wi-Fi hotspot" on and enjoy wireless tethering!
