Root [MetroPCS] New tethering bypass

J

jay2nice000

Newbie
Method 1- Wireless Hotspot
New method that I have figured out have worked for the Xbox 360, Xbox one and my tablet. pretty much any mobile.... currently having problems with playstations and laptops

update- i kinda got it working with a laptop/pc if you freeze lg.upsell in titanium pro. you can get to some websites but not all....still working around that..but you still have to follow the guide below


Download this
https://sites.google.com/site/wifitetherrouter/ ---yes you do have to pay for it, i would post a link where to DL it but i dont think i cant post it on here. but google is your friend :)

Support our devs without them you would be paying more out of pocket every month

Anyways after install just put your settings like this

Encryption type-wpa2

Wifi channel-1

Interface-wlan0

Method - native tether

And your done fire it up and you're good to go.

P. S. - it wouldn't let me update live on Xbox 360 but once I did via USB I was playing live with no problem but the weird part is I downloaded a game on Xbox one lol.

the regular pda has a data limit

works perfect for pc

there are no messing with the settings on the phone
all you have to do install on the phone and install pda on the pc

after it installs go to settings and click hide tethering and you golden!!!

enjoy!!!! dont forget to show the love
 
Works on my laptop with windows 8.1, but internet explorer is the only browser working.. But.. everything requiring internet is working fine. I'll test this on my other devices later on
Good find

Edit: for those who prefer using chrome, download this extension and create a new user agent in the options. Add this ua sting

yea it works on xbox one no problem, downloaded 2 games and 3 demos. it downloaded pretty fast

due me a fav trevor i had the ps4 about a month ago and i was trying a different method...anyways connect using my method and try to see if you can use netflix.

it was wierd for me i could stream netflix and any ps apps but i couldnt play online, the download always failed
 
Hey guys

Just wanted to add that I was able to tether to my tablet with a free app called "tethering fix" all you do is click on the "fix tethering" button. Then enable wifi hotspot using a third party app( don't use the one in the settings menu because it will try to verify with metro that you have purchased the feature)

Please test it out.good day!!

I don't have a ps4, but i tried it on a ps3 and it didn't work, the internet connection test had a pass on obtaining ip address and a fail at internet connection

It Will NOT work on a laptop (currently trying to figure that out) this is so simple compared to the other so called bypass that you had to use a bridge to connect to other wireless devices.

I use this app on my Samsung Galaxy S3 4.4.2 using Boost Mobile and I can find the and connect to it with my PC running Windows 7 but I cant get any internet access. Any Idea what wrong?
 
Thanks... I had this app and could never find the right settings.

Techmanc: you could try to "clear app data" and only change the settings suggested. That's what I had to do.

Still no luck with my PS3 but my tablet and laptop are working great.
 
I can sign in on my xbox 360 but i have a strict NAT which isn't letting me use Netflix and other apps, Is this a problem for you guys as well? Does the xbox one say anything about a strict NAT?
 
I'm having the same problem, the tiles don't load on the home screens. It works with netflix and I.even played some halo on it but updating anything doesn't work. I also tried it with a apple tv. Again netflix worked but watching videos from apple did not.

yes the nat is strict on the 360.... sometimes i see a open nat on xbox one lol.. anyways netflix and hbo works fine for me. sometimes the picture of the movie wont come up but it does play. just go on your phone and search what movie you want and then just type it in on the xbox

now updating as far as the game or the xbox system?
 
I have the best solution to this thread... are you ready for it. The stock tether app works just fine it does exactly what it is suppose to do and all you have to do to bypass the verification check is to install the app called elixir 2 from the play store, create a status bar widget with a tethering option if you don't want a new status bar then simply create a widget for your home screen using the other elixir 2 apps on the play store. When you activate the button it wont ask metro pcs if you've paid and simply turns on the hotspot. ENJOY
