Root [MetroPCS] Tethering for MPCS.F6....!!! All Roms **VIDEO for stock only** UPDATED 12-02-14

OK, thanks guys.
I will try with the pay version of 3C Toolbox (since it doesn't look like you can get it anymore with the old name).

Just curious will the free version of 3c toolbox not work for this or do you just want people to pay for the pro version?

The free version those not work... I tried it before... So end-up with the paid one... N it workd.. So why not paying ones n hav tether for as much we can... ????
 
I haven't had a chance to try with the paid 3C Toolbox yet since I haven't had my daughters phone since the last time I tried but, remembering back on what happened, I have a question.

After setting up Wi-Fi Tether and the free version of 3C Toolbox shouldn't I have at least gotten the upsell page? There was no internet connection at all.
 
You must have done something incorrectly. You will need to uninstall WiFi tether and start over, following the directions to the letter. By the way I just got it to work with the free version of 3c Toolbox without having to do anything other than what's listed in the OP. Also, the developer still makes money off the ads in the free version so there's no harm in using it if you don't need the pro features.
 
There should be a link in the OP for the version of WiFi tether needed. You can try doing every step except for the one that uses root explorer. Root explorer probably isn't needed since you are only navigating to the file location but it's a good app to have. In my opinion it is the best file manager there is for rooted android. You can even use it to theme deodexed apps if you know what you're doing. Btw one thing I learned not too long ago is that an apk is just a zip with the file extension changed to apk.
Sorry for getting off topic there I just got kinda excited.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times following each step exactly as it is written. I will admit that I'm not sure what step 2 accomplishes since all you do is navigate to a folder and look at a file. (Do you open it? With what?) Other than that step the rest of the steps are pretty straight forward. Also, Wi-Fi tether works fine on other phones I have, just not this new f6. If I had to choose where the problem is I would have to lean toward the phone since Wi-Fi tether works for me on other phones.

Edit: wow, I can't understand why the written instructions and the video aren't the same. I just watched the video and was surprised to find out you need to change the permissions of hostapd. I wish the written instructions said that. Could have saved me a lot of time. I'll give it another try when I have my daughters phone again.

Just a little feedback here.
This method works fine without doing step 2. You don't need root explorer or any other file manager.
