Root [Rooted] TetheringProblems

I just rooted my Nexus 6 on the Sprint Network set everything up and now my WiFI hotpot will turn on and successfully creates a network. The issue I am having is that there is not internet access when the network is created. I've tried connecting to the network with my Nexus 9, my laptop running Windows 8 and the wife's Galaxy S4. Same issue with all of them connects to the network but does gain any internet access. Anyone have any ideas on how to correct this issue or what may be causing it.

Edit- I can get it to work with my Nexus 9 now via bluetooth tethering but still nothing with the hotspot.

You may be able to get it to work by editing the settings.db

Get a SQL editor (I use this but it is a paid app - I believe there are free ones too, but I can't comment on those)
Launch the editor, give it root access and open this file - /data/data/com.android.provider.settings/databases/settings.db
In this file, Open the "global" table and add the following entry:
label: tether_dun_required
value: 0

Exit and reboot
 
Josh - I have rooted my Galaxy S4 but cant get hotspot to work. What setup/app did you use to get hotspot to work.

Thanks
 
I just watched you tube videos and followed others instructions, when I have time later I'll try and link the video I watched. IDK if it would be the same for your phone I never got it to work when I had my note 3.
