Please create a Wifi or USB Tether module for Magisk. The Magisk Tether Enabler module is no longer available. The good Wifi and USB Tether apps for rooted phones do not work with Magisk, only SuperSU. ie Wifi Tether by Fabio. Grasso. Please, I do not want to go backwards and root with SuperSU
Why can't the native tether app be used? It should work just by having net.tethering.noprovisioning=true in build.prop and entering:
su
settings put global tether_dun_required 0
In adb or terminal. From what I've been seeing in custom ROMs at least for my Nexus 6, nobody is using tether_dun_required 0 in their builds, having to do it manually every wipe.
I never tried the module you speak of but I wouldn't be too surprised if that's why it did lol.

I do not pay extra for tethering and have unlimited phone data plan. The wifi tether app I mentioned gets around the carrier detecting tethering data and blocking it. Wifi Tether worked great fo 5 years on 2 different rooted phones using SuperSU. The developer admits issues with Magisk and Kingroot. No issues with SuperSU.
A Magisk module would would be appreciated and Im certain others would use it.

Did you try what I posted? I have Sprint and use about 800gb yo 1tb a month of hotspot and they report 0mb on the website.
I use pdanet with magisk and no problem with it working.

Why don't you just try the build.prop and terminal commands I posted then try the native tether I'm sure you will find it works then...

You will have to tell me exactly how to set that up. build.prop, terinal cammands, means nothing to me. If you mean turning on tether in settings, it gets blocked by the carrier.
Installing magisk modules and app that require root is better for average users anyway. And I thought magisk modules was one big advantage of magisk...

Let us know if it works, your phone model and OS.
I am not going to know if it works now mate.
I just contacted Three in the UK
I asked them about my hotspot data as i could no longer see it on their website.
They said you are on AYCE Data i was like ok ???
they said your hotspot and AYCE is combined now and i was like huh?
the person on the other end said you have unlimited Tethering.
I was like OMG gobsmacked as i was i left them a great survey.
So i didnt need this after all but if i do get any phones - i will try this method and i will report back on to this thread. (but highly likely i wont be back for awhile)
I am using a Samsung s8
Did Magisk ever made it on they app that you can install they hotspot. I have a pixel 3. If anybody try it out of it please let me know. The carrier is throttling download speeds by margin. It won't go no more then 650kbps download. But when it's the beginning of the billing cycle I can get 23mbps down. After using 15GB of hotspot it drastically throttles it. Any bypass for this would greatly be appreciated

Have you looked through the thread you're posting in? There's a link just a few posts up with commands used for enabling tethering. The prop you can set with MagiskHide Props Config and the "settings put" command you should only have to enter in terminal once (if I remember correctly).

So I am strongly considering the Moto X not that Verizon has Moto Maker and the 32GB verizon. The one thing I love on my current phone running CM10.2 is the ability to tether my laptop to it for internet access without getting charged extra by verizon while I travel. Usually in a monthly billing cycle when traveling with work I'll consume about 20GBs of data. Can I do this with the Moto X without getting charged tether fees? Do I need to root it to do this?
FYI: I'm i'm on an unlimited plan
If you root with RockMyMoto, yes..
For using Wifi Tether for Root app, see -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449534 You MUST use the specific version now linked in the first post, or it wont work.... In other words, do NOT get the version from the Play store. (I'm using this way with my Rooted X, also unlimited plan)
To use the built in tethering app see -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2443562 (I haven't tried it, but there are many reports in that thread of it working).
If you don't want to root, then you could try Foxfi. Not sure if it works, I've never used it.
I have always used THIS, on multiple phones. I'm on the 3.3 beta 2 and it works fine. Go into settings, and make sure the device profile is Generic ICS/JB (wlan0), and check the WiFi driver reload, MSS clamping, and Routing fix options.

For some reason I couldn't get that version to work on my Verizon X. While the PC and tablet saw the X, it saw it as WLAN0, and never properly connected to the phone.
The thread I linked to has a patched version that works properly for me, including seeing the "hot spot" as the SSID I set on the phone, and letting the PC and tablet connect to the phone and get to the internet.
The x is awesome for one. All u gotta do is root and follow the thread to use built In tethering appreciate. Works great. Or better yet flash Nitro's eclipse ROM. Its all done and its a great rom

I did notice the wlan0 where on the other device I had u could change it or use the ssid, but my tab and others will connect? The initial connection always funks up, usually just have to cycle WiFi from the device and cycle tether too. U try reboot, fix perms, and cache/dalvik wipes? Haven't tried modifying that system apk, heard about some issues and this never gives much, if any.

I tried everything. Yes.
I liked the way wifi tether worked on my past phones. Using the patched copy found in this thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449534 , which is also needed for the GNex w/4.2, works just like it did on my Bionic, Thunderbolt, and other past phones. No issues. After initial config and allowing SU, just launch the app, tap to start tethering, go to my PC, Tablets, etc.. and connect and go.
The APK is originally from https://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=1661#c109 however, I just noticed lower down in that discussion a patch was added to the experimental 3.4 ( https://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=1661#c197 ) so I might try that.
I don't feel the need to mess with those system files to use the phone's built in tethering app. I don't have to. I only offered that because some were using it since Wifi Tether for Root wasn't working.

editig one cell in the system settings to get the built-in hotspot app to work is hardly messing with the system files. i've done this on my last three phones and they've all worked flawlessly. plus the built-in app has decent security features.

I know you read the one thread I posted a link to as you asked about doing the SQL edit, and posted a screen shot from your D4.. Its OP talks about replacing a bunch of APK files which are system files...
In Post #24 of that thread, thepolishguy the SQL tweak doesn't work.
... hence my saying I didn't want to mess with a bunch of system files.
Not to mention, side loading an APK and using it is easier. It might not be "cleaner" or seem as "integrated" but it works.
Awesome thanks everyone. I defintely plan on rooting my phone and installed xposed.
Searched around the forums and couldnt seem to find an answer or it turns into a foxfi/pda+ help thread. Wondering if anyone knows how to or point me in the right direction.
So I have a XT1060 (VZW DevEd) Rooted running Stock 4.4.2
My question is. Is there any way to activate Wifi tether without a custom kernal or rom?
Tried Wifi Tether 3.4 Experimental APK (some people have claimed around the net that it works) but nothing happens or atleast it seems like nothing happens since my laptop cannot find the wifi. (maybe someone here knows how?)
Even tried turning on Tether Freedom through XYZ Toolbox (supposed to remove tether restrictions) and starting Wifi Tether, same thing.
Dont want to use native app with XYZ, when i tried it My Verizon Mobile asked for SU access and i denied it, kinds weird, dont want that to pop up again.
Also have read that X Tether Module works, but it replaces entitlements, will they go back to normal when i stop the module or does it change it for good? And will Verizon ask for SU access?
also dont mind spending a dollar or 2 if one works from the Play store.
Thanks in advance. Hopefully this will help others with this question as well.
The my Verizon app does ask for root just deny it access..this happened with the last update to the app
X tether module will need xposed framework and as far as I know it only makes the hooks when called for

Thank you. You are correct. :highfive:
Went back to XYZ, Turned on Tether Freedom, Retried turning on Wifi Tether thru native and worked like a charm. No permission request to access SU from Verizon anymore. So just need to deny it the first time.
To tether on my rooted VZW Dev X I do the following...
Use the wifi_tether_v3_4-experimental1.apk from https://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
change device profile to galaxy nexus (cdma/lte)
check box: wifi-driver reload
check box: enabled routing fix
If you have troubles, its also suggested to...
check box: wifi-driver reload 2
Doing this, I can set the SSID and WPA key. And it doesn't touch any system files or anything, so it is one less thing to get in the way of taking future OTA updates.
Or Try this way -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/themes-apps/native-tether-vzw-4-4-t2536166
Or some use the Xposed module.
I looked around and did not see this. Now that the phone is opened up, if there an easy way to just enable the wireless tether?
I've had WiFi tethering since I bought the phone right after it came out, I'm not sure why others don't have the option. I found it in Settings -> More -> Tethering & Mobile Hotspot. I've had this on KK 4.4.4 as well as LP 5.1. Is it because it's only available with non grandfathered unlimited data devices (I think they got rid of that recently too)?
Unlimited can tether the same way, but we have to pay $20 a month. Xposed module xtether seems to work. It let me turn tether on without the message that I need to upgrade. Did not connect and test it yet.

Just flash CF's 1.1A ROM..it has wireless tether enabled where you can turn on in the stock app. No need for a separate xposed app.

Heh, ok. I've got their UNLIMITED TALK & TEXT 2GB plan 75$ and it incudes hotspot/tethering.
Anyone care to share what to edit to get WiFi tethering? Flashing a different ROM is not really what I wanna do right now, would like to just do it on my newly unlocked stock rom Turbo

Install xposed, look for xtether, I've used it all day and 0 issues.
Alternatively, I think you can add the following line to /system/build.prop:
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true

So I need a little help please. I have my phone unlocked, rooted, twrp installed, made a backup, and now SU updated from reading on here. I have a UDP and want my wifi tether to work without installing custom roms. I'm happy at this point with what stock does. I'm not the greatest with this, but I am not afraid to read. So to my problem. I'm stuck with the xpose thing. I just don't see or get what needs to be done to install it. I read I need to flash something first? But i'm not sure why. I looked a little at just adding the line in the build file but was not sure if that would still work or if that was old news. Please someone point in the right direction.
Thanks.

Use a file manager with root capabilities such as solid explorer, amaze file manager or whatever to edit the build.prop file. It's in /system/. Add 'net.tethering.noprovisioning=true' without quotes and reboot. Tethering within the settings app should now work.
Thanks for the reply. I added it at the end of the file. Rebooted and turned the tether on. no messages. I think I'm good to go. Again Thanks for the help.
Thanks for the tip on the build prop edit. I've been trying to figure out how to do this for a bit now. Just to confirm, this method will work on the latest version of 5.1 so long as I'm rooted and unlocked, correct?
It has worked great for me. I do not load in ROM'S or make a lot of other changes to my phone. Paying the 25.00 is just math for me. I was giving 30.00 a month to Verizon to pay for tethering. Now I don't. So in 1 month I come out ahead. You need your boot loader unlocked, and will need to pay for that 1 time.
Will this tether-unlock be "visible" to VZ and cause me issues under my unlimited plan? (I presume by smooth's reply that he hasn't had this problem, but I want to be sure)
I have created a magisk module which enables tethering on phones where it's been disabled by the manufacturer/provider. Please post here if you have a tethering-disabled phone and can test the attached module. It should only work if the tethering has been locked down by your phone manufacturer, it will probably not help you if your provider is blocking tethering.
There are two zip files attached to this thread:
TetheringEnabler.zip -- is magisk v6 compatible.
Tethering_Enabler-10.0.0.zip -- is magisk v10 (and later) compatible.
Please post back if you have a phone with tethering disabled and it helps you, I will then push to have it listed in the official repo. I have no tethering-locked phone so I can't test it myself.
Thanks!

But looking at that one made me realize it doesn't have to be a propmodule (as it doesn't change the system/ro prop), it can be done in post-fs-data so I now switched to that.
My phone (LG v10, T-Mobile) has tethering enabled, but all tethering must be approved by T-Mo when turning it on. I'm running modded stock firmware. Can this module help bypass my carrier's tethering check? If not, what can? I've tried using 3rd-party tethering apps, but when they turn on native tethering, it triggers the check. So far my carrier has detected all my attempts, even when running CM13. I am SIM-unlocked and my phone was bought from a T-Mo store, but currently my carrier is MetroPCS.
Thanks!

I don't think this one would work for you -- it's only to enable tethering on the phone, I don't think it could help you bypass carrier's check. Maybe others will chime in on what can help you with that.
@stangri: Thanks for the info. MetroPCS is owned by T-Mo, similar service quality, but almost 50% cheaper for essentially the same unlimited data. From what I've read, Metro's tethering policies are more strict than T-Mo's, it's basically allowed if you dont get caught. They'll tolerate a small amount, for light stuff like Web-browsing, but after that you'll get a notification. Metro cant control my tethering functionality, since it's built-in, but they can use T-Mo's servers for checking.

I am on Cricket using my stock Nexus 6. Never looked into tethering before as Cricket restricts it unless you are on one of their higher plans and pay $10 a month extra. Previously enabling tethering would trigger a subscription check. On a whim, I decided to try this module and sure enough I can tether without issue to my tablet and Chromebook. Anyway, just wanted to note that in this case it has actually allowed me to bypass carrier restrictions. Cheers!

Great work! I have it running on Pixels and 5X, all working great. They were downloaded from the repo and all is well. Thank you for sharing this module.
This is an update of this module, which hasn't been updated since Magisk v10. Additionally, I've disabled connection to the dun APN, making it appear as normal data. I'm intending to add TTL fixing in my next update.
Hi,
Okay, so I downloaded it and went into Magisk 19.3 >> Modules >> + >> Browse
I went to it, tapped on the Zip and it just showed me what was in the Zip. It didn't grab it to install it like it normally does.
Am I doing something wrong?

Make sure that you click the ZIP and click the button that says "Select" that should be at the top. That's my experience with Q on a Pixel 2 at least, but it's worth trying.

Thank you for your response. Once I tap the file, it immediately shows me what's in it, like if you were using a Zip tool and selected "Open" instead of "Extract". I know I'm not supposed to extract it. I'm just relating an example of what I see happen.
I used (I believe it's called "Documents" for some weird reason) Android's built in file selector, like when you're granting access to your Ext SD. That one.

Hi,
Okay, I got it installed. Long-Tap, then tap "Open".
But I didn't even bother to ask how to use it. It doesn't install an app, which is how I'm used to, um, "make it look otherwise".
Is it found in my phones' Settings?
Am I safe in assuming it'll work with my;
LG V20 (H910A) -- Android Nougat 7.0
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I can follow instructions, no problem.
Thx!

FYI,
Aftering installing the Module, in my phone's…
SETTINGS >> TETHERING
… it is now as follows;
USB Tethering = Grayed Out
Mobile HotSpot = Off (can be enabled)
BlueTooth Tethering (can be enabled)
Thx

So it did finally install? If so, it should be working. USB Tethering works when you have your phone connected to a PC with a USB cable.

Yes, I did get it installed (see previous message), thank you.
Also, just FYI, I do understand about BT & USB. But I never use those for Tethering. What I'm used to doing (with an app) is to run the app and then it uses the phone's WiFi, but makes it like a Router and broadcasts out an SSID and others see that and using the Password that I set in the app, others can connect to my phone to use the Internet.
Would that still be considered "Tethering"? Or would that fall under "Mobile HotSpot"?
If the latter, then I assume that I would just go into my phone's Settings and Enable it?
If that's the case, did I read correctly that your Module makes it look like Mobile Data to the Carrier instead of Tethering/HotSpot?
Thx!

Tethering and Mobile Hotspot are essentially the same, and yes, you should be able to use the one in Settings for that. And yes, it should hide it from the carrier unless they are doing checks on the TTL, which is what I'm working on next.
Hi,
Okay, so theoretically, I just go into my Settings and Enable "Mobile HotSpot" and my phone will become a connection for others to connect to via their WiFi?
Assuming yes, but how would they know what SSID to look for and what Password to use?
I.e., all I see is a switch to turn "Mobile HotSpot" on. I don't see anywhere to set those things up and I certainly don't want to be wide open for anyone to connect.
Thank you for all your help! It really is very much appreciated! And just FYI, I have understood everything you've said so far.
Thx!

If you click on Mobile Hotspot (not just the toggle) it should take you to a menu where you can configure the SSID and password.

Way Cool, dude!
I'll try it tonight when my wife gets home, or in the morning and let you know how it goes.
Is there any way to confirm it's being seen as Mobile Data by my Carrier?
Let me explain that it's not that my Carrier doesn't allow Tethering. They just limit it to a small amount and then you have to pay for "X" amount (plans).
So as you can tell, I obviously don't want the Tethering I do to be seen as Tethering.
Thx

I'm not going to personally confirm whether it'll be seen as mobile data or tethering, as some carriers do nasty tricks such as checking the TTL of packets to see whether or not it's tethered, but for most carriers, it should work fine.

Okay, thanks. And you said your next update deals with that, right?

It should, though I'm not sure how long that'll take. It requires a kernel module as far as I can tell, and there are solutions for some devices out there already. However, this is very dependent on the kernel installed, and Android doesn't have a system like DKMS. So I'm looking for a solution to that.

I'm able to tether with this, but I have no internet access. I also noticed that if I USB tether I get no internet access. Would this be an example of the carrier doing tricks to prevent it? FWIW I'm running a moto G6 on consumer cellular (which makes use of at&t's network).
I have installed this lastest module, I can bypass carrier lock and device can connect but no Internet. If I look at the device I am hotspotting from it shows 0 devices connect. I am running a rooted Pixel XL with 9.0 pixel dust rom and Magisk 19.3

what is your current phone's kernel that run the module successfully? would it works on LOS kernel?
and does your internet phone works normally while another device use the tethering from it, too?

That's not the carrier doing anything weird. That's just your phone being weird afaict.

EX Kernel includes the patches for it, and if there's enough interest, I can upload a build that enables it on EX Kernel only for the moment. And yes, my phone's internet works fine while another device is tethering. Your phone is essentially acting as a router when tethering.

Ah, thanks for offering. But I'm not on mood to change any crucial things nowadays, such kernel .
Do you think the module will works on LOS kernel?

No, it won't "just work" on the LOS kernel. Tell them to include the module "xt_HL.ko" for all devices (the kernel module for the iptables mangle table) and it will. Until they do or I find a generic way to get it working, EX is the only kernel I can reasonably support.
