Enabling hotspot on H810 with non-AT&T simcard

I am on the T-Mobile network, and recently traded my bricked Zenfone for the H810. After unlocking the cellular network on the H810, I noticed that the tether feature was not working. When switching on the hotspot, a toast pops up that says "Authorizing..." then says it is unable to connect, due to a network issue. This happens for both 5.1 and 6.0. Don't put that G4 on craigslist just yet- there is a solution. It's actually quite a simple fix, however it requires root privileges.


(After Rooting; as of currently, this is limited to android 5.1)
1) Install SQLite Editor
2) Open the app, grant root permissions, then navigate to the "Files" tab.
3) From the root directory, you will want to tap the "data" folder. Tap the next "data" folder. Scroll down and tap the "com.android.providers.settings" folder. Tap the "databases" folder, then tap the "settings.db" file. ("/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db")
4) From this screen, tap the "system"
5) From here, we are looking for the "tether_entitlement_check_status". Tap this to edit the value column to read "0".
6) Voila! You can now use the tethering feature with other carriers.


The only downside to this, is that since 6.0 has yet to obtain root, you will be limited to using 5.1. :eek:

I hope this helps somebody out. :victory:
