4. Thanks. It worked.

5. I have the same problem

6. Thank you my friend. Works like a charm (y)

7. I have that and it still does not work.

8. It works on software version 39A or lower only.

9. I am now on 5.0.2. Software version VS9803AA and tried this but does not work. Any ideas?

10. operation failed! error during the rename creating old file backup …plz any body help

11. excelent my bro… I from ecuador and here there is not verizon services.. Now I can share my mobile network.. thanks

12. @phillepehdsun:disqus I think I changed the permissions on the original files. I had them as rw-r-r (0644) how should they apper?

13. @phillepehdsun:disqus ok so I bought the full version of root explorer. I went to the system/app/hotprovision and the two item dont always show up. When they do show up they’re renamed just how they appear in the tutorial. So I copy the downloaded file and paste it in the appropriate location, Then I reboot and the file that I transferred got deleted. I dont know what to do know. I follow the instructions step my step.

14. Okay friends, I used ROOT EXPLORER, and it has to be THE PAID ONE. You have to pay the three dollars or it will not work properly. so on 4.4.2, you have to download the mirror link. They are two different ones and the first link did not work. You download the mirror link. You DO NOT open this!! after it is successfully downloaded and you have renamed those two things under system/app under the “root” menu which is top left of root explorer, you go back into root explorer,select storage towards the top right of your screen.scroll down to downloads. Its all in alphabetical order. long press the hotspotprovisonhack2.apg and rename it to hotspotprovisioin.apg. Now if you are not on 4.4.2 you shouldnt have to worry about renaming it as it should already be named that. Now, Long press it, select copy, navigate back to the system/app folder by selecting root from the top left menu of explorer, select system, then app. all in alphabetical order in the menu just like when you renamed the two files. in the bottom left of the screen you should see “Copy Here” Now find where it was copied which should be easy cuz its alphabetical. Long press that, and make sure permissions are check correctly. You will have to deselect two of them which are group, write and others write. hit okay, back out of it all to your homescreen, reboot your phone. Now go to your mobile hotspot under settings, mobile teathering and networks, and enable it. It should work! But remember, get the paid app and on 4.4.2 for sure you have to download the MIRROR version of the Hotspotprovision.apk. So it would not surprise me that on the other android versions you would need to try the mirror one as well. Hope this helps someone!!

15. did you use the paid version of Root Explorer?? It’s 3 bucks and you have to use that one.

24. Works for D80030f? AT&T version?

25. Thank you for the tutorial.
    Great work.

26. thanks dear awesome work

27. Tanks

28. Hi,
    Thanks for this tutorial, it works great but I have a problem after setting a passkey for the hotspot and saving it, the hotspot appears with no protection at all and anybody could connect to it…
    Please if you know any solution for this issue to hslp me with,thanks.

29. Hi,
    Thsnks for this tutorial, it works great but I have a problem after setting a passkey for the hotspot and saving it, the hotspot appears with no protection at all and anybody could connect to it…
    Please if you know any solution for this issue to hslp me with,thanks.

30. Hi Charlie, the method works fine on Lollipop. I don’t think the steps need to be updated.

31. if that works then he needs to update the instructions so we know that

32. Glad to know you made it work, Bruce!

33. I’m mistaken. It is working correctly, just taking a little longer than I expected to start up. The .apk file in the HotSpotProvisioning folder is where it is and working. Thanks again! You guys are awesome!

34. I’ve installed the new Lollipop version and the installation is slightly difference from KitKat. The two files being replaced by this new hack apk are in different folders. Instead of both of them being in the system/apps folder, there is a HotspotProvision folder under that where the .apk file is and an arm sub-folder under that where the .odex file is. I’ve appended both existing files with .bak and have tried putting the hack .apk in both the system/apps folder and system/apps/HotspotProvision but neither way works. It doesn’t enable; the active icon isn’t in the notification bar; and the On/Off button doesn’t stay On (if you revisit the setting it is Off). Any ideas?

    Thanks for making this available. I am sure it’s something I am doing wrong.

    Cheers!

35. Great! 🙂

36. I found it last night and was going to post it here for you.

37. @ Ben & Charlie

    We finally have the modded WiFi Hotspot Provision app that works on Lollipop (39A) firmware. The tutorial has been updated. Please check!

38. Hey guys, good news! I am adding the new modded HotspotProvision apk for Lollipop (39A firmware). Just 5 minutes.

39. Unfortunately, there’ no working mod at the moment. 🙂

40. me too

41. I’m wondering the same….

42. Is there any working method for android lolipo 5.0.2 . i am on 39A

43. Follow these steps
    1) first install busy box
    2)install stump root nd root your phone using stump root
    3)then follow above mentioned procedure .

44. What happened?

45. Got it ty

46. damn it…. I renamed the files back and rebooted and make sure it was back to normal. Then did it all over again and still not working.

47. yes, I will try from scratch

48. If it still doesn’t work, start from scratch.

49. Did you try fixing the file permissions and rebooting the phone?

50. Now I get Unfortunately, com.lge.mobilehotspot.ui has stopped. after I clean the app data

51. Install BusyBox app from the Play store, open app and tap install option. Then reboot the phone and try renaming again.

52. Have you fixed the file permissions correctly. Check it again. Also try clearing app data for the Hotspot app from Settings> Applications.

53. I now have 24A as I redid my phone to stock with files. But I am still getting Unfortunately, Provision has stopped.

54. When I try to rename the files with the .bak it says operation failed…

55. You’ll have to wait until a workaround is available.

56. I have 27A and can’t get it to work. Is there a workaround for this?

57. Hey i just switched from Verizon to Straight Talk on my LG G2. All of this worked but my PC is unable to connect to my Hotspot. I enter the password and everything but then it just says “unable to connect”

58. Great! Thanks for sharing your experience!

59. Will done the new hack is doing perfect thanksssss…..

60. Man, I didn’t even see this one. ha ha thanks!

61. Look below, i posted that for you…

    If it still does it, i would put original file back in, reboot. Delete the file you downloaded and redownload. Replace as tutorial says and set permissions. Reboot again and hopefully that will take care of it.

62. Hey guys, I solved it, and Rakesh, I think it’d be great if you added it to the tutorial.

    When you go into the ‘Mobile Hotspot’ application (or you got to ‘Settings’, ‘Tethering & networks’, ‘Mobile Hotspot’), you click the menu button and it shows ‘Advanced’ at the bottom. Click on that, the go to ‘Power Management’, and switch it from ’10 min of inactivity’ to ‘Never turns off’.

    I think my phone didn’t see my computer working (even though it showed up as ‘connected to one device’), and would turn itself off.

63. Yeah, those are the same as mine. Hmm I wonder what the difference is on mine. Maybe if I get bored one day, I’ll do a factory reset on it and see if that helps.

    Thanks again for the help guys.

64. Here are my settings, same as the tutorial.

65. Mine are all set to rw-r–r– 0644. Nothing checked for special permissions. Is that where you have yours?

66. Open the Mobil hotspot app and hit your menu button. Go to advanced settings and you’ll see the power settings, it’s defaulted to 10 minutes. Change it to your liking.

67. Make sure your permissions are set correctly on the apk. I know mine will shut down the data transfer after a while of not using the connected device, but i can just go in and turn it back on with no issues.

68. When id o wireless hotspot, after about 10-15min, it stops working and transmitting data. Then if I go into settings to turn it back on, it wont until I restart the phone.

    Does anyone else get this on their VZW LG G2?

69. Good deal!

    Just remember when an update comes in, you need to put the original file back and i always reboot. Then install update and reboot, then put the patch file back in and check permissions and reboot again. I haven’t had any problems with this process yet.

    Glad you got it working!

70. Thanks, I have replaced the mirror links.

71. Never mind. I got it working. I started from scratch and used the regular link this time. I used the mirror the first time.

    Awesome write up! Thanks!

72. It’s not working for me with 27A.

    Did you do anything special?

73. Great,. Thanks for sharing the info!

74. I am running 27A and it is working.

    I just installed the newest push from Verizon a few minutes ago and the hotspot works.

75. Hi, it doesn’t work on new firmwares. We would update the tutorial when the new version of the modded hotspot provision app arrives.

76. This doesnt work, just force closes when i try to turn on mobile hotspot, running the latest ota, 27A, any ideas?

77. Nope.

78. Rakesh any procedure available for non-root device, coz i dont want to root my device.
    thanks

79. You are welcome! Thanks for sharing your feedback.

80. You saved my life Rakesh, it worked super. I recently bought this mobile and i was very worried ’cause hotspot feature didn’t working and I really need to share my internet conection with my other devices. Thanks man 😀

81. Thanks for sharing the info.

82. Just a FYI, I got sick of the daily reminder. I put the stock .apk hotspot files back in place, rebooted and updated.

    Upon reboot, install was successful, still had root. I then put the modded hotspot.apk file in and rebooted. Works like before.

83. Thanks, man. It works very well for me. I aprecciate!!

84. Glad to know, Ray! Keep visiting!

85. Rakesh,
    I’m an idiot! I accidentally backed up and deleted the mobilehotspot app in Titanium Backup. Fortunately I backed it up. I reinstalled it and everything is working great. Thank you so much for your help. You are the man!

86. I fix the permissions on the renamed file that I downloaded, and dropped in the system/app folder, right?

87. By the way, since I have 4.4.2 I downloaded “hotspotprovisionnewhack.apk”, renamed it, dropped it in the system/app folder, fixed permissions, and then did the reboot. But after reboot the app was missing. Thank you for your patience.

88. You have made some mistake. Have you fixed the permissions correctly. Open system/app and check if the permissions look like how you set them?

89. Got it. I did everything you said. However, when I did the reboot the mobilehotspot app is missing now. How do I get it back.

90. They are system apps so you cannot install them normally. You need to push the apk and odex files to system/app directory using Root Browser and then set/fix the file permissions to rw-r–r– (0644).
    Copy the files to your phone. Open root browser and copy the files. Then paste them to system/app folder.

91. I accidentally erased the hotprovision.apk and hotprovision.odex file. I downloaded your zip file above, extracted it, but was unable to install. Could you please give me the steps following the extraction? Thank you

92. Thanks for the quick reply. It started trying to install earlier in the week.

    I’ll wait and see.

93. Hi Ben, I won’t suggest you to go with the new update as it brings changes to the Hotspot app. I am afraid you won’t be able to enjoy tether after receiving the OTA. Wait for some days till it’s confirmed working on the new build. Cheers!

94. Thanks this worked great for my LG G2 using 4.4.2.

95. Thanks for the info, Paul. I just removed the corrupted Apk.

96. Thanks Paul, I’ll check it. 🙂

97. FYI – I was also having this problem with the KitKat 4.4.2 hotspot apk linked in the article above. I switched to trying the apk in the mirror and it’s now working for me. Rakesh, perhaps your main apk linked to is corrupted? They are different file sizes…

98. Here’s the new mod for the LG G3. The G2 apk works but the user has to reconfigure settings after each reboot. Can you check that and confirm?

99. I just followed these steps on my Verizon G3 and it’s working.

100. I have LG VS980 verizon 4.4.2, my carrier MetroPCS, modem 24a, but I can’t use this hotspot more than 1 week!?! After this time it suddenly doesn’t work. But internet on the phone still works. What wrong was I doing? I tried 3 times to return my phone to factory rom, after that it works, but only 5-7 days. Could anybody help me?

101. Install and setup Busybox (from Play Store) on the device and try again. It works great, tested many times!

102. Does not work “Unfortunately, Provision has stopped.” Followed every step. Used towelroot. Don’t know if that matters.

103. No, it won’t.

104. It worked great using it now! Thanks.. Just wondering will carrier know?

105. Glad to know, sir! Keep visiting!

106. My phone has unlimited data [still], my sons doesn’t, I’ve been pulling what little hair I have left out, trying to get past Verizon’s BS, so that when we are out somewhere together he can tether to my phone and not have to worry about going over his limit. This worked great! Thank you so much!

107. No, it’ll not work on G3 but I am sure, there’ll be some other tethering hack for the device after a month of G3’s release.

108. I’m waiting for the release of the Verizon LG G3 since it’s just a few weeks away. Do you know if this will also work for that phone?

109. Glad to know you made it! 🙂

110. thank you very much! it was simple to do and it worked !

111. Rakesh
     Thanks anyway,I will try it again 😀

112. Hey Joe, it really sounds weird why you are not getting Paste option. I would suggest you to try Root Explorer. Just copy that apk to system/app and fix the file permissions.

113. dear Rakesh,
     First,I would like to thank you for your help ! but still unable to paste it to the app folder ! I did downloaded the apk on ES file Explorer,i copy it,I can see paste option on the bottom,I click home bottom go back and open Root Browser,System then App,I hold it on App the box comes up as picture i posted earlier ! I don’t know what I did it wrong !
     I am using Android 4.4.2

114. You’re doing something wrong.

     Do this: tap and hold the modified

     HotspotProvision.apk, Select Copy, then you should see paste option on the bottom. Do not touch that and tap the UP Arrow or Home icon from the bottom bar, navigate to system/app folder (you have to open “app” folder. Then tap the Paste button.

115. Root Browser

116. I opened Root Explorer / System / App I rename those name,I copy that apk
     go back to App and hold it try to paste on it,but just come up like this as picture ??

117. see this: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/84115590/Screenshot_2014-06-19-22-12-29.png

118. Okay. When you tap and hold a file and select copy, the past option appears at the bottom of the screen.

119. When I hold on app it does not have option “paste” ??

120. Developer: JRummy Apps Inc

121. Which root file explorer app are you using?

122. me to
     🙁

123. i downloaded the hotspotprovisionnewhack.apk but there is no paste option to the system/app ?

124. No, you don’t to downgrade. I assumed you have KK. Try this method for 4.2.2: http://www.droidviews.com/root-and-install-twrp-recovery-on-lg-g2-verizon-att-sprintt-mobile-bell-rogers/

125. Thanks Rakesh! I have 4.2.2 – do i need to upgrade to 4.4.2? Also, if i do upgrade, what will happen to my phone if i install twrp from the link you’ve sent me- do i need to unroot to upgrade? Thanks so much for your help 🙂 -pooja

126. Try this: http://www.droidviews.com/install-twrp-recovery-on-lg-g2-running-android-4-4-2-kitkat/

127. im a noob with a problem unrelated to wifi tether and was hoping someone can help ! I cant seem to install TWRP on my phone ( using the loki method) so i can install some roms:) I seem to be doing something incorrectly ( i think it has to do when when i attempt to flash the .img file, but i cant be sure) and i cant figure it out. If anyone can take some time out to help, i would really appreciate it so much!

128. thank you! this did the trick!

129. I tried everything above but can’t figure how to download then copy and paste the new file into the system/app folder?

     I’m using ROM Browser and can’t figure out how to copy and then paste it in??

     Please help!

130. Hi everyone. Long time lurker, first time poster.

     I am beyond frustrated. I installed the hotspot fix for jelly bean 4.2. My LG G2 has constantly been trying to update; so I thought it would be a good idea to delete the hotspot provision so that I could update.

     I screwed up somewhere and now the mobile hotspot is gone and the “updater” is gone as well. I downloaded the “stock” mobilehotspot.odex and the “mobileupdateclient.apk” installed them to phone, set the permissions, and rebooted the phone.

     However, on reboot the mobile hotspot app is not showing up and the phone will not try to update when I go to “about phone” and “software.”

     I installed TWRP to flash back to stock, but I can’t even get that to work, I just get the android guy with the triangle and exlamation point.

     Any input but would be GREATLY appreciated.

     Cheers to a great community.

131. New HotspotProvision hack for KitKat is available now.

132. Thanks for the info. I have added it on the post. 🙂

133. Have wifi working now. Go to xda developers and download newest fix for wifi tethering. Page 26. Thanks..

134. I was able to restore the mobile hotspot by going to the lg website and downloaded the lg mobile support tool. I reloaded the kitkat os and I now have the mobile hotspot back. No wifi yet.

135. I also deleted some stock apps and would appreciate a download as well! Thanks!

136. Here’s the link: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/84115590/MobileHotspotVZW.zip

137. Great instructions. However I accidentally deleted the stock hotspot provision apk and odex files. Can you steer me in the right direction to get these files? thanks.

138. Thanks for the reply. This worked great before I updated to KitKat. The only mistake I made was not setting correct permissions. I have corrected permissions, rebooted and still unable to get working. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

139. The method still works, even on the new KitKat. e have got confirmation from some users. You might have made some mistake.

140. I get same error.

141. Thanks for confirming!

142. Verizon LGG2. I updated OTA to 4.4 this morning, installed drivers (I had to youtube how to do this), then rooted using iRoot25, then used the same HotspotProvision.apk instructed above. Worked flawlessly even after the KitKat update! Thanks!

143. Email sent, thanks Jim!

144. Joe, email me and i’ll send you a link to download mine from JB that i saved. [email protected]

145. Thanks for the Reply Rakesh. I tried the original APK and I get an error “Unfortunately Provision has stopped” when I go to enable Hotspot.

146. Rakesh – I accidentally deleted my mobile hot spot apk and odex mis reading another thread on how to get prepared for the KitKat OTA. Right now all I can find is an apk that is not showing up in my app tray or system apps, so i essentially have no mobile hot spot app (or hot spot provision) so I can’t take the OTA. Any idea how to get the stock apks and odex so I can take the OTA? Been searching all day

147. Have you tried the old HotSpot provision apk?

148. We’ll update when a working method for KitKat is available!

149. I just got my 4.4.2 KitKat OTA and found that this will not work now. Any chance of a new build for KK?

150. Does not work with Verizion 4.4.2

151. Rebooting my phone seems to have fixed the issue.

152. Try it with some other device, may be some Android device or laptop to verify if it works. You can also try rebooting your devices.

153. Well I thought it was. It shows that my mobile hot spot is on and that my iPad is connected to it, however my ipad says there is no internet connection.

154. Glad to know it helped!

155. Thank you. I couldn’t get anything else to work with my rooted LG G2, but this did. However as you stated I had to use Root Browser instead of Explorer. However the ability to use Wifi tethering was the reason I rooted my phone, so now I am able to.

156. Replied on G+.

157. I have downloaded the app file, followed the instructions but I don’t see the Hotspot Provision app in the app drawer.

158. Download from here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/anmku7s4pc9bq33/HotspotProvision.apk

159. Seems you have clicked an ad. Wait, I am going to add a mirror

160. I’ve clicked on the link for Hotspot Provision but it only downloads Mobogenie.

161. Glad to know, Anthony! Keep visiting and sharing our articles. Thanks!

162. Hey man idunno how but it works fine know thanks for all the help i really do appreciate

163. Back to default

164. I tried when i enter the mcc 310 it resets

165. APN settings for VZW.

     Verizon Wireless 4G LTE APN Settings & Verizon MMS Settings for Android phones:

     Here are the steps to follow:

     Open the Settings.

     Select Wireless & Networks.

     Select Mobile Networks.

     Select Access Point Names.

     Tap the three dots (or More..) at the bottom right and select New APN.

     Now enter the information for each field from the list of Verizon APN settings shown below.

     Name-Verizon
     APN-internet or vzwinternet
     Proxy-blank
     Port-blank
     Username-blank

     MCC-310
     MNC-012
     Authentication type-not set
     APN -Typeinternet + mms

166. Hey ive reset and it got closer to connecting. But it asked for a proxy which i have not seen befor so im suck and frustrated but thanks for ur time

167. You can also try rebooting the device a couple of times.

168. No, it’ll not unroot the device.

169. I did it earlier today but not to be a pain how do i reconfigure or if i did the factory Reset do i do the process again

170. Try reconfiguring the APNs, or try a data factory reset. ioRoot does not have any bad effect on data connection. When did you root the device?

171. Yeah i belive so

172. You used ioRoot method to root the device?

173. Hi i have rooted my phone and download the provision and all that and so when i go to activate the hotspot it comes on and connects to the device which is a ps3 but im not able too access the internet so if u can help that would be amazing and another since i rooted the phone seems kinda off

174. Glad to know, Ben. Since you have root now, do not forget some more great goodies on your new phone:

175. Thanks so much for the info !!! Just got my G2 yesterday and already rooted and hotspot capable! Great write up and easy to follow directions!

176. You’re welcome, Angel!

177. Sweet, thanks rakesh! I was using just about every other one but just ones I had gotten from the play store, except for that one. But it worked! Can now enjoy mobile Hotspot on my LG g2 with unlimited data plan! You’re the best! I’m back to how when I had my bionic and razr maxx 🙂

178. Which file manager are you using? Use Root Browser instead.

179. Can anybody help me? I have the Verizon g2,am already rooted, DONT have a custom rom, am on Android version 4.2.2, and have tried using various file Explorer to delete the Hotspot apk and 2nd file, already backed them up from system but everytime I try to do the part to delete them, I get a pop-up that says I can’t delete because system is read only -_-
     Also won’t let me just replace that Hotspot apk with the rooted one, anyway to delete?

180. Is there a way to prevent the hot spot from timing out due to inactivity? I have no app in my list of apps as you mention. There is no option in settings for Tethering & Networks > Mobile Hotspot.

181. We have mentioned SD storage not SD card. Just copy the file to your device.

182. I believe my phone does not have a the option for an SD card in that step I’m not sure where to copy and paste those files.

183. Great! Enjoy and keep visiting!

195. Yes. Backup the original HotSpot apk and try the method.

196. My phone is aready rooted, just sprint not verizon. Is root ok?

197. Install root browser on your unrooted phone, go to system/app and look for this file: HotspotProvision.apk

     It it is there, the method will hopefully work for you.

198. Does this work for sprint lg g2? If not, can rooted sprint version get wifi access?

199. Since you have to replace system files, it does require root. Here is our rooting guide: http://www.droidviews.com/root-lg-g2-after-recent-ota-update/

     Root it and then you will be able to get tethering:

200. Doesn’t this require root?

201. Thanks for confirming, sir.

202. Thank you – this worked perfectly!
