[MetroPCS] [Tether] Simple tether script for root users

    I wrote two simple scripts for tethering on our LG F6. "tether.sh" will start the tether, while "untether.sh" will stop it. Both need to be run by root.

    You need to modify tether.sh and add your own SSID and password.

    I recommend the "script manager" to manage and fast access the scripts.

    It is definitely not as powerful as other GUI apps, but the scripts are simple and flexible enough so you can play with it, add or remove whatever stuff. Enjoy:D

    Is this for Metro tether or non-metro tether? Does it work with CM11?

    I'm tethering on T-mobile and stock ROM. Never tested it on CM11, maybe you can try it for us.

    Sorry I don't know if useragent needs to be changed on windows. I only tested with a linux machine and it works.

    Why not take a minute and run the scripts, and tell us what happened? :D

    So when you tether with this method T-Mobile doesn't know? I will test it on Angablade's CM11 V9 Rom and let you know what happens...

    Does not work on Angablade's CM11 V9 Rom.

    "Error connecting (Permission Denied)"
    "Failed to connect to hostapd - wpa_ctrl_open: Permission Denied"

    Ran as root. Anyone else tried this on CM11?

    Why don't you run the commands in tether.sh line by line in adb or smanager, then tell me which line cause such error?

    If you are running tether.sh as a whole, do with with
    . This is because of the "noexec/nosuid" property on sdcard partition.

    F6 running b12 on MetroPCS. I can connect to the AP but no internet access. Screenshot attached. I receive the same ERROR when running the script in terminal as root.

    You can connect to the AP, good. The last "Fail" is irrelevant.
    Can you ping 192.168.43.41 on your computer? If yes, how about 8.8.8.8?
    What is the ip address assigned to your computer?

    I also need the output of the follow commands for diagnostics(run them one by one as root in sManager):
    1). ip r show
    2). ip rule show
    3). iptables -S

    Everything appears fine on android side. I suspect something is wrong in the routing table of windows.

    What is the result of cmd "route print" on windows?

    Just a thought, is there any way creating a new apn could bypass the tethering 'lock out' from the mpcs servers?

    Thank You for the scripts and assistance. I went ahead and flashed the KitKat ROM by hroark13 and figured out how to bypass tether restrictions on that ROM.

    These steps may help MetroPCS & T-Mobile users who use your scripts:

    Can you find any new hotspot on your computer? Try to connect it if anything come out.

    I'm currently on CarbonROM now, and I only tested my scripts on stock 4.1.2 . So I can not help much.
