Root [Virgin Mobile/Sprint] WiFi Hotspot

Above methods didnt work for me.

Sprint Hotspot native hotspot bypass (no root needed)

1.Open your Dialer App
3845#*720#

2.Scroll down to IOT(CSG2)

3.Enter CDMA Setting

4.Data Setting

5.DUN NAI

6.Extend Modem YES/NO


I modified my modem extension and toggled it to NO and it bypasses the Hotspot Prompt. Turning on Native hotspot then activates with no issues.

Note**
Issue with connecting to 4G/LTE unless you change the modem extension back. Otherwise its very handy to finally have non-rooted native hotspot.

Working on:
Sprint Network
Jelly bean 4.1.2
Build JZO54K

Finally Enjoy a effortless Tether!
Happy Holidays

(In addition I have not browsed the web if this was discovered by anyone else. But if you can proof a earlier post or a improved 3G/4G tether please keep the thread updated.)

THIS METHOD WORKS 100% NO NEED TO ROOT OR FLASH ANY ROM! instead type 5689#*720# into dialer. Thanks raptor!
