I've found a way to get unlimited T-Mobile Hotspot

I was throttled last month after I went over my 7 GB. I also got the 1 GB warning text from T-Mobile others have posted in this thread. As a MSCE and Cisco network engineer, I wasn't going to tolerate being throttled and monitored. Over the last few weeks, I've been using my networking skills to monitor how T-Mobile monitors packets to figure out how data is going to the mobile or if it's being sent over a hotspot. More importantly, I've been working to bypass their monitoring. I'm happy to announce that I've figured out a way around it.

In initial testing, I've been able to use as much data as I want on both a PC and Android tablet without it increasing Hotspot data (T-Mobile thinks the data is still going to the phone and its data increases instead). There are two requirements:

1) You have to be on a T-Mobile Unlimited data package with either 5 GB or 7 GB of hotspot available.
2) You can not currently be over your hotspot limit and throttled
3) You have to use a VPN on the device you're sending data two. I've tested it with two paid VPN services so far (I'm behind both as I post this from a PC).

Things to do:
a) Test with a a free VPN service (doing this later today)
b) Test with crApple products (need to find a friend with a Mac, iPhone, and/or an iPad...over the years I've convinced everyone I know to switch to Android)
c) Make installers for easy use

I expect release this weekend or early next week. I know everyone wants proof, but I can't post images yet (under 10 post count).

PS: Because I've already had a few PM's asking if I needed help testing. No, thank you. I know it works. I'm currently at over 17 GB of hotspot usage without any throttling or warning texts from T-Mobile even though I got them last month and I know my account is being heavily monitored.

Also, when I said I'll be releasing it soon, it'll be a paid product. I haven't decided on a price yet, but since apps like Foxfi Key and WiFi Tether Router no longer work, it'll be more expensive than them.

I've installed CM11 + Gapps 4.4 aroma and stuck at first boot

Hi all, I would just let know (I don't have yet 10 post to write this in the proper section), that this combination failed miserably.. It look like the two packages are compatible but in the end I had an error on the first boot.

I'm just reporting because I won't flash again

Think I've bricked my tablet ):

Ok, so I recently tried to install CM on my Z2 Tablet.

When I tried to restart the device I get nothing but a flashing red light.

If I hold the power button down I sometimes get a short vibrate and if I hard reboot it it gives me 3 short buzzes as usual but still nothing.

If I leave the usb cable plugged in I get the connect/disconnect noise for a usb device which makes me think it's stuck on a boot loop but theres nothing on screen, it's just dead.

Screen is black and all I get when a usb is plugged in is the flashing red light and an occasional blue one if I mess with the buttons.

Tried using PC Companion to repair the device but it says the software isnt available for my device.

Tried flashing 2 separate FTF files and they both fail saying something about needing the correct fsc script to flash.

I've kind of given up hope but is there anything else I can try before I flog it for spares or repairs ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Rebooting for ever and now Fastboot & Rescue every 10 minutes (I've tried EVERYTHING)

Hello!

I apologise because I'm going to explain everything I have done, so this might be a bit long.

I have a huawei p7 and my story starts when I got tired of the constant updates of Claro (A service provider in Latin America). Somehow, Claro installs in your phone 19 different apps, one for each country they have presence in, and they keep updating without control; as I don't live in Latin America anymore, but in the UK, I wanted to get rid of the eternal Claro updates. Therefore, I checked online and installed something called "Uninstaller Pro". Being very careful, I disabled the small Claro apps, and left the heaviest one, just in case. I also disabed a couple of things that I never use like google books, google music, google kiosk, the mirror, etc. I was really careful not to touch the ones that have the android robot.

Well, this morning I woke up and the phone was crazy, saying that the android.acore process had stopped, so I turned it off and on, and it started to restart itself every 2 or 3 minutes. I decided to check the uninstaller thing, and I found that one of the android robots apps was red. It was the regional.phone. It wasn't disabled, but just in case I backed it up and then enabled it again. Then the war started.

I checked how to stop my phone restarting constantly and found this/, so I borrowed my husband's sd card and did what is indicated there, but afterwards, it kept restarting itself. I found this thread and checked what wekii said: "OK, maybe these are good news if you say that your phone doesn't restart when it's in fastboot mode.
I would recommend you to try to reflash your phone's stock recovery and boot images with those extracted from firmware that you are trying to install." As my phone doesn't restart when it's in the fastboot mode, I supposed that maybe I needed a more updated version of the UPDATE.APP. I looked around and found this.

After I had done the same thing with the sd card, I was happy to notice that the phone was not restarting anymore, but suddenly, more or less after 10 minutes, it went to Fastboot & Rescue mode. I kept checking online and tried the +vol, -vol & power button at the same time. It installed the thing that it had to install, but the roblem keeps coming. Then, I tried to follow wekii's instructions, so I downloaded worstenbrood's latest update extractor in my laptop (v. 0.9.9.3), but when I try to open it, it opens a sign from Visual Studio 2010 that says "Invalid license data. Reinstall is required.", so I cannot do anything with it.

Conclusion, my phone is still in Fastboot & Rescue Mode, it says Phone Locked, I plug it to the laptop but cannot connect it to hisuite like that, and if I turn it off and on, eventually, it goes back to fastboot mode and I don't know what to do.

Please help, I'm not very literate in terms of phones (took me 7 hours to do what I'm telling you) and I'm desperate. I really need a "rescue your phone" guide for dummies. :(

The Note 5 is the most love it/hate it device I've ever owned.

I've never owned an electronic device of any medium that makes me so bipolar. My previous phone which I still have is a cracked Nexus 5 which compelled me to go and get the AT&T Note 5.

On one hand I absolutely LOVE the hardware. It is the most premium feeling handset I've owned by a large margin. The display is by far the most beautiful of any medium. The audio quality from the aux is leagues better than the Nexus 5. The camera crushes the Nexus 5. No more do I have to make sure the camera is focused. It's an amazing point and shoot camera. It's sleek, beautiful and stunning.

And then we are left with the software... WTF Samsung. Apparently this beast is running the fastest mobile SOC currently on the planet along with 4 gigs of RAM, yet for some reason my Nexus 5 hardly ever dips below 60 fps with animations and scrolling while the Note 5 lags like hell. I don't know how much I can attribute this to a higher resolution display, but it's pretty pathetic how a two year old device is smoother than the alleged current king of mobile processing. Hangouts is almost unbearable on this device. Yes, I know the new hangouts has lag however it wasn't nearly this bad on the Nexus. The only area hangouts lagged on the Nexus was group messaging when scrolling up and down the message chain. Chrome lags during scrolling and no it didn't lag on the Nexus. Play Music lags. I installed Google Now launcher because I like the easy accessibility to Google Now and the LAUNCHER LAGS!! I've hadn't experienced a launcher lagging since I owned an HTC Thunderbolt. So many changes to the UI for just the sake of change. I open the app drawer for the first time and almost faint. WTF are 80% of these apps? I know this is subjective but the icons are absolutely disgusting. Then I'm caught in another dilemma when I attempt to use the material dark theme and the DEVICE LAGS EVEN MORE!?!?!

Man how much I wish Google still had the Google Play edition program because the marriage between stock android with the Note 5 would be heaven. Why couldn't Samsung just keep the stock UI but kept the added features such as S-pen? I really want to keep this device. I really love holding it and consuming media with it, but man navigating through this device is just a mess.

I've bricked my ZF2 please help...

Straight to the point. I've got my phone rooted and everything was fine until I decided to do a software update. Atm I'm stuck at the loading screen and really can't do much. Guys please help
