- I have put together one method of getting unlimited hotspot data unthrottled and it works on all carriers that I have used.
In this video I have used Cricket Wireless as an example which is an MVNO owned by AT&T and works very similarly to AT&T
This has been tested on Verizon and T-Mobile also with success.
Just change your APN settings according to your Carrier
This has worked on my Android and iPhones and even on my Nighthawk M5 and Nighthawk m6
how to change TTL on iNet OpenWRT router
• UNLIMITED 5G/LTE WI-FI...
thank you for making this video I can now download games at full speeds. my home internet is down often and I needed a backup internet option.
I havent tested it yet but want to thank you for all the time you have put into it, is on our side now to understand what you’re explaining here. We all want freedom, I can see that some don’t want to work for it!? Doesnt make sense at all though… thanks so much again, and being new to all of these, your video has thought me a lot. You have been the best I have seen so far or read about this topic.
Yeah the common theme across the various methods of getting unlimited hotspot on the unlimited plan that you pay for is setting the TTL, APN, IMEI. TTL can be set on Hotspots and routers easily but can also be set on other connected devices as long as the TTL equals 64 when the device providing cellular Internet sees it. E.g.: TTL is 65 on laptop connected to phone hotspot. The APN type needs 'dun' added in addition to what is already there. The IMEI only needs to be set if you have a device other than a 5g phone.

I'm hoping you have the care to answer me..
Who is this instruction for?
Shouldnt you make that the first thing you say..
And then...
You say to do things..
But you dont show how...
So how can I do it without step by step guidance?
@@AMEER-114- there are many specific guides that can be made off of this one but this just gives the basic idea that they all follow and lays out the options for how you can do it which your setup will be different than someone else's. I've been looking for a universal way that everyone could do this and PairVPN might be that option. If you could host a VPN or proxy on your phone and connect to it from a client device that should take care of setting your TTL packets to 64 and may be all you need for some carriers to have unlimited hotspot. I'm thinking about making a video on how to make a proxy or VPN on your phone and connect a travel router to it but there are videos on using PairVPN if you are interested in that.
@@developer-of-things
You sound very nice and kind and helpful...
But you didnt address my very first issue...
For instance,
If this is not for someone with a plan of UNLIMITED DATA...
And you dont say so from the beginning...
Arent they just spending time over nothing.
Which would be my case..
Cause I have no idea what you are talking about and the frustration that I'd endure trying to figure this out would be beyond your sympathy and patience...
Yet ..if I went ahead and tried anyway..
Only to find after awhile ...
That it is inapplicable to me...
Isnt that a horrible thing to do to a person?
@@AMEER-114- You will need an unlimited data plan, this is to avoid counting against your hotspot which is limited. Phone data and hotspot data are considered different things by the carrier and are counted differently. This video is for people looking to use unlimited hotspot that already have a plan that provides unlimited phone data.
How do I share internet to ps5 though? I'm getting amazing speeds on pc but ps5 slow. I'm using command prompt netsh int, etc. Please help????
There are a lot of factors to consider such as which device you're using for a hotspot, which carrier are you using, which device you are using for setting your TTL, which wi-fi standards/specifications are supported between your hotspot and PlayStation, I can say VPN usually speeds up hotspot data connections for media streaming.
Im try to use my hotspot for gaming with out using and high speed i have unlimited data but only 50gb of high speed
its there a wat to this for gaming consoles, xbox, ps, etc
Do you think it is possible if I can the IMEI of a locked device to unlocked one and use the code that I have for both? Thanks
Don't use the same IMEI because that will cause them to be blacklisted if used on the same Network. You can search for IMEI generators online and generate one for any 5G phone you would like. To be sure that it is not in use on your carrier you could check the generated IMEI to see if it is for a phone in another country. Ex: I might generate a European iPhone 12 and use it in the United States.
Hello dofT. I got this up and running while using Windows 10 on my pc. Is there a way to change the ttl value on an android tablet? If I'm out and about with only my phone and my android tablet I'd really like to do this and not having my laptop. Do you know a way and if so how do I do this with just my phone and my tablet? Thank you so much for you help. This here is game changing for me!
If you are looking for an easy way to set your TTL on Android or iOS devices you may need to buy an iNet travel router from Amazon, tether your phone to it, set TTL in the firewall settings using iptables binary. Just make sure your phone allows setting for your APN Type to "dun" in your APN settings before buying a travel router because this is needed.
Soon I am planning on making a video on a new device I bought that makes this super easy. GL.iNet GL-X3000 (Spitz AX)
Method requiring root: I found that there is a TTL Editor app on the play store that can change the TTL value on some rooted Android devices with a MediaTek or Snapdragon processors however this method didn't work on my Google Pixel with the Tensor processor.
Advanced solution: There is also a command "iptables" on Android and Linux where you could usually change the TTL but I see the Android implementation lacks the ability to set TTL and to replace this binary file would require unlocking your bootloader, compiling a version of Android from the AOSP project with a suite of binaries that contains iptables such as "BusyBox" and this Android ROM would need all of your phone drivers which I have seen done by extracting them from the Android filesystem.
you would need hotspot plan inorder to work right? (cricket)
Probably so, depending if your phone restricts hotspot usage. Cricket might set a setting to disable hotspot on your phone if it is not a feature on your plan.
But you would get some hotspot on your plan anyway on the unlimited plan. The unlimited plan would be the best plan anyway for getting a usable amount of mobile data.
Bro im curios, are the second device need to change ttl too? The first device is the hotspot (the first device is rooted phone with changes of ttl)
If the TTL chances can't be made on the phone side because for some reason such as the processor not being a snapdragon processor then you would need to just set the APN on the phone and then setup the TTL firewall rules on the OpenWRT router.
Some phones allow for APN and TTL configuration and others may require a work around.
The Nighthawk M1, M5, and M6 routers could have IMEI, APN, and TTL settings changed so they are a solid option.
Hey nice and very detailed tut. I got a lil question to ask you, do this works on limited data plans, because i'm from France and Lebanon and all careers provides limited data unfortunately
You will get what the plan says it offers for phone data and will not be limited to hotspot restrictions. If the phone plan is limited to a certain amount of GBs then that is all that you would get. But if you have a limited amount of hotspot data that would not be a worry. You would need an unlimited phone plan.
@@developer-of-thingsUnderstood so if the data limit reach out of X GBs should i change my IMEI number?
You would still need a plan that offers unlimited data. This workaround is for avoiding data being counted as hotspot.
@@developer-of-things okay. Thanks for your feedback 👍
how do i set ttl value to 65 on connected android?
The TTL can be set on Android phones that are rooted and have a supported processor using a TTL changer app for rooted devices. I have had luck with snapdragon and MediaTek based Android phones.
Am i like gonna get in trouble or something by thing this, do i have to use a vpn or something bc i dont want to be chared extra or for them to cancel my service or something
A VPN is definitely recommend, I've been doing this for a while with and without a VPN and not had trouble. There's also the added benefit with having a VPN that video content plays faster since the VPN hides traffic and the carrier can't throttle video playback behind a VPN
What will happen if i only use the vpn on the phone or not at all? (Gonna use router trick for gaming consoles but dont know how id use a vpn on those), will it still just detect it as a normal hotspot or is it just more likeley to get shut off by the company
How is that trick ? Any videos I live in a rural area with almost no internet company and I need to unlimited hotspot from my T-Mobile to my ps5
For a gaming console the best option for you to have VPN would be to setup OpenVPN or Wireguard on an iNet router which could cover all devices under it with the VPN. I used ExpressVPN and NordVPN for their OpenVPN profiles which I was able to add to my GL.iNet GL-AXT1800 router.
The VPN would remove throttling on streaming and greatly increase streaming speeds on cellular data.
I have an iPad with unlimited plan that seems to be throttled after 40g and a Netgear M6 pro. Is it possible to transfer data to M6 and have unlimited unthrottled data to use as home internet?
AT&T for carrier
Yes it could be possible as I've run an unlimited tablet data plan on the Nighthawk M6 for a long time but it seems this hasn't worked for some other people after an update so it looks like this does get patched at some point. I would say GL inet cellular routers would be your best bet for a simple setup with an unlimited data plan.
Hey there, im using tmobild on a samsung s24 ultra, non rooted i got this working for about 24 hours and akl of the sudden i get no internet access. I restarted the apn settings and did them again went to the computer and did the cmd but nothing. I tried changing to default APN but nothing. Tried switching to wifi hotspot and still no internet access. I would appriciate any sort of help
Edit: i was also bridging my connection from my pc to a samrt tv using a lan cable. I disabled that brigding, i also deleted the settings for the bridge and still nothing
In the APN configuration you would need to add 'dun' to the "APN type" there's a chance T-Mobile and or Samsung might prevent this value from being added to the APN but it's worth a try. Besides that if you're setting the TTL on your computer using your phone as a hotspot you would just need to set your TTL to 65 on the computer. That would be all you would need.
If you can't set the APN value, you can still get unlimited hotspot but you may have to use PairVPN to tether the two devices. That would remove hotspot data restrictions but would limit you to pairing only one device at a time.
@developer-of-things so if I'm using the cmd process ii would not need to use the apn or vpn? Or do u still suggest using a vpn? If I had to use a vpn my speed will dramatically decrease.
@@iTzJOHnNyY With Verizon I believe you could do only the CMD command and be fine. With ATT and T-Mobile you would need the APN type to contain 'dun' in addition to the CMD command.
Hello. I recently bought a Cricket Innovate 5G device, non rooted. It allows me to edit the APN. I entered the same settings you did. I even put dun in all caps. I attempted to USB tether and I got a message saying "phone doesn't allow hotspot/tether. Please contact carrier". I downloaded the add apn app. That didn't work. I am wondering what else could I do.
You used to be able to enable hotspot using an ADB command but now that is restricted on most devices
adb shell settings put global tether_dun_required 0
Your best bet would be using your SIM card in a device that can bypass this restriction. I am making a video soon that will provide a good solution.
@@developer-of-things okay. Thanks. Do you have the exact command line for this?

Can I set a TTL value on an IPhone to access a hotspot from a non rooted android?
Nope, you would need a router in-between to change the TTL value.
Theoretically you could change all the TTL values by developing a VPN mobile application that writes a TTL value of 64 to every data packet before sending it off. The only reason you don't see apps like this is because it would violate some policies.
@@developer-of-things I was trying to root me Android when I realize that I have a Samsung snapdragon US… Trying to find how to root it but it’s hard to find😔
@@mauconx Last I checked Samsung does not allow unlocking the boot loader on the variants of Samsung phones destined for the US. This means you can only root by using exploits which is a more dangerous way of rooting because you don't have any recovery if things go wrong not to mention security... I don't really use phones for internet anymore instead opting for cellular routers. I left the video here as a fundamental guide on what is involved to unlock unlimited data on a phone since the information was not very available on UA-cam.
Your best bet for unlimited portable internet is getting a cellular router that runs the OpenWRT firmware. This firmware allows lots of customization in a very open way so you could change just about anything you need to including IMEI, TTL, basic APN config. My choice router is the GL.iNet GL-X3000 because it supports the most cellular bands and has the OpenWRT firmware.
Can you do this with visible in a mofi or Cudy device?
I don't have a MiFi, inseego, or Cudy device to test with.
That would have to be a future project if I get my hands on it.
Yes this can be done on cudy I just hooked up my cudy for a small project what carrier are you using ?
what would i add for att in the apn
I have an example APNS.xml file in the git repo with ATT
Actually yo can you make an updated vid. Or rather a video about rooting on the latest Android version
It's different for every phone. You can look at how to do it on your particular phone using Magisk. Basically you need to unlock your bootloader, download the correct firmware, patch the file needed for your phone using magisk, flash it back to your phone.
Can I use Pixel phones with Cricket for this pupose?🤔
Even with root access the Pixel is a hard one to get working. Mostly because of the TTL changer apps not working on Pixel phones. Then there is the issue of if you can edit your APN type to include 'dun' it's pretty common nowadays for that to be locked. You might be better off picking up a MUDI V2 hotspot if you want easy unlimited hotspot usage of your unlimited plan.
Dude thanks. I've been doing this with my rooted Motorola for a year now. Mobile Wi-Fi unlimited unthrottled. Dude i download gigs and gigs and gigs of steam games while i stream on T-Mobile's cellular network. Bitchin 😎. All over America I'm a truck driver this I need. The bad thing is my battery blew up cause it's always on charger. I rooted my pixel phone and put the exact settings I also did this a while back for some reason it's detecting the pixel and charging me hotspot. And slow hotspot even though i haven't gone over. After I hooked the Motorola up with the bad battery Wi-Fi is zipping. Just doesn't work on the pixel with the exact same settings I don't get it. I'm going to try 65 for my ttl. Oh by the way I tried this on Cricket cuz I have both cricket and T-Mobile. Cricket didn't allow DUN in the APN settings. I'm going to try to install BusyBox through magisk module. I just don't know what the difference would be in the two phones how they don't detect Motorola but they detect Google pixel weird
Yeah I have the Motorola stylus 5G 2022 and had no problem rooting it and setting the TTL value to 64 using a root only app in the Play store. The app installs BusyBox as root and I believe this is so that it can use the iptables binary to set up routing rules that apply the TTL value 64 to all data packets. I downloaded a few of these apps that change the TTL and saw that one of them gave a description saying that it only worked on certain mobile processors, I assume this is because it sends AT commands to the modem on the processor but not sure about that part. It seems like it's only works with a few mobile processors such as mediatek and I believe snapdragon. I think the pixel phone with the Tensor processor is the reason it doesn't work on Pixel.
With the cellular GL.iNet routers you could pretty easily set the IMEI, TTL, APN and be running quickly with great reception on the road and unlimited and throttled internet. Since you are a truck driver I would recommend the Spitz AX 5G GL.iNet router. You can get great reception with just T-Mobile alone but since it supports dual SIM cards and failover you can use AT&T or even Verizon as a backup and switch to the better one. I have a video coming out on this soon but if you'd like to attempt to set it up before then, I could provide the details for that.
@@developer-of-things heck yeah. Please send the details. I will definitely try it out. I have T-Mobile and cricket. That's awesome if it can switch to the better network. I will try that router and get back to you. I'll be waiting for that video. Thanks for getting back to me and the hard work you do figuring this out.
@@krisadams7100
So first thing is to change the IMEI to a 5G phone before inserting your SIM card, better not to signal to your carrier that you are using the router. You will need to navigate to the AT commands in the admin panel and submit your IMEI using this command with your IMEI in-between the quotes AT+EGMR=1,7,"123456789012345”
Restart the router
Check the IMEI on your router
Secondly insert SIM and set your TTL to 64 in the settings of SIM 1 or 2 which ever is inserted
Lastly check if any changes need to be made to your APN. In my case I didn't even have to add 'dun' to the APN as it just worked without it.
Yesir, got the GL-X3000 ordered from Amazon. Be a couple of weeks before I get home. That will be the second thing I do. The first thing I'll do is write down the GL-X3000 imei. I will definitely get back with you on this. This device is bad asz thanks for pointing me in right direction.
I the router trick and its still picking up hotspot data. I have the GlX750V2 router. I changed the ttl to 65 with #Change TTL
iptables -t mangle -I POSTROUTING 1 -j TTL --ttl-set 65
any suggestions?
The commands I use are a little different as I don't have the 1 after POSTROUTING
iptables -t mangle -I POSTROUTING -j TTL --ttl-set 65
iptables -t mangle -I PREROUTING -j TTL --ttl-set 65
What cellphone service provider do you use?

@@Tony1835_ With Cricket you may also need to add 'dun' to your APN type in your APN settings
Very nice video, easy to listen to and understand.
My plan is to get a 4g/5g sim from my carrier(T-Mobile USA) and use my note 10+ as the IMEI if I have to. But what I really want to do is use my laptop on the "new-line" bc it has a sim tray and 4g capability. Then I want to tether (USB 3.0 if possible) to the GL-AXT800 router. Wifi off that to my devices. (Camping/Travel)
Can I do the TTL/apn mods on my windows 11 pro laptop as you did with a mac and accomplish my goal?
Do you have a cash app to send a small token of my gratitude? I understand this is a lengthy comment. Thx
If your laptop is going to have the SIM card inserted then the process might look something like sending an AT command to the modem (4g module) to set the IMEI number, you would also have to set the TTL to 64 on the laptop, and likely set the APN type to include 'dun'
On the router whether you tether wired or wirelessly you would set the TTL to 65. You would have to find the way to do this but this is basically what you have to do.
@@developer-of-things I ordered the MUDI V2 . I'm hoping with your video that explains this I can do it. I'll still use my Note 10+ as the dummy IMEI, this phone will not be used on my carrier once I remove the sim after carrier activation.
I'll slip that activated sim into my MUDI V2, update IMEI/TTL/apn and from there I should have the unlimited hotspot.
I'll follow up later once it's all set up. Thanks again
@@sammythebull2240 any issues with the setup?
@@developer-of-things none. It works flawlessly, I used a SIM that was for my active tablet, changed the IMEI of the MUDI V2 to the same as the tablet attached to my account. I used it 72 hrs straight steaming video to 2 TVs and 3 other devices were active the same time. Not one issue 😁🫡
I also did the TTL and other settings you mentioned. We would be best friends if we lived closer. I used to root phones and change codes in the binary settings to get unlimited hotspot. That what made me start looking again. That was 10+ years ago. I needed to see where guys like you were with this kind of thing and found your page. Thanks a lot
Also this was in the sticks at a campground that's why I had so many devices for 72 hours. This thing powered the Internet for my family and our 35 foot camper
@@developer-of-things hey I thought I replied to this but I can't find my reply so I'll explain again to be safe : Your instructions worked flawlessly. The whole reason I needed this to work is bc I'm going to be doing a lot of traveling with my family. We have a 35' camper with smart TVs and devices throughout. This ran perfect the whole 72 hrs I needed it to. We were somewhat remote too in a cornfield town campground. I put relatively extreme demand on it and can't be happier.
I went on to tell you in my other reply that I used to change code in my rooted phones to trick my carrier into believing that it was my activated device using data while I was actually using the hotspot feature of the phone and accumulating zero gigs used with hot spot on.
That was 10+ years ago before banks stopped letting rooted devices access banking apps. A lot of services cracked down on that so I can't have a rooted device as a business owner who needs access to banks apps regularly.
If we were from the same town we would be best friends Im sure bc you seem like the same kinda cat. 😁🫡
Thanks again. I'll be a subscriber forgive typos
There a way to change ttl without a pc? But also free. Thx in advance
I'm not sure if PairVPN is completely free but I've seen that it can effectively change the TTL by hosting a VPN server on your phone and other devices can connect to it over your hotspot.
Thanks for providing these videos. You said that this method works for T-Mobile and Verizon too. Would it be possible to do a video on those? And are you familiar with ddrwrt or openwrt? I heard those programs allow imei repair but I am not sure what devices or what chipsets this will work on
It does work with T-Mobile and Verizon with the only difference being how you configure your APN. For T-Mobile you have to add a comma separated ',dun' to the 'APN Type' so it would look something like this 'default,supl,dun,ia,mms,xcap'
I don't think Verizon needs anything else besides a compatible IMEI and the TTL set to 64 on the device or set to 65 on a travel router ex: iNet OpenWRT variant.
These routers are only good for the TTL step, they don't help with setting your APN value or IMEI. I might make a future video on T-Mobile and Verizon.
Oh ok thanks. l only asked about the openwrt imei change feature because a saw several UA-cam videos on imei change with openwrt via AT commands. Like this link. ua-cam.com/video/2GllGX15gR8/v-deo.html. I guess in the meantime I will buy a rootable android. You mentioned in the video that certain rootable android phones only worked with snapdragon chip. I have a 5g CPE router/modem with a custom unisoc v510 modem chip that is based on x55 snapdragon. Wondering if that would be able to root and change imei
@@jcee193 there would be no need to change the IMEI for a phone that is supported on the network that you use it on. 5g Routers on the other hand need an IMEI number change because it will use hotspot data only instead of phone data as it will be recognized as a hotspot. The idea of the IMEI is to just be seen as a supported phone on the network.
@@jcee193 and this is a cellular OpenWRT router, most are not. AT commands apply to any device with a cellular modem. That is phones and 5g, 4g, 3g, etc enabled devices.
Yes I understand that I won't need to change IMEI if phone is supported on the network. I was thinking about possibly changing phone IMEI into tablet IMEI because sometimes they have better tablet plan options. I could buy a tablet for that but there are way more phones to choose from.
I now understand that the openwrt lte router in the video link comes with a cellular modem which would make it easier to change since it's a modem/router combo. I was wondering if a non-cellular openwrt router have the ability to change IMEI on a phone if connected USB. That should get the openwrt router to read the cellular modem in the phone.
And last question is if a 4g or 5g cellular router with Qualcomm chip and NO openwrt, is changing IMEI possible?
I really appreciate your help. I have the Oneplus 10 Pro but it's not rooted. So I was able to add a new profile on my phone to setup the APN so I'll have to set the TTL up inside my laptop. The questions I have are: 1. How do I revert back to the original TTL settings when I'm not using my phone as a hotspot inside my pc, or is it necessary to do it? 2. And forgive me if this sounds stupid, do I just turn on my hotspot on my phone, link my pc to the hotspot and enjoy the service without hotspot usage being detected? Can I link up using wifi or does it need to be usb tethered? I have Tmobile service.
Thank you again so much for your help...
Some phones restrict this but you have to add "dun" to your APN type along with other values that are there such as default,sms,supl,xcap,hipri or what ever your phone already has just add dun to it.
When setting the TTL on your computer you want to set it to 65 instead of 64 since it will be decreased by one when the packet gets to the phone. You may need to set this every time you use your computer and there shouldn't be any side effects of using this TTL value instead of the default value of 64 (most devices) or 128 (on windows).

The two things that could make a hotspot better for gaming would be to set the TTL and a VPN to prevent carrier data throttling of streaming data.
Wat if my Carrier isn't allowing hotspot on my plan when I get a plan
If you do everything right then you don't need hotspot data because it won't count as hotspot data, as long as your phone doesn't enforce carrier rules that might prevent activation of the hotspot then you should be fine. Some carriers with some phones will restrict your ability to turn on the hotspot
@@developer-of-things
So basically your saying your phone has to have some type of hotspot included if not able to turn hotspot on if your phone not able to be rooted.
@@darricktopofthehitlist8592 Depending on how the carrier handles that you might need a minimum hotspot plan to activate the hotspot on the device. With root you could get around this by adding a device prop that works around this.

Does this work on metro pcs
I haven't tried them so I am not sure if they restrict adding ",dun" to the APN but the carrier usually doesn't matter for TTL and IMEI values
Do you have to first pay for service for any of it to work
You need to buy a plan that meets your data needs, unlimited plans are best. The amount of hotspot doesn't matter much since you won't be using it.
Hey this works in Tanzania 🇹🇿 too!?
I imagine you may need to consider wether your carrier uses ipv4 or ipv6 I am not sure if the app changes the TTL value on both or if the TTL value is still 64 also you still need to find out what the APN settings should be. Usually you just add dun to the 'APN Type'. Only way to find out is to try and make adjustments as needed.
How do you root a phone
You can find videos using Magisk to root phones. It's a similar process of unlocking the boot loader, extracting a file from the update file, using Magisk to patch it, and flash it.

@@Hondabeater a computer would be needed to root correctly and without dangerous "no computer" exploits .
DUN is for Dial-Up Networking connections for the internet. That's what DUN stands for.
And that makes mobile hotspot data not show up?
Because I'd love to be able to hide my tethering without having to use PDANet+. It works totally fine as a "WiFi Direct" hotspot.. but there are some limitations with Windows that I won't go into when using PDANet+, whether it's a W-Fi (Direct) Hotspot or if it's USB or Bluetooth or whatever. Problems I don't see when using the actual hotspot.
Yes that is the most important part in the APN settings. You would add dun as an option to the APN type. Additionally you would need to set the TTL value. If you are on a phone then the TTL would usually be 64.
Does he it last forever?
Changing your sim card could reset the APN settings which would have to be done over again and software updates could reset the TTL and APN as well as remove root access. So no it is a maintenance item to keep it running.
@@developer-of-things understood thanks for letting me know cause I have satellite Internet and I gotta use this for gaming
Where can i find the correct verizon apn?
You need a specific APN name that works with your sim card. This should be the default APN configuration that you see on your phone under APN settings when your sim card is inserted. With many carriers you would need to add "dun" to your APN type but I found that at least on my iPhone the default APN settings were fine for Verizon and I only needed to change my TTL value.
Could I send you my nighthawk and have you mod it?
I made a video that explains the process but you have to learn the process because software updates will undo these changes and they will have to be redone
does this work?
All you need to do is setup the APN (adding dun to APN type), set TTL to 64 (on hotspot device) or 65 (if you decide to set the TTL value on your connected device), make sure IMEI is for a 5g phone which will be the case if you use a 5g phone as a hotspot / dedicated hotspot must have IMEI changed.
i tried to do the curhop on windows but it kept using the hot spot
That should be set to 65 and you may need to add a comma separated "dun" as a parameter to the "APN type" field.

Does this method work on Pixel 6a phones rooted using MetroPCS unlimited data.
@@developer-of-things I added the 65 but don’t understand the comma part on the apn
@@all-starworld2363 The xml value would look something like this type="default,supl,dun,mms,fota"
@@darricktopofthehitlist8592 No, the app used to change the TTL does not work with the Google Tensor processors that Pixel 6 and 7 have.
A different method of setting the TTL would be required
Sorry but this video was very confusing. You jumped around a lot it didn't flow and left me confused
Yeah on a phone you just need to set the TTL and APN settings. This video is a starting place to understand what needs to be done, the rest of the video just touches on other methods to consider since most likely your phone will have some restrictions on it preventing you from setting up unlimited hotspot.
What do you by having a rooted phone?
By rooting a phone I could install BusyBox tools and with the TTL Editor app you could set the TTL value with those tools. I did notice this app did not work for Pixel phones since they don't have a snapdragon processor. I think that is a requirement for this tool.
So how do I root my phone to make those apps work or I just need to installed them and follow your video instructions
@@shxnokk728 depends on what phone you have, usually you can download the firmware for your phone from the manufacturer's website and patch it with the official Magisk app that you should only get from their GitHub repository to avoid malware infected copies on 3rd party sites, then you need to flash the patched file. There are many tutorials for Magisk rooting. But if you have a US variant of the Galaxy phones you are blocked from unlocking your boot loader which is needed for flashing. If that all is too complicated you could just set the APN as needed and carry an OpenWRT travel router with you to change the TTL value.
@developer of things So I have galaxy s21FE 5g from the US that is unlocked. So mostly I can do is change my APN to the recommendation setting I find for a 5g unlimited hotspot. Then do the terminal command on my windows that is connected to my phone and change the TLL to 65 and that should be it? Or what more should I do that will guarantee to work? Because I want it just to be online on my Xbox while using my hotspot and not getting blocked by using 40g already.
@@shxnokk728 You would need to set 65 on any device you use on the hotspot. So setting TTL of 65 on your Windows computer would cover only the Windows computer. For devices like xBox I don't know if any way to set the TTL besides using an OpenWRT router. You could set it up in your firewall settings on the router.
Way too much rather just continue paying

I'm right there with you but there is no unlimited hotspot plan that doesn't throttle to the point of being useless. Putting in the work to mod a phone or dedicated hotspot is the only way that I know of to get such an unlimited hotspot without limits. For me, I use over 50GB hotspot easily so I had no choice but to find out every way I could get more data.
Seriously. I wish I could figure out WTF is going on.
"i don't like paid tool"🤣😂
Is this real
Yes
Too much info
There are a lot of ways to achieve this and some ways don't work for everyone.
Omg get to the point dude
real
If you only get one point then you won't get anything useful. It took a lot of trial and error to get all these details and I'm saving you time in a 10 minute video.
@@developer-of-thingsthey dumb so they do not understand your research, and all the points u made where important. If they don't like it, good luck finding another video as good as this one.
Hey, would you mind setting up a Discord server? That way, people can chat with you and others who've had success with this method. It would be a great place for troubleshooting and sharing FAQs.
The methods to getting unlimited hotspot on a phone is frequently changing also currently all methods using a phone require recurring setup so it doesn't really make a "set it and forget it" way to get unlimited hotspot. I find the best way to go for such a setup is to get a $150 MUDI V2 hotspot and pair it with an unlimited data plan. I made a video on how to configure it and afterwards it is a portable unlimited hotspot solution. At this moment I'm not following other methods.
Just ordered this MUDI V2, I'm going to add a line to my T-Mobile business plan, mod the IMEI to mimic the phone I tell T-MOBILE the sim is for, then unlimited hotspot ? 😅 I'll rewatch the video but I hope this is close to summing it up.
@@sammythebull2240 you just need an unlimited data plan for phone or tablet. Then just make sure the IMEI on the router is for a phone or tablet. Usually I just bring a spare phone into the store to get it activated with a physical SIM that I could transfer.
