This MOD is for those phones which have not been activated on Sprint network. There is a thread already present how to activate Wi-Fi tethering for non Sprint activated phones here. Many LG G2 LS980 can tether but only one device can connect to it. This MOD will increase the number of users that connect to your phones Wi-Fi Hotspot. Use Root Explorer , Browse to carrier/wifi/gm --> copy "gm" file to sd card of your phone, press and hold the same file to get a secondary popup menu, select rename, rename the file to gm.txt. Press and hold again and select Open in text editor, change the value from 1 to your desired number, 2 in my case. save and exit, now when you save this file and exit, if the value you entered has saved, it will create a new file "gm.txt.bak" if this file is created then the value you have entered in gm.txt file has saved. Rename the file back to "gm" from "gm.txt" and copy back to carrier/wifi/ folder. check if the permissions are same as the rest of the files present in the same folder, if not change it to same. NO REBOOT required. Please do test and report back. Please proceed if you know how to modify root files. I have done this mod to my phone and currently connected 2 devices, (laptop & Note 3) both have data of hotspot from G2. if helped

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU READ EVERYTHING BEFORE ATTEMPTING THIS. I have enabled this and used a MOD [COMADOSE] for my S4 which improves the LAG and also battery life, the author claims improvement in internet speeds which i have not tested. For those who want to stay complete stock and do some tweaks, this is the best way to do it. it works on MF9 update. below is the link for the TWEAK which i used after enabeling init.d.
