I have the same problem. The fix turn out to be simple. Borrow another sim card and put in, can be from any carrier and your phone does not have to be unlocked. When you restart, the iPhone will try to activate. Turn off. Now put your old SIM card back. Now your phone should ask to be activated again. This time activate it and you should see the hotspot. I think the carrier can push the setting of personal hotspot to you. Sometimes it is overwritten in your phone. Actication will reset it if your carrier allows hotspot.
