How do you guys suppose they are going to stop it and force you to use their 30$ "service"?
I only ask cause I was experiencing 4g probs on my "rented" RAZR which I have rooted.
I only rooted it so I could use tethering(sql hack) while we were working on my office's network outage.
When I experienced service "cycling" i called. I could not keep a data connection. I had cell service and could receive calls and texts, but data would just cycle thru 1, 3, 4g, then none. When I called the rep did some digging and quickly kicked me to a "Tier2" rep.
So I tell him my problem. he responds "well, could be your SIM(which is free to replace) or to try a Factory defaults reset." He then proceeds to tell me about free apps for backing up. Something that does not require root. I assume something like titanium backup which is a main reason for many to root their phones and big VZW knows this. This is #1. He then proceeds to tell me about amazons app store, which "offers 1 free app a day". Big gripe from companies is that we rooters are "stealing" paid apps(I have stolen 1 payed app, then proceeded to buy it when the black market went under). That is #2. Without me telling him too much about myself, he goes "so, you seem pretty tech savy with the droid". This is #3.
so with 1, 2, and 3 in mind. Have you seen things like this on other 4g devices. I know they can see it(root). I know they have a way to jack your phone if you are "stealing" the entitlements check, but are they using it? The GSM version has builtin wifi tethering. Do you think that these "BUGS" they found which gave us 4.0.1 and 4.0.2 would have something to do with them trying to make sure we can't "steal" our bandwidth we pay for?
Food for thought. Thoughts? questions? concerns?
Hopefully there isn't any restrictions because I occasionally tether my transformer for easier viewing.

It says right in the press release that they are blocking tethering and charging $20/month for the service. Just like every other VZW phone.

Well yeah they're "officially" blocking it, but with root and whatnot, we should be able to tether freely, hopefully. I tether from my OG all the time, even though it's "blocked"

I know they are blocking wifi tethering but you should still be able to do wired via PDANet(or similiar). but yes, root will be required. on the Rezound they went as far as to add a system process labelled "tetherguard". fun times

I have PDAnet installed on my Droid RAZR, and it works just fine. No redirecting of websites to VZW page to sign up for a tether plan. When I had my DX rooted with GB, I used Wireless Tether and I was directed to VZW's page for tethering plans. RAZR is not rooted either.
I heard about a program called EasyTether that supposedly will allow you to tether without having to root your phone? Has anyone tried it/think it will work?
Tethering works fine after root - no app required (edit: Its now checking subscriptions, but PDANet still works).
WiFi tethering does not work after root on ANY app* - further development will be needed.
*Pretty sure that blocktether thing has returned.
I've been searching relentlessly for a way to get Wireless Tether for Root Users to work on my brand new VZW Galaxy Nexus.
No dice. The Dev has been notified.
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=1257
If you install the latest BETA version and select the Samsung Galaxy S2 under device profiles, it ALMOST works, throughs in error in the log: "Activating WiFi interface.... FAILED"
Totally crushed about this. Not sure if it's happening due to a VZW side safeguard or if it's simply a progrmaming issue the dev can fix :\

Are you saying that you were able to get USB tethering working, after root with the native app? I am rooted, and when I tried to enable USB tethering, I got a pop up message that said "checking subscription plans". ????

Ya the stock tethering options still check subscription status.
PDANet does work, though, so that's what I'm using until a working wireless tether surfaces.
I'm planning on rooting specifically to use the built in hotspot.
Hopefully someone develops a workaround soon.

I am rooted and can not use the built in hotspot, nor USB tethering.
ROM developers are working on a solution now.
Download SQLite Editor from the market. On YouTube, there are many videos that show how to change the wifi tether permissions using sqlite. You have to be rooted.
I'm not rooted, so I use PDAnet with no problems on my laptop. There is a one time $20 charge to be able to use https websites.
I also use my Bluetooth to tether my iPad and surf the Web that way.

I haven't rooted yet so I haven't experimented, but maybe someone can check it out and see if something similar will work with the GNex.
I don't get the "people root so they can steal apps" argument...you realize you don't have to root to download and install apps in Android, right? You get apps the same exact way rooted or non-rooted.

I spent a while earlier today looking around in sqlite for something to edit to enable tethering but no dice. I did see some interesting stuff pertaining to throttling though, i.e. reset date and stuff like that
Has anyone tried to use Barnacle? Worked on the Chrage.
In reading through this forum all day, I am somewhat stuck on my next goal -> free tethering.
SO I currently have root access on my epic 4g touch (sprint) via the method under [ROOT][NCIQ][EG30/EG31/EK02] Auto root your existing stock ROM (w/o ODIN/ROM Flash). I took options A and C for CWM. Now I'm trying to determine which method is best for obtaining the free tethering/hotspot.
1. I have been looking at 2 in particular; one is posted by qbking - in a video dated back to Sept 2011. It is meant for the epic 4g touch although he demo'ed this on an epic 4g - and now all of the comments mention that it didnt work for the 4g touch so I'm somewhat afraid that this method doesnt work at all... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQpIxUxnCqU
2. Then there is a mod posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1390304 which I have to admit is more confusing than anything Ive seen thus far with the number of zips in the post and no clear instruction on installing any of them. It also looks like I'd have to flash my rom in this case?
I'm really curious if the hotspot can be obtained without flashing. if you have recommendations/experience in this portion, please let me know.
I rooted my phone and haven't done anything to it other than that for the sole purpose of tethering. I use an app called "WiFi tether" ver. 3.1 beta6 and it works great. I use it at work with a laptop to stream NFL Sunday ticket. Not supposed to have internet access at work for "security reasons"

No, you just flash the version that corresponds to your radio. It will replace the Sprint Hotspot application to remove the checks to see if you paid for hotspot. As such it is probably the easiest option than messing with Android-wifi-tether. (I have issues with it disconnecting after a while, etc etc)

Google wifi tether should only be used when the carrier has completely removed tethering from your devices settings menue.
Metropcs does this with their smartphones, so everyone on metropcs uses code.Google.Com wifi tether.

Oh this is the exact question I'm looking for and hope you can verify before I perform it. I want to use wifi tether for root users, is that the one you have. It says it requires root and a "netfilter enabled kernel" Now do I have to install a new kernel or the stock kernel have this and all I need to do is get root and install the app?
I have the galaxy s2 for sprint with latetest firmware as of today's date. It says d710.10 for hardware and gingerbread.ek02.
I'm double checking becuase I'm seeing so many people flashing the wrong roms and messing up their phones. Don't want that to happen to me.
Enabling Hotspot on ATT phones used to be as easy as freezing tether manager via Titanium Backup.
It seems with the GS3 on stock ICS this isn't enough...
I've also tried Wifi Tether Manager but still the sharing evades me.
A few threads mention the issue but I'd like to condense the issue to one place.
Any success stories or proven processes?
Preferred solutions found & tested
As the originator of this question, I hate having to read through oodles of pages of diversions just to find if a suitable answer was found.
So I reserved the first reply so I could summarize developments and solutions in this post. Here are the worthy options found so far.

FoxFi seems to have been the solution for me (AT&T customer running a GS3). I was able to create a Wifi Hotspot and connect my laptop plus another Android phone, then surf the net on all 3 devices at the same time! I didn't clock the speed but it seemed to be at least a decent broadband response.
FoxFi doesn't require any significant tweaking, like Wifi Tether does.
I had a rather at length discussion today with advanced tech support at Samsung. He told me AT&T requested data traffic to be manipulated so tethering wasn't possible. He was trying to assure me it was VERIZON who encrypted the bootloader, and he used AT&T as the example of what their customers asked for from them.
How true it is, is another issue all together.
why would you reserve a post in a "question" thread?
anyways, i hate "wifi" tethering since the phone gets extremely hot. and it drains the battery quickly and connection isn't as solid. so this is why i prefer a "wired" tether. i just carry my usb wire around with me and i plug it into my computer when i need to tether. I downloaded "Tether" app from www.clockworkmod.com which let's you tether using a wired connection. it works completely fine for me. I even have Tasker set up to when I plug my phone into my PC, my phone automatically opens the Tether app and loads it waiting for me to "accept". if i don't wanna tether, i simply hit "Home" or "Back". simple as that.
Benefits to wired tether are:
phone doesn't get hot
battery doesn't die. in fact, it charges the phone
connection is solid
secured connection
only user using it

The Clockworkmod Tether app you referenced is not available for my GS3. Play only allows it to download on one of my 5 android models.
Can you confirm that you are using it with a GS3 running stock ICS?

I've wifi-tethered, unrooted, with FoxFi with no issues.
I've also tethered with a USB cable just fine using PDANet on the phone with the PDANet Windows application (again unrooted).
No issues.

I'm assuming you're using an AT&T GSIII? If so, how did you manage to get FoxFi on it? Apparently AT&T is now blocking it from the Play Store along with Sprint. I can't install it from the web, either...my devices are grayed out and it says it's not available on my carrier.
I'd rather not root my GSIII yet and FoxFi sounds like just the ticket.

Yes, at&t ... Not sure what to tell you, it installed fine for me and when I login via the web Play Store, it says it's compatible with all my devices.
Maybe the apk is available somewhere. Since at&t didn't block unknown sources, you should be able to install it.
So is there a safe way to tether natively (wired or wireless)? May it be loading another rom (AOKP or AOSP). I have no problem using a vpn on the pc side.
If I use foxfi or another workaround from the stock touchwiz will AT&T be able to track my tethering and shut down my unlimited plan? It would be useful to use tethering but I don't want to risk them finding it. If I root and use another method will they be able to find out?

I also figured out how to get FoxFi back in the market.
First remove your SIM Card and reboot. Connct over WiFi only.
Go to application settings and Clear Data from both "Google Framework Services" and "Play Store"
Reboot
Go back to the Play Store and you should see FoxFi now. If for some reason you get a cannot connect message in the Play store, go back and clear your data for the Play store again and try again.
AT&T must have just blocked FoxFi from the Play Store within the last day... I got it from the Play Store on Friday 7/13.
Is it permissible to post the .apk here?

you either need the customized version of wifi tether or you need to use the built-in tether tool. customized version is kicking around here on the forums, I think I found it over in the CM.1 Nightlies thread myself.
I'm using "Hotspot Toggle Widget" by Fattin (4.2.2 | Verizon).
The app does not provide hotspot functionality per se. It is a widget to toggle the built-in hotspot on and off. It bypasses the annoying carrier check that checks if you have a tether plan or not.
Great for those of us who are still enjoying grandfathered unlimited data.
The app also does not require root.

It may be something with your phone then if you cant get tether on any aosp rom. Did you use Freegee to flash recovery? I only ask because the newer aosp roms some require a special recovery for them to flash correctly but if you use Freegee either recovery works just fine.

I guess I'll try to install an AOSP Rom again and see what happens...oh boy :/
I flashef back to dev edition 5.0 and used Treve wifi tether to download a torrent on my wifes S3. The only thing I did was change device profile to generic wlan0 and check send netd max client cmd.

I was hoping you could do it on this device. TrevE's works on my other phones too, just not this one.
use native
WiFi hotspot on aosp ROMs or custom ROM I'm using Cm11 to feed wifi to my nexus 7 from my ls970.

I know this is an issue with the OG because its the only phone FoxFi does not work on.....and Ive tried 17 different phones, all the major brands and a couple china phones too. On my old S3, both FoxFi and TrevE worked fine...Is there a built in firewall in the WiFi system of this phone? Damn i wish I knew how to rewrite script...

Im kinda confused now because I've download torrents on my phone and my nexus 7 using utorrent and wifi tether, I just downloaded the Scott Pilgrim vs. the World soundtrack on my nexus 7 so I know it works. I will try Foxfi and see what happens but I would guess Treve wifi would be the better option. Have you tried Treve wifi using the settings I mentioned above, I've been using treve wifi since evo3d days and never had a problem once I got it setup properly.
if we can get through entitlement checks for the tether all the others will work after that i bet. i suck at smali but there are lots of devs that done in here. any takers?

Yes, I've tried your settings. I have the DE v5 download....I'll install it again and try your settings on that Rom....do kernels have anything to do with the wifi stuff?
Thanks for continuing to try and help...

So basically you are saying it is possible to make the wifi tethering issues better for this device, just finding a Dev to work out the problems is the issue..
Like I've said before, I don't mind donating to that project if someone will step up to do it. I'm simple minded when it comes to stuff like that but would it not be possible to copy code from another LG device ( like the Nexus 5) that tether works well and just work it in?

i was looking at another source for the sprint gs4 it is missing all the entitlement smali code in services.jar so even if you delete the entitlement code you have to sift through the other files to delete any other code that defines the entitlement code. ill pull both of them up on a diff viewer.
and see how different they really are....

OK I thought you were trying to download on your phone. On your computer you have to make sure the correct ports are open. Im not sure but I think the ports that need to be open for torrents start around 6881 and if its not open the program will try to use the next available port that can be used for torrents. Vuze makes setup easy and is much faster than bittorrent or utorrent and its not constantly downloading background stuff like bittorrent and utorrent.
