I have tried stock and Damage roms, and still can't get wifi tether to work. Phone is fully rooted, with all the goods. I can use alternate wifi tether programs from the market, that do adhoc only, and they work. Is anyone else have this issue, or have any ideas?
Did you use wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre2.apk?
same problem here. am we the only ones? why?
anyway, go to the market, and download the one there, it works fine for me.

I use that version with stock .6 ROM, works great.
Yeah, it works great and even appears as a regular access point. My problem has been getting intermittently disconnected and having to turn off/on tethering. Other than that, it works great.
same here ^^^ its been killing me cuz theres now warning of disconnect or anything but i love it!
Just make sure you guys get titanium backup and uninstall it. Then install it from the market place.
I had the same issue. I had to install the one from the market place, reboot, install the 2.0.5 version, reboot, start it and then it worked.
I haven't tried to replicate success this way as I don't want to risk breaking it again, but I've tried everyconceivable combination of getting it to work and this was the only way that did.
whats so different about 2.0.5???

So I rooted my Evo using toasts root method both part 1 and 2. I am having a few issues though.
Now I haven't flashed any ROM after doing a nandroid restore at the end of the Part 2 tutorial.
Issues I'm having.
Can't set up Exchange email account. I keep getting an authentication failed. I have double and triple checked my settings. Is there a known issue with this after root?
Superuser Permissions just blank and things that I know should be asking for permission aren't? Before when I had unrEvoked things like WiFi Tether and Overclock Widget asked to be granted Superuser Permissions and now neither do and WiFi Tether won't connect.
I did have to load the apk for Superuser Permissions from a backup due to it not being there after I rooted.
I also know there has been mention of toasts root having issues with Android Market protected apps. Has this been fixed?
When I went through the root process I didn't get any unusual errors. Just a few that were my fault like not having the phone in charge only mode.
Should I just flash Flipz stock rooted rom? Should I wipe and start over?
Everything seemed to go smoothly I'm just a smidge new to Android so I'm hoping I might have just missed a step somewhere that I thought might have been optional.
Thanks in advance for the help
Flash to flipz now, thats what I ended up doing. I was also having problems with the stock rom that needed to be installed after root. Same problem with superuser, I actually had to install unrevoked, just to get superuser back, and so I could use the wireless tether. I did a wipe and installed fresh, and everything worked right away, no problems at all.

Yeah looks like I'm just going with flipz. I just tried unrevoked to get back superuser permissions working and well it worked and wifi tether works now. I have now lost usb connection. Phone will charge but doesn't ask me if I want disk drive mode etc.
I don't know if the latest root method for OTA 1.47.651.1 (---==={ROOT GUIDE}===--- | 1.47.651.1 ROOT method | has been tested for Wireless Tethering. I would imagine that it doesn't make a difference... root is root, and there isn't much of anything changing on the phone AFAIK...
I've searched the forums and can't seem to find an answer.... probably because this is so new...
When WiFi is off I try wireless tethering and get an error message: Unable to start tethering, please try again. I turn on WiFi and start wireless tethering I get the same error message and WiFi turns off. I've tried this with all of the various connection types: Charge Only, HTC Sync, Disk Drive, and Internet sharing. When I try to select internet sharing, I get the following message: "Error Code 67. Registrationg failure. Your PCS Vision username and/or password may be incorrect. Please try again."
I found This How-To-Guide, which references Toast's method...but I'm curious if there's a difference between that method and the one listed above for the latest OTA.
Thanks.
[EDIT]P.S. I can confirm that WiFi does work. I can connect to local WiFi networks when they are available.

Hi.. looks like you are trying to use the buid in stock (Sprint Hotspot) tethering app.. if this is the case it will not work.. you need to root your phone and once you load a rooted ROM (ex. Fresh 0.5.3 or any other one) use the wifi tether app already included in those ROMs.. sometimes you need to reinstall the wifi app . in that case uninstall the wifi tether app and go to this address on your phone and download the latest app for the Evo. http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
hope this helps...
P.S. I attached the app from the address above to the post.. good luck
Ignore jade. He is shilling for fresh. Download the "Wireless Tether" app from the market. That will work.

I figured as much. I am not using the Sprint app. I've tried the first app listed in the android market, as well as one straight from Google that's 2.0.2. It's supposed to work for the Evo... I have the same problem with both apps.
Which connection type do I need to select on my phone?

Guess the op can ignore me if he likes but what's the point of rooting if you are not going to check out various other ROMs..
if all the OP is needing is wireless teather then he should have just gone the unrevoked route.

Not going to ignore you.... not completely. I just want tethering to work so I can test it and see if it's going to work for me. Then i'll mess with other ROMs. The stock Sprint one has too much crap in it... I hate nascar...
Pezu23
I do not know if this matters but are you using a rooted ROM ? I ask because the first time I ran thw wifi tether app it ask for super user access.. maybe you need a rooted ROM flashed on the phone before this app can work.. I have no reference point since I used the toast method to root my phone..
If you can follow toast method of rooting and unlocking the NAND.. you will still have a sprint base (rooted) ROM but this time you can delete the "Nascar app" and anything else you want..
The one in market is not the best one 2.05 pre 2 I think is the best it does infrastructure mode allowing almost any device to connect
Sent from my Evo on on the Now network from Sprint

If you tried everything, i dont see why you would not take 5 more minutes to load a new rom with wifi already in it.
I had the market version of tether installed and it works fine, but I downloaded the attached APK file (in my evo) and when I tried to open it says:

I have the same problem. I am on stock rooted with rooted OTA's...
I did get it working with Fresh, but I was having other problems with Fresh 0.5.3 like the camera would sporadically go out. I guess I may have to reload fresh (which I really liked, by the way)
I rooted using the link in your first post then installed the newest DC rom and now the newest baked rom. Neither allows me to wifi tether (though no errors) as I dont see a network being created. Any ideas? Did I root wrong or screw up my radios?
Thanks!
cool.. ill try that..
Maybe I'm confused...
When I run adb shell I can gain root access. However, it appears as though HTC Sense (or any other launcher) is not running as root..or at least the programs launched within Sense (i.e. astro file manager, wireless tether) are NOT running as root. I can only create dirs in /sdcard with Astro File Manager...Guess I gotta figure out how to wipe and restart.
Not to complicate your current line of thought, but I don't think normal file managers can create new files in system. only programs that request su will pop up in the su app. But the wireless tether should.
I am running basically stock with the tether and it works. But there is something to be said about trying to start over
Did you guys also loose 4g signal..And i hardly have any 3g bars to tether with...Before rooting after OTA everything worked perfect....Is 3g and 4g giving yall issues?
Let's build a FAQ here to help everyone get the full benefits of this outstanding ROM! Let's not make this into a discussion thread so that it makes everyone's search alot easier to find what they need. I'm starting this since there is no FAQ or WIKI in the OP.
I'll start first...
MMS FIX: clear cache for your messaging app (whatever you are using) under Settings >>> Applications >>>Manage Applications>>All. Reboot into recovery, clear cache, Dalvik cache, and finally reboot.
I already posted this in the general forum but this seems more fitting. I installed CM7 on my Evo earlier today. Everything was amazing until I realized that the market app wouldn't work. Within a second of me tapping the icon I was back at my home screen. I wiped all my caches and wiped+ reinstalled CM7 but still no luck. I've reverted to a backup ROM for now until I can get this sorted out. Any help would be awesome!
Issue:
Bad Front Facing Camera Pics "Dark"
Bad Video on any setting other than "High"
Tried Different kernels:
SavageZen 0.0.3, 0.0.4, 0.0.5 no luck
Issue: Titanium Backup does not successfully install when I attempt to update from the market. Think it might have something to do with the GPS, but I don't know...
Attempting workarounds, anyone know if I can use Root Explorer to remove it and then re-download?
Hi Everyone
I would like to share what I have learned over the last week. First off. AWESOME ROM. Great job!!!
I discovered after many hours that a backup with Clockworkmod 3.0.0.5 does not restore on my HTC EVO no matter how I do the backup (i.e. manual or using Rom Manager). Good news is that if you revert back to 2.5.0.7 when you do the backup (either method), I have success on restore. I did the GPS fix by reverting back to a prior image and using the ##GPS….# method and then restored my CM7 and I am happy to report GPS is working.. I did flash Savaged-Zen-V0.0.5-CFS-HAVS-NoSBC-WiMAX-GB-Signed to see if that would improve things. I did them together so I can’t be totally positive which one fixed it. I believe the combination works though. 4G also works which is good news. I do not see signal strength or the icon in the notification but the Wi-Fi shows it is 4G connected (does not say sprint though). It also is consistent in range with what I had with the Sense ROM.
I also just confirmed that the Wi-fi hotspot also works on 3G (no 4G in my hood). I connected my laptop and ipad without problems and connected to the internet.
I tried everything flashing / restoring, etc to get Sprint Voicemail to work. I gave up and downloaded a program called YouMail. So far, I am happy with it (works very similar to the Sprint product and it is free).
Camera appears to also be working. I will do more tests.
I will keep you posted on the things I learn over the next few weeks. I hope some of you find it helpful.
I will answer questions if I can. Thanks for the great ROM. I look forward to updates.
Rico
Issue: No Disk Mode after flashing tast kernel.
Fix: Use savage kernel. Make sure its a Gb wimax kernel.
Issue: No WiFi tethering (bluetooth and wifi tethering both broken). I won't work in 3 or 4g.

Tried that. Didn't work. Used Root Explorer to search for all Titanium backup files. Erased. Checked in /system/app nothing there as well. Checked in Applications list to see if it was there, it was. Can't seem to erase it completely off. Tried to redownload and reinstall from market. No go.
hey guys, for the mms fix, i can't seem to get that to work. mainly because the clear cache buttons are greyed out for the original messaging app and chompsms

You need to flash the proper Gapps for CM7. Do a google search for 'Gapps-GB' and you should find the download for it. Save it to your Sd-card and flash it using recovery. Hope this helps.
I am not sure what the problem is. Are you using the built in wi-fi tethering. I read somethere what the tethering app does not work.. I have had no problems with the build in wi-fi tethering. I ran my phone yesterday with GPS and some calls, text msg, etc and left it on overnight to see how it would do. I woke up and still had 38% after over 20 hours since last charged.
I am currently expierencing terrible wifi reception on my evo, also the data seems to go in and out of connection sometimes
also my mms is not working properly and I cannot seem to fix it, I have ran fix permissions in ROM Manager, Clear cache in settings, and reseting app data in Titanium... I dont want to wipe my phone (too many settings to mess with to get it back to how I like it ) but I am willing to if thats how it will get fixed...
I've had a few apps tell me that I'm not rooted and my wifi tether no longer works (laptop doesnt even see the network. Tried changing and using another tehtering app and it saw it but only gave me limited connection. No internet.) but when I put SU into terminal emulator it returns #.Can someone please tell me how to check to make sure my root is still fully entact and functioning.
Try opening the superuser app.
Thanks for the fast response man. I really appreciate it.
I did and it didnt do anything so I cleared the permissions for it aaaaaaand think i made it worse. in super user I scrolled down to the wifi tether app and clicked it and hit the trash icon withouth thinking it through. IS there a way to manually add allowed apps. I also noticed SU never prompts me to allow apps anymore. Really holding up my ingress progress. lol

Just run any app that needs root and it will prompt you again. You cake also download root checker from play store.

Thank you too eles. I actually just did that and it told me I dont not have proper root access. But Terminal emulator does show # when prompted. Can either of you tell me how what may have caused this and how to fix it. I did just get the 4.1.1 update from T-mo so Im thinking maybe that.

What would be your next step to diagnosing/fixing this. and Thanks again you guys I've been freaking out a little. lol
Just re-root.
Then reflash your favorite ROM.
How did you root in the first place?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Is it really that simple? Won't there be some issues because I have a somewhat partial root already? I honestly don't rememeber my original method. I did it back in september and havent messed with it since. I never even ran any roms I'm still bone stock. Is there a method you would suggest? or possibly a link to it?
Yes, it really is that simple.
If root still isn't working, follow instructions in my signature. The su zip is also going to wipe out any previous superuser/supersu that is present on your phone.
Alternatively, if you already have CWM on your phone, you can use this http://db.tt/okfh9vzU to update it without tripping your counter.
Thanks to your guys' help I was able to reroot using the tool kit. Now my issue is that I did this to fix my wifi tethering issue and its not. What app would you guys suggest for tethering? I dont have it on a part of myplan but I know theres ways around it. Wifi tether and barnacle didnt work (wasnt seen by laptop or other s3) and fox fi was identified, let me connect but said it was limited, then eventually went to fully connected but still wouldnt load pages or anything. If I can get one of you guys to help me solve this by suggesting an app or something I'll get out of your hair.
Do I need to load a custom rom to tether maybe? Thanks again guys.

Just ddownload, and install WifiTether-TrevE_Mod_Latest.apk
it'll work if you make the changes here:
Profile :generic ics/jb wlan0
Enable "send netd max client cmd"
Hi All.
I am rooted and running BoneStock. I have tried to use "Wifi Tether for Root Users" and the TrevE Mod Version, as well. I used instructions for JB that I saw in many places, one of which is here: http://highonandroid.com/android-ap...android-smartphone-or-tablet-universal-guide/. I have also tried several configuration variations on my own. I have never been able to see my SSID from other devices and, often, the phone ends up in a state where neither wifi or mobile data will connect until I reboot.
I was trying to avoid paying for Foxfi, if I can.
Has anyone else had success?
- Rob
I've still had no luck. Anyone else?
Thanks for using my ROM! Hope you are enjoying it!!
Does the stock Verizon hotspot work?
or do you have unlimited data? and can't test
I have unlimited data.
I have unlimited data, root, unlock, and Bonestock and the wife-tether trevE mod works great.
I looked at the page you listed and have different settings. Try the default settings with the following modifications:
generic (wlan0)
enable wi-fi encryption
wi-fi driver reload 1 enabled
wi-fi driver reload 2 disabled
MSS clamping enable
routing fix enable

Thank you guys for this, I will link to this thread in the FAQ.

Thanks, this worked like a charm!
If anyone followed the directions straight from the site and is having trouble with SSID not being broadcast, just change the Setup-Method to "Auto" and turn off "Send Netd Max Client Cmd" and your access point will be visible.
What is the difference between standard wifi tether and that mod'd version. Does the standard one not work?

Are you stock rooted or running a Rom? I used it on Andy's, I haven't tried it since being on ecliptic, but I would maybe try a fresh install and try the toggle again?
I followed settings posted on this thread and my tethering can run without errors, but it won't broadcast ssid. Did i need to install something during the bonestock aroma installer? I have
wlan0
Auto Setup
Driver reload 1
MSS, Routing Fix On
NetD Max Client Off

Hi, I am no techie! I rooted my HTC One M7 (Verizon) and have a stock Rom. I tried various tethering apps, unsuccessfully. This is what worked form me in the end although without encryption.
Treve-mod tethering app version 3 (unable to post the link
Device profile: Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)
Setup method: WEXT (ad-hoc)
Routing fix: checked (enabled)
This is working well and all of my devices are able to see and connect to the network! Even when I enable encryption, it is not working.
Hope this helps.
