Wireless Tether with FreshROM? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have Fresh latest version, when I try to wireless tether it just force closes... is this normal or this rom?

I was having the same problem, but downloaded the newest android tether app. Now im getting this error " Unable to start tethering". Anyone want to help us?

ok someone helped me with the fix:
1) uninstall the app by going to settings-manage apps-wifi tethering
2) download wifi tethering from the marketplace and install
you should be good to go!

Wow. Good thing you made this thread. It's not like it wasn't mentioned 400 times in the Fresh Rom thread on page one. Way to read before installing.

market only works on 2.1 (connection error)

I have searched extensively and have not found a solution to my problem.
Problem: cannot sign in to google account (cannot find a secure connection)
I can flash a 2.1 rom and sign in / download without any problems.
When 2.2 first came out (leak) I could use market but at some point it stopped working.
I have tried every fix on the net. Wiped everything tried every 2.2 rom including early leaks that used to work. wifi does nothing. I can log in to you tube which then lets me use gmail however market will hang instantly and give an error.
I would like to install the 2.1 version of market on a 2.2 rom but I have no idea how to do that. simply replacing vendor.apk does nothing except remove market completely. If this is possible somehow I am willing to try... just need some direction. If it is not possible thats fine too I just would like to know so i can stop trying. lol.
Have you tried dialing "*#*#2432546#*#*"?
checkin failed.
checkin works on 2.1 though obviously.
funny when i went on 2.1 i got the upgrade notification instantly.
this was on a non stock rom, rooted w/s-off and latest radio. of course it wouldn't install but i thought it checked these things before notifying. guess not.
just playing on 2.1 for awhile it is definitely laggy compared to 2.2
coming from winmo 2.1 seemed insanely fast lol. funny how things change.
Have you tried the Beta Unrevoked 3.2 ?
If you go to the website,
h t t p : //unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/unrevoked3
(Not allowed to post link in Forum yet)
They have an WEB IRC Client link that in turn that has the link for the 3.2 Beta.
Of course, they tell you (quite right too!) to use at your own risk.
Market problems too.
I have been having market issues too. I can get in to the market, but when I try to download an app, it starts then quickly says "download unsuccessful." Right now I am running Redemption ROM (pretty nice BTW), s-off and radio 2.15. I can't even download titanium to get my apps restored. I don't think it is ROM based since the market wasn't working with Virtuous either. Any ideas or known fixes?
I tried searching, but didn't find any answers to this. If there is a thread about it, I apologize, and feel free to point me to that thread. Thanks.
I'm on clockworkmod, no issues with market for me.
Tried clearing cache?

Re-root as 2.2 with Clockwork mod 2.5.0.5, I'm @ 2.2, that ROM and no issues for me.
Just a suggestion (Nandroid 1st!).
lol.
i've done all that a million times. tried older recovery builds, amon-ra recovery, even stock recovery on 2.2. already said i tried all 2.2 roms out... this includes asop roms.
i have a feeling this has more to do with how 2.2 is trying to identify which network i am on which for some reason market wants to know.
how 2.1 can do the job just fine is what i need to know.

You need to be a bit more detailed than that. What rom are you using? When did you initially notice the problem? Is there a built-in adblocker associated with the tom you're using? If so, it is very possible that the host file is outdated. To remedy it, you need to download and install the adfree app from the market. Start the app and select either revert (ads) or update host file (no ads) and then reboot your device. This *is* the fix for many internet related problems with several custom roms. This *may* fix your issue.

CM7 Market problems since last week

Hey people,
I'm currently located in China and I've got serious problems with the Market lately.
I'm using and been using CM7 on my Moto Defy for months (almost since CM7-Jordan beginning) and I've never had such Market problems before.
So I'm wondering if
1) other users from China can tell me if things are the same (or fine) for them?;
2) anyone have hint/suggestion on how to fix this after reading what I did/observed here?:
First, I'll say again that I've never had problems with Market before; none getting it installed (through gapps zip) on CM7 when updating/reflashing ROM or Nand backups/ none with downloading or upgrading apps with the Market app.
But all in a sudden last week, I noticed that the Market was not reacting quickly. I was testing 111004-1128 nightly (which has a newer Superuser file included) then after SU updated itself automatically [coincidence???], all things broke loose, Market would not connect and give me errors. SU would also alway stay in the "Not Installed" List of my Market apps (even after reboots and logins).
I've then tried to install the Superuser Market update fixer app (big mistake I think now) but that just made things worst. In an effort to get the Market going again, I did clean it's cache and eventually it's data which basically resetted all my listed apps in the Market.
Following all that, I did numerous fresh installs [maybe 10 at this point]: RSDL Froyo flashing and CM7 and gapps installs [with and without restoring old working CWM backups] and with countless install combinations of older CM7 builds and gapps versions.
On August's gapps, Market always gives me the "No connection Retry" even if I can get connected to Google services since my wifi indicator turns blue or green (depending on theme/CM7 build used) and Talk and Gmail logs in fine.
On June's gapps,login seems fine: I can browse apps but as soon as I try downloading something, I get stuck at Downloading 0%... and it seems to put the servicee in some sort of bootloop since and other apps icons do not display until I get "Download failed to install - Try again" and click OK. Market will also FC as soon as I select anything from the "Just in" sections.
I've tried clearing Market's cache many times, started Talk, signed out and back in, let my wifi on all night to leave Market to update. I've even created a new gmail account and tried it on yet another fresh install with June gapps; nothing works and this drive me nutts!!
I can go on my desktop, use a VPN service to log in to my Market account and install something from there; it will be pushed on my phone alsmost right away. But again I can't install anything from the phone no matter what.
That would be fine with me, but that means that for any special apps that otherwise would require me to use Market Enabler, I will not be able to do it from the desktop either.
It's not a question of having DroidWall or anything else I've installed blocking something out; like I wrote; I've tried many clean installs without restoring or installing anything...: same.
So, has The Great Firewall" finally caught up to Android Market and stopping use of any Vending.apk from withtin China? Are they recent changes from Google? Or am I having other Market setup/install problems here? What's your take on this?
Thanks for reading and thanks for any help in advance.
Cheers.
And PLEASE do not "full quote" this long post (sorry for that btw) .
Market has been blocked by GFW. I can't access it either unless using VPN.

This sounds not so far fetched..
I live in the US, and I see the same type of behavior at my college.
I can get to the app, but when downloading it sits there for a century.
the idea of censorship isn't something I would blame, nor shrug.
Her are a few things I should try...
Use a spare gmail account to test with, and see if you can reproduce the same results...
Try and use that same vpn, configured through your phone this time, and disable any apn/data settings other than wifi... Now try.
Edit:
P.s. What ROM are you using? The cm team has a stable out now.. Guide that a shot...

My OP was a long one, but I think that i did mention somewhere that I've tried a new gmail account with same result.
My vpn use encryption and will not work on defy ;(
Strangely, from all my recent tries at getting gapps to work properly, it seems that I can only use 2G data to do the first account setup. And that seems to 'work' only with June gapps package.
Recent update (on RC1.5):
I've also managed to get my installed apps listed again by playing around with 2G data and installing and uninstalling a standalone 3.1.3 Vending apk as update and undo it.
I was able to download 2 or 3 apps (out of 50 trials) also by fiddling w data enable/disable.
But again, never before, in 4-5 months using CM7, I had to turn on data past the initial Google setup and I've never had any download issues either....
So i don't think that it's related to TGFW and will keep digging...
On 7.1 now but no change..as
I did flash june gapps w 7.1 but never got any setup to do since no factory reset. Will try a clean install tomorrow or the day after...
Thanks for your reply.
OK I finally got it to work after all.
I just tried to fix the fix the problems caused by the new Superuser update after trying a recent nightly in just the worst possible way over and over.
So what you have to remember is:
1- to NOT signin to your Google account using data and do it over wifi. So select "Skip" on the screen showing "Create an account", "Sign in" or "Skip" and go ahead with other settings: your baseband, wifi and especially turning off "Data enabled".
2- always use the latest gapps version, not the June one like I tried many times
3- Install gapps along with a fresh CM7 zip install; not a nand restoration.
4- after reboot (if needed by Defy Baseband Switcher) just press the Market icon and set up your account then
So wipe data, cache and Dalvik and install CM7 zip (RC1.5 is a good one to start with) and and latest gapps zip and follow the above.
Sorry for this useless thread and for me trying to get this working like a chicken without a head
So @ TimelesslyPrecise: if your downloads do not start, it might as well be because you did setup your account over data the first time.
So just start from scratch again:
- backup your apps [with TB, the newest (and free) Astro file manager or other];
- do a fresh CM7 install (no need to reflash Froyo) but do as above;
- restore your apps;
- then just click on the Market icon and sign in.
Don't worry if at first your apps are not listed under "My apps"; they will eventually come back with usage.
@xcjiang: yeah I knew that, but that doesn't mean that the Market app on the phone doesn't work.
Sorry again about that.
Cheers.
Didn't worked for me...
Instead I found cause and solution elsewhere http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295222
To cut the story short, problem is in way that Market don't get DNS right.
Solution is to install app that will change DNS for every wifi connection DNS to OpenDNS (my choice) or GoogleDNS. I'm using DNS Changer.
Now enjoy superfast Market

[Q] WiFi tether stopped working.

Hey all.
If this has been posted already, I am sorry for a repeat post. I haven't seen a fix.
I recently did the OTA update on my Galaxy S3 to Android 4.1.2 and I think that is pretty much the only thing that I have changed.
I had to go back to my stock recovery in order to get the update, but I never changed my recovery back to CWM.
The phone says that I am still rooted, I have the superuser icon in my apps so I assume that I am rooted.
Whenever I click on the app it says that I am granted superuser permission.
I am using the WiFi tether TrevE Mod and it worked in the past with my ipad.
It starts to tether, stating that I have superuser permission, but then it says:
"Tethering started with Errors!
Please check 'showlog'.
I check for the WiFi option on my ipad and my ipad is not there.
I unistalled and reinstalled the program and it has the same issues.
I go to the "show log" and it says "unable to open the log-file. File does not exist"
I am out of ideas what to try next and I ask the forum for advice.
Thanks to all!
Mike in St. Louis
This is a kernel issue. Some stock kernels don't allow wifi tethering, even if you are rooted. Flash a different kernel and profit.

That'll help you if you don't know how
The problem was that I lost root. Thanks!

[Q] Stuggling trying to get tethering to work on verizon phone.

I've scanned a lot of posts and tried many things but can't get tethering to work on my Verizon phone with jellybean 4.2.2.
Here is my latest attempt. I rooted phone with saferoot. didn't touch the recovery system i.e. its stock. Installed wifi tether trevi mod.
In wifi tether settings:
- Device Profile > Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)
- Setup Method > Netd-Mcd (master)
- checked 'Send Netd Max Client Cmd'
- checked 'WiFi-driver reload 2'
- checked 'MSS clamping'.
- checked 'Routing fix'.
When I try to activate tethering I get "Tethering started with errors! please check show log.".
When i click show log i get message "Unable to open log file. File does not exist"
Is this an old solution which no longer works? If this won't work for my phone can someone suggest other ways of getting tethering to work?
Thanks for any help.

Sorry, could you expand on that a little please. Exactly how does upgrading to kitkat help me?
Will it make the solution i tried work? Will it make some other tethering solution workable?
I don't want to upgrade for the sake of upgrading. I'm good with jellybean unless its preventing
tethering from working.
Thanks.
