Stock rooted 2.2: VPN broken - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After flashing netarchy's stock rooted Froyo ROM, I can't use my VPN anymore. I have a L2TP/IPSec VPN server and it's working fine with my laptop, and was working with my EVO before Froyo. Now, the phone connects to the server with no errors on either end and the connection is successfully established. But that's all. No data is ever sent and I can't connect to anything behind the firewall. At least one other person is having this issue:

It doesn't appear he is using a rooted ROM so it can't be an issue with netarchy's ROM.
Any ideas?

Another issue: I'm unable to play .wav files. The built-in music player says "unable to play this type of audio file." Weird. It was working before.

Wrong Forum.
Questions belong in the Q&A Forum or in the thread that contains the ROM that you are having issues with.

wireless tether issue on froyo

I installed the wireless tether app along with a kernal i was told to install from a youtube tutorial "/watch?v=juQbWzxIzmI&feature=fvw" anyhow it all installed fine and the tethering worked great. but after restarting phone it just continued to say "preparing phone storage, checking for errors" and my camera wasn't working either. So I ended up reflashing the 2.2 froyo rooted of course. Everything is working fine now. I'm guessing that the issue came from the app or kernal not being updated to work with froyo? Is there another way to get free tethering on my phone?

[Q] Wireless Tether 2.0.5-RC1 Not Working On 3.30.651.3 Stock Rooted ROM

I have an Evo hardware version 004, that I set S-OFF using zikronix's "Like A Boss Edition" tutorial. After that I flashed xxbabiboi228xx's rooted 3.30.651.3 stock ROM (odex version.) Finally, I installed Wireless Tether 2.0.5-RC1.
The problem I am having is that Wireless Tether successfully gains root privileges, starts, the resulting Wi-Fi network can be connected to, and the client successfully obtains an IP address, but there is no Internet connectivity. The phone is on a 3G network.
Does anyone have information that might help me fix this problem?
Thanks!

with the client device connected start a download on the phone, or even browse around google maps to keep an active connection, while doing that try and access the web on the client continually. once the client connects you should be good to stop the active use on the phone.
if that doesnt work try pre8 and the same as above

No dice, same issue. Thanks for the suggestion though.
Try flashing Myn's RLS4 and just using the sprint hotspot app you shouldn't have any problems.

Cannot connect to Play after upgrade

Hi so I have a HTC Desire A8181and finally decided it was time to play about with some of the new firmwares that are out there to give my phone a new lease of life. Firstly I tried an update to 4.0.4 and ran into this problem.
Everything else works fine but I just cannot log into my google account to connect to Play and sync my contacts etc. I get the could not establish a reliable connection to the server error. I can browse the internet fine and have a solid 3G connection. I read through some other forums about changing the host file but this made no difference for me. Also tried turning off the auto date/time but this didn't make any difference also.
After many hours I gave up and assumed it must be something in that ROM. I installed a 4.1.1 ROM and ran into the same issue again!
When I restore back to my original 2.3.3 it works straight away. Checked the host file and it has nothing in there other than the local host.
I am now left on 2.3.3 as I can't get passed this hurdle and hit it with two completley different ROM's
The phone is rooted and has the custom recovery.
Any help would be very much appriciated so I can finally leave 2.3.3!

Thanks for your reply. I tried as you said but still no luck! The web browser works fine just seems to be the apps that can't connect.
Sorted it at last! Turns out once updated to the new firmwares was defaulting to a different APN setting.

So you just changed the APN settings back to the original (2.3.3) and it worked?

[Q] How to get "Wifi Teather" to work with ICS ?

Can anyone tell me how to get Wifi Teather to work with an ICS kernel ? I don't want a non-root solution that requires some additional software on the clients, and if possible, i'd avoid having to install some non-ICS ROM.
I've wasted a whole day but always run into the same issue:
rooted GB works fine: Download "Wifi Teather" from market, configure for Device Profile "Samsung Galaxy S2", perfect!
Using rooted ICS (I927UCLJ3_I927UCALJ3_I927UCALJ3_HOME.tar.md5), same configuration of "Wifi Teather" results in a
red "failed" in "Enabling NAT rules". Everything else stays green. And of course this means that clients can tether with the glide, but they do not get routed correctly (eg: can ping only the glide but nothing further from the tethered client).
This was the rooted stock ICS installed from Odin after clear data/cache/dalvik, format root. I also tried to apply the tethering fix for the leaked ICS kernel (i927_9SEP12_tetheringFix.zip) (of course after another clear data/cache/dalvik/format-root). And i tried to overwrite the kernel with LiteKernel-4.0-20130121.zip, and i tried to remove with Titanium Backup the Tethering Manager apk.
All this stuff did not change the output of "Wifi Teather" at all.
Then i install IcePop ROM, and "Wifi Tether" works fine there, no problems with "Enabling NAT rules". Alas, i can not use IcePop because it has removed Exchange Email, and thats one of those pieces you can not re-install from market or backup AFAIK.
So, what the heck is needed to make "Wifi Tether" work with stock ICS rooted ? Does it work at all ? I've been reading forum posts up and down the wazoo, but any claims to it working have been very unspecific.
*sigh*
Interesting
Been playing around a bit more:
The stock ICS built-in Wifi Hotspot option (under settings) does actually work fine once i applied i927_9SEP12_tetheringFix.zip. Before installing that fix a popup window from the provider comes up telling me i should pay $611/min - or some other text with the number 611, can't quite remember .
But the "Wifi Tether" app does not work with stock ICS neither before nor after installing of that framework fix. I wonder whether this indicates an error in the "Wifi Tether" app. Then again, it works in IcePop.
Wrt. to the way the provider sees or does not see tethering - does it make a difference whether one uses the built-in tethering option or the external app "Wifi Tether"
Learning by doing
So, now i flashed dmans stock ICS rom UCL33-ATT-NEW.zip from here, and lo and behold, the "Wifi Tether" app works, and the build-in tether option does of course not work (not applied the framework fix).
So... The only difference over the real stock update from ATT (rooted with su binary) seems to be that dmans stock is deodexed, zipaligned and batch optimized. "Wifi Tether" is stating that it's installing some stuff binaries et. al. Is it possible that it fails to do so on a system thats not deodexed/xipaligned or batch optimized ? I don't quite understand this.

[Q] Different Wifi error

I have tried to find an answer, but have been unable to. I rooted my sprint LG G3 with stump root. Got the Super User, Xposed, g3tweaksbox, adblock, titanium backup. All was wonderful and have had great joy with it all. Then i downloaded a wifi tether - this one did say it was incompatible with my device, but had a direct link for rooted phones...so i thought it would be ok. maybe not. I then tried to download ssh tunnel...but it never downloaded. It was after that that I started having wifi problems. I uninstalled the wifi tether app. I didn't get on my phone again until i got to work the next morning. right off when my phone tried to pick up their wifi, i got connection errors (tunnel connect failed, then later proxy error) Then i got an alert that ssh tunnel failed to download. I turn off wifi, and everything is great. BUT, now i cannot download anything from Play store. Also, i went back to the app ssh tunnel on Play and it says it is installed. but it is not. When i got back home, i turned wifi back on to check it - i just keep getting an authentication error. So I don't kow what the heck i did, but if any has any ideas to help.....please, Help! also,, I did not flash any rom or anything.
