I just flashed to fresh 2.2 Rom and everything works except WiFi and tethering. I have all the new zip files and flashed them several times. Is there a solution to fix the WiFi issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had the same issue, and the steps I did to get it working was;
Factory Reset
Hard Reset
Wipe...
After those steps that i randomly took it worked. I found it weird but that did the job.
Hope this helps you out.
as a not SPRINT fixed the bug that let us wirelessly tether with the OTA. Currently you can use a custom kernel and still tether but without a custom kernel right now you can not tether without the sprint service (hopefully soon they have a workaround)
which kernel is the one to use i am using Netarchy 3.7.6 and was told before that it would work

Please help! All suggestions are welcome.
After flashing OMJ's 2.2 ROM on the first day of its release (knowing that wireless tether would not work), something has been preventing wireless tether from working in all ROMS.
I have tried everything I know (which is not much)... different combos of radios and wimaxes, several different ROMs (based off both 1.3x and 1.4x), different kernels... nothing can get it working.
I am guessing that there may be data somewhere that did not get wiped through recovery or through doing my nand restore.
Thanks!
There are a couple different updates for the Wireless Tether app floating around. Versions 2.0.5 pre 4, pre 5, and pre 6. I've had success with all of them varying by rom. Can't post the links right now, but some of the rom threads have them posted in the OP. You'll probably have to try each one til you find the one that works. One of them should.
[EDIT] I think there's a pre 7 also.

wireless hotspot for 3g works fine on cm6. it's a 2.2 aosp rom. no sense. don't ask about including sense. won't happen. 4g currently doesn't work, and i'm not sure that a 4g hotspot will, because sprint's implementing a MAC confirmation with 4g hotspot (they really wanna charge you 30 bucks a month for it).
but, 3g hotspot works fine on cm6 2.2. that's my point. that's all there is, don't ask for more.
other roms have 4g functioning, so i'd assume 4g hotspot works on those, if you pay for it.

I know pre7 works on my ROM and most other Froyo ROMs.
Pre7 only works on the HTC stock kernels iirc. If you're using an oc kernel please try the other versions listed of it doesn't work for you
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
yea the pre 7 works, you can jus google it like i did
sorry that I did not make this clearer in the original post but I have indeed tried all of the different wireless apps (including pre 7) with a variety of ROMs and nothing is working.
The problem I am focusing on is that I originally had wireless tether working on fresh 1.01 (based off 1.47), I created a nand backup, flashed OMJ's 2.2 ROM, then when I restored back to the Fresh ROM my wireless tether was kaput.
None of the combinations of different version of the app, ROM, kernel, radio, and wimax (and I have probably tried 50+ unique combinations over the past week) have provided any working results.
I even went through the entire ROOT process again, and still nothing is working.
EDIT: What I'm trying to emphasize here is that once I flashed a 2.2 ROM wireless tether stopped working on ALL ROMs... even the 1.3x and 1.4x based ROMs
I have the same problem... the program starts just fine but the download data amount gets stuck at . 4 and my laptop can't find the connection at all. Had OJ Rom and now running latest version of fresh... please help!

Wireless Tether is working fine for me.Fresh 3.0.1 w/Netarchy Kernel 4.0.3 and pre-8 tether .apk
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I understand that for nearly everybody wireless tether IS working. However, given the ludicrous number of combinations I have tried, including everybody's latest and greatest app/ROM/kernel it is safe to say that my problem does not lie in the use of something out of date.
I need NEW suggestions from someone way more experienced than myself.
pretty weird - mine has worked on every rom I've tried.
have you tried CM6?
Also where exactly are you getting stuck?
im having the same problem tried pre 8 now 7 both say activating wifi interface failed, starting access point -failed,
Tether working fine, except I can't watch espn videos for some reason.

try this maybe
Had the issue after running ava v3.
Wipe everything, data cash, dalvik. Dont flash your previous radios or wimaxs, they arent for froyo. Once everything is wiped flash your new rom. Evio 1.1 works great. When you open wifi tether, it should ask you for user permission, if it doesnt somethig is wrong with your su app.
We need more details about your issue. Otherwise all anyone can suggest is wipe everything and flash another rom and try runnig the app. Or like someone else suggested uninstall and reinstall verious versions. But the first time you run wifi tether super user should pop up, if it doesnt this is what is preventing u from running wifi tether.
I'm sorry I did not specify exactly what was happening, but I thought that since this was a well known error for the early adopters of 2.2 people would be familiar with the nature of my problem.
When I put ANY rom on my evo (regardless of whether it's 2.1 based or 2.2) my wireless tether program does not send data. The app itself works fine (gets SU request), creates a network, it just doesn't transmit data because of the authentication Sprint worked into froyo.
My UNIQUE problem, is that this problem persists even when not using those early 2.2 roms. I have tried HUNDREDS of variations of radios/wimax/app editions/ROMs/kernels (including the latest releases) and it does not matter what I do, when I start up wireless tether it stops at .4kb and will not transmit the connection to my computer.
I have gone beyond wiping all of my data (through amon recovery), I even went back tot he 1.3x RUU and went through the whole root process AGAIN and still the problem persists.
There is something on this phone that the data wipes are not removing that is blocking this function, and I do not know how to revert it back. PLEASE HELP.
ive got mine working but its alot slower then even dialup..tried 7 and 8 and same results with both.. Tried on the AC rom and a stock rooted here (using a stock rooted off this forum which the op says works fine for him ...
Hi all. I've looked for weeks through hundreds of threads for a solution to my problem but haven't found a solution. My apologies if one exists.
I am running an odin-rooted EL29 stock rom. I have downloaded various versions of the Wifi Tether app but am running 3.1-beta11 right now. I can get my Win7 Pro laptop to see my phone's wifi but cannot successfully connect to the internet with it. The wifi icon in the system tray continues searching after I tell it to connect.
I've followed the many tutorials on how to do this but none of them work. Does anyone here have any solutions for me to try? Please, of course!
Okay, so I just noticed the sticky at the top of the list about Wifi and others for EL29. All of these fixes look like brand new ROMs, though. I would rather not wipe everything and start clean if I don't have to.
I too had many problems with WiFi and WiFi tether. I actually went to the WiFi Tether home page and dl'd every version there. I paintakingly install each until I found the only one that worked was version 2.0.7. Only problem with this version is that encryption doesn't work.
Also, and I presume you are with Sprint, keep in mind that most of the newer ROMS have the Sprint HotSpot app working fully including encryption and for free.
I tether all my wifi machines to either WiFi Wireless Tether or Sprints HotSpot.
Good luck,
Here is link to WiFi Wireless Tether HOME: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
IF Ive helped, HIT the Thanks button.....
Have you tried going into the settings and under change setup method change it from Auto to WEXT(adhoc)
I was having a similar issue and that seemed to work for me.

I don't think Beta 11 works. That was my experience. Beta 6 & 7 worked then I figured I should upgrade to the latest and tried 11 and it didn't work. Saw a few other people who also had problems with 11 and went back to either 6 or 7. I know for sure 6 & 7 work on Stock but haven't tested any other ROMs.
The Calkulin 2.8.1 Rom can be flashed without wiping your settings and data. Just wipe cache and Dalvic cache and flash the Rom. Make a Nandroid backup first of course. I have flashed this Rom over stock several times with no issues at all. The Rom has the Hotspot hack which lets you use the Sprint Hotspot software which works perfectly and Sprint has no idea that you are using it.
This is what worked for me on a stock rom, Odin rooted + CWM.

I've been using Wifi Tether since I rooted on ZV8/ZV9 and I've had no issues (using generic ics/jb wlan0)
But after flashing the zip to stock ZVB the tether either won't start correctly (wifi driver can't reload according to the log) or it'll start but the connection speed is extremely slow (google search takes over 30 sec to load)
Just wondering if anyone else had similar problems and how to fix it
I've noticed it's hit or miss if it starts without errors. After a reboot it seems to start fine. Figure you have to live with it until some roms drop.
I've changed the device profile to Generic and rebooted and that works for me.
I am on ZVB with stock ROM

It'll work on a reboot, but you'll lose Wi-Fi as soon as you turn it on. In other words.. You can only use one or the other per reboot. If you can use both without a reboot, please tell us how. Because so far it's a ZVB flaw.

So for some reason, I can not get wifi tethering to work on VirginROM.
Stock or with KT kernel, same result, I can connect but no internet access. I wait for 10 minutes and nothing. Even with Barnacle App still can't get internet access.
Not sure if I have to revert to stock 4.2.2 which I don't want to do but don't think I have a choice at this point unless someone knows of a fix, or if this is a issue. Actually is an issue with multiple installs of this rom and other roms.
Thanks!

I've used wifi tethering on VirginROM without any issues... maybe try a clean wipe and re-flashing it? I've got nothing else, sorry.
I made Mr Virginia aware of this a few months ago and he figured out that you need the the T-Mobile CSC files or something like that. I haven't used his ROM in months but IIRC they were in the bottom of the original post.
I updated to official Lollipop rom on Canadian Note 3 (SM-N900W8) and hit with big WiFi issue. I searched xda and couldn't find the solution. How can I say, Phone don't remember my WiFi after I reboot phone. I have to re-select the WiFi, re-input password and it connects fine. But next reboot, It won't even remember the WiFi i connected to and have to redo all steps again. Anyone with same issue..pleas help.

So I'm actually a little bit curious, what official n900w8 rom are you talking about. I've been looking for one for some time now and nothing. Please link if you can.
With regards to the WiFi. I have heard of this before. People with S5 have reported almost similar issues and solution was a script edit.
There has been ports of the new N900t lollipop rom that after a proper kernel "lean kernel" and a S5 WiFi fix. All this has worked on the n900w8 however video recording and nfc don't work.
I'm really curious as to what your set up is.
I went back to 4.4 because I use nfc so much and video recording is a must.
Thanls so much

Lollipop released for Canadian Note 3 SM-N900W8. Telus, Bell and virgin mobile release 5.0 two days back. See link http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N900W8/
Have you fixed this?
I have the same problem. I tried editing the build.prop file as suggested on some posts for the 900T but it seems that my phone is not detecting root correctly, so even editing the file reverts when power cycling the phone

Fix Wifi
Edit build.prop ro.securestorage.support and ro.securestorage.knox from true to false. If they are already false change to true and then back to false. Reboot.
You must fix your root issue first, before you can apply this fix...
Good luck

Thanks. I went back to custom rom with custom kernel on sm-n900w8. I will try once flash official rom. NFC not working in Custom rom.

I have the rom installed in my N900W8 and at first I was suffering from the WiFi password not saving. However after a few complete wipes both in twrm and in the data wipe service menu.
Now with 5.0 and with lean kernel my passwords save.
So there is a way for it to save and mine works.

Actually I am using your vision international ROM, works great. I flashed official rom but was too bloated and slow and video recording was not working. Your rom is awesome and fast and already debloted. Only thing not working is NFC which I don't use anyway. Great work..keep it up.
