Ok i realize from my research that the stock kernel on the HTC incredible doesn't support wifi tethering in infrastructure mode, only ad-hoc.
I swear i had it working at one point, but now can't seem to get it to work with my ipad "unsupported network" as well as my work computer when at the airports because of an IT security policy put in place.
Lastly I also installed the latest skyraider rom without the leaked radio (2.x)
Questoins:
1. What kernel can i use to get wifi tethering working in "infrastructure mode"?
2. I thought the skyraider rom would do this?
3. Are kernel and Radio the same thing?
Thanks,

1. It doesn't matter, download the 2.0.5-pre7 or higher release at http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
2. The ability to tether is not ROM-dependent
3. No
Seems to be working thanks. I went there before, and had the latest release with no luck. Is there a way to tell on the tether app if its in infrastructure mode vs ad-hoc?
thanks again,

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.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
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

i am using netarchy 3.7.6 for froyo. Is there another one that enables wireless tethering?
I have searched XDA and SDX to no avail. I seem to have opposite problem of everyone else in that Wireless Tether (2.0.5-pre8) will only work on 4G, and not 3G. When I try to connect over 3G, the network appears on my PC and I’ll get notification that network is connected, but it doesn’t actually connect to the internet. After a few seconds an error will pop up over PC network icon reading “No Internet Access.” Tether works flawlessly over 4G however.
This is my current setup:
Latest Build: 3.30.651.3 rooted odexed
Kernel: [email protected] 18-2 #17
Latest Radio, WIMAX, PRL,PRI
I have tried almost all of the different versions of Wireless Tether with the same results. And I know WT used to work over 3G, but I have flashed so many different ROMS/kernels I don’t remember which setup allowed this.
Native Hotspot app shows 67 registration failure over both 3G and 4G
have you tried the pre13 release? pre8 is old
wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre13.apk,
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre13.apk&can=2&q=Evo
Yeah, that's one of the versions I already tried w/same results. I suspect problem lies not in tethering app, but somewhere in my phone.
when your computer is connected and showing no internet access does your phone have access at that time?
are you using juice defender?

Try Calkulin's USB tether fix. You can look it up here http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...ghlight=Calkulin's+USB+tether+fix#post8795414
post #356 or download it here
http://www.mediafire.com/file/4y1l9c6ydg7027r/Calkulin's_EVO_2.2_USB_Tethering_Fix.zip
I do run Juice Defender, but have disabled it with same result. As far as phone still having connection while PC does not, I haven't checked that part yet. I'll check that tonight after work.
I thought Calkulins Tether fix was for deodexed ROMs only? That was going to be my next step, d/ling deodexed version of my existing ROM and applying this fix.
Is it possible latest HTC kernel is culprit? And this raises another question: I thought a modified kernel (with ip and binary files?) was necessary to run WT? How is it I'm able to tether through 4G on supposedly stock HTC kernel?
Here is link to current build:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=836728
I just checked, and phone does still have 3G connection while PC does not,i.e., I can surf the net on native phone browser while PC cannot. It just shows "limited access" above PC wireless connection icon.
Thought I had it fixed; I was wrong.
You don't have user access control on blocking your pc?
Try the deodexed version wifi and then usb tether.
Have you tried custom roms or are purposely staying with 3.30.651.3 builds?
NOW I fixed it:
Restored Nandroid backup of earlier odexed 3.29.651.5 build with [email protected] #10 and WT works as it should on both 3G and 4G.
Hopefullly this thread will help anyone else experiencing similar with latest build and kernel.
Thanks to all who responded!
I have been having the exact same problems, so now im currently trying to find the 3.29.651.5 build with [email protected] #10 since i didn't do a backup.
It seems to be a problem with the stock 3.30.651.3 build.
(~-_-)~
I think this is the one I originally used
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819838
Disregard Earlier This is the One
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=699847
This ROM incorporates the latest Software version 3.29.651.5 with some developer applications (root, busybox and flash_image).
Updated kernel to 2.6.32-15-g0f673ed ([email protected] #10)
FWIW, I am using Wireless Tether 2.0.5-pre8 and am getting d/l speeds of 4-5 mb/s and u/l speeds of 1-1.2 mb/s over 4G on my PC, so I see no need to try a later version of WT.
YMMV, but if it works this well, why f**k with it?
But see my related post
http://forum.sdx-developers.com/index.php?action=profile;u=2063;area=showposts
I haven't been in area w/o 4G since latest tweaks, so I don't know if above will still break my 4G connectivity as described in above post. Just be sure to have a Nandroid b/u through Amon Ra 1.8 so you can restore your 4G if above breaks it.
Hi guys,
The first thing I did when I got my Nexus is root the phone and install the wireless tether for root users. It worked fine the first few times I ran it, but now whenever I hit start tether it starts up and mentions I should check the error log. At this point the tether has failed to broadcast a network even though the app thinks it's working, and everything is ok in the error log except these 3 steps:
Setting ad-hoc mode
Setting essid
Setting channel
These 3 flag as failed, I have tried other wifi tethering apps and get basically the same result where they won't start up or they start but fail to broadcast.
My wifi works fine, I can connect to networks via wifi without any issues, but I'm really stumped as to why the tethering has stopped working.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm running the stock ROM still as root while I wait for a good port of the forthcoming CM9, so if someone wants to suggest a stable, fully working ROM to flash in the meantime that's fine too
An update, I flashed a couple of different roms and this issue has now persisted accross all of them. Nobody has any experience with the same problem?
do you have the most recent version of wifi tether?

As far as I'm aware yes, it is also failing to work with other wifi tethers (have tried barnacle tether which does exactly the same thing)
I'm starting to think it might be hardware somehow, but other than this the wifi works fine for connecting to networks.
Hello all,
I'm planning to go back to 4.1.x (AOKP milestone 1) since the WiFi tethering on 4.2.x is broken.
I still have the AOKP flashable zips and gapps. Do I just simply copy the ROM and GAPPs to the root of my SDCARD (when mounted via USB on my PC) and start flashing away when in recovery mode?
I now the 4.2.x has a different file structure compared to thd 4.1.x so I'm hoping that the contents of the SDcard root (seen via the PC when connected to the USB) will not be deleted when I flash back to 4.1.x.
Is my understanding of flashing back to an older ROM correct?
Thanks.
WiFi tethering isnt broken on 4.2. Maybe it is on the ROM you are using but it has worked fine for me on CM 10.1 and Carbon ROM. But if you want to go back, I cant say for sure what will happen to your files since I have never downgraded. I assume your personal files on your "SD Card" will be safe and will be there after downgrading though.
I tried Bigxie's deoxed, tried Android Revolution HD 10.x, and Rootbox's 4.2.2 nightly including both official releases with the same result where WiFi tethering doesn't work. In my case, the client that is trying to connect will connect, IP is assigned but it won't be able to access the internet.
As of yesterday, I also tried Muzzy's ROM with the same result. I'm hearing that 4.2.2 changed how the tether flag is set, and gives the carrier more control over it.

Hmm. I'm not sure. I am on Verizon. I dont know if another carrier would cause problems with it.
Thanks for the repsonses JS. I'm still googling away to find out any more fixes. Worse comes to worse, I may just rever to 4.1.x.
I used bigxies deodexed until rasbean 4.2.2 was released and tether regularly with no issues on either. My N7 just works, for my laptop I have to set security to WPA2, on open or WPA it won't gain internet access. Have you tried that?

It's working just fine on me gnex. CM10.1
Thanks, I will look into rasbean 4.2.2.
I tried setting the WiFi tethering to open, WPA and WPA2 with the same results. It connects to my phone, but no internet connection.
I'm beginning to think this may have been set/limited by my carrier recently.

I was looking at that ROM too. Looks like I'll be busy tonight and will do some ROM flashing.
Thanks all.

I borrowed a friend's SIM card, installed it in my GN and enabled wifi tethering and it works. It looks like it has something to do wtih my current carrier.
My assumptiom that it worked on 4.1.x and stopped working on 4.2.x may have coincided with their wifi tethering policy changes.
Now I can stop looking for that special ROM. Case closed.
Has anyone gotten wifi tethering to work in the stock 4.3 ROM. I'm using the Deodex version that was recently posted but I can't get wifi to work. The Sprint wifi that worked previously in the Rooted Stock ROM (4.1 I think) worked fine but now it asks for a SIM Card. I tried to download the latest version of Wifi Tether but it doesn't look like that is working either (starts with errors and nothing connects)
Does anyone know the right settings to use for Wifi Tether to get it to work or what the latest wifi/hotspot option is?
