I have done some searching and tried several free apps and can not get this to work. I am trying to tether wirelessly my Tilt with Polymod 2.1g to a new Eken M001 android tablet. Has anyone gotten this to work?
tethering will be available on android 2.2
Did someone say 2.2?

I found an APP that will do this but can't get it to work. It si called Barnacle Wifi Tether. Can anyone try this and assist?
root required for WIFI tether
All of the apps incl barnicle need ROOT to work. 2.1 is not rooted, so it seems either return to 1.6 (like Myns warm donut) or wait for 2.2. There seems to be a hack for the other devices that involves loading a rooted 2.0 and using a custom upgrade to 2.1 but nothing for the hacked roms for Kaiser and the like. I need this infrequently so now to decide do I return to 1.6 just for that.
android wired tether
I'm running incubus's super fast eclair and have installed easytether (free version) on my computer and phone. and also installed android-wired-tether. it disconnects when downloading files sometimes but running the two apps together while in recovery mode has been my best success so far.
HOW :O

How is 2.1 not rooted then? i thought our versions were, and if not we could make them rooted.
I installed a rom that was based off the released 2.2 that was released on Friday. I had root already and everything worked fine no problem. I flashed the latest radios and wimax and really nothing else. Well today I went to use Titanium Backup and it wouldn't run; just got a black screen. got the FC message. I then tried to use QuickBoot to reboot and that also didn't do anything. I manually powered off and rebooted and still the same actions from both apps. I then tried Wifi tether and that wouldn't start the sharing. Said that it was unable to Start. I think at that point my root access wasn't working properly. I looked at the Superuser permission app and it looked ok. I then tried another app that required root called Ad-Block and it said that it couldn't get root access.
The only way to get the apps working again was to flash the same rom I flashed on Friday. All apps are working fine after the re-flash.
Anyone else have this?

That is possible. I had the same issues. To get the ad-free host files in, I had to do it in recovery mode and push the files which is like having the nand lock. I try to do some programs that require root and it reboots the phone.
anyone haev their tether working on 4.2? wifi tether, built in tether, and all other 3rd party apps dont work anymore. it was working on 4.1.2 but not on 4.2.
Wifi-tether working straight away here, I just enabled it and my computer connected straight away.
I did however install 4.2 with a full wipe, it seems people using the OTA have had plenty of bugs non of which I've experienced.

I did a clean install and wipe from 4.1.2 to 4.2 as well, re- rooted it as well and no dice. No update available from the app store either.
The built in works on mmuzzy ROM for me

Seems to be a common problem over at the Wireless Tether for Root Users development site :-/
I use it a ton and miss it badly.

any update on this? works on macs but not windows or xbox.
I was using a AOKP ROM with lean kernel (4.1.x) and wifi tethering was working fine.
I then went to 4.2.1 and 4.2.2, WiFi tethering so far has been broken.
I tried Bigxie's deoxed, tried Android Revolution HD 10.x, and Rootbox's 4.2.2 nightly 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.
The ROM flashing were a full wipe, as well as dirty wipe - made no difference.
I was using Pdanet on a USB tether and it no longer works after update. My phone is totally stock with no mods. I did a factory wipe and reinstalled everything and still a no go. PC is a Windows 7 box with all associated drivers reinstalled. Contacted June fabrics (Pdanet Dev) about it and they think its a driver issue.

I also have these threads gpoing on it. Though you will get better support here than at the Google Dev forums.

For anyone that is interested, I got an email from PDAnet yesterday that says they have fixed the problem with a new PC side software install. I don't know if this helps any of you but there is a fix out there at least for PDAnet.
Hello,
I an running stock rooted 4.2.2 on vzw gnex. I have been using wifi tether since I got the phone and now with 4.2.2 it is not working. I get started with errors warning. log shows failed to configure AP and start AP.
I tried MWALT2s disable of native tether check which seem to run fine in recovery but I still get the same errors.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2176954http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2176954
Has anyone with stock rooted 4.2.2 been able to get wifi tether working?
Thanks,

the wifi tether app no longer works but the built-in tether does. there's a copy of a modified version of wifi tether floating around (actually, in this Q & A forum thread!) that some are saying does work but I have not tested it myself (yet)
{edited to add} well, I just installed the hacked version of wifi tether and it works perfectly. the link to it is here in the Q & A thread so you should be able to find it. you will need "unknown sources" checked to allow it to install...
I just recently upgraded my GS3 to the newest baseband and firmware. I also updated my current ROM (Dandroid).
Now when I try to use the WiFi Tether for Root app, it just says "Tethering Started with Errors". The app will then saying it is running but it's SSID will not show up on any of my devices.
Does anyone know what the problem is or have another app they use for WiFi tether?
