Hi,
I rooted my EVO (temporary root using z4root 1.3). Installed wireless tether from market. Not sure of the version. Ran with defaults. Could not see the device from GTAB. Tried my notebook I am able to see and connect to my device but no internet. Network status says limited or no connectivity. Upgraded wireless tether to latest experimental version from google site.. still the same result. (wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre15.apk). I know my phone is rooted as I get messages saying I am super user.
1)Whats the wireless tether version that is working for others on EVO?
2)Is there any other setup needed on the EVO for this to work ?
thanks

I just rooted my Evo, using the unrevoked method, and my main reason for doing so was to be able to use the Google WiFi tether app.
The root appears to be successful by all counts, but after installing the WiFi tether app, I cannot use it. I get an error saying "Unable to start tethering" and this is even after using the very latest v2.0.2 build from 6/12.
Anyone else run into that? How can I fix it?
Thanks in advance,
-R
Run unrovoked again, make sure its rooted for sure and that the superuser is in the app list. I ran into the problem before, and for some reason the superuser wasnt working correctly.
I use this with unrevoked. Tethers two simultaneously.
Has wpa security.. It's also fun. lol
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.

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.

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?
I've been scouring forums trying to find an answer, hoping someone can help.
I've got a rooted Sprint Note II running Android 4.4.2 and I can't get any version of wifi tethering to work.
I tried the X Tether xposed module (with a bunch of different settings) and TrevE Mod of course doesn't work.
I tried to purchase Fabio Grasso's WiFi tether router (which I saw many times in my forum searches) but playstore on my phone says it's not supported for my device and won't let me download it.
I was able to purchase and install it on my Note Pro 12.2 tablet, but couldn't get an APK to transfer over to my Note 2. The apk downloader chrome extension only works on a computer, not on the android version of chrome (as far as I can tell) so I couldn't get it that way either.
I honestly forgot which ROM I flashed, but it was either Diamond Rom v6.0 or Alliance-NE2-Build_1 (pretty sure it was the latter)
I'm willing to flash another ROM to get this to work. Not sure what to do, but I really want tether working again, especially since my tablet is the wifi only version.
Any tips?
rwilco's rom's been working fine with tethering for me:
