Quick question: Is anyone else having trouble with the WiFi Tether for Root Users and/or the built-in hotspot on Cyanogenmod 6.1 RC4? I've wiped, reflashed, fixed permissions and nothing seems to make it work. I know I'm missing something that's obvious to everyone else. BTW, both work fine on the stock rom with root & bacon bits.
I gotta be doing something stupid. Can someone help?
Thanks!
you'll get a better/faster response if you ask in the CM rom's thread.
cm6.4 includes a custom version of wifi tether therefore it causes problems with the wifi for root
Use Barnacle.

Hi
I just want these 3 without losing sense
what should i do?
thx a lot for any help
Wifi tethering isn't working yet. You'll have to hold on for that.
For the other two, install Paul's default ROM - it's just rooted stock, so it'll be identical to what you had. Install Apps2SD and Titanium Backup on that.
I'm not a professor like our buddy above, but I can definitively say that Wireless Tether (downloaded from market) works like a charm.
Furthermore there are ROMs like AhmgskMod Sense Rom v1 (you'll find this rom here in the xda forum) that have it already built in...
Erriko, can you actually connect to it with another device, get an IP address, and surf web? As far as I'm aware, only ahmgsk supposedly has it working, and haven't seen much verification of that.
They actually just got it working, with an ugly hack.

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.
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,

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.

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.
Looking for a Wif Tether App.. I have checked out a few threads and havent found any. QBking77 has one on youtube but the link didnt work. Anyone know where i will be able to get one?
Sprint GS3 Rooted. 4.3 (knox Disabled)
Just flash the MK3 hacked native hotspot from android development forum.
Changed from a stock rom I can not get wifi tether to work
Hello, I need some help please. I have just installed the slim bean rom on my samsung s3 from sprint. I have used wifi tether for years prior to this i only had one problem prior to when i changed phones. But i managed to get it working. But now i can not get it to work. I have went to the newest version to the 2.1, I can get to where it loads with no errors but it does not broadcast, I have tried installing different scripts, to see if it will work in the background but still no luck. I have read all the android websites with issues and i have tried every setting that has worked for others and i still can not get it to work. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
