pre 8 has been working for me
Is it a 2.2 ROM? If so, I do not believe Wireless Tether will work any longer (at least without just being ad-hoc). You do have options if you still want tethering for free. I don't have a direct link but you should be able to find something by searching. It has to do with modifying a value in the phones ##778 configuration settings.
If it's a 2.1 ROM, the suggestion above should work.
Make sure you have the android.tether fold on the root of your sd card. I am running skyraider 2.5.2 and wireless tether is working for me.

This isn't needed for the newer Pre versions however.
I've practically given up on this WiFi Tether.. it's worked for me once before, now I can't seem to get it working.
I'm running SR3.0 RC3, King #1 and S-OFF.
I've used both 3G Hot Spot on the SR 3.0 RC2 & 3, and the one from the app market... I modified the ##778 settings and still nothing... I don't see the folder mentioned above and not sure where to obtain it to try that out in my troubleshooting, but any help would be appreciated.
I'm pretty sure it's because the tethering comes standard with 2.2 and all its data usage will be connected to a plan now... I tried to use it last night to connect an iPod touch and the iPod was redirected to a page about billing information.
Well that sucks.
The ##778 method works on stock 2.2 DIncs too. I just upgraded last night, did the wifi hotspot hack and it works like a charm.
I've noticed since upgrading to SkyRaider 2.5.2, the Wireless Tether app has changed to ad-hoc and doesn't seem to work quite as well.
I've seen some suggestions to updating to "pre 8" and using codes such as this:
hxxp://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list?can=2&q=Incredible
How do you get the pre 8 version, and what do you do with the code above? I'd love to get the tether app back up to speed.

Thanks I didn't . I'll have to check it out
I'm trying to run wireless tether (http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/) on a Droid Incredible which has been updated to stock 2.2 and then rooted. I'm running wireless tether 2.0.5 pre 9 and everyting seems to work and I can connect to the phone from my laptop (running Win XP), but then I can maybe sometimes load a single web page and then I get timed out connections. It seems that DNS resolution is working as I get answers from nslookup in a command window.
Is anyone else having problems getting wireless tethering working? The web pages I've found on the subject seem to be from before Froyo came to the Dinc, even the Google project page doesn't mention 2.2.

Have not tried Wireless Tether with 2.2 since I can use the 3G Wirelecc Hotspot that comes with 2.2. All you need to do is this:
1. On your phone, bring up the dialer and dial ##778. This will load EPST.
2. Select EDIT.
3. Enter 000000 for the password.
4. Select SECURITY.
5. Select the username that has [email protected].
6. Edit the username to read [email protected] (delete "dun.").
7. Click the back button to return to the list.
8. Select M.IP DEFAULT PROFILE.
9. Repeat steps 5 and 6.
10. Click on MENU and select COMMIT.
You will not be charged for its use.
Thanks, I just tried that and got it working, but I thought that using the Google code was a little safer that it would never be accidentally switched back to paid mode.
I also noticed that when I tried to change the ssid or password that whenever I left the config screen and came back they were back to default values. Have you been able to change the 3g hotspot ssid/password?

Yu have to have a computer link first and then it will keep the settings. Do not know why they set it up this way.
Thanks, got it changed now - in fact I'm using that connection now.
Does this mean the wireless tether project is totally obsolete?

No, for those who do not have 2.2 yet, it is still an option (and a good one). Some people just like using it over the 3g Wireless Hotspot. I have used both and prefer the 3G Wireless Hotspot. I have no issues with it and get easy connects.
Is the equivalent procedure for the Droid X known yet? I've got a friend who just got his X updated to Froyo.

I do not know. Do a search for ESPT for the Droid X and see if it has a simular setup. If it does, the same changes should work for it.
Any updates on this? I'm on a rooted 2.2 incredible and wifi tether will not play with my ipad. Based upon what I've read, the issue surrounds the fact that the mac address refreshes on the app while the ipad does not like this and most ad hoc connections. I've heard that activaiton hack for the stock mobile wifi is no longer valid. Anyone else tethering?
Thanks,
Tremont
The stock 3g hack still works also wireless tether pre15 works perfect for me

I just got my DINC and installed PDAnet to thether and have found that the hotspot works, but doesn`t allow me to go to secure sites, when I do this it brings up the Verizon page for subscribing for $20. I have done nothing other than install
PDAnet( the free version).
Zexel, follow the instructions on comment #2 of this thread and you'll be all better.
I hope I'm in the correct forum...
I have rooted and flashed VirusROM on my HTC EVO 4G. I used to be able to use Sprint's Hotspot app to tether Wifi to my carputer. I was using it Thursday on the way to my in-law's place for Thanksgiving. I left and then could not get it to work again. The computer connects and the signal is at full strength but all browsers say "Page cannot be displayed" and my weather updates down load anymore. I tried using other computers/devices and all connect but none show an internet connection. I can use Google Maps, send/receive pics and videos, and use the internet on my EVO but I cannot share it. Did Sprint cut me off? Is there a setting I mistakenly changed?? I was under the impression that I can tether for free when its rooted. I even download to different tether apps and got the same results. Anybody have any suggestions? Any and all help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks in advance...

Although I am not using wifi tether, I am using the built in wireless tether through Miui. It is working flawlessly on my Mac. I suggest you change your SSID and maybe your password. If no success delete your network settings and try again.

I've never heard of Miui. I'll try that next. I already tried changing the SSID, the passwords, and even the encryption type and nothing worked...I'm gonna go back and try it all again. Thanks for the input, dude!!
Didn't know Miui was a ROM...I like the way I have everything set on Virus so I was hoping to not have to change ROM's. Thanks again though! Please keep suggestions coming, guys!

Try this link, not sure which one will work for you but the pre-14 works for me. Just try each one untill you find one that works on your ROM, sorry I can't point you to ont that I know will work on that rom. I know the link says Nexus one but they will work on the Evo just fine. Most of these act just linke a router, not an ad-hoc.

One last ditch effort, try changing the channel to channel one in one of the wireless tether app, just saw a post where this fixed the problem for some people. Good luck

Sprint's HotSpot and Wifi Tether don't give the option and Barnacle was already set on Channel 1 :/ Thanks though
Wireless tether is what I was talking about I use pre 14, just open the app and menu/settings, its the 4th option down.
I don't know how I missed that option. I went in and changed it to Channel 1 but no change...my roommate came home and sparked up his Incredible's hotspot and it worked perfectly of the bat...something has got to be wrong with my EVO
does your evo say that a device connected and does it show that anything downloaded under the wireless tether app mine used to get stuck at just over 1kb of data then i modded my framework_res.apk and somehow i can tether again
It does seem to stay on a very low KB like 1.1...although it does show the devices that are connected...
Mine did the exact same thing although im not entirely sure what I did that fixed this I edited the xml code for the notification bar and edited the notification bar which somehow caused my tethering to work

Any other thoughts?? Is there a way to test to see if the actual hardware failed?
Sorry, had this in the wrong section before.
I pulled down the files and flashed in that were linked in jcase's links. Superuser works great. Busybox is good to go. Wireless tether comes on and shows root access but the computer can't connect to it at all. Connection error each time. And now the 3G Mobile Hotspot with the applied DUN hack doesn't work either for wireless tether.
Any ideas what the problem might be?
To be clear, i did flash in the inc2 zip referenced by jcase specifically for the wireless tether. Forgot to mention that.

It works for me. I downloaded Wireless Tether from the source.
Are you trying to connect on Windows, Mac, or Linux?
Trying to connect on a Windows 7 machine. I pulled the Wireless Tether app from the source also. Wonder if I grabbed the wrong version. Let me check your link.
Tried the Mac and Windows side of the computer and neither could hook into it. I made sure PDANet was uninstalled from before, then reinstalled the Wireless Tether from your link. Still no good.
This one has me scratching my head a little bit.
Wireless tether is buggy on most phones. The drivers on your computers end can complicate things too. Just keep turning on and off access controls in the tether app as well as cycling WiFi in your computer and it should eventually connect.
Carelessly swyped on my phone so there may be some weird words
Thanks, I'll give that a run. Knew it went to easy on my original Inc when I rooted. I was due for fun.
Looks like the issue for me was the new Wireless 3 Beta. Went back and found the old Wireless 2 apk, installed, and everything is working fine. Good to go.
Thanks again for all the help on here. Y'all rock.

I was having signal go in and out at work all day yesterday, and it turns out Sprint was replacing a bunch of hardware in my area (Atlanta). Now, I cannot get wifi tether to work. My computer will connect, but it will not get internet. Wired tether works fine. I've tried the Sprint Hotspot in Calkulin's 3.0, and also the Hotspot in the ICS Goodness. I've also tried Open Garden, Wifi Tether for Root, and Fox__* (I can't remember the exact name).
It will not connect. Tried different roms, 3g/4g, resetting network ##72382# or whatever that code is, did a complete reset, tried different roms, etc.
The only thing I can conclude is that whatever Sprint updated here locally fixed this loophole for the hacked hotspot. Atlanta is an "A" market, and typically one of the first to get updated, so if this is the case, maybe nobody else is seeing it
Any ideas on what else I can try?? I need this wifi tether desperately.
have you tried foxfi?

I am not a dev, nor do I know a lot about anything. I seriously doubt changing tower hardware would "fix" a software workaround in a phone for internet sharing. I don't have an answer as to why or why not, but it sounds highly unlikely. I am speculating the two are not related.

Had this same problem about a year or so ago. Download "Root Checker" from Google Play. I forgot why but sometimes Root will be lost but your phone will say you are rooted. I don't remember the details. All you have to do is Root again if this is the case.
Try going into superuser app and updating the su binary, when mine get outdated sometimes wifi tether quits working but other root apps will still work.

Yes, no go on that one as well. No matter the program, I get the issue with my computer "unable to connect" on Windows 7, and also limited/no connectivity with Windows XP..
How can I generate a log to find out what's going on? I'm starting to get the feeling it has something to do w/ wifi driver, although wifi works fine, 4g works fine, 3g works, and wired tether works fine, I cannot get wireless tether to work with 3g or 4g..
Tried Sprint Hotspot, Wireless Tether (for root), Open Garden, Foxfi..

I agree, however, I'm assuming there's also an upgrade in software to go along with hardware changes, and they may have rolled something out at the same time. It could be a coincidence, but I've never had a problem before.

Ok, this is interesting. Do you all know if Wifi tether has always been ad hoc? I thought it used to show up as an AP in Windows.
Also, once I updated SU, my XP would connect to Wifi Tether only, but then tried the Win 7 and gave me the same "unable to connect" box. Now, neither of them work again.
Ideas? How to log, etc?
Do you all know now LAN settings would affect connectivity?
It seems Wired Tether uses 172.20.xx.xxx/30 while I believe the others were using 192.168.2.0 or 192.168.1.1, etc.
I'm in the Atlanta area (North West - Kennesaw/Acworth). I use WiFi Tether (the open source app not the built in), just tested it, I was able to connect and use the internet from my Nexus 7.

Foxfi is broken on the SE4GT since the ICS update.
Installation instructions (for Sprint Users):
1. Make sure "Unknown Sources" is checked in phone Settings (under Applications or Developer).
2. Tap on the following links to download the apk file for FoxFi.
3. From phone notifications select the downloaded file. This will install FoxFi.
FoxFi latest version: 1.91.3
*Support for the new Galaxy S3 and the new ICS update for Epic Touch are being worked on. Should be compatible soon in a future update.

As far as I know, the built in sprint hotspot is the only way to get infrastructure mode. All others are adhoc. If there is a setting for it for a profile, I think I remember reading somewhere to pick the galaxy nexus profile.
I just tried Wifi Tether in netd mode and it worked as Infrastructure. Client was Win7 x64.
Good to know too that I have a backup internet source if the main goes out. Not great but better than nothing.
