Please help! All suggestions are welcome.
After flashing OMJ's 2.2 ROM on the first day of its release (knowing that wireless tether would not work), something has been preventing wireless tether from working in all ROMS.
I have tried everything I know (which is not much)... different combos of radios and wimaxes, several different ROMs (based off both 1.3x and 1.4x), different kernels... nothing can get it working.
I am guessing that there may be data somewhere that did not get wiped through recovery or through doing my nand restore.
Thanks!
There are a couple different updates for the Wireless Tether app floating around. Versions 2.0.5 pre 4, pre 5, and pre 6. I've had success with all of them varying by rom. Can't post the links right now, but some of the rom threads have them posted in the OP. You'll probably have to try each one til you find the one that works. One of them should.
[EDIT] I think there's a pre 7 also.

wireless hotspot for 3g works fine on cm6. it's a 2.2 aosp rom. no sense. don't ask about including sense. won't happen. 4g currently doesn't work, and i'm not sure that a 4g hotspot will, because sprint's implementing a MAC confirmation with 4g hotspot (they really wanna charge you 30 bucks a month for it).
but, 3g hotspot works fine on cm6 2.2. that's my point. that's all there is, don't ask for more.
other roms have 4g functioning, so i'd assume 4g hotspot works on those, if you pay for it.

I know pre7 works on my ROM and most other Froyo ROMs.
Pre7 only works on the HTC stock kernels iirc. If you're using an oc kernel please try the other versions listed of it doesn't work for you

yea the pre 7 works, you can jus google it like i did
sorry that I did not make this clearer in the original post but I have indeed tried all of the different wireless apps (including pre 7) with a variety of ROMs and nothing is working.
The problem I am focusing on is that I originally had wireless tether working on fresh 1.01 (based off 1.47), I created a nand backup, flashed OMJ's 2.2 ROM, then when I restored back to the Fresh ROM my wireless tether was kaput.
None of the combinations of different version of the app, ROM, kernel, radio, and wimax (and I have probably tried 50+ unique combinations over the past week) have provided any working results.
I even went through the entire ROOT process again, and still nothing is working.
EDIT: What I'm trying to emphasize here is that once I flashed a 2.2 ROM wireless tether stopped working on ALL ROMs... even the 1.3x and 1.4x based ROMs
I have the same problem... the program starts just fine but the download data amount gets stuck at . 4 and my laptop can't find the connection at all. Had OJ Rom and now running latest version of fresh... please help!

Well I installed the pre-8 version of wireless tether and it worked one night and then I had the same problem... I'm using easy tether now until I can get this thing working again. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Two weeks later and I still have not solved this... any help?
Wireless Tether is working fine for me.Fresh 3.0.1 w/Netarchy Kernel 4.0.3 and pre-8 tether .apk

I understand that for nearly everybody wireless tether IS working. However, given the ludicrous number of combinations I have tried, including everybody's latest and greatest app/ROM/kernel it is safe to say that my problem does not lie in the use of something out of date.
I need NEW suggestions from someone way more experienced than myself.
pretty weird - mine has worked on every rom I've tried.
have you tried CM6?
Also where exactly are you getting stuck?
im having the same problem tried pre 8 now 7 both say activating wifi interface failed, starting access point -failed,
Tether working fine, except I can't watch espn videos for some reason.

try this maybe
Had the issue after running ava v3.
Wipe everything, data cash, dalvik. Dont flash your previous radios or wimaxs, they arent for froyo. Once everything is wiped flash your new rom. Evio 1.1 works great. When you open wifi tether, it should ask you for user permission, if it doesnt somethig is wrong with your su app.
We need more details about your issue. Otherwise all anyone can suggest is wipe everything and flash another rom and try runnig the app. Or like someone else suggested uninstall and reinstall verious versions. But the first time you run wifi tether super user should pop up, if it doesnt this is what is preventing u from running wifi tether.
I'm sorry I did not specify exactly what was happening, but I thought that since this was a well known error for the early adopters of 2.2 people would be familiar with the nature of my problem.
When I put ANY rom on my evo (regardless of whether it's 2.1 based or 2.2) my wireless tether program does not send data. The app itself works fine (gets SU request), creates a network, it just doesn't transmit data because of the authentication Sprint worked into froyo.
My UNIQUE problem, is that this problem persists even when not using those early 2.2 roms. I have tried HUNDREDS of variations of radios/wimax/app editions/ROMs/kernels (including the latest releases) and it does not matter what I do, when I start up wireless tether it stops at .4kb and will not transmit the connection to my computer.
I have gone beyond wiping all of my data (through amon recovery), I even went back tot he 1.3x RUU and went through the whole root process AGAIN and still the problem persists.
There is something on this phone that the data wipes are not removing that is blocking this function, and I do not know how to revert it back. PLEASE HELP.
ive got mine working but its alot slower then even dialup..tried 7 and 8 and same results with both.. Tried on the AC rom and a stock rooted here (using a stock rooted off this forum which the op says works fine for him ...
Hey guy my wireless tethering wont work for my newly installed skyraider 2.5.2 sense. My computer wont connect to my phone. I even have the bin file in the android.tether folder on my sd card. Thank you for any help.
Describe the symptoms. It took several tries for me to get it working, which included rebooting the phone, entering my WPA key twice in Wireless Tether's settings to get it to "stick", and rebooting Windows (Win 7's damn wireless is as flaky as XP's). I kept getting an error that my key was invalid, or "not recognized", or whatever the hell Win 7 tells you.
Once I got it connected once, though, it has worked flawlessly a couple of times since.

My phone won't broadcast the signal. It broadcasted it once but my computer said it couldn't connect to the internet. I just updated to 2.5.2 sense last night. I updated from the leaked ota. The wireless tethering worked with the leaked ota. The leaked ota wasn't froyo it was the update for 720p recording.
Also I never updated my radio when I updated my phone from the 2.1 leaked ota to sky raider 2.5.2 sense. Is the radio needed for anything
Another question. When I went from the ota 2.1 rooted to skyraider 2.5.2. Do I need to to root again?

If you read the Skyraider post it says to rename the WT folder and to download the WT updated apk which He has posted on the post itself.

don't think so. once you root, you are rooted until you un-root it. Just run titanium backup and save everything, flash the rom, download TB and restore all your apps.
Follow the "Tethering out of the Box" section of the Wiki found here: Droid Incredible Wiki and the WiFi Hotspot feature included with SkyRaider will work and Verizon will not charge you a dime extra.
I had non working GPS (5 minute lock) / 4G (Scan forever even with other roms) / and USB connect not connecting on your computer I have a simple fix
Find this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773444
This is stock sprint rom with rooted
Use RAMON recovery and wipe data/cache/dalvik/battery/screen rotation
Flash to stock sprint rom
After doing that my GPS locked before my google maps could even load correctly, my 4g connected immediately 12MBs speed test (Houston, Texas)
And my computer recognizes and actually doesn't drop my phone
It may not work for everybody but it definately works for me
After this I decide to flash to another rom. i don't like paying 10 bucks a month for 4G and not use it. Vaelrom ^^
Last time I checked, there is no 4g in CM6...did I miss something here?
lol
So this activates 4g in cm6? which nightly!?
CM6 does not provide 4G at this time. nothing you can do to fix this unless you can code.
it's AmonRA (like the egyptian god) not RAMON (like noodle)
so basically the OP is giving you this suggestion..
1) always read the First Post for any ROM you want to play with.
...often common issues are listed there...or you can search the thread
2) do a nandroid
...dont forget to delete the old old nandroids...they do take up space
3) if you are having issues...do a full wipe and try a different ROM.
...because we all like a lil strange now and then
(ok..the first two suggestions are mine)
And for all those who don't like their current ROM, I have a fix for that as well...
try a different ROM. It may not work for everyone because the new ROM may not be as cool the one you just had, but it worked for me. Problem solved!
Howdy folks. So I had a hardware 0003 Evo prior to my current 0004 due to an insurance claim. I was running the latest stable CM7 and could tether it to my XP laptop without problems. However...
Now, with my new device Windows will not recognize the device at all as a RNDIS network adapter. I have tried the tetherxp.inf that worked fine, tried HTC Sync, and neither have compatible drivers that will work. The device shows up but after the drivers are installed Windows says the device cannot start. I have plenty of OS experience and have worked with drivers in the past...but for whatever reason it just wont work. The wired tether app has the same problem. I won't use PDAnet.
I've read several forum topics pertaining to this issue and none of the suggestions seem to do the trick. Even modifying the tetherxp.inf doesn't produce.
Does anyone know of a way to get this sucker to fire? I'm on CM7 N214 with Tiamat 4.0.8 kernel and Amon_RA's recovery...if it matters. No roms I've tried thus far make a difference. Thanks in advance!

Ive recently installed the MOAR MB1 ROM on my Sprint GS3 and its Awesome, everything seems to work but for some reason I CANNOT get the Wifi-Tether to work. The app runs and it all seems to VISUALLY be working but when i search for the SSID with my tablet or Laptop I cant find the network. Ive tried it Tethering as a locked and open network and the same problem persists. On the phone screen it shows upload and download speeds as usual but the net work cannot be found by other devices. If anyone has any info or the same problem please let me know , I love this ROM and dont want to get rid of it but Wifi-Tethering is a big part of my day so if I cant get it to work I will have to go back to another ROM. Thanks in advance.
Are you sure it flashed right? Try flashing it again, also check the roms md5sum to make sure it matches what the download site gives
Re flash a kernel. Might solve the problems
Make sure you went into tether app settings and selected device type as S3. If you have then just try to remove the app, reboot phone and reinstalling the app itself. Which can be found here ;
