Wireless Tether

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
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

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
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

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 ...

4g connection problems. Anyone willing to help?

Hello everyone, I have a situation atm with the 4g on my evo . Just like a week ago I flashed my first Rom - myns 2.2 with kings 11. Then like a couple days later I flashed the pri to 1. 77 and baseband to.09 because they were outdated. All was good even 4g worked for a good while until today. I restart the phone and it connects but after a min or so it turns off, than I try to reconnect but it fails.
Did anyone else have this problem? And anyone that did find a solution?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

i recommend going back to the original PRI and NV. i updated to the latest and my 4G wouldnt connect, i flashed back and all is good

Will there be a problem when installing an older version of the pri? Because I had 1.40 before and now I have 1.77
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

nah.. theres a post in hacking & dev that lists all the PRI and radios, i used that.. you might just wanna go under settings. update profile and PRL. that might do the trick.. i reverted back to 1.34 from 1.70 because of download speeds.

K thanks for helping me out big time, going to flash myns rls 3 and if 4g still doesn't work ill take your advice and go to 1.34. Thanks again

if this doesnt work for you, try using the settings, not the toggle switch.
another tip is to revert back to the stock rom you did a nand backup on, and then reflash the zip file again to full the 4g along with the rsa certs, just so you dont lose them. but remember mostly sense-based custom roms are 4g capable...so far

What would cause my phone to stop being able to connect to WiFi? A radio problem?

I cannot connect to WiFi at home anymore. It just says connecting... disconnecting... searching... connecting... disconnecting... searching... over and over.
I've installed several ROMs to try to fix it, but it is true across the board, which leads me to believe that this is a radio problem. Is that correct?
However, I have the latest radio, as posted on this thread.
My radio is 2.15.00.11.19
My PRI is 1.90_003
So... what do I do?
Thank you in advance for any help, hive mind! I will contribute later...
Later.

Are you certain your passphrase, if any, is typed in correctly? Try removing the encryption from your router/wap and then see if you can connect. If you are able to connect then you will know that the encryption passphrase did not match. By the way, which rom are you currently using and what kernel. Changing to a different kernel can sometimes help.

Thanks. I am positive the passphrase is correct, because I double-checked by re-connecting my wireless printer and an iPad.
I currently have the leaked stock 2.3.3 rom installed.
You think installing another kernel could help? I might try to do that.

I've flashed that same rom the day it was leaked and everything worked so yes, switch kernels and see if it helps. Try something like Netarchy 4.3.2 noHAVs noSBC noUV.

But out of curiosity, what is it that connects to WiFi?
Is it the radio? PRI? Wimax? What is the piece of software that does it?
Thanks all.

Thats weird I have not had any wifi issues with Ice Cold from LC.

I haven't had any wifi problems with any ics or jb roms I've flashed. I already confirmed in the thread there should be no need to use the wifi fix with the new rom. Try downloading again and doing a full wipe. Also make sure your battery cover is properly placed.

After I read your question " it doesn't see any routers or only yours?", I thought I should try somewhere else.
Surprisingly it found other Wi-Fi's. That's kind of strange, isn't it?
Seems that the problem is limited to my wifi and the ones nearby it ( i.e. Wi-Fi's of my neighbors don't appear as well )
I use Whatsapp all the time on my NOKIA E72 at home with my Wi-Fi.
I was using Android Revolution HD and I had no problems with my Wi-Fi.
My NOKIA E72 have no Wi-Fi problems.
My Laptop have no problems.
You may suggest that I add my network manually, in replay I will tell you that I've already tried.

Manually? Not really, I don't know how to do that
Care to explain to me how it's done? Since every now and then I need to reset my router to connect again. Only happens with my cell.
Was it able to connect to the other routers?
Try disconnecting your other cell and pc to see what happens.
From there, the only thing I could suggest is try a different rom. I don't know what else to suggest.

Wifi issues with CM10.2 using S3 i747

Hello all, this is my first post, so if I placed it in the wrong category or you need more info, please let me know!
Anyways, I have been having a lot of problems with the latest Cyanogenmod nightlies regarding my Wifi. First off, I noticed it wouldn't auto connect to my home Wifi, as well as the one at my work. I looked deeper and I wasn't even able to remedy it with a simple turn off and turn on of my Wifi, I have to reboot the phone whenever I want to connect to a new network or reconnect if I get out of range. This is very annoying. I tried flashing an updated modem driver for my phone (I'm on bell in Canada, but it's the same as the att version) with no luck. I tried fully wiping my phone and freshly installing the latest nightly, no dice. I was just wondering if you guys could help me out!
Thanks, MickJuice

I believe it's not a custom ROM issue, It's a 4.3 issue, as multiple different ROMs based on 4.3 are having problems, and the Stock is running 4.2.2
