I don't know if the latest root method for OTA 1.47.651.1 (---==={ROOT GUIDE}===--- | 1.47.651.1 ROOT method | has been tested for Wireless Tethering. I would imagine that it doesn't make a difference... root is root, and there isn't much of anything changing on the phone AFAIK...
I've searched the forums and can't seem to find an answer.... probably because this is so new...
When WiFi is off I try wireless tethering and get an error message: Unable to start tethering, please try again. I turn on WiFi and start wireless tethering I get the same error message and WiFi turns off. I've tried this with all of the various connection types: Charge Only, HTC Sync, Disk Drive, and Internet sharing. When I try to select internet sharing, I get the following message: "Error Code 67. Registrationg failure. Your PCS Vision username and/or password may be incorrect. Please try again."
I found This How-To-Guide, which references Toast's method...but I'm curious if there's a difference between that method and the one listed above for the latest OTA.
Thanks.
[EDIT]P.S. I can confirm that WiFi does work. I can connect to local WiFi networks when they are available.

Hi.. looks like you are trying to use the buid in stock (Sprint Hotspot) tethering app.. if this is the case it will not work.. you need to root your phone and once you load a rooted ROM (ex. Fresh 0.5.3 or any other one) use the wifi tether app already included in those ROMs.. sometimes you need to reinstall the wifi app . in that case uninstall the wifi tether app and go to this address on your phone and download the latest app for the Evo. http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
hope this helps...
P.S. I attached the app from the address above to the post.. good luck
Ignore jade. He is shilling for fresh. Download the "Wireless Tether" app from the market. That will work.

I figured as much. I am not using the Sprint app. I've tried the first app listed in the android market, as well as one straight from Google that's 2.0.2. It's supposed to work for the Evo... I have the same problem with both apps.
Which connection type do I need to select on my phone?

jejeje.. I did mention any other ROM as well ....
Guess the op can ignore me if he likes but what's the point of rooting if you are not going to check out various other ROMs..
if all the OP is needing is wireless teather then he should have just gone the unrevoked route.

Not going to ignore you.... not completely. I just want tethering to work so I can test it and see if it's going to work for me. Then i'll mess with other ROMs. The stock Sprint one has too much crap in it... I hate nascar...
Pezu23
I do not know if this matters but are you using a rooted ROM ? I ask because the first time I ran thw wifi tether app it ask for super user access.. maybe you need a rooted ROM flashed on the phone before this app can work.. I have no reference point since I used the toast method to root my phone..
If you can follow toast method of rooting and unlocking the NAND.. you will still have a sprint base (rooted) ROM but this time you can delete the "Nascar app" and anything else you want..
The one in market is not the best one 2.05 pre 2 I think is the best it does infrastructure mode allowing almost any device to connect

If you tried everything, i dont see why you would not take 5 more minutes to load a new rom with wifi already in it.
I had the market version of tether installed and it works fine, but I downloaded the attached APK file (in my evo) and when I tried to open it says:
Open file error

you need to install an app like appinstaller from the market to install apps store in the SDcard..

I have the same problem. I am on stock rooted with rooted OTA's...
I did get it working with Fresh, but I was having other problems with Fresh 0.5.3 like the camera would sporadically go out. I guess I may have to reload fresh (which I really liked, by the way)
I rooted using the link in your first post then installed the newest DC rom and now the newest baked rom. Neither allows me to wifi tether (though no errors) as I dont see a network being created. Any ideas? Did I root wrong or screw up my radios?
Thanks!
cool.. ill try that..
Maybe I'm confused...
When I run adb shell I can gain root access. However, it appears as though HTC Sense (or any other launcher) is not running as root..or at least the programs launched within Sense (i.e. astro file manager, wireless tether) are NOT running as root. I can only create dirs in /sdcard with Astro File Manager...Guess I gotta figure out how to wipe and restart.
Not to complicate your current line of thought, but I don't think normal file managers can create new files in system. only programs that request su will pop up in the su app. But the wireless tether should.
I am running basically stock with the tether and it works. But there is something to be said about trying to start over
Did you guys also loose 4g signal..And i hardly have any 3g bars to tether with...Before rooting after OTA everything worked perfect....Is 3g and 4g giving yall issues?
So this morning, i was going through tons of tethering apps and i noticed alot of them do not work properly. Even when you rooted your G2. So i came across wireless tether and it was the only app that worked correctly.
this guide is NOOB FRIENDLY !!!!!! EVEN A CAVE MAN CAN DO IT ! LOL
Heres how you get it to work,
1) root your G2 . theres a one click root app called Visionary in the market. Download and install it. Before you run it, make sure USB DEBUGING IS ON !!!
2) Start the app up and press the button that say don't root on start up.
3) Once that button is pressed, the option will change to (Run on start up) and it will have a green light under it. Do not press the button again!!!! This will always root your phone every time the phone turns off and back on. It will run by itself.
4) Download/install Astro Manager
5)Download the attachment that is posted on this thread. Just below.
6) Once downloaded, Mount your phone to the computer and then copy and paste the file(which will be named app.apk) to your memory card. Now unmount your phone
7) Open up astro manager and install the file. Which should be named APP on the memory card.
8) Once installed start the app up and it will ask for super user permission. Just press allow and then you are tethering wirelessly !!!!
TETHER AWAY !!!!!!!!

What apps did you have issues with?
Here is all I did
1. Downloaded and installed VISIONary from Market
2. Downloaded and installed Barnacle from Market
3. Launched Barnacle and hit start and allowed SU permission.
4. Was tethering with my iTouch in minutes.
In the end things can be odd on different phones of the same model so options are great.
barnacle didnt work for me. It wouldnt appear on my computer on psp or ipod. it wasnt working at all.
But this method worked for me so i advise people to give it a shot

Downloaded and Installed the App to my phone. It looks like it's working but I haven't tried to connect a device to the tethered-created network.
EDIT: The tether application work fine. I'm using it atm to type this message.
Its just wireless tether

To be exact.
Its wifitether PRE-4
After you get root, just go into google. Type- wifi tether. Click first google link. Download wifi tether app. Open app, click center to tether. Press menu to go into settings. Thats it. Personally, i dont think this guy deserves donations because if you look at other threads, they tell you how or what apps you can use to wifi tether. I know this because thats how i learned

Barnacle didn't work for me either..It showed up on my laptop but wasn't able to surf...Wireless tether works fine..Make sure you get this version below because there are certain versions of wireless tether that don't work on the g2
Sorry messed up on the attachment...Here it is
Wireless Tether 2.0.1 doesn't work for me when I try wirelessly. It broadcasts successfully but I can't authenticate. It does not appear as ad-hoc and is not secure as it should be.
question; am i the only one getting a missing kernel issue?
Where did you get this "magic" app apk from? Usually citing your sources common courtesy. Also I'm not going to download an app and give it root privileges without a link to any documentation.

I definitely have root using Visionary, and downloaded the app for the first post, and it did not work. I can connect to it w my computer, but internet does not work. Which one of these apks did you download? The G2 Vision is not listed when you follow these instructions.

I usually just download the first apk. But i forgot one step. Open up app, Go into settings and click "access control" to enable it. Do NOT put a WEP encryption password. LEAVE YOUR CONNECTION OPEN!!! Heres why. When you connect your laptop to the wifi, your phone will get a notification saying (mac address blah blah) it will be red most likely. Click menu-then access control. The mac address of your said laptop or device is what the notification popped up. So go to access control and find your devices specific mac address and make sure the box next to it iz checked and you must click apply at the bottom. You just gave your laptop or device internet. If say your neighbor connects to your wifi, dont worry. The ONLY way they can get internet off you iz if you go to their mac address of their device, click the box, and then apply it as well. If you dont apply it, they dont get internet. So YOU control who uses your internet, not a password. Another reason why you dont want to set up a wep encryption iz because if you do, you wont be able to use wifi. Dont know why. Just happens. So try it for urself.
Need more help? Let me know

hi everyone i dont know if anyone here has a fix for this posted here but today i will be letting you know how to fix it and i am sorry if i offend someone by posting this but i like to help people and i belive it will work with any rooted phone but not sure so if it doesnt it work i am not held resposible for somthing you tryed but i am nota pro but this really works
so lets get started
1st: on the market there is a couple apps
2ed:
A.called su binary fix - didnt work for me but try it out
B.busybox installer - onece again didnt work for me but yet again try it out
3ed: last but not least the one that worked for me manully update it through your recovery mode
go here to get the zip file -------> www.androidsu.com/superuser/
download the one you need then boot recovery and then just flash it
then there you go your superuser binuary should be at 3.1.1
i hope this helps and thank you to the one who posted the files online lol
LOL- searched for that !
I do have to say Thank YOU-:good: Funny thing; superuser has been a bad app to me lately < bear in mind, of course, I have no clue what I'm doing and hold NO one responsable for my actions > I had finally figured how to root the phone (1st android interaction on my part, free-searched everywhere). Then, no recov opt's, etc. according to su- as you posted, it was playing a little screwy. So as I'm reading your post, I plugged it in. Lo and behold the su binary went through and updated. I saw the screen "that was cool, do it again". I said "woo-hoo"- don't care if thats corny, anything gets me psyched at this point! Still don't know if that will help- to be honest, i'm unsure of what my next step was and why I was doing that.
So Thank you, I'll know to try this if what I had was a fluke.:silly: yes, lots of silly faces, can't help- i'm excited. I'll tone it down on my next post!

Binary Update
Hello Folks,
Forgive me but I searched the forums and could not find any posts dealing with my problem.
I recently rooted my phone, Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 i545 version 4.4.2, build i545vrufnc5 using Towel Root and used Root checker to verify. Root checker states it is rooted and I am using SuperUser Elite v3.1.3 however the outdated binary notification shows outdated binary (-rwxr-xr-x is in red) and when I tap to update I get the message "downloading manifest...... fail!? When I then hit "try again" I get "unfortunately superuser has stopped" and it closes. I also downloaded SU Updater and ran it, no help. I also have Busy Box and Root Explorer and Titanium Backup installed. su binary shows v1.99:supersu (0). There are no apps showing in su and I get no prompts when adding new apps to allow or deny? I am new at this and really ready to unroot and say the heck with it. I seen several posts about downloading a zip of the file and saving to sd card. Do I need a zip program first and how do I move it to the sd card if that is the case? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
J-

Hi guys my superuser is buged, i use nxt lite v1.3 rom, and when i open any program that requires root permissions like adfree.
I open adfree, then nothing appears, then i configure adfree and do the adblock, then it says that i dont have root permissions, please guys help me fixing this!!
thanks in advanced and sorry my english :X
Try update super user if not try this https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDMsImV1LmNoYWluZmlyZS5zdXBlcnN1Il0. I found it works well when super user as problems,but follow instructions from app dev on how to uninstall the app if want to go back to super user. :fingers-crossed:
Just go to Manage apps and clear the data for the Superuser program and try again. You can look in the Superuser program and see if you didnt accidentally set to deny privilege from Adblock, you can from to Deny to Allow. If you still have problem then its compatibility issue with that specific su version and might need a downgrade. Or do that ^he said and install SuperSu which will install a different su version.

I've had a few apps tell me that I'm not rooted and my wifi tether no longer works (laptop doesnt even see the network. Tried changing and using another tehtering app and it saw it but only gave me limited connection. No internet.) but when I put SU into terminal emulator it returns #.Can someone please tell me how to check to make sure my root is still fully entact and functioning.
Try opening the superuser app.
Thanks for the fast response man. I really appreciate it.
I did and it didnt do anything so I cleared the permissions for it aaaaaaand think i made it worse. in super user I scrolled down to the wifi tether app and clicked it and hit the trash icon withouth thinking it through. IS there a way to manually add allowed apps. I also noticed SU never prompts me to allow apps anymore. Really holding up my ingress progress. lol

Just run any app that needs root and it will prompt you again. You cake also download root checker from play store.

Thank you too eles. I actually just did that and it told me I dont not have proper root access. But Terminal emulator does show # when prompted. Can either of you tell me how what may have caused this and how to fix it. I did just get the 4.1.1 update from T-mo so Im thinking maybe that.

Thanks again aero. I reflashed it and Root checker still says im not.

What would be your next step to diagnosing/fixing this. and Thanks again you guys I've been freaking out a little. lol
Just re-root.
Then reflash your favorite ROM.
How did you root in the first place?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Is it really that simple? Won't there be some issues because I have a somewhat partial root already? I honestly don't rememeber my original method. I did it back in september and havent messed with it since. I never even ran any roms I'm still bone stock. Is there a method you would suggest? or possibly a link to it?
Yes, it really is that simple.
If root still isn't working, follow instructions in my signature. The su zip is also going to wipe out any previous superuser/supersu that is present on your phone.
Alternatively, if you already have CWM on your phone, you can use this http://db.tt/okfh9vzU to update it without tripping your counter.
Thanks to your guys' help I was able to reroot using the tool kit. Now my issue is that I did this to fix my wifi tethering issue and its not. What app would you guys suggest for tethering? I dont have it on a part of myplan but I know theres ways around it. Wifi tether and barnacle didnt work (wasnt seen by laptop or other s3) and fox fi was identified, let me connect but said it was limited, then eventually went to fully connected but still wouldnt load pages or anything. If I can get one of you guys to help me solve this by suggesting an app or something I'll get out of your hair.
Do I need to load a custom rom to tether maybe? Thanks again guys.
