Unlocking tether on stock

I am going to root my friend's phone, but I don't really want to flash a custom rom. I'm sick of being people's personal tech support guy. His main interest is wireless tethering. Is there a way to unlock hotspot on the stock rom? Thanks

I'm not sure, but I would flash a rooted stock rom for him and then have him download the free wireless tether app from the Market.

The only one I like is "wireless tether for root users" and it doesn't work on the evo..

Yes, it does. I've used that app as my primary internet source when I lived in North Carolina last year ad earlier this year and I have an EVO 4G and was using it with the Wireless Tether app.

On sense or aosp?

Sense. On AOSP, I cannot get it to work with Gingerbread. There is a workaround but I have never tried it.

Ok ill give it a go. Haven't tried it with sense. I used it on my hero for months running cm7 with no problems but no dice with the evo. I even contacted Mueller and downloaded the latest version from Google code..

I just rooted my friends EVO a few weeks ago and left the stock Rom. The wireless tether app is working fine.

Wireless tethering
I believe you need a kernal which allows WT, try Lithids HTC Evo 4G Freedom-v0.9 Kernel Universal. Download WT right from Google on your phone.

OMG...
I spent an hour messing with the internet setting of my 2 PC's trying to get them to surf. Then desided to do a search and found this post.
Thank you!!

You actually don't need a custom kernel.....
The hotspot hack works natively once you hack framework.jar.
And the wireless tether app only requires superuser permissions to work.

sprint hotspot error

hey guys ive been trying to get my hotspot to work on this phone its new to me im coming from an evo 4g i had everything working great with the evo but my e4gt just doesnt want to allow me to tether for some reason. im running blazer rom and when i try to activate the hotspot i get an error message the same happens with caulkins rom also i have been unable to get any version of wifi tether to work either my question is why my kernel is ek02 does this kernel not support the hacked hotspot? i appreciate any help i can get with this.

I'm not sure about wifi tether but why not use the hacked sprint hotspots app? That would work.

This phone does AD-hoc and not infrastructure..... Evo did infrastructure but hardly any new phones do now.... If you want to connect via infrastructure you will have to use hacked sprint hotspot

What does the error say or what happens when u open it?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium

There's no message it says error in the little checkbox when you try to turn it in and then it turns back off
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

You usually get that error when you are on stock and have not signed up for Hotspot service. Are you sure you are on a Custom Rom?
And Sprint Hotspot is infrastructure mode

I had that problem numerous times...I had to redownload the rom. You have a corrupted download. Hope that helps.

Wifi Tether 4.1 Jelly Bean

Has anyone got this to work?

I uninstalled Wifi tether and used the built in hotspot. Worked fine after a reboot.

Oh boy, you posted this in the wrong place

What about the carrier check?

Yup, the wrath of khan is about to come down on this misplaced thread

The built-in tethering works fine for me. I guess since Verizon hasn't touched this ROM the hotspot works as Google intended.

You have to sign up for hot spot to be able to use it. If you haven't added this to plan, it won't work. Therefore, its free.

can you collaborate your answer?

I have tried using the built in hotspot, and my iPod seems to connect to it (puts a check mark), but it never gets the signal bars in the status bar, and doesn't actually gets internet.
I have also tried the newest version of wifi tether, beta 14 from their website, but it won't even show up as a network using that.
Does anyone know of a way to get wifi tether to work on jelly bean?

The built in Wi-Fi hotspot works well for me. JB v3 with Franco 217. 4G on with WPA2 security to Windows 7 on my MacBook. All sorts of things running unintended software, and it all works like a charm. =)
Edit: VZW Galaxy Nexus
Edit2: I don't pay for tethering, but it shouldn't matter, as I'm data-capped either way.

Hmm, maybe it's an issue with the rom I am on, or the kernel it has. I am running on vanir v5, and it has a 3.0.31 popcorn kernel.

I am so fustrated with rmobile that im actually considering leaving the company for sprint so i can get my unlimited tether and its a shame because i loved tmobile in the past
And to answer everyones question i have tried rooting and a few custom roms and probably every app out there that i can think of to tether

I guess because it doesn't use an app for tethering but its built into the settings

i had problems before getting redirected to tmobile's site while tethering with my laptop, all i had to do was download a user agent switcher addon for firefox and changed it to a mobile device and it worked again. seems they block regular http connections only. https will work fine without switching the user agent. only downside to changing the user agent is all the sites will load as the mobile versions which can get annoying at times.
then again this was back in november so it might be different now? haven't had to use it since then..
