Wi-Fi tether problem

Galaxy s3 stock rom rooted and debloated using titanium.
I've tried WiFi tether for root users, foxfi, and barnacle. I can see the ssid but won't connect to internet.
Using barnacle it gives the error "WIFI: Could not set ad-hoc mode of wlan0: Operation not supported on transport endpoint"
I've searched and came up with no luck. Any help would be great.

Are there any files in root explorer I should be looking at or need modified maybe?

Huh? There's the built in T-Mobile tether app that works perfectly already. Why bother with those 3rd party apps?

Because On Some T-moibile Plans TETHERING ISN'T FREE or tethering is not an option if youre on the unlimited plan.

Well that issue wasn't stated in the original question so my dumbfoundedness was actually founded. The question should have mentioned the reason was to skirt normal tethering detection by the carrier if that was the case.

Really? The only reason people have ever used those apps is to circumvent carrier tethering restrictions.

With WiFi tether for root users you need to press menu > settings
Then set device profile to galaxy s 3 (it's at the bottom of the list.)

OpenVPN?

Is there any way I can get openVPN support on the gNex (Specifically the Verizon one). Are there any mods or something out there? I can't seem to find any ROMs that support it.
EDIT: I know I tried out a ROM a while ago that supported it, but I can't seem to remember which one it was

Nooooooo.... you don't even need root to use it anymore. This works so much better than the root alternatives, been using OpenVPN on my phones since I was using a nexus one. after trying pretty much every single possible solution, I found this one to be drastically more stable than anything else, plus you can use it on a totally stock phone.

The root solutions (even my my galaxy nexus) did weird things to my connection and overall stability of the phone itself, usually requiring a reboot to flush the DNS cache or whatever.
For the last month or so, I have been using l2tp/ipsec/psk instead, seems to be miles ahead of openvpn in terms of a "headache-free" experience. I was also suprised to find out that tmobile does not block l2tp/ipsec (at least for me anyways)...of course its also a giant pain in the rear to set up properly.

You need to install openvpn from market:

and the tun.ko modules (rooted device?):

WiFi tether aosp rom

I'm on liquidsmooth and I've tried the trevemod WiFi tether as well as the one in the play store and every time it starts it says started with errors unless I change the setup to netd(master) but then it still doesn't even show up on my tablet. Any suggestions?

I had the same issue but stopped and restarted it a few times setting up ssid and password and it did eventually showed up.

Make sure you are using SuperSU as opposed to any other superuser app, I can confirm this is a requirement. Also grab the Treve version, clear app data and try to start it with 100% default settings.

You can just use the built-in wifi tethering with AOSP ROMs. No need to install anything extra. Works great.

Wifi hotspot/tethering Updated

I am currently running jedi 14 tmo version well I am being blocked from using mobile hotspot. Is there a guaranteed work around? Or app? I have unlimited data but I dont have tethering on my plan. If I switch to a non tmobile rom like jedi x14 would that help? Would I still have access to 4g and lte? Thanks to anyone and everyone that can assist.
Update: I installed treve mod and switched some settings, as well as I installed hotspot vpn sheild from the play store. I will post the link to the thread for what I used for settings and I just tethered to my tablet and it works. Also I just tried access control for when tethering to my ps3 helps alot, once enabled click on the ps3 connection.
Thread for settings http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044225
Make sure to install and run hotspot sheild vpn first before running the treve wifi tethering mod apk

I think the only possible way to go around an upsell page is the user agent method. For a tethering app, use treves mod tethering app

The only sure fire way is vpn / tunneling to prevent them from seeing where your data is being used. Look up sshtunnel app on the market and set up an ssh server at home. Costs absolutely nothing, and very effective. Tmobile can still see what you are doing when you change a user agent change. If on a windows pc tethering, you just need puttyssh and set up whatever browser to use a proxy. Ssh tunnels basically create a socks proxy to connect through, and offer rsa encryption of all data.

Unfortunately its not that easy as I dont think the PS3 has either ssh or vpn capabilities. It is possible using another computer to act as a proxied gateway ( With all of its ports redirected through the tunnel ) , but, its not easily explained.
Just googled and found this.
https://www.my-private-network.co.uk/knowledge-base/other-systems/ps3-proxy.html
Similar setup but with using your own server and software rather than theirs
You still need a server running somewhere remotely that you can pipe your connection through.

Great input Pyraxiate. I'm doing my homework today since I'm not a vpn expert by any stretch of the imagination. Just to clarify you mentioned settting up the "server at home" which seems backwards to me since it is the incoming internet service of T-mobile which I am trying to tether to. so wouldn't the server be my GN II celly and the client be My PC?
Help me understand if you have the time.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated in advance.

Is there a way to report a different MAC address on stock android?

Hello everyone,
I recently bought a new Nexus 7 tablet. Unfortunately, my place of employment does not allow Android devices to be hooked up to the internal network, which is MAC restricted (its BS, I know). One of the IT guys was nice enough to add my Nexus phone to the network but he is not around anymore. So the only way I can get internet access on my tablet at work is to report the same MAC address that is on my phone or laptop. Is there a way to do this? Thanks!

I doubt it. The mac address is the physical address for the device. I'm sure it's not possible to alter.

Have you tried the Linux command to change mac address.. You will need root and busybox.. Though I have never tried it but it may work..
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4

You would have to tweak the kernel code to get this working.

Hmmm interesting. I assumed it would be easier to change. It is quite simple to do in Windows. Thanks anyway!

MacMan and Mac Address Ghost are not supporting 4.3 yet.
But there is one supporting 4.3.
Search and try app called Mac Spoofer on play store.
It works on my Nexus 7 2013.

I have some questions about your setup.
Are you using stock android or a custom ROM?
and which superuser app are you using? i.e. supersu, koush's
Never mind. I am running stock 4.3 and I can confirm that https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jworksbr.macspoofer

I don't know if they can block a MAC based on Android. I'm in IT and it is easier to block all and only allow approved devices such as PCs and Laptops.
Unless you copy the MAC of your PC or something but they'll detect 2 MACs from 2 different PCs.
Your best bet is to grab another WiFi dongle for your PC and download a WiFiRouter program to share. Or a 4G cellular card.
Just be careful.

Yes but I tried an address that is not blocked and it didn't work. I got it working though with a different app.

Could be that the device must be rebooted after the MAC is changed in order for all network components to recognize the change. Don't know it that has been tried.

No that wouldn't work at all. A reboot reverts all changes to stock.

But i was able to spoof the mac address before with the exact same model of device. Cant see what has changed.

Use ifconfig and macchanger commands, setup a script to run then when your company's bssid is in range, then reboot or use another script to change it back.
This is assuming those commands work. I'm not sure. That is just how I do it in backtrack on a pic.
