Wifi tethering not working for me on stock or cm10

Ok I am on the new unlimited data plan that just came out. I was rooted on the stock rom.
T mob pushed me a text last night saying wireless tether has been blocked for me. I was using the wifi tether app from the play store and it seems I cant use it. I also tried foxfi and its not doing anything.
So I flashed cm10 thinking I could get around it and I saw I couldnt tether still with it?
Edit using uvlh2 radio
Was still using stock kernal
Any ideas guys?

Which radio/baseband are you running? If you've updated to the newest leaks, ie. LI2 or LI3...somehow wifi tethering isn't working. But i've gone back to LH2 and everythings good.

I had the WiFi Tether App v3.1 beta working on H2 on ICS. It will not work on any JB with the same radio.
On frosty's JB ROM, hotspot in settings wanted to start up, but it immediately tried to get me to upgrade to tethering plan - and then would close when I wouldn't.
It only FC'd on Xquizi JB, and the beta will not work there either. The beta had worked on the ICS ROM's I had tried - including Xquizi's. Did not use it enough to be sure TMo would not block it though.

Are you saying it functions but ur getting the upsell page? If that's the case the baseband shouldn't matter. They block ur tethering based on your user agent. Make sure ur not using internet explorer. Best way around it is Firefox w/ the user-agent switcher add-on.

I'll keep that in mind. I however had the text from t mob saying its been blocked. It can still connect to the net but I get the up sell page.

Why do you say that? I have CM10 + stock kernel and baseband and the wifi tether app works great.

OP's problem is different. His T-mobiles fault. I have been running into it too. Here is how I am currently working around it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1883120&page=4
I am still looking for a better solution.

WIFI TETHER on JELLY BEAN (FAKE)

So the title says it all!
This is aimed at us GS3 owners who are fortunate enough to be running Jelly Bean thanks to Freeza...Well one of the down sides of the LJ7 JB update is that WiFi Tether no longer works for us! What a shame!!
Well I may just have a solution that will make you and your phone very very happy.
Follow the steps below:
1) Download WiFi Tether app from Play Store
2) Open app, and hit Menu, then tap Settings
3) There should be an option in Settings to configure your device with the app, in that option change Galaxy SIII to Galaxy Nexus!​This worked for me and I am now enjoying the pro's of LJ7 JB while tethering like a boss! haha
If this worked, please hit that thanks button, it helps me greatly

Did you save? It should work, Its been working for me.

I am trying this but I can not make it work. The app says that it is working but nothing can see the SSID or connect.

I tried both of the nexus options and it's a no go.

Doesn't work

I'm just going to assume this method does not work. Sprint blocked the tethering in purpose, it doesn't work on jelly bean for the moment, unless you can show proof?

Nope.

Fail

Doesn't work.

Btw, anyone looking for working tether on a ROM, as far as i know, all AOSP ROMs have it working, it's the TW ROMs that are having problems.

So this whole wifi tether issue. It seems fixable at some point and time. I had the hotspot working for like 2 days but never paid anything extra for it. It no longer works so I guess sprint is paying attention to something. LOL. I love the Jellybean though.

Tried it already...no go
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

Already tried them all. None work on JB...don't waste your time.

Does anybody know if it's possible to do USB tethering on Jelly Bean?

USB tethering works fine for me, using the 'easytether lite' app. Let's hope the wifi team solves the JB issue soon.

Toro won't tether

I used to be able to use the built-in tether app on every custom rom I used on my Toro. Now suddenly it won't work on any of them. Not sure what I might be doing wrong, but it's a bit frustrating as I'm in the middle of moving and won't have internet service restored for a few days. Any suggestions? I'm on the latest Atom rom at the moment, but it wasn't working on AOKP or CM10.1 either.

How to get wifi tethering to work on 4.2.2

So I've tried 2 different aosp roms, MiBox 1.20 and IllusionRom, and I can't seem to get wifi tethering to work on either rom. It works just fine for me on touchwiz. I tried using the hotspot built into the rom and ive tried treve mod wifi tether app and neither work.. Does anyone know how to get it to work? Thanks.

If I remember correctly, it states in the OP of both of these that this is an issue. It is an issues with most AOSP ROMs.

WiFi tether works fine if you edit build.prop with for example ROM toolbox from market and edit it and add
ro.ril.transmitpower=true
Then save and reboot and built in WiFi tether should be working fine...
If your build.prop doesn't have that line to add then add it and you should have it working right...

A lot of people ask this question in AOSP threads, I will link them to this thread next time.

Have you tried yet adding
ro.ril.transmitpower=true
To your build.prop and check if the build in tether hotspot works?
Works fine for me and I always add that to get it working...I forgot were I got it from but it works
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

I've been trying to get wifi tether working with no luck so far.
I tried adding the ro.ril.transmitpower=true
I tried downloading a beta build of the wifi tether app (3.2 pre2)
I tried it with mms clamping and routing fix on and off.
The best i can get is i see the hotspot show up on the available networks, but when i try to connect it either gets as far as getting an IP address and then just keeps re-trying that (the app shows a device connected) or if i have encryption enabled, it doesn't seem to get past authenticating.
Some of the combinations i tried the network doesn't even show up under the list of available networks.
Can anyone offer some advice on how to get the wifi tether working? I'm using a sprint evo 4lte, with the viper rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2124391
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

I'm using Liquid Smooth and have not had any issues tethering, do a back up and give it a try.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

I'm not quiet ready yet to try totall resetting the phone and installing a new rom. I'm still hoping there's something i can tweak somewhere to get this working without having to go that far.

wifi tether works with one rom, not another

the wifi tether for root users is not working with the liquid smooth rom just released, but the optimus DE rom works just fine as well as stock. tried reconfiguring it all different ways and mimicking the optimus rom settings I had that worked just fine. not sure why it works fine for one and not for another. any ideas?

just so everyone knows, I'm not a total noob at this. I've had a Samsung nexus S 4g forever, had it rooted for almost 2 years. great phone, moved up to the optimus for its hardware capabilities, but have had some issues with configurations on certain apps. great phone so far, the lg firmware makes it a little difficult to play around with. I've tried wiping davlik, pulling data from my other rom and everything. I went from a 4.1.2 rom to a 4.3.1 rom. i'm wondering if the 4.3 doesn't support the wifi tether? I use the crap out of it and haven't ever been billed for it. its awful handy, and sucks not to have it. tried the trevE mod version too, with the exact settings off my other rom it always starts with errors. if I turn it to NetD it works properly but doesn't show up when I scan to find it. not sure whats going on here?

I think most CM/ASOP ROMs have tethering built in. That's why the app doesn't work.
OpTimuS is stock.

The only one that shows up is the factory one you pay for... Are you saying this app is built in?

Stock ROMs you have to pay for. Or root and the app.
CM/AOSP depending which one, have a free hotspot built in. I think it's usually in settings>phone or roaming. Somewhere around there on the settings.

It's been a while since I ran that one. I can't remember if it's built in or not. Honestly.... I can't remember which ones don't have it. Most of them do.

When I tried using the native tether it called itself fallback and wouldn't let me use the free one. Well poo.

Just wondering if there's a fix for this app. I love access control that way even if people get my password I have to allow it. I guess I'll just back this ROM and data up and flash back to optimus de to tether if I need it for now.

Bump. Anyone know if there's a way to make this app work? I sent the dev a PM...
