No, nothing is working as of yet. It is in high demand though, so you are not the only one wondering!

I was so excited to upgrade to JB didn't even think about this until I tried using it today. I was about to make a thread until common sense kicked in. Glad I searched before I posted or I would have been burned at the stake.
:silly:

It works on PA rom, not on leaked Touchwiz. I have nandroids of both, if need tethering, restore PA, it takes few minutes only.

CyanogenMod 10 and AOKP have it built right in. Works flawlessly.
As far as Touchwiz roms, though, nothing is working yet.

Is it a restriction in Jellybean that prevents third party wifi tether apps from working which the Android developers did, or is it just a compatibility issue which will be fixed in future updates of Jellybean or the tether app?

As mentioned in last 2 posts, it does work on some JB roms, so it's not a JB limitation.

Delete all of the tether apps you've installed, wipe Dalvik cache, and use the native tethering app. blue tooth or usb are the only options

You can use the native one on CM10 or AOKP, but not in TW.

Are you sure? I asked the question in the jellyblazed topic and someone using it replied that wifi tether is not working? See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33018998&postcount=103

wifi tether is not working, however you can use the native tether via bluetooth or usb. i would have posted in the jellyblazed thread but my status does not allow me to post in development forums.

I'm wondering how much you will pay next month.

Ya I'm sure it works on Verizon just fine. Youre in the sprint forum. Sprints hotspot is setup differently which is why verizons has a hack and sprints doesnt. I could flash a stock verizon rom to my sprint phone and tethering will work.Sprint ****d our hotspot capabilities with the update. I will say tho and it must be some random fluke that while running a leak, LIH I believe, the hotspot worked once or twice when I tried it.

Same Here, will be very glad when we get this solved.

Detailed Problem Description
I have searched and read quite a bit on this issue and do not have a clear understanding of what is actually the core issue here. Best I can tell, Sprint changed the interface/API to something with JB that prevents 3rd party tething. If that is accurate, not sure what that is specifically. If that is the case, it doesn't explain why it supposed works on some JB ROMs. Similarly, if it works in ICS and not JB, one would think that the API would not be the issue.
Several have implied that the native CM10 tether works since it is based on AOSP; however, mine will present as an AP and allow clients to connect but the data just doesn't pipe through. On that note, I have seen reports that non-TW ROMs work.
I am clearly not the expert on this matter but would find it useful is someone that does have real insight could clear the rumor air on what is and isn't really the issue.

Works!
This is an old thread, but if you're here, don't despair. Works like a charm for me (stock, rooted sprint s3) following the links in qbking77's video: Free Wifi Tether/Hotspot for the Samsung Galaxy S III on Jelly Bean

Working WiFi tether with any (I hope) ICS build.

I looked though forum and couldn't find a thread addressing this issue and it looks like the question still has not been answered.
If this is a bump, mod please delete it.
After trying many WiFi tether apps and different settings I found that the latest wifi tether app works for our phones running ICS builds.
You can download it from website:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/detail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-beta11.apk&can=2&q=
Or from mediafire:
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?x32j182mc3n0g7n
After you download and install this app go to app settings-> change device profile-> and choose "Samsung Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE) as your device.
Now you can start the app and connect your pc or any other device to it.
I'm posting this using tethering so it does work.
Currently I'm running Stock rooted deodexed FB21 rom by Calkulin.
As usual you can change the network name and add encryption.
Once again. If this has been addressed mod please delete this thread.
Wow, I never thought about changing the profile to a galaxy nexus lol. Brilliant! You should make a post in the general section too, seeing how that should get a lot more traffic!
May be I should ask a mod to move this thread into general section.
I don't want to creat same thread twice.
We have too many threads as is and sometime it's very hard to find info you need.
And about galaxy nexus choice.
I couldn't make it work with any other choices and then I thought since there is no ICS for our phone mabe that's the problem and did try nexus.
It worked like a charm. and it works when I'm on 4G as well.
Download speed pretty good too.
I was going to say WifiTether works on ICS on my NS4G. Nice work around!
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
I see 15 downloads on my mediafire and I guess there will be more from original website and no feedback at all.
Please let me know if this works for all ICS builds or it just worked on FB21 i'm currently on.
Wow what incredible timing. I've been trying to tether to my PS Vita all morning with no luck, but this worked! Thanks for the info!
I'm currently running DARKSTAR ROM on FB21.
Thanks so much. I need tether for work! I can finally switch to ICS!
Yay!

There should be new versions of this app available on play store.
Did you try them?
If yes than I'm out of ideas.
Till now it worked with every rooted ICS OS.
It worked! It never occurred to me that it should be available on google play. t worked like a breeze, I only selected Generic ICS.
Again, thanks a lot for the tip
Sorry if this comes off stupid but what is the advantage of this over the hot spot hack that was created for ICS?

Hotspot hack was for deodexed roms for long time.
This was an alternative for those who wants to run odexed rom.
Now you have hack for both odexed and deodexed rom and this app
is kinda obsolete.
Think of this as a possible alternative.

Thank you for your reply. I have noticed that I sometimes have to reinstall the hotspot after updating one of your newer, ever more awesome kernels but it is still working. I mostly run odex or convert deodex to odex on my roms.

4G Tethering on AOKP?

Since the AOKP rom has the new kernel incorporated into it i decided to flash it
i was previously on Calkulin's rom 1.6 (GB) with the sprint hotspot hack and i was wondering if there is some type of hotspot hack on aokp or something like it
I've tried to get wifi tether and foxfi to work....but they dont like me

I know you don't have it but have you searched in the devolopment section? I believe there was a thread on 3g/4g hotspot hack. I've never used wifi teather. Sorry I couldn't help you more.
Edit: the hotspot hack is only for FF18 stock.

I think this is the 5th time I've posted this in a week. On ics use wifi tether for root users from market. Set your device in the app to galaxy nexus cdma to make it work.
worked for me!

Yes. I just upgraded to FF18. Foxfi did not work but wifi tether did. Although it did not work set to galaxy nexus but does work when set to auto.
Go figure? Thanks for the tip!
So I thought I would report that I got Wifi Tether for Root Users to work on AOKP M6 by setting the device profile to galaxy nexus.
Also, I've found that using the EL29 modem gives the fastest speeds. I was testing 250-300 kbps down with FF18, I get 1200+ kbps on EL29.
You know there's a profile for our device...

hopefully! the ROM works great as is. just no service. so i think a few modifications and we could easily have it working for CDMA users?

Wifi Tether works AOSP, all third party tether apps are broken with JB
I can't speak for all but wifi tether did work for me on 3g only (not wimax) for 4.1.2 on the e4gt.
What benefit would I see over a ROM like, for instance, the "Why Not ROM" which has things like pen support and multiview and S voice, All share, Samsung wifi transfer, etc, and ALSO removes all the bloatware. The only thing I don't use is Touchwiz (I use Nova instead) on the Samsung ROM. I say this also considering that at the point where we are on a quad core 1.6 ghz ROM... "speed" isn't really an issue.
What am I missing from the Samsung ROM that I would gain with an AOSP ROM, without losing the things I mentioned above and more?
What's the gain here?

Yes. I have the Epic 4G also with 4.1 on it *great phone*, and once they stopped supporting at 2.3...I moved on past a Samsung ROM (they still don't have the camera right though [a bit choppy] ).
But in this case, the phone is so advanced and specific, the only thing I see missing here is wireless tether, which I guess will be solved eventually.
For now, the loss of all of these other things is not worth a jump to an AOSP ROM for me. To each their own though.

I also have a Epic that I really enjoyed once I had the CM9/10 rom on it, and I am keeping it around as a spare / wifi voip burner phone. I guess for me tethering is mission critical since I live in an area that does not have any high speed internet option (no cable/DSL, nothing), and I rely on my phone for access at my house. So the first ROM that is stable and has tethering will get my donation.

[Q] WiFi JB?????

I believed I've lightly touched on the question, and being in and around this forum the last year my android knowledge is increasing( at a turtles pace but increasing) everyday. My thing is I just came back to samsung with the siii two weeks ago so I'm new again it seems like to the functions and what not. What I' curious to know is are JB roms able to use the wifi tether? If so which ones? I go into android development and search the forum and so many come up I'm confused as to which does which. I'm under the understanding that only ICS roms can wifi tether. I'm on stock rooted so as of now I'm pretty good on the wifi tether but I'm so eager to flash another rom so again I search in the android development forum here for ICS ROMs and I get alot of them that have ICS and JB in the title so I'm like SUPER confused as to which ones will work with the wifi tether? My job kinda prevents me from fully reading thru all the OPs to find out which ones will work with wifi tether, so far the only roms I've found with just ICS in the title are a criskelo (sorry if I mispelled) and a GOODNESS ROM. I dl the goodness ROM but when I try to copy to my sd card I get an error that the device not recognized or something which is obsurd because I drag and drop music to my phone almost daily smh. Well anyway not to deviate off subject can anybody help a "Playa" out?
You have to use a modified version of WiFi tether and it works on all ROMs.

Can someone please help? I was running wifi tether for root users for months but I have been having issues connecting my kindle for the past 3 or 4 days. I recently flashed a new ROM, wicked jb v5 but even after that it was still working flawlessly. I updated my wicked jb to v6 ROM today but it still doesn't work. Can someone please help me because the tethering is so necessary for me as I'm sure it is for a lot of other t-mobile rooted customers.
