I know most of us love to root and be able to flash great many roms but some great dev. but these rom do comes with great many bugs....
People root and flash roms for many great reasons, one of them is wifi tether? well I was in hunt for something like that.....I came across FOXFI
It's a wifi hotspot app for your unrooted phone.
Please check it on your phone and see if its work.....download the free version from the Apps Store or Apps Market...
btwn I've ordered my Note 2, just waiting to get it.

Whats your favorite wifi tether app for rooted phones, that's confirmed working.
For those using a windows computer that keep getting rerouted try this:
download ultrasurf (Google it)
Run it and wait till it connects.
Done. Enjoy browsing..

it doesn't work with T-Mobile, because there is the Mobile Hotspot app...If someone can remove that from the device, I tried it with root but it didn't work...but if you used the international version of your rom....then it works....between International has no wifi calling...in case you either live in the no signal zone, or you are traveling abroad....

Just use the treVee mod (if your rooted) that way you dont have to change or delete your apns and it even comes with a little widget to turn it on and off.
you have to change some of the settings in the app in order to get it to work properly, pm me if u wanna know the settings
easy tether app on the market
download chrome for your laptop/desktop
download user agent chrome extension
change it to a mobile browser

Just got my Galaxy S3 today and upgraded from mytouch 4g, im on t-mobile's 4g prepaid plan with unlimted everything (5gig 4g data). on my mytouch i didnt need to pay for tethering service but now im trying to connect my itouch to my wifi hotspot on the s3 and it doesnt work.....would anyone happen to know a workaround or fix for this??
p.s. im not paying tmobile for tethering service
Thanks all
Its working for me. I thought the 5GB plan included the T-Mobile HotSpot app, the guy at the store this morning offered me a 2GB plan for $20 or a $35 5GB plan with tethering.
Thinking you probably need root.

You have to change your user agent on the PC side. I reccomend Firefox with the add on called "user agent switcher". No matter what don't use internet explorer, immediate giveaway.
Here's my current one as an example:
Mozilla/5.0 Linux U Android 4.0.4 en-us Galaxy Nexus Build/IMM76I CyanogenMod-9 AppleWebKit/534.30 KHTML, like Gecko Version/4.0 Mobile Safari/534.30
Here an example of what will get ur ass redirected to the tmo up sell page:
IE 7 ? Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.30)2011-10-16 20:20:09

If all else fails you could also use PdaNet and use the "hide tether usage" option.
Try using Firefox. Works for me even when Chrome redirects.

WiFi Tether from the market works best for me!
I am seeing a lot of negative comments about this app 'wifi tether' and gs III stock. It seems to indicate that it does not play well together. This is why I was asking, because this was my experience today: No consistent connection, it simply drops the tether and the app stops.
Sent from my AT100 using Tapatalk 2
Better get used to it if ur stayin stock. All that works unless u have the means to Bluetooth tether. If u can do it with Bluetooth try foxfi. Normal tether doesn't work with it yet. Also if u haven't done so, in addition to setting gnex profile in the tether app and unchecking the disable wake lock option, delete ConnectionManager.apk from /system/app. Probably the cause of your tethering woes
Thanks for confirming

WiFi Tether works for me just fine (gotta select the GNexus CDMA/LTE profile).
The only hiccup I've found is that before I activate tethering, I often need to do a fresh reboot on the GSIII, or else it will claim its broadcasting, but it really isn't.
And, of course, root IS required for this particular app.

I don't know enough about the rules on posting links so................
I did a google search for "wifi tether versions"
Down toward the bottom of the results I came across a page from the androidpolice site.
Right above the row of three screen shots is the following sentence: (If it does get pulled, however, you can always grab the apk from Here).
Click on the word "Here" and it will take you to the android-wifi-tether project home page.
Click on downloads and that will get you to where you want to be.
I am running Jelly Bean on my GS3 and have yet to be able to get wifi tether or foxfi to work at all.
I am about to start at the oldest version of wifi tether and work my way forward until I find something that works.
Until I find something stable, I will be using pdanet for wired tether. Hey, it works all day long for me.
On EDIT.............
Ignore most of the above and just google "android wifi tether project"
It will cut out most of the steps and is the first result on google.
Dang, I've been here almost two years and still considered a new member?
Had to wait 5 minutes before I could edit the post with better info.
Trust me, I'm a real person........not a spam bot!
Sure it has something to do with post count.
Any luck with older versions of wifi tether?

Hotspot = tether - no difference.
The reference to the 500mb limit is new - but have they throttled you yet? If not, just keep on trucking.
If they have, you might consider trying one of the custom ROM's that have native tethering build in. Or, maybe first try the APN Backup and Restore App. It has a modified APN that has worked well for me on the Stock ROM.

Got it yesterday as well using custom rom with tether built in and hotspot shield vpn app. Did T-Mobile find the loophole?
What I meant was that I was using the "wifi tether for root users" app and not the stock "t mobile hotspot" I know hotspot and tether is the same thing lol
Anyways.. today it said I hit my limit of 500MB and ive never used the stock hotspot app just the "wifi for root users"
So now I dont have wifi in my laptop and I have homework to turn in
Just to let you know I used cyanogenmod which has wifi tethering built in and thats when I hit the limit
What do you mean APN? how do I do that? Much help would be appreciated

He/she is talking about this app. But "NOTE: Starting with Android 4.0/ICS, 3rd Party apps don't have access to write APN settings, hence this app no longer works for restoring APN backups as a normal app. You can convert it to a System app using Titanium Backup on a rooted phone and use.

- Open Titanium Backup
- Go to backup/restore tab
- Find APN Backup & Restore on the list
- Long press on the app when you find it
- Select Convert to system app

But... @gaww I really don't see how this can help. How would one use a "modified APN" if no backup is created. The app is only a backup/restore app if im not mistaken...

Does your LTE work with this custom APN?
Don't think so but no way to know. It is an act of God that I even get 4g in western North Carolina - lol.
One more thing. When used with stock ROM, could not turn on tethering with Stock settings - had to install and use Tethering Widget to turn it on and off. I was able to turn it on and off with regular settings on custom ROMs though.

I rooted my phone then I Installed Wifi tether for root users and Hideman (gives 4 free hours per day of VPN service).
First turn on the Hideman
Second turn on the Wifi tether
third surf the web (do we still say that)
I Verified with the t-mobile data and it all is going toward my unlimited plan instead of the 500mb hotspot they give.

Here's a preemptive answer to a question that's been asked countless times about this ROM- "How do I change the battery icon?"
Assuming you installed OGBatteryMod, tap on the battery icon in your status bar 3 times and you'll be presented with a list of many icons and can make your selection there.

I have been tethering for a long time and always had worked without a problem so here is the thing...
I have Nationwide 4G unlimited data plan but it doesn't allow me to tether by default so on my old phone Note II when I rooted and installed another ROM the tethering was fixed.. I don't know how.. yes yes I know that I have to switch Us.Agent.... I do switched just like I always did but it's just not working and by not working I mean it takes me to the T-Mobile page

OK. So are you saying that you can't use the tethering and portable hotspot under settings?

OK try this. If you are using xposed and modules, you can use wanam and click on system you will then see an option for tethering provision. Disable it and reboot then try again. Let me know if it works.

OK. Have you ever tried treve mod? I can walk you through the setup that works for me. I'm going to look into VPN apps that would resolve the issue. I also need to know which browsers you have tried so we can try to find one that works for you after changing user agent.

Chrome with UA Extension, I wanna make the tethering to work from the native option if it's possible...

Treve mod has a native framework tether option but you would still have to use the app to tether. I will look into it first thing in the morning. There's really no reason for it not to work right after you flash the ROM. I use treve mod but the native method also works. The only difference between your plan and mine is that I have true unlimited. That means that I have support for 2gigs of hotspot and unlimited data. The modded tethering provision.apk from TheSickness is working right out of the box for me. I can use the hotspot as much as I need.
BTW. On chrome you can change your user agent under developer tools. Look here http://www.technipages.com/google-chrome-change-user-agent-string

my Tethering is working again with V4 but with the latest it takes me to T-mobile tethering page.. if you want me to I can share the ROM with you?

So it's working on insane kitkat v4 but not on v8 for you?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using XDA Free mobile app
This is what I would try next if I was having your problem. I would save the tethering provision.apk from v4 to my SD card. Then I would flash v8 again and once it boots up I would replace the v8 tethering provision.apk with v4 and set permissions to rw- r-- r--. It's definitely worth a try. I wouldn't be surprised if it works!

How can I do that? I'm telling you guys there is something wrong with the Tethering on V8

OK. Download es file manager if you don't already have it and give it root access. Go to system/app and copy the tethering provision.apk and paste it somewhere where it will be easy for you to find it. Like the download folder. Then flash v8 and open es file manager go to system/app again and delete tethering provision.apk. now go to wherever you saved the v4 apk and copy it then paste it in system/app. Long press on the apk and click on properties. Then just change permissions to rw- r-- r-- and reboot. You should be able to tether now.

That has to work for you for sure! All you are doing is replacing the bad apk with the working one. Make sense?

If you have WiFi problems this are ktoonzes recommendations:
To make wifi work when it wont turn on or connect, change this in the build.prop:
ro.securestorage.support=true TO ro.securestorage.support=false

So far I have tried wifi tether router, zip fix to remove provisions, changing apn settings, adding dun to the stock apn, tried wifi tether from the thread here at XDA. And not a damn thing has worked. This is getting ridiculous what other options are there to get around the annoying up sell page?

Xposed framework and x tether works great for me
Pdanet works great for me . Only through usb . Bluetooth gets detected . Just check the option to hide tether usage in task bar icon

The normal t-mobile apn is the only one that works if I select the tethering one it automatically switches back to the LTE apn when my data reconnects

Thanks I'll try emailing him. and @sevenslugs whats the name of the APN to try I only have LTE, tether (which doesn't stick) and IMS which I have no idea what that is.
If you are using tweaked you should have a "NoLTE" apn for tethering

Just tried. Unless I am doing something wrong it's not working. I installed the module and everything and since it says there's no UI for it all you do is install and use native tethering or what?

Yeah that's exactly what I did and when I tether it has never reported more than a few mbs and that's steaming Netflix
I'll try next month when my bill renews i might be having the issue since I'm already at the limit

I'm on Effortless rom and have unlimited tether. Just flash the rom and the SD and tether fix zip. Then, follow the instructions. Go to APN and reset to default and restart your phone. After that, turn on your hotspot and go back to APN and click on the T-mobile Tether APN. Give it a few seconds and it'll automatically switch back to the T-mobile US LTE APN and you should have unlimited tether. You'll have to click on the Tether APN every time you want to tether. This method works for me.

Ding Ding Ding - winner winner chicken dinner -
THAT is exactly what the problem is and I cant understand why nobody on this website (and on these similar threads) have no clue about this, all suggesting 50 solutions, none of which work cause tmo already turned OFF their hotspot after 5g.
NONE of these suggestions are actual "hotspots", they just reroute, or mask the tethered data so it's not reported. These "fixes" do not fix the fact tmo turned off their hotspot after 5g tether.
Once ur new billing cycle starts, ALL these suggestions will work, but until then, NONE of them will work.
Fortunately for myself, I have an unlocked att N3, and I use the att hotspot (which of course does NOT talk to tmo), so I can tether to my hearts content without jumping thru all these stupid and frustrating hoops that the OP is going thru right now -
So OP, u can keep trying all this crap every month, or simply flash the ATT rom on ur N3, and then turn on the blue att hotspot, (instead of using the metered pink tmo hotspot). Then u will be truly unlimited with no tethering limits -

Why would you say something so stupid?
That is EXACTLY how it works, and my billing cycle just ended last week on the 4th, and I used 289.4GB
So how do you explain me getting past tmo's 5g tether limit, month after month, after month !!!
