I'm running AOKP toro Jelly Bean MR1 Build 2 and using the native tether app with that ROM. I just crossed the 4GB data limit on my plan, but it's set to just bill me an extra $10 for 1GB, so i don't think that's the issue.
I can access the internet and any website on the phone itself, but when i tether to my laptop the internet does not work. I can access the google sites, send a receive email, access google drive and edit documents. Local dropbox folder "cannot establish secure connection" and i cannot access any site on the internet other than google and google search results. Never had this kind of issue before so i'm a bit lost as to what to try. I've restarted the computer, shut down and rebooted the computer, rebooted the phone, turn on and off the mobile data etc and nothing seems to work.
Any troubleshooting steps would be appreciated.

I just flashed the original ROM to my phone last night as an attempt to clean it back up. So far I've installed: Google Maps, Seven, Opera 5 mini beta, Microsoft My phone, Advanced Config tool, .Net 3.5, eras2r 3G CommManager Addon, Marketplace, and MS 3.5.
I had the latest Facebook app installed and it worked, decently. When I uninstalled it and installed an older version I started to not be able to connect to FB or to my internet. I've tried resetting settings, and restoring a lot of items to default. I have sense uninstalled FB from my phone completely but still can not connect to the internet on my phone. I am able to receive e-mails. I'm connected to 3G (showing an H connection) and tried to switch it over to Edge but still no dice. I'm connecting to Media Net for any connections that try and access the network.
I did make some headway by connecting to the WiFi at work. When connected I can connect to the internet just fine. This however is limiting and I don't like connecting to wifi if I don't have to.
I was using ActiveSync to transfer some cabs to my phone from my pc and just unplugged it when I finished the last transfer, hopefully that didn't cause the issue. I've performed numerous SoftResets but still having the issue.
Anyone know what I can check? I'd like to avoid Hard Resetting if possible as I hate having to set up everything again.
Edit: Forgot to add the error message when trying to get on the internet:
"Connection Failed: Unable to connect. Please review your network settings."
Is anyone able to help? This is really frustrating me
An update (hope this helps): I ran the "Enable hidden proxy" feature that the ROM comes with and switched opera over to a Socket connection. This allows Opera to work fine, but not in HTTP mode (like it was this morning). I am still unable to connect to Facebook.

You are going to need to provide more information. Which carrier (they have different Internet settings), which "Stock ROM" version.
Sorry, I'm using the Tilt 2 on the AT&T network. I eventually got frustrated enough with it yesterday that I performed a hard reset, which fixed it. I flashed the March 17th version of the 2.5 Energy ROM and had a hiccup at one point. I don't know if this is related or not, but I had plugged my phone into my work laptop and used active sync (it's now set to file transfer instead) so that I could charge my phone. About 5 minutes after unplugging it from my laptop I was unable to go to any website. A soft-reset resolved it.
edit: I really think it may have something to do with my plugging it in to my work computer. Right now I can't connect to FB via the app, I can open Opera and google search, but when trying to go to a website it gives me: "Could not find proxy server"
I have a weird WIFI issue only at work, Android Market cannot download apps or games.
I can browse the internet, and look at news, weather, google etc just fine.
Sometimes the internal Mail app also gives a error saying it cannot connect. but the Gmail app is fine.
I have an orange 500 MB connection, and only got my phone yesterday. i calculate using 100MB in a day over 3g already Worrying.
Ok, got it.. Proxy issue.
I wonder if it is possible to go the other way to tethering, use the PC's internet connection on the phone? I could do that with activesync. hmm.
Only certain ports are allowed over wireless where I work, so market doesn't work for me either.
Okay, I can connect to the Internet when I'm using my Wi-Fi connection with no problem, and also when I'm connected via MediaNet. However, when my Wi-Fi connection is on, I get connection errors when trying to connect to Marketplace, AppCenter, etc. I can still navigate the Internet just fine, otherwise, but if I want to connect to the Marketplace, I have to shut the Wi-Fi connection off.
My guess is I fat-fingered a connection setting, but I don't know which one and what the settings should be. Can anyone help me out with the default connection settings for an AT&T Tilt 2? I don't like the idea of having to use my plan data usage to access Marketplace and such.
Thanks
Do you turn off the proxy when using Wifi?
Nope, didn't mess with the proxy setting.
I dug around more elsewhere and found someone with a similar problem relating to authentication for Marketplace. The fix, for Marketplace at least, is to simply uninstall Marketplace. The shortcut remains, so click on that and it asks if you want to install Marketplace. Seems to work just fine after that. Not terribly concerted with AppCenter, and I don't think you can uninstall that, anyway.
So Marketplace is working once more, but the AT&T stuff is still a no-go. AppCenter/Media Mall, Mobile Video, Navigator, etc. won't connect. I ran the restore proxy cab, which did nothing, so I disabled it again. Not sure what I goofed up to render those apps useless.
Make sure you have MediaNet as your selected network. The AT$T ISP is suddenly very flaky.
All, I've been searching my brains out looking for a solution.
I am on the Jedi Elite Rom, coming from the Wicked Rom both with SaberKernal 9.5. I cant get the MHS to work with either ROM (With WIckedm it worked for a day or so and then stopped)
I can get the phone to connect to my tablet (Asus 300TF) but no internet access. The Mobile Hot spot settings show that the tablet is connected and talking.
Thinking that there may be an app that's causing the trouble, I just did a fresh install of the Jedi Rom completely barebones - in the installer, I didnt select any apps, mods, etc. I have also tried connecting to my laptop, and the same thing will happen. The phone will connect to the laptop but no internet access
What's blocking my access? Is it the Kernal?'
Edit: I just switched to leanKernal and that made no difference. Also, I have tried connecting with the MHSP both Open and default security
Google is the only site that works on both my PC and tablet. Same thing with USB tethering on the laptop. The laptop recognizes the phone as a modem, says I have an internet connection, but wont push any data through EXCEPT Google.com
I just got off the phone with T-Mobile tech support and they made me turn off the LTE now I am just on 4G with APN epc.tmobile.com That worked but the tether connection is stupid slow. They put a ticket in for me. Any help woud still be appreciated
So I'm almost lost on where to begin. I feel like I have tried everything but here we go.
Sgh m919 4.4.2 rooted stock. Rooted via towel root, Knox warranty void 0x0
Plan: unlimited everything (unlimited 4G lte all the time) 2 lines 5gb hotspot for $100
So for a long time I used wifi tether router to create a hotspot for other devices like ps3s and computers to connect to. This would use my unlimited mobile data and wouldn't touch my regular hotspot count. It worked amazingly! But at some point it started to use my regular hotspot and I was directed to the dreaded tmobile upsell page. Well this pretty much ruined my life because I live in a place that provides Internet and won't let you get your own and it's super slow. Like less then 1mb per sec slow. .. So i have been desperately trying to find a work around. I had countless emails with the developer with the end result being him saying here are some vpns people say they have had success with I can help you no further. So i tried those but it did not seem to work at all. I tried using several vpn applications with wifi tether router. Vpn applications with it all built into the app and you just have to hit connect to open vpn. Then I found these guides and tried this method: http://kingoftweaks.blogspot.ae/2014/03/wifi-hotspot-through-vpn.html?m=1
http://digiex.net/guides-reviews/gu...phone-vpn-gateway-bypass-tethering-block.html
but that didn't seem to work either. So i went back to the past and tried using other methods from before rooting my phone. In the past I would use pdanet+ to usb tether a windows 7 laptop and use the Internet connection sharing function to share the Internet connection from pdanet to a router plugged in via ethernet cable. It worked back then and worked this time, for the most part. You have to use hide tether usage level 1 to bypass the upsell page. In the past this wasn't a problem. I could do anything just as if connected to my hotspot. But now I can't get netflix to work on anything but a mobile device. Not my ps3, computers, smart tv, nothing. User agent switchers don't solve the problem. So this gave me another idea. Try to use the computer as a vpn gateway. So i downloaded open vpn client and tried some free vpns. I wasn't using pdanet at this point. I was trying to connect the computer to wifi tether router and basically encrypt all Internet traffic from my isp (tmobile) using a vpn. So if I start the vpn and am connected to the phone via wifi and share the wifi connection to the router I still hit the upsell page or it will keep on trying to load Web pages in the browser but will never load them. So when I use open vpn client on widows 7 it creates it's own network adapter. So i tried to share that to the router and connect another computer. It barely worked, speed was awful according to speedtest.net . While running vpn I can watch netflix after downloading Microsoft silver light on computer running vpn but not very well. So i thought maybe I could use my computer as a vpn server but was unsuccessful. I tried fiddler in the past but all it did was mess with my computer. I tried wireless tether for root users and the treve mod version, this guide

I really need help figuring out how to get tethering working again.
My needs are complicated as well. I wasn't to keep Knox unvoided for one. I as well would like to be somewhat mobile with my phone. I don't want to have to keep it plugged into the computer all the time to have Internet access. Which means even if i get pdanet working with Netflix that's just temporary. Ultimately i would like to use just my phone but know that just may not be possible.
Ultimate goal: wireless tether using just phone with good speeds, ping/latency.
Acceptable goal: wireless tether to computer and share internet connection through router to maintain mobility with phone.
Temporary goal: get netflix working with pda net usb tethering.
I need to be able to use netflix on ps3, computer, and smart tv.
My ideas that I have no idea how to implement.
Use the computer to encrypt data from tmobile, vpn? Proxy? Ssh tunnel?
Use another phone to pick up the wireless tether router hotspot and somehow force pdanet to use the wifi connection of that phone instead of the mobile data it tries to use normally or mask the wifi connection as the mobile data connection or something. Basically use pdanet to share the extra phones wifi connection so I have mobility with my actual phone.
Ps. When using wifi tether router other andriod devices can connect and use application like normal but nothing else.
Can anyone help me get my tethering working again? I need help really bad and would greatly appreciate it.
No one wants to say it, so I will.
You need to get yourself some good old fashioned Internet access from an Internet provider.
Tmobile is on to your data abuse and put a jihad on your data black hole.
Downgrade your Tmo plan and buy into some Internet access from your local provider.

Has anyone found a solution to the OPs concern for how to get tethering working again through T-Mobile? It use to be that you could use an app like: Tether (from Clockwork Mod) or EasyTether (from Play Store) to get around T-Mobile's restriction on tethering; however, those don't seem to work anymore (ever with user agent spoofing) - has anyone found a current solution for tethering on T-Mobile?
No.

Whatever VPN witchcraft PdaNet+ uses to hide tether usage makes Netflix unusable on a PC. The way around this is to unhide the tether usage, load whatever it is on Netflix you want to watch (once the red circle starts spinning is good enough), then re-hide the tether usage. I don't know if doing the same will let Netflix work properly on your other devices, as I've never tried. I don't have Netflix anymore, so I can't try with my TV's Netflix app.
It's a nuisance, but it's something one just has to put up with if you're using your phone plan as your home internet. I don't understand the reason this happens. Websites still detect your Windows version and browser just fine, yet Netflix thinks you're incompatible for some reason.
FWIW, Amazon Prime doesn't have this problem.
I also don't know why WiFi Tether Router stopped working for you. It works fine for me.
