Hey Guys,
I've tried all kinds of different roms, from different versions of Liquid Smooth, Carbon, Jellybam, but one common issue i experience is WIFI tethering.
All roms except Liquid Smooth 4.1.1 RC7. I've done clean installs, even went back to stop and flash fresh, and to no avail. None of the roms let me tether other than RC7. Even with RC7, the native tether doesnt work. I'd have to use a wifi tether app which only works for rc7
So a quick summary of what ive done so far:
-All wipe steps, factory reset inclusing data and system but to no avail.
-go back to stock, root again, flash any rom, nothing.
-go back to RC7 liquid smooth rom, and the wifi tether app is the only way to get wifi tether to work.
Any recommendations on what i could try or even use another rom will be awesome.
Thanks in advance.
WiFi tether on AOKP's 4.1.2 works for perfectly. Additionally, the rom is super stable.

Thanks for letting me know. The current ROM i am running is on 4.1.2 as well. It seems Wifi tethering hasnt yet been perfected on 4.2.2. Will wait this one out i guess.
Cheers.

You can try flashing KT747 Kernel. WiFi tether states its been fixed a few days ago. May be something worth doing to see if this corrects your problem.

i was using 4.2.2 Rootbox prior to this flash. I had tried to flash over the KT747 kernel for D2ATT however it did not work it just hung the phone in a continuous boot loop. i tried to do the method with fixed permissions in TWRP also but still no luck.
However it seems like on the AOKP(Jellybean 4.2.2 )Task650 (2.23.2013) (AT&T) rom i'm running the wireless tether is an issue still for Canadian customers as per the FAQ section that's in their main Rom thread

I've had working wifi tether on my 4.2.2 rom for quite some time. Where you getting the "Wifi tethering hasnt yet been perfected on 4.2.2" information from? You have to have a ROM + Kernel that will allow it. Most AOSP roms should be up to date. If they are not then I'm not sure why.
Another plug for task's latest. Tethering works with underwear and ktoonsez kernels.
^ latest task ROM? Or just the kernel.

ROM and kernel have to support it.
I'm not Canadian nor do I have Canadian service. So I can't confirm that. But I have a ton of Canadian users and have seen no reports of it not working. So that must mean it works just fine.

Did you use the native tethering app? I installed Liquid Smooth 4.2.2 on my VZ S3 yesterday and I can not get the native tethering to work.
How do you install and flash a kernel. Can it just normally be done through twrp??

Over the past week I've flashed a bunch of different roms, CM 10.1, AOKP, SuperNexus, etc. and none of them I can get working for wi-fi hotspot/tethering. I'm also on Rogers and my i747 works just fine on stock rooted for wi-fi hotspot, just none of the AOSP ROMs I've tried.
My tablet or laptop will connect to the wi-fi hotspot, but no data is passed through.

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.

I've also installed Frosty JB ROM, and cannot tether via wifi by any means. I've also tried Foxfi and WifiTether, neither work. The only app I've gotten to work is EasyTether, and it's connected via USB, not wifi. I didn't try it on ICS, so I can't speak to that. But it definitely doesn't work now.

Yeah so did i. :/
And i was told its all JB leaks. Its kind of weird how we cant tether even while being root. I wonder if something in the kernel or ROM source code is preventing it. And that may be a benefiting factor to why we dont have source code for JB Sammy ROMs yet.
I actually got caught using easytether. Was browsing like normal for a while, then the "please add this service to continue tethering" screen came up. Wish there was a way to do this! I refuse to pay extra per month for this service.
I've got two GS3's... One I've had for a while, is using Ice Cream Sandwich, is rooted and runs wifi tether just fine.
I got another one tonight for the wife and allowed it to update to JellyBean, but it seems we can't root Jellybean to get the free wifi tether. Is this correct or if I root it, is there a wifi tether that works?
If not, what steps do I take to switch back to ICS?
cm10 is one of the few jb rom which has working wifi tether. if you want to go back to ics you can probably find the ics odin tar, however i would just use one of the ics based roms on the thread.
Thanks! I kinda thought this is the direction I would need to go... Can you point me to a link to get the ICS ROM?

From what I can gather from xda and my own experience, wifi tether on cm10 is NOT working. Doesn't sound like it is a cm10 specific issue though. I am on nightly 11-07 and wifi tether appears to work fine but the client doesn't actually get access to the cellular internet data.
I would love to be corrected and get this working though!

I got the wifi tether that's native to CM10 to work when I installed CM10. Only problem now is that CM10 makes the functionality of the device so much different than the stock ICS or JB GS3 that my wife isn't thrilled. So, now my challenge is to find themes that best "look" like ICS or JB from Google.
Any suggestions???

Same thing happened to me, had to hit allow at least 20 times. Either case, ended up not working for me on stock rooted.
I also have stock rooted JB. It DID work. I tried on ipod touch, Galaxy Tab and a laptop. They all worked fine. Only problem was not being able to turn Wifi back on after shutting down tether. Had to reboot.
I used Nexus CDMA profile, encryption OFF, Access control ON.
It DOES work.

I've tried your EXACT same settings and it doesn't work. I can see the network, but can't connect. Without fallback tether checked, I don't even see the network at all. This is my luck, for sure.
Works for me. I didn't change a thing. I opened the app after installing it and pressed the wifi button in the center of the screen. It worked and my buddy with his iPhone was able to connect and browse the web.

Im currently using this ROM and native wifi tether works perfectly fine. I should add that I'm on R6, 4.2( R8 is the current one which is 4.2.1) as I've had no need to update it.
Ok..as soon as I can find a R6 ROM I will give that a shot and see what gives... My laptop connects but it says "limited connectivity" ... basically no internet...
Would the kernel make a difference? If I ran a 4.2 kernel?
Works with the Paranoid Android ROM and Franco Kernel as well.
Damn...PA is a R8 release? What the hell is wrong with mine then..LOL

I'm using rasbean and with trinity kernel. And I can't get it to work either. Using wifi tether it gives me errors and won't show the created network. It has errors in the log creating "ap". If I try to use the builtin app it creates an "ap" and allows me to connect, but it won't actually let me to browse the Internet. This is over two rasbean roms and the stock kernel and trinity kernel. I've tried changing the device to the gsm version and I have also tried using different apps. Open garden, barnacle, etc. So I do know what else to do.
Thanks ...

I would first try flashing it clean. Wipe System/Data and Factory reset. Then before installing anything test the Native tether to see if it works. I suggest using Cyanogenmod because many ROMs are built off of it, but that is your choice. I also suggest you try connecting another device to the AP to make sure the problem is not your actual laptop. Try tethering a tablet or another phone and see if it works.
Ok first off I've researched and studied this to hell and posting is my last resort. I'm rooted, use vpn shields, have tried several top rated tethering apps from the play store and a proxy. None work, once I try to load a website on my PC the t mobile web page pops up about tethering and such, I am unable to tether. Anyone with suggestions?

in order to have Tethering work, you MUST Flash the Kernel with a "Tweaked" version that allows Wifi Tether.
the file I got downloaded, I forgot where from is named, SetUIDRestrictRemovedKernel.zip
If you do a google search using the filename I provided above, It should be the second choice. ( I just did the search)
it'll download when you select to....

if you're using the included Tethering app it works right out of the box! It's the "Trev_E_Mod" tethering and others that are not possible to enable without the Kernel patch......
Ya it seems all the custom roms I tried I could not for the life of me get wifi tethering to work. I had to go back to stock TW for M919 and now it works perfectly. I wish I heard about the tweaked kernel before. Will try the tweaked kernel when I get an itch to flash something new hopefully 4.4 real soon!
