Absolutely can't get tethering to work. Tried everything.

Jellybean 4.1.1
T-Mobile SIM
Kernel 3.0.31 -g6fb96c9
Build JR003C
Rooted using Wug's Root Toolkit v1.5.2
Permanent CWM installation
Running Root Check Basic shows my device does have root access.
1. The network doesn't even show up on any devices with the following programs:
Wireless Tether for Root Users: 3.1 BETA14
Wireless Tether for Root Users: whatever is on the Market right now
OpenGarden
Barnacle
When I click to see the log it says it can't be found.
2. Using the built-in hotspot function means I'm able to see and find the tethering network, but after connecting to it there is never internet access. I ran the built-in hotspot with the other tether programs both installed and uninstalled.
Encryption and Passwords are all set to off for both methods.
EDIT:
I erased everything. The following is on a brand new install of rooted Jellybean. NOTHING else has been installed on it yet other than unlocking and rooting it via Wug's.
Built-in hotspot works. Will this incur tethering charges on T-Mobile?
Barnacle - WIFI: Failed to connect to supplicant: No such file or directory. Stopped unexpectedly! Can't see the
Wireless Tether for Root Users: 3.1 BETA14 - can't see the tether's wifi
Open Garden - right after granting SU permission it crashes. On re-open it says "unable in install... (couldn't catch it before it disappeared). When I go to view the log I get unable to open log file. File doesn't exist!

Have you tried foxfi? Worked when I had T-Mobile. Just moved to verizon and it still works.

FoxFi does not work. Error starting WiFi tether. Please use Bluetooth DUN. This happens both when I have the WiFi already turned on or off.
After uninstalling a host of somewhat recommended VOIP products I got at least the built-in Hotspot and USB Tether features to work: uninstalled AutoAir (always ensures at least one of either 3G or WiFi is on to intercept VOIP calls), Plane Mode Tweaker (allows WiFi to still work in airplane mode), Y5 Battery Saver (automatically connects to known WiFi access points. Turns off WiFi automatically otherwise.
I'm not sure which one of the 3 apps above is the culprit.
But basically: none of the 3rd party tethering apps work.
Only the built-in apps work, and now I'm very concerned that I will be charged for tethering on my T-Mobile prepaid $30/month plan.
EDIT: The built-in WiFi tether works but grinds to a halt when you turn the screen of the phone off. When the screen is on it works better. USB tethering doesn't seem to be affected. I can't get Bluetooth DUN to work because my Win7 computer can't find the necessary drivers for the Nexus.

Don't worry about T-Mo charging you for tethering. If they detect tethering your web browser will display a message linking you to their website. Just don't stream any video or download any obscenely large (300 mb+) files and you should be fine.

I'm in the same boat sort. I can. Get blue tooth tethering to work but not WiFi. Keeps deselecting the enable WiFi in settings automatically. Is this not possible thru verizon even when rooted?

Working Bluetooth Tether on leaked JB rom Galaxy SIII

I am running freeza’s “Sprint Touchwiz Jelly Bean 4.1.1 Leak (L710SPRBLIH)” Odex. As any of you that are running JB know, wifi tether is not working. Although I have used wifi tether exclusively in the past, in attempting to use “WiFi Hotspot / WiFi Tether” by Innodroapps (free in Market), I was able to use Bluetooth tether to run my iPad. When I select “Wi-Fi Tethering” on the opening screen, I go to a screen on which I can select “Bluetooth tethering.” I select it, turn on Bluetooth on my iPad and voila. Hopefully, this helps someone out there. I will be Bluetooth tethering until the app guys out there modify wifi tethering to work with Jelly Bean.
UGH - trouble working this a.m. It appears that it may have only worked last night b/c my cell was tethering to my router at the time. Sorry.

Thanks for trying to find a solution for JB tethering but that app you are using is only a shortcut to the tether settings on our phones. It is not a hack which provides free tethering and here you go, enjoy your first thanks!

[Q] Tethering on EE

I happily used wireless tethering on my rooted Desire, so figured it wouldn't be too different doing exactly the same with my new One X.
I originally tried to use the stock tethering option - new phone, new firmware. I wasn't surprised when it didn't work. So I waited until I had routed my phone to try the app I used on my Desire - Wireless Tether. It didn't work. So I tried WiFi Tether for Root Users (the update of Wireless Tether). And FoxFi. And ClockworkMod Tether. And WiFi HotSpot/WiFi Tether. And Barnacle Wifi Tether...
When I activate Wireless Tether (or WiFi Tether), it begins tethering "with errors, check log". I open the log and find it's failed: Setting ad-hoc mode, Setting essid, Setting channel and (if active) Activating encryption (iwconfig). The rest did not fail, but of course I can't see it in the network list due to the essid failing.
I can only assume the other apps encounter similar errors. FoxFi simply says "WiFi mode has failed on your phone. Please use Bluetooth mode instead.". When I try Bluetooth mode: "Fail to activate. Internet not detected.", although there is definite data up and down stream.
I'm connected to the 'EE' network, formerly Orange (they've changed names), though that didn't affect my Desire when I tried it last week, it still worked. I'm running Android Revolution HD 9.7.2. I've tried creating a new APN with the same settings, but that didn't change anything.

I tried the other day to wifi tether my hox and couldn't but my old legend could, which is weird. I did mange to get it working by turning auto connect off on laptop and manually inputting the key. I ended up using usb tether in the end though, but only due to phone needing charging

USB tethering doesn't connect either...

Paranoid Android 4.2.2 (3.15) tethering

I've been using ParanoidAndroid on my Note II and recently I realized that wifi tethering does not work. The service indicates it is active but it does not transmit a wireless network name, so no device can connect to it by wifi. Bluetooth tethering works. I have tried 3rd party rooted apps and they indicate that the cannot run because ad-hoc mode cannot be entered. Is there anything I can do like change the kernel or some other mod or app that is able to run tethering? Or do I need to just wait for the developer to provide an updated rom that fixes this?

wifi tethering doesn't work
that's exactly what i'm getting too, error starting ad-hoc mode... hope this gets fixed :crying:

[Q] Bluetooth Tethering

My SGS3 doesn't have the option "Bluetooth Tethering" under Settings/More/Tethering and portable hotspot. I've seen numerous posts/videos saying to simply check that box to get bluetooth tethering working. I want to tether my Note8 via bluetooth to my SGS3 i747m.
Is this option disabled by my carrier (Bell)? If so, with a rooted phone, is there an easy way, on the stock rom, to re-enable it?
Tethering is allowed on my plan, Wifi tethering works fine, but I want bluetooth for the power savings and ability to leave it on all the time with minimal hit to my battery life.
I tried FoxFi, and got bluetooth tethering working that way. However, I found that many apps check for wifi/cellular connectivity, and when there is none (since I'm on bluetooth), they complain about having no Internet access and refuse to work, while other apps that don't check work fine. Is this the case with the built-in bluetooth too, or a side-effect of the FoxFi/PDANet Tablet apps doing dirty tricks to make things work?
