Wireless Tether

Please help! All suggestions are welcome.
After flashing OMJ's 2.2 ROM on the first day of its release (knowing that wireless tether would not work), something has been preventing wireless tether from working in all ROMS.
I have tried everything I know (which is not much)... different combos of radios and wimaxes, several different ROMs (based off both 1.3x and 1.4x), different kernels... nothing can get it working.
I am guessing that there may be data somewhere that did not get wiped through recovery or through doing my nand restore.
Thanks!

There are a couple different updates for the Wireless Tether app floating around. Versions 2.0.5 pre 4, pre 5, and pre 6. I've had success with all of them varying by rom. Can't post the links right now, but some of the rom threads have them posted in the OP. You'll probably have to try each one til you find the one that works. One of them should.
[EDIT] I think there's a pre 7 also.

wireless hotspot for 3g works fine on cm6. it's a 2.2 aosp rom. no sense. don't ask about including sense. won't happen. 4g currently doesn't work, and i'm not sure that a 4g hotspot will, because sprint's implementing a MAC confirmation with 4g hotspot (they really wanna charge you 30 bucks a month for it).
but, 3g hotspot works fine on cm6 2.2. that's my point. that's all there is, don't ask for more.
other roms have 4g functioning, so i'd assume 4g hotspot works on those, if you pay for it.

I know pre7 works on my ROM and most other Froyo ROMs.

Pre7 only works on the HTC stock kernels iirc. If you're using an oc kernel please try the other versions listed of it doesn't work for you

yea the pre 7 works, you can jus google it like i did

sorry that I did not make this clearer in the original post but I have indeed tried all of the different wireless apps (including pre 7) with a variety of ROMs and nothing is working.
The problem I am focusing on is that I originally had wireless tether working on fresh 1.01 (based off 1.47), I created a nand backup, flashed OMJ's 2.2 ROM, then when I restored back to the Fresh ROM my wireless tether was kaput.
None of the combinations of different version of the app, ROM, kernel, radio, and wimax (and I have probably tried 50+ unique combinations over the past week) have provided any working results.
I even went through the entire ROOT process again, and still nothing is working.
EDIT: What I'm trying to emphasize here is that once I flashed a 2.2 ROM wireless tether stopped working on ALL ROMs... even the 1.3x and 1.4x based ROMs

I have the same problem... the program starts just fine but the download data amount gets stuck at . 4 and my laptop can't find the connection at all. Had OJ Rom and now running latest version of fresh... please help!

Well I installed the pre-8 version of wireless tether and it worked one night and then I had the same problem... I'm using easy tether now until I can get this thing working again. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Two weeks later and I still have not solved this... any help?

Wireless Tether is working fine for me.Fresh 3.0.1 w/Netarchy Kernel 4.0.3 and pre-8 tether .apk
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I understand that for nearly everybody wireless tether IS working. However, given the ludicrous number of combinations I have tried, including everybody's latest and greatest app/ROM/kernel it is safe to say that my problem does not lie in the use of something out of date.
I need NEW suggestions from someone way more experienced than myself.

pretty weird - mine has worked on every rom I've tried.
have you tried CM6?
Also where exactly are you getting stuck?

im having the same problem tried pre 8 now 7 both say activating wifi interface failed, starting access point -failed,

Tether working fine, except I can't watch espn videos for some reason.

try this maybe
Had the issue after running ava v3.
Wipe everything, data cash, dalvik. Dont flash your previous radios or wimaxs, they arent for froyo. Once everything is wiped flash your new rom. Evio 1.1 works great. When you open wifi tether, it should ask you for user permission, if it doesnt somethig is wrong with your su app.
We need more details about your issue. Otherwise all anyone can suggest is wipe everything and flash another rom and try runnig the app. Or like someone else suggested uninstall and reinstall verious versions. But the first time you run wifi tether super user should pop up, if it doesnt this is what is preventing u from running wifi tether.

I'm sorry I did not specify exactly what was happening, but I thought that since this was a well known error for the early adopters of 2.2 people would be familiar with the nature of my problem.
When I put ANY rom on my evo (regardless of whether it's 2.1 based or 2.2) my wireless tether program does not send data. The app itself works fine (gets SU request), creates a network, it just doesn't transmit data because of the authentication Sprint worked into froyo.
My UNIQUE problem, is that this problem persists even when not using those early 2.2 roms. I have tried HUNDREDS of variations of radios/wimax/app editions/ROMs/kernels (including the latest releases) and it does not matter what I do, when I start up wireless tether it stops at .4kb and will not transmit the connection to my computer.
I have gone beyond wiping all of my data (through amon recovery), I even went back tot he 1.3x RUU and went through the whole root process AGAIN and still the problem persists.
There is something on this phone that the data wipes are not removing that is blocking this function, and I do not know how to revert it back. PLEASE HELP.

ive got mine working but its alot slower then even dialup..tried 7 and 8 and same results with both.. Tried on the AC rom and a stock rooted here (using a stock rooted off this forum which the op says works fine for him ...

Serious Issue with my phone(WIFI and SCREEN)

So I have no idea how this came to happen but i am currently having issues with my phones wifi. Each time i turn on the phones WIFI and connect to any network it kills both the 3G data and the WIFI data, making it so i have to reflash a new rom to use data again. Another issue is that when i turn off my screen if i am connected to the wifi it will not turn the screen back on unless I do a battery pull. Lastly if i go into settings to try to turn off WIFI i get a force close and have to reflash to get my phone running again.
Things I've tried
1.Flashed New Rom
2. Flashed New Radios and Kernels
3.Connected to multiple wifi hotspots
4. Used a RUU to reset to factory settings
5. Root and Unroot
6. Tried new SD card and Battery

Do me a favor and take a screenshot of your "about phone" information. Also, which recovery are you using? When did all of this start? Now when connected to a wifi network, it temporarily disconnects your 3G data. That is normal. You also stated that it disconnects your wifi data. Please explain?

When i connect to wifi it makes it so no data works. Ill post a screenshot of my phone.If i connect to any wifi hotspot and try to connect to the internet nothing connects it fails everytime no matter if it use 3g or wifi after that until i reflash my rom

You don't, by chance, have an adblocker built into the rom you're using, do you?

I was using CM7
I have tried almost every rom and even used the RUU from sprint to bring it back to default and rerooted it,i'm using hardware 002 and wondering if its possible i messed up my wifi when i used the 802.11n patch a while back also do you think flashing someone elses nanroid could fix it?

Also when i hit wifi it will get stuck saying turning on and wont allow me to do anything on the phone until it is reset

I do not recommend flashing a nandroid from another device, however, I do recommend flashing a different kernel. Kernels can have an effect on wifi, the camera and other things.

i flashed a few different kernels

Well, you may have to call Sprint and have them troubleshoot from their end.

[Q] Data Connectivity Causes LGOG to Crash

I rooted and unlocked my ls970 and loaded Lifeless v14. Now the phone never shows data signal, and if I try to update the PRL, it will start a 3g connection, but the phone will immediately crash. It just goes back to the boot screen for about two seconds, and then starts working normally. wifi didn't work until I restored my efs. I don't know if that had anything to do with it. I tried an AOSP rom, and it didn't work either. I'm not sure what to do here.

Do a full restore with the stock BIN file, Its about 850MB, It will unroot your phone and restore your phone back to stock. Then check to see if the problem persist. Remember to update the PRL & Profile. Let me know if you need further assistance.

Thanks for the help. I flashed the stock image and then the 3g indicator was on, but data didn't work until I updated the PRL and Profile. After that it was working fine. I re-rooted, unlocked, and loaded lifeless rom. It is working like a champ.

Help with WiFi Tether on Note 2

HELP! I have tried manny methods and fixes, but for some reason I cannot get my WiFi Tether to work!
The log shows, everything has passed, and it should be started. I do see the Download and Upload meters at the bottom, however it will not broadcast an SSID for my devices to see!!
I have tried manny settings on it, but in the past the ones that worked were
Generic ICS/JB (wlan1)
Netd(master)
WiFi Reload 2
But so far nothing is working. I have downgraded SuperSU, Downgraded the wifi app itself, tried diffrent versions nothing seems to work!!
Hell even the native tether on the ROM itself is bugging out. First time It connected, but the data would start freaing out, closing connects etc when a device was trying to use it. Now as soon as the tether enables it dissables itself. There is another wifi tether mod that came with the app, but I refuse to pay $15 for more than 5 min of ussage per day. I think that is just dumb.
This is what I have
Sprint Note 2 L900
Carbon Mod JB v1.6
Android 4.2.2
I really dont want to flash a diffrent rom. This is the FIRST one I have actually got it to work this far past a stock rom. For some reason every 4.4 ROM I tried, the modem does not work. I tried new modem drivers but still nothing. All other JB Rom's I have tried 4.1 - 4.3 each have diffrent issues for some reason. So I need to stick to this if at all cost. If you guys can reccomend a very good stable rom I might try it but I need WiFi on my devices! Help ! THanks

Worked like a charm thanks a lot!!!!!

Same issue with hotspot using super g2 rom.
I tried updating PRL but my data still goes on and OFF. Is there another hotspot mod I can use with this rom? Any help would be appreciated.

As a bump to this thread, and to keep the forums tidy, I, too, am having issues with SuperG2
I flashed it and it worked beautifully but I was unable to get any data service. I tried updating PRL/Profile but that would not work. Kept giving me a network error.
That being said, I finally got data to work (beyond me, not sure how this happened but I did NOT get PRL/Profile to update) and was using it merrily until I began to restore some files I had backed up via Titanium.
I rebooted to get the data from these files to run smoothly but after a reboot I lost all connection. It told me that my service was disabled.
I reflashed the ROM but am back to square one - unable to updated my PRL/Profile and cannot get any data, even tho the LTE logo is at the top and spinning. WiFi tethering works and I can access the internet in this way, but not in any other way.
I am being forced to go back to stock =(
Any help would be appreciated.

Connect to wifi then update the profile and prl (can be done at home if you have wifi, or mcdonalds, or starbuck, or anywhere that has open wifi)

Similar Issue
Running SuperG2, comming from Milestone1. I cannot seem to get the WiFi tether to work on SuperG2. It worked great on Milestone1. I tried the update PRL while Wifi tether is active but to no avail. I'm not sure if it's related but my signal kinda sucks too. Where I normally get 4g now I only get 3g with sparatic 4g and I also loose my signal altogether at times. I have to activate airplane mode and then deactivate it to get my signal back. I would go back to Milestone1 but SuperG2 is the frontline. Need to keep moving forward. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
