I live in sweden and i recently got a t-mobile galaxy s2. i am trying to usb tether and wifi tether, but when I check the box it get unchecked again, and the wifi tether slider refuses to toggle state to on. I installed kies on windows 7 which can recognize the device as a storage device but i can not use the device as a modem. My guess is that the application on the phone that allow me to tether is some what locked or work with T-mobile and not with providersin sweden and thus I might need to install a custom android Rom from. I looked for solutions over the internet and I could not find much, I even reinstalled android via kies, but that did not help. Please help, what should I do, and if I need to install a rom which is the best one that support viper and other popular applications, because I installed one time xdaandroid on my old HTC, but viper application said that their team does not support custom made Roms. Thanks

I'm in US on Tmobile but they want more money to let you tether so I found this and it works.

Hello,
I did a search, but the only reference to tethering seem to involve custom ROMs. I have rooted the stock phone and need to use wifi tethering for my Win8 tablet. Is this possible? I tried turning on tethering in the phone settings, but it says to contact AT&T. So I downloaded a wifi tethering program, but no wifi hot spots show up on my tablet.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

there are touchwiz-based roms (if you prefer that look/style) in the Android Development section and AOSP-based roms in the Original Android section. look over both sections to see what you might like. read up. most touchwiz roms have been modified and have native tethering. tethering is also standard on the AOSP roms.
installing a custom recovery and rom are covered in the attached directions. cheers

Yes, I'd like to stay on stock, so I'll look for barnacle. Thanks!
Keep in mind to some providers can track it and will charge u or shut off data till u add feathering to ur plan. I have been doing it on ATT with no issue but I have had friends on provider like straight talk that have experienced this

Got Barnacle but it's not working. Says "Wifi: Could not set ad-hoc mode of wlan0: Operation not supported on transport endpoint". I suspect it's some monkeying around by AT&T...
I already told you that you can find a stock based rom in the Android development section that has tethering established on it. That feature will be listed among the other features in the rom OP. Do some reading/research for yourself if you truly want tethering instead of leaning on a half-baked app supplied by someone who's intel comes from straight talk friends. These developers are on this site for a reason...they're the best. Cheers
What's the ROM version on your phone? Flashable mods have been made for all the stock ROMs...
Assuming you're on the stock AT&T 4.1.1 release, you'll need to flash a modified framework-res.apk in order to tether.

Im also on a rooted but stock ATT rom. Foxfi worked until the jellybean update. What changes when you flash the modified framework?

You need to post your ROM version, so we can find you correct MOD...

I'm looking man... The search is trash with broad topics like this, it just reorganizes the threads... So far I've found flashable mods for LEM and LG1... I thought someone made it for LK3...

Wow... XDA search is absolute trash... all it did was reorganize the threads... Would you have a problem with flashing a stock ROM with the mods you need?
Thanks for the help. Ive been running up against a brick wall on this.

Well people built flashbale mods to enable it for I thought was all the SW versions, I only found older sw versions... Are you opposed to flashing a whole ROM?
No, Im not opposed to flashing a new rom.
I wont loose anything by doing that right?

Sorry for bombarding the forum with questions. As I've mentioned in a previous thread I just bought the gnex as a replacement since I'm grandfathered in and can't afford a new phone.
Anyway, sorry about that. Is there a way to get adobe flash without rooting. Can a apk work, if so could someone send it to me? I tried getting it via Google play previously installed apps but it won't work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Flash is no longer supported beyond jellybean
There is a workaround follow the guide I linked to get flash working.
you can get the apk from official flash website, I use firefox browser after installing flash apk and it works just fine(most of time) I'm on 4.4 based rom
wish Adobe still officially supported Linux in general
Thanks both of you. I do intend on rooting just haven't had the time.
As for the .apk. Do you know if it will work with with 4.2.2 and other browsers or just FF?
Thanks.
PS
You said supported beyond JB. I'm on JB, 4.2.2

rooting your galaxy nexus will take no time at all
once you've unlocked bootloader and installed custom recovery(ALL EXTREMELY SIMPLE) you can just flash either the superuser root zip if you plan to stay stock, or ANY of the roms available all seem to come with root(except shiny, which to root you just flash the su zip after)
just wanted to let you know that it's NOTHING to be stressed about, EXTREMELY easy to do ANYTHING on the Gnex
I am POSITIVE it will NOT work with Chrome. chrome on android doesn't support flash playback at all, never has, go figure huh? the desktop chrome comes with it's OWN flash version, but not for android lol!
it SHOULD however work with the aosp stock browser, firefox, and dolphin browser(i think dolphin browser has a special add-on to support using flash)
and also maybe opera and some others. any specific one you were thinking about?
I can send ya the apk I use personally if you want it, no need to root to install it, just enable unknown sources in security settings in main settings, install the apk, and I usually reboot after that just to be "sure" is being recognized by browser apps.
and I'm not CERTAIN, but I think official support was stopped at/after.initial release of 4.1 JB, JB held the name from 4.1-4.3
Do you still need flash? I havent installed it and have no issues at all. Maybe it is included in the browser?

You need to read about each rom........then your question will be answered.
Hey thanks!.........
A stock rom
The closest to stock I found for 4.4.2 was Blazed ROM. It hasn't been rid of boat. Wi-Fi works too, I use it and use fennys updated kernel and WiFi hack. The blazed ROM comes with fennys first kernal.

You can hack the stock rom pretty easily to get the WiFi hotspot hack. You just need root and a little work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52794746&postcount=166

Easiest and most overlooked way is to root and install xposed
framework then download and enable X Tether it just starts the devices tethering without going though the T-Mobile account verification
Thanks!!
I just got the Note 3 myself.
I hope someone could clarify if I'm seeing the situation correctly...
If I don't want to trip the Knox counter, but I want to mod through Xposed, then I'm just flying blind without a custom recovery, right? There are no other reliable ways to back up my device before tinkering with Xposed?
