I was just browsing the internet on my phone just now and a the SU box just popped up requesting access for my phone app. Anyone know what that's all about? Why would it need SU? How could it even request access to SU? I'm confused.

Only thing I can think of is to remove the driver but, why would you not want Wi-Fi?

You'll want to remove the bcm4329.ko file. I forget where it is located. Give me a minute to find.
Yeah - delete bcm4329.ko from /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko. Back it up to your sdcard first.
You'll need root, but this will keep your wifi from working - however, I am not 100% sure it won't break anything else. More like 99% sure. Be sure someone else confirms this before you do so.
To restore your wifi, take the backup of bcm4329.ko on your sdcard, put it back in that directory listed above, and reboot.
that did it! thank you very much captainreynolds!
Doesn't want it for security issues

I am having to do the same thing for my kids for their phones. I have a Kyocera Milano, and an HTC evo shift. What is the file I need to remove to disable the wifi for those phones. Thanks a ton for the help, have been searching for hours how to do this. The bcm listed above is not on the kyocera phone.
You can try a different approach by using Avast! Security found in Play Store. It provides antivirus protection, it also has a firewall that you is customizable by app and type of access; Wifi, mobile, roaming. You can set up a pin number for security. This gives the flexibility of allowing some apps to use Wifi or not. Check it out as an alternative of no Wifi at all.
G2 using Mimicry 1.5.0
Thanks for the advice...will check it out this am.
Avast working great...Thanks!
Question - I rooted my phone and installed FD26 rooted...problem is that the email client I have to use to get my work email does a root check and will not function on a rooted phone - is there some way to stay rooted but appear un-rooted at certain times or to certain apps?

Uninstall, freeze or trying hiding the su app. Do you know what your client is checking for?

Nope..not sure what it's checking for to determine the phone is rooted. Not being too familiar with such things, is there a common method that apps use to check for root access and can that be defeated so that a rooted phone appears non rooted?
Are they using Mobile Iron where you work?

Hey guys, I've been using workarounds and such for a very long time with my T-Mobile phones, and T-Mobile has been sending me "you're going to be blocked" messages for a while and I've just ignored them. Now, it says "you're blocked" and I just thought ok, I'll use a mobile user agent on my computer and secure sites...
Not so fast - my mobile hotspot SSID doesn't even show up on my laptop anymore using my Wireless Tether for Root Users app...how is this possible?
I'm on the stock rooted JB rom
I believe they started blocking by the user agent on your browser. You'll need to set it to something Android generic.
EDIT: just saw your comment on your user agent. Nevermind.
What message have they been sending?

Please, tell us more about what you have tried. You're using the Treve Mod - Wireless Tether app? And you changed the APN using the APN Backup and Restore?
That's the problem with jb touchwiz, ssid doesn't show. You need to adjust a few settings in the wifi tether app.. or there's a modded one floating around. I forget where the instructions are, but more workaround are definitely there for your problem

The modded app that you're talking about: Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1988735 and download the one labelled "WifiTether-TrevE_Mod_11_22_2012_driverReload2." You should go into settings and change the Device-Profile to 'Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)'. SSID does show up and WiFi-Encryption and Access Control both work for me.
Hope this helps.
We got multiple threads on this. please search before posting. Also wrong section.

You could delete the wifi driver.

If you are rooted, go to /system/lib/modules and delete dhd.ko. Bam, WiFi is gone.
If you're not rooted, well I don't have an answer for you.

ES File Explorer has root rights for free, could be something to look into.

We don't have the full story here. Maybe you should tell why there is a block on you using Wi-Fi at work? We wouldn't want to get you dismissed.

I think they just picked random users and blocked them, with new phones we can connect and some of the olders can to.. Others don't.. I'm just asking because some of you guys understand a lot better than me... And I was going to flash my phone to give it a try...and then I remembered to ask you first..
I think you need to find out what the full procedure is to connect. If it is random blocking as you say, that will probably be by IMEI. It might be you're using the wrong protocol to connect.

The definitions and password is OK, but when connect it trys to reconnect all the time..
So the flash won't work?
