[Q] Wifi tether won't work, rooted KF and Evo 4G

I've searched several threads, but can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Both devices definitely 100% rooted with superuser working fine, permissions granted for all apps.
I installed wifi_tether_v3_1-beta14.apk on the phone.
Device Profile: Evo 4G
Setup-Method: Initially I tried Softap (master). That's the same as infrastructure mode, correct?
Default SSID (AndroidTether)
MSS Clamping checked
Routing Fix checked
If I attempt to run it with these settings, I get a popup informing me the wifi hotspot started, but with errors. The log just says most of the wifi steps failed, I can post details if needed. I don't think it's really running - no upload/download indicator showing at the bottom of the app. My PC can't see the hotspot.
If I switch Setup-Method to Ad-hoc, it runs fine, no errors, PC can see it and connect to it. But KF can't connect to Ad-hoc... so lame.
So, I got ZT-180 Adhoc Switcher.apk for the kindle fire, to switch it to ad-hoc mode. Went to settings, told it to connect to AndroidTether. Switched to Ad-Hoc mode. It says "attempting to connect" ... after a minute it gives up and keeps retrying. The hotspot shows in the list of wifi networks, but it's hanging at "Obtaining IP address".
So, what's the issue? Infrastructure mode not working? Need to flash a custom rom? I read something about maybe needing a non-stock kernel? Upgrade or downgrade my radio?

I finally found a method that works, barely.
Wifi Tether (app listed above) failed.
Adhoc Switcher failed.
Wifi Hotspot Widget failed.
Elixir2's hotspot widget failed (connected but no surf).
The one that worked is free and doesn't even need root apparently: Foxfi.
I say it "barely" worked because even this has issues.
When I tried to create a password, it wouldn't connect.
But if I leave the password blank (no password) it does work.

I just told it to start running, and left the SSID at the default (FoxFi98 I believe).

Problem connecting to WIFI Network at work

Hi all,
we've just installed a radius server at work which works with a certificate on the client side, I'm trying so hard to get my galaxy to connect to the network but I'm having no luck.
I've tried installing the certificate but I'm not 100% sure its installed.
The security for this network displays on my phone as WEP so when I try connect it asks for a password
On my computer I don't get prompted with any password it just automatically connects.
Anyone experienced the same issue and managed to fix this?

[Q] Resetting a rooted Galaxy Nexus to Factory Settings

I decided to reset my Galaxy Nexus (GSM, I think!) to it's factory settings, I should also mention that I have used Wugfresh's toolkit to flash Android 4.2.2 to replace its stock image that the phone came with, I flashed it to Yakju because it took a lot of time for an OTA update, I couldn't wait that long so I flashed it!
So my phone's bootloader is unlocked and it's rooted, all using Wugfresh's toolkit.
SuperSU is installed. Busy Box was installed before resetting.
So I reset the phone to its factory settings, and then when it boots back up it asks for your google account, that's where the problem is.
It takes a lot of time to connect to my WiFi network, and when it tries to connect to my Google account it says that it can't establish a reliable connection to the server.
And the WiFi Icon on the status bar is grey, as if their is no internet connection, although if I open the browser it works just fine, and also the laptop is connected to the same network and is working fine.
Please help, I'm in Pain!

IT WORKED PEOPLE IT WORKED
I'm probably the happiest guy on earth!
here is what I have done:
You must be rooted!
1-DownloadTotal Commander and installed it
2-go to /etc/hosts, click on it and choose Edit file.
3-I had two lines
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.55.56.83 android.clients.google.com mtalk.google.com
I just added a # at the beginning of the second line to make it
#127.55.56.83 blah blah
saved the file, and rebooted my device and tried adding the google account. I don't know if it made any difference but I had my SIM card removed the whole time.

[Q] I9195 - Unable to connect to WIFI network (Authentication error occurred);

So, here it goes.
My goal is to connect to a network using certain MAC address. Wanted network is marked with "open" and I know that it allows access only to certain devices (according to MAC) on which the administrator have gave a permission to. Once your MAC passes the verification, device gets connected to the network and then I'm asked to enter username and password through WEB browser (well known for me, because it is a procedure that I do on my other device, as well as all my colleagues do).
For example, I was allowed to provide one personal MAC address to administrator to connect to this network. I would like to set the MAC address of my other personal device and set it on my I9195 so that I can access the same network.
So, what have I done so far: I9195 is rooted, it has Android 4.2.2 on it and Busybox installed. I have changed MAC on it using following apps: MacChanger (blue WIFI logo), MAC Address Ghost (green ghost logo), using Android Terminal Emulator commands and via MAC Spoofer (black circle with green text logo). What can I conclude: As soon as superuser has granted the access to these apps, all of them manage to change the MAC. I've done the verification using Terminal Emulator. I also have to add that the MAC remains original if viewed from WIFI advanced menu BUT this shouldn't be an issue because:
1.) Colleague of mine is using his S4 (rooted etc.), while using MAC Address Ghost that does not change the original address (viewed from WIFI advanced menu) but he manages to make a spoof (verified from the Android Terminal Emulator, as all of this apps actually do) and he manages to connect without any problems in the same way as I connect with another device that I have!
2.) I had time to make a small test at home which put a light on the idea that the problem should be focused on the Samsung (and not on the router, especially because I am unable to modify anything on the router on this facility, not even restarting it). My home network works in a similar way as the network that we are discussing about. My S4 Mini has been included in it with his original MAC and it connects to the network without any problems. My other device is also included to the network using its MAC (the one that I am using for spoofing). My other device is turned OFF, router has been reset and I am normally accessing the network with S4 Mini. Then I run the MAC Address Ghost to spoof the MAC on my S4 Mini. In that moment, I have lost the connection that I had which means that the MAC spoofer actually did something. I tried to reconnect to the network but then I am asked to enter the password for my network. I have checked and re-checked it many times, tried to forget the network and doing it all over again but it does not accept the CORRECT password. Changing my MAC back to the original one connects S4 Mini back to the network, while accepting the password immediately.
Problem is represented in a way that it either says “saved” and does not connect to the network or every few times displays a message “Authentication error occurred”.
I have tried I would say every possibility that I’ve seen over the internet. That includes:
1.) Installing WiFi Connection Manager (it provided some info regarding the network that I wish to connect to: IEEE 802.11g standard, 54 Mb link and CH:11). I’ve used its function to fix the WIFI (advanced fix (root required)) but it didn’t help.
2.) All sorts of staying close to the rooter, while enabling and disabling the Power save mode (accessed via *#0011# command) or while having GSM signal.
3.) Browsing through system, data etc. folders to try to find the file that contains the MAC address information (like it did on older android versions in the nvram file). I’ve been unable to find this file or any sort of file that displays my MAC for the purpose to modify it.
I have a plan to upgrade Android to version 4.4.2 later today and make a test.
Please, feel free to suggest anything else! If I do not succeed, I will have to replace my S4 Mini with something else.
Kind regards,

QUICK REPLY: After installing CyanoGEN MOD 4.4.2, the problem remains!
I think there could be a shorter solution! On Sony Xperia Acro S with 4.1.2 Android it was just a matter of changing the MAC address within the file data/etc/wifi/fw! One minute modification...
So, please, if somebody knows the path to the file that contains MAC on CyanoGEN MOD 4.4.2 or on Android 4.2.2, PLEASE HELP!
Kind regards!

proxy problem

Hi
I have a galaxy tab s T705 non-rooted device.
some times I use a proxy app like your-freedom or psiphon3 to connect to internet.
I'm using a home WiFi.
after disconnecting the apps I am unable to connect to internet anymore.
while I can connect with other devices and PCs.
I checked my proxy setting under modify network config.
there is no proxy there.
but my firefox and chrome browser showing not able to connect to proxy warning.
any solution?
PS: I had this problem before and factory reset fixing this, but I cant afford factory reset each time I use a proxy app.

I had to problem when connecting to proxys then when I dont use then my internet wont work. The thing that always worked for me is that since the proxy messes with the hosts file in your system, it changes the hosts file that makes you cant connect to the internet. So when you did a factory reset, it resetted that hosts file making your internet work again. If your rooted the fix is to go into etc, and delte the hosts file so when you connect to the internet again, it will make a new hosts file that it was before you used the proxy. Since your not rooted, please try a factory reset again and do not use proxys. Use vpn apps such as cyberghost vpn or hola vpn. Hope this helps!
