ok so i live and breath tethering so when i upgraded to the 4.3 rooted TW rom i was about to kick myself for not making sure I had tethering. But then I found this zip, tried it, and it failed... at first. So here is how i got it to work, on my phone and my wifes (both T999's).
*-All credit for this goes to Jovy's extensive work and abraham.ramirez for the flashable zip I am just bringing this to the masses
1. D/L android terminal emulator
2. D/L this zip and get it onto your phone somewhere you can flash it
3. open term emu and enter these commands
su(grant/approve)
mount -o remount,rw /system
rm /system/app/Teth*
exit
exit(closes app)
4. reboot into recovery and flash zip
5. after reboot go into settings/More Networks/Tethering - enable tethering
6. hit back button and then go into Mobile Networks/Access Point Names
7. press the circle next to Tethering APN
8. quickly before it jumps to epc automatically hit the menu button(bottom left of hanset) and while the circle is still next to Tethering APN press the Reset to default button that popped up.
9. DONE!!! - Native tethering now enabled... no more TMobile browser popup or user agent changer - connect your laptop, tablet, or whatever and away you go
took me a minute to figure it out on my phone but my wifes went within 2 minutes of having the zip on the handset. Hope this helps.
Same thing was happening to me. Did what you said right here and guess what? IT WORKS!! Thank you so much

Awesome work brother. Working like a charm now.
Or you can try wifi tether router in the play store which works great too plus your speed doesn't get crippled while downloading data intensive files, like streaming movies etc

Woot Tethering!
Any particular rom? or are you talking about Doc's leak#2?
I also must have tethering working.
Second question how are the new modems working out? I keep seeing peeps saying that they are crappy on wifi and data???
Thanks for the fix... just need to know which rom to use.

Should work for any TW 4.3 rom. Maybe 4.1.2 also but not sure. Cant say anything about the modems yet I'm still trying them out.
just wanted to point out, this is from the UVUEMJ4 leaked rom, in my case it would not work on UVUEMJC (tmos latest ota) i had to pull my framework-res.apk, decompile,mod,recompile and push it back to get it to load and not freeze at boot.
Really. I am on official not leak. Works fine for me.

I can verify, that it doesnt work for all because it doesnt work for me...
Im on a T-mo stock, rooted, T-999, GS3 and on the suggetion of ther I bought this app to no avail... after listening to others suggestions, and even the dev suggested settings, nothing I do work... I have been able to get it to so my network ssid on bot my N10 and my xbox360, but the times when its connected...t theres always an issue where the is no data(internet access) on tethered devices... the xbox goes as far as to tell me its an issue (error) having to do with the IP ... and once you get past the initial settings process.. Dev hasnt been ( or hasnt tried) much help or assistance since.
After I flashed the zip I'm stuck in a bootloop. Any ideas why?

Things you will need:
1) rooted phone
2) root explorer app (paid)
3) sqlite editor (paid - root explorer will direct you to it)
*** Now that cm9 is available I wanted to update this posting to let you know that these instructions are for stock gingerbread as well as the custom gingerbread roms. Cm9 has this option natively and you won't need to do this on cm9. Just want to save anyone from having problems with cm9. Now if your on gingerbread, go for it. ***
Now go to this directory with root explorer:
/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
(You will have an option to open it with the internal viewer or SQLite editor, choose SQLite editor)
Select secure
Now locate tether_entitlement_check_state and change the value to 0 then save and reboot.
Now you can use the built in tethering without the pop-up saying that you don't have a tethering plan.
I hope this helps you guys out.

This is exactly why I'm using the ClockWorkMod app. I've already been kicked off my unlimited data plan once for "unauthorized tethering" and it was hell getting back on the plan. The loophole to do so is no longer available, so I really don't want to get kicked again.
I'll have to wait and see how it works out for others. But good job on showing us the way to enable it. Thumbs up!
If I'm not mistaken, the tether_entitlement_check_state will not be available in the database until first attempt enabling tethering.
interesting thread. moved to DEV as this could be handy for future development.
the only disclaimer I'll put in is that it's at your own risk if you break any terms of service from your carrier....

Ok I am on the new unlimited data plan that just came out. I was rooted on the stock rom.
T mob pushed me a text last night saying wireless tether has been blocked for me. I was using the wifi tether app from the play store and it seems I cant use it. I also tried foxfi and its not doing anything.
So I flashed cm10 thinking I could get around it and I saw I couldnt tether still with it?
Edit using uvlh2 radio
Was still using stock kernal
Any ideas guys?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Which radio/baseband are you running? If you've updated to the newest leaks, ie. LI2 or LI3...somehow wifi tethering isn't working. But i've gone back to LH2 and everythings good.

I had the WiFi Tether App v3.1 beta working on H2 on ICS. It will not work on any JB with the same radio.
On frosty's JB ROM, hotspot in settings wanted to start up, but it immediately tried to get me to upgrade to tethering plan - and then would close when I wouldn't.
It only FC'd on Xquizi JB, and the beta will not work there either. The beta had worked on the ICS ROM's I had tried - including Xquizi's. Did not use it enough to be sure TMo would not block it though.
Are you saying it functions but ur getting the upsell page? If that's the case the baseband shouldn't matter. They block ur tethering based on your user agent. Make sure ur not using internet explorer. Best way around it is Firefox w/ the user-agent switcher add-on.
I'll keep that in mind. I however had the text from t mob saying its been blocked. It can still connect to the net but I get the up sell page.

OP's problem is different. His T-mobiles fault. I have been running into it too. Here is how I am currently working around it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1883120&page=4
I am still looking for a better solution.
I've got two GS3's... One I've had for a while, is using Ice Cream Sandwich, is rooted and runs wifi tether just fine.
I got another one tonight for the wife and allowed it to update to JellyBean, but it seems we can't root Jellybean to get the free wifi tether. Is this correct or if I root it, is there a wifi tether that works?
If not, what steps do I take to switch back to ICS?
cm10 is one of the few jb rom which has working wifi tether. if you want to go back to ics you can probably find the ics odin tar, however i would just use one of the ics based roms on the thread.
Thanks! I kinda thought this is the direction I would need to go... Can you point me to a link to get the ICS ROM?

From what I can gather from xda and my own experience, wifi tether on cm10 is NOT working. Doesn't sound like it is a cm10 specific issue though. I am on nightly 11-07 and wifi tether appears to work fine but the client doesn't actually get access to the cellular internet data.
I would love to be corrected and get this working though!

I got the wifi tether that's native to CM10 to work when I installed CM10. Only problem now is that CM10 makes the functionality of the device so much different than the stock ICS or JB GS3 that my wife isn't thrilled. So, now my challenge is to find themes that best "look" like ICS or JB from Google.
Any suggestions???

Same thing happened to me, had to hit allow at least 20 times. Either case, ended up not working for me on stock rooted.
I also have stock rooted JB. It DID work. I tried on ipod touch, Galaxy Tab and a laptop. They all worked fine. Only problem was not being able to turn Wifi back on after shutting down tether. Had to reboot.
I used Nexus CDMA profile, encryption OFF, Access control ON.
It DOES work.

I've tried your EXACT same settings and it doesn't work. I can see the network, but can't connect. Without fallback tether checked, I don't even see the network at all. This is my luck, for sure.
Works for me. I didn't change a thing. I opened the app after installing it and pressed the wifi button in the center of the screen. It worked and my buddy with his iPhone was able to connect and browse the web.

Why would you need to keep the screen on . Are you using the tether app posted in step 1 ?
When my phone sleeps so does the tethering app..
I do have battery defender installed but not active maybe that could be a problem. I would think if not active it wouldn't interfere maybe I am wrong

T-Mobile can still tell you're tethering via user agent . It's only a matter of time before you get the text or have to use a user agent switcher. If you use the VPN your data is encrypted and tmobile can't snoop through your data .

So what if you set up a VPN through an NAS or router on your home network, and used the vpn software built into the phone. The S3 comes with two built in vpn clients, the native android vpn client, and the Authentec one in the app drawer pre installed by samsung. (does anyone have any opinion on differentiation between the two by the way)
I would test this myself right now, but havent set up the VPN capabilities of my home NAS, and wont be home for several days. But am really curious about this now.
I have in the past used a VPN through my old work work to netflix and hbogo and use my Play Music acount abroad, so I have high hopes for this idea.
Someone please test. I'm dying to know. I'll play and post when I get back.

Someone please test. I'm dying to know. I'll play and post when I get back.

Yeah i can confirm this works. You'll lose some speed (1-2 mbps) but its still a great option

i hadnt read back here and had quite a ride. i installed 2.3.6 and i didnt redirect but i guess the radio or modem wasnt as developed as now and was suuuper slow but i enjoyed having gb on my s2. they should beef them up to now standards and re-release those, if possible. but yeah i threw the galaxy rom and it was blazing fast with no redirect and then tmobile shut my internet off for like 4 hours and its a half speed now even though i have unlimited nationwide. and im talking play store wont load, why do i still stay there?!?!?! haha NOPE I TAKE IT BACK I LOVE DOWNLOADING APPS THAT FREEZE MY PHONE UP AND DONT WORK AND WONT FORCE QUIT I HAVE TO HARD REBOOT!

Wow, thank you very much guys it works great especially that 1click vpn. One thing tho, I can't access my favorite torrent site I guess because everything is encrypted.

Any tips on what settings you messed with? I'm having the same problems.
Ok first off I've researched and studied this to hell and posting is my last resort. I'm rooted, use vpn shields, have tried several top rated tethering apps from the play store and a proxy. None work, once I try to load a website on my PC the t mobile web page pops up about tethering and such, I am unable to tether. Anyone with suggestions?

That didn't work. As in the app errors out so I didn't get a chance to test it and it's no longer in the play store.

in order to have Tethering work, you MUST Flash the Kernel with a "Tweaked" version that allows Wifi Tether.
the file I got downloaded, I forgot where from is named, SetUIDRestrictRemovedKernel.zip
If you do a google search using the filename I provided above, It should be the second choice. ( I just did the search)
it'll download when you select to....

Aloha and good luck!

if you're using the included Tethering app it works right out of the box! It's the "Trev_E_Mod" tethering and others that are not possible to enable without the Kernel patch......
Ya it seems all the custom roms I tried I could not for the life of me get wifi tethering to work. I had to go back to stock TW for M919 and now it works perfectly. I wish I heard about the tweaked kernel before. Will try the tweaked kernel when I get an itch to flash something new hopefully 4.4 real soon!
