I just recently upgraded my GS3 to the newest baseband and firmware. I also updated my current ROM (Dandroid).
Now when I try to use the WiFi Tether for Root app, it just says "Tethering Started with Errors". The app will then saying it is running but it's SSID will not show up on any of my devices.
Does anyone know what the problem is or have another app they use for WiFi tether?

I installed the wireless tether app along with a kernal i was told to install from a youtube tutorial "/watch?v=juQbWzxIzmI&feature=fvw" anyhow it all installed fine and the tethering worked great. but after restarting phone it just continued to say "preparing phone storage, checking for errors" and my camera wasn't working either. So I ended up reflashing the 2.2 froyo rooted of course. Everything is working fine now. I'm guessing that the issue came from the app or kernal not being updated to work with froyo? Is there another way to get free tethering on my phone?
Hi,
I rooted my EVO (temporary root using z4root 1.3). Installed wireless tether from market. Not sure of the version. Ran with defaults. Could not see the device from GTAB. Tried my notebook I am able to see and connect to my device but no internet. Network status says limited or no connectivity. Upgraded wireless tether to latest experimental version from google site.. still the same result. (wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre15.apk). I know my phone is rooted as I get messages saying I am super user.
1)Whats the wireless tether version that is working for others on EVO?
2)Is there any other setup needed on the EVO for this to work ?
thanks
Hello,
I an running stock rooted 4.2.2 on vzw gnex. I have been using wifi tether since I got the phone and now with 4.2.2 it is not working. I get started with errors warning. log shows failed to configure AP and start AP.
I tried MWALT2s disable of native tether check which seem to run fine in recovery but I still get the same errors.

Has anyone with stock rooted 4.2.2 been able to get wifi tether working?
Thanks,

the wifi tether app no longer works but the built-in tether does. there's a copy of a modified version of wifi tether floating around (actually, in this Q & A forum thread!) that some are saying does work but I have not tested it myself (yet)
{edited to add} well, I just installed the hacked version of wifi tether and it works perfectly. the link to it is here in the Q & A thread so you should be able to find it. you will need "unknown sources" checked to allow it to install...
No luck with the wifi tether app, log shows errors.
When using foxfi self service will come up saying i need a subscription to add or something like that so no go there.
BUT...
I can get PDAnet via foxfi to work for USB tethering, AND do wifi share to connect other wireless devices to my phone!
A bit of a hassle but if you have a computer at least you can USB tether to broadcast your phones internet.
I ask though has anyone found a way to get wifi tether to work WITHOUT having to use USB tethering??
I'm not on 4.3; I'm waiting for either for deoxidezed rooted stock rom upload and wait till the official release and it being deoxided rooted stock.
I have found that WiFi tether can be a nickpicky about busybox, especially wihich version is installed. The last version that worked well for me was v1.20.2 linusyang. Anything after that I found to cause to errors. I think it has something to do with kernal, which I'm using Perseus. I get issues with STweaks because of it as well.
It may be worth trying a previous/different busybox install and see what happens. WiFi tether does use Busybox.

Root is done, but can't get wifi tether working on stock JB 4.3 on T-Mobile. I tried both Wifi Tether Router and Wifi Treve Mod 3.3 pre, but they don't work. It seems like the issue is on the mobile hotspot installed which cannot be uninstalled on any apps: tried Titanium, Root App Delete, Root Explorer and other. Please help. ROM flash was not needed on JB 4.1.2.
None of the wifi tether apps work on 4.3 ( I mean NONE!, lol). The way I got around it was to root the 4.3 and flash a 4.1.2 rom that has the hot spot hacked built in. I used JEDI X18 and the built in hot spot worked with no issues. Hope this helps.
flash version 2.1 and the tethering fix
