anyone haev their tether working on 4.2? wifi tether, built in tether, and all other 3rd party apps dont work anymore. it was working on 4.1.2 but not on 4.2.
Wifi-tether working straight away here, I just enabled it and my computer connected straight away.
I did however install 4.2 with a full wipe, it seems people using the OTA have had plenty of bugs non of which I've experienced.

I did a clean install and wipe from 4.1.2 to 4.2 as well, re- rooted it as well and no dice. No update available from the app store either.
The built in works on mmuzzy ROM for me

Seems to be a common problem over at the Wireless Tether for Root Users development site :-/
I use it a ton and miss it badly.
mine seems to be broken too how weird

any update on this? works on macs but not windows or xbox.
I was using a AOKP ROM with lean kernel (4.1.x) and wifi tethering was working fine.
I then went to 4.2.1 and 4.2.2, WiFi tethering so far has been broken.
I tried Bigxie's deoxed, tried Android Revolution HD 10.x, and Rootbox's 4.2.2 nightly with the same result where WiFi tethering doesn't work. In my case, the client that is trying to connect will connect, IP is assigned but it won't be able to access the internet.
The ROM flashing were a full wipe, as well as dirty wipe - made no difference.
I was using Pdanet on a USB tether and it no longer works after update. My phone is totally stock with no mods. I did a factory wipe and reinstalled everything and still a no go. PC is a Windows 7 box with all associated drivers reinstalled. Contacted June fabrics (Pdanet Dev) about it and they think its a driver issue.

I also have these threads gpoing on it. Though you will get better support here than at the Google Dev forums.

For anyone that is interested, I got an email from PDAnet yesterday that says they have fixed the problem with a new PC side software install. I don't know if this helps any of you but there is a fix out there at least for PDAnet.
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.

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've been scouring forums trying to find an answer, hoping someone can help.
I've got a rooted Sprint Note II running Android 4.4.2 and I can't get any version of wifi tethering to work.
I tried the X Tether xposed module (with a bunch of different settings) and TrevE Mod of course doesn't work.
I tried to purchase Fabio Grasso's WiFi tether router (which I saw many times in my forum searches) but playstore on my phone says it's not supported for my device and won't let me download it.
I was able to purchase and install it on my Note Pro 12.2 tablet, but couldn't get an APK to transfer over to my Note 2. The apk downloader chrome extension only works on a computer, not on the android version of chrome (as far as I can tell) so I couldn't get it that way either.
I honestly forgot which ROM I flashed, but it was either Diamond Rom v6.0 or Alliance-NE2-Build_1 (pretty sure it was the latter)
I'm willing to flash another ROM to get this to work. Not sure what to do, but I really want tether working again, especially since my tablet is the wifi only version.
Any tips?
rwilco's rom's been working fine with tethering for me:
