Has anyone successfully got to teather wifi from T-Mobile s3? I've tried a few things and it won't work without upgrading my service but I have unlimited data.. I have not tried to root because just so many different ways I gave up, hopefully someone knows the working way!

This is the s2 thread. I'll ask a moderator to move it for you.
Have you tried FoxFi? That worked for my without root on the s2.

And yes I have, soon as I start the wifi teather I get message from T-Mobile saying my plan does not include sharing, and cancel or upgrade button

It would probably be easiest to just root your phone using TowelRoot and just install TWRP or CWM and one of the many ROMs. I have tried several ROMs and all of them have what you are looking for. If you want a near stock experience, go for a ROM like S3Rx, StockMOD or many other TW based roms.
Alright daggorlad I'll try that today, thank you

I am going to root my friend's phone, but I don't really want to flash a custom rom. I'm sick of being people's personal tech support guy. His main interest is wireless tethering. Is there a way to unlock hotspot on the stock rom? Thanks

I'm not sure, but I would flash a rooted stock rom for him and then have him download the free wireless tether app from the Market.
The only one I like is "wireless tether for root users" and it doesn't work on the evo..

Yes, it does. I've used that app as my primary internet source when I lived in North Carolina last year ad earlier this year and I have an EVO 4G and was using it with the Wireless Tether app.
On sense or aosp?

Sense. On AOSP, I cannot get it to work with Gingerbread. There is a workaround but I have never tried it.
Ok ill give it a go. Haven't tried it with sense. I used it on my hero for months running cm7 with no problems but no dice with the evo. I even contacted Mueller and downloaded the latest version from Google code..

I just rooted my friends EVO a few weeks ago and left the stock Rom. The wireless tether app is working fine.

I believe you need a kernal which allows WT, try Lithids HTC Evo 4G Freedom-v0.9 Kernel Universal. Download WT right from Google on your phone.

I spent an hour messing with the internet setting of my 2 PC's trying to get them to surf. Then desided to do a search and found this post.
Thank you!!
You actually don't need a custom kernel.....
The hotspot hack works natively once you hack framework.jar.
And the wireless tether app only requires superuser permissions to work.

I was so excited for the unlimited data plan with tmobile so i upgraded and only too find out that you cant tether, so my question is...has any developer found away around this yet? I am so fustrated with rmobile that im actually considering leaving the company for sprint so i can get my unlimited tether and its a shame because i loved tmobile in the past
And to answer everyones question i have tried rooting and a few custom roms and probably every app out there that i can think of to tether
If anyone is able to figure this out or if you found a workaround please let me know thru email [email protected]
THANK YOU!!

No redirections to tmobile site ?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
I guess because it doesn't use an app for tethering but its built into the settings
I haven't had any problems
Try to see if it works its worth a try
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
i had problems before getting redirected to tmobile's site while tethering with my laptop, all i had to do was download a user agent switcher addon for firefox and changed it to a mobile device and it worked again. seems they block regular http connections only. https will work fine without switching the user agent. only downside to changing the user agent is all the sites will load as the mobile versions which can get annoying at times.
then again this was back in november so it might be different now? haven't had to use it since then..

Seriously..for the life of me I can't figure out how this question still comes up. We've had leak after leak and in every thread for every rom this is asked dozens of times. I'm not usually one to chime in on things like this, but it's become so ridiculous it's borderline laughable.
OP, this isn't really a dig directly at you, but for everyone that keeps asking. Simply searching or even reading a thread would have given you an answer.

I hear you..that's why I said I wasn't really directing at you. More venting about the clowns that are in those threads still asking. You searched, so my hat's off. My apologies. Personally, I don't see a huge advantage to the upgrade. I'm staying on ICS for now. For me the battery has been better and can indeed tether if needed.

Apparently some one was able to get the bluetooth to work on there gs3 sharing to there mac book pro. Not wifi but something.

someone special just needs to "mod" the stock native sprint wifi app. its been done on past devices, epic, evo, etc., just don't get why the S3 is lacking when it comes to getting the native wifi app working, neither on ICS or JB.
it's annoying having to rely on third party apps and having to jump through hoops to get one working.
i'd gladly donate funds to make it happen if need be.

Simple solution just use an Aosp rom "WiFi tether for root users" app from play works great on any of em. I'm on Blackbean 6 now and use it all the time. Flawless rom, more customization than anything made & tether works.

Yeah, it's by using the fox fi app, from what I've heard. No wifi tethering but at least bluetooth is something.
Yea I here "no" over and over but that's not good enough lol. Why is it that this has worked on every other rom ever known to mankind but not the new jellybean? I've been emailing and donating trying to get something done but no response, Just it won't work. Anyone know why it won't work.

WiFi Tether does rely on some features of the kernel to work. Perhaps they (Sprint?) changed he Touchwiz kernel for Jelly Bean that broke WiFi Tether.

I think the GSIII for U.S. is not included in the program's driver list. The International version works though. However, there's a program you can download from the PlayStore called Easy Tether. After downloading, follow the instructions to download the Windows (or whatever your OS is). Transfer the program onto your computer and install. Then connect your phone to your PC and you'll have tethering thru USB.
One other thing. The free (unregistered) version will let you browse the Internet but you cannot access Secure sites. You need to upgrade to paid (registered) version in order to access the Secure sites (emails, etc.). It's only $9.99 (one time purchase).

I don't know. If they do, it probably won't be now. I got tired of calling T-Mobile and asking them if they were ever going to release the update. all I got EVER was the last update was on may 7th. That's all we have. Thanks. Is there anything else we can help you with?

Before everyone starts berating you for not installing another rom, I installed goldeneye and it was fine for a bit and got terrible lag on the home screen and app drawer. So I went back to rooted stock again. Only rom for my phone that is smooth.
Okay one of these thread whining about t mobile updates just got locked. Can we not start a new one?
If you want updates now, root your phone and update it to your heart's content. That is what XDA is here for.
If you want to stay stock for whatever reasons and complain about a lack of updates, do it on the t mobile forums. They have forums there that are monitored by people who might actually listen and do something about it. There are zero people from t mobile reading this thread.

I got the opposite - lag with stock and not with custom ROM's (and kernels) like Wicked and Omega.
The post above is good idea - flood the tmobile forum.
