So my stupid self accidentally deleted my tethering provision (apk) instead of duplicating it. If someone could back up theirs and upload here that would be awesome. I'm currently rooted on Lollipop if that's any different. Thanks in advance.
Edit: I use the adroid app WiFi Tether so I do not use the native tethering application. If deleting the tethering provision wouldn it affect my WiFi Tether app? I notice now turning it on it gets a tethering provision error but that's about it. I press OK and my WiFi Tether continues and starts up like normal.

I am able to get wireless tethering to work unencrypted, but as soon as I turn on encryption ( tried all different encryption modes ) it gives me the message "tethering started with errors! Please check 'Show log'"
show log says "activating encryption (iwconfig)...failed
Any ideas on how to resolve this? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the wireless tether app to no avail. Thanks for any help.
I believe the ET4G can only do ad hoc so security is not supported out of the box. Someone will have to hack infrastructure mode.
i tried playing my xbox and it doesnt work.. i could easily do it with my evo 3d..
I'm having the same issue with encryption on wifi tethering. Error in iwconfig shows up in logs. Everything else works fine.
Adhock mode being the limitation doesn't seem to make sense... as I recall EVO 4G ran that way too and encryption worked... don't quote me though I could be wrong
Anyone have anything else on this?
OK I read up, seems the EVO could do Infrastructure mode. Man I'm starting to miss that suckers fucntionality... Bring on the fixes and custom ROM's!
I have the same problem, Epic 4G touch with Calkulin ROM, and I think it has something to do with the WiFi Tether app. If I use the Sprint Hotspot app I can set encryption just fine, everything works fine and dandy. But if I switch over to WiFi Tether app, when I enable "iwconfig" encryption it says there is an issue in log. If I use "WPA_supplecant" it enables the wifi network but doesn't apply any sort of encryption. And I'm absolutely positive the Sprint Hotspot app applies encryption just fine.
The reason I want to get WiFi Tether working is because I want to go back to the stock ROM, which I can't use Sprint Hotspot app on.
So finally rooted my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S2 phone yesterday, installed Easy Tether for USB tethering and Wifi Tether for Wifi tethering. It would work fine, but T-Mobile would eventually catch it and block the connection.
I then did some research and found out that Titanium Backup Pro allows you to freeze or uninstall apps. I did so and uninstalled the tethering manager. Now both USB and Wifi tether work ONLY on https sites. I still get the T-Mobile page asking me to add the tethering plan with T-Mobile on every non https site like google.com, etc.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

are you using the stock rom? if so maybe you should try one of the rom here first.
No I haven't, will that solve the problem? Any recommendations to which ROM to use?
So I upgraded to ICS 4.0 for T-Mobile few days ago. Now I lost the wifi Tethering icons. Tried to recover them from my backup using Titanium Backup, but they are not coming back up.
I went into settings, more, Tethering and mobile hotspot and turned it on...but now it auto redirects me to Tmobile sign up page for Tethering when I try to browse the web.
Any work around this besides re-flashing it with a custom ROM? I already rooted the phone.
Use Titanium Backup to freeze or uninstall the tethering provision .apk (I uninstalled it myself).
Works like a charm. If it still gives you issues, make sure the device that is tethered is not browsing using Chrome.
yeah what he said ^^^
i would suggest backing it up before you uninstall in case you have any problems though.
Happy tethering
When I froze it or uninstall it and go into settings, More, tethering and mobile hotspot, the word "error" appears under the mobile hotspot option. I can't even turn on the mobile hotspot feature without having the tethering provision being turned on. Any other ideas?
Don't use the function on the phone. Freeze tethering provision and then download an app that let's you tether.

I have the same exact problem on my phone. I am stock 2.3.6 with root. if anyone has any info on this it would be a great help...
I have a T-Mobile Note 3, still using the stock rom but I have rooted it. My question is there any way to wifi tether that does not "verify" tethering status with T-Mobile?
When starting up the built in hot-spot or FoxFi a popup comes up and tethering is verified with T-Mobile.
I know, I know, T-Mobile comes with X amount of free tethering. I have 2.5 gigs of free tethering and I never go over it. However, I'm going to Mexico for two weeks and T-Mobile has unlimited free international data but no tethering. I assume the "verify" step is going to stop me from tethering.
What rooted app will allow wifi tethering for the Note 3 that does no verification with T-Mobile? I've already tried 10 wifi tether apps from the market place and none of them work on the Note 3.
Bumping as I have a similar question. With Jellybean I just froze the provisioning apk and this worked. In Kitkat doing this causes force closes.
I have a Tasker task that turns on the hotspot when my radio connects to my phone via Bluetooth. This works fine if the screen is on, but the point is to have this happen automatically. If I have to take my phone out of my pocket and make sure the screen stays on, I might as well just turn on tethering manually. The task does run as I have verified that the other parts of the task run while the screen is off.
I'm pretty sure that all the info to address this is in a thread that I just bumped a minute or 5 ago.
I figured it out. At least for my situation. I have tethering and I wasn't trying to bypass any limits. I just wanted to enable tethering without the screen being on. I modified the framework-res APK to not call the provisioning APK and froze the Tethering*.apk files.
I tried to attach the file but it is not working. I will try again later.
framework-res.apk
I also added Bluetooth tethering option.
Can you give us the link daneurysm ? Thanks!

I just upgraded to Lollipop and I am not sure if I like it. Anyway, I found out that I couldn't start my FoxFi , probably blocked by Verzion or something. However, I think I found a work-around. When I started the hotspot process in FoxFi, I would pull down my notification bar and tap the Mobile Hotspot. The phone wouldn't do anything for a few second then it would say I that I don't have a mobile subscription 'yada yada' but then the hotspot would turn on and the SSID would have FoxFi99. The FoxFi app says the process failed, but the hotspot is active.
Think I might have found a useful glitch?
