WIFI Tethering

Can anybody enable wifi tethering?
I try but get an error with rogers rom with rogers kernel

As an FYI, the feature works on stock Rogers phone. [just tried it with mine]

Thanks, indeed my custom kernel was the cause of it all! thanks again

Think we could find a fix for the AT&T Version of this phone? It's one feature I love.

I found my fix for that, flash the rogers kernel and rom and you have it

Hi, I just reecieved my new Capativate glide yesterday. Is there any way to enable the wifi tethering without ATT charging you the extra $45 on your service plan?

Thanks, I wasn't sure if thar post was refering to cloning yourself from ATT. The only question I have is will that give me all the Rodgers branding. I would love to wait for Caynogenmod to come out with a custom rom for this phone!

Root the phone.

Use Titanium Backup to remove the tetheringmanager package.

There may be other ways to do it but it worked for me. I had to reboot after removing the package or I got an error.

you can also use root explorer (must be rooted) to delete : /system/app/tethering manager.apk
DONE!
tether freely until they snag you by mac address/packet info... At&the now detecting tethering by packet type value

An app called Easy Tether will allow you to USB tether your ATT i927 without rooting.
it does require a software install on your laptop.

Wifi tethering doesn't work ... at all
Rooted or not: Wifi tethering doesn't work on mine.
Tested it with both ROMs available: Rogers & AT&T : same result : doesn't work.
I tried to remove "Tethering Manager.apk" : same result.
I always get the same error message.
After ticking the checkbox to enable "WiFi mobile hotspot"
It says :"Deconnecting WiFi"
And then "Data not available"...
And shuts down the mobile hotspot (which was not even started).
Any idea ?
Thanks.
Update : USB Tethering is now working with Rogers ROM - still no WiFi tethering (exit with an error) !

Your method works! I used titanium backup to make a backup and then remove tethering manager package and now the wifi tethering works
Many thanks!!

Alternatively, you can use the wireless tether app (I verified it works if rooted - http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/) but this method is definitely better

Works real good
Yes...I have tested it and it works fine....thanks for the link and the info

Pdanet apparently works

Thanks so much! I was trying to use another method, and didn't like the Rogers rom because it didn't have some of the integrations with my Corporate email but deleting the TetheringManager worked! Awesome!
Now I just hope I can get the ICS Update fine when that comes out Hopefully someone will do a stock ATT ICS rooted img

I have a problem: I can start wifi sharing, my computer connects to it, but then it says "limited access", without being capable of accessing to internet. i have tried on two different computers, with no success, both using Windows 7. With my older Samsung Galaxy Young and Motorola Droid 2 Global I have never had any issues.
I have tried both by removing the wifi sharing manager, and also using the Wifi tethering for Root users, mentioned above, but with no success.
Hope someone can help.

I have almost the identical setup.
Samsung Captivate Glide (SGH-I927, AT&T) I927UCLJ3 ICS 4.0.4 original stock ROM Clockwork Mod Recovery Rooted
Downloaded the Foxfi APK file onto my computer transferred it to my 927 and installed it.It works just fine (haven't used it much yet). It is the free "base" version (which is not available from google play store for ATT phones).
You have to go to the Foxfi web site to get the download,without any interference from big brother!

Mobile data is not available or invalid SIM on unlocked SGH-i747

Hey, people!
I have an unlocked SGH-i747 I got last week. Today I tried to enable USB tethering, but I got the message "Mobile data is not available or invalid SIM"; same thing happens if I try to enable Portable Wi-Fi hotspot.
¿Any solution to this? I know I will probably have to root the phone, that's no problem.
Thanks!

Bone stock? You got to pay for it stock. Flash a custom ROM, it should work.

Yeah; I didn't know AT&T does that for tethering. I just flashed a modified stock ROM with the tether fix and that worked out pretty well.

I have same problem.. Please help me to do this

I have AT&T device, rooted and unlocked on another provider; also build-in tether does not work.
But it is working over 3rd party free (donate) application "Wifi tether" for rooted devices.
EDIT:
I double checked now, and it does not transmit any data over "Wifi tether" application. Sorry, it does not work....

Okay, so the question I have for OP is -- do you have network data turned on?
"Mobile data is not available" << means that data is turned off. Turn data on, then try to enable hot spot, then that should work.
http://www.marksatterfield.com

Mark, are you serious?? Of course I have network data turned on! Why would one try to share a disabled connection?
And always remember to read the whole message: "Mobile data is not available OR invalid SIM."

Have you guys tried pdanet? I've used it on stock and haven't had an issue with it.

I have the same issue, get the no mobile data or invalid sim with the built in feature. Tried different 3rd party apps and I get the same message with those. Tried the tether unlocker and that didn't work either. Even did the tethering provision file replacement and it still does the same thing. Contacted Rogers and I have tethering feature. My phone is a AT&T GS4 unlocked.

I have successfully enable wifi tethering in AT&T SGH-I747 by flashing modified framework-res.apk. It is for Android 4.4.2

I flashed my Samsung Galaxy S3 AT&T SGH-I747 and Wifi Tethering is working fine.
This is for AT&T SGH-I747 with Android 4.4.2 and with Baseband Version i747UCUFNJ1.
Download it. Once download you need to flash using any custom recovery.
Though it is not required but it is always advised to take complete backup of the device. Also, you need to try at your own risk. If you brick the phone, I won't be responsible. I flashed my phone and everything looks good.
Feel free to donate if it help.

I have ATT and can not tether. Its tried to tell me to sign up for a plan. Im NOT rooted yet though, are you?
I was trying to hold off on rooting this phone for, well no real reason at all, but tethering is kind of a must for me.
Tried PDAnet and FoxFi also with no luck

You can enable tethering without root by modifying build.prop while in recovery. Your bootloader must be unlocked. There's a post in the general section about it.

yeah read that, thanks. Right now was holding off on that as well since it would wipe the phone and pretty much null OTA updates. I mean if Im unlocking the bootloader, a few more steps is TWRP and then FLASH AWAY! lol
Im sure Ill root, they always root

I agree; losing OTA updates is kind of a pain, but worth it to me to get tethering working again. I just flash updates manually from Google's stock images in fastboot, then modify build.prop to re-enable tethering.

no root. nothing. I just tested and it worked. I am on a recent next plan, not an old "unlimited" plan if that makes a difference.

Maybe. I'm a grandfathered unlimited

that must be it. Any plans after that come with tethering. You can find ways to bypass it with root though.

Possibility of Xposed Working?

Hello, first of all I've never owned a HTC phone and so I hope nobody minds me posting a speculative question. Based on previous HTC phones, is it likely that Xposed and Gravity Box will work with the HTC 10? The reason I ask is I own some very sensitive earphones and so need the feature in Gravity Box to increase the volume steps to 50? Othewise being restricted to the normal 15 steps is quite punishing for my ears. Thanks.

The HTC 10 unlocked version will support bootloader unlocking so Xsposed will definitely be able to be installed. The HTC 10 sprint version should as well, sprint has never disabled the ability to use HTC Dev to unlock the bootloader. Verizon is another story. They block HTC Dev and we don't know if the unlocked version will work on Verizon that is still TBD. It should but i would never leave anything Verizon has a finger in up to chance. Another possibility might be like the Verizon M9 that people were able to unlock using a java card. Only time will tell for verizon but if you have another carrier I would not worry.

The phone needs to be rooted to install xposed. In addition to the other stuff needed, unlocked bootloader...and highly recommend s-off when that happens. Foolish to not S-Off a phone and start messing with it. Brick city.

Yes. Xposed is MM compatible.
Haven't heard yet if they'll update Sense Toolbox for 8 (Mikanoshi doesn't think he'll get access to a sense 8 dev device) and mods are a case by case basis for compatibility. Give it time and eventually most of the popular mods will get updated.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

xposed would be no problem at all.. You would use the sense toolbox though instead of gravity box. Although now that sense is so stripped down, I suppose some things would also work from gravity box.

Hey guys
I've google searched this quite a bit, but I'm having an issue installing xposed to the HTC10.
I go into Recovery (using TWRP) and try to install the XposedFramework .zip file, but I keep getting : Failed to mount "/system"
Any ideas how to fix this and get Xposed installed ?

yes, works perfect, make sure you get the DVDandroid version xposed installer that you have to use with it. Gravitybox works quite well with the HTC10, xposed settings in playstore is also updated to work, as well as XinternalSD, which will allow programs to write to the internal SD. hope that helps

Looking to root my Verizon HTC 10 to disable their stupid "Connected to WiFi" notifications (which perplexingly isn't an option to disable like on some of their other phones), but I'm not clear if this is possible yet... has anyone here successfully gotten it to work? The link in a previous comment is dead. I'm so frustrated with Verizon, soldering FM radios dead wasn't enough?

You can only root your verizon 10 by doing s-off first using Sunshine ($25). Might not be able to anymore after the Nougat update comes out.

Maybe the Nougat update will fix all the Verizon HTC 10 crap... now Verizon and HTC are blaming each other for issues I'm bringing up to them.

WiFi hotspot on Oreo

With Verizon it usually pops up wanting me to subscribe but it isn't on Oreo.

I used pdanet with FoxFi for my hotspot when I had an unlimited plan on Verizon, but that was on lollipop. Not sure if it'll work with Oreo.

Pda no longer allowed

Root your phone via adb and add
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
To your build prop. Restart and you should be good to go. I have done it with my Verizon pixel and it work just as it did before on any other version.

Where can I find build prop.

That worked but mke sure you set the permissions correctly.

Hi, in my case I can access the APN and edit them. I CAN NOT access the Hotspot menu to turn on / off (it is hidden, it does not appear in the settings menu). I'm using a SIM from a carrier outside of the USA, everything works fine on the cell phone, except hotspot.
Any idea to help solve the problem. I not ROOT, momentarily I am using PDAnet + as an alternative, I prefer to use the native function, PDAnet + disconnects and changes the SSID every 15 minutes.
