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...
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.

I just got a wifi only 16GB Nexus 7 2013 and one of my first priorities was to get it online via my SGS3. Tethering via wifi was easy enough, but I wanted bluetooth tether for power savings and ease of use. Unfortunately Tmobile had removed the bluetooth tether option from the SGS3, so I loaded a custom ROM that did include it. I then discovered that Google had removed the bluetooth tether client from the Nexus, but research showed that it did have it in at least one Jelly Bean release, so I had to do the following:
Load a stock JB image: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
TowelRoot: http://towelroot.com/
SuperSU via Play Store
Disable system (not app) update nag: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34274623&postcount=1
Load respective FoxFi/PDAnet apps on both devices and follow bluetooth connection wizards
Profit!
Notes:
I had to use FoxFi/PDAnet because I chose JSS15R which already had the bluetooth internet client removed. If you find otherwise or try JSS15Q, let us know. Of course, using FoxFi/PDAnet also negated the primary reason for loading a custom ROM on the SGS3, but I like it better anyway.
can anyone point me to some directions please. i'm a long haul trucker. so i don't keep up on this technology anymore. i've already spent half the night trying to root my sprint note 2 running 4.4.2. 3 different odins were all successful. but the actual supersu is non functioning.
i don't have nor really want to spend countless hours on google trying to do one root method after another. i just want to keep the stock software, root the darn thing and hopefully get wifi tether.
anyone, please????
p.s. it's been months since i've done this. and the phone has been deactivated till now, after 12 months. so i have no idea what bootloader i even have. i think it's either cwm or twrp. not sure. i'm way behind the curve in remembering the procedure.
You posted this in the wrong area..
What happened to our moderators? This is the second thread here that does not belong. If I was to do something like this they would be all over me like stink on sh!t.
To root your phone use cf auto root. Since your on stock rom you have to use a hotspot app from play store. There is a mod to make stock hotspot work but not for the stock rom.
Also next time you have a question please ask in q&a not development.

personally, I prefer the Sprint Note 2 Toolkit. I won't install SuperUser or SUSuperUser, but your phone will be rooted. You can then just download SuperUser from Google Play. If you can use Odin, you should everything set. It's just a menu driven system. Just make sure you download the Note2 version. I recently goofed and did the Galaxy S3. Needless it didn't work, but I just odn the stock rom and tried again.
As for tethering, that'll depend on your ROM. Some roms may have it already incorporated, but those are more the AOSP. There are some stock baised that it as well. If you want WiFi and those are not working, you can use WiFi Tether Router from Google Play. It costs a few dollars; If memory serves me well, it was between three and four dollars. I use it all the time.and on both AOSP and TW roms. You may need BusyBox installed, but if you're rooted, you should have it anyway. Very useful tool.
that toolkit don't seem to do anything as far as root goes. unless it's in the paid version.
i think i got root finally working. busybox finally installed. knox is finally disabled.
tried the wifi tether router. it keeps asking for supersu permission. so that don't seem to work. least not on 4.4 anyways.
any other suggestions. i've got the trevemod but it's not working either. although i think it's an old outdated version. 3.3 i think it is. all i been able to find on google so far.

Do you have a superSu or superuser app in your app drawer? If so open it and it will want you to update your binary do the normal install. If not open play store and install superSU. You have to have a superuser app to give other apps superuser permissions without it you wont get wifi tethering to work.
she's working now. supersu, busybox, and wifi router.
we would appear to be in business.
thanks for all the help guys/gals.

The free version is all I have used. I've used it about about three or four times. You just need to make sure to install the samsung drivers, which Toolkit has menu option for. Enable USB debugging. Select the correct correct for it to download whatever tar image is uses. Select a recovery you want, it downloads. Later, you actually select the option to root and install a recovery. Really, the process takes about ten to fifteen depending on your download speeds.
The paid version has extra features
Also, TrevEMod WiFi Tether does not work on 4.3 and above. He was never updated for it. WiFi Tether Router works, as you know. It's a slow to start and terminate. Every once in a while it looses interest to the clients, but that's not often. I'm running CM8 which is Andriod 4.4.4.
