I had a galaxy s3 a while ago also rooted where i had used pdanet+ to create a hotspot without paying an arm and a leg to my carrier for the option. It had worked. Now that i have the g4 i want to do the same. when i try to use any app that says root wifi hotspot or whatever, they dont actually ask for root access nor do they work as intended. I was wondering if there was any other apps out there (for free this is the point) that i could use... Or if theres a method im neglecting to use to get this working.

How far are we from seeing wireless tetherable kernels? Is there a reason we don't see them already? Anything I can do to help? Hope there is a solution soon!
I have no first hand experience (yet) but I thought that Android Wireless Tether worked, you just needed to tell it you were using a Nexus One or some malarkey like that.
You have to set it to ad hoc mode as well...my xoom can't detect it when I do that
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk
i have wireless tether working just fine on stock kernel
wireless tether works fine untill you actually use it...te device thats using the connections gets rdirected to a verizon page prompting you to buy the tethering service. I head this was at the kernel level which would make sense, because my DX, OG Droid, and thunderbolt all tether no problems witout the redirct.

No, it does work, as long as you are rooted, set the device to nexus one, and use ad-hoc mode. Any other configuration redirects to verizon.

This set-up doesnt work on my R800x. To get it to work I have to set the devise to a CDMA device. If I set it to a GSM devise I cant connect to it. So if anyone else is having an issue getting it to work on the r800x try setting it to a CDMA devise.

I set the latest version 3.0 beta 5 or whatever to device profile droid X(CDMA) and it works just fine. The only caveat is that limits you to WEP encryption so be sure to use mac filtering.

^this, PLEASE
I'm on a verizon r800x rooted and I desperately want to use wi fi tethering....for free!
I've tried every combo with the app "Wifi tether" (the main popular one) with regular phone models and "CDMA" models (supposed to be the ones that work) to no avail!
It always clocks in like .4 kbs of data then stops...and then verizon pop up comes up if i try to access internet through the phone....and computer can't even connect to the hotspot
any tips/advice?

If you please could.....what are the EXACT settings you use?
I really try dozens of different things and it errors or the computer/kindle fire can't connect....
can you go setting by setting what you do to get it to work?
Things you will need:
1) rooted phone
2) root explorer app (paid)
3) sqlite editor (paid - root explorer will direct you to it)
*** Now that cm9 is available I wanted to update this posting to let you know that these instructions are for stock gingerbread as well as the custom gingerbread roms. Cm9 has this option natively and you won't need to do this on cm9. Just want to save anyone from having problems with cm9. Now if your on gingerbread, go for it. ***
Now go to this directory with root explorer:
/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
(You will have an option to open it with the internal viewer or SQLite editor, choose SQLite editor)
Select secure
Now locate tether_entitlement_check_state and change the value to 0 then save and reboot.
Now you can use the built in tethering without the pop-up saying that you don't have a tethering plan.
I hope this helps you guys out.

This is exactly why I'm using the ClockWorkMod app. I've already been kicked off my unlimited data plan once for "unauthorized tethering" and it was hell getting back on the plan. The loophole to do so is no longer available, so I really don't want to get kicked again.
I'll have to wait and see how it works out for others. But good job on showing us the way to enable it. Thumbs up!
If I'm not mistaken, the tether_entitlement_check_state will not be available in the database until first attempt enabling tethering.
interesting thread. moved to DEV as this could be handy for future development.
the only disclaimer I'll put in is that it's at your own risk if you break any terms of service from your carrier....

It's included in my plan as well and I'm on AT&T. Not sure if it's a Premier thing though, but my data plan came with hotspot as part of it, and it's not the data sharing plan.
When I tried to enable it, it told me to call 611 to activate it.
+1 for foxfi on ATT.
AT&T will force you to give up unlimited data plans to enable this from them and it's another $15 USD / month. I believe the context of the OP is without carrier plan.
If you have no unlimited data and can stomach the $15/mo, more power to you.
Foxfi doesn't work for me but I found a way to get native tethering work on this phone but your phone has to be rooted to do that:
1. First you need to delete TetherProvision.apk system app. Either by root explorer or TB. Removing this might cause a FC when you try to turn Mobile Hotspot on in Settings (happened to me) but keep on reading.
2. Go to Google Play store and install Power Toggle and add the Wifi tether widget to your Homescreen.
3. Boom ^_^.
Excellent! Thank you for finding this.

I am not sure if the TreveMod is going to help. I have encountered your situation before where when you activate the wifi tether, everything looks good and dandy but the thing is it never broadcasts the SSID. I guess continue tweaking all the settings and let us know if you can get it working.

The wifi treve-mod is what bimmerdood has been testing with. This treve-mod doesn't seem to work on 2013 smartphones. It may appear that the mod works because it will attempt to start a wifi tether session on your phone but it doesn't broadcast the SSID of your phone to say your laptop or tablet to connect to.

OK, using the Wifi Tether - TrevE Mod - Auto model....
Everything seems to work except setting ad-hoc mode. Data is working but wifi not visible.
Let me play around with it a little more.
I know it's been said already but it seems something - whether in wpa_supplicant or F/W - is blocking ad-hoc mode.
I'm going to keep poking around in the time I have left today.
Well, not sure if this is progress.
