WiFi Tethering Issue

I rooted my Droid Incredible today using Unrevoked's one-click rooting process. The whole purpose of doing so was so I could use the wireless tethering feature. However, now that I have successfully rooted the device, I cannot get ANY application to work. I have used numerous programs found within the Android Market (Barnacle, etc etc) and have also tried the tether application that comes pre-installed with Android 2.2.
When I activate the wireless tether, the wireless network does not appear so other devices can connect to it.
I have searched the forums inside and out. I have tried the ##778 method suggested in this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=752687 and it did not fix my problem.
Any and ALL help is deeply appreciated! Thanks in advance for your time.

I checked that thread you mentioned and it didn't seem very thorough. Here's something that I wrote on Android Forums that works for non-rooted Incredibles:
This works great on my Incredible. No rooting required, but you must have the 2.2 update which enables the 3G Mobile Hotspot on the device.
1. Select "Phone"
2. Dial "##778"
3. Select "Edit Mode" on pop-up dialog box
4. Enter "000000" for Please Enter Password (unless you manually changed your password to something else)
5. Select "Security"
6. Select "S.IP DUN User Name"
7. Delete the "dun." part of the number (ie: it should read as: [yourmobilenumber]@vzw3g.com)
8. Select "OK"
9. Press the "BACK" button
10. Select "M.IP Default Profile"
11. Select "DUN NAI"
12. Delete the ".dun" part of the number (ie: it should read as: [yourmobilenumber]@vzw3g.com)
13. Select "OK"
14. Press the "MENU" button
15. Select "Commit Modifications"
16. The phone will reset
17. Once booted, go into "All Programs", select the "3G Mobile Hotspot", Adjust your "Router Name" and "Password" (if you desire, but recommmended), and change the security to WPA(TKIP) (this is the only setting I've tried so far-other posts said the WPA2 is buggy)
18. Select "3G Mobile Hotspot - Press to turn on" (It will prompt you that you need the Verizon Mobile Hotspot Feature- just hit "Do not remind me again" and "OK") (Also, I am using Windows 7x64, and the wifi picked up the signal right away, but it took a moment to identify-but it connected to the internet cleanly and the connection is fast).
It can't hurt.

doesnt work for me, sorry

don't use the verizon wifi hotspot application. you need to install the corresponding kernel (Hydra stock undervolt is a good one for Sense) and Wireless Tether.apk to get it to work properly.

I ran unrevoked, rooted my Incredible, and installed Wifi Tether and it has been working flawlessly for me. I didn't do anything with a custom kernel.
What I had to do to get the app to work, is I had to go grab an older version of wifi tether from the developers site and install the apk manually. After that, the newer market version started to work properly.

is ##778 a sense only thing? when I call that or ##778+ on miui I just get a call cannot be completed message

Yep,

All I did was run unrevoked and then get the wifi tether app.

Same here
Ran unrevoked then wireless tether-works great
Also did #778 - works fine too (only about 500k on either one)

huh, must have fixed the issue with the kernel since the last update. i remember that was one of the first things i did when i rooted was get the wireless tether working and i had to download Hydr kernel to get it going.

[Q] connect to Ad Hoc

I play in a xperia rom official version 2.3.4 (4.0.2.A.0.42)
rooted and unlocked bootloader
someone help me to access a ad hoc play on my xperia!
cordially

extract the attached file then use root explorer to overwrite the file wpa_supplicant file to the folder /system/bin, remember to set permission to R/O

dont work
its not working with xperia play, I think it works with another termina
thx
up!

I faced the same issue few months back..
As far as i knw...adhoc support may come in ICS.....meanwhile try this on the PC/laptop/Server you want to connect.......assuming u r on Win7...
1. Open command prompt with administrator privileges(right click, run as administrator) and type
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=samsung key=password keyUsage=persistent
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2. then type
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now check your phone wifi settings u will have a AP with name samusng. Password is "password".
3. To stop replace start with stop in the above command.
This is pretty safe and wont effect any other network settings. If other people are also connected to the old ad-hoc network, tell them to connect to this new network...
If the above doesnt work, disable data on your play and enable wifi hotspot....connect to it via ur pc....and then u may share the internet connection of the pc to play.....or play multiplayer game....
Hope this helps!

Hi!
I borrow the thread instead of making a new one since I want Ad-hoc to work as well, and I'm "only" (better IMO) on Win XP.
And I wonder, is the "WiFi Ad Hoc enabler" app compatible and working with the Xperia Play?
And I got the official 2.3.4 ROM as well, version 4.0.2.A.0.42.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards RazerBlader.

[Q] Cisco VPN client IPsec Xauth

Hi
Didn't find any good solution on forum, so I am asking you guys if anybody have had successfully connected to corporate network using some kind of substitute of Cisco VPN client? I tried few solutions with tun.ko and vpnc widget but right after I typed my credentials my phone just rebooted, like every time
I hoped that after I flash to JJ's hibrid ROM maybe something will change, but it didn't.
Before that I had stock ICS installed from SE PC companion and the same reboot thing was occurring.
I have had tested this on GB but it doesn't have advanced routing and through GMS (because my operator have the same IP class as my private net) I was not able to route my traffic towards private network. vpnc worked fine but only on WiFi.
Cisco Anny Connect is not an option because it supports only SSL VPN.

Have you tried DroidVPN?

After granting su, gues what.. reboots :/
maybe other ideas?

I worked it in both ICS and GB, it worked perfectly!
Did you configure it?
Sent from my LT15i using XDA

yes, i configured it properly, all things were configured, maybe it's just because i use JJ's hybrid rom.. I don't know ;(

No JJ Rom shouldn't be a problem, but i think ICS may be the culprit as am using DroidVPN from GB
Sent from my LT15i using XDA

ohh shame.. why it is so hard to implement IPsec in unixbased os? ios have it, why android could not

I suggest to use some soft as follw:
Better Terminal Emulator Pro
VPN Connections
BusyBox 1.19.3
You can use BetterTerminalEmulatorPro to run vpnc script in command line mode.
It can output debug info.
# ./vpnc ./vpnc.config --script ./vpnc-script --debug 99

To which VPN software are you referring?
I have installed Terminal Emulator and I have BusyBox version mentioned by you.
Could you please be more specific in what should I do to run this up?

Well could you say how you implemented in iOS coz I have an iPad 3?

It is natively supported and if you have successfully connected from Mac OS X, then for sure it would work on iOS device.
If you are successfully using VPN in Mac OS X with a L2TP/IPSec configuration and you are using Password, RSA SecurID, or CRYPTOCard User Authentication methods, and Shared Secret key for Machine Authentication, then the same VPN configuration should work in iOS. In addition, if you are using a Shared Secret key or Certificate for Machine Authentication, it should work as well.

I use " FoxFi" WiFi tethering app. Works great but make sure you set a password (my fave)! You can also use TrevE Mod WiFi tether, may not work with some roms though...( use the settings below for TrevE Mod App:
TREV E WIFI TETHER APP SETUP
Step 1. Download Wifi Tether TrevE Mod APK
Step 2. Open the Wifi Tether app, hit Menu button and hit “Settings”
Step 3. Press on “Change Device-Profile”.
Step 4. Choose “Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)”.
Step 5. Choose “Change Setup-Method”.
Step 6. Choose “Netd-Ndc (master)”.
Step 7. Choose “Send Netd Max Client Cmd”.
Step 8. You can set your wifi encryption and SSID here to whatever you’d like.
Step 9. Make sure either “WiFi-driver reload” or “WiFi-driver reload 2″ is checked on. If wifi tether fails for some reason you can change this to the one you didn’t use.
Step 10. Scroll down and make sure “MSS clamping” and “Routing fix” are both checked on.
Step 11. Turn on tethering by hitting the Wifi icon.
Step 12. You can check logs by hitting Menu button->Show Log. If you don’t see any errors you are good to go.
Step 13. Now, try connecting to your wifi tether using your computer or another wifi device. Once connected, it should show up under Access Control. (hit Menu then Access Control)
Step 14. Enjoy your wifi tether without paying carriers twice!
ENJOY!
I hope one of these will work for you!

Apparently its your service provider detecting that you are tethering....What provider do you have (Sprint, Verizon)? FoxFi tether app shoud work....I use it on all my devices...If you already have FoxFi, uninstall it and reinstall it but be sure to set a password.

Did anyone even try my post about Connections Optimizer? It's what you have to do while on stock.
When Connections Optimizer is on, your phone will randomly try to turn the wifi antenna on to "optimize" data. When it does this, it takes control of the wifi away from the tethering app. Turn it off, and this issue goes away.

I started a post in Troubleshooting about this....I can get TrevE's to work and I can download regular files but I can't download torrents and files of that nature....REALLY FREAKIN WEIRD!!! BUT - I can use FoxFi and USB tether but you have to install PDANET on your computer...when you download the app to your phone and connect via USB it will give you the option to download...
My question post in trouble shooting is labeled "How Do I Change WAP" settings...
I really believe this is the problem...
Tell me what you think and Try the USB with FoxFi..
I'm currently downloading and AOSP....ROM to see if it wifi tether will work on it...I'll post my results here...

Lollipop tethering (working)

Thanks to datawrhsdoc for translating the OP
datawrhsdoc said:
1. Root your phone
2. Either modify your existing APN to use IPv4 and adding 'dun' to the list of APN types, or create a duplicate APN with the same modifications
3. Set the modified/new APN as your default.
4. Download tether_counter_kill.txt from the OP's first post, and rename the file removing the txt extension (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59858654&postcount=1)
5. Install Smanager from Play Store
6. Navigate to tether_counter_kill from Smanager, and set both 'Su' and 'Boot' options. Run it (you won't need to do this again)
7. Start Mobile Hotspot on your phone, and connect to the hotspot from your devices
8. Immediately start a VPN client from your device(s) which will tether. VPN must redirect ALL traffic (e.g., TorGuard).
9. Enjoy unlimited WiFi tether

Any ideas? @autoprime ?
Quick Edit: was able to copy settings.db to sd card and open it up with sqlite. couldn't change any parameters, as sqlite would fc. Downloaded this guy (http://sqlitebrowser.org/) and made changes, then overwrote the one in data/data directory. We'll see how/if it works.

Nope, something over-writes the tethering back to "1" after each reboot. I'm sure @autoprime can figure this one out, as he did for KK.

You are right I'm on LG G2 with official T-Mo lollipop and I was able to edit settings.db...not with sglite but with SQLite Debugger.
After reboot, the changes i made to the tethering reverted back to dafault 1.

For those that want to use wireless tether, try the app from this thread (it's $2.5):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-tmobile/general/unlimited-wifi-tethering-t2914057
I'm more interested in making the usb tethering work. I'll try using IPv4 + vpn tonight. Pretty sure it's going to fail because of the tether.dun set to 1...

or those having issues with tethering. I tested it out today and had issues. It would connect but would not resolve dns. I have unlimited tethering on Three, it's always worked until now.

Uploading a tether_dun_required=0 script (needs root) that you can use with Smanager to either trigger it via a desktop widget, app, or set it on boot. Remove ".txt" from the end and navigate to it via Smanager. I will test tethering later tonight.

Ohh okay. even better.. ill try it and report back. thanks
EDIT:
Strange, i cant even get an SSID to show up on the native hotspot now. I know it worked before -- i used it last Sunday. The hotspot turns itself off after like 30 seconds.

Okay.. So I did a factory reset because i didnt know how to fix my problem from my previous post.
Then I:
1) added the same APN as IPV5
2) did this:
Enable developer mode (Go to Settings -> About phone, and click on the build number until the developer mode is enabled).
Enable USB debugging under Settings -> Developer options
Connect the device with a USB cable to a computer with the Android SDK platform tools installed
Start an adb shell: adb shell
In the adb shell, run this command: settings put global tether_dun_required 0
3) used the native tether app
I haven't tested it very extensively but from what i can tell, i am able to tether and it just shows up as normal data vs mobile hotspot. I transferred bout 600mb as a test. will test more later.
Thanks for your help RussianBear!
EDIT:
I lied. i think tmobile was delayed in reflecting my usage. it showed up today.

My hot-spot was broken by LP. Devices connect fine but have no Internet whatsoever. I'm able to USB tether without issues using PDANet and just selecting level 1 hide tether usage works fine. No needs for UA switching or anything like that. Just wish the WiFi tether worked, even if it's counting.

Could anyone help with step by step instructions. I am new at this and dont want to do anything wrong. Plus i dont see the script.

Download smanager from the playstore, download the script, then using smanager navigate to the script and run it. You will need to select the su icon from the smanager's script options. Let me know if/where you get stuck.

Script Works for WIFI Tether
It appears that this method is working for WIFI tethering as well. I watched an 11 minute Youtube and then emailed myself a 5.5MB Powerpoint. Here are my results:
Before After
Mobile Hotspot 92.2 92.4
Data 462.2 527.1
Not sure where that 0.2MB came from, but that's not much of my 5GB plan, so I don't much care.
Update 1: Figured out where the 0.2MB came from. My testing used all encrypted traffic over HTTPS, and TMO couldn't track it. I then ran a CNN.com video and the Mobile Hotspot counter spiked. Still not quite there yet.
Update 2: Enabled my VPN, and no traffic at all is being tracked by TMO. No user agent required. Yipee!!

It appears that this method is working for WIFI tethering as well. I watched an 11 minute Youtube and then emailed myself a 5.5MB Powerpoint. Here are my results:
Before After
Mobile Hotspot 92.2 92.4
Data 462.2 527.1

Are you using a vpn service or just agent switchers?
