The video demoing it on an Epic 4G (original)? It works for the most part as long as you don't need encryption or Infrastructure mode.
I think there is a new profile needed for Wifi Tether + some kernel work possibly.
BTW for those not rooted EasyTether does work with USB connection to Win/Linux/Mac. I'm holding out for an unroot method before rooting for WiFI so this is working in the meantime. The free version works for most things but you must buy ($10) to get https pages.
Can someone please elaborate on how to get wifi tether working? I have rooted succesfully and even enabled Access control in the app as John stated above but it still isn't connecting. What is the additional work that is needed? PLEASE HELP! Thanks!
USB debugging I think has to be enabled also.
I have that enabled, still not working
Same here... no SSID being broadcasted.
I can't get wifi tether to work at all it keeps using ad hoc mode and my laptop never connects what setting do you guys have

It's only goign to do ad-hoc for now. I think there is either some kernel work or rom customization to support some of the Infrastructure mode features or maybe just a new profile in Wifi Tether since it doesn't recognize the phone currently and falls back to the generic profile.

How do you set that?
BUMP
Anyone have any luck with this yet? Ad hoc mode is useless to me. Need infrastructure/AP mode, please.
How to use Wireless Tethering for Root Users on Epic 4G Touch
After reading hundreds of pages on this website & others, here's what I've concluded after 12 days with my new Epic 4G Touch:
1. The entire Samsung Galaxy S2 series may be unable to broadcast anything but AD-HOC. However, if infrastructre can be achieved, I expect someone on XDA or Cyanogen to accomplish it within 30 days.
2. Most receiving devices (such as a notebook, netbook or tablet) can be tweaked so that they can recognize AD-HOC. It involves replacing the wpa_supplicant which is commonly found in your system/bin folder. Google your device name, AD-HOC and wpa_supplicant and you'll likely be directed to web pages with the solution for your device.
3. If you're trying to tether an Epic 4g Touch to an Acer A500 Tablet I have a much simpler solution for you: Root it and then install the Taboonay custom ROM which will instantly modify your tablet WiFi so it sees ALL available AD-HOC signals.
4. After trying nearly half the different version of wireless tether, I found thee WiFi V3.1 beta 6 to work flawlessly without changing anything on my Epic 4G Touch.
NOTE: Until this is a VERY stable custom ROM I suggest simply rooting, installing ClockworkMod Recovery, SuperUser 3.0 which is required by WiFi Tether.
I've been tethering with pdanet because I want to hide my tether usage. Does sprint ever send out warnings/ultimatums about tethering without their "service"? I'm only using 4g if that matters.
Been able to tether my laptop &netbooks with both versions of wireless tether that I tried. My issues arise when trying to connect my Samsung 10.1 tablet, the AndroidTether is not coming up as a internet option, has anyone gotten their 10.1 to connect to their epic touch4g?

This thread solved the wireless tethering issues on my galaxy 10.1 tab
Jellybean 4.1.1
T-Mobile SIM
Kernel 3.0.31 -g6fb96c9
Build JR003C
Rooted using Wug's Root Toolkit v1.5.2
Permanent CWM installation
Running Root Check Basic shows my device does have root access.
1. The network doesn't even show up on any devices with the following programs:
Wireless Tether for Root Users: 3.1 BETA14
Wireless Tether for Root Users: whatever is on the Market right now
OpenGarden
Barnacle
When I click to see the log it says it can't be found.
2. Using the built-in hotspot function means I'm able to see and find the tethering network, but after connecting to it there is never internet access. I ran the built-in hotspot with the other tether programs both installed and uninstalled.
Encryption and Passwords are all set to off for both methods.
EDIT:
I erased everything. The following is on a brand new install of rooted Jellybean. NOTHING else has been installed on it yet other than unlocking and rooting it via Wug's.
Built-in hotspot works. Will this incur tethering charges on T-Mobile?
Barnacle - WIFI: Failed to connect to supplicant: No such file or directory. Stopped unexpectedly! Can't see the
Wireless Tether for Root Users: 3.1 BETA14 - can't see the tether's wifi
Open Garden - right after granting SU permission it crashes. On re-open it says "unable in install... (couldn't catch it before it disappeared). When I go to view the log I get unable to open log file. File doesn't exist!
Have you tried foxfi? Worked when I had T-Mobile. Just moved to verizon and it still works.

FoxFi does not work. Error starting WiFi tether. Please use Bluetooth DUN. This happens both when I have the WiFi already turned on or off.
After uninstalling a host of somewhat recommended VOIP products I got at least the built-in Hotspot and USB Tether features to work: uninstalled AutoAir (always ensures at least one of either 3G or WiFi is on to intercept VOIP calls), Plane Mode Tweaker (allows WiFi to still work in airplane mode), Y5 Battery Saver (automatically connects to known WiFi access points. Turns off WiFi automatically otherwise.
I'm not sure which one of the 3 apps above is the culprit.
But basically: none of the 3rd party tethering apps work.
Only the built-in apps work, and now I'm very concerned that I will be charged for tethering on my T-Mobile prepaid $30/month plan.
EDIT: The built-in WiFi tether works but grinds to a halt when you turn the screen of the phone off. When the screen is on it works better. USB tethering doesn't seem to be affected. I can't get Bluetooth DUN to work because my Win7 computer can't find the necessary drivers for the Nexus.
Don't worry about T-Mo charging you for tethering. If they detect tethering your web browser will display a message linking you to their website. Just don't stream any video or download any obscenely large (300 mb+) files and you should be fine.
I'm in the same boat sort. I can. Get blue tooth tethering to work but not WiFi. Keeps deselecting the enable WiFi in settings automatically. Is this not possible thru verizon even when rooted?

I am on B119 and have not been able toget tethering working. I have tried both wifi and bluetooth. Also downloaded numerous tethering apps from the Playstore none of which work. I have tried tethering to a nexus 10, samsung galaxy and an Asus laptop.
All can see the P6 tether but cannot allocate an IP address to the attached device.
Anyone else having a tether problem on this or another rom version. Have tried a factory reset with the same result.
Back when I had a jailbroken iPad & iPhone I had an app that was installed on both devices that made tethering crazy easy. When I turned the screen on the iPad and it didnt detect a wifi connection, it would automatically connect to my phone via bluetooth(could be wifi as well) for an internet connection. Does such an app exist for Android, or is this something I am going to need to do manually?

Even easier on Android no extra apps needed.
Just turn on tethering on your phone whatever phone it is and then connect to it via normal WIFI....simple as that.
Well it is from my S3 to Note 2014.

some of us are still on verizon unlimited and don't get the "free" tethering. i believe pdanet / foxfi may do that. i'm not actually sure as i've always been rooted with roms that have tether unlocked.
So ive been desperately trying to get USB tethering to work on my Rooted S4 after the 4.3 update. I have the Tmobile SGH-M9191 - M919UVUEMK2, I downloaded and paid $1.95 for Wifi Tether Router and it works fine for Wifi but has no USB tether - I also have unlimited everything and 2.5 GB free tethering which isn't enough. Does anyone know of an app that has usb tethering that works on this phone? I'm willing to flash a ROM, pay for an app, whatever it takes. I get 15 mbps on wifi tether app, but on stock USB tether I get 35+ mbps. Also with usb tether the phone charges while being used. Ive been searching for so freaking long and can't find a solution.
