So I rooted this morning, went well, no problems along the way. Immediately installed this Android Wifi Tether application (linked above) and it isn't working right.
Any computer I connect to the phone will get an IP assigned to it, it sees the gateway (phone) but it cannot ping it, cannot ping out to the internet.
IPConfig output looks like this:
IP Address: 192.168.1.103
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.2.254
I've tried following the FAQ on the site, tried reinstalling the config files whatever, no help. I've also tried enabling/disabling WEP security, makes no difference, the computer still connects and sees the network as unsecured. :wtf:
If there's a different application I should use let me know. I'm just wondering if there are other settings I should be playing with.
Are you on the stock ROM or a custom ROM?
Stock rom.

i think you may need to download an older version but i forgot which one, im running it right noe on Darch AOSP 2.1 and its running great
I think its one that has a pre1 in it
You should have a custom ROM to use that, I recommend MoDaCo's if you don't want your phone to change that much. Also, give mine a try
On MoDaCo now, working fine, wifi tether works flawlessly.
try this version out

although there was something in the stock rom that interfered (that most custom roms dont have), it DOES work with the pre1 version that was mentioned and posted... you do not HAVE to upgrade to a cooked rom.
Hi Guys,
You should download the 1.70 pre2 version. It will keep your phone from heating up so much like the earlier versions did. I've been using it on Fresh 1.1, Gumbo 1.5b, and the various 2.1 ROMS lately, all with great results.

Nice, I was having the same problem with 1.6 and installing 1.7 worked. I can't get encryption to work, but at least I can connect. I needed this as I'll be taking a road trip with my new laptop. So thanks!
Hi!
I can't take credit for this solution... someone else posted it here, but I can't remember where or who this awesome person is. If that person sees this thread, please let me know so I can edit this post and give proper credit... because you're a life saver to anyone who wants to use DamageControl ROMs but needs MNS wired tether working.
I have posted this as a separate thread because this seems to be a hot issue which frequently comes up, and so many people don't search the forums well.
1. Completely wipe your phone in recovery. (Factory/Data, Dalvik, and SD Ext)
2. Install DamageControlv1.1beta5 and reboot after the install, verify in Settings>Software that your PRI is 2.11_002.
3. Reboot to recovery, wipe everything again (although you don't have to wipe SD-Ext, but you should always wipe Data/Factory and Dalvik) and install whatever ROM you want that doesn't usually allow MNS, such as the newest version of DamageControl.
4. Once you're up and running with the ROM of your choice, check to make sure your PRI is still 2.11_002.
5. Plug phone into USB and select Internet Sharing.
I have found that sometimes you have to plug it in a couple of times for the PC to authenticate, but I think that might be a PC issue of mine and not a phone issue.
I can verify that this method does enable MNS wired tether on DC v2.5 and DC v2.6. However, I am not sure if/what other side effects might come from having the 2.11_002 PRI. Market works for me still, Sprint Apps still work too, but there may be other things that don't like this PRI. For example (thanks Flipz for the clarification), PRL will not auto update with this PRI. But if the most important thing to you is MNS on a DamageControl ROM, then this is the way to go.
*Don't flash a ROM that automatically fixes your PRI though, or else all of the trouble you're going to will be undone!

ROMs that I can verify have MNS Wired Tether Internet Sharing working using this procedure
DamageControl v2.5
DamageControl v2.6
DarchLegend v5.0
I can confirm this works with DC 2.06, thanks for posting! I went from Flipz 2.0D with his proprietary PRI and MNS didn't work. I couldn't get MNS to work on DC2.06 or DarchLegend 5. My normal PRI is/was 1.70_003 which I understand is one of the culprits responsible for the error 67 message when trying to access MNS. MNS did work great with that PRI on DarchLegend 4.2.2 however.
With the new PRI I am back to the network being "unknown" and no Sprint designations on the lockscreen or task bar. Haven't tried any of the updates (PRL is currently at 60663) but I can update that manually by nandroiding back to a 1.5 rom.
Not sure what other evils may arise due to the new PRI but having MNS working is pretty awesome.
ive been gone for a while, and with all the drama i missed its hard to sift through a search. after trying all the new roms, i ended up with flipz pri. could someone point me to where i might be able to obtain the standard one?
i thankyou most kindly
The updated PRI sometimes breaks Sprint applications. We reverted to have Sprint show up as the carrier again.

Well, flipz's pri I think is the same as 1.70_003, just renamed in the menu.
You could do the pri reset with your msl to get it back to 1.70_003 though

So far, so good with the new PRI. Market works, Sprint Nav works and everything else 'non-Sprint' works. I don't use TV, NFL, Nascar (uninstalled all of them anyway) but best of all, MNS works. I'll keep playing with it and update as neccesary.
Quick question, for MNS, would I have to use USB-tethering app?

Unless you're talking about the default menu that pops up when you plug the phone into the computer via USB (the one that gives you four options - charge only, htc sync, disk drive, internet sharing), then no, there's no additional app to download or install in order to make this work. Should be native in any 2.1 ROM.

Oh ****, I should have realized that, the default menu. Thanks. There aren't any problems like the older versions of MNS (like on 1.5), where you have to try and beat the network connection so you can tether, right?

not if you're using the wrong pri
it should work fine.
im curious if this method would work on fresh 2.0d... i know when you "flash" it your pri gets fixed, but what if you flashed DC, thus fixing your PRI and then restored the fresh 2.0d nandroid?

I was going through this procedure last night and the same thing happened to me. I did steps 1 and 2 a second time and after that the PRI was set to 2.11_002.
And thanks for the directions OP! This is the first time I've had wired tethering working on my Hero (without a paid application)
i would like to add that this does work on fresh 2.0d... but for some reason my nandroid wouldnt restore correctly, i had to restore an older nandroid and i lost a couple things

I'm building a feature in to the kitchen that will let you easily switch between PRI's. I know I've said that somewhere else but I don't think I did in this thread. So keep an eye out for that.

This is very exciting news!
does anyone have the new pri to update manually? the one link in the damagecontrol 2.07_2 thread is dead
I just got a brand new replacement evo from sprint that came with froyo 2.2 on it.
I rooted using this method
and now I am on the stock 2.2 rom that came with unrevoked pt 2. when flashing
I've installing 5 different versions of wifi tether and none of them work
windows just says "no network access"
then when I plug in USB and select "usb tether" from the dropdown
I get "error 67. Registration Failure. Your PCS Vision username and/or password may be incorrect. please try again."
I have a feeling it has something to do with this particular version of Root I did.
I have superuser access and can delete sprint apps.
but in adb shell I still see $
because last time I rooted wifi tether worked like a charm, and the stock htc usb tether also worked no questions asked.
I know I could always use pda net, but it's nice to know the phone will work out of the box with any computer.
any words of wisdom on this? should I just install some custom rom that has it built in? I rather like the stability of stock Roms.
was I supposed to flash radio? I really have no idea and have been trying to figure this out for a few hours now.
Android Version: 2.2
baseband version: 2.15.00.07.28
kernel version: 2.6.32.15-g746f4f0
software number: 3.26.651.6
browser version: Webkit 3.1
PRI version 1.40_003
Use android tether
I could never get the sprint/htc apps to work. I'm using the android wired/wireless tether apps and they work fine.
Just google android wifi tether and android wired tether, I can't post links.
So...
I have the same issue with my evo I just purchased... were you able to fix it? Neither of those programs worked for me.
Not working for me as well...
i just got my evo friday oct 15th... fresh root and wifi tether is not working, seems to want to activate the sprint tether as well, im thinking i have to load a new rom and ditch the stock rom.... in order for it to work, kinda bums me out, didnt wanna mess with the roms out there... any advice on how to remove the sprint tether app ?
wifi tether
I just recently got my evo also and was running into the same problems as yall. After lots of research and deleting stuff off of the phone that i wasnt supposed to i had to flash back to complete stock and reroot with unrevoked3. as it turns out only certain kernels work with the wifi tether. and as far as the sprint native wifi or tethered ones those you have to pay for. its an extra 30 bucks a month. the unrevoked3 method seemed to be the easiest method out. but thats just my opinion. hoped this helped out guys. oh yeah the unrevoked3 root works just fine with the wifi tether (rooted)

What process did you use? Does that include the USB tether as well?
I don't think the usb tether works with the WiFi tether. I am pretty sure it is just a wireless tether. The unrEVOked3 method I used was the latest one from the website.
Sent from my unrEVOked3 EVO using the XDA app.
I run Fresh and havn't had problems with tethering.

The USB tether fix supposedly works for wifi too. It disables authentication so you can use the stock hotspot app.
can you confirmed you have root? use the unrevoked forever method, quite easy. the next thing is install Wireless Tether for root, idk why hotspot is turning on. at this point it's useless.
if your haveing problems useing android wifi tether 2.02 on your rooted evo witch is the one offerd in Market then goto android wifi tether site and download the experimental version 2.05 copy the .apk to SD card and install it, it works great

Simply saying "My Wi-Fi doesn't work." is very, very general. Be more specific. What's going on with it specifically?

Are you sure it isn't router related? Do you get an error message or failing to obtain ip address.
Sent from my Inspire 4G or Desire HD or whatever this thing is called via XDA app.
I rebooted and it worked. Running CM 7 nightly 8. Stock Kernel.
it just hangs at optaining ip address and doesnot move from there, also, i got fed up n went back to stock unrooted and it still doesnt work, but it was working before i started all this madness
Do other devices on your network have any trouble accessing the wireless router? What kind of router is it?
I finally understood how to root my Inspire to take it over to my pre-paid T-Mobile, but, now, I can't get to the internet via WiFi. I've tried my wifi, as well as other connections around me, with no luck. The only way I can get internet on my phone is if I use the passthrough option. I'm running the stock 2.2 OS with no ROMs. Have I done something wrong...?
Additional Info:
Forgot to mention that I used the ace-hack, Version 11A. Also, I can scan for wifi networks, and I can connect. I have a good signal, and I can login to my router and see the phone listed. The "Mobile network" setting has been disabled since I won't be using data with T-Mobile. I've turned on Airplane Mode and tried to get to the internet that way, and the same thing still happens; I can see the networks, and I can connect, but, I have no data coming in or going out.
Any luck? I just ran through the same version of ace hack 11 and I'm experiencing the same problem. I can connect to any wi-fi with an excellent signal, but can't connect to the internet.

No ): I ran through AceHack11A again for giggles, and, I still have the issue. I'm thinkin' I may have to install the stock AT&T radio, but, from what I understand of it, the radio has nothing to do with wifi.
I'll save you the trouble of installing the stock radio, already tried it. I was able to get things working though... here's basically my chronology of things:
- Did step one of the reverse CID, god the goldcard.img emailed to me, no problems
- Did step 2, downgraded. After the downgrade, I could still use wi-fi at this point without issue.
- Step 3... this is where the wifi internet issue was introduced.
- Connected to the internet with via my PC with USB cable.
- Ran the one of the programs that was installed in step 3: Rom Manager (while connected to the internet). It made me download and install Flash ClockworkMod (all done through the rom manager gui).
- I bought the full version of Rom Manager. I removed the free version that was installed, re-installed the updated free version, then bought the premium rom manager.
- Within ROM manager, clicked on Download ROM and downloaded the CyanogenMod rom (I went with the regular CyanogenMod, not the nightlies version). Installed it, and everything works great.
You can probably tell I'm a total newb to android, hence the annoyingly detailed description of what I did. Give it a go, maybe it will work for you?
same problem here, after root
update:
Ok, I fixed installing a stock ROM from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058042
Probably the problem has to be something with Rom Manager (is not present in the stock rom), I didn't check it anyway.
I have the same problem several days ago. I flashed the Revolution ROM, and it was resolved.

Hi, this is my first post on here. I searched the forums for this problem I just encountered that happened right after I plugged in my phone at work to get internet thru my PC using the data cable. At lunch time I went home and turned WiFi on and now it just keeps scanning and will not connect to my Wifi! It sees my WiFi which was working just fine since the day I brought it home. All this started because I wanted to try out using the data cable to get internet on my phone since my work doesn't have WiFi. I believe it has something to do with connecting thru the data cable pass-through connection. I am on stock ROM. I rooted the phone before but went back to stock ROM because it just seemed like too much maintenance for me at this time.
Does anyone know how I can fix this? Am I going to have to flash back to original ROM to fix this?
I searched some more on there and only found this other topic but since I'm not at home at I cannot confirm if changing it to charge only and restarting will fix the WiFi problem that I am having! I'll try this out later.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=973514
For anyone else having issues, please use this method.
NOTE: You DO NOT have to buy the full version of ROM Manager in order to fix the issue. The free version will work just fine.
