Hello i went and did the root for the OTA version, but now my hotspot won't really give any internet to anything, as well as my 4G i can turn the switch on but it doesn't turn on. I downloaded the Android Wifi Tether to attempt to get things connected but I'm having no luck. I don't want to lose my root to restore the factory settings and all that jazz, so if someone could tell me what exactly i need to update and where it goes I'd appreciate it. I know that i need a new radio or something, but I also think i need adb installed as well I'm not sure. If you can give me some aid that would be great. Thanks

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

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
I rooted my xoom wifi and now when I go to settings to set up my wifi, it says error instead of scanning. any fixes?
I would try reflashing the kernel.
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk
who sounds like the kernel didn't flash right. try the post above me said chances are you just need to re push the kernel files.
how did you flash? if you used adb, you most likely did not push all the modules.... if you used cwr you may of had an error and should reflash.
lostttttt
Hello fellow xoomers, im having a problem hope some one can help me. first off i'm a noob to rooting. I have a xoom wifi running android 3.0 , kernel version is 2.6.36.3 build HRI39. I was adventurous and tried to root my xoom and needless to say it didn't go well. I honestly thought I bricked the damn thing, to my shock and welcomed surprised I was able to do a wipe and erase all the data on my device and return to factory settings. but when it went to connect to the wifi all it's saying is wifi error every thing else seems to work fine. so i was wondering should i try to re root my xoom again??? will this correct the issue i'm having with my wifi?? and can some one point me to a guide that's made for the version i'm currently running seems likes there's a million and one different types of software and you have to have the right one for the version your running or every thing goes from sugar to well you know the rest. Any help would be greatly appreciated if you need any more info please let me know. thank you all in advance.....

I had that same issue when I updated my girl's skyrocket to ICS via kies. It seems to fine now after a couple reboots and a few days of use. I would root the phone and do a complete wipe and flash stock ICS but thats just me.

Use odin and return to stock. Then re-try the update.
I have unlimited data on Verizon, and when the 4.1.1 OTA first rolled out it blocked any tether/hotspot attempt by asking me to pay an additional $30 dollars to share the data.
So I flashed back to 4.0.4 and rooted, and used SQL Lite to edit the entitlement check to "0" before installing Voodoo and saving root. I updated back to 4.1.1 and lost my root somehow (probably because I didn't update the binaries or something?) but the entitlement check seems to have stayed.
However, my issue now is that I can't hotspot whatsoever as the phone tells me wifi hotspot is on, but none of my devices pick up the wifi signal. The only way I can get internet through my phone is if I use a USB tether, which is kind of a bummer since I would like to connect multiple devices in different locations. Can anyone figure out where I went wrong in the prior steps?

How did you flash back to 4.0.4? I wonder if you are still running the 4.1.1 kernel now. I think you may have to factory reset and use one of these procedures such as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1970267 which flashes a fresh 4.0.4 where you can root and vodoo rootkeeper BEFORE upgrading to JB. I have wifi tether working on JB using the SQL Lite edit process.
hey, I have tried several things but havnt got anything to work. I got USB tethering working with foxfi but I would prefer wifi tethering. I have customer recovery and i am rooted. What would you guys suggest. Thanks
There was a thread floating around here somewhere concerning Galaxy Tools. Look that up. It should enable maybe wifi tethering.
Wondering the same thing
My phone was unusable fit like 3 weeks, it started working again so I'm scared to try putting another custom rom on it. I was also recommended not to buy some people on this site that i believe are much smarter than me! I did find out that I'm rooted, also have Philz custom recovery on the phone. So I've been looking for a way to get my Hotspot back, nothing I've tried has worked... any help is greatly appreciated! :good:
youre on OD3 and cannot go back to an earlier version, so unless you can find an app, or when a ROM comes out with it built in, youre kinda stuck. Not sure if youre aware, but the OA6 and OD3 are basebands and the ROMs you have available to you are based upon what baseband youre on, and apparently once you go to OD3, you cant revert
