Hello all
Rooted my phone a week back, and it has been mostly working fine except for the WiFi hotspot feature. It used to work before rooting, but now I cannot get it to work at all and I have tried a bunch of stuff.
It doesn't give me any errors when I start it, but there used to be an icon in the header that shows its working no longer shows up.
I have tried to use 3rd party WiFi tether, but those didn't work either. Tried resetting the apn, and making an exact copy and selecting the new one does not make it work....
Any info or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
I have removed some bloatware as well, would that affect it?
No it is broken on mine too.
Need the /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/database.db file from a Rogers RUU or ROM.
If we had that it would work I think.
If you guys check the DEV section you'll find your answer in there. Mine is working like a charm. Cheers.

Are you talking about the One Click Tether method?
Or are you talking about getting a tether app from the market. I know I can do that but I want to use the native tethering. A lot cleaner.
OneClick Tether method.
Enables NATIVE hotspot.

Just run it. It is hosted on Google Code.
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
thanks alot.
Download the 1.6 .APK since that has been proven to work best with our phones.
that was also my next question because there was like 100 versions on there, once again thanks, i just downloaded the 1.6 version as we speak.
Just be careful when using the Tether. Even though there is a setting to password protect the network, you can't actually get it to work (unless I am doing it wrong) and others can still join. You can manually cut off the connection should someone join the network. A notification will pop-up on the phone telling you if a device has connected to the network.
If you use access control, no one can connect without you enabling the connection.
Searched around but it was all for other devices, has anyone got a wifi tether for the rooted droid to work?
Rooted via Unrevoked, the program installs fine and seems to be running right, I see the Barnacle SSID under "Devices" on my mac, but when I connect....it does nothing.
any ideas?

yes we all have. none of use barnicle. Wifi Tether.
You can install from market, but you also need to put the folder in your sd card. works flawlessly. look it up.
Try http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/ instead.
Use the QR code to download it from the market and follow the HTC Incredible setup instructions at http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/wiki/Setup_HTC_Desire_Incredible
Very nice. I rooted my DInc a couple of weeks ago but other than getting rid of some stock apps I haven't really done a whole lot with it. Got wireless tether working. A must have when I am on vacation and out of state.

This is my first post. And I am posting to show that I agree with him/her. I just did this today and it works flawlessly on my devices... yes devices... iPad WiFi. I just put my friends iPad 3G to shame. It was a bit tricky at work, but got it working.
Greetings.
I have searched the forums, and have not found what I was looking for so I am going to ask nicely here.
1. I have just rooted a friends Inspire. Shipped with GB
2. In searching, I can not find any (or minimal) reference to the android wifi tethering app, and I am wondering
A)if anyone uses it, and
B) if so, what settings are used to make it work.
I appreciate your time in reading this post, and thank you in advance for your relevant answers.
thats because the wifi settings will be unique to each person ie channel, encryption, passkey etc.
The tethering needs to be activated and the PC with you want to tether has to be accepted in the cel. The app gives you a password you need to use in the PC...when you try to connect the phone will prompt that device is requering permission to connect. That simple. If you cannot make to work with the hot spot app, you can use Koush's Tether app in the market.
Thanks for the replies,
I was just curious as some devices require tweaking in the settings of google's wifi tether, and didn't know if the inspire worked on the default settings....

I actually had never tethered before yesterday....and it was just for curiosity, but worked great, and didn´t tweaked anything at all. By the way, I am using Coredroid V9.2 that has a default app.
I had to enable "routing fix" in the settings of the google tethering app.
Hey Guys, just rooted the Photon Q, was wondering how i could set up the wifi tether? What have you guys been using?
I want wifi tether not usb, and no switching roms
also, is there a specific version of the wifi tether for root users app youre using, with specific settings?
I'm on 4.0.4 Build Number: 7.7.1Q-6_SPR-125_ASA-14
Thanks!
I used to use this one on stock rooted.
Edit - I haven't tried it on the Q, but this app is old school but always got the job done in the past.

Ya using the app now but not working, it sends out infrastructure wifi, but nothing seems to actually get internet from it...
Using these settings
Change Device-Profile" and choose "Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)" then choose "Change Setup-Method" and hit "Netd (master)". And also MSS Clamping and Routing fix checked. Nothing gets internet from it
Hm, I can't remember the particular settings I was using... I did have to make some changes to get it to work infrastructure mode, I do remember that. It would always provide internet access, but the default settings would only send out an ad-hoc network. I didn't have to make any changes per se to get the internet tether to work, I only had to make changes (similar to the ones you made) which enabled infrastructure mode.
This is assuming we are talking about the Play Store app. I haven't used the other app I linked on my Q, give it a shot.

I'm in the same boat with you with that tethering app as well as FoxFi/PdaNet+
So I rooted my LG Lucid 2 from this guide: http://androidforums.com/lucid-2-al...ition-5-7-13-full-technical-notes-inside.html
The one thing I noticed is that afterwards, tethering by any method (wifi tether, usb tether, bluetooth tether) is now impossible. After doing some research i think that the rooting method removed the system app "hotspotprovision.apk"
I know the root for this phone had to dissable some root checker tool that lg built into the phone, but do you think that removing the hotspot app is necessary? or can i get it back without having my phone tell verizon that i'm messing with my phone (the link tells all about the weird root checking tool LG tried to hide)?
Any help would be awesome! I just need some way to tether due to it being my main source of internet when i am at school.
all apps like pda net, foxfi, wifi tether, and all the other apps just start with errors, and when i try to start up the built in usb tether option i just get an error saying "Sorry! Unfortunately Provision has stopped"
Even with a factory reset and/or re flashing the firmware is still doesnt work.
Has ANYONE else with this phone tried to use any tether apps? If so have they worked or failed? I don't even know if this is happening to just me, or if everyone who owns this phone is without the tether ability
It would just help me a lot to know if somebody else has the same problem or even doesn't. I'm trying to decide if I need to return the phone or if i just need to wait for a software update of some sort..
Thanks guys for the help.

I recommend EasyTether. It works with non-rooted phones, and the LG LUCID that has been rooted. I particularly like the fact that I can use it with both Windows and Linux.
Ok thanks ill give it a shot! Ill let everyone know if it works in a sec
So for some reason no matter what i do, wireless tethering wont work unless i bought the tether service for verizon... i got the usb tether side of foxfi to work but so far wireless tethering is out of the question.
I cant believe no one has posted about this problem except me! Is it literally only me that has this problem? Ive been posting about this all over the internet since the phones release and so far no one has tried to use a tether app to confirm that this is not just a defect with my particular phone!
Im having the same problems
No functional WiFi tethering
But other people have had successes
I going to try usb wired tethering next
Ok cool, thanks for the response. I was able to get usb tethering to work on pda net, but that requires installing another client on my computer as well, and connecting isnt always seamless. I mostly want a wifi hotspot to power all my other wifi only devices once i go off to school at the end of august.
So has anyone figured out how to get the wireless tether working after root? Just curios.
Not that is know of... Head over to android central. They are working on a ROM there which cooooould lead to a tether option in the future
Mine wont work either.

I had that issue with an old LG Optimus Logic
I'm glad I read this thread, because i was about to root my Lucid 2, but I probably would've ran into this problem too. I think some people who have this phone with Verizon Wireless were given a different type of software for tethering. I'm guessing me and you have one of those ones where It only works solo. No mods allowed, but the app below has been said to work regardless. I guess it's worth a shot.
Verizon uses an authentic piece of software for their tethering protocol. I don't know why it seems so mysterious, but it doesn't seem to work exactly like most hotspot protocols. You might have to confess, and get them to help you out. If i were you, and If the original tethering app doesn't work, then try to install the stock firmware back, and use a different root method next time.
-update-
Try 'Tetherfy(WiFi Tether w/o Root) on play store. I don't think i'll be able to make an 'apk' file out of Verizon's 'Mobile Hotspot' app. I believe they have it locked into phone.
The guy's method in the post above might work too. I don't see why not.
hey there
I have noticed your post for a long time and tried various kinds of methods to use wireless tether but failed.
someone told me this device can be flashed to as980 firmware,so i tried and then my android native hotspot function works!
there is my way .
1.download as870 .kdz firmware from somewhere.here is downlaod link(add dots by yourself plz) pan baidu com/s/1ETkrO
下载724.7M)
2.enable "download mode"on your phone
3.use KDZ_FW_UPD to flash
system will be automaticly restart and you will found that your apps and settings are remained.
