This guide teaches you to reverse tether your Android phone via WiFi. That is, it allows you to use your Ethernet connection of PC on your Android phone. It is useful for those who do not have WiFi routers and data connection. So if you have unlimited data plan for your computer, why not share the connection with your phone?
I am not the developer of the files supplied
Requirements:-
1.Rooted Phone
2.Wifi enabled Laptop or PC
3.Root explorer or any other application which gives system access
4.File in the attachement
Procedure :-
Phone:
Download Wpa_supplicant.zip and extract "wpa_supplicant" from it, save it on your SD card.
Open Root Explorer, and grant it superuser access when asked for.
Navigate to system -> bin and long press on wpa_supplicant; Select copy, and paste the file into any folder on your SD card.
Now navigate to the file you downloaded, copy it in same way, and paste it back to system -> bin. Note, you might need to mount the system as R/W instead of R/O by pressing a button on the top just before pasting the file.
Reboot.
▬▬Ubuntu (Must work for other Linux Distros too)▬▬:
Open Network Connections
Goto Wireless tab, select add, and set the following:
SSID:
Mode: Ad hoc
Leave other things unchanged, and go to Ipv4 settings tab
Set method to Shared to other computers
Go to Wireless security tab and set Security to WEP 40/128 bit key and set key to a numeric password (or hexadecimal one).
Check the connect automatically box on top of the tabs and press Save.
Your Android phone must now detect this network, and you can establish the connection by using your security key.
▬▬Windows XP, Vista, 7▬▬
Download and Install Connectify from www . connectify.me/download-lite/
Start Connectify Hotspot by giving a name and password to your hotspot and selecting the Ethernet connection to share. Make sure the security type is WEP or Open.
Disable your firewall (Simply adding it to exceptions doesn't work for AVG at least)
Now your phone should be able to see the hotspot and establish the connection using the password set.
Known Issues :
1.Random disconnections (Very less frequency)
2.Disconnections due to screen lock / sleep on laptop
3.For me Security mode does not works

Reverse Tethring....that means you want to use your pc's internet on your device...thats easy!!!
1. your PC/ laptop must have WIFI and drivers for the same must be installed.
2. download connectify-me from google....
3. install it...reboot your pc.
4. start connectify me.....
choose a name for hotspot...and a password.
IN INTERNET dropbox select the option of the source where your pc is accessing the net e.g. "Local Area Connection" in case you are accessing it from LAN wire......( use your head you ll get the option of internet access)
ADVANCED TAB select WIRELESS NETWORK CONNECTION
SECURITY = ACCESS POINT, WPA2-PSK.
ok.
if there are still issues tell me.
PS switch on WIFI on ur phone and scan for available networks....you ll get your hotspot name created in step 4.
try to connect to it. DONE!!!!!
THANKS TO imetal1
Imagine you have an ADSL connection and a laptop and would like to share your ADSL internet connection as a WiFi connection WITHOUT any wireless routers, ONLY using your laptop's wireless modem.
I tested "Connectify" to do this but unfortunately it shares the ADSL as an Ad Hoc and Android does not scan Ad Hoc connections , However you can root your phone and install some packages to Enable Ad Hoc support in your Android Phone.
If you would like to do that then take a look at this topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754961
Tutorial is based on; lewiverdatama.com/tutorial/solved-setup-shared-wifi-connection/comment-page-1#comment-454
As I was unsuccessful in the process of rooting my phone I decided to find another way. So after some research I found a software called "Virtual Router" which was not working for me again , It could not share my internet at all , it was giving me an error , After a lot of research for hours and hours I tried all the solutions and none of em were working. Finally I found the golden way (Thanks to : lewiverdatama.com/tutorial/solved-setup-shared-wifi-connection/comment-page-1#comment-454) that could let me to share my ADSL using "Connectify" which is a great application (I was using it to share my internet as Ad Hoc and use it on my iPod Touch, Apple's iOS lets you to connect to Ad-Hoc connections)
Now I am going to show you how to share your ADSL connection as WiFi (ACCESS POINT) ====>
FIRST BE SURE THAT YOUR WIRELESS CARD IS TURNED ON
I HAVE TESTED THIS METHOD ON WINDOWS 7
1. Go to "Start" and start "Run" , Type : cmd and press enter
2. Now type : netsh wlan show drivers
3. Look for "Hosted Network Supported" (you may have to scroll up a little to find it)
4. If it is "NO" , then we are going to fix it. If it "Yes" and you cannot share your internet as Access Point in Connectify then I would still recommend you not to give up and do the further steps.
5. Close the cmd window.
6. Now go to "Device Manager" by right clicking on your "Computer" and choosing "Properties"
7. Look for "Network Adapters"
8. Expand it (Double Click on it or just click on the little triangle beside it)
9. Look for the model of your Wireless card (Mine was : Intel(R) Centrino(R) Wireless N-100)
10. Google the model and look for the latest driver available and download it , or "MAYBE" you can get the latest driver by just right clicking on your Wireless Card model in device manager and selecting "Update Driver Software".
If your Wireless card is Intel then you can go to this link and simply get yourself the latest update easily by one click (Java required)
www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect
11. After you have updated your Wireless card to the latest version available, then you might restart your Computer (well I didn't as it was not needed at all), So you can restart it or not. It is totally optional.
12. Now as we did in step 1 and 2 and 3 you should open a cmd window and type "netsh wlan show drivers" and now look for "Hosted Network Supported". It should be written "Yes" in front of it now.
13. Get yourself the latest "Connectify Pro" application. At the moment of writing this post the latest version is 3.6.0.24540.
14. Install it. Run it and input the required details and be sure to choose "Sharing Mode: Wi-Fi Access Point"
15. Fire up your Android device
16. Enjoy the internet universe on your Droid!

-----------------------
Transfer files via an Ad Hoc WiFi Network. Although 'Airdroid' , '3CX DroidDesktop 2' and other WiFi file transfer Apps require a routed connection to function, this method is akin to 'Wifi Direct' in that the device creates the network, the PC connects to that network, the device then 'serves' it's contents and the PC accesses those contents via a web browser.
Apps Needed
Fast File Transfer (Free)
X-plore (Free)
Step 1 - Establish an Ad Hoc Network Connection
1 - Open X-plore, select a file, select share, then select 'Fast File Transfer'.
2 - Configure a network name (SSID) + password for the Ad Hoc Network 'Fast File Transfer' creates.
Step 2 - Create a Bi-directional connection between your Android Device & PC
1 - Connect PC to the newly created network.
2 - Open X-plore and select 'Start Wi-Fi file sharing' to activate file transfer capabilities.
3 - Open a web browser and input the phone's location info provided by X-plore.
*NOTE: DO NOT ENGAGE 'FAST FILE TRANSFER' (with a probable location of 192.168.43.1:8080) BECAUSE THIS WILL CLOSE THE AD HOC NETWORK!!!!
Step 3 - Close the Connection + Disable the Ad Hoc Network
1 - Open X-plore and 'Stop' WiFi File Sharing.
2 - Exit 'Fast File Transfer' to terminate the 'Ad Hoc' network.
*'Fast File Transfer' retains Ad Hoc network configuration, no need to configure each time.
* This Ad Hoc network works for RDP as well. I use 'Jump Pro'. It's processor and RAM intensive, but works. I'm assuming there aren't any inherent limitations to the Ad Hoc network 'Fast File Transfer' creates, but I haven't gotten a VNC app to work. Worth a try.
* X-plore limits some file transfer capabilities without paid app (e.g. direct SDcard file transfer). This is frustrating, but the developer wants to drive some revenue; And for all it's functionality, the App is well worth it.
*This is not a WiFi Tethering with file transfer solution. Connecting to the Ad Hoc network DISABLES INTERNET. This is like connecting your device via a cable. It's also much more secure because your files do not pass though a router (thereby the internet) but directly from your PC and device (& vice versa).

Hi, I was interesting in this matter. Transfer big files between HTC One and PC.
But I have a problem with the fast file transfer,when I share a file the program shows this message:
NOT COMPATIBLE. It seems like your device does not have a valid WiFi Tethering ...
WTF??

Frustrating, I know.
I found and documented this hack before I had cell service. Once I activated my phone with Metro PCS they broke the function because I didn't get 'Tethering' as a paid option. They remotely disabled all built in Android tethering capabilities. Your carrier might block native Android tethering as well.
I haven't found a solution for this carrier violation yet. To reinstate the function would assuredly include low level coding, up to and including flashing the ROM. I only root my phone and don't flash the ROM because I don't think using CyanogenMod or another Mod is much better than my customized rooted stock Android, especially after 4.0 (ICS).
I can suggest using the AirDroid option for now. I'll look for another solution in the mean time. (At this point I just remove my sd card and transfer files that way. I know the HTC One doesn't have an sd card slot so this isn't an option for you. I'll do my best to find something)
when i reached step 2-2, i couldn't start Airdroid (as it needs internet connection) and Fast File Transfer had been already turned the connection off for tethering.....
any one have an idea!!!
it works dude. thanks.
Direct connection between phone and pc
Your method does work but i found 3CX DroidDesktop works much better and faster. Hope it helps.
Things are more simpler than it seems to be.
I am going to share how I did it, in very simple way.
Things you will need :
PC with any wifi working (NEED NOT WIFI-DIRECT AT ALL
Any android mobile with hot-spot working. (Rooted for root directory)
ES-File manager (Free)
Main reason to write this tutorial is for broadband users of PC, not having wifi-direct card, and no use of any wireless router or LAN or any fancy device.
I will tell you my short story, I am a usb-modem user with 2g/3g net with very limited data connection. Also cant buy wifi routers just to put my mobile n PC on "same network" criterion. USB was a pain and also very limited to just SD-card, and no root access via USB. So I took this mess and did my all to settle it as I need rather than fancy drivers and devices.
Enough of spoilers, lets start :
Mobile side settings :
Install ES-File manager. Goto windows->default->check remote managerBack to Home-screen and swipe to remote manager page, It will say no connection detected (its ok)Click on turn on wifi to enter in wifi settings and start hot-spot (or you can do it first)It will show an ftp address like "ftp://197.0.0.1:3721/", NOTE IT DOWN
Pc side settings
Search for the just created Wifi-Hotspot and connect to itNow 2 ways to connect to mobile : 1. Open windows explorer, directly write the ftp address as it is and voila you see your mobiles directory there.
2. Open windows explorer->right click on my computer->Add a network location->Next->write the ftp address->(<give a name>)->finishBoom, it will show as network mapped folder, click on it goes to your mobile.
THINGS TO REMEMBER :
IF YOU NEED TO ACCESS THE ROOT FOLDER OF YOUR MOBILE, SET THE PATH IN REMOTE MANAGER'S SETTING OPTION (SET ROOT DIRECTORY)
Any problem you tell me.
Sorry for my English.
Hi, I am very familiar with methods for bypassing mobile data (T-mobile) throttling when hotspot is enabled.
I tried every single one of them. It doesn't work on my phone which doesn't have USB debugging enabled.
Please don't tell me to root my device or enable usb debugging. I will never do that.
I have found one solution which is kind of a pain to setup everything
And I have found one other half measure which is a bit easier to setup.
Solution one involves,
1) Downloading Termux
2) Type ifconfig to get the hotspot IP address
3) Set password with passwd
4) Type sshd -dD
5) Then over to the PC, open up my ssh client (I use bitvise)
6) Type in the hotspot IP address and the listening port from step 4
7) Go to services tab and enable socks/HTTP proxy forwarding. Set listen interface at 127.0.0.1:12345
8) Go to PC global proxy settings and type in 127.0.0.1:12345
9) Check the speed to see that it is not throttled
10) I was getting 10-50 mbps now
Solution two involves,
1) Downloading proxy server app
2) setup a shadowsocks server at hotspot ip:random port with aes-256-gcm encryption
3) Go to the PC and download shadowsocks program.
4) Add server ip as the hotspot ip. Add server port as the random port assigned in step 2, add password
5) Right click on the tray icon and set system proxy as global.
6) Check to see that speed is not throttled at 600kbps
7) I found out that it was now throttling at 3mpbs instead of 600kpbs
Problems I am facing.
1)DHCP assigns random IP to the hotspot IP whenever you turn on / off the hotspot.
There is no way to assign static IP without root. So I like solution 2 because the proxy server app automatically updates shows me the hotspot IP and I can simply click it to set it. With solution 1, I have to go to termux and ifconfig everytime to get my ip address.
2) The shadowsocks solution is slower at 3mbps max speed compared to solution 1. Although it's better than the 600kbps throttle, I still don't know why it is being throttled at 3mbps. Anyone know how to fix this?
3) I would like to mask my internet activity on my PC from my mobile provider with a VPN or something. Everytime I enable the VPN on the PC on top of everything, Then I'm back to being throttled at 600kbps.
If I enable VPN on phone before setting up shadowsocks, then it doesn't work. My end goal is to prevent my carrier from knowing what I'm browsing on my PC that is connected up to the shadowsocks being hosted on my phone using the mobile data. How to achieve this?
Thank you.
