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.

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

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
The other day, I got a text from AT&T indicating that an official 2.3.5 kernel was available for my Captivate. Great, so I fire up Kies mini and install it over my rooted stock 2.2.
Update goes well, I have Gingerbread. All of my apps remain in place. Re-root (SuperOneClick) and my Titanium Backup works like a charm.
However, I can't get my WiFI to connect to save my life. IT scans for about 15 seconds then shuts back off. I can't even enter WiFi settings manually, because it shuts off and "fail to save" the settings.
IS anyone else having issues with WiFI on the AT&T stock Gingerbread kernel? (No, I don't feel the need to upgrade, since I just want to be able to use TiBU)

I just updated to stock GB and have no issues with Wifi, although I am not rooted. I thought that rooting with SuperOneClick didn't work with this 2.3 stock.

I'll have to check that when I get off of work. That's what I used to root the unit when on 2.2. I wonder if the root just carried through the upgrade?
Anyway, I am probably going to flash back to froyo and update GB again, sans root to see if that helps.
For the life of me I couldn't get Superoneclick to work on 2.3.5, or 2.3.3. I flashed the rooted kernel with Odin.
No questions in General, post them in Q&A.
I can't seem to get any tethering apps to work. No barnacle, Android wifi tether for root users, Foxfi, nothing...I'm rooted and unlocked, currently running the rooted stock 2.20 ROM, but I've also had Milestone 6.3 and 6.4 AOKP and same issue.
The wireless network shows up on my PC, but I can never connect to it. Any ideas?

Answered my own question.
In the Wifi tether app settings, change device profile to generic ICS, then hit menu and reinstall binaries. Worked immediately for me after that. Haven't tried barnacle again because I didn't need it, but Wifi Tether for Root users works great.
I'm on the latest 23.3.24, unlocked bootloader and rooted. I've been experiencing problems with Bluetooth not working at all and wifi as well on the 2.4ghz band. Can't pair with any devices and wifi only works on the 5ghz band. Wifi hotspot will only work on the 5ghz band as well. Have tried using different baseband radio firmware and different roms, full wipe, and updating to the latest stock rom. Still having issues. I have a feeling it has to do with the hotspot entitlement hack I used posted by Topsnake, since thats when I started having problems. Anyone know what else I can try to resolve this?
Remove the entitlement hack and all is good
CM12 Inside DROID Ultra
Even after completely wiping the phone and installing latest stock rom the problem persists. I'm now using iKrYpToNiTe's app for bypassing entitlement check:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/themes-apps/app-hotspot-entitlement-bypass-v1-1-5-9-t2705152
Should also note, checking bluetooth and wifi were the first things I tried right after wiping and installing the latest rom, and I'm pretty sure whatever changes topsnake's hack made were cleaned out with a system wipe.
