So I have spent the last 2-3 days combing every respectable forum on the web and can't find an answer to this.
I did the kies update to 4.1.2 and then rooted with SuperuserSU. Now I need to tether. I tried freezing the TetheringProvision 4.06.30 but that didn't work like it did with the Tethering Manager in GB and ICS.
Can someone advise what the issue is?
I would appreciate any assistance you can give.
I too was looking for a solution. I tried freezing like you did, and that obviously didn't work. I tried the WiFi Tether app (from google code) and while it does create an AP, none of my devices/computers could actually authenticate with it. FoxFi didn't work either, but I did find Easy Wireless Tether (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bigwhiteplanet.tetheringfree) - there's an Ad Free PRO version - which works great. If you have adaway or some other ad blocker, the ads aren't so much a problem and you can get tethering back. I know it's not ideal, but until a solution is found, I think this is an ample alternative.
Thanks for that. I will check out the Easy Wireless Tether and let you know how that works.
The easy wifi tether doesn't work on mine...any other suggestions? It doesn't show up on my tablet as an option for a network.

Hi wondering if its possible to root and use wireless tether for the new htc evo. I see they have the hotspot installed but its a monthly fee service. Can I use the wireless tether like I use to on the hero?
Thanks
much like sublimenal above, I'm new to XDA, and I'm jumping in because this is the place to be for the How-to.
Can someone direct me as to where to read up specifically on the the EVO root and tether process? Am I jumping the gun, and there is a walkthrough in development?
Regardless, thank you ahead.
Hey there, actually i just did it yesterday. It was extremly simlple, nothing like rooting the hero and took me about 3 minutes total lol. Here is the process.
1. on your phone go to http://unrevoked.com/m/
2. download the apk file
3. install the apk file and click start
4. you are rooted!
5. go to this url and scan the code with barcode scanner http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...name=wireless_tether_2_0_2-pre14.apk&can=2&q=
6. install the tether app
7 run the tether app and your solid!
foserious? Man! THANK YOU!
I'm gonna do this right now!
Yeah I couldn't believe it, the hero took me a few hours to figure out how to root/tether even with the tutorials. This was extremely simple, i guess it works for the hero as well but only if you didn't install the 2.1 update.
man, thank you so much. Everything went awesomely.
Now it's time for me to donate to these code commanders.

Why is everyone's evo working on tether and mine i always have problems.If its that simple i would think mine would work.I got tether running and says limited connectivity on my laptop.Also i downloaded the tether on the market place.Could that be the wrong tether...??
please check your tether log, and post any pertinent info.
Also, does your laptop identify the connection as Ad Hoc? What IP does your laptop get if any? Are you using any features with tether like WEP?
Details plz.
Thank you..................
I want to thank everyone that has helped me figure everything out.Just a few things i need to know.
1. Can sprint find out your using tether?
2. Are there settings i can adjust so no one can use tether but me?That way not anybody can connect to it?
3.When using tether,is it best to turn on 4g or is it okay with 3g running?
4. Can i connect more then one device using tether??
Thank you all...
Step 5
Ok i clicked on the url to scan the code and the page wont load. Any suggestions, or maybe different link? I got a 502 server error.
please help..newby...
hi all..please dont be hard on too hard on me for not being a "tech wizard" but I have a couple of questions..I just bought the EVO and I am new to android OS I have always been a windows user so I am pretty clueless on how the android operating system really works my main concern is being able to tether with the EVO with my TP2 I was able to use walking hotspot which now I cant use with android and pda.net which I cant use with my Ipad unless my android device is rooted.can someone post step by step instructions on how to "root" to be able to tether and also if there is a way to "back up" my info just incase something happens.and what to do if I want to restart the phones to the original factory settings just incase I decide to return the device within my 30 day trial..I am hoping all the battery tricks work and I am able to tether with out a problem if not this baby is going back to the store..thanks and I apologize in advance for my ignorance with this topic.I have owned windows mobile devices since it was first introduced so I am clueless to anything else
I'd start by looking in the correct forum or using search.

Sprint monitors data usage, however if you look at your bill the extra $10usd that you are paying gives you unlimited data usage on 3g and 4g. Just be aware that Sprint has reserved the right to throttle down your bandwidth.
So I've purchased a Huawei S7 and it's 99% perfect. The 1% is the lack of the VPN support. There is no VPN support in this build that I can find. I used Wifi Buddy, but I believe that just uses the same backend files as the normal Android builds.
I have a rooted Droid 2 with ClockWorkRecovery and Titanium Backup. Is there a way I can pull the files off of that and incorporate them in to the S7?
When I use the Wifi buddy, it will not connect, just says it had an error while connecting to the server. I ran a form of TCPDump on the router and it's not even attempting a connection. When I use my D2 on the same wifi, behind the same routers/firewall, it connects fine.
I've searched high and low but I'm not finding an app that will do the VPN that my router supports or it has the same issues as the Wifi buddy. It has to be PPTP or L2TP. OpenVPN is not a viable option.
Any opinions, suggestions, hacks, etc? The S7 is rooted as well.
I use a free app called "NeoRouter VPN Free Edition" from the marketplace on my S7, it requires that you run a client app on a PC or server on your network, which you can download from their website, and port forward from your router to that app, once you have done that it is GREAT and free, I use it to remote desktop over and it works perfectly.
Hope that helps
I guess I'll have to do that if all other options don't exist. I'm pretty sure it can be done. I'm hoping it's as simple as getting the FM Radio ported from the Droid X to the Droid 2. If that can be done, I'm sure the VPN matter can be resolved....I'm hoping.
I just went through my Titanium Backup app on my Droid 2 and found 'VPN Services 2.2' listed as something I can backup/restore. I really wish there was a functioning and stable recovery for this thing so I could throw that on, backup the system, boot, 'restore' these services and see if they work. Granted I'd be going from (for all intensive purposes) VPN Services and applying them to Android 2.1, but it's worth a shot I suppose. I just don't want to FUBAR the device without a way to revert.
I have a Motorola citrus trying to get to wifi tether I think I got it rooted with superuser and downloaded wifi tether from market but the phones power cycles when i try to tether. Can anyone help me?
I just tried and had the same result as the original poster, looking for answers I found nothing. Though I did find this post so, BUMP for an answer please.
tethering on 2.1 citrus
I had the same result as above.
I successfully rooted with z4root
tried both
wireless tether for root
and
wifi tethering mesh
Same results, as soon as you start the tethering process, phone restarts..
side note: I know I am rooted as these apps only run if so, i've tried it..
anyone find a hack for running a few apps like 'mint' that are not available in market on the citrus.. even though 'mint' and my local banks app runs on android 1.6 and up
motorola support says the citrus only runs apk files, yet I found a work around to run java apps, just not 'mint' or my banks app runs
this is kind of like bait and switch, the citrus was advertised as being android 2.1 yet its a rather limited version.. its like fedora linux calling itself redhat linux although its based on redhat it isnt..
found one
'Barnacle Wifi Tether' from market worked on my citrus, i'll find out when i get my bill if its good or not regarding the tethering fees. but it worked in a 1 minute short test..
I came across some reviews which reminded me(on of all reviews one person with tmobile was charged):
so i would like to remind people some basics of tethering
1. dont do computer operating system updates on tether
2. dont download torrents or do filesharing on tether
3. dont use a extreme amount of data..
that said I would recommend using a firewall on you computer to block any applcations that might do any of above, and use it when your tethering...
What up everyone!
As we all know, Zdzihu has released zKernel that is capable of many things, one of which include full netfilter support (droid wall & wifi tether). I know that many of have used barnacle wifi but one of the issues I had with it was that it sets up an ad hoc network to allow wifi tethering. The problem with android is that, for whatever reason, it can not connect to ad hoc networks. As such those of us with android tablets or other android phones could not tether using our X10s.
Now fast forward to today. The zKernel (probably other ones by Goro kun too) has full netfilter support but how can we use it? Well, rather simple. Download this handy dandy app from this here link:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
I downloaded the latest evo 4g version for eclair and wifi tethering works! Now I've got my X10s tethered with each other. No more ad hoc support via barnacle wifi for me!
Note: Remember to install zKernel first! Also, I had issues with connecting to a secure network via this app. However, there is an option to enable access controls that allows you to authorize connections.
Thanks to all the developers for making this possible!
Installation Instructions:
1. Download & Install Z's zKernel via Xrecovery found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1135475
2. Download apk in the link in the middle of the page.
be more specific about the kernel, as far as i know the best way to tether is whit bernacle thats on our x10,, and for the use of os tether i read on zdzihu page that is kernel related...
Huh?

Not trying to start a fight but how more specific do you want me to be? Please read my post carefully as I do mention Z's zKernel not only in the name of the thread but in the OP multiple times too. I will bold them for your entertainment as well as provide a useful link to Z's thread. To my knowledge there is only one zKernel that was released as of today's date of 6/22/2011. Please let me know if you know of any others. Additionally, I do mention the use of barnacle wifi in the second sentence above and the problem associated with it. But what if you have another android device? How do you tether it using barnacle wifi?
Thanks for your concerns but please read a bit more carefully as this does relate to a kernel.
can u upload the app u are use? please, because i download more than one but without sucess, only get ad-hoc mode =/

Yes, me too! Only ad-hoc mode!
Still, it's better than Barnacle though, more stable!
Hey all. Looks like I made a mistake. In my haste and excitement I automatically thought the app was not running an ad-hoc mode because I was able to tether my other X10 (with no sim/service) to my X10 that had service/sim. After reading the FAQ of the android-wifi-tether app, I found that it does indeed connect via ad-hoc mode.
The FAQ can be found here:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/wiki/FAQ
My understanding was that Android devices could not connect to ad-hoc mode so I wonder why this app is different from Barnacle. I tried connecting via Barnacle to test if it would work but to no avail.
Do you have a T-Mobile US device that redirects you to T-Mo's site whenever you try to wireless or USB tether your computer? Here are two work arounds to stop that:
Difficulty: Easy. ROM: Any. Description: Spoof computer web browser to say 'Android' when loading web pages.
1) Install an EU ROM. Any ROM based on T-Mobile US has a script that will block tethering if Android is not recommended.
2) (SUGGESTED) (Avoiding the script) No root needed. No APN switching (because that sh!t does not work). You need to spoof your computer's web browser to an Android device. Go on your add-ons/extensions installing page (Chrome, Firefox, Opera, maybe more) and search for a user account spoofer / switcher. I am on Chrome and I use 'Chrome UA Spoofer'. Select the Android Motorola Xoom device to spoof to. Tether via wireless or USB and it works constantly. The only downside is that some pages load in mobile view. You can easily select to show full web page. I used this for multiple hours, multiple PCs, multiple different times and never was redirected to T-Mo asking me to add tethering to my plan.
Why does this happen? Ever since Android 4.0, they added a script in the OS which does this. You cannot uninstall it because it is located very deep in the system (maybe you can, but no one has figured it out.) If you have a EU ROM (no wifi calling), then you will be fine to tether with no problems and no spoofing. Please click thanks if I helped
The APN thing does work; I use it daily for my Fire, and my laptop on occasion. Not to mention the FCC just smacked Verizon for $1.25M for blocking customers from tethering with third party apps, so T-Mobile should follow soon to avoid a similar fine.

T-Mobile should be stopped for that. But I have to say the the APN did not work for me. It worked for about 20 minutes, then I was never able to connect again.

Actually they don't have to allow tethering, nor will they be fined. This was a rule specific to LTE implementations. Since T-Mo is on HSPA+, those rules in no way apply to them.
Also, to the OP -- this works, but you need to keep in mind that it only would apply to web browsing. Tethering is detected via packet identification. The combination of the TTL (time to live) and the device (Android vs computer, etc) gives tethering away. If you were to use bittorrent on your computer, the packets would be identified as computer, and with a computer TTL.
Dang, that sucks. I thought it had to do with data limits, since they aren't required to allow it for their unlimited customers.

It's been figured out over on the Sensation forum. It's a tether apn set to be hidden in the apn.xml found inside the framework.apk, if I recall correctly. Steve from the Elegancia Rom should be able to help.

How did you get FoxFi to work? I tried it and said it won't work on this device. And when I use bluetooth, the tethered device can't do certain things outside of the browser.

Then you are using the wrong rom,I was using Elegancia rom and it worked for me. You can't just root the stock rom and expect it to work, there is a separate hidden tether apn built into the framework.apk I believe.
