[ANDROID L][SCRIPT/FIX] - WiFi & USB Tethering fix for Android L - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

We know that Android L Preview release have same issues : One of this is Wifi/USB Tethering not works.
I find on xda a temporary fix for this issue (thanks buraktamturk) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54067884&postcount=3041
I simply done a shell script that give you and install the default gateway ip for your active data connection.
So every time you active a new data connection and you must done a tethering Wifi/USB condivision,
remember to run before this script.
Whats you need for make it work.
FIRST INSTALLATION
Your device must be rooted and you must have busybox installated link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox&hl=en
Install Root Explorer from play store (is not free) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer&hl=en
You need it for execute wifi-tethering-lpv-fix.sh (you can also use terminal emulator even if you need more steps)
Download and Unzip the script attached and save it on your Nexus5 folder (i.e. /system) and give permission rwx (read-write-execute) with root explorer apk. (or chmod 777 wifi-tethering-lpv-fix.sh with terminal emulator)
RUN WIFI/USB TETHERING SCRIPT
After that every time you start a new data connection done this steps:
1. Run wifi-tethering-lpv-fix.sh with Root exlorer apk
2. Enable and disable tethering ; After that re-enable it. (this step is important otherwise dhcp server is not started - internal bug from Android L preview)
Now your USB or WIFI tethering connection would be work.:good:

An interesting problem...

Ok, so between your post and the other fix that you have posted, i have had SOME success, but is this significant?
I have a Nexus 5, that generally has a sim card i use primarily for data, which is on Aldimobile (MVNO using the Telstra 3g network), at the time i first tried this, i had an Amaysim (MVNO using Optus 3g network) inserted. So heres what happened -
I first followed your procedure (Amaysim card inserted, unsure how or if this is significant) , which allowed me to create a wifi hotspot connection between the laptop and the mobile. The effect was actually almost immediate when i ran your script. This did not allow any data throughput.
I then used the procedure you have provided in your link above, and bamf, i had a working wifi tether connection. Easy as pie.
I can report that it is repeatable, and you can enable then disable tether at will, until you reset the phone, and you have to go through the whole shebang again (i presume due to your mobile provider updating your ip address)
BUT - I then wanted to use my Aldi mobile in it, as the Amaysim is the one i generally use in my general purpose mobile, so i slapped the Aldi sim into the mobile... and.... nothing.
No amount of fiddling around with resetting the tether, changing settings, your script, the other script, would allow either a tether or data throughput.
Any ideas?

No need more this my script !! New Android pre-relase lollipox (LPX13D) have fixed it. Wi-fi and USB thethering works no more bug

Awesome

Cheers for that info, i hadnt found anything mentioning updates fixing this. Ill go download it.
Thanks for the quick reply, and good work.

This is a massive bump but it might help someone:
I had an issue on my Nexus 5X running 7.1.2 (beta), it had the same symptoms as OP; no default gateway, WiFi & USB tethering not working
Ran this script and now it works again, so the bug has either returned or wasn't fully fixed

Enable Tethering on the new oem Froyo Rom

As the title suggests this is how you enable tethering without the verification process at&t has that checks to see if you are on the tethering plan. Beware it will suck up your data so if you don't have the unlimited data plan (most folks dont) you can run up your bill. Of course you can always just use a custom ROM.
1)get the update from samsung via kies
2)root your phone I used SuperOneClick
3)install TitaniumBackup
4)In Titanium Backup look for an application called Tethering Manager 1.0 uninstall it
Plug your phone in usb and turn on tethering. I unplugged the network cable from my PC and just plugged in my droid so I can verify that this worked for me. I did have to toggle the use packet data under the wireless networks menu off then on one time to get it to work but not on subsequent attempts. I don't have my laptop at work so I can't test the wireless hot spot feature but when you turn it on it doesn't go through the verification so I'm assuming that works also.
So for those of you that don't want a custom ROM and want tethering there you go.

you can also delete tetheringmanager from the /system/apps folder using root explorer if preferred.
will this also enable Mobile AP or only USB tethering?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Just checked from my home laptop and yes Mobile AP also works. On the screen to turn in on or off it will say you need the feature on your account and to dial 611. But you won't need to do that as it will not enter "verifying" mode.
Since the real update was not available until today, I suspect that these tests were not done with "official" AT&T 2.2 update.
Removing the TetheringManager.apk does NOT work with the official release.

you sure about that? you know, cause the version we already had IS the official release...it just got to us early.
Just tried removing TetheringManager 0114.apk from /system/app and rebooting.
When I look at Settings > Tethering it still has the notice about needing a tethering account, turning on USB tethering seems to do nothing, and EasyTether still doesn't work.
(With the apk removed, Tethering 1.0 no longer shows up in TitaniumBackup)
I am using the official release that I got over kies from samsung I did it this morning. I shall send a screen shot of my phone if you really want it.

if you are on official release, you probably need to remove .odex file too, if it exists.
but regardless, when you remove the tethering apk, you will still see the message
To test this. Make sure you have no internet connection on the pc you are connected to disconect or shut off your pc's wi-fi or unplug it from the network. Make sure debug mode is off... Plug your phone in when it gets to the screen asking what you want to do just click home. Pull up tethering turn it on wait. Pull up a browser see if you are connected. If your useing a mac I can't help you. Will try to do this on linux when I get a moment.
Hmm... Looks like there has been some additional posts since my last refresh so I'll change my post a bit.
I tested and verified this on an official rom updated using Kies mini. I used root explorer to rename the TetheringManager0114.apk file to TetheringManager0114.apk.disable. This was to keep the file around just in case it is needed later on. I rebooted the phone and I tested both Mobile AP and USB Tethering. Both worked as expected but I had to do an ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew to get them to kick through. I had wifi disabled on my laptop (was used to test) and no ethernet cable plugged in. There is no odex file to worry about in the official release for Tethering Manager.
P.S. - As already stated above you will still get that message.

i didn't have to take any steps aside from removing the tethering apk
Ok !!! it works.
My problem was really pretty simple ... the tethering AP is on channel 6, as is my home AP.
The home AP was completely swamping the the android AP so I couldn't even see it.
Anyone know how to change the channel on the Android AP???
I completely deleted my file it never occured to me I may need it later on. Can one of you kind people post or pm with it?

Which file?
TetheringManager 0114.apk
or you can use an app called pda net
what fun is it if you just go installing apps and not try to break your phone.

check cog4 he has a link in the op with the apk
Here's the long and hackish way to do it if you don't want to buy some apps. It's long but relatively safe. Not responsible if you brick or do other bad things(tm) to your phone!
1. Root your phone. Nothing sinister here and easy to do with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
2. Install the Android Developer SDK onto your machine (good for sideloading apps) For info on installing and sideloading visit
http://ars.samsung.com/customer/usa...ID=2&PROD_SUB_ID=557&PROD_ID=558&AT_ID=303992
Yes, Samsung tells you how to get around AT&T.
3. Open a command prompt (in Windows go to your search bar and type "cmd")
4. Navigate to where adb is installed. In mine (Win 7 64 bit) this was C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
Code:
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
If you need some help, open Windows Explorer (not IE) and search for adb.exe, then copy the path as text and paste (right click) into cmd
4b. If you've not done so before, please put your phone into USB Debugging mode
5. Open the adb shell
Code:
adb shell
6. Go up to root. Your screen will look like this
Code:
$ su
su
#
The # means you are now root. You may, on your phone's screen, need to approve this
7. Mount the system folder into read-write (this is why you need root)
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
8. Move to /system/app
Code:
cd /system/app
9. This is where the aforementioned TetheringManager0114.apk lives (boooo!) If you want to verify this (these commands are all cAsE sensitive)
Code:
ls Te*
Should dump out
Code:
ls Te*
TelephonyProvider.apk
TelephonyProvider.odex
[COLOR="Red"]TetheringManager0114.apk[/COLOR]
We want to RENAME the file
Code:
# mv TetheringManager0114.apk TetheringManager0114.apk.old
10. IMPORTANT - remount /system in read-only
Code:
mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/stl9 /system
11. Restart your phone and enjoy your tethering (but not too much, lest you run up your bill!)
Please note that this does NOT remove the AT&T notices about needing an account when you go to enable tethering.

Ad-Hoc Wifi on Acer A500 Tablet (Honeycomb)

I was able to get wifi tethering up an running using the information in these posts:
Root the device using these instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13292713&postcount=82
Enable Ad-Hoc wifi access using these instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033314
Worked very smoothly and it was my first foray in to Android and rooting....
BTW... I am tethering to a WinMo 6.5 phone using WMWifiRouter. It works nice too!!
Thanks for pointing out the thread that worked on your A500. I am going to try it this week. I'm also new at this and have been able to root and do a few other things thanks to everybody that posts the great walk-throughs here.
I got adhoc working on my A500 also (tethering to a jailbroken iphone with PDANet). I was running into issues trying to run the ADB REMOUNT command, with the error "Operation Not Permitted" being returned. There is probably a more skilled & elegant way do do this, but I modified the instructions I found here:
You need to turn on Airplane mode to disable wifi, or you will get an error when trying to copy the wpa_supplicant file with ADB PUSH later on in the instructions...
adb shell
# su
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# chmod 777 /system/bin/wpa_supplicant (Or any subdirectory you want to push to inside system)
# exit
adb pull /system/bin/wpa_supplicant <local path on your computer> (this is to backup your original file in case you have to restore it)
adb push <local file> <device location>
and eventually you should restore the original directory permissions by going back into the shell:
# chmod 755 /system/bin/wpa_supplicant (Or any subdirectory you modified permissions to)
Now turn off Airplane Mode, and give it a test.

I also got adhoc wifi working on my A500 too by manually update wpa_supplicant via Root Explorer since the Acer new OTA version Acer_A500_1.126.03_COM_GEN1 still don't fix this issue.
I accidentally did it without turning the wifi off, now wifi doesn't work. Is there a way to recover it?
That's weird, it wouldn't even let me overwrite the file unless airplane mode was on (disabled wifi). If you made a backup copy of the file, just restore it. If you didn't, here's my original backup (which is not modified)....be sure to unzip it first before using it though.

Nothing, still get the same error, i think something happened in some other files because it was connected when i changed the file. Any idea of what could it be?
What error are you getting? I would also try rebooting your tablet. I am, unfortunately, no expert at this...I've only had exposure to honeycomb for 5-6 days now. So, I'll have to defer to all the experts in the forum.
I even tried a factory data reset but still get the same error, it just doesn't connect.
Any idea of what could be the problem?
Maybe i should wait for the os update?(can i do it without internet connection?)
A500 rooted/recognizing wifi, but pages don't load
I followed the steps: rooted my A500, uploaded the wpa_supplicant file, changed the permissions. I use WMWifiRouter on my HTC HD2 phone. Now, my A500 recognizes the ad hoc wifi and connects, but the browser fails to download any pages. My Acer netbook (Windows) works fine using the same connection. The A500 has Dolphin, Firefox, and pre-loaded browser - none of them will download pages. Also, the A500 browsers work fine on my home wifi and other wifi networks. Just not on the ad hoc wifi. Any ideas?
Damn, it took me hours to stumble upon this thread, but thank god I did! Now I finally have ad-hoc wifi working, though I couldn't follow the instructions: adb just kept complaining about device not present error. Had to do it another way.
Dear Sir
I have same problem with you.
My cell phone is HTC tough diamond and the soft is Windows Mobile 6.1.
My A500 can link with my cell phone but can't run browsers neither internet.
How do you conquer this problem? Can you share it?
Pretty sure your issue is with permissions.
I used a terminal app and entered the following for permissions w/ wifi disabled:
su root
chmod 755 /system/bin/wpa_supplicant
chown system.wifi /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
Reboot and try again.
I so want to do this, as I could really use a WiFi AdHoc connection, but do not want to brick my WiFi. Are there a few other people who can confirm this as working?
I am using Acer_A500_4.010.13_COM_GEN2. Thanks

This worked for me using root explorer. Thanks for the post, I was getting a little mad that the ipad could see my phone but the a500 wouldn't see it.

[Tool][Windows Only][Root] Android Reverse Tethering

CREDITS TO capslock66
ORIGINAL THREAD http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1371345
Android Reverse Tethering for windows users.
Tethering is the ability to surf on your pc using the 3g of your phone
Reverse tethering is the opposite : surf on your phone using the ADSL of your PC.
This work only for rooted users !!!
For non rooted users, you can try my other solution, but require more manipulations and is limited to surf : http://www.codeproject.com/KB/androi...orwarding.aspx
Installation :
Unpack the zip file. This zip files contains the windows part, ADB and the android APK.
Before starting the tool :
Ensure you have debugging enabled on your phone :
Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging > Turn On
Ensure you have root access AND SuperUser application installed.
Change the superuser settings (Menu -> Preferences -> Notifications part) :
Uncheck "Notifications" label to display "Do not show notification when an app is granted Su Permissions"
AndroidTool
The AndroidTool.exe is the windows part
he low level communication tool (ADB) is included in the zip file.
AndroidTool will try to find ADB in c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\adb.exe
If not found he will use the provided one.
The first time you use the program :
If you want to use another version of ADB, clik "config" and in the first tab enter the path to the ADB
Select the DNS server to use in the right list. On complex system, some dns can be detected.
Start reverse tethering
Just click “Connect”.
If it's the first time you use the program, This will install the latest android package and the dependencies (busybox and redsocks).
The SuperUser process may ask you to allow “Usb tunnel”
If the android process crash after receiving superuser rights, close the windows program and start again.
The android interface (first tab) will show connections forwarded to windows.
Others tabs are just for debugging (give information about system route tables and connections). Not yet finished.
Start your browser
Google chrome will complain that no connection is available. Don’t care. That work.
Firefox , opera and dolphin don’t have problem with that !!!
The current version of the application can’t forward low level ICMP packet (PING).
From Android Os point of vue, there is no internet connection.
Market :
The search market work, but due to the same connection problem, it’s not possible to download. I hope Google will fix the market.
Other apps :
The system detect automatically ports like http (80), https (443) , Market (5228) . UDP ports like DNS also work.
You don't need to add static ports in the windows program (config / ports).
Tested under :
Tested under more than 20 android model. Thanks for your feedback
I will update the tool every week.
Version 2.25 :
less traces
added upload / download / connections
some bug fixes

Agreed. You link to the original dev work so he can monitor progress of how many downloads.
There is a new app called ReverseTether that allows you to do just that and it doesn't require any additional windows software or tech savviness, and it's very straight forward and simple to use.
Check this out:

hello ,
i tried your program version 2.25.
connected galaxy note 3 (rooted) with usb2-microcable to computer.
activated usb-tethering on note 3.

I was wondering why it doesn't work but i know why now my Android is a 5.1 then I will wait

[ Solved ] Working 100% - Enable WiFi ad-Hoc Network for both ICS / GB -htc Sensation

[ Solved ] Working 100% - Enable WiFi ad-Hoc Networking for Both ICS and GB for htc Sensation
For GB , this Patch will enable ad-hoc 100% steady connection for both ( WEP and open Networks ) , Also Hotspot WPA2-PSK is still able to connect
For ICS , the APK will enable ad-hoc 100% steady connection with Full WiFi Signal for both ( WEP and open Networks ) , and for Hotspot WPA2-PSK use through regular wifi menu
General
Android does not show this Ad-hoc networks ( it Finds them in the search , but filters them out of the shown results ) , this patch prevent that filtering and shows those ad-hoc networks
There are two types of WiFi Networks :
Infrastructure ( Hotspot ) WPA,WPA2-PSK which is the most secured connection , usually routers broadcast this
Ad-hoc it is either WEP or open network which is less security , usually issued through a laptop connected to a DSL line to broadcast a temporary WiFi connection
DISCLAIMER
I am not responsible if flashing this Mod results in bricking your phone
for Rooted devices​
ad-Hoc Networking for GB
Download Link
See attached Patch Ad-hoc Sensation-Ad-hoc.zip ( Full Credit and thanks to leeDroid )
ZT-180 Adhoc Switcher APK can also work with GB , But i prefer the permanent solution of the above Patch for GB
Apply the Patch
it is always good to do a Backup for your data , Or Just Backup the original file " wpa_supplicant " located in System\bin .
to restore the original file " wpa_supplicant " any time :
just open the Patch in a winrar window and navigate to System\bin and over-right the one in the Patch with the original ( you can get the original from your Rom zip ) . apply the modified Patch from recovery and you are back to the original
if you use Root Explorer to restore the original file ,make sure to set the correct permissions and ownership values
Clear Dalvik cache , and install the Patch from recovery as usual
ad-Hoc Networking for ICS
it is always good to do a NAND Backup for your Rom and data
there is an APK named " ZT-180 Adhoc Switcher " which i geuss is not intended for Sensation but can support additional devices in the try Mode , this APK has two modes
infrastructure mode infrastructure mode.jpg ( will not be used , for Hotspot WPA2-PSK use regular wifi menu )
and " Just to try " ad-hoc mode for non supported devices Just to try ad-hoc mode.jpg that we interested in
the " Just to try " ad-hoc mode worked fine with Sensation
it connects fast , very steady connection with full Wifi Signal and a fast WiFi Data transfer , Ad-hoc it is working for both WEP or open network , Please note that some firewalls could prevent you from connecting even after adjusting its settings
Ad-hoc ( open Network ) :
open network connection doesn't require a Password ,
to modify either SSID name or WEP password , go to setting while you are in infrastructure mode and modify or clear the name in SSID then just switch back to Just to try mode and enable WiFi
if you clear ( remove ) the default name in SSID , this lets the device find and connect automatically to any open ad-hoc you establish from your laptop for example with any name of your choice ( on condition that your ad-hoc connection should be the only available ad-hoc connection in range ) ,
if you leave the default name in SSID "Android tether " as it is , it will only look for a connection with the name "Android tether " that is issued from your laptop and it will not detect any ad-hoc connection with any other name
if there is more than one open network in range that can be seen by the APK then
tip 1 : name the connction in your laptop same as in device SSID ( i.e android tether )
this is because if there is more than one open ad-hoc network and you left the SSID name empty , you can not control which connection the APK will choose to connect to
tip 2 : or use Ad-hoc ( WEP Network )
Ad-hoc ( WEP Network ) :
if you want to use WEP connection , go to setting while you are in infrastructure mode then enter SSID name and Password then switch back to Just to try and enable wifi WEP Password.jpg
the name of the connection should be the same name of the connection you started on your laptop for example
there is a complete help for the APK when you press the thin line under setting
Superuser.APK
if you are using the normal Super user APK opens normal , But if you are using the New SuperSU APK there will be a delay of maybe 5 sec for starting or executing Commands
please read this first #70 , Please note that this APK is not fully compatible with sensation although it worked fine with me
there is another APK ( try it if you like to ) named " WiFi AD HOC enabler " which doesn't really work good ( very weak signal and disconnects frequently ) , or at least this is what i experienced
Connectify Pro
there is a small yet powerful PC Software Called Connectify Pro ( i can't do without it ) that does three things :
it is for windows users
Acts like an actual hardware Router ( Not software networking )
toggle wifi with a single click for either ad-hoc or hotspot ( can start the same ad-hoc connection after reboot )

There is an application similar to connectify, hostapd for ubuntu which I use all the time . But both the application ( connectify and hostapd is hardware depended . If your wifi Card supports infrastructure mode or master mode , then only they will work. ) So this work around will help those users.
Thanks for your post dear..

i literally cannot figure this out... the instructions are really vague. "install the patch as usual from recovery" what is usual? you dont say. i backed up the wpa file and just used root explorer to overwrite it and it instantly broke my wifi. i restored the original so it came back fine but i dont know how to install patch from recovery as usual. obviously the APK says i dont have all of the files and must close. please help. running ICS viperrom 1.01

ok, after reading the post for the 10th time i guess im not supposed to apply the patch since im on ICS? well, i restored completely to before i tried to get adhoc working and just installed the APK and it still didnt work. said i didnt have all the files and it must close. the link to the APK in the play store doesnt work because sensation isnt supported and i just had to find it online. Could it maybe be the APK that im using? Does anyone have a working one they could send to me or any ideas to a solution?
It's not work with the latest Sense 4 build (HTC Ville C2 latest RUU (1.11.401.110) Android 4.0.3 ICS). So can you tell me how did you do with the wpa_supplicant file please? I want to modify it myself.
is it only working for HTC OR any GB ROM ?
Thanks
what are the specific steps in applying the patch?
whats needed? and steps?
thanks
Is it just depends on replacing wpa_supplicant file, or something more?
Because author of this apk said that file is vary for various devices, and I'd like to request for Onda V972 V1.
Apk doesn't work.
Can I just replace it without recovery, or is a stock recovery does the same in case of not having other one?
edit.
Here is how to compile proper wpa_supplicant file for your Android version:

[Guide] *Reverse Tether* (Wifi method)(Download anything) [Windows and Ubuntu Users]

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
HIT THANKS IF IT WORKED
ENJOY
