Before I updated to 5.0 I used WiFi Tether Router and that allowed me to tether with my unlimited data and it would be reported as phone data instead of tether data.
Unfortunately ... Unless I just failed at rooting somehow?... My other root apps work fine so I doubt it is that...
I have emailed the dev and he is working on it (but it is a holiday so it most likely won't be fixed until next week and I need tethering when I am at my dorms because my internet is really really slow at my dorms)
Does this app still work for you guys.. or have another one that would work for this?

There's a workaround I use that doesn't require an app. Well, it only requires one at first.
Download SQLite Editor from the Play Store, and navigate here:
/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
Select "global" and add a new entry to this called: "tether_dun_required" with a value of 0. Then go to your APN settings and change the APN type to either IPv4 or IPv4/IPv6. Reboot.
i use pda net
usb tether
hides data well

Yes this does work. I've done this for over a year on many devices
I copied this from another post on this site (sorry I can't give credit now b/c I didn't copy the actual link), but here are the non-root option where you can adb a command to enable tethering on t-mo.
Option 2 (no root required)
An alternative that does not require root or the SQLite Editor app is to connect your phone via USB to your computer and execute ADB shell commands. To use ADB shell:
1. To unlock developer options on your phone, go to Settings > About Phone and tap "Build number" seven times.
2. To enable USB debugging on your phone, go to Settings > Developer options and check “USB debugging”.
3. Download and install the Android SDK from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html.
4. Download and install the Nexus 5 USB driver from http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html.
5. Modify the provider settings for T-Mobile.
a. Open a DOS prompt and navigate to the “platform-tools” directory in your Android SDK installation (e.g. “C:\Development\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\sdk\platform-tools”).
b. Execute adb shell content insert --uri content://settings/global --bind name:s:tether_dun_required --bind value:i:0.
c. To verify the entry was successfully added, execute adb shell content query --uri content://settings/global --where "name='tether_dun_required' AND value=0".
6. Change the APN settings to use IPv4.
a. Go to your Android’s main Settings.
b. Under Wireless & Networks, go to “Mobile Networks.” You many need to hit “more settings” to get to this option.
c. Tap on Access Point Names.
d. Tap the selected APN.
e. Scroll down and tap APN protocol.
f. Tap to select “IPv4” or “IPv4/IPv6” for the protocol and save the settings.

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?

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.

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:

●●[ROOTED][GUIDE]Wifi Reverse teTher-Windows and Ubuntu-Ad hoc Networks●●
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)▬▬:

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.

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

If you still haven't found anything to indicate that your computer is Wi-Fi enabled, right-click on "Computer" again, select "Manage" and "Device Manager." Then click on the "Hardware" tab. Read the list below "Network Adapters." Note that any adapter labeled "Ethernet" or "10/100" has nothing to do with wireless compatibility. However, any adapter labeled "wireless" or "802.11" indicates compatibility.

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?

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
