Unable to tether on lollipop - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I have been unable to tether since upgrading to lollipop. Web pages simply will not load on connected devices.
I have always been able to tether on kitkat, and upon restoring an old backup running kitkat, I am still able to tether, so the problem is definitely lollipop. I've tried adding net.tethering.noprovisiong=true to build.prop, and editing settings.db to no avail.
Has anyone else had this problem? I'm considering switching back to kitkat since tethering is pretty important for me.
Many thanks,
Jack

I haven't had any trouble tethering (T-Mobile, rooted stock 5.0.1).

Cannot enable Wifi hotspot on Telstra one xl, cleanrom 4.5

Hi All,
I flashed my phone with Cleanroom 4.5 few weeks ago without any issue. Recently, I tried to enable wifi hotpot/ tethering, an error message says "There is a temporary network problem that prevent the enablemwnt of the Mobile hotspot function. Please retry later".
I try with another wifi hotspot apps, but no luck.
Wifi and 4G, 3G are working fine.
Anyone experience this issue? and how to fix it.
Thanks.
Any of the market apps do the same thing? I tried enabling my hotspot on my Telus HOX and it would work but my tablet would not be able to pull any data. Used an app from the Play Store and all is good again.
this post should be in the Q&A section.
did you flash any mods to cleanrom? flashing the att icons for example might cause this problem.

Thank you for replying.
I only flashed cleanrom 4.5. This rom already changed 4G icon. Not sure that cause issue.
I tried apps on Play Store but still does not work. The apps give wiress signal but could not connect and go to internet via it.
Any ideas?
(From Scott) In 4.5 there is file called CleanMODS under Sdcard. I flashed it to remove the 4G icon and Wifi hotspot back to work now.
Thanks all.

I flashed CleanROM 5 using TWRP and I love it. Without remembering the issue with the AT&T icons and tethering I accepted the icons and lost tethering.
I could not find CleanMODS within the CR5 zip. I have found it in CR4.5.
How do I use it to go back to stock icons? Or can I do this within CR5?
I need a bit of a walk-through if someone could take the time? I have a Rogers HOX, unlocked and rooted.
You have to use generic ics profile for market wifi tether apps to work.
Ok, I see what you meant now but it made no difference.

[Q] Tethering stopped working

Since the FW update to A.5.77 I can't tether any more.
The devices connect to the phone alright, but no data is coming through.
Has anyone else the same problem and/or found a solution? I had the internet settings re-sent, and restarted. No difference.
Post your APN info, I've had this, and solved it.

Wifi Hotspot doesn't work, Stock 5.1

Good day everyone,
I looked through the internet and couldn't find any relevant post that would be remotely close to my issue, hence creating this thread now. I do apologize if I missed something.
Per section, I have Nexus 5 16GB White model. I recently used google factory images to completely wipe my device and upgrade to the new Android 5.1. I had no errors and everything went smoothly and my Nexus 5 now runs stock Android 5.1 with Franco Kernel. Yesterday I was able to use my phone as Wifi Hotspot but as of today it suddenly stopped working. When I press a quick toggle for Hotspot, I can see the icon activated and the icon in the status bar but there is no Notification saying that the Hotspot is activated, and none of my devices (Laptop and Nexus 9) can see the hotspot.
What I tried:
Obvious, rebooting the device
Removing and putting back in Sim Card
Flashing stock kernel
I do not use any mods whatsoever except the aforementioned kernel which prior to Android 5.1 clean flash has never affected wifi Tethering.
I live in Finland currently and there is no carrier restrictions on tethering.
I would try flashing stock image once again but would like to avoid unless it's a last resort.
Thank you for your time.
Mine works OK. Use it instead of wifi as I've unlimited 4g data and single. I depend on the hotspot working.

Flashed a stock ROM, USB tethering stopped working.

So basically my WIFi stopped working a few days, that "Unable to scan for networks" bug and i decided to flash a new ROM. Eventually i managed to get some 4.0.4 one working buuut the Wifi usb tethering was broken or something, so i decided to try and go back to the stock ROM (as a few other roms, including the CM11/12, weren't booting). I downloaded the European/Eastern European ROMs from this topic but for some reason the Tethering was still not working. My main phone's tethering is working perfectly fine but i don't want to ruin its battery by letting it charge all the time so i want to get my Explorer fixed. Any idea what could be causing this?
tl;dr : Stock ROM, usb tethering is not working, need help
PS: Tried the tethering on other PCs, didn't work. 3rd party tethering DOES work but it really kills the speed, hardly an option.
If you can't think of a solution please post ROMs that you know have USB tethering working, that's really the only thing i care about.

Tethering apps not working on bootloader unlocked XZP

I use CWM Tether for usb and Secure Tether for wireless. Both have worked well for me. I have an XA2 bootloader unlocked running Oreo and apps work as they should. I have an XZ2 compact running Pie, bootloader still locked, apps running fine. I have an XZ Premium, bootloader unlocked running Pie and both apps will run but the CWM app will not download ANY data but shows outgoing data. Secure Tether will run but will not pass through data to connected devices, and windows 10 will not see the wifi signal at all, but other phones do. I have tried other firmware from different regions but unless I revert to Oreo and want to deal green pics, nothing seems to help. Even tried the tethering enable module for Magisk....no help. Now, if I want to use the native tether and hotspot apps THEY WORK, but, I'm capped on high speed tether/hotspot data. The two mentioned apps I use don't show up as such. So...any ideas?
