Solved in post #2 & 3.
My wife has a Charge and I am trying to root it for her just so she can tether her laptop from her phone instead of my ThunderBolt all the time.
I used Odin v1.82 to flash the latest recovery file (0817_charge_recovery.tar).
I flashed PB&JTime Kernel from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126136&highlight=latest+kernel.
I rebooted phone to find I had no root using Root Checker from Market.
I manually downloaded SuperUser from Market. Rechecked and had root access, according to Root Checker.
I'm running GummyCube2.0, successfully now.
I downloaded both OpenGarden and Barnacle. Neither tethering app will work. Everytime she tried to connect to my phone, it shows up as a wifi network, but her phone shows up as an Adhoc network, which will not even connect.
Any idea what's going on here? Any more information I can provide to assist in finding a solution? Any help is appreciated... I want MY phone back, damnit!

Edit: That worked great in conjunction with this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1166497, which I just happened to see while browsing. Nothing even came close in search. Sorry to waste your time guys, but thanks for the help!
I am not sure what caused this. Yesterday during the day, i was using my wireless tether app just fine. Then lastnight I tried to connect to my computer, and my Android wifi network is not listed on my computer as an available network to connect to. I have rebooted the phone and computer about 5 times. I have tried a different computer, and an ipod, nothing is seeing my wireless tether network.
I also tried using the stock wifi hotspot app that came with the phone, and it will not start up or broadcast a signal.
So for whatever reason, my phone stopped broadcasting out a wifi signal. I can still connect to wifi from my phone to another router, I am just not able to use my phone as a hotspot anymore.
Has anyone else had this problem or seen a discussion on this issue anywhere? I have the stock ROM, but I am rooted. I did not change anything from the time that it was working, to the time when it stopped. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but I know thats not the problem anyhow.
Same thing.
The same thing happened to me, the only way I could fix it was to restore a nandroid from when it worked and update my apps from titanium backups. Still don't know what happened or why.
Ok, yeah I am kind of assuming I am going to have to do a reset or load a custom ROM or something. Thanks for the info.
If anyone else has any suggestions, let me know please.

Yes I am also having this issue, It was working last night Now it will not show up at all. I did nothing.. I did get a update on my Super user
Can't root (SU) or use FoxFi after Sprint ASA-14 update
So I never rooted my phone and made the mistake of allowing Spring to do an OTA update to ASA-14. Now all the root exploits don't work and FoxFI doesn't work. Since I can't root I can't use Wifi Tether either.
I desperately need someway to let my phone do a WIFI Hotspot with sprint ASA-14 update on my phone! HELP!
Why can't you just unlock the bootloader and root?

I have unlocked the bootloader, but with the ASA 14 update I am unable to root via the moto2fail method. I was able to root with ASA 10 using the same method but when I try to downgrade I get a security error on the stock bootloader.

Motofail2go is broke with the ASA14 firmware. If you are unlocked, flash the TWRP recovery available in this sub-forum and it will root your phone for you..
Get your TWRP image here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1887070
I use method from HERE. It's easier to gain root.

The new TWRP automatically roots the device... flash TWRP and when you reboot TWRP it will detect you are not rooted and root the device for you.... so I'm not sure how that thread is easier lol.
Either way, you will get root and custom recovery. So either method is fine.

Yeah..actually I rooted by flashing cwm and then the superSU.zip. After that,I flashed TWRP. I'm getting used to TWRP since using SS3 on my D4.
Sent from my XT897 using Tapatalk 2
Success!
Thanks for your help! I got TWRP installed and then installed the SU.zip and now I have root with ASA 14.
FoxFI still doesn't work but I was able to get "WiFi Tether" to work since I am now rooted.
I rooted and now the WIFI tether app will not work/.. ANY IDEAS
just FTR, my photon q with some version of CWM and supersu as the root program was able to use "wifi tether" (no longer available on the market!?). this was just last night.
the only problem is that it can only broadcast an ad-hoc network. this isn't picked up by a lot of devices, namely tablets. my win7 laptop can see it and connect just fine, however.
i tried changing the "setup method" to the only other of the two available (some ad-hoc method and "native framework tether") and the device crashed. when it rebooted, it was selected, but it didn't work.
food for thought.

Not to hijack but can anyone recommend an app to hide the tethering usage from the carrier? Like a proxy app? Thanks in advance.
Basically,
WiFi on my tablet will not turn on. Bluetooth will not turn on. Device is completely stock, running .25 update. Anyway to unlock the bootloader like this?

Or, at least root the device so I can reverse tether via USB and then unlock it that way

Do you mean downloading the OTA's from the ASUS website? I just did the update to 10.4.4.25 by downloading it from ASUS and placing it on the internal storage. Then it came up with an "update available" message and I ran it that way. Is this what you mean? This is the only form of updating/flashing I have done on this tablet.

Yes, that's a full rom update. So your wifi showed that it connected to your router. If you tab and hold down on your router connection, then select advance option, is it set "none' for proxy and "dhcp' for network? Also can you "turn off" wifi??
No no, I manually put the firmware update on the tablet via USB. You can not turn on or off wifi on the tablet, it is forever stuck at "Wifi turning on"

OK, you did the full upgrade and it's still not working, I think it's time to give Asus a call. I suggest to get a replacement before you unlock the device.
So this morning I upgraded to 4.3 and I know 'now' that I should not have because it destroyed my WiFi Tether and it locked the bootloader so I can never ever root again (I think)
My questions is:
Can I ever WiFi Teather anymore or is my bootloader locked so I cant reload the original factory ROM that came with my phone before the updates or do I have to now get a new phone to do this?

You cannot ODIN back to a previous factory ROM, but you can still WiFi tether. Check this thread:

You still can root 4.3 and you still can do wifi tethering..you just can't play with custom rom/kernel anymore. Trade off is you have a trouble/headache free phone with good performance and battery life...so there's no lost there.

Check out the link in this post for saferoot, it has been proven to work on the 4.3 update:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48617470&postcount=1
And as buhohitr has pointed out in other threads, the app WiFi tether router (available in the play store) apparently works.

Thanks landshark68. Also FoxFi just update their app and it should work too!! the downside with foxfi is you can not disable lock screen if you're using Foxfi tethering.
Foxfi works as well. I use to dislike foxfi but its growing on me. I also like knowing that if I ever get a phone that can not be rooted it will still work.

You can disable it by putting the wrong pin in 5 times then say you forgot it then log in with google. It will keep the certificate and get rid of the pin.
Edit* use pattern not pin

I tried that and it, after 5 times the only option I get is an OK button, no way to tell it you forgot it.

Don't know how I got it to work with pin before but I just got it to work twice with pattern. The option will be by emergency call after 5 wrong.

You can root with saferoot, but do not try to use CWM or TWRP recoveries. Any non stock recovery will result in a brick.
And you can't downgrade either. 4.3 bootloader is locked down hard.

Thanks, I did root with safe root, but WiFi tether is no longer working...but FoxFi seems fine.
I wonder if VZN blocked WiFi tether too?
Can anyone confirm its not working with safe root and stock rom 4.3

wifi tethering is working with saferoot and pure none rooted 4.3 phone. Foxfi will work with none rooted and rooted and wifi tether router will work with rooted 4.3 phone.
Works wonders.
Have you tried EZ-Unlock? That has always come handy for me every time I need to unlock my boot loader.
