I just rooted my phone and installed Gladenable to enable tethering and sideloading on the Atrix.
Sideloading works great but still i can't start tethering.
I can't put up a new apn for at&t because the phone won't accept it.
Is there a way to enable tethering on my rooted and unlocked atrix?
Google Barnacle and install that. It is the best wifi tethering app out there. It should work fine as long as you make sure you give it super user rights when it first starts.
If you can't give it superuser rights make sure that your phone is rooted correctly and you have busybox installed
Problem fixed... Added tether to my normal apn and it accepts it.

In all the 2.3.5 ROMs I have tried, the built in WiFi tethering fails to save any settings. If you change the SSID from AndroidAP to anything else, once you come back to the settings page it will revert back to AndroidAP always. Does anyone else have this issue with their latest ROM?
Cheers.

If your phone is rooted, you can use apps like Barnacle Wifi Tether.
Works perfect for me. It remembers all settings. App also displays downloaded/uploaded data volume real time.

Thank you for your response! I gave it a try but unfortunately it just doesn't want to share correctly. I tried a few WiFi tethering apps but they all seem to fail and it's not because I don't have root access, I think it is because they are not 2.3.5 compatible yet. By the way, do any of them support WPA as opposed to WEP?

afaik, barnacle supports only WEP encryption....
Don't know about other similar apps (like android wifi tether, easy tether, pdanet, etc)
gmatharu12,
It seems the bug is rather a Google one than Samsung. Many Nexus users have experienced the same when getting the 2.3.6 update. Then Google pushed out another update to fix it along with a bunch of others.
Back to our cases with 2.3.5, I also notice the DUN APN type once was shown up in 2.3.4 has gone. Not sure if it has a corelation or not.
Yeah i have the same problem...be good when some one finds a fix...wish i could but i am no way near the level of the devs here (respect)
I confirm that the problem exists on 2.3.4 and 2.3.5, KI4 / KJ1 (stock and custom roms)...

And KJ2 has still this bug...
Does someone know where the config is stored? Perhaps I could try to manually change settings...
Folks,
This is strange because some reports in the Google support forum, it has been fixed OTA for the vanilla build for Nexus S.

Azurstorm,
Of course, we are posting here for our Samsung GALAXY S II GT-I9100. But my point is that Nexus S is a "close relative", and many things should be similar.
The issue is already resolved. Right after you flash a ROM, change the wifi tethering setting first BEFORE you enable wifi. If you enable WIFI first, then yes, the tethering setting cannot be saved. I've tried this several times and it certainly solved my problem.
If you change the wifi tethering setting first, THEN you enable wifi. After that the settings can be saved.

Thanks for your advice, I found only one combination possible:
1) Deactivate all wifi function.
2) Reboot
3) Change tethering settings
4) Activate wifi or tethering
But it's a little excessive to change one setting
dikai_yang / Azurstorm,
*Update: Thank you! It seems the key to success is disable WiFi fisrt and reboot. It is kind of hassle but consider once it is set, most of us would not change it too often.
same problem here :s
Actually, the sure fire way to fix this issue, is to correct the permissions on the /data/misc/wifi folder. (you must have root)
In a shell window or terminal emulator, type:
chmod 770 /data/misc/wifi
This should fix you right up. No reboot necessary.
Samsung screwed up with the Kernel in 2.3.5 firmware, you just need to use another Kernel, something like Speedmod or Siyah fixes it.

Right, but if for some reason you don't want to flash a different kernel, you can just adjust the permissions of the /data/misc/wifi folder, provided you have root.
ctomgee / LiFE1688,
Thank you.
I have rooted my phone but not flashed the stock rooted ROM onto it yet. If I want to use wireless tethering on my phone do I need to have a custom kernel installed or am I able to use it with the stock system and kernel?
The reason I am asking this is because I honestly do not feel like installing the stock rooted ROM just yet as I am currently in the middle of configuring a lot of things on my launcher, lockscreen, etc. I would like to wait until those configurations are complete and saved onto my SD card before I flash a different ROM. That way I can flash, load saved settings, and go about my business.
Supposedly there is something within the kernel associated with a netfilter that the tethering apps use for the exploit. Does anyone have any insight into this?

You can do it fine with the stock kernel
Awesome!! Thanks!!

May i ask which wifi tethering app would work with the stock kernel?

Hello Everyone.
After intalling CM9 on my Motorola Defy, and my wifes Galaxy Nexus (dont ask) i decided to do the same thing on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 (3G-version). I followed this method to root my device, except i did install CWR 5.5.0.4 instead of the one that was in the zip.
Posts there claimed it would be unproblematic that the root-file were for the wifi-version only. (This post for instance)
Prior to that did i "Factory reset" in CWR, and I installed the cm-9-20120611-NIGHTLY-p4.zip from this post, as well as Gapps.
Everything went as smooth as expected, and i were a happy camper.
The problem did arise when i wanted to use my tab as a wifi hotspot, as i use it in my work-car, and i get internet access on my work laptop from the tab. The laptop seem to connect fine with the tab, however, it dont seem to obtain an IP-address. (Socalled "limited internet access" in windows7), and a "cmd->ipconfig" show only the internal windows IP, 169-something-something-something.
I did then try to use the blutooth tethering, but to no avail.
My MotoDefy (with quarx CM9 build) could neither connect to the tab', but it _have_ done that on a daily basis with stock ROM. (Only 200mb free data traffic on the phone, but unlimited on the tab)
So ... Where do i go from here. I've tried to search both on google, as well as on the search-function on this forum, but neither did give me any good results.
Did i use a wrong Rooting-tool/script/hack?
New Kernel?
Downgrade to an older Nightly?
Use some other CM9 KANG ?
I _could_ put the simcard in the PC, and use the PC as the tethering device, but the PC's connection seems abit unstable, and i need to reboot the PC from time to time. Plus, i work as a telecom technition (install fibercable to homes and buisnisses), and the tab is way easier to carry inside to the custumer if i need to access some of our websitebased systems. (View status on the modem, the port its connected to, signal/noise ratioes, change modem mac address in our systems if the modem needs to be changed, etc)
From what I've read, ics removes free tethering which means you have to purchase a tethering package from your carrier. I've had this problem myself, and reverted back to gingerbread from pics and have been able to free tether again.

Hi!
I have the same problem with same build.
I have been using AOKP before without this problem. I'll see if todays build is fixing this, otherwise I'm going back to AOKP...
Now working with todays build!

The CM9 build of today? Then perhaps i should reinstall that again, as i reverted to some stock-with-benefits build i found... But i REALLY like the CM9 feel, the "keyboard" is just WAY more awsome then the one in the 3.2 versions...
installing the one dated 13th june did solve the problem, and i can now 3G->wifi tether with CM9
Yes, and smooth!!
Hello all. I'm having fun with this phone (t-mobile optimus l9 p769). I have rooted without unlocking bootloader.
No custom rom or anything just stock 4.1.2 JB. I am having an issue where while wifi tethering if i am downloading a large file through windows 8 laptop running chrome ua string safari and wifi tether for root users the data will drop and the file will cease to download with (unknown network error). The only modification I have done is install artas' tweaks for stock rom. I'm not sure if that is what could be causeing it or not. I dont know of a way to revert from those tweaks to find out. If anyone would have some info on this I would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks...

I have been getting lots of drop outs also here in San Antonio. It might be the LTE rollout or maybe T-Mobile is mad because I use so much data.
Are you using the built-in tether or a root tether app with my instructions here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201062

I used your method to enable tethering. But I have to use chrome browser with ua spoofer in order to surf. Is that how you are able to accomplish it?

No. You should be able to tether without hiding your activity.
