Anyone know which wireless tether app works with the temp root? I've tried a few and a no go.
I've seen claims of barnacle working, but have yet to try it myself.

Barnacle works perfect. Thank you, and I hit your Ty button.
It can't stay connected though, since root is temp, correct?

I have Barnacle wifi tether running on my 3D with temp root. Works great, but yes it is temporary for now.
If the wireless part isn't necessary, pdanet works just fine without root.

I can temp root with no problems using my MacBook Pro and Fre3vo but no wireless tethering joy for me. Wireless Tether doesn't work at all. Barnacle gives no errors with the ad hoc connection, everything looks fine, even Snow Leopard's network diagnostics say that my internet is working fine, but no data is transmitted or received. I even tried all the tips/tricks in this thread, still no joy. Any suggestions?
PdaNet works ok with USB but is very unstable with Bluetooth.
BTW I had no problems at all with the EVO 4G either in ad hoc mode (early versions of Wireless Tether) or non ad hoc (whatever that's called, recent versions of WT).
I've tried most of the methods out there and the one in this thread has the highest success rate IMO. One important thing: check your apps and if you have "Super User" installed as an app, uninstall it first before trying the method in that thread.
Barnacle works perfectly for me under that setup.

I have the same issue. I also have a mac so it might be a mac issue. I get tether to work on my wifes shift so I know my computer works.

Thanks, the version of wireless tether mentioned in the linked post worked for me and I'm posting using it! I had tried every other version of WT on the google site, and every version of Barnacle I could find, none worked.
BTW I didn't have any error messages or have to change any settings as that page suggests, it just worked the first time.
This is the only version of WT that starts without errors for me, and I have to us WT as it can set up the softap network (Asus Transformer doesn't see ad-hoc). It sees it and connects, but can never get an IP Address.
Anyone else experience a similar issue?
How I got it running......
1. Get temp root by one of the methods in the forum
2. Download the wifi tether apk from the root/FAQ thread.
3. In the settings change profile to htc evo 4g
4. In settings apply check to box to fix HTC routing.
Wifi tether should restart and you should be in business.

You mean this version, 3.1 beta 2? I've tried all the versions out there and some work perfectly some of the time, some never work, but none work all of the time. Can't figure out what changes, it's so random. I'm using the 3.1 beta 2 version to write this, but yesterday it didn't work and tomorrow I predict it won't work. BTW every time I start this version I get an error/warning message that some necessary thingamajigs aren't there, but I dismiss the message and it works anyway.
And of course I know I have to re-root after every restart etc.
works sporactically
Both Barnacle Wifi Tether and Andriod Wifi Tether work sporadically for me. It worked a few days ago and now it doesn't work.
is 4g tether working? I could not get it to work using barnacle
Barnacle works perfect for me with 4G...I haven't had one problem with it...
Supposedly, a beta version of "Wireless Tether for Root Users" worked so long as you checked a box in the settings that was specific to HTC devices. I forget where there.

Hmm, I couldn't get it to work with temp root.
i had to set it to device profile thunderbolt to get beta2 working.
also have an odd issue with it..when after a reboot & reroot wifi tether doesnt work right away. even starting/stopping multiple times didnt fix it. it starts working later..either after using barnacle for a while or just time passing by. im not sure which one.
Yeah, I had the experimental version working once then never again. This is the same. Worked once but wouldn't load any webpage. Barnacle seems to be the most constant and best so far
Sent from my 3VO..
faiyo was right
try setting profile to thunderbolt. start wifi tether. it will not connect. stop wifi tether then start/stop barnacle.
finally, start wifi tether n it should work.
Tried it twice...first time worked, lost root. 2nd time...did not work..lost root. Barnacle is dependable, works and no loss of su.
Ive only gotten barnacle to work. I cant get this version to work.
I don't understand why it isn't working for you all. It's working perfect for me. I installed it and using prema-temp root finished 100%. I don't change any of the settings in wireless tether and all is well. I updated the link to make sure you download the right one.
It's working for me. I installed it over beta1 and then wiped data. Tried it at first without changing any settings. The first time it took my laptop a very long time to connect and for a little bit it said limited connectivity, then suddenly it was working. Stopped tethering to change SSID and add encryption and it worked like normal the second time.

If you have to use Barnacle to "patch" Wifi Tether, why not just use Barnacle in the first place?

Its working perfect for me.
On first startup it said something about my kernel.. Hit ignore and I checked routing fix in settings.

PDANet works on mine. I think wifi tether will work if you're rooted. I am not rooted, so cannot say for sure.
I just rooted. I installed wifi tether. The phone makes it look like its working but if it does not show up in the network list of any of my devices like my laptop and my tablet. Anyone have wifi tether working after root?
I used the 3.2 beta of WiFi tether on my rooted photon and it worked great for me.
Which WiFi tether are you using? Who is the author? Did you get it from the market?
Nevermind, I picked up Barnacle Wifi from the market and it appears to work fine. I am posting this message from my Macbook over the barnacle wifi on my photon

Scratch this! The Barnacle program does work but when you turn it off and I did this twice to repeat it, I had to reboot my Macbook, my phone and for whatever reason why my home router in order to get my Macbook and Photon to connect to my home network again. So I guess back to square 1, anyone know a program that works properly? I have tried many now including different versions of WiFi tether and my Photon will not show up on any of my device networks.

I downloaded out directly from their website.

I used pdanet to USB tether and ir0t worked great. It was almost too easy!
I can confirm that WiFi Tether if you go to there website the 3.1 Beta 2 appears to work perfectly on a rooted Photon. My phone now shows up as a network and with security on and everything my tablet and laptop surfed the net no problem.
I disagree 3.2 doesnt work , the best you can get is adhoc and it tells you that access control can not be enabled
I can confirm that my paid-for copy of PDAnet 3.02 works on my Windows laptop w/ my non-rooted Photon over USB. However, PDAnet does not do wifi tethering.

What does your comment even mean. So is only adhoc bad? What is the use of access control?
What would be the ideal situation? Sorry for asking so many questions but I have never used the wifi tether 3.2 app before.

Just a heads-up for anyone trying to connect to WiFi Tether with some/most Android tablets (like my Xoom). You might need to modify your device to be able to join ad-hoc networks. For the Xoom, it was as easy as replacing the wpa_supplicant binary.
Before I changed that file, my Xoom couldn't see the wireless network that my MoPho was broadcasting.

I followed his directions and I paid for the sqlite editor app he recommends (I think it was $2.50), but I'm sure there's freeware...
after the quick hack it allows you to use the preinstalled mobile hotspot or USB tether functionality or you can download the wifi tether apk

Currently the built in WiFi tether when hacked with sqlite editor will only work in USB tether mode. Wifi tether isnt 100% Alot of sites just fail to load for what ever reason. Maybe this has changed now, but when I changed the entitlement check on mine alot of site just would never load over wifi, but worked great over usb.
Ill deff look into it once im off work.
I would prefer wifi tether or maybe even bluetooth tether for a tablet

Admittedly, I've only tethered a couple of times now, but didn't notice any issues, I mainly tether logmein to run my work computer remotely...hmmm maybe try the wifi tether apk and use ROM manager to fix permissions like mentioned above???
I just followed the same guide from when I used sqllite on the Bionic and it has worked spot on ever since. Mine has been 100% no messed up pages as others have reported. Just change your Entitlement Check to 0 and reboot and you should be ready for Free Wifi Tethering ;-)

I did actually use the built in WiFi tether as well as the wifi tether apk and both of them showed the same issues with not loading certain pages correctly. However I never fixed the permissions since it was never mentioned to try that. Once I get my new razr on friday i'll give it a try.
I think though that its something with how the data gets routed from the 3/4G chip to the wifi chip. When any of you have been wifi tethering with either application, have you been on 3G or 4G data? perhaps this is the issue? I've been in a 4G area trying to wifi tether and having it fail, but I have never tried on 3G...
Also I wonder if after the OTA update that the results will be different? can anyone confirm this yet?
Is anyone else getting the message "tethering or mobile hotspot active" in the notification bar when using the wifi tether apk? My X never displayed this notification when using wifi tether.
I just tried the Barnacle Tether app. THe phone is brand new, so I don't have any billing info. however, I did get the "tethering" notification. Is there a setting that hides my profile first?
We will see.
If you're rooted, Android Wifi Tether works. In AP/Infrastructure mode no less. No SQL editing either...

I am using the Verizon mobile hotspot feature on my Razr (not rooted) and several pages (like the ones you described) do not fully load. When I use the USB tether, it works flawless.
Here is a link to a discussion on this and a workaround for your PC. Unfortunately, it won't fix WiFi tethering to a tablet or gaming device.

Did you set the device profile to the Razr?
I know with my Droid Pro, the tethering would not work under the Pro profile, but it would under the Droid 2 profile.
I've been trying to get my Epic 4G Touch running the wifi tether app 3.1-beta6 (only version I am aware works for my phone) but the View can't see the wifi connection. Perhaps something to do with the way wifi tether is running? Ad-Hoc mode? Anybody know of a work around?
I am running Wifi Tether v3.1 beta 2 on my Droid Charge with no issues. I currently have mine set to the Samsung Fascinate for the device. You could maybe try changing the device to see if that does anything. I know I was having issues connecting one day and I just had to uninstall and reinstall the app and it started working fine again.
Which type of wifi connection your phone presents is device dependent. Some can do infrastructure which will work, others can only do ad-hoc , which the Flyer and most android devices will not see without a modified wifi supplicant file. If your phone tether cannot be seen on your Flyer you need to install the wifi supplicant mentioned in other answers in the forum, do a search for supplicant . That is the only way to fix this, and you must be rooted.
I use Wireless Tether app on my rooted Droid X and the view sees it just fine. Connects without any issues.

I'm quoting DigitalMD because it appears this information may need to be repeated. I'm fairly certain that most Samsung devices are limited to ad-hoc only and that makes all the difference.
I'm downloading the wifi ad hoc enabler now to try this out...
I have a rooted Nexus S 4g on ICS- and wifitether works fine for my ipad2... but the HTC View doesn't even see the signal. Is this a carrier issue with the View, an HTC specific thing? I'm surprised the iPad had no issue as I've had plenty of public wifi connection issues...
Just trying to understanding the issues at play better here.

Does it have anything to do with being on ICS on my Nexus? If you're doing adhoc from your evo (assuming...) why would the view not see ad hoc in my case?

Right, but to do that, i need the View to be rooted correct? The point i was trying to make was it seemed like some people got this to work without needing to do that...unless i misunderstood...
EDIT: The following worked for me- Fox Fi on the phone, "PDA NET for Tablet" application for the View. activate both... No settings to be changed, nothing needs root permission.
nexus S4g phone with ICS rooted codename ROM and stock HC HTCView. Tethered great.
Well, I got this working with the LTE and Transformer Prime tablet.
Download FoxFi app from here to your phone. It is not available in the Sprint Play Store (Sprint blocks it).
http://foxfi.com/bin/
Bluetooth tethering does not work, at least I couldn't get it working. However, wifi tethering to this HTC phone DOES work, even though the Play Store description indicates it doesn't,,
"Turns your Android phone into free WiFi Hotspot - no rooting or tether plan required. Just install and turn it on. Bluetooth mode works for all phones. WiFi mode currently works on most Samsung/Motorola/LG phones. WiFi mode does NOT work on Motorola Droid 1, Motorola Triumph, Samsung Admire, LG Revolution or any HTC phones, use Bluetooth mode instead."
After install, just launch the app, click "Activate Wifi Hotspot". Then, I connect from tablet to "AndroidAP", and I'm done.
A couple things. The FoxFi "Network Name" does not seem to matter. Mine defaulted to Android92 but the Transformer Prime still sees it as AndroidAP (no matter what I change it to on the phone). Also, the WPA2 security does not seem to work. If I enable it, the Transformer Prime never prompts for password entry, it just connects.
Try it out on your tablets, or laptops and let me know your results. Nothing is required to be installed on my tablet.
It works for me as well, however like you it doesn't matter what I rename the network, it still shows as AndroidAP on my WiFi device.
Also, even though I put in a WPA2 password, it still shows up as an open network with no password required to connect. So, this may not be great for airport use (which is mostly what I use it for) because everyone can just connect to your network with no password required.
I'm on my 3D waiting for my LTE and its the complete opposite. Bluetooth does and WiFi doesn't.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
I'd actually prefer the Bluetooth tethering to work. I'll play around with that some more tonight. I seem to get this Error Code 67 issue, which a Google Search indicates might be show stopper.
Also, I emailed the developer about this issues. See if that yields any response.
I agree about the open network issue. However, it would be fine for use in a car while driving and wanting to use a tablet instead of the phone.
Wifi Tether that worked on the OG Evo with Sense works fine on the Evo LTE. I downloaded it from the Play Store and chose Generic ICS as the setup. WPA/WPA2 encryption works and had no issues connecting to it and using it via wifi. I have not tested the BT connection.

Nevermind...I see you meant your EVO LTE.
I just took the Wifi Tether for Rooted users app from my EVO 3D and it worked fine.
What is in Play Store is NOT the same. You have to go to his web site to get the latest (which I think is still beta).
I knew the one on my EVO 3D worked on ICS.
I was running MeanROM ICS 1.4 and just grabbed it out of system/app or data/app from the .ZIP file for the ROM.
Set Profile to Generic ICS, Router Fix on, Clamping Fix on.
Oh what the heck, I uploaded it. This wifi tether app works on EVO LTE.
Just install it like a normal app by double clicking on it from a file browser on the phone.
If IE9 rename it to .ZIP rename it back to .apk.

I tried BT tether with FoxFi on new LTE without root and it gives me an error. Any suggestions anyone?

Foxfi works for me as well though I have the same security issues. So does this mean that htc has removed the "hotspot lock" from the lte? I tried the same foxfi app on a htc evo 4g and it gives the hotspot lock error.
wifi works for me now.. don't know why.. but I'm just happy it works
Sorry I didn't notice no root.
Also I can't understand why you wouldn't root.
It is the most simplest process and completely reversible.
I might even keep this root even if s-off is achieved.

If you run the RUU, it's exactly like it was shipped.
If you don't run ruu, yes they can tell. If you do run ruu, they cannot tell.
It's pretty safe as far as warranty goes, unless you do something dumb, like bring it in rooted.
By the way sprint replaced my 3d under warranty with it s-off and saying virgin mobil. But I admit I was lucky.

You can use Wireless tether if you download FoxFi directly from their website: foxfi.com/bin ... you can't use the one from Google Play. The one on Google Play won't work on HTC phones. I haven't tried BT tether, but WiFi tether works well on an unrooted phone -- except you can't seem to secure the connection. You can input an SSID Network name and a password into the app, but it shows up as unsecured and with the default name of AndroidAP. Must be something to do with the workaround they had to do to get past the lock HTC put on the phones.

I have tried this (with root) but it doesn't seem to broadcast the network or show any data usage.
I also tried FoxFi in the OP but no luck either. Windows (7) see the network but it would show No Internet Connection, or at other times it would say Windows cannot connect to AndroidAP.

I had the same problem. I tried BT tether but didn't work either. I installed wifi tether (needs root) but I don't have root YET. Then installed PDA apps from market. Reboot phone, reboot computer because nothing seems to work. I'm not sure what helped but FoxFi works now for me.
