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.

Just got it working on My Coworkers 3vo. download wifi tether 3.2 from the web, then go into settings and there is a setting in the menu that says enable for htc devices, once I did that it worked like a charm.
**Note** you need temp root

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.
New wifi tether 3 beta2 working perfect on EVO 3D now!!!!! With temp root obviously... Just released a few hours ago. Just thought I'd spread the love.
http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...tail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-beta2.apk&can=2&q= Download: WiFi Tether for Root Users 3.1-beta2 *** BETA ***
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?
Mike
Its working perfect for me.
On first startup it said something about my kernel.. Hit ignore and I checked routing fix in settings.
Haven't had any problems

I just installed ICS from the Verizon OTA update (after manually kicking it off). I was rooted before, but had stock ROM. I did absolutely nothing to try to keep root (didn't install Rootkeeper or anything like that). The install took about an hour, but it completed without any errors or hiccups.
After the install was complete, I verified that I still had root (yes, yea!). The next thing that I did was try to run my WIFI Tethering app, SVTP. It ran fine until I told it to turn on the hotspot. The phone immediately rebooted. So I uninstalled and reinstalled SVTP. Same result. It reboots the phone as soon as I try to turn on the hotspot. Sooo... apparently I need a new WIFI tethering app. :crying:
Can anyone recommend one that works well on the Razr... on ICS... on Verizon?
Have you tried foxfi?
Same Problem

I've emailed the developer. But Foxfi works for me.
Why not just hack the stock tethering app? You'll get stronger and more dependable wifi then any app. It's as simple as changing a "1" to a "0".
Download Sqlite Editor (a couple bucks), open it, go to:
- The second Settings Storage (com.motorola.android.providers.settings)
- Settings.db
- Settings
- line 150 will be "entitlement check". Change the 1 to a 0. Save changes, reboot and you can tether for free.

Joshw0000's method is what has worked for me, but first I had to get root working correctly. You see, when I first updated, I thought that I had root, because SuperUser was there (as it turned out, an old, out-of-date version) and it said that there was root, but it was not really rooted. Read this post in this thread about how I finally achieved root.
After finally getting root, I again tried SVTP. Again it crashed my phone. Next I tried Joshw0000's method and was successful using the built in Mobile HotSpot app (but without having to sign up for $30/month to Verizon). His instructions may not be as clear as everyone would like, so if you're confused, watch this YouTube video.
Using a 4G connection on my phone and tethering by BlueTooth, Speedtest.net reported 85ms Ping time; 1.40 Mbps download; 1.55 Mbps upload. Unfortunately, I am unable to get WIFI tethering to work with the built-in HotSpot. My Window 7 Pro (64bit) pc tries to connect, then gives me a generic error. On the Razr, it briefly shows a message that a device has been disconnected.
I've tried FoxFi and it works over WIFI. Speedtest results for it were 94ms Ping; 3.04 Mbps download; 6.85 Mbps upload.
I also tried WIFI Tether 3.1 (Beta 14) (also called WIFI Tether for Root Users) from here. It's available on Google Play. It says that it is running, by my PC never sees the SSID. I've used that tethering app in the past and found that to be a frequent problem.

Glad you got it working. That's odd about the stock tethering not working right. I just came back from a business trip where I bluetooth tethered my Ipad the whole time and tethered to my work laptop (Windows 7 64 bit). The hotel wifi was so slow, I just tethered from my phone the whole time. Plus I couldn't VPN from the hotel wifi (I assume because I saved it as a public network and saved my tether as a private one - crazy security at work).

Thanks for confirming that Foxfi works.
The Foxfi description says it will work without ROOT - I'm not sure if that is just in bluetooth, or wifi too. Foxfi also mentions that you should use a proxy... I just change my DNS servers - not sure if that works to stop monitoring of traffic.
I haven't tried the DB hack, but I just read, in another post, that ICS and GB line number are different.

On the ICS 211 Verizon OTA it is # 150. If you've flashed a rom or are on another build, then it will be a different #. As long as you save the change and reboot your phone it will work. I've done this on multiple roms and other Motorola devices without any problems. I can only confirm this works on Verizon phones. What phone/carrier/build do you have?

Im on 211 but my entitlement_check is in 79 and i also cant change it to 0. An error 14 says that it is unable to open database file. Anyone know the solution?

Are you 100% sure that you're editing the correct file? Have you watched the YouTube video (link is in this thread)?
Ok, so I've tried everything that I could think of to get it working. Considering literally a month ago i provided the answer that solved someone else problem. lol
So i just had to get a replacement DNA, and I just finished rooting it, in the process of installing all my apps, and I come to my tethering app.
I have used Wifi Tether for Root Users in the past, and it has worked. Obviously with the settings:
Device-Profile: Generic ICS/JN (wlan0)
Setup-Method: Auto
WiFi-driver reload: Checked
Routing fix: Checked
But i can't see my Network being broadcast at all. I've tried restarting my phone, my computer, re-instlaling the app.
I double checked, it is receiving root privileges.
My next step is to re-install ViperDNA, but I really don't feel like doing that hopefully i don't have to.
Ok, ok ok, everyone point and laugh at the noob who forgot to flash the boot.img.
So i flashed the boot.img and it works now. *sigh* /WalkOfShame
Similar problem with WiFi Tether
I am having a similar problem with WiFi Tether. My DNA is unlocked and rooted with Superuser. When I try to tether I get errors. The only three things that show as done are "Loading WiFi driver", "Enabling IP forwarding", and "Tethering now running". All other items fail. All my settings are identical to the ones mentioned above. My computer will tether to the phone, but the internet won't work. 4G works on the phone and I can connect to other hotspots without any problem. One thing that I find odd is that Superuser asks for permission every time I start or stop tethering, even though I set it to remember. I'm not sure what's causing that, but Superuser seems to be working with Root Checker and the other apps that need it.
I also tried Barnacle without any success. Errors from Barnacle are "WIFI: Could not set ad-hoc mode of wlan0: Operation not permitted" and "Could not connect to NAT, will retry later". My computer can see the Barnacle network but it won't connect at all.
Does anyone have any suggestions to sort this out??? Thanks in advance for your help.
I got it sorted out. Just for future reference to anyone that runs into anything similar, I installed the CubeStock kernel and that didn't fix it, but I read somewhere that WiFi Tether doesn't play well with Superuser, so I installed SuperSU and it is running like a champ now.
I just installed the new Paranoid Android, and I cannot seem to get the Portable Hotspot to work. I was using the stock rom, and Verizon's 'Mobile Hotspot' worked flawlessly after using the SQLite hack. I have tried Barnacle and Wifi Tether for Root Users (which used to be my go-to, until it just stopped working after an update). I cannot get any of these to work, as Wifi Tether comes up with the error, 'Tethering started with errors, please check 'show log''. When I check the log, there is nothing in it.
Any ideas on what is going on here? It is almost as if there is a messed up driver somewhere, but I am not knowledgeable enough to figure it out. Like I said, I used to have it running perfectly one day, then it seemed like all of my tethering apps wouldn't work. I resorted to using the built in Mobile Hotspot, and it started working fine again.
Strange thing, I also paid for FoxFi, and even that wouldn't work, which I found very odd..

Yeah, literally everything else on the the phone works as new.
When I was having trouble with Wifi Tether for Root Users, Barnacle, and FoxFi, I tried a factory reset via the Droid Razr Utility and it didn't change a thing. One of the beta versions of Wifi Tether turned on with no errors, but I could not find the SSID once it was supposedly turned on. After using the stock Mobile Hotspot with the SQLite hack, it works perfectly. But, when I go to ParanoidAndroid, it uses a different type of 'Mobile Hotspot' app named 'Portable Hotspot', and it just gives me an error (but no details, justs says error under it and then greys itself out.

I had an issue with 3.69 Paranoidandriod and had to do the terminal emulator hack to get wifi to work and that also somehow fixed my tether. If you haven't yet also try to run a fix permission and see if that will take care of things. I will test mine (currently running 3.97 as well) and get back with you later to let you know what I found.
Just saw that there's an update to Paranoidandroid which is 3.98 and he posted that he fixed the wifi tethering. Try to update and see what that does for you. I tried to fix permission on versino 3.97 and it didn't help. I tried terminal emulator b/c my wifi stopped working and that did fix that issue.
I just loaded it up, and still nothing. Now, when I try to turn on the hotspot, it just keeps saying 'Turning hotspot on...' and doesn't change. I tried connecting and it still is nowhere to be seen.
Are there any instructions out there for the terminal hack method, or a way that worked for you?
