Finally took the plunge and rooted on GB. Downloaded wireless tethering app and installing it, upon opening app I get error message "No Access Control! Sorry, but your kernel does not have all necessary features for the Access Control feature of this application. Access control will be disabled". I uninstalled and reinstall, rebooted my phone each time and still same message. Anyone have this problem? Thanks,
Access Control
I think you would have to be using a kernel that has Netfilter fully enabled. It should still let you tether you just can't control who has access to your network (without using WEP or WPA encryption)
Assume you are using WiFi tether? I get same message.
Barnacle works fine for me in 4.5.91.
Beamed from WinBorg 4G via XDA Premium
I'm having the same issue, and I think it's because I upgraded to a ROM (DarkSide 3.1) using system software 4.5.133 instead of the old 4.5.91 (Darkside 1.5 had this, worked fine).
Did you guys read the FAQ?
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/wiki/FAQ
"Why does the "access-control"-feature not work or is disabled.
If the kernel-feature "CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_MAC" is missing the "access control"-feature will not work correctly (you will see a "failed"-status in "Show log" for "Enabling access control")."

I tried that too... still an alternative, but I am losing WPA encryption for WEP+MAC address control list. I am using Barnacle at the moment w/ WEP+MAC address control. It's not like I use tether a lot anyways, it's just when I need to for my iPad or laptop.

It's been about two weeks, still can't tether! I've tried every wifi tether app I can download, every beta in the googlecode directory. I am rooted, I have checked. I have two more weeks, then I'll go back to my palm pre and not have problems. Tether is the one must have. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
Get the "root checker" app from the market, run it.
VERIFY that you are rooted....then try wireless tether 3.0 or above.
I am having the same problem - continually get an error with the Wireless tether app when installed saying that access is not granted.
I have run root checker and it says I'm rooted. I try to connect and it just never seems to connect - and then my wireless connection on my laptop has to be turned off and then back on to function at all - its like the ad-hoc network just doesn't want to work on my phone. I have also tried various other tethering applications to no avail.

thanks, that's one of the first things I did, just to be sure. I have tried each of the betas, including the latest (beta5) that just came out. I have tried tethering to my laptop (win7), my touchpad, and my hackintosh dual boot, both the windows 7 and osx side. None of them can connect. Whenever I start the wifi tether app, I do get the Access control denied error, but I assume everyone is getting that due to the kernel?
Make sure you guys have the superuser app installed. You can get it in the market.
Already installed.
From what I've read on support pages of tether apps, they haven't included the drivers for the Photon so rooted devices will only give you adhoc tethering. Some devices can't make an adhoc connection, such as android tablets.
Makes sense to me. I'm new to Android, is this something (the drivers) that will eventually be incorporated into the various wifi tether applications as the phone is "out" longer?

It's not always the case. It's completely up to the developers of those apps to. There are plenty of phones that have been out much longer than the Photon that aren't yet supported.

I have unlocked, rooted, flashed the CleanROM ICSE 3.6 from scrosler, and have also been able to overclock my Rezound with SebastianFM's kernel. Everything is working great. The only problem is that I can't get the Mobile Hotspot to work; both the built-in VZW app and the WiFi Tether app that was integrated into the ROM fail to emit a wifi signal for my laptop.
On the VZW Mobile Hotspot app, when I tick the checkbox to turn it on, it'll say "processing..." for about 20 seconds and then un-tick the check mark.
On the Wireless Tether app, I am able to turn it on but once started, a message pops up saying "Tethering started with errors! Please check show log."
I had this same problem a couple months ago when I temp rooted my phone, but a hard reset and un-root did the trick and MHS was working again. However, this is a perm root and flash, so I can't use the same resolution. A hard reset isn't working.
I have the $30 Mobile Hotspot feature added to my plan, so actually paying for it isn't the problem. I'd actually prefer the VZW app to work. Can anybody help me out?
edit: Just saw some threads from people who have already posted this question. Searched the Development forum but didn't think to search here! Sorry!

The trick with the Wireless Tether app is to make sure that you have the settings correct. You may have found this answer already else where but here it is again.
You need to set the Device-Profile to Samsung Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE)
Change Setup-Method to Netd (master)
Check the Routing Fix box
The rest of the settings are up to you.
These settings are described in the developer's first post under the Wireless Tether section found here.
I ran across those settings last night. They did help, as my laptop was able to detect AndroidTether and there were no errors on Wifi Tether on my phone. However, when trying to connect, it gets stuck at Limited Access or No Network Access on my laptop. I tried changing properties on the laptop from security type to encryption type, but didn't seem to help.
Any advice? Like I said, I really do not mind paying $30 for the capability for the Mobile Hotspot, I just need it working again for school! Something about rooting the Rezound blocks the capability of the tick box staying checked after processing.
I'm gonna try to flash another ICS Rom and see if it helps. I'll update afterwards.
EDIT: Got it working by reflashing without the overclock kernel!
I've heard that Foxfi doesn't work with the Droid DNA--is there any way to use turn this device into a mobile hotspot without having it pre-included in my data plan?
This is my first smartphone; I've been using my Nexus 7 and a dumb phone for the past few months now, and I felt I should upgrade to a smartphone since I'm not living on campus anymore. This seems like a great phone in and of itself, but I'd still like the option to tether my tablet. Any suggestions?
As long as you are rooted, you can use WiFi Tether For Root Users (yellow WiFi bars picture) and it will tether just fine. You won't need to include tethering in a data plan to use it.

Yeah but that's one more app running in the background. If you have that feature built in the os why not run the native app IF it works? That's why I'm asking... does it work?

It only runs in the background if you have it turned on and you are using it, just like any stock app.
Wow....I cant seem to get wifi tether working. Have all the settings checked properly. Wlan0, routing fix, auto,....It starts with errors. Looking at the log all are red but three. Any suggestions?.....and no i cant use built in app....unlimited data i have...thanks in advance...

I am seeing exactly the same issue. Numerous errors on starting, unable to tether. Or more precisely, other devices can see the hotspot and tether to it, but do not get Internet access.
My main problem is that my phone will show up as a device instead of a router (like it used to on my OG Incredible), thus not allowing other phones or tablets to connect to it because they don't see the connection. Laptops work find though. I use "wireless tether for root users" with the green signal symbol and not the newer version because the new one doesn't show the data speeds and total data used in the app.
I am using the latest yellow version and both my Galaxy Note and Lenovo laptop tether to it but do not get Internet access.
sorry for jumping on old post.
Just wondering. On my moto droidbrazr maxxbi did an sqlight hack to bypass the entitlement check and was able to use the stock hotspot app even though i was on unlimited data. Would a similar work around work for dna?

LOL for anyone still using the DNA, I just installed NuSense Six and FoxFi works perfectly - not ad-hoc, full infrastructure mode, so it will work with devices other than PCs.

I'm using all stock roms (I was s-off and flashed stock recovery, grabbed OTAs, flashed TWRP recovery). I installed SuperSU & BusyBox than was able to tether using Barnacle Wifi Tether~ it gave me an error for adhoc but I was able to click associate and use my 4g on an iPad.(Also checked external IPs & ran speedtests to confirm it was using 4G)
Not working for me. It gets stuck at "please wait while starting". And just spins. I can back out of it but nothing good happens.
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?
Hey I just reverted back to stock from Cherish OS, kept having way too many issues with the ROM rebooting or just freezing. I managed to get hotspot working on Cherish by editing the build prop to include:
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
then pushing adb shell: settings put global tether_dun_required 0
Was working fine minus the crashes.
Now going back to stock I havnt had any unexpected crashes but I cannot seem to get the tethering to work anymore using magiskhide prop config. Does anyone know what else needs to be done to get wifi tethering working again? It looks like the DUN APN setting on my custom APN does not stick around after saving it, I dont know if it was enabled on Cherish OS somehow or what the difference between the two set ups would realistically be.

Solution Provided by lentm:
"If you're rooted, try using VPN Hotspot: https://github.com/Mygod/VPNHotspot/releases"
Just enabled wlan0.
Still looking for a solution, If someone can point me to where I might need to start to resolve this I would appreciate it.
Ex; does it need a custom keneral? or Radio?
What is the limiting factor, that doesnt allow the connected device to get internet?
If you're rooted, try using VPN Hotspot: https://github.com/Mygod/VPNHotspot/releases
I can confirm the linked app works and replicates the built in Wifi Hotspot feature. I have it running on a T Mobile, bootloader unlocked, rooted, stock firmware, and on Android 11. Worked with my desktop, other phone, and Smart TV. I do not have it as a part of my plan. No VPN, port, or other nonsense to setup on the client to get it working. Just put in the WiFi spot password and off you go!.
Thanks for the link! I was never able to find a way to get the built in one working with out an app of some kind. I have no idea what would be needed to patch the factory hotspot to get it working without an app.

Great. BTW, I think the reason why it's recommended to use with the VPN (such as AdGuard) is to hide the tether usage.
I was a bit skeptical, but after I enabled the wlan0 toggle it worked! thank you soo much I have been struggling with this for a while.

Something to note here I wasn't using Adguard and had no issues with the hotspot vpn app. I wasn't using the "Temporary Hotspot" toggle in the app either. Using the wlan0 option gave me Internet on any device I tried while on T Mobile service / Towers. I went out of town and I'm now roaming on US Cellular indicated on my notification bar. This hotspot method stopped working for me. I could connect to the hotspot but no internet. After some research I found using Adguard does resolves this as you mentioned. In the VPN hotspot app you must choose "tun0" as the upstream interface.
