I see alot of people commenting that wifi tether doesn't work, or its incompatible with the stock kernel. Well I just wanted to post exactly how I got it to work.
How I got it running......
1. Get temp root by one of the methods in the forum. (I personally used Tilde88's method from the " yes another rootme thread in the dev section"
2. Download the wifi tether apk from the root/FAQ thread.
3. In the settings change profile to desire (cdma)
4. In settings apply check to box to fix HTC routing.
Wifi tether should restart and you should be in business. Thats all i did and I can stop and start it and the tether continues to connect to the internet. Hope this helps somebody.
EDIT. Thanks to quinxy....I forgot to mention the wifi tether will tell you that you don't have root, but proceed anyway when it ask's for superuser access. Not sure why it does that, but the app will work regardless.

ECELLENT... THIS is how i got my tethering to work also except i used a different root method..
i used the easy root script tp temp root, then just installed wireless tether pre14, works perfect for me.
Also got barnacle wifi to work after using the perma temp root. no special config needed. But will try wifi tether now since it had epa support.

google search is my friend, lol, first thing i did this morning to be exact .
You might want to update the first post to let people know that even if the WiFi Tether warns you on start that you're not root, and you know you are, it's ok, just proceed and start the tether. The SU app will then ask for super user permission. I spent 30 minutes trying to figure out why WiFi Tether didn't think I was root! I'd just bail out without trying to start tethering, since I thought it'd be pointless (since the app warning says it will!).

yes should be in q&a, but wireless tether doesnt work because the stock kernel does not support it. you will need to wait until someone releases a custom kernel with support for wireless tether

Yeah wireless tether is not working on my Evo 3D either. Seems to be it can't/doesn't have access to the onboard wifi manager.
I've been using barnacle and while it does work, occasionally I do get some errors about starting the wifi interface and have to restart the connection. :?
use this one: 3.1-beta2
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
once installed go to settings and check the box for Routing fix (HTC phones)
I can't get it to load pages while on 3G. I've also tried enabling the MSS Clamping option, with no effect.
also, when trying to access the Google Code page for Wireless Tether from my phone, I get a Google page with error 500, while I have no problems on my PC. anybody else seen this?
thanks!
Anyone find a version of wireless tether that works? The beta above worked seemingly, but my laptop wouldn't connect with internet.
Can confirm that 3.1 beta 2 works. need to select the check box for HTC phones.

I'm using CLEANRom 1.0. The laptop connects to the android tether, but it won't get any internet. ANyone else have this issue? YEs, I checked the box for HTC phone.
I have noticed that ever since I rooted my Thunderbolt I cannot tether. All devices will connect to my phone(other phones, computers, xbox, etc) but they cannot open a web browser. It used to work on the hotspot ap that came with the phone. The only thing I can think of is that on the stock app, I could change the security to wpa/wpa2/wep. On this new app I cannot change, am I grasping at something that isnt there or is there something else that needs to be done?
help me pleas,e, my neighbors internet wont be there forever. , .
I've been rooted for some time and it may be coincidence but sense the last 4g outage last week my tethering has "limited access" wired or wireless. I'm using liquid 3.0.2 built in wired/wireless hotspot. wifi apps I've installed don't work either now??? Help

I noticed that the android wifi tether app states that it only works for 3G and 2G. I wonder if this is just a "canned" statement? Does anyone know, for sure, if it works for 4G tethering?
Yeah I did, neither the old or new one are getting more than limited access. Know idea what may have changed on the PC side? Nothing new or changed? Just the outrage on Verizons end last week. I'm baffled. I have tried a couple other Rome with the same results. Sucks pdanet is a third of the speed.
There's a bug with CM7 if your using it, I'm having the same problem. I have a none stock kernel with it but I can't using wifi-tether or the built in tether. Makes me want to switch to my sense ROM. :/

If you're running CM7 set your built in tethering to OPEN for security and run this version of wireless tether use the same name as the built in one and it'll work. I finally got it working a few minutes ago.
Thanks will give it a try when I get home.

I definitely want to thank your first and foremost whether this works or not. I thank you for your time. Secondly, 20gb a month? heheh I doubt ive ever hit that mark. This is my work phone specifically used for email and data and very little calls, I primarily use my personal phone samsung galaxy s2 for calls and text... but last I checked on mytmobile the most ive used in 4 years is 1.7gb lol and thats heavy for me hahaha. ty ty again.
I know I don't have a thunderbolt but the same issue appears on the droid incredible 2. I found a fix and posted it here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583816
For some strange reason the cm team left out the two modules that activate WiFi and that's why you get that error.

What version of wireless tether are you using? The fix I posted was for v2.0.7. I have never had any kicking getting the beta builds to work.
Update: I just realized that I have dun disabled on my phone. Im not 100% sure but that may have something to do with why it works for me but not for you.

I think I might have to try infected eternity, I have not yet tried that. To my knowledge I believed I have flashed the latest radio (MR4).
Infected Eternity Rom installed, going to test the tethering now.
When i select the hotspot tethering and try to enable it just unchecks itself, I am running the latest MR4 radio and build 248 of the infected eternity rom. Guess im just not suppose to have this feature at all Thanks for everyone that has helped its truly appreciated.
I had some issues with different ROMs as well well getting wifi tether to work, but here is what I have which currently works:
a. Thundershed 1.5
b. IMO Lean Kernel 6.1 for AOSP
c. Latest Radio from 2.11.605.19
d. wireless tether 2.0.7
- Be sure to check the Routing Fix in Settings
When I start up Wifi Tether it brings up "Tethering or hotspot Active" in the status bar from the built-in hotspot, but that doesn't seem to affect wifi tether.
Also, when I first set it up I started it, let it setup the binaries and get superuser permission, then I stopped it, let it do whatever, then started it again.
I can connect without issue now. I hope this helps in some way.
I just got my thunderbolt today so maybe tomorrow I can look into it more for anyone interested and come up with a fix maybe. I haven't had a chance to get root but ill have time tomorrow.

Thank you so much ! I look towards your support.
hello I'm new to all the rooting and installing custom roms I am about to buy an htc rezound but was wondering if the roms that are posted on the rezound Android Development page already come with the wifi hack or will I have to do something else to get the free wifi tether THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP
Most come with a wifi tether app, ones i know of are Nils Business Sense and Rezrom( I think Scott's Cleanrom also). It takes a couple extra steps to get working-
Change device profile to Galaxy Nexus LTE & checkmark routing fix. Enable & disable, allowing root both times.
EDIT:
Oh btw, we just got s-off, you're joining up just at the right time.

No. The wifi Tether app allows the User to bypass verizons tether charge. but if you are on a capped plan, it will still use your Data.

I've ran into an issue with it. I am on Rezrom Ex 3.4 ICS.
My issue is: With galaxy nexus LTE selected, wifi tether starts without errors, however my wifi interface starts to have issues. I installed the latest version of wifi tether, 3.1 beta 14 and using the generic ICS device profile it seems like it is going to work, however then it gives the message "Device has taken back control of wifi interface" or something to that effect. If anyone knows a fix for this I'd really like to know what to do. Dont really want to have to load a new rom just to get this working so I can tether my new nexus 7.
Anyway it seems there aren't many people having this problem (that i have found anyway) if I find a solution ill post with info.
Found thread with fixes. If your having this issue or any others try the steps here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1540707

It usually isn't an apk that can be taken out. It's buried deep in the framework.
