WI-FI hotspot tethering not working - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

Hi, I'm using an unlocked Samsung i777 outside the US. But the fact that wifi tethering is not working. Every time when I try to enable it, it says "mobile data not available or invalid sim".
3G/HSDPA connecton fine and SIMcard has a data plan and I can even use usb tethering.
How can I make it work? Phone is rooted.
I am using hellraised stock Rom XWLA4. When was UCKH7 also not working.
In system/app have 3 app wifi 1.0, wifi sharing 1.0, wifi sharing manager 1.0. I tried to freeze them, no luck.
Thanks.

Either wifi tethering is broken on XWLA4 (I haven't played with it myself yet), or something about the CSC or apns-conf.xml doesn't work with your carrier.
Hellraiser is designed under the assumption that only AT&T customers would subject themselves to the carrier-mangling of the I777 and as such, includes an AT&T-tuned CSC. There's a possibility that you need to remove all of the CSC files from the Hellraiser zip and wipe/reflash. It's either that or XWLA4 is busted.

Hahah lol...dud even I had exactly the same concern. Its not a big problem Jus download FoxFi from Android Market and voila! It will take away ur pain It enables the WiFi hotspot tethering like a charm without any problem. Its free..Jus type the above name in Android market and install. Then open the app and touch on Activate WiFi hotspot. Its done. Let me know bout it. TC.

Sory, not working! Showing "Fail to start Hotspot. Your phone is not yet supported by FoxFi".

Third-party tethering apps are not a solution unless there is no way to fix native tethering. Most of not all of them put the device into adhoc mode, which is incompatible with many devices.

I do agree, I have tried foxfi before but it will hang and force close uninstalled and reinstalled the app with same results. I have uninstalled tethering provision app on rooted stock ics but then again when I start the native wifi hotspot it just hang for several seconds the force close saying the application setting has stopped. Now I just remember installing this foxfi app again upon reading this thread and am now happy it works and I can now tether thru wifi hotspot with my phone. Having a solution to the native phone wifi hotspot though is pretty sweet. I don't know if the uninstalling of the tethering provision app has help but at least I have a functional wifi hotspot now.

I was searching for answers for my HotSpot problem and found this thread.....I'm piggy backing because it remains open even though maybe resolved - hope that is ok?
I couldn't seem to get my Hotspot to work and so I downloaded FoxFi. It seems to send a signal fine, and my iPad sees the SSID fine. My phone shows Connected: my mac address- duration - ipad's ip address but when I try to go to a web site my ipad show the following error dialog:
Cannot Open Page
Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet
Thoughts anyone?

Yer not asking us to help you trouble shoot something that isn't even running the Android operating system are you? Cause obviously that'd be silly to do in a forum like this. Does the tethering work with your computer? If so its a problem with the Apple product you're talking about and should be addressed in their forums.

Well, when i use my native Android Wi-Fi Hotspot the phone says it is an active hotspot and my iPad does connect, but I get the same error message when I try and browse the net:
Cannot Open Page
Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet
I would naturally prefer to use the native mode.....any help with that?
Thanks in advance

Now that we have permroot, wireless tether?

So now that we have permroot, is there a wireless tether app that works? I tried the one here:
http://www.jonamerica.com/technology/the-htc-rezound-root-guide/
But although it starts, I don't see the ssid on my laptop. I think perhaps infrastructure doesn't work with that. I'd prefer to avoid ad-hoc.
So has anyone had success with a particular market or apk for wireless tether?
Thanks in advance!

Ive tried a couple versions of the usual Wireless Tether.apk, but I still only get wep as an option. Trying to find a way to get WPA2 to work.
I am using "Wireless Tether for Root Users" V2.0-7 and its working perfectly. None of the newer beta versions have worked correctly for me so far..
It seems to work in ad-hoc mode only though... but it works fine for me. I'm not using WPA either, I just leave it open with access control turned on.
Barnacle
I'm using Barnacle Wireless Tether from the app store and it's working EXCELLENT. Even brings over the 4G speed but is also working in Ad-hoc mode.

Whats not working? The link or the app?
If its the link then try a differnet browser.
If its the app then make sure you go to settings and select MS Routing and Clamping. Something like that anyways...

No wifi modes work in infrastructure on the rezound is my understanding. Adhoc only.

Tried the following:
Old Wireless Tether
New Wireless Tether
Barnacle
None will work. No signal comes out at all. The data counter will get to like .4kB and just freeze.
Yea, but i read that new wireless tether beta app, the dev was wanting to get it where it can support infrastructure mode, but only a few phones would be worked on....idk if its still in the works or not...

Yeah, I had no issues at all with WiFi tether. It has worked on every single android device I have ever had. Optimus, Evo 4G, Evo 3D, and the Rezound. I have tried every single version he has made to boot! Never had any issues.
Could it be the device looking for the hook is not seeing it because its ad-hoc on here?

Some devices do and some dont detect ad-hoc networks. Until we get a custom kernel capable, and software to manipulate it, we're stuck with ad-hoc only, which works for like, 95% of devices that would need to connect to it.
Do iPads connect?

The kernel is plenty capable of infrastructure mode. I think its just the software.

[Q] wifi hotspot tethering not working on unlocked i777

Hi, so I'm currently using an unlocked Samsung i777 outside the US. I'm loving this phone except for the fact that wifi tethering is not working. Every time I try to enable it, it says mobile data not available or invalid sim.
I can use my sim's 3G/HSDPA connecton just fine and my sim has a data plan and I can even use tethering on other mobile phones so I'm assuming that AT&T locked down the wifi tethering or something. How can I make it work preferably without rooting since I managed to unlock this ohome without root?
If I do need to root, well what are the apps that I need to make wifi hotspot work? Thanks.

You need to root, and you actually need to REMOVE an app (TetheringManager2.apk) to make it work.
It's AT&T's bigbrotherware
I hope you're using a local Sim and not planning on tethering while roaming, that would be a heart attack inducing bill waiting for you when you come home!!

I have same problem. But i can not find app TetheringManager2.ark in system/app. Can you tell what i should do? Thanks.
cannot tether after rooting and renamed TetheringManager2.apk
the file is there... i am in the same boat as you are. i bought an used i777.
you need to root the phone first, personally, i used Root Manager and located the file and renamed it (instead of deleting it)
BUT.. i still cannot tether :-( still getting the mobile data is not available or invalid SIM.
can anyone offer some insight to this issue ?
---------- Post added at 01:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:23 AM ----------
i tried to rename the file to something else, but did not get tethering to work.
i was mad and DELETED the file i renamed altogether and u know what - tethering works !
so i guess you will have to root the phone, DELETE the file, then you can get tethering to work.
have fun.
In the op it states she does not have root. Therefor what she wants to do is not possible. U need root to access the file she needs to remove.

UCLE5 remove the tetheringmanager.apk,is not work,open the wifi hostpot,setting is FC,why?
remove tether provisional app wifi hotspot still do not work EDIT:hotspot now work
hello everyone,
as the title shows I have remove the tether provision app with super manager as I can't find the tethering manager apk stated on this thread. Maybe it is on the stock GB rom I'am running stock ICS rom rooted and running on latest siyah kernel. When I tried to open wifi hotspot it just sits there unresponsive for several seconds then says "settings application stop working". I am on vacation here in the Philippines and using the local sim cards available here I have data on my phone but I can't share it on my other devices as the wifi hotspot is not functioning. I have searched several sites and install several root tethering apps to no avail. Any guide or help is greatly appreciated. Thnx
edit: I have now a functional wifi hotspot. I have downloaded FoxFi App from the market and it works. I have installed uninstalled reinstalled this app several times before but hangs and force closes upon activating the wifi hotspot. I have uninstalled the tether provision app on the root folder with Root Uninstaller as stated above. I don't know if it helps but when reinstalling the FoxFi App again, wifi hotspot on my phone now works. Though I just want to share as me myself badly needed this as my phone is not that big enough on surfing the net. Activating the phones native wifi hotspot is pretty sweet though.
2nd Edit: Though I just want to make it simple and share for everyone to know how do I make my wifi hotstpot work on stock at&t ics rom. This is a very simple step to make and works only if you are rooted. I am not responsible if you do something wrong with your phone. This do works for me..This is a guideline only for anyone wanting to have a wifi hotspot tethering on their phone as in my case running on stock at&t ics.
1. Download and install Unistaller Root app (or any root file manager app) and FoxFi tethering app ( other app may also work) from the google play market.
2. Open Uninstaller Root App and allow it SU permission then open system apps.
3. Navigate thru it and uninstall tethering provision apk.
4. Open FoxFi Tethering app , wifi hotspot should now work. Enjoy..... Do not use the native wifi hotspot from your phone as it will not work.
FYI: As in my case FoxFi will not work if you still have the Tethering Provision Apk in your phone it will just hang and forced closes when opening the app.
Hope anybody running Stock ICS will find this useful. Have a Great day....

You must be rooted to obtain su permission. Also, if your signature is correct, you are in the wrong forum. This is the forum for Galaxy S2, and you have the S3.

[Q] VZW Mobile Hotspot Error

Hey there, two nights ago I contacted VZW and turned on my Mobile Hotspot service. My Rezound is rooted, but nothing beyond that. I tried to get it to connect to my Xoom, but the service on my phone wouldn't start. I did a battery pull, turned off WiFi and Bluetooth and nothing works. The service appears to start, but then the tick box unchecks itself and on the main network page is says "error". I've called VZW and they don't seem to know what the problem is. Is anyone who else who has recently rooted and is using the Hotspot having the same problem? Heck even if you haven't does anyone have any ideas what could be causing the problem? I've searched the forums and the web and have found numerous threads with Hotspot errors, but none are similar to the one I am having. Thanks.
I do not know how to fix the built in hotspot.... BUT if you're rooted, why on earth would you actually pay Verizon for the hotspot feature when you can use Wifi Tether for Root just fine for free??

its still worth paying because the rezound only broadcast in ad-hoc mode and lots of devices wont see your phone or even connect because of that...my verizon hotspot connects perfectly to my wii and when i use a tether application( used a variety of apps from market) they will see but wont connect because the wii doesnt support ad-hoc..so in summary keep your verizon hotspot.
also i have had problems with the hotspot after maybe an hour or less the data throughput will stop and the only way for it to function is for a restart of the phone..VZW and HTC say its a software bug and "should" be fixed in ICS i presume..i think your problem is either your phone or the kernel..have you flashed any kernels?? if not then i would suggest you run a RUU and see if that fixes things and if it doesnt i would get a replacement..Hope i helped.
I paid out of desperation truthfully. I tried four versions of Wireless Tether and none of them worked. I also didn't want to pay my hotels $12 a night internet fee so it was a cheaper option for my week away from home. I tried some market apps with no luck too. Maybe the RUU is the way to go. It did work when I first got it, must've been a free period or something. Haven't tried it since til after I rooted. But I've not modified it in any way other than root.
I use the wifi-tether just fine,
I noticed when I had originally disabled the TetheringGuard apk it didn't startup right at all (would flicker, as you said),
I reenabled the tetheringguard that came on the phone and it worked great.
both wifi' and usb tethered.
good luck!
OK, I tried OpenGarden again and sort of got it to work. I can connect my work phone to it fine, but not my Xoom or laptop. I still cannot get Mobile Hotspots to work which is OK if I can figure out OpenGarden with my other devices. Any advice? By the way,hanks for the help so far.
Well, some more searching I found I needed the WPA supplicant file for my Xoom. Now that works too. Now if I can just get the laptop to be able to obtain an IP address I'll be set.

If it's a work laptop it might require wireless encryption which if I remember correctly doesn't work on the Rezound yet. Try USB tethering for that. Barnacle can do both. On a similar not, if you're using the latest and greatest wifi tether, check mss clamping and routing fix and it should work on the Rezound...just was using mine to my Ubuntu laptop this morning.
I DELETED TetheringGuard.apk and use Wifi Tether just fine on my phone. Thats really weird.. perhaps it wasn't properly frozen or something?
I use "Routing Fix" to make it work. "MSS Clamping" seems to have no affect one way or the other. Does anybody know what mss clamping means?

I don't know that MSS Clamping is the fix so much as the routing fix is. MSS Clamping fix I believe refers to MTU Discovery issues. I won't get into it but suffice it to say that checking the box is never a bad idea.

Wifi tether which is the same app(probably different version). Wifi tether version 2.0.7 just works. Anything beyond that need the aforementioned "fixes" enabled.

Grab a file explorer (ES, Root, Astro) and check that tetheringguard.apk is still sitting in /system/app. That symptom is typical of when tetheringguard is disabled or removed.
I don't know what those settings are, but I know where they are. They are not in those two applications that you mentioned. They are settings in the Wireless Tether application for android. Google Wireless Tether for Android and its the top link. The explanation forbwhay those two settings are may be there as well.

Hacked Sprint Hotspot No Internet Connection

I'm on the newest sense rom from Captain Throwback but this has been happening to me since I was back on MeanBean. I can turn my Hotpot on and I get no errors and I can connect with my laptop, tablet, and desktop. On each of these devices, they connect just fine, but there is no Internet Connection. I have tried absolutely everything, Changing security settings, changing SSID, changing password, changing advanced settings, and trying the hacks below.
I've even tried the fix here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2509613&page=2
I've even tried removing and adding all the build prop edits from MeanBean
This used to work no problem and I cannot pinpoint when it stopped working. I'm guessing it has something to do in my MSID settings or something on the cellular level. I don't think it is a hardware issue because I got WifiTether for root users to work.
Please any help would be awesome. I've literally tried everything
Please don't recommend me to use WIFI Tether. I'm not a fan of that app and my stock app should be working.
There is an updated hack recently posted in my thread - did you try that?
And technically, unless you have a tethering plan, it shouldn't be working, so you may want to think about that statement a bit.

I understand all that but I figured it you didn't have it on your plan, the error 69 would come up when trying to start it. I thought when is was hacked, Sprint wouldn't be able to see how your data was being used. On second hand, I do use a great deal of data so maybe I was flagged. Yes I did try the latest hotspot hack but I will flash again.
Ya nothing happened when I flashed the hotspot hack. This is just so weird. Any other suggestions would be awesome. I think this all started when I flashed the 3.17 firmware. I almost want to try flashing it again but I will have to unlock my bootloader again.
Ok so I've been doing a lot of testing and I've figured something out. When I drop the Network Mode to CDMA only, the hotspot works just fine. Does anybody else have problems with the hotspot when you are in LTE/CDMA mode with the stock app? I remember this being a problem way way back but I thought it was fixed or at least the app would only use CDMA data.
Yes. I had this same issue. Iptables isn't playing nice. I recommend JB Wifi Tether, it's been working flawlessly.

Have you found anything around the web to fix this? I can't call into Sprint and complain obviously.
What does the JB Wifi Tether app do? It seems to replace some things within the IPtables. Is there some way to create a script to do this automatically on a reboot so i can delete the app? Can I delete jtether once a run it once?
I personally want to try this script.

I'll give it a shot and let you know.
This guy here also has something going. Basically I want to be able to select it from my quick setting and not have to open the app every time.

So JB Wifi Tether works great. Just kinda suck you have to open an app to get tethering working. Anybody know of any scripts for the iptables that work at bootup?

to me, that seems like a great fix.

lollipop wifi tether help

Flashed 5.0.1. Thanks stooges! Everything seems great but i cant get my tether to work. Does anyone have tether working on 5.0.1? If so what is settings? Thanks.
That maybe a bug I have it to and I can't get anything but here is a app that will give you free and unlimited tethering: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.snclab.wifitetherrouter&hl=en
Trust me when I say the price is worth it just do the settings he recommends:
For LG G3 using this config
Interface wlan0
Method 2
Channel 1
Encryption wpa2-psk
"No Firmware Reload" <- UNCHECKED
if not work
Interface wlan0
Method 3 - HostApd
Encryption wpa2-psk
Channel 1
Drivers nl80211
"HostApd Patch" <- UNCHECHED
Thanks goes to creator

Same problem here, suing wifi tether router. My devices can't even see my phone. Perhaps the app might need an update. Has anyone found a solution since the lollipop update?
No luck!

Same for me. I've tried both sets of settings with no luck. Worked great until I flashed Lollipop last night.
apn method
Still no tether for me. I understand the apn method works for native hotspot although i cant confirm or get it working myself. This is a lollipop deal breaker for me as this is my only internet access. I have been rumming barepop but think im going to flash clean stock and try apn method 1 more time. If no luck i going back to zv6.
The hotspot hack works. Make sure you're saving the apn when you do it. And do it to both.
I can't get WiFi tether router to work either.
If you do the apn thing go to my unlock post and look in the apn setting I have a hack that may work.
Also sorry about the app not working I tried

Does the apn hack work on 3g? This is the only reason i can come up with for why i cant get it to work. Im on lte/cdma. Follow instructions exactly. When i turn on hotspot, 3g turns off then hotspot turns off. Then error pops up saying something network error then popul about info for hotspot subscription. Ive gone to youtube to watch method. Its easy idk what im missing.

I don't think that's an issue. But maybe.
I'm on the fringe of LTE so my signal bounces back and forth between LTE and 3G.
Theres a link in the top of the OP of the Hotspot hack I made. It's in the International thread on the same thing apparently. You might get some more help from there.

I tried this on the wifes phone to see if it was my phone. I cant get it to work on hers either. Is it possible for someone to get the hack working on stock zv8 and save it and post it for download? I know im asking for a lot but idk what else to do

I don't either. I've done everything in the video exactly. Someone a few posts up said "make sure you do it to both". What does both mean? They only add ",dun" to one thing in the video.

If you don't have the options in MORE go to your Mobil data area make sure you switch to global and see if they show up then. There was a discussion about why some people care missing those options in the settings on another thread just can't remember now where, it might have been in the ZV8 stock rom thread.

I reinstalled the ROM and wiped everything just like that post said, and still didn't see any tether options. It wasn't until I did the ##RTN# on my dailer using my MSL number that it finally worked. So thank you for pointing me to that post.
Any progress on getting this to work? I have the sprint G3 rooted with the original rom but still having the data teathering error. I tried doing the shortcuts trick but it didnt work with the lite version.
Nevermind I got mine to work now. Took a couple reboots but the shortcuts method worked.
