These instructions should work. Just be sure that for #1, you scroll down to the SAMSUNG GALAXY NEXUS (4G_LTE). For some reason, I chose the Google NexusOne (I saw the word nexus and thought it was the right one) at the top of the list and didnt realize that was the wrong one. Once I fixed that, everything worked like a charm! Hope this helps.

now is this for being on a ROM or will it work on stock unlocked as well...
Edit: i finally got it to turn on with no errors, will be testing on my PC when i get home
Now when i go to use it with my PC its just like any wifi connection right? I refreshed the available networks on my.PC and it would.not find it at all.. am i missing something
Is it a windows PC that you are trying to attach to it? Does the tether start up with any errors in the log?
You should be able to see it just like any other router in your list of available networks.
Edit: Just noticed you said it started with no errors. Hmm.
It should just show up in your available networks.
Try manually creating a connection to your ssid (forgot the exact steps to do this, but its somewhere in network settings).
Also, try changing the setup method to the other available methods (ad-hoc, netd)

I am running ICS 3.5 from Scotts, I can not get Tethering to work. I have tried everything listed. I have tried several ICS Roms and it hasnt worked on any of them. The only time it worked for me was right after I unlocked and rooted on the oem rom with barnacle. Since then it has not worked at all. Wifi isnt working either in ICS 3.5 for me. It is stuck on "turning on". Easytether (USB) is working like a charm though. However I would really like wireless tether. I am coming over to the rezound because i lost my thunderbolt. I want to make sure this phone will do all that my rooted Tbolt would before my 14 days are up... that phone was .. OMG AWSOME. If I cant get it to match up to my old Tbolt in useability, I will go back to another Tbolt.
I am thinking that tomorrow I may try learning how to deal with mainver issues and stepping down to RUU_Vigor_VERIZON_WWE_1.02.605.6_Radio_RS_0.95.00.1013r_3161E_9K_NV_8k_1.12_9k_1.83_V_APT_release_221502_signed
Seeing if I can get it working on that, make a backup, then go clean back to an ICS build.
Any suggestions?

srivkin's instructions should work. Be sure to follow them to the T. Also, have you tried different versions of the tether app?
I thought that encryption didn't work with the tether app.
I relocked and reverted back to that RUU I mentioned in the above post this morning, after running the mainver fix. I unlocked, reflashed ra recovery, rooted, uninstalled some VZW bloat and the vzw tether blocker. installed wifi tether and it still wouldnt work, installed barnacle and it works...but it is so slow it is useless really. Easytether still works great. I already miss ICS. I will re-port a clean ICS onto it later this afternoon after ive had time to build out this base one and back up an image of it. I will repost with any progress.
BTW, I tried all of the settings you guys have mentioned and it just isnt hitting it for me, not sure whats up with that, but I will know more maybe after I put ICS back on clean and try it out.

Edit: would i be able to do a factory reset to see if it fixes the WIFI issue, i am on stock rooted with amonra, or would i have to do a wipe thru amonra?
ok i finally made the jump to scotts ics rom and everything is working fine... thank you guys for all your information

You actually don't need a file manager to install just download it from your slide and it will ask if you want to install after it is done loading to your memory card.(Of course you need ROOT and su permission) Thanks!

Huh? The wifi tether app creates an access point that any wifi-capable device can connect to. And as [most, if not all] Android handsets have wifi capabilities they should be able to join that access point to snag the wireless connection.

Yeah I've tried tethering on my own MT3GS and connecting to it via my sister's MT3GS and the network doesn't show up.
thanks for checking. I hope they find away to do it on ours soon.
Ok, when I try to install while on my phone it says there is a problem parsing the package... ?
NM, it was the wrong APK that had the same name, just ._ at the beginning that I was trying.
By the way, thanks for the app (OP and peeps who made it).
On my MT3GS it is working great! Also running the Teamslide Nonsense ROM, just put the apk on the sdcard and installed.
I'm on OSX and it doesn't actually show up as a network, it shows up as a p2p connection. Not sure if that would make a difference for people that might be having trouble, but basically if you get the app installed and the tether started, it might just be computer settings.

You can always find the most recent version of Android Wifi Tether at: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether. The most current version is 2.0.5-pre8 as of this post. Use that, not the one in this thread's original post!

Has anyone else noticed the wifi tether breaking on eugenes rc6 and teamslide1.71 after flashing the dopio kernel? Cyanogen rc1 seems to reboot on all. It seems like all ROMs that have modified kernel's have caused wifi tether to not work. I am running CR's Full OTA with wifi tether working. After flashing any dopio kernel the thether no longer works (I have tried 2_0_5 pre3, 7 and 8).
I just updated my girlfriend's 3G Slide to the latest CM build (6.0.0) and Wifi Tether is causing reboots for her as well. My Google-fu is wearing thin.
I tried the built in USB tethering as well and regardless of the driver I use once USB tethering is turned on it can't find the driver.
Not sure if it's connected.
Same driver issue is happening with PDANet, on 2 laptops. One running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, the other running Vista Home Premium 32 bit.
This big issue is with WifiTether rebooting the phone. Hopefully someone can come up with a fix for it.
(I've also tried every version of WifiTether as well, happens with each version no matter what.)
I flashed Scott's Cleanrom ICS 4.2 and followed his instructions for the wireless tether.
When I go through all of that shouldn't I be able to go online with my laptop through the wireless tether on the phone? When I go into the available wifi networks my phone doesn't show up on the list.
Am I not understanding how this works?
Thanks-Dan
C'Mon guys, help a brotha out. 175+ views and no replies?
Thanks-Dan
Well, the answer is.... yes, probably. I'm not running that ROM at the moment, but ICS gave us the ability to tether in infrastructure mode, rather than merely ad hoc.
Having said that, there are variables out there that may be causing the issues you are having. I'm sure you have double-checked the settings and have set up wireless tether per Scott's instructions. So, here are your options (IMHO):
1) Try to find another tether app (such as Barnacle) to see if that might work.
2) Try to find an updated or different version of WiFi Tether.
3) Try the many different settings in WiFi Tether to see if they work for you.
4) Try a different ICS ROM to see if it works for you. (RezROM ICS does work for me)
5) Pay for Verizon's Hot Spot.
Good luck!
Thanks for the reply. I will triple-check all the settings again and go from there.

Next click on wifiteather.
Next click on wifi_teather_v3_0-pre14.apk
Close to the bottom of the page will be a Download Here link click on it.
If your using a PC place it on the root of the sd card if your using your phone make sure unknown sources is checked in the settings>applications menu.
Next go to the market and download and install apk installer.
Open apk installer on your phone and click on <ext_sd>
Next click on wifi_teather_v3_0-pre14.apk and click install.
After it installs click open and go to the menu sceen.
Go to settings and check Routing fix.
Next click on the access control and press on enable.
next click on the main screen to start wifi tether and click allow access from superuser.
Now check your wifi on your computer Android Tether should come up click connect.
Now on your phone go back to access control and your computer name should come up.
Click on your computer name and click apply on the bottom of the screen.
This sounds like a lot but it works.
Thanks guys, I had to rename the network and set the security. I thought I could just leave it unsecured but I guess not. It works now...
Thats good I never had to do that. But that is the only reason why I rooted my phone was for the wifi tether.
But ...
... Do any these options allow other mobile devices to see your hotspot? I'm running stock on my rooted Rezound. I tried WiFi / Wireless Tether, Barnacle, Open Garden, etc ... They let my laptop connect, but not mobile devices. I actually like Sense, and I don't really want to bother with other ROMs right now ...
Any ideas?

The only two ways I was able to achieve wireless tether with infracture mode was to buy the vzw hotspot feature and / or install an ICS ROM. I can attest that RezROM ICS handles the free wireless tether app flawlessly for me (after which I killed the VZW premium service).
Hello everyone, I am new to posting in XDA. I am not new to using all of your great roms though. (BIG thanks to all the dev here)
Just got my Rezound, coming from the int1. I am vary excited to use my new 4G and abuse my unlimited data. I can't seem to get any wifi tethering working.
I am currently running RezRom 1.6 with kernal 2.6.35.13-gf1031dc (is this stock kernal).
I have tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1540707 it did give the the rezound option thin the profile but had error on starting. I would post there but I am a noob and can't.
More info,
I change the profile to "Samsung Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE)"
I Set Startup-Method to "Netd(master)"
I Check Routing fix:true
All Logs show green,
But my Prime never see the SSID
Take along time to start the tether. once it does start download and upload are both 0.0. I remember on the int1 once the tethering start they would jump a kb or two
Those are the instructions for Wifi Tether if you're using one of the ICS roms. The instructions for GB roms are:
Start Application
Go to Settings
Select Routing Fix and MSS CLamping
Start Tether and Allow Root
Cleanrom 1.7.5 is also available in the archived sections of Scott's web page and is the latest update that is GB based. Hope this helps.
Well I thought I was on to something. I now can see the SSID on my prime but all it does is save the network it does not connect. I still don't see the download/upload move at all. I will download Cleanrom 1.7.5 and see what happens.

Tried that, it's in the original post. I did the easy step 2 process and yes I uninstalled the old one.
call me stupid, but it might be verizon's network. i haven't been able to tether on my iphone, and my friend's droid seems like it doesn't tether anymore (he was able to last year). i have to rely on my friend's sprint htc evo when the school's internet is down at times.
My wife int1 still work, and she like to point this out. "So you can't get tethering to work on our new phone... oh that to bad."
I am having no luck, does anybody have any ideas?
I tried the advanced fix as well as the easy fix to no avail.
I'm using CleanROM Tapped Edition: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1586500
I am on stock firmware with Joel's firmware patch: http://www.androidfilehost.com/main/...mppl-patch.zip
I can see the access point but I can't get anything to connect.
I tried both the wifi_tether_v3_1-beta12RZ.apk and wifi_tether_v3_1-beta11b2-Rezound.apk.
I removed any trace of wifi tether before trying the above versions.
In settings, I tried:
HTC Rezound GB, Samsung Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE), Google NexusOne
Netd (master)
router fix
(CANNOT find MSS Clamping in either version of WifiTether)
Note that in the OP has directions-- 4. Replace (existing) fw_bcm4330_apsta.bin with fw_bcm4330b2_apsta.bin in /etc/firmware
Well, there is no fw_bcm4330b2_apsta.bin or fw_bcm4330_apsta.bin. I renamed fw_bcm4330_apsta_b2.bin to fw_bcm4330_apsta.bin, that didn't work.
I pulled the fw_bcm4330_apsta.bin from each of ZIP fix files in the OP (and tried each version of wifitether on each firmware file), that didn't work.
I compared the firmware folder of the CleanROM tapped edition to BAMF Senseless Preview 2, and they appear identical.
No matter what, I always see the AP, but it won't connect.
I'm about out of ideas.
MSS Clamping was integrated into Wifi tether at some point so don't worry about that option. I'm tethering with ICS no problem and have been for quite some time. I'm not saying that everyone should, but ICS works.
I did not get tethering working on any GB rom, I did get it working on RezROM Ex 3.4, it is a ICS with Sense 3.6, running the old frameware. I still have a little lag with this rom so I am going to try Scotty's roms today.
First of all, sorry if this has been posted.
I just flashed the ICS meanROM yesterday and quickly realized the Wireless Tether did not work.....only the HotSpot worked on it would kick me off of 4G. I did some research and realized that this was a problem being experienced by many.
I came across a thread here on XDA on the Samsung forums and decided to try it out. What do you know? I have wireless tether working on my phone on 4G. Please note I am running meanROM, but supposedly, this works on all ICS roms. Apparently on our phones, if you set the device profile as an Evo 3D, it does not work properly. I take no credit for this, I got it from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1522867
1) Download and install wireless tether from the market.
2) Set the device profile as "Samsung Galaxy Nexus CDMA" or "Generic ICS".
3) Enable routing fix and MMS clamping.
Enjoy!

Most people just set it to "Generic ICS" profile. Pretty obvious profile to try.
Wifi Tether has worked on every ICS ROM I tried since day one. Even if you flashed the dreaded VM Firmware.
Also described in MeanROM ICS OP since he started it.
Generic ICS, mss clamping and routing fix worked for me. Not sure if the latter two are needed, but why mess with something now that it works.

Tethering not working for me
mswlogo: You said tethering even works of you flashed the dreaded VM firmware.
I flashed the "dreaded VM" software and have not been able to use tethering since.
I have it set up properly, but when I try to start it, it just shows the spinning circle and it sticks like that , in other words it is perpetually trying to start. To the point that I have to force close it to get the app to stop. I have wiped cache and Davlik.
Is there a thread somewhere that will tell me how to get tethering working if I flashed the VM firmware. The threads I have seen all say that the VM firmware update has been known to break tethering. I am waiting for Unknownforce's firmware downgrade fix that is coming soon: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1653777.
Until then I would love to get my tethering back. If you can point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.

1) I didn't even know that profile existed in the app, but I agree......it is obvious and I would have tried it had I seen it.
2) Due to all the BS on these forums, I don't visit as much as I used to. I just signed on after a few weeks and noticed that there were a bunch of ICS roms available with4G and the camera working and was just excited to be able to flash one. I read about the VM issues, but didn't experience it since I never put that on my phone.
3) If it was listed in the meanROM OP, I must have read right over it. However, when I searched to find a fix, I found a lot of recent threads being started in many different forums were people were asking about wireless tether issues on ICS. When I came across this fix and saw it worked, I figured I'd post it and maybe it would help someone out.

I have it set up properly, but when I try to start it, it just shows the spinning circle and it sticks like that , in other words it is perpetually trying to start. To the point that I have to force close it to get the app to stop. I have wiped cache and Davlik.
Is there a thread somewhere that will tell me how to get tethering working if I flashed the VM firmware. The threads I have seen all say that the VM firmware update has been known to break tethering. I am waiting for Unknownforce's firmware downgrade fix that is coming soon: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1653777.
Until then I would love to get my tethering back. If you can point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.

First thing I did after flashing VM Firmware and CleanROM ICS was test Wifi tether.
Wifi tether worked fine. But I lost VPN and that is how I discovered I lost it.
In the process of trying to get VM Firmware off my phone, it got worse and worse.
Until eventually I had no data at all.
So it depends where you're at with the Virgin Mobile Firmware Virus . If you still have Data I believe WIFI Tether should work fine with the correct settings.
Router Fix is required. MSS Clamp works either on or off but I set it on, I've seen in teh past when it was required too.
Finally Got It Working

Thanks for the response. I actually just got it to work. I, like you, thought it must be a glitch bc of the VM firmware. So I did a clean install of the latest MeanRom ICS (v1.4). Once I got everything loaded back, I checked Wi-Fi Tether. It wouldn't work, but the app was not getting hung trying to start like before. It would start but no uoload/download data was registering and my wi-fi only tablet would see my phone but could not connect to it.
I read on a thread about CleanRom that SuperSU and Tether on ICS don't always play well together, so I cleared data on SuperSU and then disabled it and downloaded Superuser. Still no tether,so next I updated busy box (from 1.18.0 to 1.20.0). I then re-enabled SuperSU since it is cooked into MeanROM , then uninstalled Superuser. I ran WiFi Tether again regiving permissions bc I had cleared data on SuperSU and Voila, it is now working perfectly.
I honestly don't know it it was the act of disabling SuperSU clearing the settings,and then re-enabling it, or updating BusyBox, or all of the above in the right order. But it is working! Maybe this will help someone else.
I selected "Generic ICS Device" and it worked for me

Works
Followed instructions and it worked like a charm... I also tried the Generic option too and it also works...
you may need to change your superuser app which worked for some

For me Wireless Tether does not work too. I have installed a Sense 4 Rom on my device.
I have tried several settings but it never worked for me.
So i have downloaded Barnacle Wifi Tether APP from PlayStore. And voila it works for me on a Sense 4 rom.
In settings you need to check " Skip wpa_supplicant " an then it works. The only thing is, you can only set WPE key encryption.
Try it and give feedback....:good:

Sorta off-topic.
I have massive ping spikes when tethered and gaming on my PC.
Anyone else have/had the same problems? How did you fix it?
Strangely, Skype eliminates this issue entirely, but I can't Skype someone every time I want to do some gaming.
Any thoughts?

Tried all of the above recommendations and still cannot get WiFi Tether to work..
Tried Barnicle Wifi as well and am able to get a connection to my iPad - it gives it an IP address but cannot get out to any websites.
With the Wifi Tether only the Upload numbers are changing, the download part is stuck at 0.0.
Any thoughts?

1.37 Mbps - U/L
Is this normal? Anyone getting quicker speeds?
This is fine but seems a bit throttled for me.. I used to get speeds (in the same area on 4G) with my old Evo 4G at around 10-15 Mbps D/L!
Hey guys, I have searched and tried alot of apps and setting to get wifi tethering with my phone. I am rooted, VIPERDNA ROM, S-OFF, and all the apps i use either crash or they try to use the stock tethering which states i need to buy the service plan.
Anyone have anything they use to wifi tether with their DNA? I would really like to do this but I am not going to pay that extra $ for it.
Thanks
P.S. Got a friend to come from his ThunderBolt to the DNA- He loves it!
I use WiFi tether version 3.2-beta2 ***BETA*** with device profile set to Generic ICS/JB (wlan0) & Setup Method to Netd-Ndc (master). Works flawlessy. DNA is stock rom, s-off, rooted. Also enable routing fix. I believe it's the same one in the Play Store. It has the yellow wifi logo (not the green one.)
*EDIT*
With that set-up, I can get other Android phones to run on it.
*EDIT #2*
Not sure when it was updated but now I use version 3.3-beta2-06102013 ***Synergized*** Settings are as follows:
Device-Profile: Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)
Setup-Method: Netd-Ndc (master)
Send Ntd Max Client Cmd: unchecked
Enable WiFi-Encryption: yes
Mac Address Spoof: unchecked
Don't disable Bluetooth: checked
WiFi-driver reload: unchecked
WiFi-driver reload 2:checked
Enable Access-Control: checked
LAN Section
MSS clamping: checked
Routing fix: checked
Miscellaneous Section
Enabled Update-Check
Disabled Wake-Lock
My DNA is completely stock, no custom ROM, no custom kernel, nothing. It is fully S-OFF & rooted. While these particular settings work for me, others (phones, roms, etc...) may need to play around with the settings to find the perfect fit. Best of luck to all.
Thanks alot! Ive used that app before but couldnt get it to work. With your settings i can!

Wireless Tether on CM10.1 4.3.3 Razr XT912?
* This is REALLY REALLY IMPORTANT for me. My Samsunng Galaxy Tab 1 10.2 has a nice big screen for watching HD shows and movies, great for maps and navigation, and fun for games. Not to mention video chats and other things where I need a much bigger screen. I have unlimited data so watching HD Movies all day would not cost a cent, whether it is on the phone or granted access by the Wireless Tether for rooted phones. Verizon charges $20/Mo for that "service" whether you use it or not. I used to subscribe to the service until i got hurt and had to take disabliity. Now I still need it but no way have the money to pay for it. Stock Verizon Blur ROM Android 4.1.2, WiFi tether version 3.2-beta2, worked "right out of the box" Woo Hoo! Somebody answer please, tell me where to ask this question, ask someone else, or anything. It sure is lonely way down in here. Like having a naked swim party at your own mansion, plenty of hot women, live music, drinks, anything you want or need, just ask. And nobody shows up!
I use WiFi tether version 3.2-beta2 ***BETA*** flawlessly with all settings on auto with my Motorola Droid Razr Maxx XT012 when I run the stock, rooted ROM. Android 4.1.2. Now I want to get off stock and use a Cyanogen ROM. I cannot use 10.2 because Data is not supported for this phone in that ROM. But CM10.1 works fine, I get data (4G) and of course my phone works. But I have yet to get wireless tether to work at all on this ROM. I tried the settings that were suggested, it shows up as running, but I use a tablet with WiFi Manager on it. It has an auto-updating radar screen on it. When I turn on tether, it shows up right away, on the correct channel, with the correct SSID (Network Name). But in this CM 10.1 ROM, it does not work at all. All wifi tethers I have tried so far do not work on this ROM. Check screenshots for ROM info.
Man I got to go to bed, just fell asleep at the keyboard for a few seconds and found I had typed in 736 w characters. Time for bed, 'night y'all!
Anybody get Wireless Tether for rooted phones to work on this ROM?

As for coolpad's, I have no experience with those. I only have HTC's: Droid Incredible & Droid DNA. Try changing the rom settings within tether.

Get the new updated version & use the settings in my recently edited post. If that doesn't work, change the Device Profile &/or Setup Method settings. Best of luck.
I used to use the Google code wifi tether, but the settings are a pain in the ass. I just bought FoxFi and have no problems at all now. It has worked flawlessly on several devices now.

I tried & tried as well, looking up apps, going to app store, if they worked then Sprint would have already had app store tell my my phone it was not compatible. Plus the large amount of just BOGUS apps on playstore.
This hotspot on my phone, the one the laptop is hooked to right now is as fast or faster than my router on home network! You have to choose either HOME or WORK before windows 7 will map it out. Saw no internet connectivity past my named hotspot but after restarting the access to hotspot (& hotspot) a couple times it popped up on phone, red windows shield icon with x and had to okay it in the dropdown before it hooked up and worked.
Thanks for this!!!
