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.
I'm using WiFi tether beta as well.

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.

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

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.

Hello XDA Developers,
I have an HTC thunderbolt, I'm running Cm7.1, the newest release that came out yesterday. My issue is that wifi or USB tethering do not work. Whether I connect usb tethering and enable the feature from the phone, or enable wifi tethering and connect through my laptop, the network connects, but then says no internet access and/or limited or no connectivity. My laptop connects to wifi internet fine.
I've had this problem for every iteration of CM7 for thunderbolt since June. Before moving to CM7, i remember trying tethering once or twice and it did not work. I've just decided now to try and get tethering working.
I've tried using the wi-fi tether app from code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list as well as barnacle wifi tether, both have the same problem.
My main questions would be:
1. Is there any reason I have overlooked as to why tethering does not work on my phone? Is there some new verizon block to tethering for root users? Are there any settings I could try to get this working?
2. Are there any known issues with CM7 and thunderbolt tethering?
3. It seems weird if it was a hardware issue since my laptop does actually connect to the phone, it just has no network connectivity.
Thanks!
I had a similar issue and fixed it by downloading the open garden wifi tethering app https://market.android.com/details?id=og.android.tether and changing the network to open on that app as well as the built in cm7 app. Then enable both apps and it should connect. Did for me.

Newest release came out about 20 minutes prior to your post CM7.1.1...check the rootz thread.
I've seen reports of this before. If memory recalls correctly, the devices weren't acquiring an IP correctly. Once you have it tethered, on the laptop/device try releasing and renewing your IP or disabling/enabling the adapter.
You are not the only person having this problem. I'm having this problem too and have not found a fix for it yet. I've found a pattern though, any ROM that I've loaded that was a build or based off of CM7, had the tethering problem. And as stated above, the problem about not acquiring and ip correctly is exactly what's happening.
Hopefully a dev or someone else can come along help resolve this problem. Apparently this problem is not very widespread as it seems that very few peeple have this problem.
Thank you everyone for your help.
keith.mcintyre26, I tried your suggestion of open garden wifi app, and it worked perfectly, just installed it and it worked. CM7 wifi tether still does not work though.

I just got onto this ROM, after being on BAMF Forever, forever, and LOVE IT. My only complaint and possibly a show-stopper -- Wi-Fi Tether doesn't work, and neither does the built-in tether app.
I've done a complete wipe. The client connects, but doesn't DHCP.

Quick update -- Open Garden works...
Strange... But I guess I'm all set
I had/have the same problem with cm7 and bamf1.86. I finally got cm7 tether last night using barnacle, but it was at .3 mbs. I have yet to top 1mbs. That was with 4g(or so it said.) I have tried the included wifi tether, usb tether, barnacle, and open garden. Nothing works properly on either rom. Signal was between -80 and at worst -90.

Seems to be a common issue across newer roms lately for wifi tether.
I got mine fixed by downloading the newest experimental build.
Once installed go into settings, Check Disable wake lock, check wifi driver reload, also check routing fix. Furthermore, make sure you select the proper device, should be the first option once you open settings.
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.

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.

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.
** Addition - Installed OpenGarden it is running well on the:
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_22 1502_signed

I've also used the moto Droid Razr (cmda/lte) profile
i think i may have found the problem, but not sure. i tried setting up my WIFI on my phone, but when i go to turn it on, i get an "error" that appears right under the wifi check box. anyone know how i can fix this?
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
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!
Hey guys to give you alittle of a background. I am simply just trying to activate my wireless tether so I can use it on my ipad. Mobile hotspot works on my tmobile phone with a snap of a finger. Listed below is a image of my thunderbolts error upon bootup. Ive gotten this error on SOAB BAMF, Liquid Smooth. Ive done alot of research but just keep hitting a stump. Any help will be greatly appreciated. lastly, I have never flashed a radio to this phone before and I dont know how...

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.

I hope this works for you. I think that the thunderbolt and Droid Incredible 2 share some of the same components.

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 tested the settings with 2.0.7 got the same errors, then I tried the latest beta build. My tier 3 rep at work uses gingeritus and 2.0.7 and hes coasting but we just dont know what it is about mine. I am going to test the DUN setting you just told me about. I really appreciate all the insight you have provided.

Have you tried on a different rom yet? The one you are using is very outdated.

I just recently uploaded Gingeritus I was using son of a bliss didnt get the wifi tethering, liquid smooth rom, great battery life and no wifi, now gingeritus. May I ask what other rom you would suggest?
I personally had flawless wifi tethering with Infected Eternity with the wifi tether setup I posted. Have you tried the new radios?

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.
