I stupidly unrooted and updated my GSII to official ICS update and lost the ability to use wifi tethering. Am I now gonna have to wait for someone to come along and create a rom for the new release that will allow a bypass of the tethering check or are there a couple simple lines in a file somewhere I can change.
Thanks for any info...as it stands, im now stuck working instead of watching netflix on my tethered GTab 10.1
UPDATE: I did some searching around and found that by deleting TetheringManager2.apk in system/app it should allow tethering to go through (I used Root Explorer to do it). Unfortunately, that doesnt seem to work. When I go to enable wifi tethering, the screen goes blank, everything stops responding for about 10 seconds and then it comes back saying settings has stopped responding. So...did I do it wrong or does it look like ATT changed something around with their ICS release?
Tethering is disable in stock ics. There is a gp app that will allow you to do so

Do you happen to know the name of the app?

This is a great wifi app, but you need to be rooted to use it.

You need root for WiFi Tether, and he can't root.
Just flash the cherry blur rom and apply your theme of choice.

re-read the op.
anyway, I'm not sure you'll have much luck without being able to change the apns.
I'm having the same issue. I have root but still can't get the wifi tether app to work. Superuser is installed but nothing. I keep reloading kernel files in the app but no luck. Tried both wifi tether and wireless tether.
Any help? Btw I was doing fine until the gingerbread update.

w/o rooting you won't have any luck, do this once you do:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160452&highlight=tethering+2.3.4.
I suppose you can only get barnacle through applanet. Scanning it doesn't find the app in the normal market. However applanet hasn't been working for a while.
Anybody else have that issue? If you do please provide a fix.

What he said. I've been using this same setup and it's been working perfectly fine.

Wifi tether from the market works. Just set your device profile to generic ics.
this reply comes to you by way of Wifi Tether Beta14... hit the menu and choose Generic ICS under device profile.... i've always had good luck hitting menu again while in settings and "reload binaries" after choosing that device... sometimes i change the LAN settings to a different IP.. (especially with PS3) any change i make is followed by "reload binaries." don't know if it's necessary just a habit ive gotten used to.... either way, im tethered as i type this (stock rooted.. stock rooted unlocked... viper rom) all have worked... I live in the Virgin Islands... gots to have the tether

Me too! I asked Sprint chat and they said it shouldn't be working unless I pay extra for it. Not sure why it works.
Hi, i was trying to enable wifi portable hotspot on my rooted and unlocked i717, i was reading in the forums and some people were able to do it just uninstalling or freezing "tetheringmanager" with titanium backup, but i can't find that service listed in my device, instead of that i have "tethering provisions" but if i uninstall or freeze and then try to enable portable hotspot my screen goes black and there is an error saying "settings has crashed...".
is there any way to enable native tethering and portable wifi hot spot in the at&t galaxy note i717????
any help would be sooooo appreciated.
thank you so much for your time

nothing yet, i hope someone here can give me a light...i don't like to use 3rd party apps
I'm pretty sure you can't do it unless you flash a rom with free tethering enabled or use a 3rd party app

tetheringmanager apk but that is not present in my i717 with android 4.0.4, maybe it was only in older android versions

hey, i just found the solution!!!!!!!!!!
simply download "tethering widget" from the android market and turn on/off the hotspot option from there, you don't need to freeze or uninstall anything....that's all so easy and working great, my laptop is now on the web through my note
i hope this works for you too, please let me know

This should have its own post. That's awesome! No root required. As easy as downloading a 476kb apk off the play store. Thanks for that!
you are welcome!!!!!

Settings/more/portable hotspot. Create or own password or switch to open
Most roms work 4.1.x and below if u want 4.2.2 u need the latest nightly for 02/19 or above.
ever used app called open garden?

Never have here....Ive always used the stock tethering option in settings, or FJMod to avoid overhead.

Few carriers have blocked using hotspots and so they would have disabled it. You can install apps like Foxfi and use..

Not stock rooted, just stock. The mj4 .tar through ODIN. You can use kingofroot to get root back and you should have hotspot like everyone else.
