I also have a RAZR XT912 that I would like to enable WiFi tethering on. I assume I will have to root it. I'm on Verizon in the U.S. I'm reading through the RAZR forums now.
I use FoxFi for wifi tethering on my Razr MAXX. It is in the play market. I am rooted on stock ICS ROM but FoxFi says you don't need root.

I just installed Wireless Tether for Root Users [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=android.tether and it works great. Seems pretty fast even on 3G.
I rooted with the DroidRazrRoot.com_ICS.zip kit and that went smooth as well. You have to remember to install the Motorola drivers for the phone first and that was mostly waiting. This was on windows 7.

I thought these phones natively support USB tethering. Can anyone comment on their experience with it?
My RAZR Maxx is on order, and I'll test it when I get it.
USB tether is supported on my GSM XT910. No idea about the CDMA Razr Maxx.
I have the app on my cdma verizon phone but havent used it yet.
Works well on my GSM XT910, (SEAOP) stock.
Ummm how do you use it?
plug it in and there's a menu or something?
Plugin the phone
Menu - Settings - wireless & Network. - Tethering & Hotspot - USB Tethering
The network will appears if needed drivers are installed.

And then the computer uses the internet conection of the razr.. but the other way round seems to be only possible with a lot of working around. Isn't that really possible without software and stuff?
I use PDAnet on my phone all the time. It's very easy to use and you don't have to be rooted to use it either. Also try Easy Tether.

The point is that USB tether is included, so why use an app?
I think Verizon cdma makes u pay for tethering
Pdanet works good...i paid for it back in the day...then some super cool devs starting making it work for free...yay....no more apps

Anyone knows how to do reverse tethering?
Fixfi in the Market and you can wifi tether. Free app.

I'd need reverse tethering too. I'd need a solution without wifi but cable and without installing software on the pc connected (cause at work I have no permission to do that) and without root. Can anyone help?

Wow, sounds like someone wants to skirt the filters to watch pr0n at work! j/k
My wifi tethering is not working on rooted razr but stock Asia ROM. It lets me configure the settings but internet does not work on other devices when connected to my razr 3g. I can only use internet on my phone but cant share it thru mobile wifi hotspot.

Same here. UK razr .
devices connect to razr's WiFi but no internet.
I have tried stock and apps from the market, no result.
same here on asian stock rom too. usb tethering and wifi hotspot both don't work.
Have any of you guys tried connecting leaving tethering open. Dont put a wpa password. Leave wifi open. I found out if you put a passcode ur other device may not connect properly. Give it a try

I already posted a temporary solution for the tethering problem. The solution needs need 'root'.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1435619
Funny thing was, I able the USB tether several week ago, for testing the tether after OTA update. It ran fine, for the first time. Last night I did Wifi tethering with my Asus Transformer TF101, but, not successful. Just now, I did the USB tethering again, but, not good.
I hope not need to use 'root' again, but,... Motorola should check and resolve tis problem in next OTA update.
Thank you.

Entitlement Hack Glitch "Turning Mobile Hotspot on..."
Hi all,
I just switched to the Droid Razr Maxx from my Verizon Droid X (with unlimited data). I used FoxFi to tether the Droid X. Now I have implemented the Entitlement Hack on my rooted XT912 and it worked fine for a couple of days, but now when I try to activate Mobile Hotspot the process hangs up at "Turning Mobile Hotspot on..." and doesn't do anything further. The same thing happens when I try to go back to FoxFi. Does anyone have any experience with this problem?
I'm using Bluetooth to tether to my Nexus 7 in the meantime and I'm impressed with speed of Bluetooth 4.0. It appears to be about twice as fast as 3G.
Thanks very much.

Try clearing the cache of the that app, or doing a dalvik wipe as well. Last but not least, wipe the data of that app. You can do the cache wipes in your custom recovery or via a terminal emulator.

Hi Auronis1, I'm sorry but I cannot recall precisely what the fix was. I'm guessing that it was installing Cynogenmod 10 a few months ago. I am now on CM 11 M9 and tethering works fine with my XT 912.

Are you using Safestrap? v3.7x? If so, revert to Safestrap v3.65 and your hotspot will work with the stock rom again.

Thank you you're my hero!!
Does 3.7x cause issues with wifi?? I have an wifi issue with auto connection and i use 3.7x.
That worked!
Mike, you are the man! Reverting back to safestrap 3.65 fixed my hotspot issue (using entitlement hack) on my Droid 4.
Thanks!
hotspot enabled
I tinkered abit around my droid RAZR xt912. My hotspot is working fine and I didn't do the entitlement hack.... there are some few things I'm trying to understand about the phone but still looking around its system folder.

Hey everyone I am new here and this is my first post, let me start off by saying I am new to rooting as this is my first rooted android phone, but have owned several android devices including Motorola droid 2, droid bionic, droid razr, with a mistake with the iPhone 5, and now trying out the new galaxy s4 out and back with an android device, with that being said I have rooted my galaxy s4 with VRUAME7 on it for one of the main reasons of getting free Wi-Fi hotspot to run my tablet off of. I have tried everything I know and can find info on to enable the hotspot with no luck even the trev mod Wi-Fi tether with no luck, can anyone help me out with this and any tips and so forth for using my phone rooted, thanks in advance

Only one that worked for me was FoxFi (Padnet) Uhh i think the free version is limited. I dont use any tethering myself but i normally use "Wifi Tether" and i could not get that working correctly. Could possibly be because the mobile hotspot is used internally by FoxFi but regular "Wife Tether" Might not have the permission writes possibly since we are only rooted

I tried using that mod and so forth following it step by step and I could not get it working properly, I got my phone a few days ago and it came with me7 loaded and im wondering if they have an added block on it, on the bright side I did find a post under another category of threads named wifi tether and there was a user that posted how he used portable wifi tether from the play store and he said install it run it and set up your encryption then to exit out of it, then to use it click the app and it will start when verizon throws up the error message hit the home button and only the home button, the hotspot stays on and running that simple, I tried connecting my desktop and ipad and it works properly as far as I can tell so far, I know I kinda answered my own question but figured I would share with you all as well, but any other pointers or cool apps are welcomed since I and my wife are both new to rooting as she also has a galaxy s4

I used FoxFi (the paid version) on my other S4 that is ME7 and had no problems with it. Just read their info in the Play store and it will tell you what to put in FoxFi to use it without the certificate and lock screen. You'll get the VZW message that you have to call and set it through them but you don't. Just leave the message up and the WiFi tether worked just fine.

I didn't look into how to get past the certificate with FoxFi. I just installed the certificate, setup the lock screen then I used Tasker with Secure Settings to disable the passkey. So far I've used FoxFi several times and haven't seen a lockscreen. I setup Tasker with a simple Screen On and a 24hr cooldown to run Secure Settings > Clear Password. Seems to work fine for me for those who are bugged by the FoxFi and password.
replaced my droid razr through assurion i have unlimited data and had my old device rooted and set up to do wireless tether.
its a 98.72.16 xt912 running 4.1.2 with 3.0.8 kernel
i rooted the phone tried market apps as well as apks for wireless tether and trev-e s mod with no luck
i romed the phone to artmod4.3 and tried more apks and apps no luck so
went back to square one un rooted re rooted with droid razr utility (thanks again mattlgroff )
tried apks and market versions they say they are working but do not emit any signal no wifi is given with any apps other than my basic easy tether usb.
i used root checker and verified the new root. im not sure what to try next i need to get my wireless tether back asap and have been looking into threads and other forums to see if anyone has insight or advice on any other approach to take ( free options preferably ).
let me knowif ya have any tips thanks for browsing
