I have rooted my phone via zedomax and that worked great. I have SU, etc..
I downloaded WiFi tether but can't get it to work. I have tried a Ubuntu machine and my HP Touchpad, neither will connect. The Linux box would show the connection but it showed an icon I am not familiar with, maybe AdHoc not sure.
The touchpad didn't see the connection at all?
Any thoughts or suggestions?
make sure u have ur device set under generic ics in the wifi tether pref
For wifi tether to work:
Set profile to generic ICS (as Tickleme said)
Set MSS Clamping
Set routing fix
That'll get you running.
Mine works just fine without either mss clamping or routing fix. Only thing I had to do was set it to Generic ICS.
If you just changed your SSID or passphrase, make sure you "Reinstall binaries/config" under the options menu or whatever it's called.

+1 works great for me.
Mine didn't, nor did it work without those on the Evo3D...but if it works for you guys without MSS/Routing that's cool.

works great thanks for the help...
Slower than crap on 3G at my house, but at least it works.. Again thanks guys..
So what is the minimum to get wifi tether to work? HTC dev unlock? Root? Or both?

Yea just root via the zedomax method and then install wifi tether, setup like mentioned in this thread and your good to go.
took all of 5 mins to root, the phone has to reboot 3 times and your done. Simple, if done with linux even easier... don't have to mess with drivers and all that crap..

Is there away to hack the Sprint Mobile Hotspot instead of getting the WiFi Tether app?

Why? I've found the tether app to be better.
If you are having trouble with the tether app, uninstall it and reinstall it from the Play Store. Then for device profile, select Generic ICS and make sure MSS Clamping and Routing Fix are checked. Turn it on. Profit.

Although I don't use it personally, I've heard the WiFi Tether app is better for three reasons:
1. Less likely to get caught by Sprint
2. Tether works over WiMax
3. Actually works with ICS.
That is all.
My experience with Wifi Tether on ICS:
You need to change the Setup-Method to WEXT (ad-hoc) because Softap (master) gives you 2 errors when starting. (Only difference I have noticed between the 2 methods is that WEXT uses WEP instead of WPA but for the time you will be using it WEP security is good enough.
I have a HTC Evo 4G LTE that has been rooted, for some reason I can not get the tether to work, I was able to get the Hot-spot activated, and it works flawlessly. But I can not get the WiFi tether to work. The profile is set to generic, and the build,prop is set to false.
Are you using this app to do it?
WiFi Tether for Root Users
If not, you may want to give it a try. It works for my phone.
Use WiFi tether for rooted uses and do what the app dev tell you to use in the description

I am using WiFi tether for root, that is why I am stumped...I am stuck with S-on, if that has anything to do with it.
I don't know much, but I know I'm S-ON as well and have no problems with it.
Don't u have to set profile to ics or something like that? Try it.

have tried
Auto
Generic
Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)
Generic ICS/JB (wlan1)
I then tried it with WiFi encryption, then I turned it off.
It shows a SSID and asks for key, but always fails.
Have you tried everything the dev says to use for HTC phones?
It sounds like no. There are other things your missing

Set device profile: Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)
WiFi-driver reload: make sure this is checked
MSS clamping: make sure this is checked
Routing Fix: I usually have it checked, but lately when I've connected to LTE I have to uncheck this to get it to pass along the internet connection.
Hope this helps.

And it works for me.

Sent from my rooted and debloated HTC DNA
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?

I have a rooted coolpad, on the stock rom, using metro. I am using this app and used the settings that you said. I checked the log because it started with errors, When enabling the routing fix it said failed and also failed on enabling the MSS clamping

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!!!
