Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
You must be rooted, for more information google search "XDA Motorola Photon 4G AIO Root", also you need to use, I believe it is...
Version [VERSION DELETED] , I will double check and edit this post when I find out.
EDIT: Version 3.1 BETA 6
Just google it and add .apk to the end if your search terms.

here is the latest version available...
WiFi Tether V3.1 Beta 7
set it as follows:
Device Profile - Samsung Galaxy S
Setup Method - Netd (master)
then whatever ssid you want to call it and whatever password you want for it also...
this is how i have mine set up and works perfect for me... and i use mine almost daily on my PS3 for online gaming...
Ok so i don't know about you guys but every time i try to use the tether i do exactly what everybody has been saying i have tried every version and setting combo and when i am on 4g it kicks me off then locks up and then when i try to use 3g after i restart the program 3 g causes my phone to reboot everytime any help would be appreciated.

I have been doing it a little different than what was posted so maybe you can try it. May not make a difference but works for me.
**Someone else figured this method out and gets all the credit. I can't find the original post to link to.
1) Download Wireless Tether app and then Data Enabler widget from Market.
2) Set in WT app:
Device Profile --> Google - NexusOne
Setup Method --> Netd (master)
3) Toggle Data Enabler widget off --> turns off 3G/4G connectivity
4) Start tethering in WT app.
5) Toggle Data Enabler widget on --> turns on 3G/4G
Device should immediately show up as WAP and connect via infrastructure mode.
Works great for me. Hope this helps.

Thats crazy - I downloaded this and it tells me my "kernal will not allow the access-control, access-control disabled"...
I tried changing the device type, etc as you guys stated above, but it still won't start up the tethering.. any ideas?

Should still tether, mine does. Access Control just let's you grant or deny access to machines as they connect

odd - okay - will give it another try at home.. I had a couple guys try to find the wireless signal with their phones and no one could find the network. Will post back when I figure out if that is working or not.

Edit: Im using Tethering Widigt by Hi-Develop? Thats the only one I found compatable. What are you using?
Are you trying wireless or wired? I always had Luck with easytether for wired and wifi tether beta for wireless. Google search wifi tether and it should come up, I'm using beta 10 I think. You have to change thedevi even profile to a nexus device and then type to netd(master) to get it to work

I tried both wired (USB) and wireless. When I go to the market, it tells me all the easytether products are incompatable with my device? I will google wifi tether.
Pretend your talking to an idiot, matter fact, dont pretend......what is thedevi? profile, netd?
Are you using windows vista? It has problems with wifi anywhere, not just tethering. Try repairing your connection. If that doesn't work try setting up a new connection. Look in development .

Download the latest version here: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
Then place it on your SDcard and install. Make sure your phone will allow unknown sources by going to settings > application settings > and check unknown sources.
After the app installs open it up. Hit the menu soft key and select settings. In the settings, set the "Device-Profile" to Samsung Galaxy S2 and then set the "Setup-Method" to Netd (master). This will somehow enable the built-in mobile hotspot, which will give you infrastructure mode, which pretty much all computers like.
I also have MSS clamping checked. I dont have the Routing Fix checked. You can change the SSID and security settings if you want. Now, exit out of the settings and start tethering by touching the symbol in the middle of the screen. Now get on to your computer and find the network. Everything should work from there.
Good luck.
One more option
I just tried with "open garden wi-fi tether" on Stock with Jokers Higpro kernel and it works just fine.
If I remember proper when I ran the stock kernel tethering would connect but not transfer data. Kinda sound like what your problem is.

They still have PC/Laptops with Vista? SOB, I thought the FCC, FBI, CIA, Homeland Security and Sarah Palin all sued them and forced MicroSoft to purchase back all copies for MicroSoft's failure to disclose it was a POS? Even the drug cartels forced summlgers to use Vista Laptops for directions, they figured if they got caught, border guards would laugh so hard they could excape anyway!!!

By the way, I am also stock and rooted. Running 198_7 straight up with some bloat removed and wireless tether works fine for me.

i had issues trying to get devices to connect to the phone when using version 3 of wifi tether... so i scoured the net and found an .apk for version 2.x and now everything is working fine... that was an OG evo not an LTE though
My issue was fixed after I updated the device profile to Generic ICS in settings.

Make sure you are using this tether app. Like others have said, make sure you go into settings> Generic ICS for profile.
If that alone doesn't fix it, try checking 'MMS clamping' and 'Routing fix'. Make sure to also 'forget' the access point on your transformer before trying to connect again. This works awesome for me and my Nexus 7.
Where do you go in settings to switch to generic ICS? Right now I'm using FoxFire, but I rather use sprint wifi tether or the wireless tether app from market..

Just remembered that another issue I had, not sure if it would pertain to you, was the wireless adapter my computer was using. My laptop would connect without issue but PC that was using an 802.11N adapter wouldn't pick up my phone. Issue went away when I changed it for a G adapter.
Can someone please help with WiFi tether. I have a EVO LTE rooted. I have the settings set as generic ics I have mms clapping and routing fix checked. I changed the ssid and the password. I get the computers to connect but with no internet I tryed using the WiFi fix to use the stock hotspot and I got it to work for about 10 min. I also tryed Firefox still no luck please help. from my EVO using xda premium
Make sure your settings are setup like this:
Change Device-Profile: Generic ICS
Change Setup-Method: Netd (master)
none of these things worked
Is your transformer rooted with the ad hoc fix baked in. I believe it's a problem on the tablets side not the LTE.

there is no "change device profile" ?
1 settings...then what?
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.

Hi All - coming to the LGOG from the SG Note which had no problems stock rooted - wifi tether working - just changed profile to I think nexus or something can't remember.
Has anyone consistently been able to get hotspot to enable on the stock ROM? what are the settings you are using in wifi tether? Assuming that is how you were able to get it to run. I am rooted on Jellybean - i have tried what google suggested and forum search suggested with no joy.
Tried - device profile SG3, generic ICS / JB (lan0)
It launches but no devices see it broadcasting? HELP!
Need this feature - want to stay with stock ROM if possible?
Thanks
MB
Can't say regarding the stock Rom, but wifi tether works well on RootBox.

Works with stock as well. Use netd-ndc (master) and you should see your Wi-Fi ssid available. Choose an alternate lan if you can see the net but not get a connection. Search these forums, there is a little more detail posted.

Jdock - did you change the device?
Ok - tried that and it did get me broadcasting but when I tried loggin into the device on my laptop it BSOD'd my laptop (tried it 3x and got same result) on Generic ICS/ JB lan0 and lan1 would not broadcast? I did search before and came up with no confirmed working settings? Any thoughts or can anyone sticky this or add working confirmed WIFI tether app settings that work on rooted unlocked stock?
Do you pay monthly for tethering service?
I tried tethering on my Samsung Infuse a while back and got a notice saying the service would be added to my bill if I did it again.
Is it undetectable if you are rooted or running a different ROM

I used wireless tether on a SG note and was not charged, didn't get any notifications either and it was a stock ROM rooted. I didn't use it that heavily though in terms of data downloaded mostly just syncing laptop for work.

Yes, didn't mention it because it was what you said (Generic ics/jb wlan0).
Did you try a different lan selection? I don't know what about it would make your laptop crash - sounds like an issue with your laptop that is incompatible with something in the AP settings.
You might need to try the netd max client cmd option too.
I also have a method (no sexy app, just a few commands I put into a script) that lets me run a socks proxy on my phone while my phone is a regular wifi client on my network (just brings up wifi without disabling data), and I can point my pc's web browser at it, thus usable even with wired pc's on my network. You can go a step further and apply the iptables rules the way wifi tether does, point your default gateway at it, and be tethered too.

OK - SOLUTION!!!!
the centrino driver on my Laptop gets a BSOD when connecting to the wifi hotspot with this phone and nexus 4 i guess- it is an identified issue on the Intel wireless community some people installed older drivers for their chipset to get it working, but mine does not have older drivers it is an ASUS UX31a (love this ultrabook) - final solution was to disable N mode on the advanced tab of the wireless chipset. Connects now no problem and stays connected.
my work laptop OLD intel chipset has no problem and hooked right up to the tether
Settings:
Wireless tether
Device profile - (Generic ics/jb wlan0)
Device Set-up method - Netd-NDC (master)
Lan- 192.168.1.0/24 (thanks Jdoc i did change this was defaulted to 192.168.2.0/24)
Hope if anyone else is in a quandry on this it helped - thanks for the support!
Cool - do you get the data display on the wifi tether screen (amount transferred and speed)? I had this but it seems like the JB update made it go away - maybe their method of collecting the data is incompatible with JB or maybe something else got trashed in the update.
Thanks for posting your solution.

I'm stock/rooted at&t JB and using these settings:
Device profile - (Generic ics/jb wlan0)
Device Set-up method - Netd-NDC (master)
and while tethering works fine, I cannot get wifi back after stopping the tether and closing wifi-tether. I can't get wifi back until I reboot the phone. I've tried a number of device profiles (generic, generic ics/jb (both of them), SGSIII) and they all behave the same way. I didn't have this trouble with the stock ICS, this just started with the at&t jb update.
anyone get this working?

That's what I had to do too. Wifi wouldn't turn back on unless I rebooted. I'm not sure how to get it working, considering I'm on Rootbox now.
