(Q) anyone have working tethering after OTA? - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

My phone is unlocked with HTC Dev, rooted from TWRP, S-on. I went to JB with the OTA so I'm stuck with S-on unless someone finds an exploit for Hboot 2.09.
The 2 biggest reasons I root are for ad blocking and tethering. That's why I never found it that important to S-off. Well now neither of them work.
Its seems as tho Sprint/HTC locked down anything writing to the system. Tethering doesn't work, ad blocking host updates or updating binaries in SuperSU or superuser or busybox all cause hard reboots.
I'm really frustrated at the moment. I realize that it's mostly my own fault for taking the OTA, but I'm just looking for work arounds that don't involve paying Sprint more money...

Reroot the phone since u took the ota might have overwritten the Su binaries. WiFi tether for root users still works as I still use it.

You got to reroot! Not as bad as it sounds - because I was able to do it.
Unlock the bootloader:
http://htcdev.com/bootloader/
Install TWRP:
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/98
Use the "Download - Fastboot Method"
If you need ADB and Fastboot, download from here http://d-h.st/iqA
Now install root by installing http://download.chainfire.eu/298/SuperSU/CWM-SuperSU-v0.99.zip using TWRP.
Disclaimer. Not responsible if your phone blows up. It worked for me, and worked well.
Good Luck!!!!

If you are using WiFi tether app, you need to go into settings and set the profile to Generic ICS, enable MSS Clamping and the routing fix, and you should be good to go.
Edit: There have also been reports that the s-off exploits for Hboot 1.15 & 1.19 work with the 2.19 Hboot (look for the thread in the dev forum)., so you may want to look into that also.

Generic ics doesnt work it should be generic ics/jb (WLAN0) if you get the generic ics only option update WiFi tether for troy users via market. Happened to me swoon as I rooted the ota it would start but not broadcast anything on generic ics

I've rooted and rerooted it. I've tried both superuser and SuperSU. The regular WifiTether app just starts and seems like it's working but never broadcasts. I tried the latest Beta I could find (TrevE I believe) with the settings suggested and it does the same thing. Everything looks like it is working but no signal is broadcast. I will look for the Troy version just to try the exact one you got to work. Do you know which beta that is?

Ok, try this for setting:
Change Device-Profile:
Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)
Change Setup-Method:
Netd-Ndc (master)
WiFi-driver reload
checked
MSS clamping
checked
Routing Fix
checked
Also need to turn off connection manager (this enables WIFI from time to time to see if WIFI is avaialbe, and if it is turns off mobile network). If you don't, once it cylcles on the WIFI the tethering app will respond as WTH happened. Do this in Settings -> Mobile Data -> Automatic Connection, uncheck Connection Optimizer.
Note: Had connection issues until changed to Netd-Ndc (master)

I know this thread is about wifi tethering... but what about USB tethering? I can't seem to find a darn thing about being able/unable to USB tether...

I've tried many different versions.
The closest I've got to working is on 3.2-beta2-modv5 (wifi tether trevE Mod)
It shows internet access on my computer, but doesn't load anything. If I look at my Evo, I see the 3G constantly going in and out. I have done all these settings:
Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)
Netd-Ndc (master)
Send Netd Max Client Cmd (if I disable this it will not even say internet access)
WiFi-driver reload
MSS clamping
Routing Fix
Connection Optimizer OFF
I have tried with different SSIDs, encryptions, etc.
Every time I start tethering it says TETHERING STARTED WITH ERRORS, SHOW LOG. So I do this and can see everything failing to start. Any help?

Wireless Tether on ICS......works!

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.

Trouble with rooted Rezound and connecting

I've unlocked my Rezound and rooted it. I checked the root and its says "congratulations, you are rooted" With that said... I downloaded WiFi Tehter (just as I did with my last HTC Incredible) and tried to hook up my Motorola Xoom. The Xoom won't recognized the Rezounds Wifi but my wife's laptop will but then it won't get online. As a matter of fact, my daughter's IPhone can recognize the Rezound tether and get online.
I have tried every combination of settings to no avail and am willing to try ANYTHING at this point.
make sure you're set to 'Netd (master)' and not ad-hoc. Android devices don't like connecting to ad-hoc networks.

are you sure you have root? http://download.chainfire.eu/204/SuperSU/CWM-SuperSU-v0.94.zip flash this in custom recovery (i use amonRa) itll give you root on a stock or any rom. open superSU and update binary
download "root checker" from the app store (burrow apps)
start it up grant permission and be sure your rooted.
Also is your mobile data on? i know it sounds funny but i made this mistake before. no mobile data no tether but you can still connect.
also you need to be unlocked, on a custom recovery, and rooted.. i personally use an uninstaller to uninstall to the stock mobile hotspot app.. ive heard it interferes with the rooted apps.
Ok, Here's where I'm at:

Keep Wifi on during sleep - Always
Wi-Fi Frequency band - Auto
Mac address - 40:fc:89:f6:b2:09

The Xoom still doesn't see the Rezound.
Laptop doesn't see it either
So aggrevating!
I use the following settings on rezound for all roms. In WiFi tether:
#device profile: rezound
#set up: auto
#ssid: change it
#channel: 11
#routing fix: checked
I don't have internet so I actually use this app constantly for x-box live. WiFi tether has worked on every Rom I've flashed(all of them!). With the exception of aokp 1.1 which had WiFi issues

Wifi Tethering?

I've heard that Foxfi doesn't work with the Droid DNA--is there any way to use turn this device into a mobile hotspot without having it pre-included in my data plan?
This is my first smartphone; I've been using my Nexus 7 and a dumb phone for the past few months now, and I felt I should upgrade to a smartphone since I'm not living on campus anymore. This seems like a great phone in and of itself, but I'd still like the option to tether my tablet. Any suggestions?
As long as you are rooted, you can use WiFi Tether For Root Users (yellow WiFi bars picture) and it will tether just fine. You won't need to include tethering in a data plan to use it.

Yeah but that's one more app running in the background. If you have that feature built in the os why not run the native app IF it works? That's why I'm asking... does it work?

It only runs in the background if you have it turned on and you are using it, just like any stock app.

I am seeing exactly the same issue. Numerous errors on starting, unable to tether. Or more precisely, other devices can see the hotspot and tether to it, but do not get Internet access.
My main problem is that my phone will show up as a device instead of a router (like it used to on my OG Incredible), thus not allowing other phones or tablets to connect to it because they don't see the connection. Laptops work find though. I use "wireless tether for root users" with the green signal symbol and not the newer version because the new one doesn't show the data speeds and total data used in the app.
I am using the latest yellow version and both my Galaxy Note and Lenovo laptop tether to it but do not get Internet access.
sorry for jumping on old post.
Just wondering. On my moto droidbrazr maxxbi did an sqlight hack to bypass the entitlement check and was able to use the stock hotspot app even though i was on unlimited data. Would a similar work around work for dna?
Here are the settings that are working for me on ViperDNA 1.1.2
WiFi Tether 3.3-pre2
Device Profile: HTC Rezound

Just enabled my WiFi Tether I am using WiFi Tether 3.2-beta2 with ROM Super Stock v1.0106.605.4 http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565190
Searched YouTube and found..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AF77Pk-nZng Followed his steps and I'll be it worked!
LOL for anyone still using the DNA, I just installed NuSense Six and FoxFi works perfectly - not ad-hoc, full infrastructure mode, so it will work with devices other than PCs.

I'm using all stock roms (I was s-off and flashed stock recovery, grabbed OTAs, flashed TWRP recovery). I installed SuperSU & BusyBox than was able to tether using Barnacle Wifi Tether~ it gave me an error for adhoc but I was able to click associate and use my 4g on an iPad.(Also checked external IPs & ran speedtests to confirm it was using 4G)
Not working for me. It gets stuck at "please wait while starting". And just spins. I can back out of it but nothing good happens.

[Q] Best working wifi tether app. (ROOTED, S-OFF)

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.

As stated above, try changing the rom settings within the tether app.

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.

Native WiFi Tether app is modded and working on ViperDNA 3.1.0 and most, if not all, other 4.4.2 ROMs.

Where/how are you seeing the MSS Clamping?! I think that's all I need to get this going again but it isn't showing up in my app frustrating the Hell out if me!

So even though I'm notified to activate the service through Verizon in the Native WiFi Tether app, I can still use it without being charged for it?

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!!!
