Hey guys,
I have leaked JB 4.1 on my SGS2, and I flashed Dorimanx kernel over it.
Everything is pretty much ok except the fact that usb tethering, wifi portable hotspot and bluetooth tethering are not working!
Wifi portable hotspot turns on and two seconds after it turns off automatically. It's same with the USB tethering. Bluetooth tethering stays on but it shows bluetooth error.
I tried with tethering apps from the market - nothing reallly works, evene the apps that use root priviliges.
Please, help!

And all this started happening when you flashed dorimanx................................?
To be honest, I haven't tried tethering while I had leaked stock JB.
Maybe I should flash over some other kernel and see if the tethering is working?
err....yeap, you should
could also re flah the whole thing.

I experienced this issue (No WIFI and Bluetooth) when using Jeboo on Biftor's rom. I flashed Siyah and currently I have it working with BT and USB but Wifi doesn't work.
Try a different kernel and see if you get better results!
I am experiencing the same problem.
What I have done:
Rooted SGS2 GTI9100 using Method 1 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746794
Backed up SMS & Call History
Installed Space & Time 2.2 ROM
When asked to Select Modem & Kernel - I selected the top Dorimanx one from options (I didn't know which to select)
Restored SMS & Call history
Had to re-root by running cwm-touch-6.0.x.x-i9100.zip again to enable Titanium Backup, SuperSU, etc.
WiFi works, mobile data works but I cannot get tethering to work. It disables after about 2 seconds as shomey describes.
Can anyone see what may be wrong? Could it be to do with the modem & kernel selection? How do I check which modem & kernel I need?
Hope you can help. Thank you.

Hi, I finally decided to post my question after many hours searching trough google and xda.
Two weeks ago like many of you I uptdated my x10 to pre-rooted 2.3.3 stock Rom. At this moment I successfully tested wifi hotspot and usb tethering built in fonctions.
But Recently I tried to use it again but any time I checked the option, Android activate it for a second, an then says me "error" under the option name. Usb tehter can't be reactived at all and wifi hotspot can be checked but always uncheck himslef with the error subtitle.
Anyone facing this issue or know where it can come from ? And maybe the fix of course ^^.
Hope I made my self clear because actually I'm french.

I use Baracle to solve the issue with wifi tethering
https://market.android.com/details?id=net.szym.barnacle&feature=search_result
Yeah this is the solution I used to adopte when was on 2.1. And it was the best until the update.
But as far as what I tested when built-in tether worked it's clearly better. Not just an Ah-hod network but a real hotspot. Basically it's easier for other devices to connect and remember the password without configuring everything especially on windows.
And the usb option was even better, nothing to configure, no password, battery charging during tethering.
Anyway thank for the advice, until I get the solution I'll probably continue to use this app.
When you say "solve the problem with wifi tethering", do you mean you have the same one ?

Please, no one else, am I the only one facing the issue ? Even on an other device maybe ?
Finally I used SEUS to repare and root it like azazu said. Everything is back. Didn't find any other solution

I have the same problem and it never has been working from the start ! but USB tethering has no problem. The only way to fix it is to re-flash ?
Well I guess this is the best until someone more expert than us find a solution. I made a reparation with SEUS (sony ericsson update service) and then restore all back with Titanium Backup. Remember to save your contacts and sms before (cause Titanium doesn't). It only took one hours to get it all back just like before (root, bravia, Xloud, fps uncap...)
Hotspot error UNSOLVED 2012-02-01
Here's what I've done so far. I've suffered from this issue on two different Samsung Galaxy TAB's 7" (1 generation), two different Samsung Galaxy S2, two different HTC Desire HD, one ZTE Blade.
This issue is NOT caused by:
*Manufacture of phone
*Internet Service Provider (ISP)
*Operator
*Bluetooth ON/OFF
*root ON/OFF
*Stock Kernel
*Mod Kernel
*Stock Rom
*Mod Rom
*Stock Modem
*Mod Modem
*Android version: 2.3+ has this issue. (I've experienced a different issue on 4.0+; the Hotspot is up running although no device can connect to it.)
The only solution I've found is:
(From Clockwork Recovery):
Wipe Data(system reset)
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik
Format Cache
Format Data
Format System
-Install a Rom (try a different one from what you are using right now).
Reboot
RESULT:
Hotspot working fine....for a while..
When it stops working; you'll have to do the steps above again. Install a different ROM, now you probably can return to your previously ROM which had this issue first. It will probably work. If it doesn't, switch ROM till you find one that works. Sometimes, total randomly; you will be able to use ROMS which this issue has been present earlier.
Yet, this is NOT a permanent solution. You will, no exceptions, experience this issue, on whatever ROM, modem, kernel, stock, not stock, phone, whatever, whatever you choose.
Here's one scenario which I couldn't figure out:
Galaxy TAB 7" 1st generation.
Android 2.3.4
*HOTSPOT ERROR*
WIPE/FORMAT
RE-Flashed Same Rom
*HOTSPOT WORKING*
1 hour later
*HOTSPOT ERROR*
WIPE/FORMAT
RE-Flashed Same Rom
*HOTSPOT WORKING*
5-10 minutes later
*HOTSPOT ERROR*
WIPE/FORMAT

?????
I've also noticed that USB tethering is affected by this issue aswell.
If you have it working, congratulations! Use it while it lasts, nothing stays forever.

I installed check rom revoHD v4 and wifi just stopped working. When i activate it, it says its activating, it turns on and a few seconds lates it turnos off. It never gets a mac adress.
I tried changin kernels (siyah 2.51), and modems with no luck. Anyone has an idea how to fix it?
Thanks

What kind of security is your wifi modem is having? is it wps smthng lk that? Did you tried with different wifi hotspots?
it doesnt have any security, i disable it
The thing is that it doesn even recognize that there is a wifi signal, it just turn off automatically before without detecting any wifi signal, i tried at work and the same thing happened
(sorry if i misspelled a lot of words jejeje)
try to flash another ROM and see if it works...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA premium app
i restored the backup i made with cwm and everything works fine now (touch x-power rom), and if i reinstall check rom the wifi goes out again, it seems it deletes something that leaves me with no wifi mac adress (i searched in about the phone, turning on and of wifi and every time it said not available)
Bizarre...
im getting the same thing, did anyone find a solution?
had this same exact issue.. it is a hardware problem.. so changing rom, kernel or fw wont help you at all... only solution is going to samsung service center.. my problem was solved in 3 days..so many s2 users have this problem..
take a look at these threads...

There are a lot of problems with KK5 and wifi. If you update Busybox it borks it completely. I can't connect to my 5Ghz home wifi but the 2.4 Ghz works fine. I also can't connect to some wifi that uses WEP. All works fine with previous builds. I have seen threads that suggest replacing the wpa_suplicant file from Android 2.3.5 fixes the problem.
phone came with gingerbread 2.3.4 ,then i updated through ota to 4.0.3, after first boot wifi cannot connect to home wifi, after secnd reboot it connects into the wifi but internet is still not working

Just root your device and change your kernel can save your problem.I hope so.
Known problem; http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=28036. Rooting, installing Fardjad's WiFix, setting a country code (GB in my case) and increasing /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes from 3606 to 16384 fixed it for me. None of that should be necessary on the stock firmware of a consumer appliance, though.
EDIT: Actually, if WiFi connects, it might not be this issue after all. It is a problem in many (all?) official ICS 4.0.3, though. If by "internet is still not working" you mean the stock browser force closes before you can do anything with it, you'll need to go into settings->applications->all->[browser name] and clear cache and data. You'll lose your bookmarks, history and cache, so back those up first if you want to keep them.
Hi , I updated to this same build version today (form the first post), and I did notice that the wifi is working, however the download arrow of the wifi icon on the notification bar keeps blinking all the time. Is this normal?

Are you on about the up and down arrows on the Wifi icon? This is normal this just shows the up arrow as uploading and the down arrow as downloading data. All part of the ICS UI.
Piece of advice root your phone install custom kernel and Rom. You will not go back to stock ever again!!!
Thx for the reply. Yes those are the arrows I'm refereing to, but the thing that seems odd is that whenever the wifi is connected the down arrow keeps blinking regardless if I'm using anything (apps or browsing) on the internet or not.
As for the custom roms/root, I will get to those yet.. First I'll try rooting and then I might move to a custom rom. I actually got very used to the stock rom, but I know once I start changing it will be a one way road.. lol
regards
I had a similar problem when I updated to ICS 4.0.3. I did a factory reset on my router which sorted it out.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
In my case it doesn't seem to be draining more battery, its just the blinking that I found curious...
Not sure the router has anything to do with it but I will keep this in mind for possible fixes...
thx

Your Wifi always looks for the router hence the down arrow downloading data which is very minimal. Your router gives you an IP address which lets you have internet. Your wifi checks for internet even if you are not using it. This is why its best to turn wifi off if you are not using it as it does drain your battery. Custom kernels have sorted this out when your phone "sleeps" it doesnt wake up even if your wifi is on.
Root first, Backup backup backup second, then install a custom kernel (this is the most important part of the phone) and then a custom rom. Seriously stock hasn't nothing on Mod. Think about it.....
I flashed the ROM yesterday and chose the Siyah kernel while installing.
I read up a lot and many people recommend Siyah. Everything works fine, except the wifi will sometimes just not be working. If I toggle it, it tries to connect and asks for password. As soon as I enter the password, it connects and immediately disconnects and asks for password again. The password box has (unchanged) written in it and the dialogue box says I entered the wrong password. I have tried it over and over, so it is definitely not a mistake in the password.
(Wifi works fine on my laptop)
I read up today morning and someone said that wifi issues can be kernel related. My priority in kernels are basically battery life, smooth performance and great audio (if its a function of the kernel) and everything else that works should work normally. So, if the solution is flashing a different kernel, could someone recommend one?

It wouldn't connect to the two connections I had access to. If the issue stays, I'll move to Perseus.

Read a little more and it seems the problem is with android 4.1.2 to begin with. Of course I could be wrong, I'm reading from too many random sources.
Hey there
I'm using Rootbox 4.1 / Most Recent Dorimanx and I can't seem to find a solution to my tethering problem.
I have tried rootbox stock kernel, flashing siyah kernel, upgrading to rootbox 4.2, using open garden, most of the tether apps out there and bluetooth tethering.
Jtether is the only thing that works for making a wifi network but I need USB tethering specifically for my car system to access a network (Asteroid Mini)...I could also use bluetooth internet but that seems even less likely to have a solid fix.
The problem is my USB tether option is greyed out and it says "'USB not connected" even though I have connected it (on many different devices).
I have poured over every help thread I can find. I have also called my carrier to ensure my tethering options are working correctly.
So far, I have had absolutely 0% success at creating a network that my car system can access.
Any idea how I can get usb tethering back?

Have you reset the WiFi settings? Region code has helped others. Go to WiFi and press menu then go to advanced and have a look there.
dont get the latest dori kernel, its bugged and not enough tested, i got the dori 8.34 and it works fine

Rootbox doesn't have region code settings or a wifi settings reset button under advanced (or at least mine doesn't)
