Ok, so I've tried everything that I could think of to get it working. Considering literally a month ago i provided the answer that solved someone else problem. lol
So i just had to get a replacement DNA, and I just finished rooting it, in the process of installing all my apps, and I come to my tethering app.
I have used Wifi Tether for Root Users in the past, and it has worked. Obviously with the settings:
Device-Profile: Generic ICS/JN (wlan0)
Setup-Method: Auto
WiFi-driver reload: Checked
Routing fix: Checked
But i can't see my Network being broadcast at all. I've tried restarting my phone, my computer, re-instlaling the app.
I double checked, it is receiving root privileges.
My next step is to re-install ViperDNA, but I really don't feel like doing that hopefully i don't have to.
Ok, ok ok, everyone point and laugh at the noob who forgot to flash the boot.img.
So i flashed the boot.img and it works now. *sigh* /WalkOfShame
Similar problem with WiFi Tether
I am having a similar problem with WiFi Tether. My DNA is unlocked and rooted with Superuser. When I try to tether I get errors. The only three things that show as done are "Loading WiFi driver", "Enabling IP forwarding", and "Tethering now running". All other items fail. All my settings are identical to the ones mentioned above. My computer will tether to the phone, but the internet won't work. 4G works on the phone and I can connect to other hotspots without any problem. One thing that I find odd is that Superuser asks for permission every time I start or stop tethering, even though I set it to remember. I'm not sure what's causing that, but Superuser seems to be working with Root Checker and the other apps that need it.
I also tried Barnacle without any success. Errors from Barnacle are "WIFI: Could not set ad-hoc mode of wlan0: Operation not permitted" and "Could not connect to NAT, will retry later". My computer can see the Barnacle network but it won't connect at all.
Does anyone have any suggestions to sort this out??? Thanks in advance for your help.
I got it sorted out. Just for future reference to anyone that runs into anything similar, I installed the CubeStock kernel and that didn't fix it, but I read somewhere that WiFi Tether doesn't play well with Superuser, so I installed SuperSU and it is running like a champ now.

I have unlocked, rooted, flashed the CleanROM ICSE 3.6 from scrosler, and have also been able to overclock my Rezound with SebastianFM's kernel. Everything is working great. The only problem is that I can't get the Mobile Hotspot to work; both the built-in VZW app and the WiFi Tether app that was integrated into the ROM fail to emit a wifi signal for my laptop.
On the VZW Mobile Hotspot app, when I tick the checkbox to turn it on, it'll say "processing..." for about 20 seconds and then un-tick the check mark.
On the Wireless Tether app, I am able to turn it on but once started, a message pops up saying "Tethering started with errors! Please check show log."
I had this same problem a couple months ago when I temp rooted my phone, but a hard reset and un-root did the trick and MHS was working again. However, this is a perm root and flash, so I can't use the same resolution. A hard reset isn't working.
I have the $30 Mobile Hotspot feature added to my plan, so actually paying for it isn't the problem. I'd actually prefer the VZW app to work. Can anybody help me out?
edit: Just saw some threads from people who have already posted this question. Searched the Development forum but didn't think to search here! Sorry!

The trick with the Wireless Tether app is to make sure that you have the settings correct. You may have found this answer already else where but here it is again.
You need to set the Device-Profile to Samsung Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE)
Change Setup-Method to Netd (master)
Check the Routing Fix box
The rest of the settings are up to you.
These settings are described in the developer's first post under the Wireless Tether section found here.
I ran across those settings last night. They did help, as my laptop was able to detect AndroidTether and there were no errors on Wifi Tether on my phone. However, when trying to connect, it gets stuck at Limited Access or No Network Access on my laptop. I tried changing properties on the laptop from security type to encryption type, but didn't seem to help.
Any advice? Like I said, I really do not mind paying $30 for the capability for the Mobile Hotspot, I just need it working again for school! Something about rooting the Rezound blocks the capability of the tick box staying checked after processing.
I'm gonna try to flash another ICS Rom and see if it helps. I'll update afterwards.
EDIT: Got it working by reflashing without the overclock kernel!
I am having major problems trying to tether my iPad off of my Razr maxx. Prior to this I had a rooted Droid X and I used the "Wireless Tether" app which worked flawlessly (but slow on 3g).
I rooted my Razr Maxx soon after receiving it without issue using the motofail method. I have tried to get my iPad to connect using: Foxfi, Open Garden, Barnacle, and even used TiBu to bring back my old "Wireless Tether" app that I had on my Dx and none of these work. The tethering apps recognize the ipad as connecting. At best the ipad will recognize the network and show that it is connected but I will not be able to surf.
I've tried rebooting the phone between installs of the apps. Uninstalling and reinstalling the tethering apps. Playing with the ipad (wifi, airplane mode on and off, forgetting networks and reconnecting). I've tried running the apps with WEP, WPA networks and at times no security.
On the barnacle log I see: DHCP: Failed to parse ---numbers and letters--- for brncl_dhcp_dns2 and then NAT: Could not set MTU of rmneto: Invalid argument. Not sure what that means????
Someone on another forum recommended trying to Freeze the stock wifi hotspot app. I tried that and it did not work.
This is killing me. My wife has an unrooted Charge and gets her iPad to connected flawlessly with Foxfi. The only thing I haven't tried is unrooting my phone and running Foxfi?? Any thoughts? I've been at this all day and still have not gotten it to work.
First, there several threads discussing about the problem.
Second, I posted a temporary solution to enable NAT in this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1435619
Note, RAZR does not use rmnet interface. It uses qmi0.
Thank you.
I had the same exact issue with both of my razr maxxes.. i downloaded wifi tether beta 11 onto my computer and transferred/installed the apk file. All was successful.
It kept giving me a "connected with limited access" message.. It was connected but would not transfer data. None of the wifi tether apps worked from the market place. Try another beta version and manually install it.
I got it to work. I unrooted my phone (with the Doomlord method) and then ran foxfi (and it worked). Then I rerooted (with motofail) and foxfi still works. Wierd.
I have had a few other wierd quirks that were solved with either factory resets or reroot and unroot (wifi wouldn't connect to home network, and I lost the data connection).
Now everything seems to working fine. Thanks for the help.
I just installed the new Paranoid Android, and I cannot seem to get the Portable Hotspot to work. I was using the stock rom, and Verizon's 'Mobile Hotspot' worked flawlessly after using the SQLite hack. I have tried Barnacle and Wifi Tether for Root Users (which used to be my go-to, until it just stopped working after an update). I cannot get any of these to work, as Wifi Tether comes up with the error, 'Tethering started with errors, please check 'show log''. When I check the log, there is nothing in it.
Any ideas on what is going on here? It is almost as if there is a messed up driver somewhere, but I am not knowledgeable enough to figure it out. Like I said, I used to have it running perfectly one day, then it seemed like all of my tethering apps wouldn't work. I resorted to using the built in Mobile Hotspot, and it started working fine again.
Strange thing, I also paid for FoxFi, and even that wouldn't work, which I found very odd..

Yeah, literally everything else on the the phone works as new.
When I was having trouble with Wifi Tether for Root Users, Barnacle, and FoxFi, I tried a factory reset via the Droid Razr Utility and it didn't change a thing. One of the beta versions of Wifi Tether turned on with no errors, but I could not find the SSID once it was supposedly turned on. After using the stock Mobile Hotspot with the SQLite hack, it works perfectly. But, when I go to ParanoidAndroid, it uses a different type of 'Mobile Hotspot' app named 'Portable Hotspot', and it just gives me an error (but no details, justs says error under it and then greys itself out.

I had an issue with 3.69 Paranoidandriod and had to do the terminal emulator hack to get wifi to work and that also somehow fixed my tether. If you haven't yet also try to run a fix permission and see if that will take care of things. I will test mine (currently running 3.97 as well) and get back with you later to let you know what I found.
Just saw that there's an update to Paranoidandroid which is 3.98 and he posted that he fixed the wifi tethering. Try to update and see what that does for you. I tried to fix permission on versino 3.97 and it didn't help. I tried terminal emulator b/c my wifi stopped working and that did fix that issue.
I just loaded it up, and still nothing. Now, when I try to turn on the hotspot, it just keeps saying 'Turning hotspot on...' and doesn't change. I tried connecting and it still is nowhere to be seen.
Are there any instructions out there for the terminal hack method, or a way that worked for you?
Hi,
My apologies if this is the incorrect section. I know the Virgin Mobile SGS2 is NOT the I9100 model, however the correct phone was not listed on this site (nearest is the T-Mobile model, but the options differ on their phone).
I'm experiencing an issue with trying to enable the wireless hotspot option for my phone. In every instance I have tried, I have received errors that ad-hoc failed to start and related problems. Let me make it clear that this version of the samsung galaxy DOES NOT have the option to turn on wireless tethering in the native settings menu (it's simply not there). My carrier most likely hid the option because it is an extra $15 a month to use the feature. I can, however, attempt to start the hotspot service with a third party app, but it runs for no more than 3 seconds and I get error 67:" Unable to connect to data network, turning off Hotspot..."
My phone is rooted and I have full access to edit system files (I did so to remove the ear-piercing camera shutter noise). I am using the stock rom and do not intend to flash a different rom to this phone. To lessen redundant suggestions that have been said hundreds of times and have failed to fix my issue, here is everything I have done:
Attempted to use FoxFi. All this app does is start the native hotspot capability on your phone, so I got the same error 67. No network connection. The network only appears for a split second when enabling the native hotspot setting, but since the phone turns it off, I can't connect to it.
Attempted to use Barnacle. I receive the error "Could not set ad-hoc mode of wlan0: Operation not supported on transport endpoint."
Attempted to use Wifi Tether for Rooted Users (for some reason this app is listed as "Not Compatible" for my phone in Google Play). Again, I receive an error that setting ad-hoc failed. All other services start successfully though, but the network does not appear for my PC to connect to.
Checked to make sure my 3G/4G is actually on and functioning.
Despite all this, I CAN utilize the USB tether feature just fine in PdaNet. It's the wireless hotspot that is eluding me. I know that flashing a different rom can get me around this issue, but I really would prefer to resolve this problem without doing that if it's possible. One thread I read said something about editing a .db file, but it was for an HTC phone and I'm a little wary to try it on my phone. I'm sorry for coming off rather cross, but I'm just a bit frustrated as every solution I find never works. It seems like this would be a simple thing to do. Is there a system file I can edit that will allow my phone to enable its native hotspot capabilities? Or something that will resolve the ad-hoc issue? Or am I blindly over-looking something obvious? If nothing will work except for flashing, then hey, at least I tried. It's not going to kill me if I can't get the wireless tethering to work, but it was one of the reasons I wanted to root my phone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
I randomly figured out the problem myself. Downloaded something on a whim and it actually worked. Let me go through each step so anyone else who has this same problem can try this out.
The majority of what I did can be followed here:
*Can't post the link. Thank you, forum restrictions... It's from a website called "highonandroid.com" so google that with the appropriate keywords (wifi tether, android, etc.).
But in case the link goes dead or something like that, here is a step-by-step reiteration:
1. Download Trev-E's mod for the Wifi Tether for Root Users app. I have the exact version I used attached to this post.
2. Install it, and immediately go to settings and make the following adjustments:
- Change device profile to "Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)."
- Change setup-method to "Netd-Ndc (master)."
- Tick the option "Send Netd Max Client Cmd."
- Tick "Wifi driver reload." The second one did not work for me, but try it if the first reload does nothing.
- Although the original tutorial says to tick "MSS clamping," this option is not available on my phone. But this did not stop the app from working.
3. Exit settings and hit the wifi icon. Fingers crossed it works for you!
After doing that, the app showed no errors in the log, the network name appeared on my computer, and I was able to connect effortlessly. Most importantly, the internet worked!
Also, enabling/disabling the tether DID NOT break my phone's wifi or 3G service. Everything ran fine when I stopped using the app and I didn't need to restart my phone. Putting this out there because I know some phones will trip out when enabling this feature. Good luck! And big thanks to xda's Trev-E for the app.
Thank you! That was driving me nuts trying to tether my GS2 to my tablet. I dont have the clamping option either but its working perfectly when nothing else has.
Nice instructions. I rooted my phone today (root virgin), downloaded the trev-e you have linked and got it to work. (Virgin Mobile Samsung Galaxy SII 4G)
I then tried to use encryption and the phone was just not having it, the internet connection wouldn't work anymore (laptop was connected but said there was no internet access). Frooze up the phone, had to reboot, frooze again, reboot, turn the feature off, freeze, reboot, pull battery etc etc. Finally have it working again with encryption off.
Pretty happy to have tethering working, but wish I could encrypt it haha.
Do I have the wrong TrevE using the stock ROM? (using the TrevE linked in this thread).
Now to learn what else to do in the wonderful world of being rooted...
*** EDIT- Looks like installing busybox fixed the issue!!
Thanks!
Awesome work, follow the instructions if you have virgin mobile it will work perfectly
Hi guys I really need some help here. Last night I set out to simply find a way to tether wifi from my GS3 for free. From my understanding that required me to root + download tether app with root admin rights. Apparently it appears to be more in depth than that unless I’m missing something simple. I’ll just start by giving you my specs and tell you what I’ve done so far. Sorry for the long post.
Sprint
Galaxy S3
SPH-L710
JellyBean 4.3
Hardware L710.14
Stock kernel and rom
Followed the steps in this link to root it. It pretty much walks me through using Odin to root the phone. Looks like it also installs SuperSU for superuser access. I like the fact that it’s not too invasive, which is great because I simply want wifi tethering and am not looking for a custom kernel or rom. http://honai-android.blogspot.com/2013/11/how-to-root-galaxy-s3-sprint-sph-l710.html
Supersu
When I start the phone it says “Unfortunately SuperSU has stopped”
Downloaded the apk, ran it, launched ok, asked me to disable knox and said yes, rebooted phone, got same msg that supersu stopped, runs fine after install apk but fails after every reboot. Maybe knox is screwing with it?
No supersu update on the play store
Regardless I installed root checker and says the device has root access…
I downloaded a bunch of tethering apps I thought had root access but none actually enabled tethering.
Foxfi
When I use CDMA only (used this for troubleshooting purposes) Launch Foxfi, activate wifi hotspot, “unable to connect to data network, turning off hotspot. Your plan may not have hotspot service”’
When I use LTE/CDMA the popup message is you are not subscribed to the Hotspot service. Do you want to see subscription options?”
When I cancel out of that popup it says FoxFI hotspot ready and has the wifi icon on the notification bar but can’t find the wifi network on devices
Also it never requests superuser
1 click wifi tethering free
Launch, click enable, the notification bar says hotspot connected but then I get the same error “unable to connect to data network, turning off hotspot. Your plan may not have hotspot service”, still can’t see the network on other devices
When I use LTE/CDMA the popup message is you are not subscribed to the Hotspot service. Do you want to see subscription options?”
Also it never requests superuser
Wifi Tether TrevE Mod v3.3
Launch, opens fine, asks for superuser access, click button to enable tethering, get an error in the app that says “tethering started with errors! Please check ‘show log’”
Clicking show log gives me an error of “Unable to open log file. File does not exist.”
It still shows a message “Tethering is currently running…” under the “ongoing apps” section but still can’t find wifi network on other devices
Jtether
Launch, “says turning Wifi AP on” requests superuser access, eventually gets to the same message that says “unable to connect to data network, turning off hotspot. Your plan may not have hotspot service”
When I use LTE/CDMA the popup message is you are not subscribed to the Hotspot service. Do you want to see subscription options?”
Oddly when I launch Jtether with FoxFI on I can see the FoxFI network for literally 1 second, but not long enough to connect. This only happens when I use CDMA only. When I use LTE/CDMA it never shows up at all.
.
I’ve uncovered a lot of issues but I don’t know where to start troubleshooting. Do I start with SuperSU errors or can they be omitted? Do I start with FoxFI error troubleshooting? Maybe start with finding out why TrevE’s tether mod has errors but log file can’t be found? Maybe the root method I used wasn’t ‘deep’ enough? If so what method should I use? I thought this would be way easier but hours and hours later, here I am with no wifi tethering. I hope you guys can help.
Thnx in advance!
