I heard that foxfi 2.12 now supports jellybean devices, but supposedly only Verizon ones thus far. Has anybody running jellybean on their LTEVO been able to get foxfi or anything else to work without root?
When I turn on my foxfi, it automatically launches Sprint Mobile Hotspot, and it overrides Foxfi because devices trying to connect see the Sprint Mobile Hotspot instead of Foxfi.
Workarounds? Tips? Advice?

With all due respect , do you think I would have bothered to create this thread to ask a question if I was willing to root? Please, no trolling
Before I rooted, I looked and looked and couldn't find anything other than FoxFi that would do it. After I updated to JellyBean, it didn't work. That's the main reason I rooted, and now that I did root, I would never not root a device again, it's so much better. Your options are:
A) Pay Sprint $20 a month for a hotspot
B) Root
C) Downgrade your software (which I don't think is possible without root)
D) Wait for FoxFi to update some more
E) use PdaNet+ and only use USB tethering
F) Not have a Hotspot

Model: HTC Evo 4G LTE

Best thing to do is root.
you can't make a phone do what you want if you aren't willing to get the privileges to do it. it's like having an admin account on your computer....wouldn't you rather have full control instead of being restricted?
If you're worried about harming your device, then just be extra careful and follow the directions step by step. past that, you're stuck with what you've got.
keep in mind that s-off is not the same as root. I think you SHOULD go s-off, but at least get your device to be YOUR device.
so if i follow this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38UOPSoJOPs after that i can load whatever ROM I want and stuff, right?
I'm not sure if the method in video is still compatible with recent software updates.
Head over to the development threads and the stickies and there are threads on how to root, and video links. There are good guides and lots of good info.
I too, consider root a necessity for android devices.

Well, what went wrong exactly? I also rooted and S-offed mine last night, albeit, successfully... PM or email me and I will help you out if you want.
I bet you didn't get TWRP to stick... Ran into some things myself.
USB
I've tried to USB tether with FoxFi/PDAnet but the option is not available; only WiFi tethering is allowed. I would rather not use WiFi (less secure, and slower than USB from what I've heard). Can someone help me get this working? Below are my specs:
Rom: BeanStalk
Kernel: stock
Bootloader: HBoot 2.09 S-Off Moonshine
Recovery: TWRP 2.6.3.0
OS X 10.9.1 - Mavericks / Parallels Win7
Well I just got a Galaxy Note 2 on Sprint. I on the unlimited plan and I get 5GB of hot spot usage. For the first 2 weeks I was using foxfi and the data was being recorded as non hot spot data. Just seen now that for the last week foxfi is now using my hot spot data. What changed and is there a way I can teather with out data being recorded as hot spot usaged?

Let me start by saying I take no credit for discovering this I am simply passing along information I found that I thought may be useful... I actually stumbled across it here... http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=1057&q=evo 3d
Not sure if this has been brought up but I figure this will help until these issues are resolved. Basically you have to download both barnacle wireless tether and wifi tether 3.1 beta 2. In order for wifi tether to work you first have to start barnacle tethering, once it starts close it out then start up wifi tethering and voila you should connect. I have tested this with both 3g and 4g and connected and transferred data on both. You only have to open barnacle once unless you reboot. If you reboot or restart your phone, you have to start barnacle again, close it and then start wifi tether. I have no idea why or how this works but it does. Hopefully somebody more skilled than I can figure out what is happening as it doesn't seem to be kernel related as originally thought. Would love to hear back on results and maybe devs ideas as to how and why this works.
I can confirm also I have temp root couldn't get WiFi tether to work and my tab doesn't do ad hoc. It's working fine now thanks

I have s-off and perm root. Tried this every way I can think of. Doesn't work. Tried it with the latest 3.1 beta. Tried it with your pre-14 link. Set desire-cdma and routing fix. Just doesn't work.
Are you sure you're not on 4G and that's why it is working for you? I mean, it does connect and it acts like it "wants" to work, but no go. Trying to connect to any website via the tether is just nada.

Glad this helped some of u. I'm the guy who discovered the weird way to get wifi tether working by using barnacle. I posted it here a few weeks ago http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15599383#post15599383
Then I posted the issue on google code so that the dev would do something about it.
It's really bugging me since I have to turn off my phone everyday b/c there is no signal at work. Then I have to do the barnacle trick everyday. I cannot get cable/dsl/fios at home so I have to use wifi tether everyday. Sucks ass, but it's better than satellite. I think I'll wait a week till perm-root & roms are mature and flash something with the native hotspot unlocked. If you prem-rooted then u should just flash a rom now.
BTW I only use 3G obviously.. since I don;t live in the city and Clear doesn;t know how to run a business. I've tried wifi tether pre14 and the other versions which worked..i just stick to the latest. If u still can't get it to work try using device profile thunderbolt or evo 4g. I think I've been using evo 4g.

I'm assuming you are temp rooted, and I believe this is why pre 14 is working. I took the ota updates before rooting permanently and none of the WiFi tether work unless I use your trick. So its either a temp root thing or an ota thing.

Tried this and no go on either my laptop or the Asus. It connects but no data is transferred. I started a thread about people not being able to connect with WiFi tether and many people have same issue. It seems like it boils down to a few things. One, did you temp root before permanent root? Did you take all the otas before rooting? I never temp rooted, did permanent root. I also took all otas and no matter what I do I can't connect with WiFi tether unless I do the barnacle trick first. See my thread weird way to connect WiFi tether. I appreciate your help.

I have a Transformer tethering up nicely with my 3VO. Stand by and I'll post the links for the version of wifi I used. I think I may have to pull it from the phone as if I remember correctly it was a beta they pulled ...
Ok here is the only one I could get to work.
I used auto for device profile and auto for the setup, then have encryption selected, I also selected the routing fix. Just make sure under setup method when you start it that it isn't on "ad-hoc" as the transformer cant use that without rooting. Oh and also make sure the channel it defaults to is a low number, I think the transformer can only use up to channel 9 unless rooted. Don't quote me on that as I'd have to look it up to make sure. Rooting the transformer is pretty easy using the nvflash method so thats always an option for you too. feel free to pm me if you have any further questions.
Let me know if this works for you, like I said I have it up and running fine.

I took all ota's and then had this working while temp rooted, tested after full root and it works nicely still. I also applied xHausx's MTU tweak and now have it working on 4g and 3g.

Barnacle worked for me on both temp root and permanent root. Ive accepted all updates on the Asus but they didnt have any effect. Its always worked for me. Also check out the hotspot unlock for the 3D. I can tether to the transformer that way as well.
Which hotspot hack did you use? Does it work on 3g and 4g for you? I'm going to test that out later today I was going to try all 3 methods (which I am sure are all the same) seems like a better way to do it to me. Of course I'm a minimalist when it comes to apps.
edit: Joels hotspot works perfect, although you have to be on a deodexed rom.

How did you get the Asus to see barnacle? Is your Asus rooted? My Asus is stock not rooted and doesn't see adhoc therefore not seeing barnacle.

It is rooted now. Is that something they changed? I swear I thought it was working before it was rooted too though? Ive been using Barnacle since temp root came out for the 3D. And just rooted the Asus last week. I could be wrong. If being rooted will make it work, then yes mine is.
That's very strange ... wish I could help more, maybe try this out it is the hotspot unlock that also works for me. You just need to be on a "deodexed" rom. I'm using viperboys rom and it works fine too. It might be easier just to take the plunge and nvflash prime 1.6 to your asus ...

Depends on the ROM but if the rom you are using has the ad-hoc tweak then yeppers thats why it sees it.
Ahh thats from Joels rom, just tried it and works for me too, thanks!
so what's the easiest solution to get tethering to work for someone who updated firmware of the phone to latest version to get rid of random reboots?
how would one get tethering to work? do i have to root it? can i do it somehow without rooting it? like there was a hack for droidx or something similar?
and if root the only one choice which is best tested app to use for that?

Root and use wireless tether
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
two options really...
First... If you are STOCK, then pay VZW to add the Mobile Broadband Connect feature (aka Mobile Hot Spot) to your account, and use the Built in Mobile Hot Spot app.
Why do this? you don't have to root or anything.. and you wan to abide by VZW's Terms of Service (TOS).
Second.. If you are rooted and/or using a custom rom, then use the link that Deltaechoe posted to install "Wifi Tether for Root"
Why do this? You just want to tether and don't care about VZW's TOS, or you accept any possible consequences for violating VZW's TOS should they decide to take action (I'm not saying VZW will do anything, but there is always that chance so use at your own risk... And I'm not going to debate if its right, wrong, ok, not ok, etc).

Just curious how that makes Synergy unique if Wifi Hotspot has been in CM7 for months? :shrug:
im rooted and using Barnacle. Seems to work okay cuz i was able to make this post.
will I still have the speeds provided by the tethering?
I want to keep my phone as stock as possible, but I want to unlock the HotSpot feature. If I root my phone, is that all that's needed to get the HotSpot to work, or is there more that I have to do?
I'm trying to do this for my phone, and my Dad is looking to get one as well.
Thanks in Advance!
And can I root it without having to flash a custom ROM?
I'd suggest rooting, and flashing cleanROM, pretty stock with crap removed, sprint hotspot unlocked. Or you can always pay sprint $30 a month extra.. And yes you can root while keeping stock rom FYI

So, if I JUST root my phone, it won't unlock the HotSpot? If I root it, and leave it on the stock rom, can I just run an APK for an unlocked Sprint HotSpot app?
No you won't be able too. You need to flash a stock ROM with hot spot unlock. Or you can download "wireless teather" from the market.

Why not go into that section and take a look? Pretty much all of them explain exactly what is included or removed from their ROM.
There is a zip floating around in the Shooter rom thread that will add unlocked hotspot to a rooted stock phone. It's not clearly labeled. Search that thread for posts by the creator of the rom, and read the posts prior to figure out what they're saying.
Many people are losing their settings menu when they unlock the hotspot so it's probably better to just wait until they figure out what they're doing. Also, it doesn't work on 4g.
Here is a quick question.....
what is the real difference between Sprint Hot spot and Wireless Tether????? Can we get caught using Sprint Hot spot????

no you can't get caught using either one.
Wifi Hotspot is sprints app fairly straight forward and easy too use. Most roms in the Evo 3d Section have the wifi hotspot unlocked.
Wifi Tether, add USB tether along with wifi tethering, no need to flash any rom, very basic looking app.
Team Xrons Rom will be out soon it's stock it's as can be with some speed tweaks im running it now and im loving it.
I just got my gf a new 3d and it came with the latest hboot. The only thing she uses root for is to tether her nook color. I want to know if there is a way to do this without root as she is happy on the stock ROM and she its hesitant to have me tinker with her phone. I have a 3d also but was fortunate to have it on 1.4 so it is roores and on cleanROM which is awesome. I've searched for this but nothing I've found seems to work. Have tried Foxfire and wifi tether but both were a no go with both wifi and Bluetooth.

no...without having to pay sprint there is no other way... you must unlock the bootloader ad install the superuser app...to gain free wifi tether.... its not hard to do its fairly simple and almost un brickable bc of the partitions you can not write to with hboot 1.5

Unlocking 1.4 was super easy but I've read 1.5 can be a pain and that its difficult to change the kernel. If I use the HTC unlock tool does it make things easier?

This might sound stupid and the OP will not do this as rooting is much simpler way for him. I m posting this just for info.
