I'm trying to get the Foxfi(fully paid) or Wifi Tether to work on the optimus G (AT&T). I've used the CurrentRoot.bat and paid for the FreeGee app. However, every time I try FoxFi it gives me the Tethering Failed message of "Tethering is not allowed for downloaded apps," and Wifi Tether appears to start up fine, but it doesn't broadcast a signal/transmit and when I turn it off it says "stopped with errors." If I could get some help before I dive into flashing ROMs, that would be most appreciated.
Just remove entitlement check by using sqleditor and you don't even need any apps.

I just got a LG thrive, Im using my post-paid sim card from a Inspire 4G in it. Im trying to get the wifi tether working. I tried using quick setting but it crashes the phone. I tried using the hot spot widget but it also crashes the phone. I also tried using a modified apn from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980591 it worked on my Inspire 4G, but it either says "There is a temporary network problem that prevents the enablement of mobile hotspots" or " Authentication was unsuccessful. To enable mobile hotspot on this device go to att.com/mywireless" I have been searching and trying to figure out this problem all afternoon. On th stores demo thrive I was able to get it working after two minutes and only one crash. I have already installed pdanet, not sure how well it works on this phone since I have yet to test it, but i would really like to get the wifi tether working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Someone has to know something...
Sent from my LG-P506 using XDA App
Anyone working on getting it to work for LG-P506 (LG Thrive)? Or know of any methods to get it to act as a wireless hotspot? I've tried Quick Settings and it restarts the phone but haven't tried Easy Tether yet because I don't even know if it enables shared WiFi and uses a USB connection to share it.
I was able to down load easy tether from the market place when I took the sim out and went to the market on wifi. It wouldn't let me do it with the sim in. I haven't actually used the app yet because I usually use my iPad or galaxy and rarely use the laptop anymore. But it did work with the backflip and that phone is big time locked down.
USB tethering: Authentication was unsuccessful
I have the same problem. LG thrive says:
Authentication was unsuccessful
There is a temporary network problem that prevents the enblement of the Mobile hotspot function. Please retry later.
and it is the same error for USB tethering or portable Wifi hotspot
Have anybody solved this? Any sugestions?
heres the tutorial on how to tether wifi and usb forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1218943
Has anyone figured out a way to get the pre installed hotspot working? i have tried similar guides from the newer droids and older gingerbread ''hacks'' attempts have been disappointing the ip address response error comes up no matter what i try wifi tether beta and the one from the market will not show up for my xoom which makes them useless at the moment. have tried radiocomm ''hacks'' for data workarounds no luck either ugh. thanks
any luck with that?

It somehow forces the sprint hotspot to activate, which allows for infrastructure mode. Ignore any errors at start up.
While this won't make the stock app work, you can root your phone and use the Open Garden Wifi tethering app which works with 3G, 4G and is much more customizable.
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.

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.
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!
