Is it possible to tether a rooted droid incredible 4g running the stock HTC Sense image that STILL has the unlimited data plan (I got the phone just before they killed it last summer)? I have a stock droid incredible 4g (Android 4.0.4) that I simply unlocked the bootloader on and installed/flashed SuperSU from TWRP. I apologize if my terminology is off as I am new to this. I have installed both WiFi Tether and FoxFi and have had no success with either program. I may be configuring something incorrectly or it may not be possible given I'm still on the unlimited data plan. I assumed that rooting my device would somehow allow Wifi Tether to bypass whatever verizon blocks on the unlimited data plans to prevent tethering. I have googled everything I can with regard to this issue and have attempted all the recommended fixes with FoxFi (rename the SSID, reboot the phone, disabled WiFi, etc...). I do not know how to configure Wifi Tether (tried the defaults and a few combinations I found on google) and have found very little to assist further with it. There are multiple device-profiles and setup-methods to choose from in addition to a bunch of other options, and am hoping someone know specifically what I can do or have a combination that works. Any help would be greatly appreciated .
Simplified Questions:
(1) Is it possible to teather on a droid inc 4g with unlimited data?
***These Questions assume '1' above is true***
(2) Can this work in FoxFi, if so, how do I configure it?
(3) Can this work in Wifi Tether, if so, how do I configure it?
(3a) In Wifi Tether, I would need it set up to do a 'hotspot' not an ad-hoc network connection, no clue how to do this...
(3b) In Wifi Tether, which device-profile and setup-method should be used?
(3c) There are a number of options in WiFi Teather, which ones should be selected?
Solved
I continued to search and try settings and figured out what worked:
(1) Phone must be rooted
(2) Download WiFi Teather
(3) In Settings -> Choose HTC Rezound (LTE/CDMA/GSM) as the 'Device-Profile'
(4) Leave the 'Setup-Method' as 'Auto', which is the default
(5) Optional: Use 'WiFi-Encryption' if you'd like
(6) Set the SSID
(7) Check the box for 'Wifi-driver reload'
(8) Ensure 'MSS clamping' is checked (was by default for me)
(9) Ensure 'Routing fix' is checked (was by default for me)
(10) Start Tethering
The above should work...
Simple, if your on a sense based ROM just use open garden https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=og.android.tether
And in settings select either generic ICS or rezound I forget its been a while but I know it works flawlessly
On cm which I am just use the built in tethering very simple
I use WiFi Tether (currently using 3.2-beta2). Works great. Fast, no drops, etc.
While I am running ViperLTE, I see no reason why it won't work with rooted stock.
In fact... I'm using it right now

Which wifi-tether app are you referring to? From which author... As there are many different apps in the store. Thx
I also suggest freezing mobile hotspot and tetheringguard using titanium backup.

I believe the full title is "WiFi Tether for Root Users". For some reason, it seems to appear and disappear from the Google Play Store at random.
The best place to find it is at the code project home here: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/

i still don't seem to have gotten past the throttling... i have frozen these apps with not apparent change.
tethering works - i just don't get the same speed results when comparing my phone vs laptop. :dunno: i also note my area doesn't seem to have very fast 4g speeds compared to results i see posted on the internet.

I have found that signal strength/area is everything when it comes to speeds - tethering or otherwise. At work, I have intermittent 4G and my tethering speeds are so-so. I have to carefully put my phone in the right spot to get 4G, and that spot varies depending on the weather...
However, at home my signal and 4G are rock solid. 4G speeds, including tethering, are faster than my WiFi connection.

Thanks - I'm on Viper 2.2.0 and this is what worked for me. Before I updated the ROM a few weeks ago, I was able to use the older settings with the generic ICS profile and without Wifi-driver reload.

I've only had success with using my phone as a wifi hotspot with the Miks Rom, every other rom that I use, I've tried Barnacle, Wireless Thether for Root users and just about every other app available on the market but nothing works.

Good deal! Forgot to mention that usually you need to check off 'routing fix' and 'mms clamping' in the settings of the wireless tether app. Not sure if you already got that or not, but if you run into any issues, keep that in mind.
For me those apk's only work on 4G, never on 3G. Any idea what am I doing wrong?
(Yes I've tried checking and unchecking the Routing Fix and MMS Clamping (whatever that is) 100 times. And I've tried using "automatic" device selection vs. selecting the EVO 3D. And tried using DNS servers other than the default ones. Always the same result, no tethering with 3G.)

I just got home from NYC and on the bus I was tethering via 3G the whole time.
The routing fix: on
MSS Clamping: on
Device profile: HTC Evo 3D
WiFi Tether version 3.1 b5
I even had WPA2 encryption on so others couldn't steal my bw...
Worked fine the whole ride, even when it would drop to 1x due to coverage areas.
Hmmm... didn't work for me, I'm using the same version of WiFi Tether, I've tried that group of settings many times and tried them again just now. Same issue: 4G joy, 3G no joy.
Soooo... I gave WiFi Tether some tough love... While I've uninstalled and re-installed it many times with no joy, this time I cleared data (via Menu / Settings / Applications / Manage applications / WiFi Tether / Clear data) BEFORE uninstalling WiFi Tether. Then after re-installing, now it's working on 3G or 4G... I can switch 4G on and off multiple times and it all works. I'm not terribly optimistic that it will continue to work on 3G, but at least I know one way that it DID work and hopefully I could get it to work again if it fails... thanks for the help.
Any clue as to a bluetooth tether?
I understand that WiFi is faster but Bluetooth is cheaper on battery life.
I flashed Scott's Cleanrom ICS 4.2 and followed his instructions for the wireless tether.
When I go through all of that shouldn't I be able to go online with my laptop through the wireless tether on the phone? When I go into the available wifi networks my phone doesn't show up on the list.
Am I not understanding how this works?
Thanks-Dan
C'Mon guys, help a brotha out. 175+ views and no replies?
Thanks-Dan
Well, the answer is.... yes, probably. I'm not running that ROM at the moment, but ICS gave us the ability to tether in infrastructure mode, rather than merely ad hoc.
Having said that, there are variables out there that may be causing the issues you are having. I'm sure you have double-checked the settings and have set up wireless tether per Scott's instructions. So, here are your options (IMHO):
1) Try to find another tether app (such as Barnacle) to see if that might work.
2) Try to find an updated or different version of WiFi Tether.
3) Try the many different settings in WiFi Tether to see if they work for you.
4) Try a different ICS ROM to see if it works for you. (RezROM ICS does work for me)
5) Pay for Verizon's Hot Spot.
Good luck!
Thanks for the reply. I will triple-check all the settings again and go from there.

Go to www.downloadandroidrom.com scroll down to apk and click on it.
Next click on wifiteather.
Next click on wifi_teather_v3_0-pre14.apk
Close to the bottom of the page will be a Download Here link click on it.
If your using a PC place it on the root of the sd card if your using your phone make sure unknown sources is checked in the settings>applications menu.
Next go to the market and download and install apk installer.
Open apk installer on your phone and click on <ext_sd>
Next click on wifi_teather_v3_0-pre14.apk and click install.
After it installs click open and go to the menu sceen.
Go to settings and check Routing fix.
Next click on the access control and press on enable.
next click on the main screen to start wifi tether and click allow access from superuser.
Now check your wifi on your computer Android Tether should come up click connect.
Now on your phone go back to access control and your computer name should come up.
Click on your computer name and click apply on the bottom of the screen.
This sounds like a lot but it works.
Thanks guys, I had to rename the network and set the security. I thought I could just leave it unsecured but I guess not. It works now...
Thats good I never had to do that. But that is the only reason why I rooted my phone was for the wifi tether.
But ...
... Do any these options allow other mobile devices to see your hotspot? I'm running stock on my rooted Rezound. I tried WiFi / Wireless Tether, Barnacle, Open Garden, etc ... They let my laptop connect, but not mobile devices. I actually like Sense, and I don't really want to bother with other ROMs right now ...
Any ideas?

The only two ways I was able to achieve wireless tether with infracture mode was to buy the vzw hotspot feature and / or install an ICS ROM. I can attest that RezROM ICS handles the free wireless tether app flawlessly for me (after which I killed the VZW premium service).
Anyone having success? This is the make or break for me right now.
I have Portable WiFi Hotspot installed and it works perfectly.

Those with unlimited data plans do not get free tethering, it is blocked and requires you to pay for it.

There is always the chance of bricking when you flash anything. The universe could decide your house no longer needs power in the middle of the flash and you could be in a world of hurt because of it. Not likely though. Many (including myself) have flashed using this method with outstanding success. And as for advantages. Root is what I needed to get wifi tethering to work, remove bloatware, and run many purchased apps that required root.
I posted this earlier but will post it again for how I achieved wifi tethering:

Not true at all.
I have unlimited and i use portable hotspot which bypasses the VZ activation and I've never been charged.
The WiFi Tether - TrevE Mod method did not work for me.
However, this simple little app does work:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kr.core.technology.wifi.hotspot&hl=en
I guess the authentication system used by Verizon isn't all that robust, if all you need is a simple app that doesn't even require root to bypass the subscription check and start the native WiFi tethering. Heh.
I have this issue nonstop.. It's random and annoying..
I've gone an hour or two without problems and then all of the sudden 4g icon disappears and comes back over and over until I stop tethering and restart it.. and then it happens immediately.. If I keep restarting tethering eventually it will hang on without dropping out but it will start it's crap again eventually.
I could have sworn Trev-E caused the phone to do the same thing. I want to say the issue is the phone and or the radio firmware.. possibly the kernel?

Is there a thread on how to set it up properly to work on the VZW note2? It always crashes for me when I try to start it up.
These settings for TrevE Mod have worked perfectly for me on Vzw since the first day I rooted. Also, make sure you have the right version from 11/22/2012 and uninstall any old versions, apparently it does not upgrade very well. Good luck.

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.

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?

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.
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.)

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.

Not to mention video chats and other things where I need a much bigger screen.

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!

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?

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.

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.

* 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.

So I did all this and it says the tethering is working but I'm not seeing my Wifi connection on my laptop? Any suggestions?

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.
Does anyone have a working wifi tether for 4.4.2?

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

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.

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!!!
