replaced my droid razr through assurion i have unlimited data and had my old device rooted and set up to do wireless tether.
its a 98.72.16 xt912 running 4.1.2 with 3.0.8 kernel
i rooted the phone tried market apps as well as apks for wireless tether and trev-e s mod with no luck
i romed the phone to artmod4.3 and tried more apks and apps no luck so
went back to square one un rooted re rooted with droid razr utility (thanks again mattlgroff )
tried apks and market versions they say they are working but do not emit any signal no wifi is given with any apps other than my basic easy tether usb.
i used root checker and verified the new root. im not sure what to try next i need to get my wireless tether back asap and have been looking into threads and other forums to see if anyone has insight or advice on any other approach to take ( free options preferably ).

Greetings from other sections of XDA...
Got a quick question... already searched and I believe I've found what I needed but would rather ask to be sure, since it's the lead developer's phone at work I'll be messing with... He's on stock ICS and want's to stay that way, except enable WiFi tethering... root is an option if it's needed...
So far I've found these solutions:
Root the phone, and load the Google tether app:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
FoxFi:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ch_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5mb3hmaSJd
He wants the software to stay EXACTLY as it is, but with tethering added, and doesn't mind root if it's required...
Any comments or suggestions?
I hve the Razr 912 and FoxFi works great without needing to be rooted.
I am using FoxFi as well and it is very reliable.

I also have a RAZR XT912 that I would like to enable WiFi tethering on. I assume I will have to root it. I'm on Verizon in the U.S. I'm reading through the RAZR forums now.
I use FoxFi for wifi tethering on my Razr MAXX. It is in the play market. I am rooted on stock ICS ROM but FoxFi says you don't need root.

I just installed Wireless Tether for Root Users [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=android.tether and it works great. Seems pretty fast even on 3G.
I rooted with the DroidRazrRoot.com_ICS.zip kit and that went smooth as well. You have to remember to install the Motorola drivers for the phone first and that was mostly waiting. This was on windows 7.
I recently got a driod razr for some reason it will not let me set the allow all devices and when I connect to the internet on my computer while tethering as a Mobile Hotspot it tells me that there is limited access. If anyone has any tips let me know thanks so much
Is your RAZR rooted? If so there are plenty of functional apps in the market.
Hey everyone I am new here and this is my first post, let me start off by saying I am new to rooting as this is my first rooted android phone, but have owned several android devices including Motorola droid 2, droid bionic, droid razr, with a mistake with the iPhone 5, and now trying out the new galaxy s4 out and back with an android device, with that being said I have rooted my galaxy s4 with VRUAME7 on it for one of the main reasons of getting free Wi-Fi hotspot to run my tablet off of. I have tried everything I know and can find info on to enable the hotspot with no luck even the trev mod Wi-Fi tether with no luck, can anyone help me out with this and any tips and so forth for using my phone rooted, thanks in advance

Only one that worked for me was FoxFi (Padnet) Uhh i think the free version is limited. I dont use any tethering myself but i normally use "Wifi Tether" and i could not get that working correctly. Could possibly be because the mobile hotspot is used internally by FoxFi but regular "Wife Tether" Might not have the permission writes possibly since we are only rooted

I tried using that mod and so forth following it step by step and I could not get it working properly, I got my phone a few days ago and it came with me7 loaded and im wondering if they have an added block on it, on the bright side I did find a post under another category of threads named wifi tether and there was a user that posted how he used portable wifi tether from the play store and he said install it run it and set up your encryption then to exit out of it, then to use it click the app and it will start when verizon throws up the error message hit the home button and only the home button, the hotspot stays on and running that simple, I tried connecting my desktop and ipad and it works properly as far as I can tell so far, I know I kinda answered my own question but figured I would share with you all as well, but any other pointers or cool apps are welcomed since I and my wife are both new to rooting as she also has a galaxy s4

I used FoxFi (the paid version) on my other S4 that is ME7 and had no problems with it. Just read their info in the Play store and it will tell you what to put in FoxFi to use it without the certificate and lock screen. You'll get the VZW message that you have to call and set it through them but you don't. Just leave the message up and the WiFi tether worked just fine.

I didn't look into how to get past the certificate with FoxFi. I just installed the certificate, setup the lock screen then I used Tasker with Secure Settings to disable the passkey. So far I've used FoxFi several times and haven't seen a lockscreen. I setup Tasker with a simple Screen On and a 24hr cooldown to run Secure Settings > Clear Password. Seems to work fine for me for those who are bugged by the FoxFi and password.
Hi everyone,
I would like to add wifi tether back to my phone, since I'm currently running 4.4 unrooted on my DNA.
My Droid DNA *isn't rooted* and I currently don't have any interest any ROMs or anything involving a full root. I very happy with stock at the moment and only miss the occasional WIFI tether. I have used FoxFi in the past and it currently doesn't support the droid DNA.
So what I'm thinking is just giving my phone temp root with weaksauce, and use a root access app like "WiFi Tether for Root Users" by Müller, Lemons, Buxton
* Install weaksauce + Super SU for root
* Install wifi tether app and use that
* Set wifi app to Generic WLAN 0 and check routing fix so it would tether correctly
* Use temp root and root app until foxfi comes out with DNA support
* uninstall super SU and weaksauce for it to be completely stock again
So would this work? Would root be removed if i just uninstall Super SU, then Weaksause? Has anyone used Weaksause on the Droid DNA? Is there something unstable with Weaksause, that makes it not practical for this? Is there a better wifi tether app for 4.4?
I can live without WIFI tether, but I thought this could be a handy trick to bring it back. If anyone has tried this or any of these steps, please let me know. Any help is appreciated, Thanks.
I used weaksauce to root/s-off my DNA. I can say that it was easy, and it is simple to reverse, I think it'd be safe to try!
Weak sauce work for me for temp root as well. Not sure about the rest of your strategy though.

The WiFi teather for root users app doesn't work on kit Kat as far as I know. They may have updated it but it wasn't working last month.

O wow, I wasn't aware of that.Thanks for that tip. I looked around on the market today, and didn't see any apps with 4.4 support... So I believe that is still the case.
-Now I know Weaksauce, is a solid way to get some temp root for apps only (no ROMs, and flashing)
-Weaksauce is super easy to install and remove
-And currently there is still no app (rooted or non-rooted) supporting WiFi tether on the Droid DNA running 4.4
I think I'll wait for FoxFi to come out with a fix for the Droid DNA. I don't think it should be that much longer because, they seem to have a fix on Samsung phones. I may use Weaksauce for some root access apps in the future, so thanks on that info.
Thanks Everyone
FoxFi now works on 4.4 for the DNA
FoxFi now has it working,so give it a try.

It does work on Kit Kat. I've used it on stock, without root, and it seems to work. It redirects you to the stock wifi tether, while its opening a free tether port, so you can manually turn it on there. It has trouble turning on sometimes, Do NOT hit the call Verizon for subscription button. It takes a little patience, so keep trying to launch and it'll go eventually. Turning off the tether works best when I turn it off through the stock wifi, rather than FoxFi. Hope this helps and let me know if you decide to try with root access or another ROM.
i have a cricket lg l70. 4.4.2 kit kat rooted ....teather wifi router working awsome....2.50$ on the play store..open app. if its not working for you. go to there help page and configure for ur devise...
