So I was having issues with my phone and decided to start from scratch... I put it back to stock and then rooted it and installed wireless tether. I tried version 3.1 beta 14, 2.0.8 pre1 and 2.0.7 and neither of them worked. I start it up, get it running and when my laptop tried to connect, an error message pops up that says 'Windows was unable to connect.'
My next step was to install a new ROM. I installed MOF 2.3.5.ish from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1648297 - I get the same error as before.
The next step was to try a different tether app. I was able to use EasyTether and it worked using USB which is one step closer, but the wireless still doesn't work. When I try to do wireless, it gives me the message below:
Hotspot/Tethering Error
Unable to connect to data network; turning off Hotspot/Tethering. You may not be subscribed to the Hotspot service; please contact your phone company.
So am I stuck having to use USB to tether or can someone help? Let me know if you need any more info. Thank you.

Try FoxFi. Can't get it via Google Play because of the Sprint block but can download the apk from the website.
To get Wireless Tether for Root to work did you follow the correct procedure for the Photon (such as changing the settings, disabling/enabling data, etc.)?

I'll try FoxFi.
What settings need to be changed?
FoxFi works. Thank you for the suggestion.
I am still curious as to why the other apps don't work though.

Typically for Wireless Tether for Root app need to change device to Samsung Galaxy S & then setup method to Netd(master). Depending on the device you are wanting to connect the channel may need to be changed as well. Also, probably get IP errors so to connect in infrastructure.......kill your data connection...start tethering...restore data connection.
Other apps are easier. According to others Open Garden Wifi tether app works as well. FoxFi for me has been the easiest and connects my tablet without issue.
i think it has to do with the 2.3.5 update.
it used to work for me but no longer does and i believe sprint may have asked motorolla to close the loop hole.

Foxfi is easier to use then wifi tehter... im not sure about performance but very straight forward

I have it, and got it from the market, where I can still get it, but it doesn't run - I get the error mentioned above.
I also recently started getting the OP error. Everything was fine until I flashed 2.3.5.ish. I will try flashing back to stock and see... I think its the 2.3.5.
sorry, just saw cannot post question here, but i cannot find delete. please help to remove it.
Tried both usb/wifi tethering, the PC connected can get IP address, but cannot connect to Internet, such as ping google.com failed.
Is it common?

Anyone tried the VPN on ZHALI8 Stock?
I've not able to connect PPTP.
I have done this before but have forgotten since reinstalling my rom, i had modified some file i think to allow my Xperia Go to connect to an AD-HOC wireless network. Can anyone remind me the procedure? (answers get +thanks )
Hello.
I flashed custom rom on my Desire S - newest CodeFireX. After that I tried to enable usb tethering function, but it gave me no internet connection on PC (network icon was showing that everything is ok, just pages couldn't load.) and also my HTC didn't have internet connection. I tried another rom, IceColdSandwich, and everything was like before. I installed drivers for my HTC one more time, that didn't help, then I was flashing few other roms like CoolDroidEvolution, MIUIzero v9, Revolution - saga, and something I can't remember, and the result was still the same. One time, PC network was fine but phone still wasn't. Meanwhile i tried with tethering apps for both smartphone and PC. Tether app was showing that transfer is ok, upload and download was rising.. And in other app, download value stopped on 97 kb/s. I was searching solution for that problem, but i couldn't find anything like that. What should I do in this case? Any ideas?
Greetings
