On my phone before last (GS3) I was able to share my computer internet connection via USB. It was called reverse tether but I believe I had to root to enable.
Has anyone had any luck achieving this functionality on the Z3v with or without root?

Do they require root? Never understood why this isn't a standard feature, it's just like using WiFi except wired.

standard features are decided according to their to their abundant usage. If maximum users need it, then it will be standard.

We are talking about REVERSE tether, which means that we want to use a computer internet connection to have internet on the phone.
It SHOULD be a standard feature as it is so easy to implement ! Some older version of android were allowing this easily and some phone maker were puting this as an option, now it's a hassle with LP !

Thanks for info. Bummer these all require root but I'll probably bite the bullet and root soon. My company doesn't allow WiFi and I'd like to save data while at work.

That is also my purpose as we don't have wifi at work. I tried on a Z3 stock rom LP 5.0.1 and it's not working... Could be because my internet connection has to go through an http proxy
Hi!
I was also looking for a way to reverse tether on my unrooted device. I could not find anything, so I developed my own solution, ReverseTethering NoRoot. Thread over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/u/best-apps/app-reversetethering-noroot-t3316716

Your easy method is not to have security on your router .
Unless you where looking to steal wifi .

Sooo, I guess not, there isn't any tethers.
yes, it wil be app that you can develop and sale for million of million profile.

Really? .. really? No, really!? You serious? Ok than it's really ...
Are you saying that you want to be able to connect to any wifi access point, without having to enter the password?
Is it your wifi, or someone else's?
Before flaming xeuronix completely: there are apps for jailbroken iPhones that can calculate securitykeys automatically for several badly-configured wireless routers (they have a default key that is generated by parsing the serialnumber of the router through a formula... And then use the serial as SSID...)

To the OP... no you cannot connect to a secure wifi...if you dont know the password...
regarding jailbroken iphones or any other device...
the SSID of the router is just the wireless ID which can be set to be broadcast or be hidden...that doesnt get you anywhere...
one has to know the password period
another point is that be it an iphone or a high spec gaming rig...the way it will talk to the router will be same...same protocols..same encryption algorithm...

Not going to happen (easily).
You could use a packet-sniffer to grab the keys but that's not going to happen on your phone (as far as I know, no one's ported the linux app over?)

Yep... And what I ment: some providers were dumb enough to let their fully equiped routers use a key that is based on the unique SSID of the router: faulty design, rendering wifinetworks that use default settings at risk for attacks...
Someone already made an app for jailbroken devices to automate the process of using this exploit.
Hence the question of Xeuronix is not so dumb after all: seems logical for such app to exist on android and not on iOS, instead of viceversa.

Finally someone talking sense in this forum. Thanks dude.
There are 2 programs that provide you with default passwords of specific routers like Thomson, Speedtouch and some others. The first one is called Penetrate and the other one is called Router Keygen. If you want to sniff data and eventually get a WEP key then you will nedd Backtrack which has been ported on Android but without the sniffing tools yet. And the phone's wifi adapter has to support sniffing
Free WiFi access? Hmmm......that would be nice! If there is such a program which works on SGS II, then I think there would be many takers for it
yes this would be great. then you could hack the planet. ...
Can the LG Optimus One P500 be reverse tethered i.e. when the mobile is connected to a PC with the cable then the phone can access the internet via the PC.
My HTC Incredible S used to do this and I did search a bit before posting this but I couldn't find a way to make my LG Optimus One P500 do it. Any suggestions?

Reverse tethering will allow me to use internet available on any machine even while I'm in transit. Think laptop+data card

That works if your laptop has WiFi. Sometimes I have an old laptop with me which doesn't have WiFi or I'm visiting a friend who doesn't have WiFi. Reverse tethering hack would really help out.

Using 3.0 pre 14 and it just works.
Maybe you guys should try and verify you are rooted....use root check from the market.

I installed the market version of Wifi Tether (currently 2.0.7):
https://market.android.com/details?id=android.tether
It worked for me to a limited extent, but many features, including big ones like encryption and infrastructure mode aren't compatible with the Photon.
here is the link to the beta that isn't in the market yet. Works perfect and has encryption as well as other bells and whistles.

Most android tablets can't connect to adhoc networks. The photon creates a adhoc network. You have to root your tablet and change the wpa_supplicant file. Search the tablet forums for "wpa_supplicant" instructions.

Thank you!! I've been looking for a good tethering app with my new Photon, and haven't had much success in finding one that works - looking forward to trying this one out!

Interesting that I never noticed this before but I got a No Access Control message when I start Wireless tether.
"Sorry but your kernal does not have all necessary features for the Access Control feature of this application. Access Control will be disabled."
Was using Beta 2 but downloaded the Beta 4 version. After seeing that message I hit ignore and never saw it again.
Anyone else see that message.

OK - so I got it to work - it turns out that some windows 7 drivers are buggy as hell - especially for the intel wireless network cards - I installed a different driver (a generic one as opposed to the actual driver for my wifi card) and tethering now works.
Doesn't wifi tether for root have an infrastructure mode option? I thought it did.
Edit: Nope, it doesn't. Also can't use access control options at this time.

I am trying to figure out how to turn on the built in WIFI tether similar to my One X and older phones I had.
Using SQlite editor
Dialer Storage
2) telephony.db
3) carriers
4) 12 Entitlement 310410
you should change the value under "apn" from "broadband" to "pta"
This is how to enable it on the One X for example. Can anyone help out to figure this out? I know there are apps available to use, but I wanted to use the built in one.
I have also been trying to find this out. I tried the Droid Bionic/Razr way but couldn't find anything. :|

Foxfi doesn't work yet as far as I know. And tethering widget won't help as it's just the equivalent of turning on the built in hotspot. To get the built in hotspot to work on these it requires changes to the framework because the Hotspot is built into it. Til someone figures it out ur best bet is to root and use WiFi tether for root users or drop a couple bucks and get klink or pdanet

My guess is gonna be a never. I don't see how an app that doesn't use root access can bypass the Verizon check. If I remember what I read correctly that change resided in the framework-res.apk
If rooted/unlocked then yes there is a mod which enables the native tethering

Yes you can. Pre 4.3 you could use several apps to access the native Hotspot feature with out having to actually have the service. With the 4.3 update all these apps are now broken and there's a message saying you're not subscribed to the Hotspot service.
Awesome thanks for providing the link. Can this be flashed on a stock rom with locked bootloader? I allowed my phone to do the OTA update not thinking about the bootloader lock :? grrrrr. I did get the phone rooted just not unlocked. If odin or stock recovery wont work any idea as to how I could get it on the ohone. Maybe ADB?
I had thought the courts and the FCC had ruled that Verizon couldn't charge it's customers an extra fee for using hotspot anymore. Can anyone confirm/deny?

It was the FCC, and it only applies to people that have a data cap. VZ is still allowed to charge unlimited data folks.
