Anyone got it to work with their rooted phone?
I'm using CM 5.0.6 mod and I can't get it to work, just wondering if it's the ROM or I'm doing something wrong.
My error reads;
"Fail to connect to the Ineternet. Please make sure your phone has good data service and try again"
If you're rooted why don't you just use a one of the free tethering solutions instead of a pay app?

Is there a way to enable the usb tethering on the Hero? I've read sprint disabled this feather awhile back. I'm rooted and use wifi tethering but my aunt just got a Hero (loves it btw), is not rooted and asked me could she tether. I don' live close to her or I'd root her phone. Is usb tethering a lost cause?
Thanks

you can do it on the 2.1 update (maybe just roms based off the update?) but you need to flash a VZW pri. to do so you need root? (citation needed)
i use the native tethering in cm 6.0 and it works awesomely. almost seems faster than my RoadRunner

Yes I know all is possible with flashing, which in this case is not an option. My aunt is not nearly technical enough for a root & flash.
Before we get into different prls. What OS version is her hero.
She is on latest 2.1 ending in .6
PDAnet and EasyTether. Just tell her to pick one, download it from the market, follow the setup instructions, and then tether away.
Is there any Sense ROM with USB Tethering?
PLEASE HELP! I can't get my wifi tether to work on my mytouch 3g. the application says its on and working but i cant get internet access on my laptop, an other devices such as smart phones can't even see it. i used super one click to root my phone and then installed the wifi tether app. i have superuser and spare parts. i have rooted this phone before and it worked fine so i know the hardware is capable. any help would be greatly appreciated.

First of all, wrong section. I'll move to General where it belongs.
Secondly, does your rom support net filtering? If you don't know then at least tell us what kind of rom you're using.
i apologize, i did not change rom. its stock i only rooted to access a minor overclock and tether features. last time i rooted my phone i used a different method and had a caynogen 6 something rom froyo lookalike . and the stock rom the root i did last time did it also. if i need to load a custom rom then please let me know which one is best for the features i need

Ask the developer of your rom if the kernel supports netfiltering. If it's pure stock then that's your problem.
Update! Just an fyi. I got it to work very nicely simply by adjusting the frequency in the application's settings.
Just recently bought a Asus Nexus 7 and I find it an awesome device.
Unfortunately, I was surprised to see there is no option to turn my device into a wifi hotspot
or to share my nexus internet through USB to other computers.
thus I am now looking for apps that can help me achieve this
and would greatly appreciate anyone who has any recommendation for me..
p.s :- I tried wifi Hotspot and Foxfi (free version for both) but I can get neither computers no other mobile phones
to connect to the wifi hotspot they created through my nexus
Thank you.
Easy tether will let you share the internet with a computer using usb.

Easy tether.. got it..will try it out...
anyone else knows of a good one to use to wifi hotspot instead of usb?
no other apps?
Barnacle? Open garden? Pdanet? Foxfi? Easy tether?
I'm sorry..
my nexus 7 is running stock ROM..
it seems that with stock, the wifi hotspot is "blocked" or crippled or whatever..
now wonder when I used wifi hotspot of Foxfi, other devices can see my wifi but unable to access it..
I may need to root my N7, but I have never done rooting before and is a bit apprehensive in doing so..
trying to look up the easiest to understand guide as to how to root my n7 now..
additional info :- I am running android 4.2.2 and my N& build is jdq39
if anyone can point me to a guide to root my N7 with a little more ease, please do..
Thanks..
ok, i just saw this thread..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2150661
can anyone help confirm that this root ROM has the function to let me wifi hotspot with my nexus 7?
Also, if I were to successfully root.. am I able to return this to stock ROM if ever I feel the Root not to my liking?
Is there a hotspot hack for rooted mje? I rarely use unless cable goes down but it's nice to have a backup. I'll wait on rooting if there's no hotspot hack.
Or does wifi tether for root users work?

Yes there is, any of the current available ROMs have an available WiFi hotspot that works without any issues.

thanks for the reply now do I have to use a rom kinda wanted to stick with stock rom. Unless I don't have to use safe strap I never liked the idea of using up space on my device.

I'm not sure if it works on the stock ROM anymore. SafeStrap does not take up much space at all and Beans ROM is basically a pimped out version of the stock ROM with a bunch of additional features and less bloatware.

fwiw on MJ7 I have tried Android wifi tether and also that market hotspt toggle widget app (video), and neither of those seemed to work with rooted stock MJ7. But FoxFi works ($7.95 to avoid free version limitation), and so does "Tether Setting" (noboru)*. The latter is free, but only does WPA; but it requires far fewer Android Permissions than FoxFi.
Don't feel bad about being conservative. I've got rooted-stock-MJ7 in a secondary Safestrap slot and virginal (but rooted) MJ7 in the stock slot. For now, when I screw around with debloating or freezing, I only do that in a dev slot. Lame, right?
YMMV on MJE.
*for this one you might also need to use the trick where when the "you don't have a subscription for this" screen pops up, you just ignore it by using the Home key (rather than cancelling it).
.
I too would like to stick with the stock rom. I don't mind rooting, so is there an apk that I can install so I can tether?
Got my phone and tried Foxfi, and it works! I'm on MJE
I do miss Android Wifi Tether, just because it gave me a good idea of how much data I had used.
Has anyone had success using "WiFi Tether Router by Fabio Grasso" ?
This supposedly allows tethering also...
I pay for unlimited data through sprint, but this does not include tethering. On the custom roms I've used, it's always worked out of the box, but now that I'm on a stock rom, I get a 'your device does not support this service' message. What's the tweak the custom roms are using to bypass this? I've searched like crazy, and the only thing I've found is an instruction to modify a line that my build.prop doesn't have :crying:

If you are rooted you just need to add the following to build.prop (I put mine at the bottom.)
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
Reboot and profit.
You da best, totally worked!

No problemo, been using that build.prop edit since my first Android, Motorola Atrix.
Mine worked with out any mods for some reason I'm stock rooted Verizon unlimited plan but I will keep this saved in case I ever need it.
