Hello, guys.
Help me please with my tethering problem.
I own Droid Razr M for two months and after buying it I did a rooting procedure.
Everything went fine, I've turned off entitlement_check and WiFi tethering worked.
After that moment I didn't check tethering. But today I realized that it is not working:
neither Bluetooth nor Wifi tethering.
Other devices are able to connect, dns-retrieving works, but data is not routed! (on Razr M I can access EDGE internet).
I've tried lot of tethering apps - none of them worked. But WiFi Tether with 'Generic ICS wlan0' worked!!!
I am on 4.0.4 firmware and I never upgraded (because new fw doesn't contain 'mass storage' 'connect as' feature).
Help me, please. What should I do to make both tethering work without using third-party applicaitons? I'm sure that is possible...
I sometimes have this problem as well. If I manually select a channel it starts working again. Not a permanent fix but it will maybe get you going again.

Nope. It didn't fix the problem. I've tried all of the available channels - no result... :crying:

I rooted my buddies epic today and installed wifi tether and we couldn't get it to work. The app was granted su permission and turns on, but no PC or other wifi phones can find it. Any ideas? Trying to leave him on a stock rooted rom because he has no idea what's going on. Thanks.

Wireless Tether from the market doesn't work, you'll need a different version. Uninstall the one from the market and install the latest one from here (pre11 works for sure, but the newer ones should also): http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list

Try turning on access control and add the computer to it. That's always worked for me.

I think your issue is that Wireless Tether creates an ad-hoc network, and most (if not all?) Android devices cannot connect to ad-hoc networks (at least without some work). It's working fine, just the Evo cannot connect to it. You would need a laptop or something else. As suggested, try MobileAP, since it works in infrastructure mode.
I pulled the .apk file from the syndicate rom and that one worked with no issues at all.
Attached are the files I used. I put them on my SD card and installed. Up and running with no issues.
This is what you gotta do.. get it all installed and open it... then hit "menu" followed by "access control" ...when that page pops up, at the top right corner there's a box that's unchecked... check that box... now trn on the tether, alow a minute for the computer to pick it up then try to connect... when it pops up it'll show "androidtether" as the name... connect to it... at this point it'll ask your phone for permission, so slide down the statusbar and click on the little image that pops up... it'll take you back to the "access control" page and beside where the computer just showed up, click the little box and it should start tethering at that point... hope that helps...
Note: these steps are for the apps listed in post #2 that you download from google.

To get wireless tether to work, you need to go to the WT Google code website and download the latest beta version.

If it was me, I'd check to make sure you're broadcasting SSID on your router. For some reason, at least this is the way it is for me and I would be really baffled if it wasn't happening to everyone else as well, these android devices (I have an EVO and a GT), have a problem with connecting without it being able to see the SSID broadcast. All of my other devices (laptops, desktops, etc...) have absolutely no problems either way (broadcasting SSID or otherwise) connecting to my WiFi setup. Just the adndroid devices.
I had same problem not sure how i fixed it. But i reflashed everything like 1st time
I think it will b the modem file.
BUT check your wireless setting first

Can someone point in the right direction where I can turn my phone into a wifi hotspot for free. I have tried wireless tether but doesn't seem to work, thanks in advanced.

are you rooted?
wireless tether works fine. Try disabling encryption and/or access control and see if it works that way
Yes I am rooted but I haven't tried what you suggested. Thanks and I will give that a go.

OK, so I tried everything you told me about but it still doesn't seem to work. Here is my situation, I recently got an iPad and want to use my phone as a hot spot so I can connect on the go. The wireless tether turns on but neither my mothers eve or my iPad seems to connect to it properly. They do connect but it doesn't let me do any kind of web browsing. Thanks again for any help.
Which app and version are you using?

Works fine for me... Not sure what the problem would be. Sure access control is off? When you connect your pc, what color is the shield that pops up in your notification bar?

This seems to be the problems on a number of roms. They only way I've been able to get my wifi tether to work is when I've been bone stock. I don't know what might be broken in the process of cooking up the roms for us but something is breaking it. I get the same issue. It connects to my phone but I get no internet signal. Access control and encryption off. Tried changing the ssid and that hasn't worked. They've been tryin to figure out what the problem is on the IRC channel

What rom are you using...I have no problems running wifi tether with mikrom
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
Again, thanks for all the help. I have tried switching to mikrom and still a no go for me. I have tried everything from changing ssid to trying different channels. Any know of just a rooted bare bone stock rom?
Sent from my Evolution
Not why it doesn't work but now I am on a bare stock rom and still a no go. I have tried connecting my moms evo and it just sits trying to obtain the ip address but for some reason it just never connects.

As of last night im no longer able to use barnacle, wireless tether, or open garden. I've been running EF 3.6 since its release and just a week ago barnacle worked fine. Now when I connect it continues to say nat down and restarts. The only thing I can of is maybe I updated barnacle and its glitchy but that wouldn't explain why the other two aren't working. Out of ideas, and Im wondering if a noob like me can get some answers.

Have you tried restarting your phone? It could be that the WiFi is in a screwed up state. Enabling and then disabling wifi in Settings might also be able to sort it out.
Yeah I've restarted and reset wifi multiple times to no resolve. I think ill just wait until there is another update for barnacle then see what happens. Like I said though it still doesn't explain the other two not working. Any more suggestions though? I hate it when something works then stops for unexplaniable reasons...

This is exactly what it says when I try barnacle. Nat:restart: network is down. Waiting for uplink interface....and when I try garden or wifi tether it lets me connect my laptop with win 7 (the only device I've been trying) and everything looks fine but no data is transferred. Soo weird.

Barnacle works fine for me, neither wifi tether nor open garden do. I know that doesn't help you resolve the issue, but it may hint that the issue isn't with the barnacle version.
Im thinking most of the success people have with OG/WT are on different phones or a previous version. I tried to install an earlier version of both and it told me that I had insufficient space which was complete bs. When I tried the latest version it locks up constantly and apparently hates it when you try to change a setting while the wifi is activated.

My Wifi will not work, not sure as to why. It shows that I'm connected but can't surf or use xda. I tried rebooting my router and still nothing. Anyone else having trouble?

My friend had this problem, but his just randomly started working the next day. Others have also said try factory resetting your router, uninstall any newly installed apps/mods, or if your router has, "Wireless Intelligent Stream Handling", to disable it.

Thanks for the pointers, I'll give it a shot when I get home. Hopefully mine will just start working like your friends.
