Wifi tether broke after appying rom?

I tried 2 seperate roms. Experience and AOSP magic rom and both seems to break Wifi Tethering for me. When I start the app, it says unable to start try again. I've try to reinstall no luck either.

If you are using Epic Experience, the compatible version of Wireless tether is put on your SD card..
Use a file manager and find the folder called "Epic Experience" its in there. Do not install it from the market.

pre 8 and 9 work i believe (i use 9 but i think others include 8 which works on Epic).
i've heard that after flashing a new ROM you may have to go into settings > applications > manage applications > wireless tether and clear data. might want to try that

I figured out the problem. After applying the new rom, the Super User permission got erased. The quick fix for me was to re-root with super user to reset everything then it worked again.
Same goes with a lot of other programs that needed SU permission.

How to get the KA12/13 rom completely functional for r800x CDMA users

Hey guys I'm new! Nice to meet all of you.... here are some things you can do to make this great rom even more functional on the r800x.
1. WIPE YOUR SYSTEM ENTIRELY... Data, Cache, Dalvik.. the works. Install KA12 first, followed by doomlord's wifi modules (I used the most recent test release for the 2.34 verizon upgrade and they worked like a charm.)
2. Let the system boot up.. you will most likely get some kind of error, or it may take you to the setup screen... either way, at this point, return to CWM, and wipe your dalvik cache. Next Install the CDMA patch 9 (I used the non-modded version)
3. Install google apps, and any other KA12 zips you desire to flash. When you are finished flashing, clear both cache and dalvik.
4. Now install KA13 over KA12 system meaning DO NOT DO THE FACTORY RESET.
5. You may want to reflash the wifi modules, I do not know if it is necessary, but I did it to to be safe.
6. Reboot the system, and complete set up.
7. Using root explorer, go navigate to the system apps directory, and find a phile called SEMCtelephonyservice.apk (or something very much like that).. make sure root explorer is set mounted to R/W and then simply click on this app, and open it with the APK handler or simply click install. It will tell you this app is already installed, and you are replacing it. Say ok. Now go and try your dialer. You should only get one force close after making a call now, and it should go away forever after this... No more phone force close yay!!
8. While your in system apps folder, go ahead and delete the USBconnectivtyux.apk (or something like that) ... don't worry.. this has no effect on USB connectivity at all, it still works fine... and guess what.. NO MORE FORCE CLOSE WHEN YOU CONNECT USB!
9. With your wifi connected, go to the play store and download a free app called APN manager... install it. Once you have opened it simply import the APN settings for verizon onto your phone, and reboot your phone. Once rebooted,(you can turn off wifi now) open up your mobile network settings, and make sure you have mobile network data enabled... I allowed national roaming, I'm not sure if you have to.. then click the APN settings... you should see Verizon in there now. Make sure to click that circle to turn on those APN settings.. This will get your sms/mms up and running.
10. Finally, to get my 3G icon to show up I had to redownload the SETDNS app... I got the pro version... and when I enabled google DNS, I immediately got a 3g icon in my status bar. The second time I ran through this, I did not immediately get a 3g status icon.. If this is the case for you, just simply toggle airplane mode after setting the DNS, and your 3g should eventually kick in. If you do not get a 3g icon, my understanding is that your data works even though you can't see it, however you will have trouble downloading apps.

Thanks dude.

You're welcome
UPDATE: Unfortunately, since the newest KA13 update, this guide is irrelevant... hopefully this rom will be fully fixed for us CDMA users soon

Not necessarily... just don't update to KA13 if this worked for you on KA12.

[Q] Has anyone got T-Mobile wifi tethering to work?

I have tried many different apps and methods but I cannot get wifi tethering to work. I tried using xtether but it still looks like it's pulling from my 5GB tethering cap.
Has anyone figured out how to wifi tether from your mobile (non tethering) data yet?

Thank you --
I am extremely new to Android. My Note 4 is rooted but I don't know what TWRP is or how to use the contents of that zip file.
I'm beginning to research now but any help to expedite my learning would be much appreciated!

Go read on TWRP once you have that understanding install it then flash the fix reboot and your good to go. Your never to new/old to learn.

Working on it now. What I am wondering is, when I flash this thing in TWRP will it be an actual app that will appear in my app drawer? Or does it alter some system files to let me use the stock tethering application without limit?\
Also, I'm guessing I should disable the xtether module I have in xposed?

Once installed just open your hotspot ( or whatever T-mobile calls it) and use it as normal it will not count againstyour data tether it will work from your phones internet ie your tether data will not be used at all so stop paying for it

[Guide] Re-Activate Native Hotspot

I was able to find a solution to re-activating the native hotspot feature on my Honor 8. Before, if I went to turn on my hotspot I was told I needed to activate the service from ATT, which I never had to do on my old Android device (perks of being on EMUI). The solution I used camefrom the Honor 5x forums found here.
This will require your device to be rooted. A tutorial for unlocking your bootloader, installing TWRP, and rooting for the Honor 8 can be found here.
Once rooted you will need to download a root explorer (file manager) that will allow you to access your system files. I used Root Explorer.
Go to System/App and then delete the ATTEntitle folder.
After rebooting your phone you should be able to use your native hotspot tethering!

Do you think it's region and/or mobile operator related?

I purchased my phone from Best Buy (USA) Unlocked. I use Cricket Wireless with an Unlimited Data plan, which was restricting my ability to tether. I believe that this would be for any Honor 8 due to due to their EMUI ROM.
Anyone else not have this issue? Coming from AOSP, I just want to help others get the feautes/control out of their phone they expect.

Some operators do block teetering while others say they do but in fact they don't.
At least from my experience.

I think this is carrier related. In the US there are differences in phones in different carriers in a single phone. Here in Asia we don't have that problem.

EMUI 5
I wasn't able to make this work on L04 with StraightTalk on EMUI 5
Am I the only one having problem with this?

Doing this did enable my hotspot capability, but it made my call log stop working. I put the folder back and rebooted and it did make the call log work again but unfortunately leaving hotspot enabled before reboot did not leave it on when the phone came back on.
