Gingerbread on Droidx has broken my wifi tether. When attempting to enable wifi tether the default (vzw/moto) 3g tether app comes up in notification area. Anyone have any solutions? If/when I find the solution is will update this post.
Thanks

I figured out how to fix it. The Team black hat patcher works.
1. Download the file below (from your phone probably easiest)
2. Launch DROID 2 BOOTSTRAPPER which can also be downloaded from below.
3. Bootstrap recovery
4. Reboot recovery
5. Install zip from SDcard
6. If using the default Android browser, the file will be in /download
7. Install the zip
8. Reboot phone, launch 3g hotspot (Wireless Tether for Root users not necessary)
9. Enable 3g, connect with computer/laptop/nook/tablet
10. Enjoy free 3g!!!
Downloads:
1. Team Black Hat Patcher
2. Team Black Hat Unpatcher
3. Droid 2 Bootstrapper
I take no credit for any of this! I just put it together and followed directions. All thanks goes to Koush, P3Droid, Team Black Hat, etc...

LOL. Probably because VZW is big and scary and their favorite color is red. All they want from their customers is blood!
LOL. More info on how this works can be found here:
http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/android-hacks/5156-tbh-droid-3g-hotspot-nvram-hack.html
Here's their explanation:
This thread is intended to explain the principles behind tethering and how to use RadioComm to modify the NVM to allow tethering via all methods
on any Motorola Droid device by all users, regardless of whether they are rooted or not.
This is the method we at TeamBlackHat used to create the Tether_Repair patches that were released recently for rooted DX/D2 users in update.zip format
and applied via the Koush bootstrap recovery.
It is based on years old knowledge developed in the early days of CDMA Motorola hacking on the V710/V3c/e815 devices.
All of the information, techniques and software tools to do this are in the public domain already.
What we did is simply take that knowledge and apply it with the latest Service software and methods to the Droid generation devices and packaged it
in a new format for delivery that was never previously available to us before the advent of Android.
We will be releasing the manual method for RadioComm when we have worked through all the details for doing it on Win 7.
Currently the versions of RadioComm available on the net are for Win XP only.
We did it initially as a Proof of Concept of methods for writing to NV items via update.zip using Motorola's own binaries that we have recently developed.
We were not intending to release it at all and all agreed that it would be very controversial and raise many ethical questions as well as attracting the wrong
kind of attention to us as a group at a time when we had just been served a C&D for leaking the 2.3.9 update.zip file.
All of this really came about as a direct result of the examination of the NVM we did investigating nenolod's claims about an Engineering mode "switch"
that unlocked the bootloader on DX/D2. Those claims turned out to be unfounded and false and our work, and in particular MotoCache1's incisive analysis
of the boot process with help from [mbm], was instrumental in revealing that fact.
Not exactly what we had in mind to do but we were among the few who had the tools and wherewithall to determine the validity of what nenolod was claiming,
particularly in the beginning when he had released very little hard data to back up his suggestion that there was such a string hiding in the NVM.
Nonetheless, while revisiting the NVM and exploring methods to dump the memory we came upon this set of NV items that determines how the radio builds the
authentication strings it autowrites at bootup for data services. I was aware of their existence for month's since they were revealed in a thread
I participated in on HoFo for service programming on the original Droid. That thread was directed towards the methods required to get the Droid on
a different carrier like Cricket or Metro.
In any event, I knew what they would do if modified in this way and decided to use that as a test of MotoCache1's work with the update.zip binaries.
I used RadioComm to edit them individually and MotoCache1 did the really brilliant work of turning this very old school hack into a beautiful,
elegantly delivered package. This proved the power of what we were capable of as a team and we still unanimously decided against releasing
a packaged theft of services hack as not the right thing to do.
We have reconsidered now in the light of these other exploits surfacing which utilize various software level tricks for getting "Free" tethering
with the new 3G Mobile Hotspot app included on DX and D2. I had always felt that this was inevitable and that others would soon put the pieces together
in the same way we had done.
This is a fundamentally different modality but accomplishes exactly the same thing as any other exploit designed to subvert VZW's intent
to differentiate between externally routed modem data and internal data use and charge for that service.
This includes all forms of exploits and applications like PDAnet and WMWiFiRouter(WinMo 6.1) and now Barnacle, whose entire business model is to use
software level methods to mask tethered data and have marketed them as such for years.
All of these methods absolutely violate the TOS agreement with VZW.
This method simply alters that behavior at the lowest level possible on the device, the radio NVM.
It works because of the way VZW chose to setup authentication on their network when they released the first EvDO capable phones in late 2004-2005.
The methods and software tools to access the NVM as well as the blocks put in place by Qualcomm and Motorola for protecting these
authentication components have evolved dynamically over the years with advancements in chipset design and software, but the principles
have always remained the same. Hex editing the NVM items via a given tool to make the Tethered NAI(Network Access Identifier) strings
match the NAI strings for internal data.
These are basically your user name on the network and consist of the MIP profile byte, a line length byte and your 10 digit telephone number
followed by either @dun.vzw3g.com for tethered NAI or @vzw3g.com for the NAI. By removing the "dun." from the tethered NAI string
you enable all forms of data use to appear to the network as internal and using the normal NAI string.
The difference between the current technique and former methods is that the items edited for this hack are not those strings themselves,
but actually where the default values are stored that the radio uses to build the full strings that it autowrites to the fixed, protected locations in the NVM
for the authentication components in the MIP(Mobile Internet Protocol) profile itself, which happens at bootup.
This is the means by which they prevented the items from being modified by typical service programming tools like QPST.
But, because we know the location for those hidden partial strings, it actually makes our work much simpler.
After editing these four strings, the phone itself uses those values to autowrite the properly configured MIP profile strings for you.
It couldn't be any easier!
Despite our initial concern about releasing this publicly, we have decided after much discussion to do so anyway.
With all of the recent exploits that are directly targeting the 3g Mobile Hotspot app we feel that revealing the way to do it properly
will level the playing field for everyone as well as giving the community a truer and more complete understanding of how it works.
This way users can make up their own minds as to whether to use any of the available methods of "free" tethering with a clear view
of the ethical and technical issues involved.
Hopefully this thread will generate a healthy discussion about the issues.
We at TeamBlackHat believe in providing the knowledge so users can make their own decisions with the best information available.
Please use your own judgment about whether to use this or any tethering modifications.
Enjoy!

So can anyone else confirm this working? Besides snwagner?
Works perfectly.....
Been using TBH's 3G hotspot patch since they released it. Worked fine on Froyo and fine now on GB
Works perfect did it before and after gb leak
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA Premium App
Works for past 4 months no extra on vzw bill either
Beamed from my Gingerbreaded DroidXtreme
Works for me.
Followed the steps, still no go...
I came from Liberty 1.5 and used the wifi tether for root with no problems. I followed the steps and installed the Tether Patcher. My laptop can get an IP address from the phone but I cant do anything more than that. Any Ideas?
I am having the same issue with the tether patch. I get an ip address, but no data comes through (tried on multiple computers). I, however, did not come from liberty - stock rom / (but rooted, obviously).
+++edit to add+++
When I first upgraded to GB, I installed the Android Wifi Tether app (3.0-pre12). That didn't work correctly (both the wifi app and hotspot app icons came on in the tray and it was really buggy), so I uninstalled the wifi app and applied the patch. The patch, as I said, would assign an ip but not transmit any data. So, I just reinstalled the tether app (with the patch still applied) and it works! Now only the stock icon appears in the tray and it works faster than ever. Using it as I type.

Thanks! I Installed the Android Wifi Tether app and managed to get it working too. Initially after installing the Wifi Tether, it would get an IP, I could ping the gateway but still couldn't get to the outside world even though the computer said it had internet access. (incidently I would also have both the wifi and builtin app icons in the tray). What worked for me was to enable access control and then disable access control. Now I have just the Wifi Icon in the tray and Im using it flawlessly right now.
After a reboot, I do have both icons in the tray again but it still works without issue. That works for me!
In order to get the stock tethering app working I had to change my dns servers.
I was in the same boat as bndggle. Tryed his fix and nothing happened. The only thing that worked before I tried his fix and after is just leaving the tether running. After a few min I will get a message on my status bar saying that my 3g connection failed. I lose 3g, then it returns and I magically have internet access.
An other thing I noticed is that when I start the tether not only is the host not connected to the internet, the phone is also.
I don't get the point of this when you can just download the wireless tether app from the store for free. What's the difference? OR is the reason that people are using this method because the wireless tether app doesn't work on GB? if that is true, than I'll stay with froyo until that gets fixed in the OTA release of GB.
do you patch , and unpatch???? or just patch... i tried to patch, and the tether still does not work... any suggestions

Uninstall the Android Wifi Tether app (3.0-pre12) and reinstall. Then reboot. Thats what worked for me. I have not removed the patch.
Hi Guys,
Just a QUICK How-To that will allow you to use the Xfinity TV Go app to watch television episodes over 3G / 4G for non-Verizon users.
As you probably already know, due to a marketing deal between Comcast/Xfinity and Verizon Wireless, access to streaming episodes are disabled for all carriers except Verizon, unless you are on WiFi.
Fortunately, we have some very talented developers that have provided a solution!
This REQUIRES a valid Xfinity/Comcast subscription. If you have Xfinity/Comcast cable you should have a username and password to log in. If you don't know this information, you can initiate a "Chat" from the website, or call Comcast/Xfinity to retrieve your username and/or reset your password. Before you proceed, you should be able to successfully use the TV Go app over WiFi.
First, you must have a working Xposed Framework installation. I'm not sure if this will work with those of you using tethered root such as PIE, but assuming you are able to install Xposed and soft-reboot, it should work. It -definitely- works for anyone with an unlocked bootloader.
Installing Xposed is pretty straightforward, and it is described in other threads so we aren't going into that here. Once Xposed Framework is installed, you can proceed:
You will need to open Xposed, and click "download". This will list all the available Xposed modules. We are looking for a module called "Fake Wifi Connection". The easiest way to find it is by tapping the search button, and typing "Fake Wifi", at which point the module we are looking for should appear at the top of the list. Install the module, then go back to "Modules" in Xposed. Enable the module by checking the box next to "Fake Wifi Connection". This will require a reboot to complete. Once rebooted, open your app drawer and tap on "Fake Wifi Connection".
Unless you have reason to use this for other apps, I suggest you press the "invert" button, which will de-select all apps. Now scroll down the list until you find "TV Go", and place a check mark next to it. Make sure the master switch is set to on, and click "Save".
That's it! Now you can launch the TV Go app, and it will happily stream the episodes of your choosing (assuming they are included in your subscription) over non-Verizon 3G & 4G. If you have a slow connection, you may experience buffering, but this is to be expected in low-bandwidth conditions.
Enjoy! Now you can bypass Comcast/Xfinity's [stupid] Verizon-only restrictions when you aren't on WiFi.
Be sure to use caution if you are on a limited data plan, as video-streaming can consume a substantial amount of bandwidth in a relatively short period of time.
This could potentially allow you to use other apps that restrict you to WiFi-only use as well.
All thanks and credit goes to:
1. The Xposed Framework development team
2. "lemonsqueeze" - the developer behind the "Fake Wifi Connection" Xposed Module
I think I've run into this issue when running AOSP ROMs like CyanogenMod on some of my other devices (even though they were connected to Verizon's 4G LTE network still). Glad to see that there is a workaround.
I've tested this with both Cricket and AT&T on my Lumia 1520 and it's working great. I'm assuming it will work with other carriers and phones but would need to be tested. It requires registry editing capabilities. I used the CustomPFD registry editor with it running as the Preview for Developers app. (note: I had to use this method to get registry write access)
Basically you just have to set the following registry keys. For carriers like Cricket that completely blocks tethering you'll need the ICSSVC & system settings but for others like AT&T that allow it but only on certain plans you'll only need the ICSSVC settings.
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ControlSet001\Services\ICSSVC\Settings]

"EntitlementRequired"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Settings\QuickSettingElements]
"{1DEF9B7D-2322-40eb-A007-16A75D5CDA6F}"=dword:00000007
Note: dword:000000b0 is integer 176. Also, if you change sims this will get reset and will need to be redone. I've seen vague references to some of this info but never a good writeup so hopefully this helps other people.
Hello! I have a Lumia 630 with WP8.1 Update 1 (latest available from the Previews for Developers). I'm on Crickets network and would love to enable the tether option.
Can you elaborate step by step what I need to do? I have Developer Unlocked my phone already. And I'm assuming I will need to use a computer to export the XAPs?
Thanks
Ok, so I deployed the CustomWPSystem app. I've got as far as trying to patch the target app but no matter which of the target apps I try and patch, the tool crashes to the home screen. However, the target apps still open and function as normal. This makes me think it's not even trying to patch them.
Any ideas?

The same thing happens on my phone, hence the alternate more manual method linked in the OP. I used this app to unlock the wpsystem folder so I can copy the files and whatnot.

I've installed the Windows 10 Technical Preview and for some reason I can't unlock the WPSystem folder. When I click Phone after Add Provider in Pocket File Manager I get a black screen. This actually happens anytime I choose Phone as a location in any app. I think it's MS blocking out any possible access to the system files during the beta stages..

nothign for users without an SD card. The insider app is fixed too so you cant do it through any of the fiddler methods too. I think someone is working on a way to bypass that. Lets hope it works or else wait till next month
Just tried this. No dice - the Internet Sharing setting says there's no data connection available to share.
I have an ATIV S Neo that was fully interop unlocked and is running Microsoft dev preview updates since GDR3, and I've updated to the latest 8.1 update available through Preview for Developers.
The SecureItems DWORD value was different (54), and I successfully set it to 176 using SamWP8 Tools. I also changed the EntitlementRequired value from 1 to 0 and rebooted. All other values in the OP were already the same on my phone. What am I missing?

Sorry bro, if you're on Sp rint, no one seems to have a solution....unless I missed something. It seems like all threads related to internet sharing seem to go dead once someone asks about Sp rint.
Of course, I may have missed something but nothing seems to work...

I feel like it might be an APN thing, but what do I know.
If Sprint would let me tether for free, I would do it. I only use it in emergencies - it's not like I'm streaming Netflix in HD on my computer from my phone or anything.

It most likely is an APN things. Something with TetheringNAIConnection, see below from MS web page:
"TetheringNAIConnection
Optional. Specifies the CDMA TetheringNAI Connection Manager cellular connection that internet sharing will use as a public connection.
If a CDMA mobile operator requires using a Tethering NAI during internet sharing, they must configure a TetheringNAI connection and then specify the connection in this node.
Specified connections will be mapped, by policy, to the internet sharing service. All attempts to enumerate Connection Manager connections for the internet sharing service will return only the mapped connections.
Note: The mapping policy will also include the connections specified in the DedicatedConnections as well.
If the specified connections do not exist, internet sharing will not start because it will not have any cellular connections available to share
Additional requirements for CDMA networks:
For CDMA networks that use a separate Network Access Identity (NAI) for internet sharing, the Connections parameter TetheringNAI is used. The following sample demonstrates how to specify the connection"
Sprint & Tethering
I switched to Sprint almost 5 years ago when the HTC Arrive came out. I called up sprint and they said they don't offer tethering for that device. XDA came out with a custom rom that had it so I flashed and was tethering like normal. In December they cut off peer to peer stuff (which is fine with me) Then In February they sent me a nasty letter saying I was tethering and using too much data (on my unlimited data plan) In June they cut me off. So all I can say is Sprint is getting serious about not allowing tethering. Mind you my phone was 3g so..... they just dont like anyone tethering without paying for it.
Worked perfectly on my Lumia 1520 on the H2O network. Only had to change the entitlement reg key.
Didn't work for me on my 830 on Cricket. I can enable the connection settings and connect from my laptop (gets an IP and everything), but I can't connect to anything online (limited network connectivity). Any suggestions?
Nevermind, it was just my Hyper-V client IP settings. Working great now, thanks!

<entry path="HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Settings\{1DEF9B7D-2322-40eb-A007-16A75D5CDA6F}" name="QuickSettingsTitle" type="string">

Hello today i come to you with a small problem in the S6 EDGE Sprint variant Model SM-G925P. As seen with the picture below the APN settings are unable to modified via the main system settings, now i didnt let this stop me i took the liberty on researching how to edit/create APNs via Buildprop Editor but no dice there as well seems as Sprint may have taken the extra step to prevent these changes from happening.
With this SS you can see that ADD is Grey'd out along with all the APNs Tht Came Stock on my Phone.

Background: Im trying to ADD a APN TO Test the Wifi Tether Router's ability if it works or not with my sprint model Unlimited Free hotspot?!? *I Am Using a Rooted SPRINT SM-G925P Model S6 Edge* (Phone Info SS's Below)

Like they tittle Say anyway to bypass T-Mobile tether?
If rooted...
Then theres various ways to bypass and if used together chances are good you won't have to pay 2x for data: modifying your apn to allow dun type, adding the line: net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
to your build.prop and finally using adb from a PC (u can try this even if not rooted) type the following from cmd or powershell: "adb shell" followed by "settings put global tether_dun_required 0" without the " "s and restart your phone n hopefully that should do the trick.
If still throttled by TMo go into Magisk and install tethering_enabler or TTL tethering modules. These modules weren't specifically made for the 6T but they should still be effective. If still unsuccessful then modifying the TTL from the device your trying to tether to will help hide the source of data aim for TTL of 65 to confuse tmo.
If your not rooted then use PDANet USB tether to a PC and hide tether options then create a hotspot from the PC your USB tethered to or use the WiFi Sharing option in PDANet PC Menu. At least thats what works the best for me and I've tried many many things... One other possibility if your on stock no root is to add a new apn with all the same info as normal fast.tmobile.net lte apn only enable MVNO type to GIO for apn type leave it blank and save it. This should hide the default TMobile apn (and make the editor think your using a 3rd party like Mint) now go back and edit the new apn and under apn type put: dun,default,mms,supl try and save it. It should error n say dun not supported... Press Home and force close settings-reboot phone. The dun sometimes will stick if this method isn't patched yet I'm sure it will be soon.
Your final options are to use an app from playstore like VPN Hotspot or VPN Tether they might slow your speed a bit but they should tunnel all your data thru a VPN confusing TMo as to the origin of data. Probably the best and easiest way is by using a custom ROM as most haven't been tainted by Google's latest CarrierConfigManager commits or carrier apn restrictions. If anyone knows how to reverse these commits easily or any other methods not listed please let me know.
I'm currently looking for a clean TMo only dun enabled apns-config.xml so I can overwrite the default n modify the build.prop for a quick fix on any new ROM or update...
As you can probably tell being throttled or having to pay 2x for the same data is a pet peeve of mine and I've spent some time researching the topic. I'd love to hear what ended up working for you or if anyone knows a solid method I missed. Or has a recommendation for a good ROM with unlimited hotspot features built in for the 6t let me know.
I installed the app from this thread, https://www.xda-developers.com/vpn-hotspot-share-vpn-connection/. You can also download the app in the Playstore. I also subscribe to Private Internet Access (https://privateinternetaccess.com) and they have an app that you can download from the playstore.
My phone contract has overseas roaming for a number of days but it restricts tethering and hotspot when roaming. The way I bypass this limitation is to run the PIA VPN, then run the VPN Hotspot app, and use the "Repeater" function. This has worked flawlessly sharing my internet connection with other devices..

Be sure you reset APN to default values after you install this new file....
Thanks bro I'll test it out...if it works care if I add it to the main post? Yeah I mentioned the VPN app along with a VPN my only issue with that method is the decrease in speed and some apps/devices don't like the VPN way much. Wish google would stop letting carriers dictate Android or itd b nice if the US would put their foot down and not allow companies to bend us over lock our bootloader's, phone's, devices we pay for or try and swindle us by charging 2x for data or throttle us...

Not sure what I did wrong, but it's not loading for me. All my APNs disappeared. I reset to default after replacing with the one provided.
Well, I know this post is rather old, but I made a Magisk module that does everything for you...
