Here it is, please read this first - new version 0.6
Here is the Info about everything you need to know
Once again thank you Chainfire

Turning off nat??
Is there a way to do the wifi teathering without nat? A better way to put it is, would there be a way to set a dmz for one computer associated to the phone?
The reason I ask is back in the day with a older htc phone the dun tethering would give my actual edge ip to my tethered computer and there were so many neat things I could do since my provider actually was assigning me a public ip address.
A response to this is appreciated!

3G mobile hotspot

alright i know i got this somewhere on another forum and found it to be a great way to wifi tether out of the box with out root
on the phone do ##778 goto edit mode enter 000000 then into the security settings change the S.IP DUN User name to [email protected] and back out of there to the M.IP Default Profile and change your DUN NAI to [email protected] hit menu and hit Commit Modifications.
I have tested and verified this works 100% with no problems.
Granted to have the 3g mobile hot spot option you need to have loaded the leaked OTA but i see this would also work when 2.2 is released!
Also sorry if this is in the wrong area and please feel free to move it where it belongs.

I am just using the wifi tether app from the market place.. I am scared if I am using the VZW app I will get hit with charges.

make no mistake im using the wifi tether app too but this is an alternative as this also gives you a widget option for turning on and off.

Sweet has anyone confirmed no charges or crazy letters from VZW??

One thing I did notice is that this method uses infrastructure as opposed to the ad-hoc mode of wireless tether.

well thats some good news then

the method which you described is on xda some place, the thread was started right near the time the phone came out in late april. it also doesnt not require root, but it is a usb tether not wifi tether. i dont believe you can do wifi tether without root

I believe this will work without root. You just need to apply the leaked OTA and make the appropriate changes in the first post. I'm not able to verify that since I'm rooted.

i cant get my laptop to get the ip address. i was able to connect to the mobile hot spot but cannot get the ip address. i tried, wep, wpa and no key. Any ideas???
thanks

have you tried repairing on your computer and also verifiying your TCP/IP settings on your laptop that its set to accept DHCP and not be static

[email protected] is the username that your phone uses to connect to the internet, and [email protected] is what Mobile Broadband Connect and the 3G Mobile Hot Spot uses to connect.
Unless you're using obscene amounts of data you shouldn't be caught. This is doing exactly the same thing that the Wifi Tethering app and PDANet does, though I can certainly understand why you'd be scared.

it works fine with wireless tether. same laptop same settings

Does anyone know if this works (with the appropriate @xxx.com) for sprint phones like the hero or the evo 4g? Couldn't find anything in their forums.
Thanks and sorry for the wrong phone section post.

I would imagine if u looked at their settings that it should work, but thats a SHOULD only way to know is to give it a shot and if it doesnt then you need to remember what the settings were prior.

Guys, be careful with this - I used to do this with my VX8300 back in the day and although it worked great, I eventually did get a letter from VZW saying to stop or they would terminate my contract, and I didnt even use it that much.
Just a heads up...

O'RLY?
I've used this for long time from the Vogue to Imagio and now DINC, nothing happened...
Did you tether to P2P? Downloading bunch of stuff? If so, you're sticking out like a sore thumb...

Yeah wonder how they would find out. It's the same exact internet connection that your phone uses. You're just "sharing" it with other devices. How would Verizon be able to tell if you're using that same internet but on a different device? Assuming of course that you aren't using it for online gaming or torrents or other bandwidth intensive applications.

The VX8300 didn't have much of a browser. I imagine if you ever did much of anything on there and didn't have a tethering plan then it would look suspicious.

Webtop Tether Bypass

If you want to use the webtop browser without a tethering plan you can try the following:
1. Install and enable Proxoid (a http proxy) http://code.google.com/p/proxoid/
2. Set the Webtop Firefox proxy to localhost, port 8080
3. Browse the internet without limits
The only thing i have not figured out how to do is get rid of the popup that says "Verifying AT&T account status for webtop...", it eventually goes away but is annoying none the less. If anyone knows what process is responsible for that perhaps we can manually kill it.

Wait... you need tethering for BOTH docks simply to open the browser?!

Help with proxoid
Can u please give a step by step for this

unless you use WiFi, you need tethering.

Don't seem to need any additional software, just the custom APN. Not sure if root is even necessary...

Yea if you follow that post and change the APN it will also eventually let you use the browser. The only trouble is while that message says "Checking your AT&T account..." it wont work. You have to wait for that message to time out and disappear.
The proxy method is just a way to avoid waiting for that message every time you start webtop.

i guess this would only apply to the people with the laptop dock.....my hd dock i use wifi anyways.

i have an iphone unlimited plan (switching from iphone4, may switch back), and did the APN change for the tethering. That works great, webtop keeps trying to check my plan and gets denied. My guess is you dont have an unlimited data plan so tethering is enabled.

This is tremendously helpful for me.
I am also on the unlimited plan and don't want to change to the tether plan but hate having to be on wifi to use the webtop firefox.
Its working well for me.
Great find.

And this is why I'm seriously thinking of selling my ipad for the dock. Seriously.
Rooted/ROM Captivate
Rooted Atrix

does this proxoid method work with the laptop dock? you don't have to change apn settings, can keep the default in place? Wondering if this is a safer route to go if it works.

What happens if you attempt to use the dock on 3/4G without a tethering plan?
I have gon into the phone and edited the Default telephony .db with wap.cingular APN settings. So now the default connection that the phone falls back to IS the wap.cingular settings.
I get a message from webtop that says its verifying tethering on my acct, but then the message disapears and the browser allows me online.
The .db i modified was data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
I midified the settings for #4 AT&T HSDPA, which is the APN that the phone defaults to, and webtop uses.
It also does the same now when i use wifihotspot. It turns on, gives error that i do not have the feature enabled on my acct, then still lets me usee wifihotspot feature.
edit: I've attatched the modified telephony.db. Rename the files ext to "db" without quotes. This was the only way i could upload - as i am on Webtop right now. push the file to the directory i listed above. --try at your own risk-- I would verify with SQLite that the integrity of the file is still intact aft you rename it back to telephony.db
please let me know if this works for anyone else, as it has worked for me.

A smart thing to do would also be replacing ALL instances of isp.Cingular or broadband in that list in the 310 mmc range to wap.cingular or phone.

True .. but while in Webtop, i checked the connected APN, and it is still ATT HSDPA.

Then could we be missing something that may be programmed into the webdock?

The proxy method works great. Thank you very much for the info!

att still thinks im on iphone4 as well, unlimited plan, proxiod works perfect.
i opened a term window and did a
ps > psb4.txt
and then turned wifi off and did a
ps > psafter.txt
and im going to see if i can find the process that is the window that wont go away so we can kill it.
ill let you know my findings
killster

Can someone give more specific instructions please, including setting up from firefox on the webtop? Also when using the proxoid mehod did u also change apn settings or leave them alone?
NEVERMIND, figured out what to do. Proxoid rules! No tethering contract required, no changing my APN, and no losing my unlimited data. happy camper here.

Tether Question?

I've been Wondering for about Two weeks now, is it Possible to use Wireless Tether from one device to Another?
My friend Recently had his HTC Hero phone with him at my house, and to his Surprise he Wasn't able Connect to the Internet from his Mobile Browser. For whatever reason?
I Told him to Pay his Bill! Lol...
Anyways I came up with a Idea, which was to Tether My Phone with hopes that he'd be Able to Connect to the Internet that way.
But now to my Surprise, his Android based phone Never even Recognized the Tether signal!
But Strange enough my niece who was Also there, Tried with her Ipod Touch and Was Able to find the Tether signal and Connect! Lol...
So I guess I'm asking Does or Has Anyone out there have Any stories Related to Successfully Tethering from Mobile to Mobile? And if so, How?
Thanx in Advance!

its weird some roms can pick up an adhoc signal i used to do that with my old mt3g using a froyoyoshi rom. Im sure it can be done on the hero but no one has bothered to enable it yet.

How I got tethering to work (3 different type of methods)

Hey all, I been reading all kinds of methods to tether with the Nexus 5 (also during the Nexus 4 prime), and helped a couple of members here at XDA how I got to tether my T-Mobile's truly unlimited data with 5 GB sharing (it used to be 500, then 2.5GB, now 5GB) connection to my PS3, PC, and other smartphones. Many have PM'd me to explain it further for them how to get it to work, and I figured "I should just make a thread on how I got it to work". In this thread, I will explain to you how I got tethering to work on my phone using T-Mobile's service (it might work for At&T and other carriers). I will tell you the three apps I use and the pros and cons of each app when it comes to tethering a specific device.
Please note:I am not responsible for any consequences you will face with your carrier using my method, nor will I be held responsible if you use my method without having a sharing data plan. This method is for use of a sharing plan that YOU pay for. If you decide to use this method without having a sharing plan, then do what you want, it's your plan, and your money. I have spent a lot of time doing trial and error in order for my tethering to work 100%. I even went over my 5GB of sharing data and I still was able to tether. I think I know why, read the last paragraph of this post. Again, THIS IS FOR MEMBERS WHO PAID FOR TETHERING SERVICE.
Without further ado, you will first need to edit a database located in /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db. You need to add a new entry that is called "tether_dun_required" with a value of 0. Google and T-Mobile decided to team up and provide a way for T-Mobile to sniff what devices you are tethering to, thus sometimes redirecting you to the T-Mobile page saying you need to add a sharing plan. You can either edit the database with a sqlite app/program, or simply install the install zip (thanks to yakman66). There is an uninstaller if you wish to revert back. I have no idea if you should reflash the zip after you install a new ROM or update it, but I did it anyway. If you need a deeper explanation, refer to the first 4 posts from this thread here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/fix-nexus-5-tethering-block-t2581035
Installer:https://github.com/marcandrews/hammerhead-hotspot-fix/releases/tag/v1.0
Uninstaller:https://github.com/marcandrews/hammerhead-hotspot-fix/releases/tag/v1.0u
Now we get to the apps. The three apps I use to tether are PDANET+/Foxfi, Clockworkmod Tether, and WiFi Tether Router
PDANET+/Foxfi: Note: There is a free version of PDANET/FOXFI, but you will be kicked off the tethered connection every 20-30 minutes,and I believe there is an a limit of how much MB you share daily. Purchasing the app is only $7.97.
Download from Play Store. Link:PDANET Foxfi:Foxfi Foxfi for At&T and Sprint:Foxfi (Sprint/AT&T Only)
Please make sure you download the correct Foxfi for you carrier. PDANET is for connecting via USB and Foxfi is for bluetooth and wireless. You must install the PC program located here. This app is pretty much self-explanatory. You just set up the network name and password if you decide to use wireless, or plug your phone in PC via USB with PDANET+ for Windows installed.
Pros:
No need to root.
Tethering for your computer: Pretty much instant. Easy setup. Just to be safe install a user switch agent and change it to IE 7.
Tethering for gaming: Using my PS3, I am able to play online with my friends. I am running around 30-40 ms ping, which is not bad for wireless. Smooth.
Tethering for other smartphones and tablets: Easy setup also.
Cons:
You have to pay the app in order to use the app for its full potential.
Computer: For some reason, I get kicked off for a couple seconds from my tethered connection and then connected again. I even enable "Hide Tether Usage" on the options with Google DNS checked on the settings. I think because T-Mobile blacklisted Google DNS (idk?)
Gaming: Your NAT type will never be opened. That means if you join a party that also does not have an open NAT, expect not to be able to join that person. If anyone knows a way to port forward your carriers IP address, please let me know.
Smartphones and tablets: Haven't experienced nothing wrong.
WiFi Tether Router:
Download: WiFi Tether Router
Configure your Network Name SSID, encryption type (whatever works best for you, I use wpa2-psk)m WiFi password, and then enable the tether.
Pros:
Much cheaper than PDA/FOXFI. Only $2.50
There are more setups you can do for this app. You can change the interface, method, drivers, WiFi Mode. There are also tweaks especially for consoles like MTU adjust, enabling DMZ, DMZ Port Forwarding, and DCHP settings. Perhaps you can port forward and have your Nat open with this app, but I'm not expert when it comes to these, perhaps someone out there can find a solution? Let us know!
Computer: Haven't tested it to be honest. If someone is willing to try please let us know how it went.
Gaming: Easy setup. Works just as good as Foxfi
Smartphones and tablets: Works just as good as Foxfi
Cons:
You can only use wireless, there is no USB.
Gaming: Same as Foxfi, Nat is not open.
Smartphones and tablets: None.
Clockworkmod Tether:
Download from Play Store: Clockworkmod Tether (no root)
After that install the drivers of your phone located here
Last but not least, install the tether software on your computer.
Mac: http://download.clockworkmod.com/tether/tether-mac.zip
Linux: http://download.clockworkmod.com/tether/tether-linux.tgz
Windows: http://download.clockworkmod.com/tether/TetherWindowsSetup.msi
Once installed, allow debugging on your phone to PC via usb and start the tether connection.
Pros:
Free, you just need root.
Computers: I don't get kicked out whatsoever tethering on my PC. Not once did I get disconnected for a second and reconnected. Like I said as a precaution switch user agent to IE7.
Cons:
Gaming: Won't accept USB.
Smartphone and tablets: it only uses USB tethering.
So there you go guys, these are the apps I use to tether my devices. You can choose whatever works best for you. When it comes to me playing online or sharing my net to smartphones and tablets, I use Foxfi because it is simple to set up. WiFi Tether Router I just use it as a backup. When it comes to tethering my PC, I use clockworkmod tether because I don't get disconnected from my computer.
I have been using these apps since Nexus 4 and not one time I got temporarily banned from sharing my net. Well actually I did, but it was the first time I ever tried it. Ever since then, I was able to use my tethering to its full potential.I use my data to play online (my home net sucks), and I have not been flagged. Playing online does not consume a lot of data (about 20-30 mb an hour).Here are a couple of ways to keep using your tether without being flagged by your carrier.
1. DO NOT DOWNLOAD BIG FILES ON YOUR GAME CONSOLES. Guys, please use your home internet to update your console version or downloading a patch. As soon as you download a file on your console you will be flagged. I have not tried it with the new 5GB sharing limit but I have tried it on 2.5 and I immediately got flagged, even though I was not close to my sharing limit.
2. Don't download torrents or pronz on your PC using your data. If you want to do that, I suggest going on your phone and downloading it via your phones browser or torrent app. This way your carrier will know you are downloading straight from your phone and not from a tethered device.
Other than that, use your tether how ever you like, but with responsibility. Tethering to other smartphones and tablets seem to not red flag T-Mobile at all. I shared 10gb of data to my coworkers and all they do is stream Pandora and YouTube. I hope this will clear things up and hopefully there will be better alternatives, but I think these methods should let you use your tethering service.

Sort of confused here, I use the built in WiFi tethering in my non rooted nexus 5 on T-Mobile without issue. Why does one need this?

Wait, what?
I've never had an issue using native tethering in stock Android on my Nexus 5.
So, are you saying enabling Tethering & Hotspot in the Settings menu doesn't work for you, and apparently many others?

I use built in tethering with the hot spot fix. No redirects to T-Mobile.

Never had an issue with tethering here

tethering using the default tether options work great for me with tmobile, without any modifications.

dmz not working with wifi tether router...
am i doing anything wrong?

You got tethering too work despite your network, you mean? The n5 tethers wireless, bluetooth, wired, perfectly. The restrictions of your data plan or network are another thing that is nothing to do with an unlocked n5
