yes. it needs to be enabled in your kernel and you will want to get wifi tether for root users. you need root access.
It can be done without root, via PDAnet, but that costs $$$

I have searched tirelessy looking for a way to implement wireless tethering in AP mode similiar to how its done on 2.2 on the n1.
All the threads discussing it seems nvr come to a solution..
Can someone jus point me to the steps or a thread that has a confirmed working method of doing this will flash anything to get this working probably sell my soul while I'm at it
If only the wifi hotspot worked on the froyo2g1 port
Thank you in advance

Does anyone know if this is possible? (a non ad-hoc wifi tether for a G1/HTC Dream
Anyone able to tether with a VZW MX2? Foxfi?
Sure. Easy using built in tethering.
I assume this means you have paid tethering? I am on unlimited, can I add tethering without losing unlimited?

Yes, I'm on a family share plan. While you can set up a plan to pay for tethering, I'm a firm believer that you shouldn't have to. Do a littleore research on foxfi and some of the other tethering apps.
I don't necessarily want to pay, just want to be able to do it and keep unlimited. I don't have my phone yet (est Oct 27) so curious if anyone has been able to get tethering to work with foxfi or similar.

From what Verizon has told me.yes you can, and you will have unlimited tether.
I have unlimited data and no tether plan, just tried to setup the mobile hotspot with no dice says I have to pay 30/mo for tethering. Been using EasyTether which works - I hate having to install separate apps on both the phone and pc to do this, but it works which beats the alternative.

Thanks for checking, did you try both FoxFi and built in? Are there any other hotspot apps that might work?
I am really hoping to tether my tablet from my phone, so the EasyTether won't really work for me. I also use my phone to tether my chromecast and tablet together...so bluetooth isn't the best option for that either.
I presume once root is achieved it will be possible, so I will have patience just hoped it would be an easy fix
If possible, I am curious about the same thing. Can someone install FoxFi and see if it will work with Moto X?

No go, says wifi tether has been blocked by your carrier. USB works though.

Damn, I was afraid of that. Wifi tethering is essential for me. Thanks for letting me know.
With respect to wifi tethering (via Foxfi or other), someone suggested the need to encrypt the phone, which then (somehow) permits wifi tethering to work. Before I spend the time doing so, I wanted to see if anyone has heard this as well and/or attempted it?

What they mean encrypt the phone is by putting a password lock on the phone. Even if you do it, it still gives you the error message seen above, "WiFi tethering blocked by carrier"

Yes, encrypt the data/storage on the phone by going under Settings->Security->Encrypt phone.

i was thinking of getting this phone. but with out tether. im out.. i hope devs figure out how to root VW Moto x soon..
I am also a wifi tether user, but will have to get by with USB tether until someone roots it (hopefully). You guys the do USB tether, are you using the clockworkmod tether?
has anyone try PdaNet+/foxfi???

Previously, tethering worked in 5.1 and below. I did the steps laid out by Crios, however I noticed that Tethering completely stopped working. As in, anything that connected to my hotspot showed no internet access. Previously, I was getting hit with throttled down speed from T-Mobile after my upgrade to Android 6.0
So I want to get some information and make sure T-Mobile tethering is working or its not for everyone, and see if we can resolve it!
Thanks

you have to be a bit more accurate with your question. with what you wrote, tethering works absolutely fine with tmobile and marshmallow. as i use tethering on tmobile and am on marshmallow. im sure that what you really wanted to know was if tethering illegally is working on tmobile. i dont know, as i tether legally. i do know that many people that do tether illegally are having a hard time tethering on tmobile with marshmallow.

thats because i use no modifications. i just turn on wireless tethering, then connect. if you cant, thete might be a build.prop fix that needs to be done. but tmobile has tethering included in everyones plan. if you have a limit on hiw mych data you can use, then they give unlimited tether to your plan. i have sn unlimited high speed data plan, that means they give me 7gb tethering. snd thats mire than enough for me now-a-days for me

lol, its not only you. most people that post about just say tethering. not realizing that some tether legally i guess. but ive grown used to it by now.
anyways, from what ive been reading, many write that the old ways dont work anymore, on tmobile. im guessing thats because tmobile started a thing, about the time marshmallow started, about going after illegal tethering.
Hey guys,
Is it possible to enable tethering without root? When I use the native tethering it just pops up a message that says to go to att.com/mywireless (but there are no options to turn it on there)?
Thanks guys, I need this functionality for work.
I'm on the 15 gig shared data plan and my tethering in available with out root I used to need root but when I changed to this plan it was no longer needed not sure if that was what made it available on my phone or something else. I will check the other phones on the plan and see if they also have tether available and let you know.

Hey, I have the unlimited data plan that comes bundled with direct tv, which I called and does not support tethering. they said I'd have to change to a non-unlimited plan that supports tethering, or get another device that has a data plan that has tethering, but the cheapest plan is 40 dollars a month for 2 gb of data. Does anyone know a way to root the phone (can send me a link) so that I can keep my unlimited plan and still tether? Or know some other option that allows me to keep my unlimited plan and still tether? Thanks!
Not sure of the status of them, but try out PdaNet and FoxFi ... The latter has been removed from the play store by sprint and at&t, but you can find the url in the FoxFi Addon description.
[edit]
Confirmed, pdanet is still a thing. One of the few apps I truly found worth what I paid for it.
Links and details
Tethering is part of the mobile share data plan.

This app works perfectly!! Thank you, NOTHING else works with AT&T's new unlimited plan except for this.
I can confirm Foxfi/PdaNet works via usb, without root. Install Foxfi (paid full version) on your phone and have PDAnet on your pc and attach via usb.

Hi
I am new and I have a question and a answer which probably is not the one you are looking for but you have to start some where to learn like you and me. My question is what is tethering without root. As for tethering I go to settings- connections- mobile hot spot and tethering and turn it on. Hope you don't mind a first day rookie bothering you and hope we can become friends here. Take care.
Someone correct me if I am wrong but rooting your phone will enable full tethering on this new unlimited data deal but it can be detected by att and in some cases att will automatically add a tethering fee to your bill if detected. However it's extremely hard to detect Android phones (and more expensive) so generally att pursues this more on Apple platforms. Just wanted to confirm my own understanding before I switch plans. If true, it's a win win for this community.

no root yet for the s6 active. but anyone interested in tethering i found a work around. dowload klink tether from playstore to run your laptop no root required. the app has simple intructions to get you going. once you have that all done now you can download a hotspot program on your laptop. i use connectify turns it into a hotsot so you will actualy be connecting to the laptop wich is running from your phone works fine. now you have free wireless tether. if anyone noes a easier tether option i would like to no foxfi didnt work for me as it did on other devices im currently running marshmellow on the s6 active
Hello, I have a note 8 and S7, I have hotspot on both with my plan and unlimited internet. Right now I am using clockwork tether to have internet on my PC, but I have to install a program and connect it etc. The issue is some programs/games dont work with the tether, and requires I use the wifi hotspot, also I have a router I could connect it to, if it didnt require a software install like tether. So my question is, is there a way to use the normal wifi hotspot and it seem like its coming off my phone like tether does. As of now, neither are rooted, but if I have to root it, I dont mind and will do whatever it takes.
Thank you so much in advanced.
