Need Help w/ Wireless Tether for Root Users

When i open it up and start tethering it stays on the start tethering screen and says please wait... my macbook doesn't find the signal and i was wondering if there was a way to fix it... i am running the latest hero rom...

Should work fine if your rooted and using anetshare with the downloaded tether.
Ubuntu on the otherhand... That one I have to use proxoid and usb along with a config typed in, but least its working on linux now. Windows.. ahh I love how you know how to network with ease to adhocs..

What is anetshare?... is it an app or something else?

http://android.a0soft.com/?url=aNetShare.htm
Just gotta dl it and then let the tether download. I know back in the begining, Tetherwifi didnt work, but this one did. So I stick with what worked 1st. =)

You don't have to use anetshare to have wireless tether for root users to work.

what is another easy way to get wireless tethering working... i have tried the wireless tether app buy it hasn't worked for me and i am not sure how to fix it

Wifi tether help w/ 2.1

Hey everyone,
I'm pretty new to the forums so please bear with me if I'm posting in the wrong spot or totally missed a similar thread.
I just recently decided to go ahead and root my phone after the 2.1 update and before that "security patch" closed the hole. So I successfully rooted my HTC (sprint) hero w/ regaw_leinad's post (awesome help thanks btw).
Everything seems to be running great, but one of the main reasons I attempted to go ahead and root my phone was to use some 3rd party apps, most notably the WIFI Tether app.
It installed correctly and everything looks like great except for it doesn't actually seem to connect to anything. I can see the connection just fine on several laptops and even my ipad sees it. I can connect to it, and I can ping the gateway just fine, but when attempting to actually surf the web, grab email, etc it just doesn't work (shows page cannot be displayed).
I've been following a couple of threads that indicate that the something is just simply wrong with the stock 2.1 HTC ROM that prevents it, and you need to change to a custom ROM to get it to work (I think some people are using the MoDaCo (sp??)).
So I'm definitely not opposed to flashing the ROM. Would you agree that is the issue and if so, what ROM should I flash to?
Thanks in advance!

i have the same problem with the stock rom, rooted

i use wifi tether 1.6
http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...il?name=wireless_tether_1_60_htc.apk&can=2&q=
works fine for me on 2.1

Mine connects but without net. I just start up the tether then disable mobile net on the phone then enable it back then works like a charm

Basically, this is a long ass list of different things, but take a look at the bottom post:
Start Wireless Tether
Hold down the red Hang Up button
Tap the last option "Mobile Network to disable my network
Again hold down the red Hang Up button and re-enable my "Mobile Network"
Just confirmed it works - can connect my ipad, mac, pc laptop to it. I'm using a stock 2.1 android that's just been freshly rooted. Spread the word if anyone is having the same trouble.

ah Sim beat me to it

are you using an app off the market or the one on http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether, if so, which version worked for you?

Lol yeah i figured it out yesterday by accident trying to get my laptop going

lol thats slow as he11, must have poor reception usually i can get 1.5 up and .5 down with a 150-300ms ping with good reception.

I had the same problem with the version from the market. I went to the developer's website and there were some newer alternate versions of that app. I installed the one from May 25th (I think) and it works like a charm.
I used the one click root on unrevoked.com to root my Hero

The market version has never worked for me. It actually even says in the notes for the market version there's a new version for the Hero and Legend on the site. That being said, the only one that works for me without disconnecting/reconnecting over and over is 1.60.

"Unable to star tethering. Please try again!"
my hero is definitely rooted i used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572 awhile ago. I downloaded tether app from google code as posted earlier, but every time i click the green tether it stays start tethering then goes to "Unable to star tethering. Please try again!"
I also tried the hang up button trick as mentioned.
Thanks for your help.
ps. I haven't changed any settings am i supposed to in the Wireless Tether for Root Users? Also is there a specific way to install? I just downloaded by emailing my self url and installing from the device.
please delete: I repsted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6897861#post6897861

Verizon NFL app

Has anyone been able to successfully bypass the the verizon firewalls and been able to have the nfl .apk app to work on the captivate or vibrant?

I downloaded it after using market access to emulate verizon. It installed but just hung on the initial load screen when opened up. I really wanted it too!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

I want this too!!

The guys in the nexus forum have been working on this for a while. He finally thought he had gotten passed it, and posted the apk on a different forum. Someone posted the apk on twitter and verizon caught wind of it and sent him a C&D letter. Plus cracking the apk is one thing, but trying to crack vcast is not going to happen. Looks like we are stuck the the espn apk.

Does anyone have a happy alternative to our dilema, other than ESPN's Score Center? It rocked on the iphone, a little too laggy on android. Maybe a good raido app that streams NFL games? Im in Tennessee, and im trying to get my Chicago Bears games. Please, someone help!

i wouldnt think it would be that hard to say get the apk off of the fascinate and then emulate whatever the communications between the phone and verizons server is.........pretty much spoofing verizons server for the app into thinking that its a verzion branded android device and therefor allowing any phone to access it...... of course if it was that easy it would already be done lol.

Looks like they figured it out over in the evo 4g section!!! Only works on wifi for us currently, make sure to reboot your phone after you install.

Just check around here. There is a link on the page on this link that downloads NFL.apk, but i have not tested it yet.

I tested it. Cannot get it to work over 3G or Wifi. It just sits there and loads forever.

Try rebooting. On my G1 it works over both, but on my gf's captivate it only works on wifi.

i downloaded it, ran droidexplorer to install it and it works flawlessly over wifi. However 3g does not work.
Reboot your phone if it just loads forever

This is amazing....too bad it doesn't work for me on 3G, would love to watch the noon games while i am tailgating on Sunday...

try this out
Hi I am on att using captivate, I just installed this app today and was only able to connect thru wifi as well. I had to get some stuff done round the house and so I turned off my wifi while the NFL app was still running and to my surprise the app still worked and appears to be using my 3G connection.

Works on 3g for me
Yeah I actually downloaded an unlocked apk file at droidforums.net. It is working great over 3g as well for me as of right now on my Captivate.
I however cannot post the link but I will post the apk file.
Also, I'm not sure if it matters but I did have it running first with my wifi on and then I turned it off to test it on 3g. They also have an unlocker tool on that website but I didn't have to use it. Hope it works for you guys.
EDIT: By the way, when you download this through your phone, use Astro or some other file manager to rename it to an .apk file.

NFL Verizon used to work on wireless now not working
Anybody still using this? Even though the app used to run on wireless (3g used to give me some error) after the season got kicked off for real I got a message that I wasn't a Verizon customer. The live streaming never worked, but the app and some of the videos did. I'm running SRE v1.2.2.a (which I know I have to update) but it did work before....anyone else have any luck?
***I must not have been logged in before because I didn't see the zip file above my post last time I saw it, I'll give that one a go***

Worked for me just fine on wifi last night.

still doesn't work on 3g...but
it worked on wifi and I was streaming the NFL channel. It seemed to keep going after I ditched the wifi and was just on 3g, but it won't fire if I just open it up on 3g....

one interesting thing I noted yesterday is that when I turn Mobile AP on and connect my roommate's Vibrant on T-Mo it worked fine, which tells me the app itself is what blocks it from working over 3G vs something like blacklisting the IP's from AT&T, T-Mo, and Sprint...

yeah I mean the only way I get it to work on 3g is if I start it on wireless and then turn wireless off, so there is a check somewhere. Wonder if the app could be faked into thinking it was on wireless or something like that. Anybody have this working on 3g straight from the get go? I get "cannot connect to NFL Mobile. please establish a connection and try again"

Google's WiFi Tether app

Has anyone been able to get any version (2.0.7 or 3.x beta) of Google's WiFi Tether app working on their rooted Droid Bionic? Link to app
It didn't seem to work for this guy at the end of the video: Link
For me tethering is critical for work and I don't want to activate my Droid Bionic (which is coming tomorrow) until it can be confirmed working. Will keep using Thunderbolt for now... I can also imagine this is a huge issue for many other users.
However, I am aware that Motorola devices need some kind of device profile in the "Change Device-Profile" option in the settings of that app, has anyone played around with that, maybe choosing the Droid X or other Droid?
Any feedback greatly appreciated...

I hope you find a solution soon, I also have the same problem

Don't bother until a custom ROM comes out that can "hide your ass".

Since it is for work, paying for the monthly tether should be a business expense.

I tried some of the work-arounds on the net... barnacle did not work for me... choosing the droid x profile in device setup at least showed my wifi hot spot, but I could not obtain an IP... I had also noticed errors about dhcp in the log.

exactly, in the mean time your going to be stuck using PDAnet and a USB cable.

Got it, rooted it, figured it out. Use version 2.0.7. Change the LAN option to 10.10.1.x
Also it only works in ad-hoc mode but at least its a start. I'm sure updates will fix it.

Woot! I don't own one but I am glad you got it going perhaps a screenie of some data transfer?
Also try this with the 3. beta if you don't mind

Can't get 3 beta to work at all but it doesn't offer anything other than ad-hoc mode also. Also doesn't show data going through on the app. But hey at least it works.

Can anyone confirm the 2.0.7 wireless tether working?

not working
2.07 not working for me even using the 10.1 network. clients fail to obtain an IP address.

Same problem here - wifi tethering not working...

The newest 3.x didn't work for me. Has anyone tried manually setting the client's IP/Gateway/DNS? I don't remember what the dhcp issued on my incredible, otherwise I'd go grab my laptop and mess around with different static settings.

It takes a long time I noticed. Wait for the little blue notification icon to appear that shows the device is connected. Can take as long as 3 minutes sometimes but it works for me I assure you. The key thing is the 10.10.1.x network which is still unblocked because VPN's can use that network, anything other than that won't work.

I can't get wifi tehthering to work but just using the phones built in usb tehering option works and does not send me to a page to subscribe for tethering. Don't know why this works but if I try the built in wireless tethering it says I have to sign up. EDIT Was working on launch day but tried again today and won't work so I guess the system wasn't updated the first day I tried it.

Hi,
I found way to enable Hotspot without Verizon Provisioning. I used SQLLite Editor to modify settings.db for "Settings Storage" application ( com.motorola.android.providers.settings ). Set entitlement_check to 0 and reboot the phone.

I just tried this. It appears to be working. I was able to connect and browse from my laptop. Now the question is, does Verizon still know I'm tethering even though I'm not paying to tether?

I second. Works for me a well, with no warning or pop up. Cudos to you my good man

Just did it and all seems fine so far.
btw, WOW. Ive never poked around the databases like that. Everything from the hdmi overscan to wifi info is in there. That is So cool.

Works for me too! However, only works properly with WPA security. If Hotspot is set to "open", you can connect but get no internet...

[Q] Wired tether?

Is there a wired tether app out there for use on our D3 that successfully works? I'm running the latest Gummy ROM.

I use Easy Tether and it works perfectly, am running stock rom. hope that helps

Have you tried the built in USB tether in the Wireless/Networks settings area?
Not certain about Gummy but most custom roms seem to have it working.

PDANet
I have been using PDAnet for more than a year, rooted, unrooted, stock ROM and it works well. Recently added a wi-fi feature. Reasonable cost to support the app.

Built in will not work unless you buy the service from Verizon. I use PDA Net. Works very well. My only complaint is that you have to enable USB debugging to make it work.

i've tried the built in and its not working, at least not that i can tell: i plug it in, enable USB debugging, and then disable mass storage, then plug it in, check off enable the built in tether, and restart my computer and it doesn't seem to notice it.....am i doing something wrong?

Try setting the USB to PC mode.
Also, make sure you have the drivers installed:
32 bit: http://www.mediafire.com/?71c12qc4a1svqza
64 bit: http://www.mediafire.com/?8rb7bpvp2b9vy2f
When you enable USB tether it should automatically initialize the Motorola virtual network adapter on your computer.
If you still do not see anything then it must not work with your rom and a 3rd party app would probably be easiest.

Once again, this WILL NOT WORK with a stock Droid 3. Assuming everything works properly, you will sort of get an Internet connection on the computer...sort of...But the only place it will take you is to a Verizon Wireless page telling you you "If you would like to subscribe to mobile Broadband Connect or 3G Mobile Hotspot call..." with a couple of phone numbers and also telling you that its an extra $20 per month for this service.

Yes. OP said he is running Gummy, not stock.
Verizon users report that this works on Eclipse and Maverick and they do not subscribe. It may or may not work on Gummy but it does not hurt to try.

It should work. It isn't too much different than CM9 or AOKP.
