internet tethering via wifi hotspot or usb. has been workin on most custom roms.. if u can get to down to hspa+ or 3g.. it only doesnt work right now on lte for some reason. u can tether lte via usb if u add a software like pdanet or easy tether
Wifi Tether 3.1 beta 12 not working on rooted HTC Vivid
Wifi Tether 3.1 beta 12 not working on the following:
Rooted HTC Vivid
Android 2.3.4
HTC Sense 3.0
Software number 1.63.502.4
----------------------------
Start Wifi Tether
Go to Settings
Select Device Profile -> default
Select Device Profile -> generic
Select Device Type -> Galaxy Nexus LTE <-- NOT AVAILABLE ***
Select Device Profile -> Samsung Galaxy Nexus (cdma/lte) -> CLOSE MATCH
Select Change Setup-Method -> netd (master), also tried others
Select Enable WiFi-Encryption -> Your Choice
Select Routing Fix -> also tried without this option
Start Tether and allow Root
----------------------------------------
Sometimes phone brought up wifi; however, rooted ASUS eepad running ICS would not detect.
Note: Wifi Tether does work on rooted Atrix running Ginerbread
After the update to Jellybean the Wifi hotspot stopped working for me. I have a Motoactv that I also used with the bluetooth tethering. So I was particularly unhappy. I found out that you can work around this though.
1. Buy sqlite from the market
2. Open com.android.providers.settings
3. Open settings.db
4. Open Secure
5. Look for subscription_mode - set this to 1(should be _id 67)
6. Open com.motorola.android.providers.settings
7. Open settings.db
8. Open settings
9. Look for entitlement_check - set this to 0(should be _id 79)
10. Reboot
11. Enjoy
Note: For me #67 disappeared after this, and was moved to #285 and set to 0 after this was done(by the hotspot program).
I'm just wondering where the next place they move it to will be.

Doesn't work for me
This doesn't work for me on JB 2.06. I set subscription_mode to 1 and JB keeps reseting is back to zero after restart. For steps 6-10, I don't have entitlement_check.

I tried this and the subscription mode resets to 0 after rebooting.
When I turn on the mobile hotspot it gets stuck at "turning on" and doesn't work, any ideas?
Remove Safestrap
No Idea why this happens, but if I have Safestrap enabled(can be installed, just not enabled) my wifi hotspot will do that. Soon as I disable it, boom it starts working.

Title says it all.
I wiped cache, dalvik, and system before flashing using safestrap 3.62 or 3.65 (whichever is latest, I updated today). Everything went smoothly after I figured out I had to boot the system first, then reboot into recovery, then install gapps (using the one linked from the nightly release post in this forum).
I need tethering, as my phone is my only internet connection. Wifi tethering for root users starts, with errors, says it got permission (twice) but puts out no SSID, in spite of the green icon being lit.
Is there a hidden toggle somewhere in Avatar ROM that I need to know about?
Posting this from my Bionic with 20-month-old Eclipse release, that works PERFECTLY
Thanks in advance!
You don't need a wifi tether app. Just go to settings > wireless & network > more... > tethering & portable hotspot > set up wi-fi hotspot

Very funny. That gives me the verizon paywall.
Hi all,
After unlocking my phone which is a global version 64gb model, I had installed CM13. Wifi was working fine previously. After CM was installed I cannot get wifi to connect. It will show authentication failed and obtaining ip but won't obtain. It shows its mac address and scans wifi just fine. I can run wifi analyzers but it just won't connect. I have tried installing other roms, even installing the original roms and re-locking the device to stock with no success. I have reset my router and verified other devices can connect as well as trying other open wifi ssid's. I have also completely formating the whole phone and reinstalled roms from scratch, again no success. I have been searching through forums for about 2 weeks now and every recommendation has not worked. I love this phone but not having wifi is killing me. I am experiencing no other issues. One clue I do have which google is not providing answers to is the error i got when CM first installed and other times which i can't determine the scenarios to recreate which is
E:Unable to write to ums lunfile '/sys/module/g_android/parameters/file'
Unable to locate storage device.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Much
I have the same problem. I've installed CM 21.11 and gaaps stock via TWRP 3.0.2.0 and after this wi-fi can't authenticate. I did the same steps as topic starter and also tried different wi-fi settings in router and wi-fi without pass. Nothing helped
Please help! Any thoughts can be helpful.
I have exactly same issue as OP. I did everything like him and got no result.
Please help someone. I love my MI5 but i need wifi.
I have exactly the same issue and posted about it just a little earlier
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/help/wifi-connectivity-problem-t3517777
The difference being that the WiFi was working just fine even when I installed CM 13.1 for the first time. WiFi stopped to connect when I did a full Swipe in TWRP (all partitions).
It would be great if someone could help...
Try to give a chance to CM14.1 installed after a full wipe, I am using WiFi every day with wpa2 shared key and also radius auth 2.4 and. 5 GHz without problems and the overall performances are good
I have CM 14.1 at the moment and the problem is the same.
I'm no specialist but it doesn't seems to be a ROM related issue.
In this case I would try with stock MIUI after a full format and wipe, then in case of success again with CM14.1. Format is important because with encrypted data wipe isn't enough

Thanks for your assistance.
Done that but didn't solve the issue...
I had the same problem, same symptoms.
I too flashed a new ROM and couldn't connect to any AP, I tried various ROMS, MIUI 7 & 8 and CM 13 & 14.1.
Though I think I found a solution (it worked for me ). I simply changed my MAC-adress and I was able to connect to my home WiFi.
I'm running CM 14.1-2016225-NIGHTLY-gemini on MI5.
This is what I did to fix my WiFi:
First prepare an new MAC-address. I personally don't know when a MAC-address is considered valid, so I just took one from an other device. I used the mac address of my previous mobile phone, which could connect to my router.
1. Disable WiFi.
3. Enable debugger settings (Setting>about Phone>Press build number repeatedly).
2. Enable root (Develepor settings>root access set to "Apps and ADB").
3. Open the file manager app.
4. Give the file manager app root access (menu>Settings(cog in lower left corner)>General settings>Access mode set this on "Root Access mode").
5. Now find the file root/etc/firmware/wlan/qca_cld/ and open wlan_mac.bin.
You should see something similar to:
Code:
Intf0MacAddress=XXXXXXXXXXXX
Intf1MacAddress=XXXXXXXXXXXX
END
6. Change the first to your new MAC-address, but first write down the old one, so you can change it back if this method doesn't work for you.
The last X of the next line should be a digit higher than the previous line. E.g:
Code:
Intf0MacAddress=957FDC328BF[B]4[/B]
Intf1MacAddress=957FDC328BF[B]5[/B]
END
(This MAC-address most likely won't work).
7. Save the file. You might need to press the save button a few times.
8. Check if the file has changed.
9. Check if you MAC-address has changed (Settings>WiFI>Configure-WIFI(cog in right upper corner)).
10. Enable WiFi.
I hope this works for everyone that has the same problem.
I'm on MIUI EU 8.1.70 Nougat then i fastboot flash or recovery mode to MIUI Global 8.1.2.0 Marshmallow WIFI NOT WORK
But,
I managed to get the wifi working again with edl mode flashing with MIUI Global 8.1.20.
I will try to move to CM again, maybe this time wifi will work..
Wish me luck, will post the result later
RESULT:
Not Worked.

This method work, thanks a lot.
But, for me it's required a valid MAC-address
Pekkuky!
Thank you for your time sharing your knowledge on this topics many days old.
Awesome! You made my day. It work.
I just want to add my experience that might be useful for others.
I tried with a automatically generated MAC and it didn't work.
I followed your advice and repeated with a MAC address of an old e-reader and it worked instantly.
Thanks again!
Pekkuky, thanks a lot. Now I can use CM derived ROMs, great.
Later on after trying solution by Pekkuky, i have problem in turning on hotspot tethering and usb tethering. Anyone can confirm this or this is just me.
Hotspot tethering is working on mine. Before this fix it didn't.
Haven't tried usb tethering though.

I was really thinking I would have to throw away the phone. Love for you, really, worked flawlessly. Used this website to generate a MAC http://www.miniwebtool.com/mac-address-generator/

works like a charm
thanks mate, u saved my phone! :highfive:
using this website for generating an mac-adress too
http://www.miniwebtool.com/mac-address-generator/
Thanks Pekkuky for the trick. This problem appeared after flashing lineage os 14.1 using twrp. Then I tried different versions of global stable/developer roms (both fastboot and recovery) but nothing worked. Finally this trick worked Used the miniwebtool site for generating mac-address.
Hello there
I finally completed installing Lineage OS to my Mi5 today, following all the official instructions on the Lineage os page.
Everything installed without error - however I can't connect to wifi!
When choosing the wifi network it says "Connecting" quickly followed by "Saved". Occasionally it will say "Authentication failed" or "Disabled".
I can't get it to connect to either 2.4ghz or 5ghz, and both of these were working fine in Miui Global stable rom.
Any insight would be wonderful.
Cheers!
Edit: solution down the thread.
Hi!
Have you tried to reflash rom?
Are you using stock LOS kernel ou another kernel?
Yes I did reflash the ROM once. I assume I'm using the default kernel, I haven't gone to any efforts to use another (I'm a noob )
Solution
Follow up - after much pulling out of hair and freaking out, this solution finally did the job:
