(Q) Wifi Tether TrevE Mod problem - Sprint HTC One (M7)

Hi guys, running a stock rooted rom and have been using TrevE mod to tether with and everything had been working fine. I decided to play with the different setup methods tonight. Out of curiousity I choose the native framework tether, which attempted to use the built in hot spot, which I kinda figured it would do and it of course failed. The problem now is that Ad-hoc will not work. Tried restarting phone, reinstalling app, even re-flashed my current rom and it still will not work. Its like choosing the native framework tether borked something up. Using the same settings I was using previously. Generic ICS/JB profile, adhoc setup and encryption. The encryption failes now too. So been trying without encryption and tried other profiles, but no luck. Short of installing a different rom, anyone have any ideas?

If it isn't broke, why fix it?

Lol, well it did allow me to figure out how to tether to my PS3, but yea I kinda wish I hadn't played with it as much. Knew it might cause trouble. Oh well, got OMJ's rom downloaded and will install tonight to see what happens.

im glad there was a recent thread with this issue, im currently having issues getting the tether app to work. it connects but it doesnt load any pages at all. have both profiles generic ics/jb waln0/wlan1, havent used all the channels yet but at least half of them, with wifi driver checked and unchecked, changed the IP and still no luck. Any ideas on what settings will work or if theres a new APK, i cant figure out what the problem could be. thanks

Well, I got my problem figured out. I was just an idiot. I ended up wiping everything and returning to stock, but my problem ended up being a wrong setting in wifi tether. I wasn't using auto for my setup-method, I kept manually selecting ad-hoc which was my problem. Oh well, it was a learning experience, now I now how to un-brick my phone if needed.

Are you rooted? Are you using the TrevE mod version of the wi-fi tether app? Here are my settings: Profile = Generic ICS/JB (wlan0), Setup method = Auto for PC use or I use Hostapd when connecting to my PS3 (usually have to reboot phone when changing), Channel = 1 and WiFI- driver reload checked. If you start tethering with these settings and you get a message from WiFi tether stating that it started with errors, you may need to reboot you phone, that always does the trick for me.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I can't get WiFi Tether working at all on my stock, rooted HTC One. I've used pretty much every combination of settings out there, and I've restarted, reinstalled, and tried several versions of the APK (including TrevE mod), but I always get the message that the tethering 'Started with Errors." When I check the log, pretty much everything fails, although the number of failures changes depending on my settings. The most common settings online are as follows, and these are what I've tried most often:
Profile: Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)
Setup Method: Auto
WiFi-driver reload: Unchecked
WiFi-driver reload 2: Checked
MSS Clamping: Checked
Routing Fix: Checked
Anyone have ideas? Much appreciated, as using WiFi Tether is honestly one of my favorite reasons for rooting!

I updated to software version 1.31.651.2 a few weeks ago and re-rooted. I think that's when wifi tether stopped working for me too. Are you running 1.31.651.2? Anyone on 1.31.651.2 able to wifi tether? What version of the wifi tether app are you using?

I think I was able to get it working. Download the newest experimental version of wifi tether here (https://code.google.com/p/android-w...v3_4-experimental1.apk&can=2&q=label:Featured) WiFi Tether for Root Users 3.4-experimental1 *** EXPERIMENTAL ***
In settings, change the following:
Change Device Profile = Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)
Change Setup-Method = Auto
WiFi-driver reload should be checked
MSS Clamping and Routing fix should be checked (mine was already checked)
That did it for me. Good luck.

I'm glad to hear you got yours running -- that's awesome! Unfortunately, none of the above worked for me. I had actually already tried that version, but I tried again for the heck of it (already had the APK in my downloads folder, so it was quick). Anyone else had this issue and gotten it resolved? I have software version 1.29xxx in case that's helpful.

I had it stop working for me too. I ended up doing a full factory reset without restoring anything to fix it

I just want to add that the experimental version worked for me also on the HTCOne with the settings above. Thanks.
HTCOne 1.31

I updated to 4.3 and noticed wifi tether no longer works. I tried the changes mentioned in OMJ's Bad Boyz Rom but when I start the app it says started with errors. Wifi works but I can't secure my network any advice?

My WiFi Tether also does not work after the 4.3 update. Laptop does not even see the AndroidTether connection. When I stop the WiFi tether connection, I get an error saying that the phone is in an unknown state and told to restart the phone.

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.

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] 246 wifi tether apk

So I just updated wiht the 246 fxz, rooted my phone, and then went to reinstall the wifi tether apk, the problem is that I don't remember which version I had to use, or even if the same version works after the update.
Anybody got any information? I remember that there was a specific version that worked, I just can't find the thread that said which one again.
I didn't see any threads that talked about getting it set up after the update after searching, so figured I'd ask.
Use the latest beta available on that page with the generic ICS/JB profile on wlan1 and everything should work fine.
I've tried this and it doesn't work. Played with the settings a little, no change. Cleared data, reinstalled, factory reset, still no change.
I've tried multiple computers, so it's not just one PC either...
actually, looks like wifi is broken...

I did something similar to my Droid 3 with radiocomm software and a computer. You basically copy the data connection value and then paste it onto the tethering value. Not sure how it would go with the Bionic but I'll be researching it. I could also just use foxfi...

[Q] VPN \ OpenVPN connection issues?

Has anyone had any success using OpenVPN (or even the built in VPN function) with their HTC One? I've tried a couple different providers through both methods, and though I can successfully connect to the VPN, I can't receive data.
I currently have ViperROM\Bulletproof Kernel, so my next step is to flash to stock and see if I still have problems...but before I do that I was hoping to find someone confirm they've successfully used a VPN with their HTC One.
Thanks!

That's interesting...someone in another thread said theirs wouldn't work at all either. I'm getting my OTG cable so I can backup my phone today and wipe it and try from a fresh stock flash to see if that solves my problem.
Did anybody find a solution I am still having problems. I can establish a VPN connection with the vpn of our university it even tells me that packages are beeing sent and received. BUT once i am connected the internet stops working after a 30-60 seconds. I tried even 3rd party apps like vpn root I can't get it to work.
My build is Trickdroid 11.0 with elementalX Kernel 5.2 allthough I tried also installing 4.22 and 4.1 so the issue appears to be somewhere else. The connection is a pptp with encryption enabled. Pretty old fashion but this shouldn't be the problem, right?

[Q] WiFi Tether Won't Work (even with correct settings)?

I'm running OMJ's ROM and using WiFi Tether TrevE Mod "Version 3.2-beta-modv5-***Synergized***"
Okay so even with the settings that everyone recommends for the HTCone, and a few modifications, I still cannot get the blasted thing to work.
Settings I've tried:
Profile: Generic ICS/JB(wlan0)
Setup-Method: Auto
Encryption ON (p/w is the correct format AFAIK, about 12 lowercase letters no numbers, similar to the default)
Changed SSID to "HTCone" no spaces
Wifi Driver Reload (1) checked
MSS Clamping checked
Routing Fix checked
With those settings, I can't even get it to broadcast. It says it's running but no devices can find it. It simply isn't there.
If I disable Wifi Driver Reload (1) it begins broadcasting. However, when I attempt to connect, the second device just sits there at "Obtaining IP Address..." for about 90 seconds then retries and gets stuck at "Authenticating" then back. An endless loop never resulting in a connection.
The most frustrating thing about this is that it was JUST working the day before. I didn't touch ANYTHING and it just decided to take a dump.
Addendum: I was looking at the notes in the bottom of the ABOUT screen and I noticed the updates are quite old. Is it possible I have an old version that doesn't work with the HTC One? I got it from QBKING77's website.
Happened to me and don't have an answer. I wiped and didn't restore anything to resolve it. Restoring data broke it again.

I had no luck wiping the phone and re-installing the ROM. It was still FUBAR after the fresh flash of OMJ. What drives me NUTS about that is the fact that it was JUST working not 12hrs before it stopped working.
To give some more information as to the issue, it appears that checking either one (or both) of the Force Driver options causes it to not broadcast at all. If either of those two are checked, the hotspot isn't even visible to any device. If left unchecked, the hotspot becomes visible. However, upon trying to connect to the hotspot, it gets stuck in a loop of "Authenticating..." then "Obtaining IP address" which never results in a connection.
I've tried the options listed in that guide you posted, but to no avail.
So, at this point, I'm wondering if it's just because I'm using an outdated WiFi hotspot app. If anyone has one that's been updated since a little under a year ago, I'd appreciate a link. Thanks!

Not sure which one you are using but I'm using the one right from the Play Store v3.3 beta 2. You can also get it from here. I just went back to SWG 1.18 from a 4.2.2 ROM and reinstalled and all is good. Everything connects just fine using those settings from the link I posted earlier.

In the first post I listed which version I was using. Unfortunately, even the newest version fails to work. I don't get this. Maybe it has something to do with the OMJ ROM and how close to stock it is. Perhaps I should try a different ROM.
This is a far cry from the CM7 ROM I had on my EVO which allowed me to tether perfectly all the time without the hassle. Maybe I'll try CM again on my One.
I'm gonna download & flash OMJ's ROM & see if I can recreate it. You running the latest version right?

Similar issue here
I'm having issues with wifi tether on my HTC One, as well. I can tell you that if you set the Device-Profile to "Auto," it will create an ad-hoc connection that my Windows 7/Ubuntu Studio desktop will recognize. Ubuntu recognizes it as a regular wifi hotspot, and connects automatically. Windows recognizes it as an ad-hoc connection, and I have to connect manually. My Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 does not see the connection at all, and neither does my LG Blu-Ray player. If I change the profile to Generic ICS/JB (wlan 1), then other devices see the connection, and will even attempt to connect to it, but there is never a successful connection with internet access. If I choose Generic ICS/JB (wlan 0), then nothing sees it as a viable connection. I am running the stock sense ROM, and have done no updates (so I'm still at JB 4.1). I can tell you that wifi tether errors frequently for me, and I have to reboot quite a lot. If I leave my phone broadcasting overnight, then in the morning wifi tether thinks that I don't have root, and gives me the "your phone is in an unknown state" error message; at that point, the only way to stop the wifi is to reboot.
So, I can make it work, for a limited number of devices. I would like to use it as a wifi connection for my tablet and my Blu-Ray player, however. I have searched quite a bit to try to figure this out, and I haven't been able to find a reliable answer. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
I got mine to work. Can surf the web, check email, etc. now the damn thing will not stream video. I am connected to 4g and speed test on my ipad verify it but won't stream. Pisses me off.

[Q] VZW Moto X as Hotspot

So I am strongly considering the Moto X not that Verizon has Moto Maker and the 32GB verizon. The one thing I love on my current phone running CM10.2 is the ability to tether my laptop to it for internet access without getting charged extra by verizon while I travel. Usually in a monthly billing cycle when traveling with work I'll consume about 20GBs of data. Can I do this with the Moto X without getting charged tether fees? Do I need to root it to do this?
FYI: I'm i'm on an unlimited plan
If you root with RockMyMoto, yes..
For using Wifi Tether for Root app, see -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449534 You MUST use the specific version now linked in the first post, or it wont work.... In other words, do NOT get the version from the Play store. (I'm using this way with my Rooted X, also unlimited plan)
To use the built in tethering app see -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2443562 (I haven't tried it, but there are many reports in that thread of it working).
If you don't want to root, then you could try Foxfi. Not sure if it works, I've never used it.
I have always used THIS, on multiple phones. I'm on the 3.3 beta 2 and it works fine. Go into settings, and make sure the device profile is Generic ICS/JB (wlan0), and check the WiFi driver reload, MSS clamping, and Routing fix options.

For some reason I couldn't get that version to work on my Verizon X. While the PC and tablet saw the X, it saw it as WLAN0, and never properly connected to the phone.
The thread I linked to has a patched version that works properly for me, including seeing the "hot spot" as the SSID I set on the phone, and letting the PC and tablet connect to the phone and get to the internet.
The x is awesome for one. All u gotta do is root and follow the thread to use built In tethering appreciate. Works great. Or better yet flash Nitro's eclipse ROM. Its all done and its a great rom

I did notice the wlan0 where on the other device I had u could change it or use the ssid, but my tab and others will connect? The initial connection always funks up, usually just have to cycle WiFi from the device and cycle tether too. U try reboot, fix perms, and cache/dalvik wipes? Haven't tried modifying that system apk, heard about some issues and this never gives much, if any.

I tried everything. Yes.
I liked the way wifi tether worked on my past phones. Using the patched copy found in this thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449534 , which is also needed for the GNex w/4.2, works just like it did on my Bionic, Thunderbolt, and other past phones. No issues. After initial config and allowing SU, just launch the app, tap to start tethering, go to my PC, Tablets, etc.. and connect and go.
The APK is originally from https://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=1661#c109 however, I just noticed lower down in that discussion a patch was added to the experimental 3.4 ( https://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=1661#c197 ) so I might try that.
I don't feel the need to mess with those system files to use the phone's built in tethering app. I don't have to. I only offered that because some were using it since Wifi Tether for Root wasn't working.

Using the patched copy found in this thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449534 , which is also needed for the GNex w/4.2, works just like it did on my Bionic, Thunderbolt, and other past phones. No issues. After initial config and allowing SU, just launch the app, tap to start tethering, go to my PC, Tablets, etc.. and connect and go.
The APK is originally from https://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=1661#c109 however, I just noticed lower down in that discussion a patch was added to the experimental 3.4 ( https://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=1661#c197 ) so I might try that.
I don't feel the need to mess with those system files to use the phone's built in tethering app. I don't have to. I only offered that because some were using it since Wifi Tether for Root wasn't working.

editig one cell in the system settings to get the built-in hotspot app to work is hardly messing with the system files. i've done this on my last three phones and they've all worked flawlessly. plus the built-in app has decent security features.

I know you read the one thread I posted a link to as you asked about doing the SQL edit, and posted a screen shot from your D4.. Its OP talks about replacing a bunch of APK files which are system files...
In Post #24 of that thread, thepolishguy the SQL tweak doesn't work.
... hence my saying I didn't want to mess with a bunch of system files.
Not to mention, side loading an APK and using it is easier. It might not be "cleaner" or seem as "integrated" but it works.
Awesome thanks everyone. I defintely plan on rooting my phone and installed xposed.
