So I got a Nexus on Sunday and rooted it on Tuesday. I have read about setting up tethering on the device. It seems to be a hit or miss from what I understand. Does the Nexus 6 really tether or not? I'm lost with all the comments from researching online. Can any take the time and explain to me the whole Nexus 6 tethering on VZW?

Tethering on VZW once you are rooted is VERY easy.
You need to add the line "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true" to your build.prop file
then reboot the phone, and setup tethering.
see this post for details:

Just ordered a Moto X for Verizon and I need to find information about tethering this phone to my pc. I use this alot because I have unlimited data through VZW... So it would be really nice to continue using it.

As of right now you'd need to root (then use WiFi Tether, or make the necessary changes to use the stock tethering). FoxFi doesn't work w/ the Moto X on KitKat at the moment. No word on when it will, but it may be related to a cert issue in KitKat.
Root is no issue for me... I think the longest any of my phones have gone without root access is maybe 6 days from purchase... I've always rooted my phones. First thing I researched when ordering the X was whether or not they had root for kitkat

try using easy tether ... and foxfi has updated and works on kitkat on my s4... get the add-on and key, and you're golden :good:
You didn't define whether the phone you ordered is a Developer Edition. Because as far as I know only the DE can be rooted on Verizon.
Since I didn't see a thread about this wanted to start it. Has anybody successfully gotten WiFi Hotspot after rooting? Found a thread in the Sprint S5 forums about it here, don't know if we could use this same method.

Install Xposed Framework and download a module named X Tether. It will allow the native wifi tether to function.

Works like a charm with att unlimited plan. Make sure you restart after installing x tether. THANKS!
So X Tether can provide a mobile Hotspot or is it for "tethering"? If it's for tethering I already use clockworkmod tether for that.
EDIT: Got it working, thanks for all the help everybody. Now I wonder if we can get a Mobile Hotspot indicator in the notifications bar. Guess I need to follow the thread I posted and I'll let you guys know how it goes. Leaving this thread open for now if anybody needs future help with this.

If you want a "cleaner" method that goes through the default Mobile Hotspot, try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2310850. Works for me and I'm on a non-AT&T SIM.
If anybody is interested in the wifi Hotspot toggle in their notifications menu, follow the link I posted.

I have a Sprint Nexus 6 (bought through Sprint), 32GB blue version. It is running stock 5.0.1 (LRX22C) that is rooted and unlocked. I was successfully able to get the line added to settings.db and add the net.tethering... line in (http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/help/sprint-nexus-6-wifi-tethering-root-t2949024). My hotspot even turns on, and I can get other devices to connect to my phone. However, I cannot get internet access on the devices. I get a DNS error. I manually set the DNS servers used to Google's servers, and it did not fix it.
I had no issues on my GS5 with DNS, and I am getting very frustrated with this phone and hotspot. Can anyone help me get it going?

You have to use sqlite and add something else in order for it to work
Follow this thread for instructions, I just don't feel like posting them

I did that. That's the settings.db change, as indicated in the thread I linked to. Again. My hotspot turns on, but I get no internet on the device I connect to the phone.

Well prior to the new update, my Hotspot worked fine, now it no longer shows on devices or if it does it's a painful time to get it to connect and if it happens to connect, it doesn't work anymore. Anyone run into this or know of any solutions?

Who is you carrier? Is tethering in your plan? Have you tried adding this line to your build prop? net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
Add that line to the end, save and reboot. Works well with vzw

Yup, you're right. I just checked. FWIW, AT&T with a family share plan which includes tethering. Unrooted 48I.
I did check USB tethering, and that does work.

Already been doing that since 5.0 with sql edits and all, this update broke it along with a few Bluetooth issues. Now I have sprint and it's weird, when I'm on b25 or b26 it works fine, but when I'm on b41,thats when it breaks

Hmmm, well at least that works, but it's just weird this update broke it, hopefully someone will have some insight or the next update will fix it.

Just gonna give this a healthy bump, just to see if anyone has figured anything out, I've tried everything from erasing the tether add-ons to re-adding them but I still get nothing when it comes to b41 but b25 and 26 work okay.
Mod please close or leave for others benefit, a cache clear with twrp fixed the Hotspot and Bluetooth issues I was having
UPDATE
Still broken....

As title states, is it possible?

Just use the phones native tethering.
It should be in your settings. No need to do anything else special.

I have always used Foxfi to tether on custom roms on AT&T phones and have not been detected as long as I only tethered an android tablet. They could detect a Windows PC unless I used a VPN.
I cannot use Foxfi on 5.1.1 roms on the N910T since it gets an error. I can run native tethering and it works fine, but have only done it a little bit since I am kind of wary about being detected - I have already been warned twice already a couple years ago. I, too, wanted to make sure it was undetectable by AT&T if I used the native tethering instead of Foxfi with its proxy.
I unlock my Samsung Note 4 T-Mobile with sim-unlock code, but I've heard that I cannot use this phone with internet 3G, 4G or LTE i'm outside US. And also I need another code to unlock this feature. I cannot check if I can use 3G Internet or not. Somebody knows that for sure?
