Hello everyone,
I received an hTC m8 (Harman Kardon edition) as a gift. When I received the device, it was factory locked through Sprint Mobile. After a lot of research on internet and on this forum, I have unlocked it to use GSM services in India, and its working fine now.
But now the problem is it does not have the Tethering option. I want to tether my M8's internet connection with other devices but it has no option to enable WiFi tethering or anything. I have also tried a few third party tethering app from play store like(FoxFi, Wifi Tether, etc..) but had no luck. They all failed to start the hotspot and establish a connection.

Please help me, how can I enable the tethering or internet sharing option on my device.
Device Specs:
1: Model no: 831C
2: Rooted and Unlocked
3: Android Version - 4.4.2
4: S/w Version - 1.54.654.13
Please help me and let me know if more details are required about my device.

Is anyone aware of an app to allow sharing of the phones data connection through WiFi on the HTC Vivid?
Is rooting necessary?
FYI: I'm not interested in AT&T's official data sharing as I'd have to change from my grandfathered unlimited plan.

Temp root your vivid and select option 8 ( Wireless Tether Exploit )...if you're successful share with us.
Looking to purchase the Vivid if it works for my scenario (WiFi Router). If I do end up getting this device and test this I will definately share the results.
Thanks for the info!
WIFI Tether does not work
I tried the WIFI Tether and it does not work when I had the Atrix they were able to modify the entitlement check to have hotspot access is this possible with the Vivid. Thanks
I could never use the Portable Hotspot on my HTC One M7 to share phone Internet connection with other devices.
I get the following message: "There is a temporary network problem that prevents the enablement of the mobile hotspot function"
Can any one help me out?

Call your provider.. I think a lot of the times they keep that locked down... ...so that you will have to PAY them for its use...

Ok so I just got the HTC Desire 510 from cricket wireless last night, now I've been trying to use it on my computer for usb tethering so I can share my phones connection with my pc, my question is how do I unhide the tethering options under network and wireless settings ? I know the option is there because I used a app called usb tethering from the play store and it revealed these hidden options. I think they did this because they don't support tethering but I just want to use my home wifi not my data connection anyway. Any help would be nice thanks.

I am not great guru on these phones (or any for that matter). I have similar situation. Had an Evo4G that would wifi tether after root. This phone (Desire 510) seems to have additional guards. After installing the 3.0.3 of the wifi-tether apk there is a message that appears in the log indicating the phone takes control of the wireless ethernet interface after tethering has started. This kills the wifi tether.
I haven't identified what process is block the wifi tether but there is one called tetherguard. Mine is a Sprint phone so tether is available at a fee. The phone must be capable.
