Hey guys, I just bought myself a HTC One V to upgrade from an Optimus V on VMs Beyond Talk plan. The Optimus severed me well for a while but the internal storage limitation and general sluggishness of the phone prompted me to update. One thing it handled very well though was running Foxfi so I could tether my iPad to it, which actually became my main reason for using the phone other then internet radio and talking. However, this is something that is not working out-of-the-box on my HTC One V, even using Apex Launcher to reveal the hidden "Mobile Hotspot" application on the phone will not work and does the same thing (allows hotspot to be created, lets devices connect, but does NOT allow internet access to the devices) So before I send this back and return to the safety of my Optimus V I'd just like to know for sure if one of the many root-needed tether apps out there will allow an iPad to connect to a mobile Wifi hotspot created by this phone (not USB or bluetooth DUN) because I see many posts out there that state rooting did not help the issue. Thanks in advance guys, keep up the good work.
Do restore factory it may work.
hit thanks if I helped u!!!

If not, one of the many gurus around here can help you to safely unlock the bootloader and root your phone... believe me, once you jump in the pool, you don't wanna get out. For any general assistance in that area, feel free to also message me as I am more than happy to help you out.
I rooted my gf's virgin mobile htc one v and absolutely no tethering apps work. Also there are no responses to the tethering threads on the forum. So much for the gurus

Install one of the roms with WiFi tether support. PAC cm10 aokp extreme sense. Just use titanium backup of backup and restore her apps so she doesn't get pissy at you for messing with her phone lol

I don't think anybody has the answer for that. Everybody says put this rom or the other one but I haven't read anybody saying: "I have this x rom installed and wifi hotspot worls".

I've been trying to get wifi tethering working on stock roms and it hasn't been going well, however, I'm on PACman rom right now with wifi tethering working like a charm
I'm running the rooted stock rom and the standard yellow wifi tether app works fine for me. Sometimes it will randomly go down and have to be restarted but not more than once a day. Also I've never been able to get FoxFi to work on this phone yet.
Settings I use if this helps you guys who can't get it working:
Profile: Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)
Setup-Method: Netd-Ndc (master)
WiFi-driver reload: on
Routingf fix: on
what is the "standard yellow wifi tether app" ?
The app he is referring to is: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
Use the settings he mentioned in his post. Your device does need to be rooted but I can confirm that it will allow tethering with no problem on stock ROM.

Thank you!!!! I had rooted my One V today and tried a few tether apps but none of them worked. Remembered I made this thread a while back asking about it and figured I should check it out. This was the first app I tried and of course it didn't work, but I applied the settings you suggested and now works like a charm!! Will still probably flash to something else but just knowing it works on stock is reassuring. Much appreciated!

I'm in the same boat, I posted here long time ago and decided to check again today and it looks that there is a fix now. So how do you like the phone over the LG Optimus V? I bought the HTC ONE V a couple of months ago but didn't activate it because I need the tethering once in a while. How did you root it?
Wifi hotspot only works on JB roms it seems.

I have rooted and flashed VirusROM on my HTC EVO 4G. I used to be able to use Sprint's Hotspot app to tether Wifi to my carputer. I was using it Thursday on the way to my in-law's place for Thanksgiving. I left and then could not get it to work again. The computer connects and the signal is at full strength but all browsers say "Page cannot be displayed" and my weather updates down load anymore. I tried using other computers/devices and all connect but none show an internet connection. I can use Google Maps, send/receive pics and videos, and use the internet on my EVO but I cannot share it. Did Sprint cut me off? Is there a setting I mistakenly changed?? I was under the impression that I can tether for free when its rooted. I even download to different tether apps and got the same results. Anybody have any suggestions? Any and all help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks in advance...

Although I am not using wifi tether, I am using the built in wireless tether through Miui. It is working flawlessly on my Mac. I suggest you change your SSID and maybe your password. If no success delete your network settings and try again.

I've never heard of Miui. I'll try that next. I already tried changing the SSID, the passwords, and even the encryption type and nothing worked...I'm gonna go back and try it all again. Thanks for the input, dude!!
Didn't know Miui was a ROM...I like the way I have everything set on Virus so I was hoping to not have to change ROM's. Thanks again though! Please keep suggestions coming, guys!

Try this link, not sure which one will work for you but the pre-14 works for me. Just try each one untill you find one that works on your ROM, sorry I can't point you to ont that I know will work on that rom. I know the link says Nexus one but they will work on the Evo just fine. Most of these act just linke a router, not an ad-hoc.

Sprint's HotSpot and Wifi Tether don't give the option and Barnacle was already set on Channel 1 :/ Thanks though
Wireless tether is what I was talking about I use pre 14, just open the app and menu/settings, its the 4th option down.
I don't know how I missed that option. I went in and changed it to Channel 1 but no change...my roommate came home and sparked up his Incredible's hotspot and it worked perfectly of the bat...something has got to be wrong with my EVO
does your evo say that a device connected and does it show that anything downloaded under the wireless tether app mine used to get stuck at just over 1kb of data then i modded my framework_res.apk and somehow i can tether again
It does seem to stay on a very low KB like 1.1...although it does show the devices that are connected...
Mine did the exact same thing although im not entirely sure what I did that fixed this I edited the xml code for the notification bar and edited the notification bar which somehow caused my tethering to work

I was rooted and running Barnacle just fine in Froyo, then upgraded to GB. Now it does not seem to be working. Im rooted in GB still (just be a different program) and it shows Barnacle has root access.
It goes and says NAT is unavail, restarting NAT.. and nothing after that.
Heres a screen shot of what its saying:
Guess this is a common error with GB
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...e-any-roms-dont-have-wifi-tether-blocked.html
Seems like GB has a built in wifi/hot spot thats taking over control of the avail network.
So far i havnt come across a fix
Also tried Open Garden to no avail
----------------------------------
EDIT: Update in post #7
Anyone find anything for a work around?
Im thinking about going back to Froyo

I followed these instructions after installing the wifi-tether beta 6
coopmatt80 said:
OK, got it to work.
I used the latest android-wifi-tether (beta 6). In the settings go to "Device Profile" and change it to Motorola Droid X, then connect. After you connect toggle the Pro into airplane mode and toggle it off again. You should be able to surf and will not get the "Verizon" pay wall. I know its one added step, but it's a whole lot easier and cheaper then paying $20+ more a month...

Yes you are correct. But with Verizon you have to pay an additional, I believe, $20 a month for the built in feature.
If you're rooted there are apps put there where you can do it for free at your own risk.
I did find a solution to the problem a week or two ago. But last Friday I upgraded to the Razr. And will have to find a work around for that phone haha.
Well I have read through the development thread of ktoonsez and task's kernel and rom and even used yes search in the thread and have come up with no answers. When I was on ICS I had no issue with Wi-Fi tethering but since I have moved to this rom I can create the hotspots however there is no internet connection. I found a couple posts in the thread using the search but they seem to be gone from the actual thread since after I click the link it's not on the page that pops up.
I am currently running both the ktoonsez & task rom and kernel (latest versions) on a bell I747m with MVLDLK4 modems on MTS . I don't have a tethering plan but when I was on ICS it didn't seem to matter. Can anyone help me out or point me in the right direction?

If you are talking about using the WIFI Tether app Jelly Bean essentially broke it. The devs are working on a fix. XDA member Treve has a mod that will get it to work though. His OP is posted in the Verizon forums but I can assure you it works on our AT&T phones. I used it last night. There is an issue worth noting that once you tether and untether your WIFI won't work again until you clear cache and reboot. It is a minor annoyance IMO but I threw it out there so no one freaks out.
If you are talking about straight stock tethering I haven't run into the issue myself. My stock tether/WIFI hotspot works flawlessly. After updating to 4.1.1 did you do a full data wipe? If not I would recommend it. I ran into all kinds of bugs after doing the Kies update. Battery drain, Google Now had a learning disability, etc.
Do a google search for Treve WIFI Tether mod for the link and give it a go. In the OP he says that secure tethering doesn't work. It does. Used it last night as a test.
Also if you have a rooted phone already download mobile odin. You can have the app reflash the stock .tar and inject everoot and SuperSU. That's what I generally do when a new OTA is released. Hasn't failed me yet. Any questions shoot me a PM.

Wifi Tether works. The old version stopped working for me after upgrading to JB, but I downloaded a different beta. You have to download the TrevE Mod, wifi_tether_v3_3-pre2.apk.
Also I had to change some settings.
Device profile is set to GS3.
Fallback tether is enabled.
Send Netd Max Client Cmd is enabled.
Both Wifi-driver reload options are enabled.
MSS clamping is enabled.
Routing fix is enabled.
This works for me. Sometimes no data will come through but restarting my phone fixes the problem. I'm rooted on stock JB.

Now that S-OFF is available and many people have root, I thought I would help everyone get Wifi Tether working.
Download the attached APK. WifiTether APK
It's available all over the internet, so I don't have a link to the source.
Use the following settings (you must have root):
Device-Profile: Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)
Setup-Method: Auto
Enable Wifi-Encryption: Checked
Change SSID and Passphrase to your liking
Wifi-driver reload: Unchecked
Wifi-driver reload 2: Checked
MSS clamping: Checked
Routing fix: Checked
That should do it. Hope that helps anyone that was having issues. Start tethering and grant superuser permissions. It may ask you to grant twice. Make sure you accept both.
Enjoy!
This will appear as a regular AP, not via ad-hoc.
Not working here. Starts without errors but I can't see it as an available on any device
Edit: got it working using this app version: https://db.tt/pMu7HVV1. Settings as follows:
Generic ics/jb (wlan0)
WiFi encryption
WiFi driver reload
Unchecked everything else and it works perfectly . Thanks for the guidance and post.

There is s thread that allows you to enable the native tethering if you want to keep the stock operating system and not use an aftermarket Rom. It's a lot less hassle than trying to get WiFi tether to work. Most Roms out already has native tethering working. I feel the connection is way better using the native tethering over the app.

I know this is probably not the section for this topic but there have been several posts on it with no definitive answers....I use FoxFi WiFi Tether on all my devices without a glitch, even the new Nexus 5, but not this phone " WHY ????? ", it doesn't make sense. With this device it shows a connection to the computer but it wont allow the internet connection....I can use the USB function of the FoxFi but have to install PDAnet to work. I know TrevE WiFi Tether app is installed with most Roms and works to a certain degree but not copletely with ZVC. From what I can deduce, it has something to do with the WPA (WPA2) settings for the phone. This is obviously a Dev issue so will someone with the know-how fix this problem for everyone....Personally, I will be happy to donate to someone to get it done.....so "Brains", get a project going on it and help us out....Thanks...

I never had a problem with Treve Wifi tether, although I don't use it for long at a time I just set device to galaxy nexus cdma/lte and it works. I do wish we had the native option enabled like my wifes S3 and our old Evo's, the native option is by far the best.

Thank you for your response. I've tried every setting possible that I know of for TrevE wifi, and like I said, I can connect but it does not let me download torrents and any tracked downloads. When I was on ZV9 Lifeless it worked fine but upgrading to ZVC caused the problems. I will ask you as I asked the other responder, please try to download a torrent with Utorrent and let me know if you can. If you can I would appreciate knowing what Rom, Kernel and Wifi settings you have. Thanks.

Have you tried with any aosp roms using native tether?

Well actually, I've downloaded a couple thinking that would work and tried to install but I can't get data working. I even tried that "apn" fix. At first, I downloaded Kit Kat 4.4, then CM 11. After initial install I don't have any service what so ever then after the "apn" fix, I have service but no data. I've never used AOSP Roms before so apparently I have no idea what I am doing installing them. If you have any pointers I would appreciate it.
PM me if you want.

It may be something with your phone then if you cant get tether on any aosp rom. Did you use Freegee to flash recovery? I only ask because the newer aosp roms some require a special recovery for them to flash correctly but if you use Freegee either recovery works just fine.

I guess I'll try to install an AOSP Rom again and see what happens...oh boy :/
I flashef back to dev edition 5.0 and used Treve wifi tether to download a torrent on my wifes S3. The only thing I did was change device profile to generic wlan0 and check send netd max client cmd.

I was hoping you could do it on this device. TrevE's works on my other phones too, just not this one.
use native
WiFi hotspot on aosp ROMs or custom ROM I'm using Cm11 to feed wifi to my nexus 7 from my ls970.

I know this is an issue with the OG because its the only phone FoxFi does not work on.....and Ive tried 17 different phones, all the major brands and a couple china phones too. On my old S3, both FoxFi and TrevE worked fine...Is there a built in firewall in the WiFi system of this phone? Damn i wish I knew how to rewrite script...

Im kinda confused now because I've download torrents on my phone and my nexus 7 using utorrent and wifi tether, I just downloaded the Scott Pilgrim vs. the World soundtrack on my nexus 7 so I know it works. I will try Foxfi and see what happens but I would guess Treve wifi would be the better option. Have you tried Treve wifi using the settings I mentioned above, I've been using treve wifi since evo3d days and never had a problem once I got it setup properly.
if we can get through entitlement checks for the tether all the others will work after that i bet. i suck at smali but there are lots of devs that done in here. any takers?

Yes, I've tried your settings. I have the DE v5 download....I'll install it again and try your settings on that Rom....do kernels have anything to do with the wifi stuff?
Thanks for continuing to try and help...

So basically you are saying it is possible to make the wifi tethering issues better for this device, just finding a Dev to work out the problems is the issue..
Like I've said before, I don't mind donating to that project if someone will step up to do it. I'm simple minded when it comes to stuff like that but would it not be possible to copy code from another LG device ( like the Nexus 5) that tether works well and just work it in?

i was looking at another source for the sprint gs4 it is missing all the entitlement smali code in services.jar so even if you delete the entitlement code you have to sift through the other files to delete any other code that defines the entitlement code. ill pull both of them up on a diff viewer.
and see how different they really are....

OK I thought you were trying to download on your phone. On your computer you have to make sure the correct ports are open. Im not sure but I think the ports that need to be open for torrents start around 6881 and if its not open the program will try to use the next available port that can be used for torrents. Vuze makes setup easy and is much faster than bittorrent or utorrent and its not constantly downloading background stuff like bittorrent and utorrent.
