[Q] WiFi Tethering Not Working

I just got the Epic 4G Touch and I used QBKing77 How to Root the Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch on EL29 and it works great, phone rooted flawlessly. Then I used his How to get free WiFi Hotspot on the Samsung Epic Touch 4G and it installed and starts up perfectly, however it does not show up on any of the wifi lists that are available (laptop, phone, computer) I tried changing some settings in the app, I can not figure out why either its not broadcasting or why its just not showing up on any list of networks.
Any advise or help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks,
Joe

If its giving you issues download FoxFi from the market or Wireless tether from google. Did you just go to the Apps section and download wifi tethering and flash it. Honestly its pretty straight forward, May I also suggest you just download a rom with it in it... Preferable not an ICS because if this is an issue for you, ICS can really mess your day up if not done right.
Go into Development and choose a rom from Blazer, Calkulin or any of those guys just please make sure its a Gingerbread rom(based on 2.3.x). They all have tether baked in already

Wifi tether requires Superuser right. Did you see the superuser permission being asked when you started wifi tether?
The easiest way is checking it from superuser app. Goto the app drawer and click on superuser. It will show you every applications that allowed to have superuser right.
If you do not see the superuser app, then there's something wrong with your rooting.

I got it from http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
and I have the latest version 3.1 BETA11
I wanted to try it without downloading a ROM just to see how it works, should it work as a stand alone?
I just installed Clockworkmod but no ROM yet, waiting to see if I can get it to work as a "stand alone"
Thanks for the help

I just tryed that and it still does not show up

it seems like something is missing even you did not see any issue during the install.
Do you know the busybox installed on your rooted phone?

you have to choose Samsung Galaxy Nexus CMDA on the Device Profile to work.
Hope it helps

Thanks for your help everyone, but thanks to QBKing77 all I had to do was get an older version of the wifi app and now it works perfectly
BIG THANKS TO QBKing77

Uninstall abd reinstall. Change its profile to Samsung Galaxy Nexus(lte/cdma) and try again. I believe the Darkstar or MIJJZ Blend rom threads have links and further instructions.

What version did you have to use?

try installing Wireless Tether for Root Users 2.0.6. I was able to use this on mine and my wife's epic touch's.

Honestly though Foxfi would of handled all your problems and it works great rooted or non rooted with our devices

4.1.1 S3 Simple Root

Hey everyone, I updated my T-Mobile S3 to 4.1.1 when it came out two weeks ago and my phone was rooted on ICS. I had already downloaded the stock firmware to use with Odin before the root66 firmware was uploaded here. I was too lazy to redownload it so I figured I would just root after I updated to JB. I realized the toolkit that I used to root in ICS does not work in JB and after looking through the forum it seemed like the only way would be to push the root66 firmware in Odin. The thread that shows how to use the roo66 says that its used if you don't want to void your warranty and if it does not matter there are easier ways to do it. So, is there a faster way to root the T-Mobile stock JB or would I have to use root66 with odin? Also, when I pushed the stock JB using odin I did not lose any data on the phone, I know it's probably the same with the root66 but I just wanted to double check with you guys if I would lose any data after pushing the root66 firmware using odin. All help will be appreciated. Thanks a lot.

No you shouldn't lose any data, but it can happen. Always backup first!
Root66 imo is the easiest and safest way. You can check out cf-root in original development too. Never used that one though.

Thanks Doc. Also, the only real reason I wanted my root back was to use the Wifi Tether app. It worked well on ICS however I heard people were having problems with it on JB. Do you or anyone else know if it works or not?

It has been confirmed working, but Tmo has also been blocking tethering on more devices.

download an app called easy tether. easy as it gets right there man, the app will walk you through the setup... when you get to the part when you need to find out what version of windows you are on (if on windows), open your start menu and where it says "search programs and files" type: dxdiag
your system info will pop up. on your way
as far as the rooting method, honestly, i think CF root is the easiest way. it's just booting into download mode and navigating to the .tar.md5 file... he wasn't joking when he said it literally takes 30 seconds.
and that easy tether app, does not require root access. so go ahead and download it naaaoooo
good luck bud

[Q] Sprint rooted 4.0.4 to 4.1.1

I'm sure this has been asked a lot. And I'm sure this is a big noob question. Please help me out.
I have a stock ROM Sprint S3 4.0.4 with only root. For a while, I have been getting the OTA "Install Update" message to upgrade to 4.1.1. (Been selecting "update later" for a long time). And finally getting bored with it popping up. Will this update remove root? Will I be able to root after the update? Do I need to reset my flash counter first?
Thanks a bunch.

You can safely take the update and still root your phone afterward
However, look around to see if theres just a rooted upgrade that you can flash that will update everything (including radios and all that)

I would suggest just taking the updateand rerooting then, it might be harder to track down all the necessary files
Make a nandroid first though so that in case you lose data while rooting you can advanced restore all of it

[Q] New to Rooting, S4 M919 4.3 MK2 Tmobile Knox

Whoa, this has got to be one of the most unorganized forums on the internet. LoL, sorry, its just soooo hard to find clear, up to date info, that I had to make a thread here.
I basically decided its time to update my phone and I want to root it, mainly to get battery savings and stop google from running all those apps in the background (who knows what info they are gathering).
Anyways, like the title states,
I'm on Tmobile, with a M919 on 4.3 with MK2, I would like to go to kitkat and root and NOT TRIP KNOX, if possible.
I'd also be interested in custom roms, if possible, like CyanogenMod... But of course, I'd like to keep my warranty, as I've already had to use it once, and I still have 2 whole months left and wifi is acting up (I get a lot of unstable wifi messages recently, didn't check my router yet but my laptop is working fine....)
Your help is appreciated.
Thx

ohh, my wife's phone is on 4.2.2, she is due for an update too, she wants the emoticons so that's one "major" reason to update...
Perhaps I can switch phones with her, and update that one to a rooted 4.4.2 without tripping knox, if possible?? Please point me in the right direction... I also like many of the features that dbombmod rom has, like call recording and more..

Yours is gonna trip Knox.
Trade her for yours. And update your modem to nb4 this way:

Sent from my SGH-M919 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

cool thanks, I will read up on safe root, but it looks like it may work. So once I'm rooted, I can install any rom right, even the 4.4.2 with knox removed and it would be fine right? And also the NB4 modem as well, and any kernel too?
My wife is hesistant to switch with me now because of the wifi unstable issue I have. I think I may have fixed it by clearing the Wifi Direct and Wifi Direct apps cache and data. Hopefully it is only a software problem, and not a hardware problem.
oyyy, after further reading, this does root the phone, but doesn't unlock the bootloader, and without an unlocked bootloader you cannot install custom roms, but I still didn't read if I can install another modem or another kernel???

what about towelroot? Does that unlock the bootloader?

tried towelroot on 4.3...
didn't work
updated to 4.4.2,
still doesn't work
ughhh
ohhh well, I guess I will switch phones with wife...

Lol. You can still download custom ROMs with a locked bootloader. If you do flash the NB4 modem you will definately trip KNOX. If you flash a non stock kernel you will trip KNOX and if you flash a custom recovery you will trip KNOX.

I finished setting up my old phone for my wife. I "Turned off" many of the apps that are installed that we never use, so her battery should do ok on 4.4.2
I just did towelroot on her phone, and it has instant root access, no reboot required or anything. Root Checker says I have root already. yay. Now I guess I need to update with modded firmware. Is there any particular order I have to install stuff?
Can I start with the rom, then modem, then kernel or is there a particular order I need to install stuff. And what should I use, odin or what?

You can flashbin any order. Some ROMs come with a kernel that they recommend but you can flash a different one if you prefer. If you DL Titanium Backup from the play store you can freeze any unwanted apps completely instead of just turning them off.

I just did a wipe on the 4.2.2 with clockworkmod setup and tried to install the fenny stock 4.4.2 rom and it came up with an error, something about expects 5 args got 4
should I use odin or something?

turn off Google now as well if she doesn't use it, saves a ton of battery! and you just flash the ROM and then the modem, kernel is in the rom.. read the guides on how to flash the NB4 modem on older bootloader, and read OP of the ROM you are flashing, there should be flashing instructions for you too, good luck!

Thanks, I searched and found out that TWRP is the way to go. I used flashify to install it and I was able to flash the new rom. Works good. I also got call recording to work, but not with wifi calls, is that something that never worked or its just a bug in my phone? I'm thinking of trying other roms to see if they got call recording with wifi calls, but that would take a lot of time.
I also did install the NB4 modem flash (twice like the instructions said) and its good, got 2 extra bars (but I doubt my signal got any better, they just want you to see more bars)

You can root it using the T-Mobile S6 chainfire auto-root tar that you flash in ODIN, but I wouldn't recommend it right now, there's pretty bad battery drain after rooting because it's not the right recovery for our device.

I don't mind a battery drain. Its that I have a note 2 and am gonna upgrade to a new phone because I am selling my phone. I use my phone for my internet for computer and watching TV at home so if I don't get it rooted or custom ROM with WiFi thether or mobile hotspot I am gonna be internetless and forget that. I am sure someone will make a custom ROM I just need to find out where to get tar files for root and tar files to unroot aoni can get them and root phone and when they figure out phone better and ROMs etc I will switch it. Can you provide me with info links etc please? Thank you soo much for your reply

That may be true but I find it curious that there is only one post in the Development section and no custom ROMS. Frankly I can wait until Chainfire or whomever makes a good root and unlock. Call me cautious.

Fair enough, i waited to hear some feedback before trying. But everything works i promise :good: can at least remove everything not wanted, in the mean time while dev is making its way.
