I am able to get the native hotspot working on rooted JUUS06252012 and bypass the "dial 611" message. I'm posting this right now via wifi tethering, on a prepaid plan with a data package.
Before trying to get the native hotspot to work, I did try a few apps first. WiFi Tether for Root works in WPA mode (configured as Epic 4G Touch), but it broke wifi completely after tethering and wifi stayed broken even after a hard reboot. Logcat said a wifi driver file was locked and could not be loaded. I had to factory reset to get wifi working again. FoxFi seemed to work at first, but force closed whenever a client connected.
The mod: I found two values in settings.db to be modified. As we all know, there are many ways to update a sqlite database, but here is one easy way, keeping in mind that the Pantech Burst factory rom lacks many things like BusyBox or the commandline sqlite3. Yes, you need to be rooted:
1. Install Andsen's aShell and aSQLiteManager (not SQLiteManager).
2. Run aShell, check root, tap File Explorer, go to /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases, open settings.db, when prompted to open a copy, say yes and open with aSQLiteManager, tap table secure, tap data and tap "edit" for each of the below
softap_free_supported=1 (old value 0)
softap_entitlement_interval=0 (old value1440)
Then tap back twice. When prompted to commit changes, say yes and exit aShell.
3. Reboot and you can now use the native hotspot. Install a toggle widget for convenience.
*EDIT: with this mod, turning on hotspot from the 2nd level "Portable Wi-Fi hotspot settings" page works reliably, whereas turning it on from the 1st level "Tethering & portable hotspot" page would show the "dial 611" message. Many hotspot widgets work reliably as well, such as HotSpot Toggle, Hotspot Widget or many others.

Did that and my phone is now stuck on boot screen. Removing battery didn't help either
_lost can you check to see if your guide can be updated for the new ICS release? or atleast put a warning up to let people know not to try if they are running ICS on their Pantech Burst?
After a lot of trial and error I have this working on ICS. I tried the free apps first and at first I couldnt even get the change to take. When I did by copying the file editing it then replaceing it the system would just hang on boot. I did get it to work though after having to wipe my device a few times. Now this may still work with the free programs im not realy sure as I figured id give the paid ones a try and got it working. I used the program root explorer. I copied the settings.db and pasted the copy in the same folder. Then I edited the copy in SQLite editor although it still couldnt edit the original.. Then in root explorer I renamed the old file by adding an extension to the end and renamed the new file to replace the old one. Then in root explorer i double checked that the permissions were the same as the old file and also..... (I THINK THIS WAS THE IMPORTANT THING BY THE WAY) I checked the ownership settings in root explorer it was already set to "system" just like the old file. I think the other programs may have been changing the owner of the new file causing issues. Anyway after rebooting it started right up and I can turn on wifi hotspot from either menu. On gingerbread it only worked from the one menu. I hope this works for you guys!!!!!!
by the way i used the original two edits from the first post

Hey thanks! This was the setting that did the trick for me on my Pantech Crossover (P8000). I had recently done the vendor upgrade to Gingerbread and lost root, but more importantly, SVTP's Wifi Hotspot & USB Tether Pro stopped working for me.
I rooted using pawaa's excellent guide and thought that would do the trip, but no such luck. Found this thread, bought SQLite Editor and made the aforementioned changes and all was well.
Guess I don't need SVTP anymore, but the widget works well, and I don't mind having paid for it for the month or so that it worked under Froyo. (Also, it was paid for out of my Nexus 7 $25 credit.) Anyways, just wanted to mention this in case anybody else was trying to get tethering working again on the Crossover after upgrading to 2.3.6.
I am having rooted JUUS03122012.
My Root/data folder is empty

I tried all of the methods above in ICS and none of them work. Not only do they not work, but if you try to edit the com.android.provider.settings AT&T will block your incoming calls, disable all notifications for messages, and break the home button. I was not able to find away to fix this without reflashing the ROM. I tried repairing the permissions but it did not help. I could not simply change the settings back since it seems AT&T's program did that for me and nonetheless deactivated me.
I can't get this to work either. My phone was purchased as an unlocked device, I didn't realize some things are still locked. :'(
I tried multiple times. I am running the stock (rooted) Android version 4.04 Baseband version JUUS09032012. Everything was setup fresh, all I did was root the device, get my Google account logged in and install the Superuser app, aShell and aSQLiteManager. I didn't stop, disable or uninstall any apps. Then followed the instructions here carefully.
I also tried the "Secret Codes Revealer" method with no luck. But I did not get any popups requesting root access when trying that method, so I can't imagine it doing anything.
I really love the phone - it is everything I want other than the tethering restriction. Hopefully this will be figured out before I am tempted by the new Nexus phone to be announced soon.
I used root browser to make a copy of the database file, edited it with asqlite, then went back to root browser and renamed the copy to the actual database. Then I booted into cwm and selected fix permissions and it works fine. That was the only way I could get it to work.

i face the same problem but i decided to try it one more time
here is what I done
i use a sqllite editor premium
do a backup of the files
i use the root explorer and copy the settings.db and paste in the same folder
after that i used sqlite editor and then settings.storage
after that i change the following values
softap_free_supported=1 (old value 0)
softap_entitlement_interval=0 (old value1440)
entitlement_pdp _checked changed from 0 to 1
than sve it and replace the settings.db by deliting or renaming the original one
than change the settings -copy.db to the settings.db
and delete all the other files that exist in that folder except settings.db (delete .db-shm and .db-wal also)
or
replace all the files in the data/data/com.providers.settings/databases from the attachment
Just download the attachment from Post# 17 and use Root Explorer to overwrite/replace all the files in the data/data/com.providers.settings/databases from the attachment.
It works like Charm.
Thanks irbaaz
Hmm... I didn't touch "entitlement_pdp _checked" but it all seems to work anyway.

i use barnacle to connect with ipad.root necessary.
i have a US streak and im having issues getting it to tether to my HTC Aria (using wireless tether). Ive tried the original rom, the O2 1.6 and 2.1 rom. But still no luck, my laptop, and 2 friends ipods will connect through the aria, but the streak doesnt even see it.. So not sure whats going on!
I have a Sprint EVO 4G that can serve as a hot spot but haven't tried it with my Streak yet. But I plan to. I bought the Streak without activating the AT&T part. Don't need two cell phones.
Thanks all.. I know the Archos 5 (which I believe also runs 1.6) advertises the cell phone tethering capability. Anyone know what software it uses? I don't know much about that specific sofwtare, but will start researching...
Yeah Barnacle works.

the archos 5 will not tether if u are using adhoc. found out the hard way... (long time ago before the streak came out i thought i could use that and tether with my iphone and it didint work.. apparantally it doensnt support adhoc wifi. but bluetooth tethering worked fine on the archos 5
Maybe someone can get this to work?
Tried to connect to to my WM Omnia via WMWiFiRouter- No Dice.
tried using wpa_supplicant file attched below- i can see and connect to ad hoc network(s), but can not establish IP --> copied to /system/bin
the apk and files below look more promising but perhaps need editing by someone who actually knows what they are doing. the app installs and runs but there is a location mismatch.
then ran across this info here: http://www.slatedroid.com/pandigital-novel-android-tablet-discussion/4505-i-have-infrastructure-adhoc-working-same-time-do-you-want-look-here.html
"Okay, I'm not taking 100% credit for this because all I did was modify the work that this user did:
'Originally Posted by YasinSiddiqui
NOTE: I'm using Rogerbraun Custom ROM 5.1 on Rockchip APAD, but I don't see any reason why this shouldn't work on the PDN too.
Hi Guys,
Finally figured this out.
Since the wpa_supplicant.conf file is read-only, an Android app can't modify the file. Hence, we were having to go back to connecting the APAD to the PC and use DroidExplorer to overwrite the wpa_supplicant file everytime we wanted to enable Adhoc Wifi.
I realized that when you upload a file to the APAD using DroidExplorer, it gets write permissions
And once you have the file with write permissions, an app CAN modify the file.
So, I've created a small app for easy switching between Normal and Ad-hoc wifi modes.
Here are the steps:
1. Step removed because the files were replaced (see below!)
2. Use DroidEXplorer to copy the 3 files: wpa_supplicant.conf, wpa_supplicant.conf.adhoc and wpa_supplicant.conf.normal to /data/misc/wifi folder
3. Install AdhocAble.apk using any File Manager or even DroidExplorer
Now, start up adhoc wifi tethering on your phone (Barnacle Wifi Legacy on Android, JoikuSpot on Symbian, WMWifirouter on Windows Mobile, MyWi on IPhone etc.) and set the adhoc SSID to: adhocable with NO password.
Remember that you have to Turn wifi off and on everytime you switch modes.
For experts: How the app buttons work:
1. Switch to Ad-hoc Wifi Mode: Overwrite wpa_supplicant.conf with wpa_supplicant.conf.adhoc
So if you want to change the adhoc SSID or give it a password, edit the wpa_supplicant.conf.adhoc before copying it via Droidexplorer
2. Switch to Normal Wifi Mode: Overwrite wpa_supplicant.conf with wpa_supplicant.conf.normal
3. Backup Normal Settings: Overwrite wpa_supplicant.conf.normal with wpa_supplicant.conf
This allows you to avoid having to type the normal wifi passwords every time. But, remember not to use this button when you are in ad-hoc mode, otherwise you'll lose all your saved wifi passwords.
4. Do let us know: opens up an email compose window so that you can tell me whether you like the app or not. Do write your name, country and details of which devices and ROMs you have.
My modifications to these instructions are as follows:
Instead of the supplicant files supplied by the user above use mine
Also feel free to open "wpa_supplicant.conf.adhoc" and change the SSID to whatever you want, i.e. I called mine "AndroidTether"
Also I didn't bother with any security because I'm just using the access control feature on my tethering program, I'm not sure if they all have this feature but basically, my phone tells me when someone is trying to connect and asks if I want to allow the connection before the device is assigned an IP.
1. download: "wpa_supplicant_files_WORKING.zip and unzip
1.1 Open "wpa_supplicant.conf.adhoc" and edit SSID to whatever you want
2. place "wpa_supplicant.conf" , wpa_supplicant.conf.adhoc & wpa_supplicant.conf.normal into the sdk's "tool" folder (where adb.exe is)
3. download "AdhocAble_apk.zip" and unzip
4. Place "AdhocAble.apk" into the sdk's "tool" folder (where adb.exe is)
5. Open the command prompt and get to the folder where your adb.exe iscd c:/where_your_sdk_is/tools
6. enter: " adb push wpa_supplicant.conf /data/misc/wifi "
7. enter: " adb push wpa_supplicant.conf.adhoc /data/misc/wifi "
8. enter: enter: " adb push wpa_supplicant.conf.normal /data/misc/wifi "
9. check to see the files are there by entering " adb shell ls /data/misc/wifi "
10. install the apk, you can use my batch file to do this if you'd like here
11. unzip the file manager batch script and place it in the sdk's "tools" folder (where adb.exe is)
12. open the batch file (it should open a new cmd window)
13. select 2
14. select 1 (install an app)
15. it'll ask for the name of the apk. Enter " AdhocAble.apk " exactly, its case sensitive.
16. reboot the PDN
17. Start your cell phone tether and set the SSID to whatever you set in the .conf.adhoc file at the begining
18. Open up the AdhocAble app and select "backup your normal settings", this should save all of the remembered infrastructure network's SSIDs and passphrases
18.1 select Enable Adhoc, it will prompt you to make sure to turn your wifi connection off and back on.
19. Do so.
20. You should see your cell phone's SSID in the connection list (remember the SSID is hardcoded into the .conf.adhoc file so you have to set it to the same thing in the tether program or vice-versa.
21. If you don't see the tether connection enter it manually
To get back to infrastructure - simply open the app and select enable normal mode and turn the wifi off then back on again - after a short bit you should see the networks as usual. It might take a bit longer to obtain an IP, but it should work...if not reboot the PDN and try it again.
Another success - Flytouch2 / Eclair
What an adventure... I tried lots of different approaches to getting my 10" Flytouch2 running Eclair to my Moto Cliq the instructions in this thread formed a good basis for success. I had to make a few changes which I will describe.
First, I am using a rooted Moto Cliq (1.5 I think) running Barnacle to serve up Ad Hoc Wi-Fi. It worked great with my PC and iPad but I really wanted my Flytouch2 to have network access through the Cliq.
So far I have not yet been able to get the Flytouch2 to connect to my PC using ADB; this is a problem for another day. As such I was side loading until I realized that I could place APK's in Dropbox (great free app) and net-load?? them. I also had to get creative with Root Explorer and other file managers / editors to make the required changes
To accomplish this I did the following on my Flytouch2 (less the stuff that didn't work including a couple of bricking episodes)
- Rooted (permanent) painlessly using Z4Root
- Installed Root Explorer (essential for copying and renaming R/O system files)
- Installed TED to edit files
- Install ASTRO File Manager which is helpful for non root file manipulation activities
- Used Root Explorer to mark the /data/misc/wifi directory as R/W so files could be added/modified (the default is RO)
- Installed AdhocAble.apk which is nice but it turns out not really needed in my case
- Disabled Wi-Fi until done
- Installed the wpa_supplicant.conf.adhoc (after editing - attached and below)
- Renamed old wpa_supplicant.conf file as wpa_supplicant.conf.normal)
- Replaced wpa_supplicant.conf using wpa_supplicant.conf.adhoc (basically leaving backups of each in the directory)
After doing this and enabling Wi-Fi I was able to see and connect to my Cliq running Barnacle. I am also able to connect to my standard Access Point as well without any configuration change. The only issue is that I am not running any security but I think this is not a difficult update to the .conf file. I may add a second network SSID entry with a PSK and use "Wireless Tether" on my Cliq to test. For now I am just happy to connect and Barnacle allows me to screen and block all connection requests. The primary deviation from the great instructions earlier in this thread that got me up and running was the content of the wpa_supplicant.conf file. I used part of my original file and part of the file .adhoc file from earlier in this thread.
ctrl_interface=DIR=/data/system/wpa_supplicant GROUP=system
update_config=1
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=2
network={
ssid="JJJ"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=NONE
mode=1
priority=1
}
Obviously my SSID is set to JJJ (I like J's). I got my inspiration from a file I found buried in my Android file system (attached as ...notes.txt). It is not very interesting reading but it provides lots of clues and it explains the meanings of all the parameters.
So, Ad Hoc connection is possible possible on A Flytouch2 under Eclair.
Now, my rant... it is unconscionable that this is not supported natively in Android. I would speculate that this was a conscious decision by Google resulting from pressure from the big carriers. What I don't understand is how this capability is available in the iPad!? Apple would certainly bow to external pressure (witness the iPhone) from carrier relationships. They also come with $40/mo built in service... so go figure. Now I am delighted to use both my Android Tablet and my iPad with Ad Hoc WiFi served up from my Cliq on T-Mobile!
I hope my additional notes help someone else.
Im gonna have to look at this tomorrow and see if i can finally connect to my omnia 2 running wmwifirouter

as a client? or you can create a network using your 3g->WiFi hotspot
I figured I would take a crack at this:
If you wish to get the native WiFi Hotspot / Tethering ability for your HTC Jetstream here is how to do it:
1.) Unlock your bootloader and root your device via guides in this forum.
2.) Download your favorite file manager, I personally used Root Explorer.
3.) Open your file manager, browse to /system
4.) Mount /system with Read/Write access
5.) You will see a file named build.prop
6.) Open this file for editing (In Root Explorer you hold down on the file and hit "Open in Text Editor", look for similar option if using different file manager)
7.) Once in the build.prop file about 25 lines down or so you will see the following:
ro.wifi.hotspotUI=0
ro.tether.denied=true
8.) Change the values to the following:
ro.wifi.hotspotUI=1
ro.tether.denied=false
9.) Save your changes. (In Root Explorer, hit menu drop down on top right,and choose "Save & Exit")
10.) Reboot your tablet, you will now have all native tethering options in the Wireless & Networks Menu
11.) Verify you are on a data plan of some sort with your wireless carrier.
I take no responsibility for your tethering actions or usage charges should you not be aware of your data plan or should your carrier decide to charge you additional fees if they can somehow figure out you are tethering, but they most likely will not as most tablets are on broadband plans anyways.
I have tested and confirmed this working on an AT&T Jetstream tablet.
working perfectly
thanks

Thanks Onasre, as that Build Prop Editor app did the trick, as I was getting Error while trying to save using Root Explorer
ro.wifi.hotspotUI=0
ro.tether.denied=true
these values are not in the list !!!
do i add them ???
Tethering Enable
Starting in Android 4.3, some code is added to AOSP that tagged your internet traffic when you were running a mobile hotspot , the tool will pass by the carrier limitation.

RECENT NEWS: Fixed wifi tether on newest ICS rom, the problem was the exact same firmware issue from the original GB roms. HTC had two AP firmwares just as with the original GB roms. See notes below about the firmware for GB for more information, attached is a zip file that will replace the non-tether compatible firmware with the firmware that does work for tether. I found it interesting that HTC's firmwares from prior ICS versions worked fine without modifications, but the latest one required this hack just like the original GB HTC roms.

1. The file wifi_tether_v3_2-pre1.apk downloaded as wifi_tether_v3_2-pre1.zip?!?
This is actually a common issue when downloading any APK via a web browser and is a result of your web browser recognizing the file format for a ZIP file and the fix is very easy. Rename wifi_tether_v3_2-pre1.zip to wifi_tether_v3_2-pre1.apk and it will install.
2. When tethering to my phone over my 4G connection, the internet gets very laggy and unresponsive...but on 3G it works fine?!?
This is a common problem among those with 4G phones in 4G areas using tethering apps. Sometimes those devices are unable to operate both the 4G radio and the WIFI radio at the same time...either due to the amount of heat generated...power consumed...or possibly hardware required for both to operate that can not be shared. Unfortunately there is no fix to make it work over 4G without an issue if you are having problems. You maybe one of the lucky ones who can use it in which case this won't apply to you. If you have issues try tethering with a 3G connection, usually this will resolve the problems.
To my knowledge this is an issue that affects all tethering apps including Verizon's Hotspot. Reports on success or failures in this forum are appreciated.
3. Your post has too many words...Lots of words make things useless, can you reduce it to an index card size or just delete it all?
I'm glad you asked. You see as a person inclined to work with things on a technical level I often find myself browsing hundreds of thousands of pages of what the layman would consider "jiberish". While the "jiberish" is of no use to a layman, it is very important to other persons of the technical inclination such as computer programmers, software developers, and the like. We share details of our changes to the "jiberish" with each other openly to help further future discoveries and fixes in the realm of computer science. If I were to say remove half of the development blog attached at the bottom of this post then I would have done the equivalent of starting the next episode of your favorite tv show (ex: Jersey Shore) halfway through an episode you never saw. While missing half an episode of Jersey Shore might not seem very important, it might have been an episode that had Snookie conceiving a child with The Situation before the second half where they all go out drinking and eventually get in a fight over the way The Situation starts grinding on some other chick. Which too any Jersey Shore fan would have been monumental. The development blog is just as monumental to us technical types. I hope that my work in getting wifi tether working on GB Rezound can help others get wifi tether working on their on devices that may be having a similar problem. So in short, no I will not shorten the post.

Most problems with Wifi Tether not working are related to not replacing the firmware correctly or not uninstalling the old apk before installing the new one. Remember if your Wifi Tether is in system you will have to use a special app like Titianium Backup or Root Explorer to remove it before attempting to replace it with my patched version.
The EasyFix zip file will attempt to remove any original Wireless Tether (having it's original APK name ie: com.googlecode.android.wifi.tether-?.apk) installed if it exist, this will also fix any force close issues you are having from a incomplete or improper install of Wireless Tether as noted earlier in this thread that some have experienced. The script for EasyFix will perform a more complete fix. The update.zip contains the updated firmware and apk. It will copy the apk to your /data/app folder and the firmware to /system/etc/firmware. Enjoy!

2. UNINSTALL ALL COPIES OF ANDROID WIFI TETHER
3. Reboot to recovery and flash GBOnly-WifiTetherComplete32P1.zip
4. Reboot back to Android.
5. Open Wifi Tether (That you just installed, It will know you using a Rezound and use NetD by default)
6. Enable encryption if desired (it works)
7. Check MSS Clamping and Routing fix (I used both in my work)
8. Check access control (if you want it)
9. Turn on Wifi Tether
10. PARTY!!!
EASYFIX for ICS - How to fix wireless tether stutter on the Rezound ICS! In 9 EASY Steps!
1. You need to download wifi_tether_v3_2-pre1.apk to your SD card (only the apk - attached) located at the bottom of this post, an ICS ROM, and root.
2. UNINSTALL ALL COPIES OF ANDROID WIFI TETHER
3. Install wifi_tether_v3_2-pre1.apk using your favorite file manager.
4. Open Wifi Tether (That you just installed, It will know you using a Rezound and use NetD by default)

Development Blog Begins Here
I noticed that this device has 4 firmware images for the wifi radio in GB and 6 in ICS. I think part of our problem is restrictions placed in the firmware by HTC for VZW. In short you can find the firmware in /etc/firmware/fw_bcm*.bin and if you replace fw_bcm4330_apsta.bin with fw_bcm4330b2_apsta.bin (backup your firmware folder first!) you can now open an access point with wpa2 encryption. I however have not been able to get a complete connection, and it always gives up waiting on dhcp address and iptables shows no packets routed or dropped. I'll look into it further after the weekend is over right now all I have is my phone and development further than this might not be possible without my PC. I think the VZW hotspot is loading firmware b2 of the access point firmware (apsta) for it's work while standard android use loads the first firmware.
#2: ifconfig shows I have a valid interface and traffic on it but forwarding does not appear to be happening. (Packet count increases with attempts to visit website, I setup static Ip on the client to avoid DHCP failure during my tests.) Looks like I'm missing a route as well.
#3: and the interface has not been assigned an IPv4 address so that explains the lack of a route.
#4: I can get the Rezound to communicate to a (both ways if the Rezound initiates the connection/ping) tethered device but I can not get the tethered device to communicate with the Rezound (as if the data just goes into a black hole). But ARP routeing tables show correct information on both sides of the connection. I appear to have a missing route somewhere and it's getting late.
TO REPRODUCE:
You need Wifi Tether 3.1-beta 11, CleanROM 1.7+, access to terminal/adb, and root.
TURN OFF WIFI / TETHER APPS IF ON
Create a backup of /etc/firmware/fw_bcm*.bin
Replace fw_bcm4330_apsta.bin with fw_bcm4330b2_apsta.bin
Open Wifi Tether
Set device as Google NexusOne
Set method as NetD (master)
Enable encryption if desired (it works)
Change Lan (Select 192.168.2.0/24)
I have not determined if MSS Clamping or Routing fix are needed but my tests include routing fix.
Turn on Wifi Tether
in terminal do the following without qoutes:
"su"
"/system/xbin/ifconfig eth0 inet 192.168.2.254 netmask 255.255.255.0 mtu 1500"
On the device you want to connect to the hotspot with do the following
Set static ip information (DHCP will not work at this time)
IP: 192.168.2.103
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.2.254
DNS1: 192.168.2.254
DNS2: 192.168.2.254
Connect device to hotspot.
Device (not the Rezound) will show connected but have no network access at this time.
On the Rezound in the terminal you can verify the device is connected with ping
"ping 192.168.2.103"
You will see the ping replies! (Press volume down + "C" to stop once confirmed if using terminal)
WOOT! We're half way there! I think if Wifi Tether setup the interface with the IPV4 address properly instead of us having to go back and set it after the fact that this may work without any further trouble.
Once we have Wifi Tether resolved, I will have my dream device! ...at least for the next 6 months \\
#5: I HAVE IT! I will post a working fix/update within a few hours! It works!
#6: FINAL SOLUTION!
The problem was two fold, first the phone has two sets of firmwares and by default loads a non-accesspoint capable version when trying to setup an accesspoint. I've already explained that part in my first post. The second problem, the accesspoint interface firmware operates on eth0, which is NOT what wireless tether expects...so I either had to intercept tether's scripts and fix the interface name OR modify tether to use the proper interface name (which I did both, but the fix I am posting is a modified tether without scripts...it is simpler, and EASY FOR THE WIRELESS TETHER TEAM TO FIX).
ADVANCED FIX - How to enable wireless tether on the Rezound! In 12 EASY Steps!
Please scroll down to EASY FIX 2 for instructions on using con247's zip in recovery instead of moving files around in root explorer yourself.
Download the attached MODIFIED WIFI TETHER APK, it has the interface names for the networking accesspoint corrected to eth0 and not wl0.1 (which was the default for google nexus).
1. You need Wifi Tether 3.1-beta 11b2 (my modified version), CleanROM 1.7+, access to terminal/adb, and root.
2. TURN OFF WIFI / TETHER APPS IF ON
3. Create a backup of /etc/firmware/fw_bcm*.bin
4. Replace (existing) fw_bcm4330_apsta.bin with fw_bcm4330b2_apsta.bin in /etc/firmware
5. Install modified Wifi Tether
6. Open Wifi Tether
7. Set device as Google NexusOne
8. Set method as NetD (master)
9. Enable encryption if desired (it works)
10. Check MSS Clamping and Routing fix (I used both in my work)
11. Turn on Wifi Tether
12. PARTY!!!
For those with trust issues download apktool and decompile wifi tether yourself, open smali/com/googlecode/android/wifi/tether/system/Configuration.smali
using a NON DESTRUCTIVE TEXT EDITOR! I.E. one that will not change anything you do not specifically change! I used JEdit on Ubuntu, I read Notepad++ on windows will work good too.
Under ".method private setupSoftapGoogle()V"
Change line 2707:
.line 327
const-string v0, "wl0.0"
To:
.line 327
const-string v0, "eth0"
Save and rebuild & sign apk.
Have a great day!
This hack is all of my own work, please give me credit if you use this or include it in your rom/mod!
Donations are always welcome as I do appreciate a good beer ;-D
Update:
Questions about will it work on my ROM or Kernel, you will just have to try it. Remember to backup your firmware folder to revert incase you make a mistake. This method should work on any GB rom and should work on ICS as well. So long as the kernel/rom dev has not radically modified their ROM/Kernel in the wifi/tether department. Enjoy!
Also attached some nifty images with my chicken scratch on them to help point out the original file differences (in size) as well as what we are replacing in case there was any confusion.
EASYFIX 1/2 & INSTRUCTIONS REMOVED - PLEASE SEE EASYFIX
Enjoy, Thanks goto con247 who packaged up a recovery zip to move the firmware!
This fix has been updated and is now using Beta12 of Wifi Tether.
The patch is slightly different instead of patching Google's Nexus driver I just copied it to it's own routine patched the device name as indicated in the above patch instructions, renamed it to HTC Rezound GB and added it to the device menu. No more looking like a hack here. The Wifi Tether team could easily add this patch to their base code (I did this using a text editor on the smali code), but it would only benefit HTC Rezound GB users with rooted devices. Oh well...Enjoy Everyone!
Update 04/11/12: Fixed downloads...not sure what was wrong. Re-uploaded the files and all is well. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Update 04/12/12: Really fixed downloads...I do not know what has happened. I tested them when they first went up and they worked fine. Could be a browser issue maybe? I was using Chrome, this time FireFox. Never had any issues uploading before. I downloaded both files again completely to be sure this time, everything looks good. Again I apologize for the inconvenience.
Update 04/23/12: Updated patch to latest beta14.
Update 04/28/12: Corrected firmware/module file locations for Rezound. Removed SoftAP (does not work on Rezound GB profile anyway). Tested Wext on Rezound profile (works for those wanting Adhoc, note: encryption not supported on Adhoc). Added patch notice to App title bar so you know what is installed (default vs patched). Also gave myself credit for the patch in the about box and added a link to this thread for future reference and added a donation button in the about box for those who feel generous (Don't forget about the Wifi Tether team, without which non of this would be possible!). Enjoy! (Fixed Download: I forgot to sign the APK, sorry everyone!)
Update 05/02/12: Moved quickstart guide to top per con247's suggestion. Also note this fix is NOT needed for any ICS variants, only GB.
Update 05/18/12: Per feedback from Kidney Poker I have patched the Wifi Tether Application to include a Rezound ICS profile, in that profile I added correct ICS firmware folder/filenames (The Rezound's firmware/modules are in different locations than Google ICS), the result of which I believe caused some stuttering in the connection was running applications requiring a consistent and low ping (I.E. Online Games). I appreciate any additional feedback anyone would like to add on this matter, let me know if this patch improves your tethering experience or not. Thanks! ICS does not need firmware files moved for AP mode to work so do not flash the zip, you only need the apk of the patched Wifi Tether application. DO NOT INSTALL WifiTetherFixCompleteR14B.zip on ICS!!!
Update 06/01/12: Added beta15 PUBLIC TEST 1 UNOFFICIAL Wifi Tether with my changes that I am submitting to the Wifi Tether team. Give it a try, fiddle with the options, tell me how it works! Post your feedback and Thanks!
Update 06/02/12: Beta15 PUBLIC TEST 2: Fixed bug where Automatic quota shutdown appeared twice in settings. Configure ed keep-alive shutdown timer option to be disabled when keep-alive is set to retry indefinitely.
Update 06/27/12: Android wifi-tether now has an official download with my changes includes and some new features added! Woot Woot!
Update 07/14/12: I am now an official developer and committer for the Android-Wifi-Tether project. Now that is awesome!
Update 08/21/13: Updated post to include fix for latest ICS release, the firmware issue from GB returned to this version of ICS. Simply replacing fw_bcm4330_apsta_b1.bin with fw_bcm4330_apsta_b2.bin located in /system/etc/firmware/ and this change will enable wifi tether using android-wifi-tether. Updated zips to include latest non-experimental version v3.3 beta 2 and attached for direct download. GB firmware zip is intended only for GB roms, and ICS Latest zip is intended only for the latest ICS version v4.03.605.2 710RD. You will need a custom kernel to tether, the stock kernel will not work as it lacks the proper NAT layers to do so.

I understood about a total of 6 words in the OP, but I do know that this will be awesome if you can get it working. Nice work
any update on this?
Unfortunately I've not been able to resolve the routing issues yet, communication starting from the client towards the tether point (rezound) arrives but does not seem to get past the interface device (packets are counted but data is getting dropped after reaching the rezound. I am still trying to resolve this.
I got it, will post a working update within a few hours!
#2: MOD COMPLETE! ENJOY!!!
Fantastic work!
will this not work on ineffabilis 1.3?
It should work on GB roms.
will this work If im rooted and have ziggy's oc kernal but still on stock debloated (by me) vzw gb rom?
I looked in the firmware folder and I couldn't find the bcm* file to backup and both of the files I'm supposed to replace each other with are already in there.

I believe you are supposed to rename the one with the b2 in it to remove the b2 and let it replace the one that is already there WITHOUT the b2. if that makes any sense.
Regards to other roms/kernels:
You will have to try it yourself, but this method should work on all Rezound GB Roms as long as the firmware folder is there and the dev has not modified anything related to tethering/wifi in a radical way.
That is absolutely right! Replace the existing file fw_bcm4330_apsta.bin with the fw_bcm4330b2_apsta.bin file.

This is one of the reasons I haven't went to ICS yet. I have everything I wanted (minus ICS) with this phone running Gingerbread now. Once ICS source is out, that may change.

so can't I just delete the fw bcm4330 instead of replace since the fw bcm4330b2 is already in the folder?
Confirmed working on Ineffabilis 1.3. Tethering to my Mac running Lion and I didn't have to change any settings in the Wifi Prefs. DHCP worked just fine.

Yes, delete fw bcm4330 (or backup to another location) and rename fw bcm4330b2 to fw bcm4330
This guide teaches you to reverse tether your Android phone via WiFi. That is, it allows you to use your Ethernet connection of PC on your Android phone. It is useful for those who do not have WiFi routers and data connection. So if you have unlimited data plan for your computer, why not share the connection with your phone?
I am not the developer of the files supplied
Requirements:-
1.Rooted Phone
2.Wifi enabled Laptop or PC
3.Root explorer or any other application which gives system access
4.File in the attachement
Procedure :-
Phone:
Download Wpa_supplicant.zip and extract "wpa_supplicant" from it, save it on your SD card.
Open Root Explorer, and grant it superuser access when asked for.
Navigate to system -> bin and long press on wpa_supplicant; Select copy, and paste the file into any folder on your SD card.
Now navigate to the file you downloaded, copy it in same way, and paste it back to system -> bin. Note, you might need to mount the system as R/W instead of R/O by pressing a button on the top just before pasting the file.
Reboot.
▬▬Ubuntu (Must work for other Linux Distros too)▬▬:
Open Network Connections
Goto Wireless tab, select add, and set the following:
SSID: <Any_name_you_like>
Mode: Ad hoc
Leave other things unchanged, and go to Ipv4 settings tab
Set method to Shared to other computers
Go to Wireless security tab and set Security to WEP 40/128 bit key and set key to a numeric password (or hexadecimal one).
Check the connect automatically box on top of the tabs and press Save.
Your Android phone must now detect this network, and you can establish the connection by using your security key.
▬▬Windows XP, Vista, 7▬▬
Download and Install Connectify from www . connectify.me/download-lite/
Start Connectify Hotspot by giving a name and password to your hotspot and selecting the Ethernet connection to share. Make sure the security type is WEP or Open.
Disable your firewall (Simply adding it to exceptions doesn't work for AVG at least)
Now your phone should be able to see the hotspot and establish the connection using the password set.
Known Issues :
1.Random disconnections (Very less frequency)
2.Disconnections due to screen lock / sleep on laptop
3.For me Security mode does not works

There is a much simpler way to reverse tether. Just search for the app in the play store. It's name is “reverse tether" it costs $4.99 but there's a trial version for testing purposes.

please read the thread before you post. That app works only on usb connection. and the op is discussing wireless tether. i don't think anybody would like to spend 5 dollars and then be physically tethered to the pc.
Also, this sites name is xda-developers, we are here to develop and find solutions. If you just wanted to buy 5 dollar apps, then why visit here?
so other people can get it to work? i wonder why doesn't it work for me, tried it again but still facing the same problem, i'm on arconium gb 8.2 and doom kernel v22 :/

u r attaching the binary file
i tried this several times with several file source ALWAYS FAIL(i didn't try yours)
maybe the the wpa_supplicant.conf file , that located in /etc/wifi/
or the other one located in /data/misc/wifi
r regenerating the binary file the wrong way so it overwritten
is it possible to attach above mention file so we can follow same
NOTE:THIS FILE CONTAIN UR WIRELESS NETWORK PASSWORDS U CAN REPLACE IT WITH *****

Wifi Not working in Root Box and SuperNexus 2..(Stuck on "Obtaining IP adress")
Hi,
I Have GSIII I9300. It's rooted and I have installled latest Siyah Kernel and running Latest Jellybean Touchwiz 4.1.2. All is well.
I decided to try another Rom as secondary rom. I installed the Rootbox Rom and gapps as per instructions. And it booted
all is working except that the Wifi gets stuck at "Obtaining IP address". It connects to my network but doesn't get IP address from DHCP.
I thought it was a rom specific issue, So I tried SuperNexus 2.0..Still the same issue! I also tried installing them as Primary rom.
Still it gets stuck at "obtaining IP address".
Anyone have any inputs on what could be the issue here??
Finally Figured it out...
All you have to do is, Install a Touchwiz rom. Setup your Wifi.
Then go to "System/Etc" and copy the 'wifi' folder onto your External SD CARD. take note of the permissions on it before hand.
And then boot into your second (Or problematic) rom, turn off Wifi, and delete the same folder from same location (OR BACK IT UP!) and paste in your prev. copied folder in it's place. and set the permssions accordingly. And then Start Wifi!
Sorry I can't write properly. I am typing this using Wifi with PA ON MY SGS3!
Hi I don't no what the problem is but I have the same issue with rootbox and most new builds of cm10.1 AOKP aosp I found the way to fix it was using a static IP address also it doesn't matter what router I use even trying to tether to my wife's gs3 she dose not have this problem on hers running the same roms
Yes. I also can run with static ip, but then it loses Internet connectivity for some reasons.. sometimes it will come back and sometimes not.
Yes. Only happens in CM and AOSP roms..
i use rootbox most of the time and the first rom it stoped working on was nightly 20130125 i looked in the changelog and found this
rootBox Project name: vendor_samsung
•codeworkx - smdk4412: cleanup
•codeworkx - smdk4412: update bt and wifi firmware
•codeworkx - smdk4412: add t0ltei
i think the wifi firmware upgrade may be the problem as all nightleys before worked and none since have, hope this helps you work out the problem
I am running the latest stable release. BTW, I found thst it neither works in any non touch wiz ROM. When I set static IP. It connects to the network for a while and then disconnects.... connects but internet doesn't work.. really frustrating.
mine is the exact same i never noticed about conection to internet as i have unlimted data and olny use the router for straming meadia around house i also think not many s3 have this problem like i said my wife has a s3 and on the same roms her conection is fine so dont think it will be fixed any time soon if at all and searching the foroms has not showed up anything
WiFi problems worth trying a different kernel.
jje
thanks tried siayh,yank555,stock cm and temaseks none have worked fore me
So.....No custom roms for us???....damn sucks.....that's the reason I bought S3 for just now.

I used ES Explorer on Standard TouchWiz Rom and used CM File manager that was present in PA Rom.
Sadly, Roms like SuperNexus and Rootbox don't come with ANY file manager by default.
Though you can of course use your data to download ES File explorer on other roms..
AND you need to be rooted to be able to access these folders.
In Es Explorer, Go into Settings/Root Settings and enable first three options.
The 'wifi' folder is located in "/sytem/etc/.."
(Press back when in SD CARD in ES)
also when i used the wifi file from a touchwiz rom although the wifi worked it stoped my wifi teather from working so i went back to the last rootbox rom that had wifi and wireless teather working extrated wifi folder pasted and now both are working. again many thanx for the fix

Well, this worked for me! (Finally)
I did this procedure.
1: I wiped my device, installed a touchwiz rom (Darky S3 v8.8).
2: Downloaded ES File Explorer
3: In ES FE, I asked for root access, R/W ability on system.
4: Copied the wifi map to my external sd card,
5: Went back to recovery, wiped my device again.
6: Installed new rom (SuperNexusRom 2.0 build 4)
7: Downloaded ES File Explorer
8: In ES FE, I asked for root access, R/W ability on system.
9: Copied my backup from external sd card back.
10: For rebooting, I activated the wifi. (Didnt work the first time)
11: Rebooted my device.
12: After booting, worked like a charm. (Now rebooted 20 times or so)
Hopefully this works for you guys to.
Notes:
- Having some glitches when turning on Bluetooth. Wifi connection is killed several times, but comes back up.
- Havent tried wifi tethering, dont use it here.
