Lol. I always make my ssid something like f*ck off or TSAnetwork or something like that. It usually keeps the freeloaders at bay.
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
Use access control and an awesome password, it works great :)

Unfortunately no way to stop freeloaders from trying.

Guys I'm on the new firmware and 1.

7.5 and can't get this to work. When I shut it down it reboots the phone . What am I doing wrong
[HTC Rezound] johnwaynegacy:
I got a pm from someone telling me to perform step 4 manually with something like root explorer. it worked.
[HTC Rezound] billhilt:
Well I tried again to no avail .This time I deleted the other file and my wifi is broke. Btw I didn't back up the file as specified in the post any ideas ?

Sent from my broken rezound
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
I want to point out you mentioned being on the new firmware (I assume new ICS radios?) but running GB. I have not tested this combination and can not vouch if it will even work. If you upgraded to new ICS firmware RUU, you will have to revert to GB firmware RUU to guarantee working functionality of GB. New radio firmwares are generally NOT backwards compatible between versions, and the wifi radio, GPS, and cellular radios are usually tied closely together, upgrading one out of sync can break the others.
[HTC Rezound] xxxdroidxxx:
im on the new ics firmware and reverted back to gb due to heating issue. wifi tether is working after flashing the zip and following the instruction.
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
Are you still on the ICS radio or GB's radio from an RUU revert?
[HTC Rezound] aostl:
I don't think you can ruu revert. I tried. I believe you keep ics radio and hboot
[HTC Rezound] xxxdroidxxx:
ics radio. i dont think you can revert back. i should be more specific. im on ics radio and hboot but running a gb rom.
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
I think you are right, without S-OFF, once you upgrade these there is no going back without S-OFF.

Does the ad-hoc wifi tether (default tether without my patch) work without problems? You will have to manually restore the firmware file from the ROM or reflaah the ROM. Let me know how it goes.
[HTC Rezound] billhilt:
I had to ref lash the rom and now the ad-hoc wifi tether is back so it was worth a try .

Sent from my working rezound
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
Glad it is working. Would you try the zip update one more time, use root explorer to backup the firmware files first. Let me know if it works or not again. I am wondering if it may have been an issue with your prior setup. If it still does not work then I would like to say try a different rom, say 1.7.0. But if anyone else can confirm having this same problem we may be able to narrow the issue to something less broad.
[HTC Rezound] ecetim:
I followed the instructions in EasyFix2 on my stock rooted phone and infrastructure mode works perfectly. Unfortunately the throughput is very low - I get 1-2Mbps via Speedtest on my laptop when tethered compared to 13Mbps+ on the Speedtest app. This is good enough for my needs until I go to ICS, but I do wish it had full speed :/

I wonder if ICS users have a speed throughput issue as well?
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
Can you confirm that you ran both test using the same server and if the speed test on the phone without tether enabled also matches a speed test on the phone with tether on? Unfortunately I am not in a 4G area so I can not confirm the speed issues. Found some interesting stuff myself...

Tether Off. Speedtest App on phone 740kbps down / 860kbps up.

Tether On. Speedtest App on phone 1853kbps down / 855kbps up.

Tether On. Speedtest website in computer browser 1.38Mbs down / .74Mbps up.

Same server for all tests.

Odd.
[HTC Rezound] ecetim:
Yes I can confirm it is the same server. I will retry a few times and update.

Wifi tether 3.1 beta-12.....

Have you looked at Wifi Tether 3.1 beta-12........

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list

Are you going to modify this version?
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
Already done...going to be posting it soon. Little something different about this one ;-)
[HTC Rezound] caveritt:
Anyone else tried this yet. I just found this after moving back from a ICS Rom and wanted to try it. In the instructions it says to download WifiTetherFixCompleteB12.zip but I can only find ...CompleteR12.zip and it reports that it is an invalid .zip and I cannot flash it.

Only Getting a 554 byte file on DL?

================

When Downloading I am Only Getting a 554 byte file when I DL the new APK and Zip ? Are the uploads bad? The two first files DL fine?
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
Not sure what was going on. I re-uploaded the files and everything looks the right size now. Sorry about that!
[HTC Rezound] manbat:
=======

The zip is coming down right now. The APK is still DL 554 bytes?
[HTC Rezound] manbat:
Extracted it from zip...

The APK still D/Ls bad.....I opened up the zip and got it that way. Since I had already done the other mods , I just installed beta 12 apk that I extracted from the zip. Pretty cool that Rezound can be selected now. Everything seems to run fine. Thanks!!
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
Not sure what the issue was, I re-uploaded the apk again since you report the zip working. I downloaded both again to test. Everything seems to be working. Maybe a browser issue on my side? XDA issue? (XDA did report correct file size in my post) I have no clue, it seems to be working right now is all I know. Perhaps someone else can shed some light on "uploads that only download about 500 bytes" for me?
[HTC Rezound] manbat:
D/L worked this time....thanks for your work on this!!
[HTC Rezound] xdadevnube:
Wow, just lost my entire post.

Anyhoo.

I am using CleanROM Tapped:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1586500

I am using stock firmware with Joel's firmware patch:

http://www.androidfilehost.com/main/...mppl-patch.zip

I did the advanced fix only to find that contents of the firmware folder are as follows:

BCM4330B1_002.001.003.0550.0568.hcd

fw_bcm4330_apsta_b1.bin

fw_bcm4330_apsta_b2.bin

fw_bcm4330_b1.bin

fw_bcm4330_b2.bin

fw_bcm4330_p2p_b1.bin

fw_bcm4330_p2p_b2.bin

leia_pfp_470.fw

leia_pm4_470.fw

vidc_1080p.fw

I doubled checked the contents of the firmware folder with the BAMF Senseless Preview 2. They appear identical.

This does not match the directions in the original post. Instead, I replaced fw_bcm4330_apsta_b1.bin with fw_bcm4330_apsta_b2.bin and renamed it to

fw_bcm4330b2_apsta.bin.

No luck there.

I pulled the fw_bcm4330_apsta.bin out of both Easyfixes and copied to firmware folder, trying both WiFi Tether versions in the OP with each fw_bcm4330_apsta.bin from the Easyfixes.

No luck there.

I tried both versions of WiFi Tether in the OP without any changes to the firmware folder.

No luck there.

In settings, I tried.

HTC Rezound GB (not available on the wifi_tether_v3_1-beta11b2-Rezound.apk version), Samsung Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE), and Google NexusOne

each time I tried netd (master)

Routing fix is enabled each time.

I CANNOT find MSS Clamping option, perhaps that is the problem.

I am able to find the AP every time, but I cannot connect.

Any ideas?
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
This patch is not for ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich) and will not work. Reload your rom and use the wifi tether from the original source. I understand AP (Infrastructure) tethered works out of the box using Google Nexus driver on this device in ICS.

Again this patch will not work on any ICS rom and it is not needed. This patch is only for Gingerbread users.
[HTC Rezound] xdadevnube:
Thanks for the info, but the CleanROM Tapped version is Gingerbread. I just tried the Galaxy Nexus profile anyways.

I was pretty bummed I couldn't get it working because I didn't want to deal with kernel issues on ICS yet. I was hoping for a daily driver until we get stable ICS release.

What I'm wondering is if being on the old firmware on GB is the problem. I am running CleanROM Kang Tapped with the firmware patch that allows the SDCard to be mounted. I wonder if the issue resides in using the old firmware, I didn't want to upgrade to the new RUU in case I wanted to roll back.
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
That be the case it looks like wifi radios were updated based on what I saw in your last post. Still you need to reflaah your rom because the old wifi radios in my patch will not work for the new GB that just dropped. Instead using root explorer copy the apsta2 file over the apsta1 file and using the same patched Wifi Tether app in my post all should work. My apologies earlier I was not aware a new GB rom dropped.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Unless you're running some older version, Tapped is based off CleanRom DE 1.2 which is ICS... You don't need this fix, just follow the wifi instructions in the CleanRom DE OP...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1556183

You need that patch because you're using the old firmware with a newer ICS ROM by the way, you have it backwards.
[HTC Rezound] xdadevnube:
Totally, I feel like such a dork. The first thing i did was try to get wifitether working, and I didn't even realize I was on ICS. I was like, man this ROM is sick.

Anyways.

I think this is eligible for some sort of "Nube move of the month" award.

Thanks for help, you guys rock!
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
Thank you for the info your absolutely right if this is an ICS rom my work in will not work and is not needed.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
No problem and thank you for the fix, I am on GB for now. :)
[HTC Rezound] kpkimmel:
I must be missing something , all I did was download latest from tether website, set device to thunderbolt, setup is ad-hoc with routing fix checked and works perfect.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
You can't run AP mode on the Rezound with GB. In my case, I could get my laptop to connect, couldn't get things like my wife's Kindle Fire to see my phone though. This mod allows AP mode on GB.

Well, they released Beta 13 about three hours ago...lol Are you going to Modify it? Change Log looks like only cosmetic changes. ICS theme and Button Change and a new language translation.

Wow. Dude, great job. I haven't looked at this thread in a while but you and con247 did an awesome job getting this easy peasy for us. Downloading now, keep up the good work.

It works great. I had to go back to GB and having this makes my rezound complete. Thanks again.

Thank you ! As soon as i found this thread I wanted to go back to gb really bad but I have already upgraded to ics. Now with s-off and this method, I went back in a heart beat and everything works perfect !!!

I am on beta12 and it works flawlessly, not sure what beta14 has to offer.
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
Nice to see people still finding this useful, I was starting too fear I was part of only a handful still using GB :-)
[HTC Rezound] El Schisne:
I just tried this for the first time, on the rooted stock ROM, without having had a previous installation of any wi-fi tether app. Unfortunately, I can't get it to broadcast an SSID.

I flashed WifiTetherCompleteR14.zip from Amon Ra 3.15, rebooted, opened the Wifi Tether app, and made the following changes in the settings:

Device-Profile: HTC Rezound GB

Setup-Method: Netd (master)

Encryption: On (and obviously I set an SSID and passphrase)

Channel: 3

MSS clamping: checked

Routing fix: checked

The log reads:

Loading WiFi driver...

Stopping WiFi interface...

Reloading firmware...

Starting AP interface...

Configuring AP...

Starting AP...

Configuring Ip-address...

Enabling Routing fix...

Enabling NAT rules...

Enabling MSS Clamping...

Enabling IP forwarding...

Tethering now running...

...all without error. I have tried to use it with a computer, an older Android phone, and an Android tablet. None of them sees the wireless network.

Any ideas?

Edit: Herp derp, apparently it doesn't like SSIDs containing spaces. It didn't complain when I initially entered an SSID containing a space, but now it tells me that's an invalid character. Tried it without a space, and it works without a hitch. Thanks so much for this utility, and my apologies for the noob mistake!

Thank you, I used this all weekend with no issues
[HTC Rezound] willywonkaisrsh:
So, can EasyFix #2 be performed on a stock, rooted ROM?

I ask because it says in the instructions you need CleanROM 1.7+, but eariler in the thread post it says it can work on almost any GB ROM.

Should work on any GB rom my own tests were on CleanROM but many have reported success using this on other roms

[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
Posted a small update today. Corrected the firmware path names, added a credit for the patch and a button for donating in the about box, also removed SoftAP for Rezound profile. All in smali might add, an interesting language. Also updated app main title to advertise being patched vs original so you know what you are using.

[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
I tested both files when I uploaded them via Chrome and everything was good. Per your post I also just checked both files using FireFox (and different ISP) and they both downloaded completely. Try a different browser, this is starting to seem like an XDA vs client browser (or connection) issue.

I also just double checked my default Android browser downloaded both completely as well. Please try again and let me know how it goes, Thanks!

Got A good Download at home.....using Firefox, but it will not install. Never had an issue with the other versions just installing over the other. APK will not install.

That would be my fault...

I uploaded the wrong APK, I had both the signed and unsigned versions in the same folder. The file will work now. Sorry about that.

I also went ahead and removed all the old versions, because this is the best version ever...even though I think I'm kinda partial.

Flawless. Thanks sir gates
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
Your welcome, enjoy everyone!
[HTC Rezound] RomsWell:
I'll also add that however you have it preset it stopped my data stalls. For example using the normal beta Google tether app on auto and adhoc I would every few minutes on my MMO game ( yeah that's right I said MMO) would get a 2 or 3 second stall taking my ping from 90 to 3000 then back. You fixed it yayy lol. Really huge fix for me lol. Thanks again.
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
Your welcome! I am glad it is working for you :-)
[HTC Rezound] slydweis:
Thank you for this. I've been going crazy trying to get my rezound to tether.
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
Great tell your friends about it, I would love to get this stickied ;-)
[HTC Rezound] :
Has anyone else had issues with the connection stopping after a while? It works great for about 20 or 30 minutes then it stops and I have to stop tethering and kill the app to get it to work again.
[HTC Rezound] manbat:
Haven't had any issues....but I've never tethered more than about 30 minutes....
[HTC Rezound] RomsWell:
I've got hours into a single tether session with no problems. And its a active ping dependent type use. While answering phone and so on.

Ill add that I use the incredi kernel. Might make a difference. And outta habit I flash a kernel twice.
[HTC Rezound] :
I will give the kernel a try. Noob question, but once I flash the kernel, do I have to reflash this fix for tethering?
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
Nope, only if you flash a rom. Kernels by themselves do not change anything my patch fixes.
[HTC Rezound] RomsWell:
That's a question for gates. I would for shiz and giggles. Maybe wipe dalvik.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Just a quick suggestion... put the actual fix at the top of the OP. All of the text and previous progress updates might scare people off because it looks like more work than it is.
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
Done! Thanks for the suggestion.
[HTC Rezound] RomsWell:
Gonna add a ics profile to the app gates? I prefer your setup. Auto or nexus stall for a few secs every few minutes. I dunno like a bottleneck or something. It doesn't drop just a long pause. And with ics and prolly source right around the corner jus wondering... Hint hint lol.
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
I will look into it and see if there is something I can do. As far as I was aware ICS wasn't having any issues with tether, or have people just been putting up with issues?
[HTC Rezound] RomsWell:
I haven't tried on the newest leak, but when I use the normal beta app I get a data stall every few mins. Not a complete disconnect just a 3 second stall then it picks back up. Normal use won't have issues. But in my case Im ping sensitive so the 3 second stall pauses my game play in my MMO for a few secs leading to death and other adverse affects lol. But your method runs for hours without a single stall. It's almost a bottleneck but the packets are so small it shouldnt be a issue. hours of play might rack up 10 megs or so. And most of that is from progs on the comp running there update checks. It's the same on gb or ics. Not sure why. Also gb and ics radios don't make difference. Though I'm on the newest firm and radio and I haven't tested yet.
[HTC Rezound] hhart24:
:confused: Ok I followed the directions on the Rezound Fix, BUT I am still getting the Error message when I turn on the wifi tethering... Why?? :confused:

Can someone help??
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
I need more information. What is the error message? What ROM are you running? Thanks in advance.
[HTC Rezound] hhart24:
HotSpot Error

This is the info you requested... If i need a differant Rom can you please send me the info to flash it with out dealing with the phone erroring out during flashm, rebooting, and/or unable to mount sd card.
[HTC Rezound] RomsWell:
First the pic shows no needed info lol. Second it looks like your missing WiFi modules for your kernel. And third clear the app out of superuser so u can readd it to see if its a Su issue. And after double checking the pic u posted your not even using the right tether app......... Clear the tether app data uninstall it and start from scratch. It's a single flash zip. Re read the op
[HTC Rezound] sliding_billy:
Huge thanks for this SirGatez. I messed with Getting WiFi Tether to work for quite a while and was ready to give up (I rarely need it) until I tried your method. Worked perfectly.
[HTC Rezound] hhart24:
:confused: Well tell me why I am getting this about the loading WiFi driver?? See attachment of the log.... :confused:
[HTC Rezound] RomsWell:
WiFi modules are missing or not matched to your kernel. Download incredi kernel flash it thru recovery then flash the kernel thru hboot. Make sure you delete any PH98IMG still on the root of sd card or it won't create a new one when u flash the.zip in recovery. I bet normal WiFi won't turn on for u right now will it? You can get the kernel here

WARNING: THIS DOWNLOAD IS CONSIDERED BETA AND MAYBE UNSTABLE, DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT UNLESS YOU KNOW HOW TO HANDLE APPLICATIONS THAT MALFUNCTION

Kidney Poker, I have this test version for ICS here, if this APK works we might try moving your firmware as well just like on the GB version. Do not use the firmware included in my GB patch in the primary post. Let me know if this Wifi Tether apk works first. If so then we will try a firmware swap and see if we can eliminate the packet drops in your ICS. I am not running ICS so I can not test it.
[HTC Rezound] RomsWell:
Thanks gates ill run it thru the ringer after work today
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
I haven't heard anything back, how did your testing go?
[HTC Rezound] RomsWell:
Like you I run gb as my driver. Trying to find that few hour spot to do some ics runs. Id be on ics full time prolly but I use your tether app to much to make the true leap. I should be home on time tomorrow, Ill get it setup and tested. Sorry it took so long. I'm a plumber fulltime and I have some retarded hours.

It's understandable. I myself have actually been sick all day today, picked up the bug my little girls are just starting to get over.

Todays the day. Ill edit this post later today/tonight. Hope your feeling better. I have two boys 9 and 6. Seems like twice a month were all fighting something off lol
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
I switched to ICS yesterday with the newest CleanROM and so far am loving it. My test ICS tether app works just fine but I'm interested in this data stall you claimed to be having with your online game while tethering so let me know how this one works.
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
Had a chance to run tether through the ringer, Kidney Poker?
[HTC Rezound] RomsWell:
Yeah for a few hours. Seemed fine. Ima run it again tonight. But all seems well.
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
Once you confirm it's not a fluke I'm going to post it as having support for ICS. I think the stalling comes from using the wrong driver file names for this device.
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
Confirmation?
[HTC Rezound] RomsWell:
I think so. Didn't have any abnormal hiccups. I'll keep ya posted. But so far so good.
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
I have updated the downloads to include the new 14C version. The GB aspect of this patched Wifi Tether is identical to 14B. 14C includes a Rezound ICS profile with corrected firmware/modules names/locations that may help to improve connection quality for those tethering on ICS, particularly those who's internet activity require low consistent pings such as those gaming who may have been experiencing stuttering in their connections. Please post and let me know if this helps you or not, I always appreciate feedback so I can further improve on this project. Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] RomsWell:
Thanks for all the time you've put into this project. Really can't thank ya enough. This is my sole connection to the intertron. Without it my free time would be much less enjoyable. I'm totally free this weekend so ill give the ics setup one more real good run. I'm still a gb daily but I think ill make the perma leap to ics due to my connection woes being stomped on ;) Thanks again Gates
