ICS RUU wifi tether issue

Manbat, thanks for the info. first I unsuccessfully tried to install ICS OTA, froze, did a full nandroid restore, then installed ICS RUU via forum method..this worked. are we saying the old GB wifi files are controlling ICS wifi and the Sir Gatez fix is gone? So what data am I clearing and what am I un/reinstalling? Obviously a question from a neophite, but your thoughts are very appreciated.
[HTC Rezound] manbat:
===========[[>

If you restored the apps from an install on GB with the" fix zip installed....I believe it is being miss directed to the fixes modified files and settings. At least in my case the app would not work for me until I did a "clean install" of the newest version at the time (there is a newer one now). I cleared data to make sure new install would be clean. Has worked fine since. No fix is need on ICS....supported natively. Rezound is in option of newest two apps....
[HTC Rezound] JCatman:
I think I follow..here's where the noober comes in. what is needed for a "clean install" thought installing the ICS RUU would wipe everything. and you are referring to the newer version of what? ICS RUU, other files? sorry that I need more detail, but thanks in advance!
[HTC Rezound] manbat:
RUU should be a wipe. I had restored from Titanium...thus the bad info was there. With a fresh RUU and no restore you should be able to just install and set up and go! :)

ICS RUU wifi tether

Thanks to Manbat and SirGatez. I think we are in business. installed newest android tether apk, tweaked settings, channel change, checked routing fix, and used rezound profile..seems to be working. will run wifi analyzer. note: did not remove or reintall any files after installing ICS RUU.

[HTC Rezound] Cares:
For 3.3 pre 2 on the Rezound...can you get Vibrate notifications to work when a device connects? I have it on but it doesn't seem to notify me.

I'm also getting an error when turning on Tether. "Enabling MSS Clamping failed." I'm not noticing any issues in regards to the actual tether but is this something I need to look into/fix?
[HTC Rezound] manbat:
The Vibrate on connect works fine for me. As far a the "Clamping" error....Open the log from the menu. If clamping is green three is no problem. I do have a problem with this version not starting sometimes. I rolled back to v3.2 beta 2 and have no issues.
[HTC Rezound] Cares:
Clamping in the error log is red. But I haven't had any problems visiting websites. Notifications don't work for me even rolling back to the beta.
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
I do not know what changes are in the latest release and have not tried it yet. I will have a look in the meantime continue using the older version. I doubt anything in the new one is going to blow a hole in the roof :)

No Broadcast

I cannot get the rezound to broadcast the SSID

I am rooted on Venom ROM

[ROM][07.18.12]Team Venom presents:ViperRez 1.0.3

S-On

I have installed several .apk's including the 3.3Pre2 Experimental.

The only error in the log is enabling MSS Clamping.

Kernel is 3.016-gd0049f1 htc-kernel@u18000-build 144 #1

Any help would be appreciated.
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
Can you connect to the SSID manually?

Can anyone else confirm any problems using this app with Venom ROM?
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
I will need to know the name of the wifi device that the DNA sets up. You can find it using ADB:

Enter "netcfg" copy and save the results labeled tether off.

Turn tether on (ignore settings they won't matter for now.

Enter "netcfg" copy and save the results labeled tether on.

Look for a new device that was not on the first list and let me know what it is, and this will be a start, if your lucky only a device name is different and nothing else will need to be changed. Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
I will need to know what ROM, kernel, and Android base that you are using to be able to be of any help.

Example: "SilverKnight ROM, Kernel 1.0.0 by Cerberus, Stock 4.0.1 (with HTC internal version if known) / AOSP 4.0.1 by The Grandmaster"

Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] graywolfman:
Thank you!!

Dear SirGatez,

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!

I have the Rezound stock but rooted ICS and this is working great. I will be donating once I am home. I use wifi tethering to update my parents' home theater systems because they live in the middle of nowhere, the only available internet options are satellite and dial-up.They have Thunderbolts for now, so PDANet is the only way to get them online with their PC (I don't want to root their phones since I live 100 miles away, support would be all but impossible). This is awesome! Thank you again!

/gush
[HTC Rezound] hungsolow:
Hey boss man, it works under your previously developed profile for the Rezound and with Netd-Ndc (master), WiFi-driver reload checked, MSS clamping checked, and Routing fix checked. Your previous development is still rock solid. I was only requesting an "HTC DNA" profile/name mainly for aesthetics and I know you r the man that can make it happen! :D

Btw, if you decide you will do it for us, and if you decided also to create a new thread in the DNA forum (I recommend) it is running JB fwiw...
[HTC Rezound] itchn2go:
The TeatherGuard.apk app was still in my system/app directory. I renamed it and I can connect now.

I guess the Venom Rom did not remove this.

[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
Glad you got it working. :)

[HTC Rezound] mrksbrd:
[MENTION=2394170]SirGatez[/MENTION] Can someone explain something to me. I've tried just about every ROM on the Rezound forum and I cannot get any of the Wi-Fi tethering programs to work. I've RUU'd many times and still nothing. Tried the Global RUU, flashed just about everything there is to flash and tried every suggestion/configuration I've read, still no luck. Could I be missing something. Could it be a soft brick issue even though I've RUU'd? Please help me with this one. (BTW it was previously working but then something went haywire after running a custom for about a year and a half)
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
Unfortunately since I started using JB about 5 months ago I have had the same issues. For some people, it works, for some it doesn't, your best bet if you need tethering at this time is to either switch back to a Sense Rom (not the very latest, one version back), use CounterShrike (ICS AOSP), or use an open hotspot (no encryption) via the builtin tether of your rom. At this time these are the only options available. Once we can get tether working more reliably across all of our Rezound devices then I should be able to patch the program to work with our devices, not that it would be needed as the OS does support native tethering.

On an older version of Infection (2.4 I think) I was able to use wifi tether built into the rom but only without encryption. Since then I can't use it at all, the moment anyone connects to any hotspot I make my 3G drops out resulting in no data. :P

If anyone has any suggestions feel free to chime in, I'd love to get this working for everyone again :)
[HTC Rezound] mrksbrd:
OK, thought it was me. I did find in the build.prop a setting for wlan=0 and the scan interval=30, I changed it to wlan=1 and scan interval=180. (Guessing that's for WiFi though cause just that didn't work) Any idea where we can get the file names and locations of what devs remove for customs to bypass tethering guard? I did find a few but I know it's more in-depth than just being on the surface. But I'm thinking if we can find those files it should work over multiple VZW devices even when running stock rooted.... Yes/No??
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
It doesn't appear to be a tethering guard. At least not in the sense that we're use to. If it is or isn't the changes are deeper in the driver code (for latest Sense version). On AOSP, the issue appears to be some sort of buffer or configuration problem.
[HTC Rezound] mrksbrd:
OK, unless I'm looking at "buffer" in the wrong light, I can't see it being that just because on all circumstances that I've been running into it will say that it is connected (at least the icon shows without/with errors) but it doesn't broadcast. This leads me to believe that at least with vzw there is an imbedded code to check their servers for proper provisioning. Or maybe like you said a configuration problem, unfortunately I don't know anything about code
[HTC Rezound] echolocator:
I think the tethering issues have something to do with DNS. Usually it will connect, but Windows says limited connectivity and tests show it cannot resolve hostnames.
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
This issue should be resolved for the latest HTC Rezound ICS rom now v4.03.605.2.

Everyone Enjoy!
[HTC Rezound] jtio21:
The latest WiFi tether is not working for me no devices are picking it up my super user is reading permissions : none,none I can't get it work any advice. I am tuning erez version 9 on stoke kernel
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
This fix is specific to the latest stock HTC ICS version and has not been tested on hybrid Sense 4 roms. Please try this fix using the latest official stock rom v4.03.605.2 with a custom kernel and let me know if that works for you. I have not tested other current roms for this fix and can not guarantee it will work on them at this time.
[HTC Rezound] Uzephi:
That is the latest leak. Latest official OTA is 4.05.605.14 is that the one you are talking about?
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
Mistake on my part with the version :) I did not try the latest OTA just the latest RUU. I will get the latest OTA and try it too, in the mean time you can duplicate the patch by using root explorer a copying the ap2 file over the ap1 file in /system/etc/firmware as explained in the original post for GB. Let me know your results, I did reboot after the change so please try that after replacing the file incase it is loaded at boot.
[HTC Rezound] jtio21:
I fixed it just a Rom thing. I am now on the latest version of WiFi tether from google code. But my ssid is hidden now is that a new feature or should I just go back to a previous build.
[HTC Rezound] derek4484:
Doing this will let us have infrastructure mode tethering?
[HTC Rezound] theseeker2654:
I havent tested it yet. but that seems to be the case. I will be testing on a stock vzw rom that is rooted tonight when I get home from work.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
I am gonna try to make this flashable. Shouldn't take long. However, I can't really test since I am on ICS and tether already works.
[HTC Rezound] antispiral:
yeses it works and yes this does make it work on infrastructure mode.
[HTC Rezound] theseeker2654:
If you make a flashable zip i will test it out on my rooted/debloated stock vzw rom.

Im just confused about one thing. The attached file SAYS its an apk but when I download it its a zip? Am I missing something? Is that a flashable zip or is it an apk?
[HTC Rezound] con247:
pulled... it doesn't work
[HTC Rezound] theseeker2654:
Flashed the zip and its fc'ing when I try and launch wifi tether.

I did notice that the zip did change the files correctly in the etc folder so not sure whats up.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Do you have root explorer? I think the issue is the permissions on the apk. Hold up... if you have root explorer, change the permissions of the wifi tether apk to the same as the surrounding files.
[HTC Rezound] theseeker2654:
I have File manager with root rights so i can delve into any folder I need to. and move around files. thats how I verified that the files were changed

I think the issue is the permissions on the apk. Hold up... if you have root explorer, change the permissions of the wifi tether apk to the same as the surrounding files.

Trying this now^^^^^
[HTC Rezound] theascended:
What were the changes made to the android-wifi-tether APK? Are these changes that can/should be sent back to the project to allow updates to continue to work on the Rezound (Gingerbread)?
[HTC Rezound] theseeker2654:
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.

Tried, same thing. FCing. Verified perms look the same as surrounding apk's in the /system/apps folder. Even tried moving to the /data/apps folder and restarting and no dice. fcing again. I wonder if its because Im not on a custom ROM?
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Try just deleting the tether app and installing it manually. I want to be able to tell if the firmware files are causing the issue.
[HTC Rezound] theseeker2654:
Where is the modified APK? Because the file attached to the OP downloads as a zip file for me...
[HTC Rezound] con247:
just rename it from .zip to .apk

The browser just screws with people.
[HTC Rezound] theseeker2654:
Ok downloaded directly from my phone and installed the apk attached to the OP, and left the changes to the firmware folder intact. And it opened. I have yet to test it but will do that now.

I got attached and was able to browse to google and doa search. Strange thing is... I tried going into the forums here and couldnt get into the thread to respond via the AP tethering. Kept getting a connection error in IE. But its definitely working.. I will play around with settings and try it from my home computer instead of work laptop.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
So the issue is definitely the permissions of the tether APK. I will look into that tonight.
[HTC Rezound] tbot:
Well, looks like I might be going back to GB noe haha...good work man!
[HTC Rezound] bast525:
OP - you sir are brilliant and your efforts greatly appreciated! I have been sticking it out on GB until we get a truly bug free ICS ROM, and figured AP tethering and encryption would have to wait. Thank you for supporting the late adopters.

I can confirm this method worked perfectly on a stock, debloated ROM with stock kernel.
[HTC Rezound] littlebo:
I can confirm everything work like a charm on my GB Clean Rom ! I also keep GB for stability and bugless reasons, tethering was the only issue till now. My stupid notebook with intel 5100 wont work in ad hoc with my rez while even lousy iphone did ! Now rez can work in infrastructure and any of my devices can tether to it . OP great work ! Thank you very much !! Its time to make a donate button ! ! ! :)
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
I appreciate you trying to package this down for ease of install for others, if you finish it before I get a chance to do one up I'll throw it in the OP with credit too you. My advice force delete any old version of this tether before copying the apk over that way android does have an owner/permissions fc. The folder is the same for the original tether and mine. Remove the old apk, and the old data folder, and and the old dalvik file for it then install the new apk. Check XDA thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1268661 (by Blue6IX) for an edify how to on updating a system app. Remember to remove all copies of the old apk it could be in data/apps or syatem/apps. You may have to wipe all dalvik cache but you might be able to skip that if you can just remove wifi tether dalvik cache.

I am glad everyone is loving this!

Bast525 I have to agree until we have ICS kernel source and some more stable roms/kernels I will continue to use GB as my daily driver.

Also to the comment from littlebo about me needing to make a donate button, please look above my avatar to the left of all my posts ;-)
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Ok, this one just avoids the APK to avoid problems.

To use:

1) Flash in recovery

2) Install APK from OP

3) Open App and follow SirGatez's instructions

4) Thank SirGatez
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
I looked over the file it looks great and takes care of the firmware files proper, but could you update it to rename the original to a .bin.bak file instead of deleting it. Just incase anyone wants to revert they don't have to hunt up firmware files. Thanks! Once I get home I'll update the OP with the new file and instructions.
[HTC Rezound] johnwaynegacy:
Not working for me. Probablybecause I am on stock, not cleanrom. For me the app crashes on open, I wiped cache. It is strange.

THANK you !
[HTC Rezound] theseeker2654:
I can confirm it IS working on my stock rom. I am rooted with a custom kernal, but still stock vzw gb rom. Try flashing the latest zip and then after that installing the apk in the OP and you should be golden. Thats all I did and working fine. Basically do exactly what CON said in his latest post.

Working great!!! Running Inf v1.3 A big thanks to you both!!! Awesome work!!! :):)
[HTC Rezound] theascended:
I'm having issues running it on BAMF Cubed 1.0.2

Tether starts fine, my computers can see it, but it bails on the connection without telling me why and tether never recognizes the connection.
[HTC Rezound] johnwaynegacy:
That's exactly what I did. When it didn't work, I even deleted the dalvik cache files for the app. It will probably work if I wipe data, but I will hold off on that.
[HTC Rezound] johnwaynegacy:
I ran a logcat and the app won't open because of missing classes.dex files for wifi tether that I manually deleted from dalvik cache. I was thinking those files were autogenerated. Any ideas?
[HTC Rezound] krelvinaz:
Just tried this. I have a STOCK GB Rom with root. I already had the WiFi tether and had to uninstall it first to load the modified one. Moving the firmware files was fairly easy using Root Explorer.

For the first time, I now have the SSID showing up and was able to connect to and use it. Speeds are a bit on the slow side, but it does work and that is all that really matters for me.

GREAT WORK!
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
Unusual problem, sounds like a partial uninstall failed. I recommend using root explorer and removing all traces of Wifi Tether then reboot to recovery and wipe dalvik cache. Note my warning if a Wifi Tether apk is in your system you MUST REMOVE IT.

Then try my patched Wifi Tether again.

If you get the same error, uninstall and try the one from the official wifi tether website (the tethering won't work but I'm trying too see if it gives you the same classes.dex error)

If it gives the same error you may have to do a full wipe.

If it works (without the classes.dex error) then uninstall wifi tether and install my patched one again. If my patched copy does not work then I am at a loss for words because it is working for everyone else, and again the only option left is a full wipe to see if it works after that.

If it does not work after a full wipe then you might have to try a different ROM or at least redownload your current rom and reinstall (you could be running a corrupted ROM).

But if your ROM is reinstalled fresh from a known good source and it still fails then it just is not going to work on that rom and I offer my condolences to your ROM.

Post back to let me know how it goes and I wish you luck, technically you should have everything working no later than a full wipe in the above steps unless something is seriously wrong with the rom.
[HTC Rezound] johnwaynegacy:
Oddly the one from the original developers crashes on startup. I didn't logcat it, but I will assume it is the same problem. I have no plans to wipe data or cache until I see aosp on my phone, I can wait.

First thank you for this MOD its amazing what these Devs can create. I was trying to get this running thought it would be easy with the zip from Con and the modified apk. for some reason I could not get it to work my steps:

1 Wanted to start fresh so I wiped data factory reset, cache, dalvik and system, flashe CleanRom GBE 1.7.5 and kernal.

2 deleted wifi tether apk incuded in Rom with ES File Explorer.

3 Recovery wiped dalvik and cache and flashed Wifitetherfix.zip

4 installed modified wifitether from OP

5 Set device as Google NexusOne

6 Set method as NetD (master)

7 Check MSS Clamping and Routing fix

8 Turned on wifitether

My laptop or tablet cannot find the signal from my phone. What am I missing, Really would like to get this working. If and when I go to turn it off the phone gets stuck and reboots. I have re-flashed the Rom several time trying to get this working I really don't want to give up...
[HTC Rezound] johnwaynegacy:
I got it to the point where I am having this exact issue. The app starts, my tablet doesn't see it, turn off tether and my phone reboots.

New EasyFix 2

More complete EasyFix 2 has been posted, this should fix any issues that users were having previously and will also reduce apk conflicts. Remember if you reinstall the official Wireless Tether APK you MUST first UNINSTALL the patched version because they are signed differently and it will NOT update as a result.

ENJOY!

Also maybe it is me but I could not get my patched version to work as a system app, does the original have this same issue? Or is it something I may have forgotten to make it work as a system app? Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] RomsWell:
Perms?
[HTC Rezound] SirGatez:
That's what I thought at first but no. Install the app to data and make it system via titanium backup and all it will do is FC, same as installing to system via update.zip think it is something in signing? I tried testkey and platform and both had same result.
