[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TrevE:
*Edit* nevermind, diffed wrong stuff. I do start the adapters with an insmod to the bcmdhd_apsta.bin firmware so i thought this could be on the right track but probably not.

for /system/etc/wifi

d2tmo == d2att

d2vzw == d2spr

CDMA vs GSM, must be something else.

For you galaxy s3 users if the same thing is happening to you (even the d2tmo build of cyanogen you are getting the tmobile hotspot page) I believe I have the answer.

I looked how Cyanogen mod is built for d2* (galaxy s3). The vendor specific files are listed in:

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...n/blob/jellybean/common-proprietary-files.txt

These vendor specific files are copied from the device as is and not built from source. The interesting ones are

So I downloaded d2vzw / d2tmo / d2spr versions to check out the wifi firmware. d2vzw / d2spr are identical. d2tmo changes the wifi firmware files

Which is bizarre because sprint and vzw are identical and do not get the paywall (im guessing ATT doesnt either). All 4 devices use same hardware so this is my best guess at what changed in tmo's bins (paywall useragent check)

My suggestion for d2tmo that are getting the paywall - take the firmware files in above quote from a d2vzw rom. You may only need the apsta as this is the firmware I load in the app to start an AP is but youll have to mess around.

As for Galaxy S4G - you should be able to use same logic to try to find whats different in yours to take a shot at bypassing that page.

Excellent Work!

This works great for me! I now have tethering with encryption. I just rooted my S3 yesterday. Tethering was the first thing I wanted but I was not able to get it working even without encryption until I came across this modified apk. Thanks for all your hard work on this.

This only problem I have is that after I run the tether I cannot restart my wifi. I tried killing the app with a manager to no avail. I must reboot to get it back. I would have searched the thread for a solution but I figured searching with key word wifi would not be very useful ;)

Thanks much

edit: I did a search a search for "restart" (duh) and I do see that others are having the same problem. I did not see a solution though. One poster used the 11/18 version but that was not working for me before I switched to the latest. Maybe I will try it again.

TrevE just wanted to give you an update that I have figured it out thanks to using your app...Really need to thank a number of people for this. First to WarlockW for getting me to use the correct apps to make this modification. Wyse1 for basically finishing it off with the APN modification

his post is provided below. He ended up changing the APN settings to the international version from the Tmobile version and it worked! http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1962752&page=10

Once again thanks for this.

I can't install this for some reason. Downloaded the lastest and the 11/22 build. I'm on beans' "JellyBeans_B4p" build. I keep getting application is not installed. Verizon GS3 SuperSu

Oh well, installed CleanRom 5.0 and it installed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Gandoff:
T-Mobile Hot Spot page back!

So I removed my SD card and started to surf the web shortly after and the hot spot page appeared! I checked my APN and noticed that the "

default APN "T-mobile US" is being used and not the modified version which I named "modified APN". The APN somehow was replaced. Also, I tried to put it back using APN back and restore and it will not switch to it. What is going on?

Correction, looks like it is being replaced properly, since the APN name is written within the file. But the hot spot page is popping up. How could it work before but not now? Very confused.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ratbastrd:
Works like a charm, well done!!!!

Anything I can do to circumvent VZW restrictions, is fine by me.

After 15 years as a customer, I am done arguing with them. When my contract is up I am moving on to other pastures. As a global traveler it is astonishing to me the lack of foresight and creativity VZW has employed in terms of global services support, particularly now that they have the devices to effect a change.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobo2xtreme:
Dam this actually worked. I'm using frosty jb forget the number versions but I'm always on the latest. I just installed it and used it I didn't have to change any settings.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dunderball:
I can confirm that the 'reload 2' option works on vzw galaxy s3 and doesn't block enabling of wifi afterwards. I hadn't tethered for longer than 10-15 minutes though so can not report on stability but it seemed solid.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sam1Cohen:
THANK YOU!!! After reading through this I added Super Su and it works perfectly on my Sprint (Stock rooted) S3. This will make my daughter (2.5) very happy since we can watch Mickey videos on her tablet now when driving!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eyecon82:
The default options worked for me for about 8 hours yestreday with straight tethering on sprint deodexed stock rom...no issues at all with the 11/22 version
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droider137:
Which build are you running?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cyrnel:
I'm using a SG3 on Sprint with rooted stock JB. Figured out my "WTH your phone took control" errors. It would work okay for a few seconds to several minutes but wasn't predictable. Wireless optimization was off. I couldn't find any other apps to worry about so went back through settings.

Disabled: Settings->Location Services->Use wireless networks

Bingo. No more WTH errors.

The longer connections showed one more source of problems, when I have to wake up the display after it dims. Pressing the power button wakes the the display with an immediate WTH error. Extended my display timeout and all is fine.

Thank you TrevE!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jerryp7:
Which version of the app is working for you? I'm using the 11/18 and it works but it just doesn't seem "solid".
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cyrnel:
Right, that would be 11_22_2012. I almost tried 11/18 but stopped after discovering that disabling wifi location services helped.

My expectations aren't that high, given all the tethering problems I've had since the JB update arrived. With TrevE's mod, tethering has remained up for 40-odd minutes (longest I've tried so far) where 2 minutes was rare before.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Reeseybaby:
Problem! Why after about 20 mins playin on my ps3 through this app my network get disconnected & da wifi sign disappear i got frustrated & stop playin my ps3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jerryp7:
Thanks. After last night though I might just stick with my 11/18. I DL a movie to my tablet via Dropbox and it stayed connected for HOURS (Sprint is sooo frustratingly slow but less annoying when I'm sleeping - lol). One thing I changed was the DNS to Open DNS http://www.opendns.com/opendns-ip-addresses these are 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.222.220. Try that and if connection time improves please let me know. Others may get better mileage with this too and it's easy enough to try.

Working on VZW Rooted, Stock K1 leak

Thanks TrevE and Dunderball. I second Dundeball's findings. Tethers great and wifi works fine after stopping tether. I'm using the 11-22 version and the only changes I made were to enable encryption and set "reload 2" option. I'm running the 11-20 version of open1your1eyes0's Stock, rooted VLBLK1 leak. Thanks again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ZenInsight:
My daughter is version 3.5

We hope to upgrade to 4.0 soon as 3.5 has a lot of "no!" exception error responses when inputting commands.

Edit: Strangly enough, when we used to run the program Ice Cream Sandwich in the past...we never got those exception errors. Odd.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] seanvree:
So this app works beautifully, however after about a week of using this app I started to get Push messages from T-mobile stating "smartphone mobile hotspot (tethering) access has been blocked (see screen shot).

I thought we didn't need the service to use this app?!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] open1your1eyes0:
T-Mobile is special. They don't block apps but they actively monitor your web traffic to make sure you aren't using a desktop web browser. If you tether using an Android tablet for example all your websites will work. I figured the only work around which I have been using is implement my own VPN server at home (I do my own because I don't trust free public ones with my bank data etc...but you can use them if you want). They idea is whatever device you connect to your phone that you want to use the tether connection from just join the VPN and that way it secures the traffic so T-Mobile can't tell if you're using a desktop web browser or not as it's all encrypted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fireboypr:
Can you point out how to do that?? And thank you very much for that information.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] seanvree:
Yes please!

so far with Sprint Note 2 stock rom / pegasus kernel. Wifi reload #2 works.

BUT... it automatically stops by itself from time to time and I have to manually start tethering again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mattrleaf:
Thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rkf1957:
Thank you

Just activated my first rooted phone today. (Swappa purchase) I am running Cleanrom 5.0. It has super SU. Installed v11-22, enabled encryption, wifi driver reload 2 and everything worked like a champ. Tried it with my laptop and Nexus 7. Carrier-Verizon Thanks so much!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] open1your1eyes0:
Yeah... unfortunately that's the only reason they brought back true unlimited data, you can't tether or even legitimately purchase a tethering option with that plan.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eyecon82:
if you accidentally turn on wifi on the 22 version, it kills wifi all together unless you restart

doesn't do that on version 18...im going back to that again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mystery_tx_man:
Those who have sprint phones and are having wifi tether disconnect, you need to disable sprint connection optimizer in settings or you can remove the connection manager.apk in system/apps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ZenInsight:
I don't have that issue with 11-18 with Superusersu and jrummy's (must be) busy box installed.

Can you test that one?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jerryp7:
+1

Since version 18 doesn't support encryption, this morning I tried V2 and V3 (with wi-fi off) and both would only only work for about 20 seconds.

It was a pita but I uninstalled before each new install etc... Maybe I'm missing a setting.

I think we need a "Sprint survey" of who has what working and if it's not 18 what their setting are. I would like encryption but it doesn't work with 18 that I can tell otherwise I really wouldn't care.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jerryp7:
My Sprint connection optimizer is disabled. I believe the app you refer to is "Sprint Connection Optimizer". It's easy enough to disable with Root Uninstaller so I'll do that and try the other WifiTether versions again later.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eyecon82:
version 18 does support encryption for me...im running deodexed stock rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jerryp7:
Is that on a Sprint Galaxy S3? If so, would you mind seeing if your setting match mine?

The ones I think significant are;

Device profile - Samsung Galaxy S3

Setup method - Auto

Channel 01

Access control enabled

Keep Alive enabled

MSS clamping enabled

Routing fix enabled

Disabled wake lock enabled

Thanks

did you have a issue with not being able to toggle wifi back on after you were done using wifi?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eyecon82:

but with the 22 model, i am not able to turn wifi back on after a session

If on the latest turn off Wifi-driver reload and use Wifi-driver reload 2

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TrevE:
Sorry for low responses lately - it was my birthday this past week so there were some beers which needed to be drank :)

I went through the past through pages and updated FAQ's in post 2. I tried to link to all the posts where information came from, let me know if I left you out

Also posted a "new" apk WifiTether-TrevE_Mod_11_22_2012_driverReload2. I left it dated 11-22 as no code was changed, all I did was change the default option to driver reload2 instead of 1. This is useful for people embedding apk into rom so no changes should be needed if that works better for you.

Dont have time this week to figure out why the different reload is still needed, but source has been pushed to Ziggys SVN & wifi tether svn (3.3-pre2) if anyone else feels inspired to pick it up. .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jerryp7:
Thanks - doesn't work for me and don't know why. I guess I just have to keep granting (or not) access.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] esqueue:
Can you give me a run-through of all your settings. I have a sprint gs3 root stock jb. I get no errors and it says that it is started but nothing finds it. I installed SuperSU and did all the settings everyone here posted but have never gotten it to work at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dcharleyultra:
Which version of Treve's file are you using?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NiteTrekker:
I downloaded the version with driver reload 2 set as default. Turned on encryption and left all other settings alone. Works fine with Sprint SG3 although I didn't test for any length of time because Sprint's 3G network is pathetic as far as speed goes. Still, this is a good backup in case my ISP goes down.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] esqueue:
If that question was for me, I am using version: 3.2-beta2-modv5***Synergized***

Edit: Ok so it seems that I am the only one that can't get the version 22 to work. I've read from page 1 to 24 and tried everyone's settings to no avail. I'll uninstall verstion 22 and try 18. I'll report my results even though I know that it will not work. I may have a version of the galaxy s3 that is incompatible.

Edit2: Tried version 11-18 and it also doesn't work. My devices can't find the connection. I did try my stock sprint hotspot to confirm that my phone is capable and that does work for a second until they see that I don't have hotspot subscription but my devices do find it.

Since I have no clue how to program, my only option is to hope that someone cracks the sprint hotspot program.

Have you tried the11/22 reload 2 version?

Have you tried resetting your router?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cyrnel:
Did you set the "Send Netd Max Client" option? That's the one I needed before my devices could see the AP. I know it's talked about here, and you may have already said one way or the other, but we're about to start a movie. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] slickdealers:
I got my sprint GS3 to work with version 18. You need to disable sprint's hotspot and install supersu. Here is the .apk I used. I got it off of qbking's website when he first made the video.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tempests:
I have a Sprint GS3 running a rooted stock JB TouchWiz ROM and 11/22 WIFI Tether works flawlessly. No need to disable or turn off anything. Just download the latest version and install it. The OP made all the necessary defaults, where nothing needs to be changed except some preferences like battery temp, etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] esqueue:
Yup, I tried all settings listed on the first page and almost everything that was listed in between.

SuperSU have been installed before I tried all the settings. I only enabled sprint's hotspot to make sure that my phone was capable and not broken. I turned it off after confirming that it does work.

I had 11/22 before but have 11/18 at the moment. I'll uninstall 11/18 and install 11/22 reload 2 before hitting enter.

Installed 11/22. I'll clear data and SuperSU's cleanup and reinstall feature to make sure that it isn't the issue. Updated binaries. Clearing data and uninstalling 11/22 reload 2 just for good measure and reinstalling. (no data to be cleared)

Checked settings. Device profile defaulted to auto. Setup-Method is also on auto. I'll leave it on that then change to Netd-Ndc (master) when it doesn't work. Send Netd Max Client Cmd, MSS Clamping, Routhing fix, Vibrate on connect and Disable Wake-Lock are all checked by default.

Trying now. Wifi tether is running with no errors but nothing finds it. Turned it off and no for same results. Turned off and changed Setup-Method from auto to Netd-Ndc (master)

Still nothing :( What other options do I have? Custom rom? I always thought if it ain't broken but it obviously is:crying:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eyecon82:
On the 11/18 version I could turn on wifi and it would stop wifi tether. But I could still start it back up again or turn on wifi

With the first 11/22 version, turning on wifi breaks it, only working againafter a restart

I ended up using CM10 to get wifi tethering to work. I tried out 11/22 and it worked. I then realized that the rom had wifi tethering built in so the app is no longer necessary.

Great job TrevE. Works flawlessly on CleanRom5 when nothing else would. I use tether a lot(I usually end up about 100gb data each month) so I needed something that worked and this was it! :)

SuperSU instead of SuperUser

For the life of me, I could not get why it wasn't working for me. Build 11-18 would turn WiFi back on but would not be visible, Build 11-22 would be visible but would not turn WiFi back on, then I realized I was "allowing" using my pre-installed SuperUser app and not the SuperSU app that was required. As soon as I set that app up and "allowed" WiFiTether thru SuperSU, all is well and working. Thanks to OP for all his work, My Galaxy S3 and Asus TF700T now make a fantastic pair!

Hey Everyone,

I am having an issue trying to get my Laptop to connect or tether off of my Samsung Galaxy S3, but I'm not sure what I'm missing. I have used these apps so many times, so I'm not sure.

The one thing I'm not sure about is that in the 'Settings' area, there is a place where I can 'Install Samsung Binaries' and also 'Cleanup Samsung Binaries'.

Am I supposed to use those options at all? If not, then I may have broken something, because I have been playing with those options. But I'm not sure.

There is no issue with the SSID, nor the passphrase, nor access control...although I am encrypting.

The issue is that my Laptop simply cannot connect to the WiFi. It sees it correctly, I enter the passphrase...but it just cannot connect.

I'm using v3.2-beta2-mod *Synergized... as it came built into my ROM 'Wicked Sensations'.

I've tried different combinations with using both a 'Auto' Profile as well as 'Samsung Galaxy S3' for the Profile, as that's what I have.

For 'Setup' I have also used 'Netd-NDC' as well as 'Auto'.

Anyway, let me know if there is a common issue that I'm missing.

Thanks!
