Same problem,

Like the above, my WiFi tether to iMac keeps shutting down after a few minutes, how can I stop this

Hi All,

I am a newwwwbie and that will be obvious

I have a Note 2 on Sprint here in Houston, Tx

It came with Jelly Bean 4.1.2 and the stock Sprint Rom

I had a more tech savvy friend then I root it and install a custom ROM.

He rooted it and put a custom ROM which he said is closest to the stock Sprint Rom. I think it's called H2O

Anyway, here is the problem. He installed WiFi Tether TrevE Mod, version 3.2-beta2-modv5

It works fine when I tether it to my iMac, mid 2010, running Snow Leopard, 10,6.8

But it shuts down about every 10 minutes by itself. I start the tethering again and it works for about another 10 minutes,

Any ideas, knowledgeable ones?

Thanks in advance.

PS: I am trying the above suggestion and seeing if it helps. I will report back.

Use the hotspot hack
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] guisar:
There's a zip and the did your for thread and others which you can flash to completely remove connection optimizer a.k.a spyware highly recommended
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nerys71:
and where is the hotspot hack? tethering "appears" to start up but NONE of my devices android or pc (xp or 7) can "SEE" any connection ie nothing to connect too.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cor4twenty:
Synergy rom has the built in tethering working :) never cuts off
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lovekeiiy:
some ROMs have it built in. Otherwise you can try TrevE's. You may have fiddle with settings. I believe it's working on Android 4.2. I'm still on 4.1.2, and the one available on Google Play works fine. I tried some of the beta builds, and were not working correctly.

Of course, make sure you have BusyBox installed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] rethys:
I'm running rooted 4.3 stock and have the same problem.

I've tried various versions of TrevE without success. I get teathering started with errors. Check Log, but the log doesn't exist. None of my devices see the hotspot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] internetpilot:
I realize some of you may want it for free, but if you're willing to plunk down a couple $, Wifi Tether Router in the Play store works perfectly. I went with it about two updates ago when all the hacks and mods stopped working reliably. It works on my sons' two S3's as well as Note 2, so I'm well covered for tethering.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lovekeiiy:
Assuming you're not on 4.3, which it is known not to work, I was in the situation above when I updated BusyBox binaries to the newest. For TrevEMod's WiFi Tether, it works best on 1.20.1-Stericson. You can download that version from within BusyBox selecting a "custom" to install.

On a side note, I found the same BusyBox was needed on WiFi Tether Router too. You don't necessary need Busybox for it, but if it is installed and on the latest BusyBox, it doesn't work correctly.

For all that looking for working wifi tether app on stock odex rom (or any other) it's called " wifi tether router" it's not free 3 bucks and yes you need root... piece:cool:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] m5james:
I've been using this for a couple years on my Sprint Note II without a problem (encryption, access control, etc all work) but keep getting an error message on my newly purchased SprintNote II for my mother. I've been searching threads but they're always different phones, different ROM/Kernal/Recovery, etc and I'm trying to avoid flashing her a ROM...I want it as reliable as stock, which is why I haven't even flashed my own phone. Trying to set TrevE mod to different phones in the Device settings, changed the Device Name and other random settings (duplicated my phones settings to be sure), etc all to no avail. I'll try to provide as much information as possible that might or might not be relevant here since my phone and hers have slight differences, but I could use some advice.

My Note:

- rooted using CFRoot, 3e Recovery is a smaller blue font

- stock ROM/Kernal, deleted a bunch of the bloatware,, running 4.1.2 (won't auto-update since root, glad I haven't yet if I can't get tethering)

- No busybox (at least not in my apps list), Lucky Patcher v5.3.2, SuperSU Pro v2.40 w/ SuperSU Pro V1 patch, TrevE Mod Version 3.2-beta2/modv5 ***Synergized***

Her Note:

- hasn't been activated yet, no SD card present

- rooted using CFRoot, 3e recovery in all red writing (KOT49H.L900VPUCNE2), then all the options are in blue, everything in a much larger font

- stock ROM/Kernal, running 4.4.2

- BusyBox Pro v18 (installed after Lucky Patcher said I needed to), Lucky Patcher v5.3.7, SuperSU Pro v2.40 w/ SuperSU Pro V1 patch, TrevE Mod Version 3.2-beta2/modv5 ***Synergized***

I've got 3 versions of TrevE mod in her Downloads folder, but they all give me the same error message once I start up. I hit the icon to start tethering, says "Please wait while starting..." then I get a pop-up saying "Tethering started with errors!! Please check 'Show Log'". When I check logs I get yet another pop-up saying "Unable to open log-File. File does not exist!" I don't know if there is a relevance to her phone not being activated yet, but I've put my phone in airplane mode and removed the SD card and I get no such errors. The versions I've been choosing from:

- Wifi Tether 3.0-pre11.apk

- Wifi Tether v3.2-beta2-mod5 ***Synergized***

- Wifi Tether v3.3-beta2-06102013 ***Synergized***

Below are screenshots from the SuperSU logs if they help at all.

I saw a few mentions of an app called "wifi tether router" in the app store having worked recently, bit I was not able to find this app. Anyone have an alternate link or source?

I am on a 4.4.2 Sprint Galaxy Note 2 rooted with stock ROM. So far with various tether apps in the app store Ive gotten tether to work for small amounts of time, but eventually the Sprint message redirecting to subscribe to their hotspot service always pops up and then it shuts off :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] internetpilot:
There's a Google Play link on his website:

How did you root your note 2. I have the sprint version .4.4.2

---------- Post added at 07:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:44 AM ----------

Can you send me the link on how to root my sprint note 2 4.4.2

And also you need the paid app wifi tether router. For it to work I have it on my note 3 and it works find
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lm631501:
Just a tip for other Sprint Note 2 users wanting to tether ... s suggested the Wifi Tether Router is the only app on stock rooted rom that supports free tethering. But Sprint blocks it from Google Play. Literally this was the ONLY tether solution after months of research. The creater does not offer an alternate download method...but it does come up in the Galaxy Apps appstore which came stock on the phone! Thanks for the tip. BEST 3$ EVER SPENT.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] graci11:
I just checked Galaxy apps and couldn't find the app. Could you please check if you can still see it there?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] internetpilot:
It's not in the Galaxy Apps store -- it's in the Google Play Store:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.snclab.wifitetherrouter&hl=en
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lm631501:
Just another quick update for Sprint users looking for tethering options.

I have tried the Xposed (great framework for Note 2 functionality BTW!) tethering module (cant remember the name atm but if you search tether in the repo it comes up), even made the suggested modifications to the recommended database file here..

http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/help/how-to-tether-blocking-fix-t2544487

the goal is to enable native tethering without use of third party app but on reboot the value changed in the file is returned to previous value by the phone.

So I continue to use the Wifi Tether Router app on my SPH L900, 4.4.2 stock rooted, for the rare occasions I need to tether something. For me, its not worth it to pay to have to have it natively in the phone..as I only use it in emergencies maybe once or twice a year. It is by Fabio Grosso and it IS still present in the google play store for $2.80. BUT the problem for Sprint users is that Sprint BLOCKS this app from their play store. For a while I was able to find this app in the Galaxy app store, but as of now it appears this app is no longer available there.

Sure, you could google it and download it from some god-awful who-knows-what-you-are-really-downloading add-infested APK blog or whatnot but theres an easier solution with much less risk to damaging your lovely Note 2 (which has obviously held out for this long!)

But the best method to download it from the play store is to simply download it and pay for it on another device (theres a number of ways to change the way Play sees your OWN device, but that you can Google yourself :) I had an old ZTE Android phone with 2.0 still on it. Because it is not a Sprint device, the app shows up on that phone's play store....

1) Go to the play store in the non-sprint device. Purchase the app and pay for it WITH THE GOOGLE ACCOUNT YOU INTEND TO USE ON YOUR NOTE 2. This is big. You have to use the same account! Borrow from a friend, or use the old phone in your drawer. It'll take 2 minutes. Legacy Android phones are everywhere.. even available for next to nothing on Ebay!

2) Once its paid for on your alternate device, go back to your Sprint Note 2. Go into the play store on the account you just purchased your Wifi Tether Router app. Click on Apps.. Go to your My Account section. A list for INTALLED APPS and a list for ALL. Click on ALL APPS. This shows all apps ever downloaded with that account. Wifi Tether Router will now show up in your ALL APPS List. Because you downloaded it with this same account, Google will allow you to download the normally blocked Sprint app to your phone (for the time being this is true, but who knows if they will ever disallow this in the future).

I also like this method because you still purchased it from the Play store and will still receive updates for the app. If you install it unattached to the Play store, this would not happen. Just remember to use this responsibly.. happy tethering :)

Hey everyone! I've got T-Mobile and I'm debating whether I should buy an AT&T Lumia 920 but I don't know if the same thing is going to happen like with the Lumia 900, No codes until after 6 months. So instead of investing in the phone I'm not sure is going to work, I can invest in your phone to see if there is an unlock available for it. If you have an AT&T Nokia Lumia 920 message me and I will pay for an unlock from cellunlocker . net . So I could see if unlocks are available for the AT&T phones. So you help me figure out if we can unlock these and you get your phone unlocked free! If you're interested message me with your IMEI. AT&T phones only.
[Nokia Lumia 920] detox8907:
Seriously no one wants an unlock? I'm dying to know if the AT&T Lumias can be unlocked :-S
[Nokia Lumia 920] liqn7:
They can't be. Not for 6 months.

Numerous people have tried. Please read the threads above and below yours before posting.
[Nokia Lumia 920] driftnut56:
Rogers will unlock their model for 50$. Don't think that'll help you though.

---------- Post added at 03:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:48 AM ----------

I know the Rogers model works on WIND which means it'll also work on T-Mobile.
[Nokia Lumia 920] taiger78:
Hello I actually bought a Lumia 920 last Thursday(15.11) from AT&T they told me that it can be unlocked but I'm still waiting to get the unlock code.

I told them that if It can't be unlocked I will return it and they said that is ok, so lets see after some days if its possible or not.
[Nokia Lumia 920] HB_Mosh:
Well i have two Nokia Lumia 920, and i need to unlock them too. Sign me up.
[Nokia Lumia 920] igorpaes:
Hi, someone can tell me what I need to do to buy a lumia 920 on AT&T? I'm from Brazil and will go to NY november 20.
[Nokia Lumia 920] sonkiomi:
Hey man, I'm VERY interested. Check your inbox for my IMEI.
[Nokia Lumia 920] taiger78:
Nothing specific I only walked in and told them I want to buy a Lumia 920, And I want to be able to use it with an other operator as I'm not from the USA. And they told me no problem. But lets see if I get any unlock codes from them, in the unlock e-mail I got it was written it will take 5 - 7 business day to get the unlock codes.
[Nokia Lumia 920] detox8907:
I was definitely serious. I got two responses. So I went with who sent me a request first but.... OH MY GOD!!! ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS!!!!!!

They've gotta be joking! I was expecting it to be 40 tops.

That's cellunlocker.net.

Does anyone know somewhere else offering AT&T codes?
[Nokia Lumia 920] HB_Mosh:
I got in touch with the over on This Link, and told it can be done in 24 hours or 7 days, but they guarantee it works.
[Nokia Lumia 920] detox8907:
Thanks, I'll try them later on today and I also saw one on freenokia.org but it's 40 euros. If these guys don't work I'm gonna try freenokia.org.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Montastic:
Hey Guys,

Any update on the unlocking situation?
[Nokia Lumia 920] sonkiomi:
I hope I'm the one you chose, lol
[Nokia Lumia 920] coolgamer512:
Expansys has some AT&T 920s unlocked and in stock for $620 a piece. I might pick one up myself.

I don't have enough posts yet, so its's at expansys-usa[dot com]/s.aspx?search=nokia%20lumia%20920
[Nokia Lumia 920] iHypnos:
Interesting.

I'm wondering if they have not just screwed this one up as there is also a listing for an (Unlocked) Lumia 920 @ $794. Obviously a non-AT&T one.

Still I'm going to chuck down an order and send them a message asking to confirm this is actually unlocked.
[Nokia Lumia 920] FxBeast:
Please let us know if you hear back from them. I'll buy one if it's really unlocked!
[Nokia Lumia 920] Deleted member 2842059:
I haven't purchased a 920 yet. I probably won't, I'll pass on WP if I cannot find a Dev 920 or an unlocked non-ATT branded version. And I'm on ATT, such is my hatred for branding and gimping.
[Nokia Lumia 920] iHypnos:
Small update if anybody is interested. Got a reply from expansys regarding my order;

Take it with a grain of salt but they're digging themselves a pretty big hole if this proves to be incorrect.

The downside is they do not expect my order to ship out till 10th December:crying:
[Nokia Lumia 920] FxBeast:
Did they tell you it won't ship till the 10th? The website says "Usually ships in 8 days", yesterday it said "9 days", wonder what that means. I placed my order and tried to get in touch with them on the phone, but I guess they're not taking calls Thanksgiving weekend.
[Nokia Lumia 920] taiger78:
Sadly i can now announce that I got a negative answer from at&t. They are now saying that Nokia is not allowing them to unlock this device (Personally I think it is at&t that is blocking). So i returned mine and got my money back. Will probably go out and by it when its comes to the store here in Finland (like today) and then it is unlocked. The downside with that is only the price its about 250€ more expensive in Finland compared to USA.
[Nokia Lumia 920] iHypnos:
They told me the stock would be arriving in the warehouse on the 10th of December. My order page lists ETA 15 days.

Had to jump though a few hoops as they wanted me to use the .au website.

If you can call them and get a verbal confirmation please report back. Calling from Australia is a pain in the ass given timezones.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Puff1911:
Yeaaah.. i called AT&T as well.. they said they didn't find an unlock code in the system and the girl created a case for me so they would look into it.

I asked her to reply via email as the handset was locked and I had no way of receiving a phone call (trying to gain some sympathy)

Didn't work..

An hour later I received an email saying that the phone could not be unlocked for one or more of the following reasons.

•Completed a minimum of ninety (90) days of active service with AT&T Mobility.

•The account is in good standing and payments are current at the time of the request.

•The device does not have a long-term exclusive sales arrangement or any period of exclusivity associated with the device has expired.

•No more than five unlock codes per year are permitted.

•Prepaid/GoPhone customers: ◦Completed a minimum of 6 months of service.

◦If less than 6 months of service, provided a copy of the sales receipt or other proof of purchase of the device.

Soo... that's failed...

Anyone found any sites that can unlock the phone.. and NOT for $999.99!!

I emailed cellunlocker(dot)net and they said that they currently can't unlock the phones and to check back with them in a few days.

I'll let you know how that goes.

cellunlock.net advertises they can unlock it.. Link shown..

but I haven't seen anyone confirm that yet. Has anyone tried them?

[Nokia Lumia 920] FxBeast:
My order still shows up as not processed, but it does say "ship in 8 days". I will call Expansys on Monday to ask about the ship date and to confirm it's really unlocked. Will let you all know how it goes.
[Nokia Lumia 920] nhatkhoa:
The at&t Nokia lumia 920 can unlock now

The unlock code is $50 . You must wait 5-7 days for the code. In my case, It's take 6 days

You can buy code in eBay . Here is the link :

I am gonna try the GSM Fast unlock, it's $50. Will report back in a few days.
[Nokia Lumia 920] sonkiomi:
Please keep us updated. I've personally purchased the Cilianunlock.com unlock, and i'm waiting on my code over the next few days.

As soon as I get my code (or refund possibly :( ) I'll let you know
[Nokia Lumia 920] Puff1911:
GSMFAST says 0-10min delivery... just put through my order..

will report back in 10 mins!

10mins later.. no code yet..

will let you know when it does show up!

or if it never does!
[Nokia Lumia 920] creamhackered:
On the actual unlock they claim 1-10 days, so I think you'll be waiting a while.
[Nokia Lumia 920] FxBeast:
They told me via email that the phone is supposed to be unlocked, but that they won't know for sure till they get it and test it. It's supposed to be delivered to them this week or early next week. I cancelled my order though, I think I'll be getting a GS3 or maybe a Nexus4. As much as I love Nokia, I don't think this phone (and Windows Phone 8) is ready for primetime, too many people are having issues.
[Nokia Lumia 920] xtian63:
if anyone wants to give it a shot PM me you IMEI number and well try to feed it to the SERVER and see if we can get the unlock codes, i dont have a LUMIA 920 yet but a friend of mine is offering unlock service for $30-$40, he asked me for an IMEI so he could see if its unlockable but since i dnt have a Lumia 920 yet i cant give him an IMEI, if anyone is willing to trust me with just checking for the Unlock code PM me, i know you dont know me and im dying to get my hands on an unlock ATT lumia 920 but i can only but as soon as January 2013
[Nokia Lumia 920] Puff1911:
actually all they have 1-10.. doesn't say days or mins..

they have 0-10mins above everything.. it is probably there to entice u.. get you excited lol :)
[Nokia Lumia 920] sonkiomi:
Well, considering this thing is a paperwieght until I get it unlocked, here goes nothing. I pm'd you my IMEI. Check your inbox.

Cheers.
[Nokia Lumia 920] detox8907:
I'm waiting on a code from cilian but it looks like they're not gonna come through... I already bought myself the lumia 810 for T-Mobile. It's sweet but it's not 8X or 920.... I'm not leaving Nokia though... :)
[Nokia Lumia 920] creamhackered:
If you read the options properly you'll see not "everything" has 0-10 mins. It's days, not minutes.
[Nokia Lumia 920] sonkiomi:
I'm waiting on a code from them too, but what makes you say that? I was told 5-10 days. It's only been three at this point so i'm cautiously optimistic.
[Nokia Lumia 920] detox8907:
I say that because it's been 7 business days. I don't think they celebrate Thanksgiving.... so time is almost up. Hopefully I do get it though.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Puff1911:
exactly why they shouldn't have

"Delivery Time: 0-10 mins"

I emailed them about it and they said they asked the site developer to remove it, he just hasn't gotten around to it. And apologized for it.

So kudos to them..

Hopefully they can get through with the unlock! :)
[Nokia Lumia 920] iHypnos:
Thanks for the update, I have one of my own.

Got another reply from Expansys, Looks like they have changed their tune;

Note how they don't take responsibility for advertising the device as unlocked nor that fact that when questioned earlier I was told in no uncertain terms the device was definitely unlocked.

I was expecting this, I'm just pissed the email implies I was the incorrect party. Take some damn responsibility. Hell the website still lists Unlocked.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Puff1911:
72 hours later.. still no result from GSMFAST.net..

now i'm concerned about their "satisfaction guaranteed" statement..i'm already starting to feel dissatisfied.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Puff1911:

i didn't consider that.. been trying focusing so much on finding an unlock option!
