Aloha,
FreeWELL/tekahuna
I had to uninstall then re-install, now it works great! Nice job!!!
I looked through the apps settings, is there any way to choose Infrastructure mode or does it just do it automatically? Thanks.
I went from PDAnet to this, and my speed just about doubled based on the tests done at speedtest.net
NO DICE ApeX 1.3.1
Couldn't get AP mode to start no matter what I did after deleting the Apex one out of /system/app
I reinstalled, cleared data, and I get a message:
No Access Control!
Sorry, but your kernel does not have all necessary features for the Access Control feature of this application. Access Control will be disabled.

I'm not sure what Access Control is.
I can test to see if it uses Infrastructure Mode later tonight.
Regarding the error:
Using GummyJar 2.5
Android Version:
2.2.1
Kernel Version:
2.6.32.9-g55626e1
[email protected] #1
SBF'd and OTA updated last night before installing the ROM.
I should mention, it appears to work otherwise, but again, I will check later. My laptop (corporate assigned) cannot connect to AdHoc networks, so this would be amazing to get working.
+1 EtherBoo. Same exact error, ROM and Kernel version.
kernel not supported
I get the same Sorry, but your kernel does not have all necessary features for the Access Control feature of this application. Access Control will be disabled.. Android 2.2.1 Apex 1.3.1

Well, yes ... you guys get a message that "access control" is disabled because of a missing kernel-feature. "CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_MAC" is missing!
See: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/wiki/FAQ
So yes, "access control" is unavailable for your devices.
But what do you get instead:
1) Infrastructure mode - your phone acts like "a real" accesspoint!
2) Strong WPA-encryption instead hacked-in-seconds WEP-encryption.
Your choice!
BTW ... if you want the access-control back install a custom kernel (if possible) which has above option/feature enabeld. Also include CONFIG_PROC_FS, CONFIG_IKCONFIG, and CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PRO so that the phone dumps the kernel-config to /proc/config.gz and the app will be able to detect it correctly!
Custom Kernels are not possible on the X, and most likely won't be, since it doesn't look like anyone with the know-how is still working on hacking the locked boot loader.
This is my last Moto product because of it (even though the Atrix is making me wet my pants).
I was mistaken, it is using Infrastructure mode. As I mentioned, I wasn't able to test at the time, and thought Access Control was Infrastructure Mode.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
And who cares about Access Control? It's not necessary now that we have strong WPA/WPA2 encryption, and of course a true AP with the Droid X and Droid 2.
Besides, I believe Access control relies on the MAC Address which can be easily spoofed since it's sent as plain text. You guys rock!!!
My wife just got a D2 Global. I have a DX and I am trying to get her a wireless tether setup. I also ket the same kernel message. Has anybody had luck with the 3G hot spot? I could use some help! Thanks.

You do understand that the "error" message has nothing to do with the normal usage of the program. It will work just fine even if you get that error. You just cannot use the "Access Control" portion of the program which was a way to limit the devices that could connect to the phone. However, as stated by other members, you don't need access control at all. Just use WPA encryption and a strong password. This is a more secure connection than using WEP and access control.
Thanks for the heads up
Do I need to turn 3g mobile hotspot on for wireless tether to work? I see the network on my laptop, but keeps saying it can't connect. Any tricks? Thanks!

Droid X rooted and Nook Color rooted. Works great! Solves the infrastructure problem Had to uninstall and re-install as directed, but that did the trick. A big thank you!
I'm picking up my phone tomorrow. I was wondering if any of the tethering apps work with or without root on this phone yet. I know the more popular one requires a kernel with netiptables enabled. I'm not sure if the default kernel supports this or not.

I'm sure PDAnet works or you can just change the APN settings to use native hotspots without getting charged.

I got the Barnacle Wifi tether working without much challenge thanks to the Devs in the other threads. Could not install it from the AppBrain market but was able to follow the links to download the APK and install it from the internal sd card. Tried to get the widget to donate too,but could not do so from the market place.

Me either, this is my first Android phone. I did a search for wifi hotspot in the AppBrain market and it came up. My limited test with it was good. Used the APN setup from other threads and rooted the phone, also described elsewhere. Then downloaded the APK and installed it. A fairly straight forward process.
Problem with PDANet is the huge cost when I'd only really use the feature when traveling. How is barnacle wifi? Does it support encryption?
I am using a basic WEP key, not sure what you want out of the encryption. Better to check developers web site, I know there are some challenges but it is a little out of my league without spending a long time reading about it.
Well WEP/WPA/WPA2 type of encryption so someone doesn't steal my limited data. Does it support WPA/2 by the way? WEP is pretty easily cracked these days, but it is better than nothing at all.
This may be common knowledge, and if so I apologize, but I thought it might help someone else out.
Since we are waiting for Root, the only way I know to Tether is using the Foxfi app, which requires you to set a secured lockscreen so it can install VPN credentials.
If you are like me and hate having to enter a pin every time you unlock your phone, hundreds of times a day, a great and simple workaround I've discovered is to download and set up the Dislock app (formerly Pebble Locker).
It basically gives your 4.4.x apps the Bluetooth "trusted devices/locations" features of Lollipop. It has the added benefit of being able to override the lockscreen, so you can have Foxfi ready to go and use your basic swipe to unlock.
I use mine with my Moto 360 and my home WiFi so it only asks me for a pin when I want it to.
Hope that helps someone!

I've never used the Dislock app, can you please explain what settings need to be applied to get it to work? Does FoxFi need to be turned on when dislock is on? Thank you.
I tried all sorts of things and couldn't figure it out. So I looked around for another option and this worked for me:
easy way to reset lock screen options
found a fix for getting all lock screen options back.
log into google device manager: www.google.com/android/devicemanager
click on the lock button for your device.
enter a new pass and save.
now go to your phone and use the new pass to unlock the phone.
you should now be able to go to your lock screen settings and pick whichever lock option you need.

Enabled stock tether with help of XPosed Framework and Moto Tether Module.
Tried the straitforward way of just modifying build.prop and moto tether module but wasn't able to get out to the web. Curious to know if all my steps were necessairy. Here is what I did to get it working.
Needed:
Root
SQLLiteEditor
Build.Prof editing ability
XPosed Framework & Module X Tether also known as Moto Tether
Steps:
Edited the following database with SQLLiteEditor.
\data\data\com.android.providers.telephony\databases\telephony.db
Opened carriers
Filter/searched for the word boost for my ignorance here I edit all of them.
Under column 'type' change any that say default,MMS to default,MMS,dun and also change any that say fota,ia to fota,ia,dun
Exit SQLLiteEditor
I rebooted and installed the XPosed Framework with Module X Tether also known as Moto Tether
Changed the Line in the build.prop ro.mot.tether_dun_required=1 to ro.mot.tether_dun_required=0
Rebooted and then it worked.
I did all of the steps listed above. I still cannot get my tablet connected to the internet when I am broadcasting the wifi network via the built in Moto E 2015 tether app. The tablet connects to the network using the password I created for it but will not load any webpages. They all timeout.
The moto E itself does have internet connectivity when tethering and when not.
Please help if possible!
Thanks

The exact same thing happen to me while I was tinkering to get this working. I thought it should be working and wasn't, that's why I thought the order had something to do with it and posted mostly for me to remember what I had done. I tried everything, pinged gateways, static IP address on my tablet, you name it, to try to determine why it didn't work. Double checked for dumbthumb.
My setup, stock firmware that came with the phone, unlocked and rooted, running TWRP for what it's worth. I have in the past disabled some nobrainer bloat and even uninstalled or disabled some of the Motorola software. Maybe I missed something i did that was silly between steps too but, nothing huge I think.
You are the only one who reported back so far that tried. Wish there were at least someone reporting success with feedback.
I just tested my tablet and it still works DHCP, nothing special on the tablet side. If i get a hot moment, I'll go back to stock and re-do the process to see if I yield other results but, for now I recommend trying again, clear cache's and normal Android type stuff. Double check that XPosed and everything is working, rebooted etc..

No misconception. I got this working with XPosed Framework for Lollypop enabled and working, with Module Moto Tether installed and enabled. There really weren't any settings for Moto Tether other than having it enabled in Xposed.
Good luck.
I have still been unable to find the right mix of settings to get my Boost Mobile Moto E 4G to become a hotspot using Wireless Tether (code. google.com/p/wifi-tether-treve-mod/downloads/list).
Can anyone help out and let me know how to get this to work???
Many many thanks.

Okay... I see some more potential confusion. The xposed framework module download is called x tether. There module after installation is called Moto Tether. Sorry if there was confusion. I'm on boost Mobile and its working.
Installed exposed and the x feather and modified the build prop, still can't get this to work. Do I need to do what the OP listed also?

I did do all of that as you listed in the OP. I was unable to get internet connectivity through tethering. It would only create the hotspot but didn't provide internet connectivity itself.

Great Job BRO..It worked for me great
I recently acquired a Sprint-Prepaid branded moto e lte/2015/xt1526 and activated with no problem on RingPlus. I have LTE data on the phone no problem.
But I can't share via the WiFi hotspot. So I rooted, etc, etc, and tried the two build.prop tweaks suggested here. Still no joy.
I guess the phone's code has been updated to ignore those build.prop settings that make it all too easy to turn on Wifi-tethering.
Guess I'll try hacking telephony.db next, since running as either root or userid radio and invoking the APN settings editor via the am command yields a message that APN editing is not allowed for "this user".....
Any other bright ideas?

Do you have one of the Ring Plus plans that allow tethering?
If you can get stock working I would be interested in the steps needed.
If not, you should be able to use WiFi Tether Router - $2.80 from the play store and requires root.
OKAY. Thanks. I tried several other apps with similar names but genuine "WiFi Tether Router" for $2.80 seems to be working fine now on my xt1526 on Ringplus (Sprint)
I just carefully followed the config directions for Xt1526 and Sprint on the developer's webpages. (The out-of-the-box defaults do not work and I required a reboot to continue...)
(I would have paid more for this!)
Hooray. I won't confess how many hours I spent today trying various hacks. I learned a bit about adb and android. But not nearly enough. And oh by the way - I have been a professional Linux/C++/Java systems programmer/hacker for the last 10+ years. Haven't learned all the ins and outs of Android, since it's so darned easy to just download an app... Actually I use my Android Tablet, wifi Tethered to my phone, ssh'ing back to my computer at home (JuiceSSH highly recommended too!) to get my work done while waiting for the kids or wife at the mall...
I was using another phone on another carrier which only required a simple APN add the ",dun" string/edit to get that working -- but I couldn't pass up the practically free plans that Ringplus is offering...
My xt1526 is "stock" EXCEPT, I did the Moto unlock the bootloaders thing and "rooted" by fastbook/flashing a TWRP recovery image, also from this XDA board, of course.

How did you edit the build.prop without root on the VZW Moto E? Or is this only for first gen Moto? I have VZW Moto E 2nd gen, android 5.1, activated with my postpaid sim.
thanks for any advice!

I have a rooted Sprint pre-paid xt1526 comes with a stock Boost mobile firmware on a Ring+ plan with no tethering. Hotspot functionality is there and I can turn it on. I can connect other devices to it, but traffic doesn't reach to the internet.
I actually only need to modify the iptables every time after reboot to enable forwarding and NAT. Works perfect. "Wifi Tether" app works too, but it is a battery killer.
Tried everything everyone has said and still can't get it working. Device connects to hotspot but isn't allowed internet access. Any ideas?
Some people report that the Native Hotspot was not working for them. It seems like the only thing that actually fixed my Hotspot was deleting the folder ATTEntitle so please share your experiences and carrier. (I have KIW-L24 on AT&T Unlimited). Try removing ATTEntitle folder first and if Hotspot still won't work then try database edits below.
ROOT USERS-
Needed apps: Root Explorer and SQLite editor (paid versions)
*Make a Backup of Honor 5x in TWRP*
Using SQLITE editor app:
1). We will change 2 lines in /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/
In settings.db you go to global and add
tether_dun_required 0
Then go to system (also in settings.db) and add tether_entitlement_check_state 0
2). To edit build.prop use Root Explorer app's "text editor" to add net.tethering.noprovision=true
(build.prop is located in system folder)
Save and exit "text editor"
3). And finally go to system/app and delete ATTEntitle folder. (*If folder does not exist ignore this step*)
Turn phone off and use TWRP to wipe cache
After reboot Hotspot should work!
1a.* Alternatively, you can use adb shell commands(Non-Root):
adb shell settings put global tether_dun_required 0
adb shell settings put system tether_entitlement_check_state 0
1b.* Or using terminal emulated (root):
settings put global tether_dun_required 0
settings put system tether_entitlement_check_state 0
Probably still need to delete entitle folder in system/app or add line to build.prop.
Please report whether this helped anyone or not.

Any android phone I ever had I was able to unlock the Hotspot. The carrier puts something in the Stock rom that checks whether you have paid for the service, but it definetly can be unlocked.
AOSP android has "Native tethering" and even on a stock rom there is a way to take the verification check out. I just forgot how and where it is.(possibly Framework) Does anyone know where that is in Emui?
Here is the AT&T Galaxy S4 Hotspot Mod for stock touchwiz. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2535141 Usually it is baked into ROM as well.
Edit--Can someone who has already downloaded the Emui system for US version Honor 5x upload as a zip? Most likely I can find the file to fix Hotspot. My internet is not so fast.
If that's the case I would like to know as well. Hope something comes out. Still waiting on ROMs for this phone.

I am away from a computer but expect to get one later. (Mine is headed in for repair). I will use new TWRP and ROOT phone. I will try Hotspot but I expect it to still be locked. I f I figure it all out I'll upload the fix for others. May take a while.
Im on cricket/ATT . Rooted and its still locked. I think there are some apps if you have root that enable it. Ill probably just wait until we can flash a fix or custom ROM

Not sure if this makes any difference, but Are you using MicroSIM or NanoSIM card? I have the older microsim and No Hotspot allowed.
It actually checks for Verification. And then denies access. I need to fix this one ASAP. I'm looking through system but find nothing obvious.
In Samsung GS4 I think it was tetheringprovision.Apk and also framework-res.Jar. I'll keep looking though :what:

I have a nanoSim. It's not the SIM, I am sure of that. Have used this same SIM in at least 3 other phones with no issue on WiFi Hotspot. It's only the H5X that I have the issue.
well, i tried about three apps for tethering with root and so far no luck. Does anyone know of a third party tethering app that works on this os. (at least until we have a native solution)

I do not know of a 3rd party as I have never had to use one. I always unlocked Native Android Hotspot or installed a ROM with it unlocked already.
I have been trying to look inside the system for the code or apk responsible for "Checking for Verification" but I can not decompile the framework-res.apk where I suspect the code to be.
I installed the newest sdk and know Apktool works, but it will only work for other apks before 5.0 LP. I get errors every time I try to install the framework-res as all tutorials tell me to do.
I guess when you want to modify system apks you must install the framework-res from system as well. Does anyone have any advice for me or a better program for editing android apks/jar?
No clue on how to use those tools, but read up a little (tiny) amount of the apktool thread: apktool seems like a fun or at least interesting endeavor.

So It turns out I may not need to decompile apk. I now think the problem is in databases. I'm still working on this Hotspot fix. I feel I am closer now.
It is such a pain in my a$$ to have to take SIM card out of my awesome Honor 5x to use my older GS4 to turn on Hotspot when I'm not around true WiFi.lol. Hope to have a fix soon.
Hotspot is the only reason I got this phone. Hope you get it working.... hell I'll even give you a few bucks lol.

I have no idea why it works, but my hotspot worked immediately. On T-Mobile with 10 +year old sim card, that I cut down to fit the nano slot. Which suggests the carrier is the issue. T-Mobile has always been aggressive with hotspot and WiFi calling.

As far as I know they cannot fully block it. The block is within the device in the system. If I simply take my SD card out of Honor 5x and put it in my ATT Galaxy S4 I have working Hotspot. I just checked earlier today.

You can use Sqlite editor from the play store to edit the databases.I'm already looking now to see if I can find it.

I tried SQlite but it gives an error. If you want to edit database (.db) file on Android device I would use asqlitemanager and ashell.
It copies the database from the data/data/ folder in system and opens it in temp folder. I gave up and grabbed my laptop and used Windows program instead. I was looking at data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/telephony.db.
I think I edited wrong line though, because it made the SIM Card unreadable until I restored a backup. I tried changing "auth type" for my carrier (ATT Phone). Of course this did not work. I changed the line from -1 to 1.
I did some reading and saw somewhere that"auth type" uses integer 0-3
0 is for no authentication
1 is for PAP authentication
2 is for CHAP authentication
3 is for CHAP or PAP
But if this is true then why is there a -1 on some carriers?
Here this explains the format of telephony.db a little bit http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/Telephony.Carriers.html
