Root Working Wifi Tether!

MykeHawke · Dec 1, 2012

If anyone is looking to get wifi tethering set up, I've found an app that works on the Venice, and it just happens to be free

The app is called "Wifi Tether For Root Users"

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...S5nb29nbGVjb2RlLmFuZHJvaWQud2lmaS50ZXRoZXIiXQ..

Just go into the settings and change the Profile to "LG Optimus S" and that's all you'll need to do. Enjoy!

What version are you using? I tried downloading 3.3-1beta and it isn't working for me. It says it starts tethering but I can never connect to it.

Tried it on my rooted LG 730 venice but it keeps saying disable mms clamping failed? I've tried every method on this (and many other) forums.

Hi guys, I have been searching for an wifi tether app for this phone (LG Venice) for months! I have read just about every thread/forum. None of them worked, so I was like I'm just going to try this on my own. And luckily I succeeded! So here is a working app for FREE! Very simple..
NOTE: You will have to be rooted for this to work! I used the Framaroot app.

Download wifi_tether_v3_3-beta2.apk
https://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/files/wifi_tether_v3_3-beta2.apk

Configure your settings to this:
1. Change Device-Profile to LG Optimus S
2. Change Setup-Method to Auto
3. Check Wifi-Encryption
4. Change Encryption Setup method to Auto
5. Create a passphrase
-When I did this and tried to connect, it wasn't locked (as to asking me to enter password to connect to the phone) it was an open network, so be aware of other users being able to connect even when you set a password. Though I think you can control access under Access Control, but I didn't know how to do that.
6. Change SSID to whatever you want
7. Change Channel to 07 but I think they will all work just fine.
8. Uncheck Mac-Address Spoof (I tried this and it affected the internet on the connected devices)
9. Uncheck Disable Bluetooth
10. *Skip Keep Alive - Connection Checker (You may use this, but it may or may not affect the internet, I haven't tried it.)
11. *Skip Automatic Shutdown Options
12. Change LAN to 192.168.2.0/24
13. Check Routing fix
14. Domain-NAMESERVER should be default so don't worry about changing that
15. Change Client Notification Mode to All Clients
16. Check Disable Wake-Lock

I hope this WORKS for all of you LG Venice users!
If there are any problems just tell me, I will do my best to resolve your issue. Show Thanks!

i guess i forgot to mention this part, but i also used an app from google play called "TetheringFix"...it's only done that to me once or twice with the LG Venice but i've had the same notification about mms clamping...each time i would run "fix tethering" in the TetheringFix app and it was back

...i recently ordered a cheap HTC Evo Design 4g though so not sure I will still be actively working with this but the TrevEMod of WiFiTether is also needed for the way i'm making this work.

no guys i tried all your methods FAILURES you do not have to downgrade to ZV5 from ZV8 to root to get past tether blocks even if your service provider is boost mobile and shows up as sprint b/c boost is sprint or w/e Does Not Matter b/c!!!!!!
:eek:

okay guys i figured it out.... if you have boost mobile like me and dont want to pay a
penny more for tethering b./c the bastards now want you to pay $30 a month and it's limited and
are fustrated w/ this phone... i guess this is sprint ip b/c they block me from registering to
xda .... ALL you have to do if you dont want to pay for tethering for the LZG730zv8 and are
lazy and don't want to pay more than $50 a month or load the lg730zv5 older version ... then

Step 1.) Go to walmart and buy a "onn" or "on" brand usb synch cable it's about $10 even
(i tried every other usb synch cable it DOES NOT work) yes i am telling you need this cable
if you want to proceed to the next step... its a one time fee

Step2.) factory flash your phone clean....

Step3.) go into settings check allow unknown sources, go into development options check allow mock locations and usb debugging

Step4.) download http://download.clockworkmod.com/test/TetherWindowsSetup.msi<<<goes on your Windows PC!!!!!
or download http://download.clockworkmod.com/test/tether-linux.tgz [4] <<<<<goes on your LINUX OS PC !!!!!
or download http://download.clockworkmod.com/test/tether-mac.zip <<<<< goes on your MAC PC !!!

Step5.) download http://download.clockworkmod.com/test/Tether.apk <<<<<goes on your LG730 phone!!!!

step6.) Now you need the drivers for your PC http://tool.xcdn.gdms.lge.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=UW00120120425 << goes on your PC!!
I do not know if lg website detected i was using windows and offered me the drivers for windows.... i only have windows os's

step7.) starting the tether(clockwork) app on your phone..... dont bother trying to download this app on google play or anything they block your ip b/c your not allowed to abuse sprint network ...... only download from links i provided
or cnet http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-tether-your-android-without-root/

step8.) understanding how this program works w/ your onn name brand 4 ft on usb synch cable, well theres alot to describe, ummm i don't want to leave anything out .... once you load the drivers and install the .msi windows program on your computer you need to know what it does and how it will **** w/ your mind... it runs flawlessly for hours little slow but your running on a $45 phone now u can get these off ebay for... your boost mobile monthly plan costs more... so if the clockwork program on your PC says tether not connected don't worry, hit the Stop button go back on your tether app and click the usb thing until it glows Blue then go to your tether application on your PC and hit start... now it should connect if it doesnt click the blue tether button untill it tells you " are you sure you want to disconnect from tethering" then hit the stop button on the tether application on your PC... do that couple times until it connects then do the update depending on your Operating system click the button on the phone app and it will say updating PC... but it likes to say the version of tether application running on your PC is outdated.... don't worry about that .... your tether connection should be closed after and while it's updateing your pc supposably... anyways hit the stop button on your tether application running on your pc and RESTART your phone ... once it's booted up make sure
data is active and start the tether app on your phone dont activate it..... start the tether application on your PC first let it run
then click on the usb thing on the tether app on your phone.... THE TRICK IS to let the application running on your PC turn the app on your phone ON all by itself .... you may have to hit the usb looking thing to start the tether. Thats it..... i CANNOT stress enough guys how important it is that you get this Onn usb sync/charge cable.... i know it's gonna run you like $10 but anything less like a cable i bought for $4.88 will not allow you to tether using clockwork mod ... and who know it may solve a-lot of your rooting problems... like slow sd card mass storage transfer to pc.... well i hope my experience will provide free anywhere internet for potentially $45 unless you wana pay clockwork a $5 for unlimited after 15 day (psss... i'm prolly gonna use less than 30mb so i'm not worried) :rolleyes:
