Your best bet would be to root it, and use WiFi tether for root users :thumbup:
I seem to have it working with a much simpler method:
--Older version of WiFi tether from an old phone(Triumph) *Attached*
==Settings
+Device Profile - Generic ICS\JB (wlan0)
+Setup Method - Auto
+Enable WiFi Encryption(should show as WPA\WPA2-PSK)
--optional?
+SSID - Mine is OptimusF3 ;P
+WiFi Driver reload 2 - ON
Hit back and start tethering with real WPA2 security in AP mode!
Enjoy Responsibly like I do with my beer :beerglass:
which phone u have and what process are u doing?tried the wifi tether, but it didn't work.
it seems to be working, but then I cant seem to see the network on my other devices and sometimes the phone will connect to my wireless network while its supposedly using the wifi for broadcasting...

I attempted the method stated with wifi-tether by entropic with no success. I am on a rooted virgin mobile f3 on sprint network. It starts up fine, but basically does the same thing every other app I have tried does. I get the network started, it shows up in the ssid list of devices I want to connect to it but nothing can get connected. It appears no ip address is being issued to the devices from what I can tell.I seem to have it working with a much simpler method:

For those needing wifi tether. The info in this link seems to offer the most success for the VM phone version.

Much thanks to adam97202
Zero disrespect intended, technically it is hotspot not a tether. Just to clarify for readers.
Tethering worked for me fine from the start, but what I wanted (and the post you pointed out provides) makes the phone a hotspot.
Tethering means the phone is attached to a pc, a hotspot is independent of a pc.
If anyone needs to "usb tether" use clockwork tether.
