Is anyone aware of an app to allow sharing of the phones data connection through WiFi on the HTC Vivid?
Is rooting necessary?
FYI: I'm not interested in AT&T's official data sharing as I'd have to change from my grandfathered unlimited plan.

Frigid released a HTC Supertool ( Now ver 2 ) for Windows

Temp root your vivid and select option 8 ( Wireless Tether Exploit )...if you're successful share with us.
Looking to purchase the Vivid if it works for my scenario (WiFi Router). If I do end up getting this device and test this I will definately share the results.
Thanks for the info!
WIFI Tether does not work
I tried the WIFI Tether and it does not work when I had the Atrix they were able to modify the entitlement check to have hotspot access is this possible with the Vivid. Thanks
I have a htc first that I unlocked so I can use on tmobile, currently on stock rooted rom. I have been able to reliably get wireless tether to work and would like to share what I find so that other people can see if it works. By using the wireless tether app I used to use with my epic 4g touch wireless tether works.
The settings i used were generic wlan0 Jb
mms claming checked
routing fix checked
wifi driver reload checked
The apk is attached.
I know it is an older device but it can be unlocked easily for free and can be purchased on ebay for around 100 in excellent condition. Gets Lte on att not on tmobile but great hspa+ speeds in my area, the only problem I had was wifi tether until i tried this method.
I see there have been quite a few views has this method worked for anyone else?
Resurrecting a zombie thread,
I can confirm the wifitether treve mod above works great, caveat the settings are followed as above post.
I am having some trouble getting tether working. I have tried clockworkmod's wired tether, android-wifi-tether, and Wifi Tether Router. I have also tried to run the "Entitlement Bypass" apk and ISWAT Tether Unlocker which I believe modifies the build.prop.
I have the grandfathered unlimited data plan. Is there anything special everyone else is having to do?

Got it to work! It was a coniguration issue.
Found the 1060 here:

And it worked after that!
Hey guys,
Is it possible to enable tethering without root? When I use the native tethering it just pops up a message that says to go to att.com/mywireless (but there are no options to turn it on there)?
Thanks guys, I need this functionality for work.
I'm on the 15 gig shared data plan and my tethering in available with out root I used to need root but when I changed to this plan it was no longer needed not sure if that was what made it available on my phone or something else. I will check the other phones on the plan and see if they also have tether available and let you know.

Hey, I have the unlimited data plan that comes bundled with direct tv, which I called and does not support tethering. they said I'd have to change to a non-unlimited plan that supports tethering, or get another device that has a data plan that has tethering, but the cheapest plan is 40 dollars a month for 2 gb of data. Does anyone know a way to root the phone (can send me a link) so that I can keep my unlimited plan and still tether? Or know some other option that allows me to keep my unlimited plan and still tether? Thanks!
Not sure of the status of them, but try out PdaNet and FoxFi ... The latter has been removed from the play store by sprint and at&t, but you can find the url in the FoxFi Addon description.
[edit]
Confirmed, pdanet is still a thing. One of the few apps I truly found worth what I paid for it.
Links and details
Tethering is part of the mobile share data plan.

This app works perfectly!! Thank you, NOTHING else works with AT&T's new unlimited plan except for this.
I can confirm Foxfi/PdaNet works via usb, without root. Install Foxfi (paid full version) on your phone and have PDAnet on your pc and attach via usb.

Hi
I am new and I have a question and a answer which probably is not the one you are looking for but you have to start some where to learn like you and me. My question is what is tethering without root. As for tethering I go to settings- connections- mobile hot spot and tethering and turn it on. Hope you don't mind a first day rookie bothering you and hope we can become friends here. Take care.
Someone correct me if I am wrong but rooting your phone will enable full tethering on this new unlimited data deal but it can be detected by att and in some cases att will automatically add a tethering fee to your bill if detected. However it's extremely hard to detect Android phones (and more expensive) so generally att pursues this more on Apple platforms. Just wanted to confirm my own understanding before I switch plans. If true, it's a win win for this community.

no root yet for the s6 active. but anyone interested in tethering i found a work around. dowload klink tether from playstore to run your laptop no root required. the app has simple intructions to get you going. once you have that all done now you can download a hotspot program on your laptop. i use connectify turns it into a hotsot so you will actualy be connecting to the laptop wich is running from your phone works fine. now you have free wireless tether. if anyone noes a easier tether option i would like to no foxfi didnt work for me as it did on other devices im currently running marshmellow on the s6 active
Hey everyone,
I have att unlimited plan for having directv.
As we all know it doesn't come with Hotspot.
So is their a rom that can by pass the apns on that?
Or an app I have to download that requires root?
Thanks so much.
I have been looking for feedback on this also
Have you tried foxfi or pdanet+ which has enabled tethering before.
