One of the best benefits of rooting your HTC Evo 3D is that you can get free wifi tethering mobile hotspot without paying the additional $20-30 to Sprint for the same internet access you’ve already paid for.
You can get an “experimental” version of Android WiFi Tethering app to get free wifi tethering.
First, make sure you’ve perma-temp rooted your HTC Evo 3D.
Second, download the experimental version here: (Important, only this version works so far!)

Then install the apk file using a file browser such as AndroZip.
Once installed, run the Android WiFi Tether, goto Settings, and make sure “Routing fix” is check ON!
Once that’s done, you should be able to connect multiple devices such as your computer, laptop, PS3, etc…etc… and enjoy the free wifi tether on your HTC Evo 3D!

Download it from your phone eventually it will download. I posted a longer reply in the permaroot page hope it helps.
I followed the directions exactly as you posted them in both videos and when I open the app I get a pop up that says ‘sorry, but your kernel does not have all the necessary features for running this application’ and I have the options to ignore or exit the app. When I ignore I get a pop up that says ‘binary and con fig files installed’. I don’t what to do to make this work.
Did you get past your above error?
Mike do you know how to fix the error?
Yes, do the perma temp root over. for the errors on starting up the WIFI conncetion. provided you have the indicated WIFI file.
HELP
I get an internet connection that lasts a few seconds then poof. or maybe it was pre cached pages on my browser and never got anything. NO I did, yeah. I conncected my old EVO via wifi and same problem as my laptop. (even though my HP has a chipset lan that fought all the time with my EVO 4G.
Is it a DNS glitch. seems like it can’t go anywhere then times out.
I guess i should try pinging a website huh. Ok I only pinged Google. I used IP6 #’ s and IP4 #’s I the first packet got timed out the first few times but then i got clean returns for both.
Any Ideas? Not really a techie. just a poser. LOL
Make sure you are connected to the phone, did your phone buzz when your computer connected? If not, you might want to restart the computer and try connecting again.

This seems to be a problem with a lot of people and not just me.
FYI, I tether on 3g and not 4G
Yeah, I can surf smoothly on 4G as well…. But 4G is not everywhere… I need to find a way to get the 3g to work… My Xoom is desperately needing this function… And my last resort is to get the hotspot feature. HTC try surfing like ESPN or something with 4G turned off… Using the basic connection…. I’ve been reading around and people are desperately looking for a solution… HTC Ur the man, so hopefully when u gets chance u can check it out

Has anyone figured out how to get the 3g working with the root? I can only get google sites to work on the computer, I’ve tried changing settings and other stuff and yet I’ve to get a different answer

my phone is rooted and I have installed the wifi tether file. The computer connects but with limited access. I did a troubleshooting test and it came back with a DNS problem. What do I do, I looked at the DNS on the phone evo 3D, and it had dns 8.8.8.8.
Try turning the app off and on couple times and make sure HTC Fix is checked on.
I am able to connect and my phone sees my computer but my computer just hangs. I can’t go to any websites.

What can I do?
I finally figure out how to get both 4 g and 3g tethering to work. for 4g you can just use the wifi tether software to get 3g do work disable the wifi tethering and dowload the barnacle wifi tethering and that will work on 3 g. b sure to create a SSID FOR BOTH TETHRRING software.
I still can’t get both to work. It keeps saying said already in use. How do I create one for each applation
Ssid already in use***
change you ssid to something else…like “gfree”, SSID is something you name yourself, it is your network name
james b!!! That is awesome barnacle works, just pulled up facebook on 3g using it. THANKS BRO.
Like most of you I couldn’t get the tethering to work after rooting my phone. Then I noticed at the end of the video the HACKS guy was talking about this new rom he had installed and really liked.
TweakedSynergy ROM for HTC Evo 3D! [3800+ Quadrant]
https://htcevohacks.com/category/htc-evo-3d-custom-roms/
Once I installed that my tether worked perfectly 3g or 4g.
Thanks hacks for lessons on rooting.
trying to root an evo 3d i get the unlock code from htc and it says its good but never get the unlock bootloader to come up on phone?
can this work if im on hboot 1.50????
Same problem as everyone else. After I connect, I can only go to google sites. Everything else just hangs and never goes to the actual page. Help!
Hello is there any way i can use this wifi tehter without turing on 4G (only works when 4g is on), I live outside the states so here there are no 4G networks with Wimax tha means for my CDMA HTC Evo 3D 4G doesnst work here onlyt 3G but decent speed , only 4G working here is via GSM so just wondering how can i use the wifi tether w/o turning on 4G for battery save issues, if i got 4G on works perfectly tho
TY
I got mind Evo 3d working really well by followed the instruction posted in his youtube. The problem is the connection is really suck it is not worst the time. I did speedtest between 10 KBPS to 50 KBPS
i have downloaded all the stuff and instilled it and still can not get the wifi to work on my evo 3d any help???
I cant get mine to work also, any help please
Might want to edit that video and Delete the Porn movies ?? Just Saying……
Thank You! Yes, it does work on 1.50, i just did it myself, works excellent! Keep up the good work and again, thank you.
The latest version on android-wifi-tether.com has a profile for the Evo 3D. It is version 3.1 Beta 11. Download it from their site. The version provided in the video did not work for me. This version did. I tethered my Windows 7 laptop and my HP Touchpad easily. You still have to check off the Routing Fix as in the video above. I changed the Profile from Auto to Evo 3D but don’t know if it is necessary. If the profile is there, may as well select it rather than letting that app figure it out.
BTW, I love the part in the video where you start laughing at all the naughty-america videos on your phone listed right above the WIFI tether download!! Since I know what that is, I ain’t throwing rocks.
i was having a hard time with this, i followed everything but 4g wouldnt tether only 3g.
i uninstalled and downloaded the beta .. same thing dam!
oh wait! i read how bob-c changed profile to evo 3d, wow worked like a charm!! Awesome!
thanks, the rest of you guys should give this fix a try now i have 4g working yay! now im scared if i change roms ill crew this up somehow! 🙁
Heck yeah, so easy to install and works Perfectly. Thanks Man, you rock!!!
It took a little time and some careful typing but, the end result is that it works. The wifi does seem to be limited to data only so far. Any ideas on how to open it up to more?
HELP PLEASE…i followed ALL steps but when I click on the open after I installed wifi tether it states “NO ROOT” YOUR KERNELS DOES NOT HAVE ALL THE NECESSARY FEATURES FOR RUNNING THIS APPLICATION….Please help
Did you actually root your phone before doing this. If not, that is the first step.
Sup Hack Guy,
I’ve been using your instruction videos religiously and they’re GREAT! However, I’m having a problem with my 4g tethering. I’ve read the posts but I’m not sure how to implement their instructions. I’m using “WiFi Tether” and it works well with my Evo3d but it’s not working for 4g anymore. Worked when I first installed it but not anymore. Can you please me out with the problem bud? Thanks.
Excuse me, my 3g works but not 4g.
There are apps for this like “Hotspot App”
