My Wifi Tether is not firing up correctly after I've updated to 5.1 on Verizon. I am rooted with stock.
I've tried settings from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/how-to-wifi-tether-stock-rooted-moto-x-t2449534
but these settings don't work. It tells me "tether started with errors." Then when I check the log it says the file doesn't exist. I cannot find any wifi networks on my computer after I start it.

Again, I am rooted with stock 5.1 firmware. Anyone had any luck with it?

Did you get a resolution to this? I am having the same problem. I have not yet tried the suggestion above.
Thanks!

Now I have tried it. No success. Have you found success?

Stock, unrooted Moto X on Verizon. Took the OTA to 5.1 and now tether says it's on, but no devices are able to maintain a connection if they are ever actually even able to complete the handshake

Yes, I can't get any devices to even see my wifi is broadcasting. If you find a resolution please return and let us know. I will keep searching but I am probably going to go back to 4.4.4 as everything was fine.

I use WiFi Tether Router and I used the settings for a Moto G and the developer had me check the "hostAPDpatch" option. Problem solved. Wifi is back and I have one less 1st world problem.
