Have you read the notes for tetherbot? I didn't see that on the Market, so can't verify, but every other tether-related app requires root access.
Its not on the market its an outside app on all the guides I have read they do not say u have to root

please, so is my HTC magic rooted or still unrooted? i want it to be rooted so that i can install "bluex" which is an application for bluetooth tethering. please help me seniors!
Type in adb root
If it returns that adb is already running in root, then you're rooted.

or try to install any programme which requires root. Try Tether WiFi. Or Tether Bluetooth.

OR... Since I see what you're trying to do, you could go a little more out of your way and install cyanogen 4.0.4 stable version, which already has WiFi tether.
I found that Bluex doesn't really work great with Cyanogen mod though, like, with my stock ROM (rooted of course) I could set-up a PAN between my computer and the phone. Once you activate the server in Bluex, the bluetooth PAN service appears on the device services when it's connected to the computer.
With Cyanogen mod, this won't work, but you will have a built in wireless tether which works great. You start it, and then your computer sees the new wireless network to connect to. The downside is, the network is unsecured, but on the other hand you have the control (on your phone) which devices you will let connect.
Hope this helps!
S.
EDIT: Just realized you are looking for bluetooth tethering, but again, not sure how that will work with Cyanogen mod.. I couldn't make it happen, so I turned to wireless...
Alright, so after my first post's help was to buy an unlock online.. I did!

If you search the forum, you will find instructions on how to use WIFI rather than a data connection to get past the GMail sign in screen(s).

Make sure that you have the drivers from HTC Sync on your PC and also make sure that usb debugging is turned on.
Not sure if that will help, but I just used fresh kitchen to root a friends phone and it worked perfect.

htc sync installed and debugging on , the pretest on the help page seems to pass and says that it sees a valid adb device, other programs can see the phone and access it with out trouble. Not sure what exactly is going on might be I am in a virtual pc enviroment and attached the andriod phone device in the virtual pc enviroment I just flashed a friends to 2.1 offical did not have a problem with it but I am just not sure about what to do now.
So, I was trying to root my phone again,(I had unrooted it to get it fixed) but for some reason, my compuer(running windows 7) is not recognizing my phone in CMD. It does not show up at all in ADB Devices. I've tried restarting the computer, restarting the phone, doing a hard reset, and nothing seems to work! I really need to get this done before i leave for the weekend. (not that im being pushy, or saying HELP ME NOW, or anything, just, please... anyone that can help me, let me know what to do asap.
I had CyanogenMod 6 running, if that matters.

There are some issues with the adb drivers working on win7.... take the vista drivers and install them manually. If you Google it you find info on how to manually install them.
Ill post more later.

Yesterday I rooted my phone with no hiccups, everything went fine and now have a rooted AT&T HTC One. The only thing is the program I used to root created my backup of my apps/settings/messages/contacts/etc. to my macbook as a backup.db file. When attempting to restore my device with said backup.db file I receive a message something along the lines of, "adb server out of date" and it will not let me restore. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Quit out of terminal and try again? That has worked for me every time so far.
