I have a noob question, how do I install wifi tether? I downloaded the one from the market but it doesn't work, I know flipz uses the g1 version. Where can I download that from and how do I install it? Thank you
Have you rooted your phone yet? Most custom roms will have wifi tether installed for you

I have the latest build of Android 2.1 for Sprint hero and I wanted to know if it can be rooted. I dropped down to the .5 build but my gps wouldnt work and a few other things wouldn't work. I mostly just want wireless tethering but I need to root my phone but I don't want to lose any functionality. Anyone have any advice for me?

Did you tried this you device http://unrevoked.com/m/ ?
Download the APP, then run it.
I just used that app and I don't think It worked. I have the wireless tether 2.0.5-pre3 and when I try to run it it says my kernel
Doesn't have all the necessary features to run the app. Am I using the wrong WiFi tether app?

There is no method for obtaining root with that version. You have to flash the 2.27.651.5 RUU and then use the link provided earlier. Once you have root then you can install one of the 2.27.651.6 ROMs if you want.
I did it using this. Went through a lot of other "solutions" first, but they didn't apply to my phone/build apparently. This worked perfectly!
and apparently I'm to new to post to "external" links, even though it's elsewhere on this site.

You'll need a custom kernel/ROM on your phone for wireless tether to run properly.
I want to tether without adding a tethering plan being that I have unlimited data on my Captivate. Do I have to root to do this because I just updated to 2.2 and had unrooted.
Yep, you have to root. Then all you need to do is install TiBackup and use it to either freeze or remove "tethering manager".
That is all there is to it!

Thank you for responding I guess I am off to root once again lol
You could also try a custom ROM, almost all have wifi and USB tethering built in.
I couldn't ever get tethering to work on stock eclair. I gave up after a few days and have been flashing ROMs since.

I never tried the tethering on 2.1 but it works fine on 2.2.

= Rooting anyway to install Custom ROM.
Once you root on stock 2.2 you will also need to remove or rename the Tethermanager APK in the system folder as well.
I never froze or removed the tether manager & my wireless tether works fine. They can't tell if I am using it can they?

Are you using the built-in Mobile AP (wifi hotspot) to do wireless tethering? And are you runing the official 2.2 UCKB1 ROM? If so, I don't know how your will be able to make it work without actually paying for the tethering plan. The job of Tethering Manager is to contact AT&T and verify if you have paid for tethering plan on your account.

I don't think so...all you need to do is freeze the tethering manager process

I used this post to get my tether on, but now devices will appear to connect yet won't connect to the internet. Is there any known reason this would stop working all the sudden? I saw a post on a Vibrant thread that said they had issues with mobile ap. Any like experiences on Captivate?

Those 2 guides show you how to root your phone very very very simple. The youtube is the visual guide and the second one is just reading guide...
Root n install barnacle
Why not just root, open BL, flash custom kernel (nAa-13), flash custom rom (MiniCM7). If I'm not wrong then there is a bug with many roms, when screen turnes off then WiFi tether stops...
Btw easiest way to root is with flashtool..

For me just root and barnacle is not enough. It still doesn't work.
Do I need to change ROM and,or kernel???
I'm actually with stock kernel and ginger dx 028b.
Thanks for any help!

I can't remember but you need to have ip tables if your on stock kernel.

Could you be more clear on this? Doesn't work like what?
I've tried it once, it works. Only need rooted phone and barnacle
*Sorry for my bad english
YES, Barnacle works fine with GingerDX v028b BUT only how ADHOC Hotspot (no infrastructure) so you can not connect to it many devices like Kindle Reader, Wii, etc. which don't implement the ad-hoc access...
Actually I'm using my GingerDXv28b+Alf8a+Addons007 with Barnacle to get internett access to my notebook connected in adhoc hotspot to X8 and all works very fine.
Thanks all for the great help in advance !
I need that to give my new Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0" the connection. Just that.

No, it doesn work.
Barnacle says it's creating the network but the tablet can't find any network.

I have the doubt can be kernel-related. it's all the morning i'm trying to put Alf kernel instead of the default one, but I cannot succeed that...

definetely solved my problem
I flashed alf kernel and HDPrime rom and everything started working
Now I have a great hotspot.
Unfortunately HDPrime rom is not as good as GingerDX (i.e. brightness control is not working plus something else)...but pretty fast and for the moment I can deal with it.
So thanks everybody for the help, I'll try other rom's in a future hoping to find the "complete" one.
I've been looking thru every forum i can find but haven't seen an answer. My question is whether I can tether my phone without having to flash generic T firmware.

Thanks! I was hoping not to get a tethering play from AT&T. I don't really use up all my data (Maybe 1GB tops with tethering) while using my iPhone but since I'm switching over to the Xperia TL I was hoping to do the same.
Is there still no way to bypass the tether block?

lt30at (JB) rooted and wifi tether
Hi guys,
I rooted my lt30at in JB (4.1.2) with the software:
Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v36.zip
I chose the option 4 and follow the instructions. I had to install before the JDK and the android SDK. Additionally check the device have the developer options enabled.
About the WIFI tethering I installed the apk:
wifi_tether_v3_3-beta2.apk
and configure the following settings:
-Device profile:
Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)
-Setup method
Netd-Ndc
-Wifi-driver reload
-Routing fix
and now is working
UPDATE: in order to speed up the donwload, do the following:
-Install this app from PLAY
app quarantine
-and freeze this service
tether-entitle-service
after this i got a download speed of 18MB.
Best Regards,
julian8c
