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 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?

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

Yea my phone is rooted but I love ic3's rom, with aosp and he doesn't have wifi tether on his rom.
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?

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?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA 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.

Or what they would like to say... "We have a fix for your silly root so we can continue to charge for hot spotting which should be free. Also Lowell only made 7.1 million last year with stock options. How is he to feed his family on that?"
Ungrateful customers... This business would run so much smoother with out you.
Don't see any point in updating due to losing root and because there's no Devs around to even make a ROM for V9.

I don't care about the V9 update and want to keep root on V8. Is there a good way to do that? I remember that freezing the OTA module was one way to do it, but I'm hoping that someone that really knows what is best will offer some advice.
V9 does break root initially but just run the exploit from djrbliss for the LG Esteem and it works fine. Maybe have to re-install certain apps like Root Explorer and SetCPU..

I spoke too soon. My BT was on before freezing update and it stayed on. I just toggled it off and now won't turn on, even in settings. Will try to unfreeze update to try to repeat.
Ok, just defrosted software update, started bluetooth, refroze update, and can use bluetooth without issue.
You may have to keep BT on all the time while having update frozen.

Easy. Open Titanium Backup, Go to "Backup/Restore", Click to edit filters, enter Software Update then Apply. Touch the Software Update app then select Freeze. Done.
Remember to have Bluetooth running before freezing update and don't turn it off. Also, I think you need TB Pro to defrost but you may be able to freeze/defrost with something else like Rom Toolbox.
Thanks dadecamp for posting the method for freezing the OTA updater. I was able to stop it at 87% ;-)
Bluetooth has stopped toggling for me also, but since I never use it I'm OK with that.

WIFI hotspot on CM10 ROM
Folks.. some info to add to the fray..
My WiFi is working, stable and connects every time.
I've also got a working WiFi hot spot (see edit at bottom)
I'm doing this on cute_prince CM10 build 3...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265060
With the instructions from post 1 of the WiFi fix
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49035215&postcount=1
I'm using NOPE v2 kernel 750mhz
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42314934&postcount=1
(I had the WiFi connection problems using prometheus CM10 kernels -I don't know enough to know why the difference with NOPE)
To get a WiFi hotspot - (I saw someones post in the desire c forums -cant remember who or what thread, but thanks!) to try the Barnacle WiFi tether app:
(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.szym.barnacle&hl=en-GB)
- You need to enable "Skip wpa_supplicant" in its settings. It does mean however that the hot spot is an unsecured network... I confirmed the hot spot to work with my windows PC.. will try with my nexus 7 later.
I've got "Keep WiFi on during sleep" set to "never" as i like to turn it on/off as required. It reconnects every time. If i leave the WiFi on and put the phone to sleep (i.e it`ll disconnect the WiFi whilst asleep), the WiFi will reconnect fine every time i wake it up. No rebooting required.
Hopefully this is a solution to peeps who want a usable WiFi, and for any devs trying to solve this issue..
BTW thanks all devs for cooking some nice ROMs and Kernels to keep this little phone going. A few months ago I was ready to bin the desire c and the stock slow sense!
obs
edit- WiFi hotspot works fine with my win 7 pc- i can see and connect to the hotspot, but on my nexus 7 2013 i can't see the hot spot at all
edit 2 - Looks like the issue with the nexus 7 is that android devices are not able to connect to ad-hoc wifi networks which is what the barnacle app creates!

Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy!
not working
Stock rooted, nj7
I have unlimited data, 3gb cap tethering. I get upsell page. But I already used my 3gb before trying this mod. Maybe I'll have to wait for the new billing cycle to confirm this to work but it should've worked if it uses my unlimited data vs tether data? On s4 I had that issue, the new cycle started and what do you know (it work).
Running FireKatv2, also tried adding ,dun to apn and adding a line to some database to tether_dun_required. The wifi tether router works fine, and I have Xposed. I also have Wanam Xposed with "Disable tether provisioning" checked (I've tried it both ways). Doesn't work

uninstall/disable xposed and wanam. best to restore a backup or clean install, flash the mod again and dont touch anything. I have set everything up already! all you have to do is turn tethering on, if you have connectivity issues, click the fast.t-mobile.com APN again (which is default APN anyway) it will reset and then reconnect a device.
Tested working on DynamicKAT 1.2
Sorry, new around here and got redirected here. Will try to get out of probation quickly!
Mod works just as it should on DynamicKAT v1.2.
Also, I believe the "Legal Tethering" note is meant to highlight the fact that Tethering is in fact seen as "Legal" by the Network. We should really start worrying when if it starts saying "Illegal Tethering".
Thanks for the reply. I just moved to hyperdrive and everything works perfect! Thanks again

Did you use foxfi 3rd party with firekat?
Will this work on the Sprint variant?
I followed this guide step-by-step. My tethering data is still being used.
I have a Galaxy Note 4 and am using the stock firmware. I have rooted.
Previously, I had tried using xposed and xtether. I disabled xtether then uninstalled xposed but to no avail.
I have a 5GB tethering cap and now it's at 5/5GB. What am I doing wrong?
I've read in this thread that it's best to start with clean install -- how do I do this? Perform the default system wipe in TWRP?
Does it matter if I'm not on nJ7 firmware I am on the firmware that came on the note 4 the reason I ask is because this tethering mod does not work on my note 4.what is it that I'm doing wrong? Thanks In advance!!!
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app
Just to post an update -
This wasn't working for me before and it still isn't. I tried to start from a "clean installation" like OP suggested and here's how I did it:
Re-flashed with stock firmware
Re-installed root
Re-installed TWRP
Installed this mod
I've maxed out my tether usage and I still get a nice little T-Mobile splash screen when I try to go somewhere online with my laptop (when connected to the hotspot).
What gives?
Edit
---------------
So after reading through every page of the thread it seems that I need a "deodex rom". As I am completely new to all things Android I am currently educating myself on this. I searched OP and didn't see this mentioned although OP did say he needed to add it lol.
Could anyone link me to a recent/relevant guide on how to get a deodex stock rom for my T-Mobile Note 4? I've found a couple but they seem to assume some prerequisite knowledge and I'm not sure how old they are. Just want to make sure I do this right.
Tethering with Sausage Jimmy Dean
Well, since I installed a Deoxed Rom on my Note 4 (T-Mobile) I happily proceeded to tether away, and started dowloading stuff on my ps4 (thinking that its set) Did not know T-Mobile Giives you 3gb to share even if you dont have tethering and I reached my cap... i Flashed and I am Wondering if its to late to have normal speeds again. I have unlimited data, just wanted to know if you reach the cap on sharing will it stay like that until my new cycle starts even if I have unlimited mobile plan.
