Excuse me if this has already been presented in another thread, but I have not been able to find an answer to the following question.
I have a rooted htc hero with NFX-sprint Stock 2.32.651.2.ODEX.A2sd rom.
I am trying desperately to tether the bluetooth with my new honeycomb Xoom Wifi only with Wireless Tether.
I am able to get the Wireless Tether App to work, but I cannot get the Xoom Wifi only to give me a tethering option.
Has anybody with a rooted hero got the Xoom Wifi only version to tether with their HTC Hero. If so, what rom are you using and what did you do to get it to work. Again this is the Xoom Wifi only not the Xoom with 3g and Wifi (I guess there are some differences in the hardware and software).
Thanks.
Hero only broadcasts wifi in ad-hoc, check your settings on xoom. I don't have one, but maybe it's a simple fix? Otherwise if xoom has usb you could just wired tether.

don't look for a tether option.... start wireless tether on your hero , then open wireless settings on your xoom and look for the Android Tether wireless network and connect.

I don't have the Xoom, but I do have the Archos 101 which is 2.2 not Honeycomb. I was able to bluetooth tether with the Wireless Tether App. I was using aospCMod 3/24. I have since changed ROMs and haven't tried to tether. I will do it this evening when I get home and document the steps I do to get it to work.
I am thinking that I paired the devices first before I did anything with the tethering. Then once I started the Wireless Tether App with Bluetooth I had to go into the tablet's wireless settings and select Bluetooth tether. I know it saved a lot of battery on my phone over tethering WiFi. The Archos doesn't have a GPS antenna and I was able to share the GPS too, which worked pretty slick.
needed a new rom
Flashed CM7 new from and bluetooth tether now works...
Must be in the rom's kernel...
!
Thanks for everyone's help.
good you got it fixed
Greeetings to all. I"ve been here before and thought it would be a good time to join. I managed to tether my wi-fi xoom to my Sprint Hero yesterday via BT pan after flashing cm7, (stable). I had tried several times with a few differnt ROM's with no success. I have to say....It's like night and day. I didn't know the hero could be so fast and handle so much.
I have been rooted for since August by following this thread, Thank You regaw_leinad

This may help? I'm not a tech guy, just like having the ability to tether and do things my way. Don't know if all these steps are necessary.....but it's what worked for me.
1. Downlaoded and saved Cyanogen mod update-cm-7.0.2-Heroc-signed.zip from this link.
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/20126-cyanogenmod-7-for-the-htc-hero-cdma-v702-25-april-2011/
You will also need to download the google addon pack from that site and save it.......gapps-gb-20110307
2. From Rom Manager, (free version), I created a nandroid backup.
3. Mounted and saved that back-up to my computer, then deleted everything on my sd card and computer just to be safe.
4. Formatted and partitioned my sd card using rom manager, then did a hard boot.
5. Mounted copied update-cm-7.0.2-Heroc-signed.zip to sd card
6. Unmounted and installed rom from rom manager, cleared all catch data and rebooted
7. After reboot remounted and moved google add-on pack gapps-gb-20110307
to sd card...installed, rebooted.
8. After my reboot, set up mail and filled everything in, all my previous apps downloaded on there own. (You have to have online backup to do this or do it yourself)
9. Opened Wireless Tether and selected BT, Make device discoverable.
10. Select BT on Xoom and make device discoverable, scan for devices, and scan for devices on Hero
11. Once both devices are found hit pair on both after confirming codes
12. Once Paired you will see that they are paired but not connected.
13. Select the wrench icon to the right your device name on the Xoom
14. BINGO....the the tether option is finally an option.
15 Click on tether device.....This should now show that the devices are connected. Return to home screen on Xoom and go to browser to confirm
16. Put the Xoom down and go play with cm7
ah.. i hate to burst your bubble but he got it fixed like 3weeks ago lol
OH, I know he figured it out a couple weeks ago. I'm just a redneck biker who likes playing with these things. Just thought I'd share my experience. I'm one of those who needs step by step instructions in language I can understand. Just thought I'd put it out there for anyone else looking who needs something more detailed. You pro's speak in a language a lot of people don't understand. LOL'er

I'm running Ivan's .8t2 and was able to get the wireless tether to work with no problems.
Wired tether is a different issue. I've got the latest HTC Sync loaded which is supposed to have the appropriate driver for XP sp3 I just can't get it to connect or even recognize the "eris network". The app fire up fine on the Eris, but it's like I'm missing some network setup on the XP.
I've done a google search and have not found anything too helpful. Mostly iPhone to Mac stuff.
Thanks in advance.
I've been trying to figure out why its not working. the kernel may need to be patched, and I know the app is supposed to let you know if the kernel is incompatible. I'll look into the kernel issue, but be patient with me as I'm still learning this dev thang!
in the meantime I have been running the KaosLegendary 0.8 rom and use mobile network sharing under wireless and network settings.
Thanks. FYI, there is no such setting I can find with Ivan's ROM.
Sent from my Eris using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
yeah, you wont find that feature on an Eris based rom, I'm gonna see if I can add it tho.
on any phone, root or not, you could just download the "easy tether" app from the market. does wired tether for free, and is really really easy to set up.
Thanks to both for the help. The easy tether did the trick.
I had a feeling there was something missing from the laptop's side.
My Mom thanks you, too. Now the laptop can be taken to her place so she can Skype with her grand daughter and great grand daughter.
Which app are you all using for tethering? I can't seem to get the wireless one to work, the wired one looks good, but not sure if it works with the HERO. There are two in the market, one is pda net which ive used, but it breaks up every few minutes and there is easy tether, but I haven't used that.
I think all you need is Htc sync installed to use the wired tether. I use the wireless tether just fine, you just have to experiment on which one works best for you. Try the 1.5 wireless tether.. Provided your hero is rooted.
**edit**
Heres website
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
You need HTC Driver installed for wired tether, and you also need the 2.11 PRI from one of the Eris ROMs.
yes, im rooted running fresh toast. Should I still use the one for 1.5?
Unless someone else knows about an update, There is currently issue with wireless tether and fresh toast. Like the ability to enable the wireless tether but the phone will lock up when disabling.
didn't the eris PRI cause problems before?
Only with Sprint NFL and Nascar.
Just finished using Easy Tether and honestly its very easy and fast!
I've used and enjoyed Pdanet but now it "expired" and I can't access any secure sites (like email) and it's really annoying.
Never got Easy Tether to work
I have the "Wired Tether" by the same people who made "Wireless Tether for Root Users" and can't get either to work (running Fresh 2.1.2)
I'm pretty sure I have the HTC Sync drivers on my computer since my system detects it successfully as an adb android phone.
Idk what to do, I'd prefer to get the wired tether for root users to work but even if I could figure out the wireless problem that would be cool too.
I'm using the wifi tether from google on my rooted stock 1.5 android
anyone still have the pri udatezip
Wired tether for root users won't work for us because a special driver needs to be in the kernel I think (at least from what I gather from the faq). Wireless 1.60 works great on zen my touch slide rom overclocked by the way. Those on fresh toast who have problems, try 2.01, it's meant for g1 with a new kernel built from toasts, so ya never know.

Brand, spanking new NC, came with updated software version already installed. Freshly rooted. Won't recognize ad hoc networks, of course :-(
Already tried the most up to date wpa_supplicant file fix, to absolutely no avail. Using rooted droid 1, with well-functioning wireless tether. Barnacle also a no go.
Any suggestions would very appreciated. Pulling my hair out, one by one, getting balder...balder.......

What does this mean?
Thanks for your help. What I mean is that the wpa supplicant fix (as described in previous threads - I'm using the Droid 1 browser or I would link back to that xda thread - sorry!) produces no effect. When the NC scans for wireless sources it recognizes many hotspots. Including my home wifi router. It simply will not list the phone's ad hoc signal (called either android tether or barnacle, depending which turned on.) The winbox connects just fine, so I don't think it's the phone's signal.
Others have used the wpa supplicant fix and their NC has worked well, but from what I can tell, they have NC's that were not upgraded to latest version, or had upgraded themselves. I wonder if brand new NC with the upgrade installed, needs a different fix. Not to be paranoid, but the wireless tethering apps have fallen out of favor with the powers that be. Maybe there is more disabling going on --- or I could just be doing something wrong. (Would not be a surprise)
Has anyone with a NC that came with the update pre-installed been able to get wifi tether? Using a phone with the paid wifi hotspot function will work with the NC. However, the droid 1 does not have a paid wireless hotspot option (it's too ancient, apparently). I had to sideload the wireless app to my phone, as it's not available on the market anymore, andit works well - just not with NC, even with the standard wpa supplicant fix.
Would upgrading the NC to CM7 take care of this issue? I'm a children's doc with skimpy hacking skills, & am a little afraid to try the procedure. Like doing an appendectomy with without knowing human anatomy

Wireless tether is working perfectly for me with CM7 right from the get-go, however....It does not work with Honeycomb at the moment (and I have not done the supplicant fix yet).
Thanks, hockeyfamily. I should probably go ahead and do the CM7 ROM.
update
Still have rooted v 1.2, not yet CM7. What finally worked for enabling ad hoc wifi, was deleting everything i had done previously, redoing it over again, & using Barnacle. The Wireless Tether app just giving a message to the effect that it was 'connected, but no internet.'
I updated to 1.2, rooted with an early version of MN, have an Eclair phone running Barnacle and this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872521 works great for me.
I've been trying many multiple things to get wireless tether to work. I currently have CM7 installed and have tried Wireless Tether for Root (versions 1.6, 2.0.7, and 3.1b2) and I've tried Barnacle Wifi Tether ver 0.6.7. In both apps, I can start tethering, but I can never see the phone from any other device (Win7, Evo 4G, iPod, Xoom). I also never see any data being transfered (up or down).
I swear I used to have tethering working on my Hero before, but I just cannot get anywhere with it. Does anyone have any suggestions I can try? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Make a Nandroid Backup!
Then Try Flashing a Different Rom, This way you can possibly determine if its the Rom, or whatever else that it may be!

Thanks for the suggestion. That's actually the last thing I tried before I posted my question. I tried the Toast Hero 2.4.0 ROM and that didn't make any difference. I still could not get anywhere with any wireless tether, couldn't see it, and it never reported any data transfer.
Any other suggestions?
Kushdeck ftw. I tether everyday. Great rom too.

Don't know if your Big on Sense Roms? But you could try my ExEnHeroC Rom... I'm Sure that Tether works, at least for Mostly everyone that I've spoke to! It should also work on the SenseFroyoV8.1 or V8.5 Roms too!
Also what Tether App are you using?
Good Luck!
Thanks everyone for the help. I think I figured out the issue. I think my issue is that the Hero can only do Ad-Hock connections. Am I correct in that? I was trying to connect to the Hero with another Android phone (HTC EVO) and a Xoom. It appears that neither of them support Ad-Hock connections.
Am I correct in all of this? Can the Hero support non-Ad-Hock connections?
hero only supports adhoc signals
Well, shoot. I thought for sure I tested it on a Win7 laptop and an iPad. I guess I didn't.
Does the bluetooth tether option work with the Hero? Thanks for all of your help with the WiFi option.
apple devices and windows will conect to it fine linux has issues.
I never had problems with Linux.
Oh, how I love my Evo 3D. Hotspot is so much better. Especially with 4G. I have my blue ray/ netflix player tethered to it to watch netflix.
"Damn you look even uglier in 3D"
im not sure about other linux distroes but on ubuntu at least it always just hangs on connecting then itll disconnect itself after five minutes or so. usb tether always worked fine though.
Have you tried PDAnet(Bluetooth&wired) ? If you don't want to switch ROM's just for tether. I've had it just over a year & am very happy with it especially after this last update.
Has anyone been able to get any version (2.0.7 or 3.x beta) of Google's WiFi Tether app working on their rooted Droid Bionic? Link to app
It didn't seem to work for this guy at the end of the video: Link
For me tethering is critical for work and I don't want to activate my Droid Bionic (which is coming tomorrow) until it can be confirmed working. Will keep using Thunderbolt for now... I can also imagine this is a huge issue for many other users.
However, I am aware that Motorola devices need some kind of device profile in the "Change Device-Profile" option in the settings of that app, has anyone played around with that, maybe choosing the Droid X or other Droid?
Any feedback greatly appreciated...
I hope you find a solution soon, I also have the same problem
Don't bother until a custom ROM comes out that can "hide your ass".
Since it is for work, paying for the monthly tether should be a business expense.
I tried some of the work-arounds on the net... barnacle did not work for me... choosing the droid x profile in device setup at least showed my wifi hot spot, but I could not obtain an IP... I had also noticed errors about dhcp in the log.

exactly, in the mean time your going to be stuck using PDAnet and a USB cable.
Got it, rooted it, figured it out. Use version 2.0.7. Change the LAN option to 10.10.1.x
Also it only works in ad-hoc mode but at least its a start. I'm sure updates will fix it.

Can't get 3 beta to work at all but it doesn't offer anything other than ad-hoc mode also. Also doesn't show data going through on the app. But hey at least it works.
Can anyone confirm the 2.0.7 wireless tether working?
not working
2.07 not working for me even using the 10.1 network. clients fail to obtain an IP address.
Same problem here - wifi tethering not working...
The newest 3.x didn't work for me. Has anyone tried manually setting the client's IP/Gateway/DNS? I don't remember what the dhcp issued on my incredible, otherwise I'd go grab my laptop and mess around with different static settings.

It takes a long time I noticed. Wait for the little blue notification icon to appear that shows the device is connected. Can take as long as 3 minutes sometimes but it works for me I assure you. The key thing is the 10.10.1.x network which is still unblocked because VPN's can use that network, anything other than that won't work.
I can't get wifi tehthering to work but just using the phones built in usb tehering option works and does not send me to a page to subscribe for tethering. Don't know why this works but if I try the built in wireless tethering it says I have to sign up. EDIT Was working on launch day but tried again today and won't work so I guess the system wasn't updated the first day I tried it.
Hi,
I found way to enable Hotspot without Verizon Provisioning. I used SQLLite Editor to modify settings.db for "Settings Storage" application ( com.motorola.android.providers.settings ). Set entitlement_check to 0 and reboot the phone.

I just tried this. It appears to be working. I was able to connect and browse from my laptop. Now the question is, does Verizon still know I'm tethering even though I'm not paying to tether?
I second. Works for me a well, with no warning or pop up. Cudos to you my good man

Just did it and all seems fine so far.
btw, WOW. Ive never poked around the databases like that. Everything from the hdmi overscan to wifi info is in there. That is So cool.
Works for me too! However, only works properly with WPA security. If Hotspot is set to "open", you can connect but get no internet...
