Thanks:
Scary Alien for helping with some of my brainstorms
CPCookieMan for pointing me in the right direction with my initial thoughts for this project
MongooseHelix for the idea of the script vs a flashable zip
This is a very simple script that utilizes the radiooptions command to disable the radio but still allow use of WiFi without having to use airplane mode. Great for people who just upgraded and want to use their older device for an mp3 player with WiFi access. I wanted to make it to be run in init.d on startup but haven't successfully got it working that way yet so for now it can be run with script manager. This script can be run as follows:
1. Download the script and place it somewhere on your SD Card. (Maybe make a folder named Scripts to keep things organized)
2. Download Script Manager from the market.
3. Open Script Manager and navigate to where you saved the script then select the script.
4. Check the options for run as root and if you always use wifi only because you don't have service on your device check off Run at boot as well.
5. When prompted by superuser allow superuser permissions.
I have tested this script on my Incredible and my Eris as well and should be universal to run on any android device.
Download Here
If you are using this on an inactive device and don't want the activation screen coming up after reboot and new ROM flash follow these simple steps.
*NOTE: you need to be using a ROM that has EPST.apk in it for this procedure to work.
1. Select emergency call and dial ##778.
2. Select edit and enter service password 000000.
3. Select NAM Settings.
4. Change Mobile Directory number to 0000000000 (Ten digits).
5. Change MIN1 to 0000000 (Seven digits).
6. Change Mobile Country Code to 000 (Three digits).
7. As you back out "Commit the Change".

cool! Will this work on any rom? I guess it should. This is just what I've been looking for. I'm getting a second dinc to test roms, this won't be on a line so this will be perfect. I haven't flashed scripts before (however it sounds easy enough) is it easy to disable it?

Yes. It will work on any rooted device and any ROM. Just run through Script Manager and if you want to disable it change the settings within Script Manager to disable run on boot then reboot. It's that easy.

Yes.. It should work on any rooted device running any ROM. If you want to double check to be certain you can check inside the ROM for /system/bin/radiooptions, then you will know for certain it should work. The script uses that to shut down the radio.
Cool, almost makes me wish I would have kept my Eris.
tether?
So can this allow us to tether the wi-fi only phone to our new network phone? the idea being to use the non-network phone to stream pandora, use google maps, etc?

Quick question, I have an old incredible with a cracked screen I wanted to turn into an MP3 player like youre suggesting here. How exactly do I download from the market on a deactivated phone? Can't get past setup without the phone being activated.

There is a way to get past that using ##778. I don't remember without going through it exactly what in all to do but i have a link at home
On ny comp and I can add the details when i get home.

Doing that will work but next reboot you'll probably get the activation screen again. If not you'll get it again after another ROM flash but it will come back at some point. I think I noticed on my Eris it was after a reboot. This procedure below got rid of it permanently.
1. Select emergency call and dial ##778.
2. Select edit and enter service password 000000.
3. Select NAM Settings.
4. Change Mobile Directory number to 0000000000 (Ten digits).
5. Change MIN1 to 0000000 (Seven digits).
6. Change Mobile Country Code to 000 (Three digits).
7. As you back out "Commit the Change".
Then you shouldn't be prompted to activate again even after a new ROM is flashed
Just to be sure, is this reversible? Say if I needed to reactivate the the phone?

Absolutely. Simply open script manager and disable run on boot. You can then remove the script from your SD card.

Good point . No they won't. Dial *228 option 1. It will ask for the phone number you want to activate and that stuff will be done ota. That's how I activated my Eris with a different number as well. I would suggest making sure to do that from a stock or stock based ROM as well.

That is also an option to this script. Not everyone likes the airplane mode method for one reason or another though so this is an alternative for those people.

Also, I'm trying to remove the activation upon startup, but the View doesn't have a phone to it. is there any other way to disable the activation throuhg the registry or something?

It shouldn't be searching for service with the script running. Do you have the radiooptions command in system/bin? Apparently there are some roms around that do not.

THIS IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. BY USING SUCH A SERVICE COULD BE AGAINST YOUR CARRIER'S TERMS OF SERVICE.
Ok, I have been playing around with the Wireless Tether for Root User and got it to work on the Droid Eris!
For those who don't know what this is useful for, it allows your phone to be a gateway/router and broadcast your 3G/Edge network to other devices such as a laptop.
To get this to work, you must have 2.1 with root and flashed custom rom "Rooted 2.1 v0.3"
To get to this point, follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=647707
Once you are to this point, grab "wireless_tether_1_70-pre2_htc.apk" from http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list?can=2&q=HTC+Donut
Make sure you allow Apps from unknown sources to be installed. (Menu > Settings > Applications > Unknown sources).
Install the app. Depending on how you acquired the download, use the browser download list, Astro Browser, Android Mate ect.
When launching the app, Superuser Whitelist will pop-up. Click always allow.
Congratulations! Now you can use your phone as a router for other devices.
THIS IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. BY USING SUCH A SERVICE COULD BE AGAINST YOUR CARRIER'S TERMS OF SERVICE.
I had success using "wireless_tether_1_70-pre2_htc.apk", but other versions might work also. You might get this to work without flashing the custom rom but you will have to have Superuser Whitelist, which I had trouble doing.
awesome tutorial for people that weren't sure. I added it to photex-media with working links and all =) thanks again.
any reason you went the 1.7 version as opposed to wireless_tether-2_0-pre8? I've been runnning 2.0.8 for a day or two now on and its been great.

Oh I was having problems, and after I flashed the rom, that was the 1st one I tried and it worked. I will try other versions too.
Fair enough, just wasn't sure if you knew something that I didn't about the wifi chip or something. Sorry to be a stickler.
Ive got it installed and when i load it, a panel pops up saying "SU request" but it either doesn't show anything or Force closes. Is my recovery messed up?
I don't know that it would directly be a result of your recovery, generally that's not what is running the SU program. It would be helpful to know what ROM you're currently running, as well as what version of the tether you're trying to run.
im running ivans 2.1 v0.3 and i tried the 1.7pre2 apk and the 2.0pre8. With the 1.7pre2 it force closed at the SU request and 2.0pre8 it just doesn't show anything at SU request and somewhat freezes.
EDIT!!::: i have no idea why but my usb debugger setting got switched off so i switched it back on and i can start the program and it looks like it is working, but no wireless device ive tried can see the phone as a accesspoint. BTW now i am using the 1.7pre2 version

Once in a while my laptop can't find it either so I do a combo of restarting the latop/phone/service until I get it all working together. If I am correct, the set up is a point to point network so how you are configured might effect it but I might be wrong. Another app that works pretty well for wifi tethering is aNetShare. One last thing, make sure that the app has SU permissions. If you can't get it to work, try figuring out variables, like do you have wifi/bluetooth/gps on? I have no clue if this effects anything, just tossing out ideas.

is there a limit to how much data i can use.. like with this tethering app.. will verizon charge me extra if i use alot of data with this program
If you aren't on a rom with ifconfig in /system/bin/ifconfig:
go to adb shell
get root (su)
type ln -s "/system/xbin/busybox ifconfig" /system/bin/ifconfig
That should clear it up.

If you have an unlimited data plan on your phone, then no there is no limit to how much data your phone could use. Call Verizon and ask if you wanna be sure. BUT, you arent supposed to be using this data connection on your pc without adding the feature to your plan which is more money. So if you hook this up and start downloading/uploading large amounts of data (bittorent, video streaming, ect) then is POSSIBLE to get yourself into trouble as it would unusual for a phone to use gigs in gigs of bandwidth in a week.

Change the ro.entitlement to false and then add ",tether" next to default on the APN type.
Reboot the phone and enable the hotspot.
You won't get a notification in the taskbar, but just disable it when you're done with it.
hi i have changed. ro.entitlement to flase and reeboted, but it says too much battery and when you press yes it just closes. how is supposed to run when you have it right?

Well, if you changed it to "flase", then I'd imagine it not working.
Anyway, there is no "indication" that the hotspot is working, you need to verify that it is working by trying to connect to it via a computer.

1. I would like to know your process of rooting with gingerblur on 1.83
2. I have added false to that line, what do you mean by add tether to what APN?
3. would you have detailed instructions? like step by step vs. this vague info is just hard to follow.
I have had the best luck by simply changing the apn of att tether to "phone" from "broadband" using a SQL editor.
This allows mms and text messing to dynamically chose the correct apn (no manual downloading mms messages) and they icon works.

Those instructions are completely, patently obviously crystalline. You should go google your google os then reread. Seriously, don't ask to be served on a silver platter. Read, understand and ask for specific clarification on a step that confuses you if google and forum search fail you. Rooting is well documented. Get unlazied for that one. Which apn should you consider adding tether to? Probably the one you are using, common sense would dictate. (Further extension of common sense states that you might need to make a new apn that is a copy of your current one with changes for this.)
Mine worked without adding tether to my apn! I don't know that this particular step is necessary. I've downloaded several hundred MB's through my phone on Steam without adding tether to my apn, but YMMV.

check your APN settings and MMS settings.
They are sharing the same apn, but i've been playing with the setting (all know variations) but still every time i use packet data it will always fail to send any sms's.
It's becoming very annoying to have to manually connect every time i want to use some data.

Same issue
I have the same problem, bud.
Updated my Ace to Gingerbread and found I couldn't send SMS with Packet Data turned on. Turn it off and SMS sends OK. I'm with Virgin (UK) which I believe is the same network as T-Mobile.
Re-flashed Froyo and all works as it used to. After that, I fired up Kies as I hoped to get an official version that way and sure enough it said there was a firmware update available so I installed that. Turned out to be the official Samsung Gingerbread and yet again i broke SMS when Packet Data was turned on.
I'm back to Froyo once more and have emailed Virgin to ask if they can offer any advice. I notice another report of this issue on another forum where the guy called Virgin and was apparently told the fault seemed to be with VM.
Sorry this doesn't provide an answer but thought it worth corroborating your symptoms.

I tend to email or use gtalk/kik for messages but the odd time I want sms this gets annoying.

Okay, gonna try to explain it.
1. Go to /system/app and rename Mms.apk to Mms.apk.bak
2. Install the attached Mms.apk (It's from CM6)
3. Download AutomateIt from the Android Market (Just the free one)
4. Open it and add a rule. Trigger should be "Application Status Trigger" and the app is Messaging. Make sure "Application Adtivated" is marked. And the action should be "Set Mobile Data" and "Mobile Data Enabled" should not be marked.
5. Save it and add a new rule. Trigger should be "Application Status Trigger" and the app is Messaging. Make sure "Application Adtivated" is NOT marked. And the action should be "Set Mobile Data" and "Mobile Data Enabled" should BE marked. Save this one, and you are done!
This will disable Mobile Data every time you open your Texts, and enable it then you exit your texts. The reason you need the CM6 Messaging-app, is that this tricks doesn't work with the original Samsung-app

Found a problem though. MMS doesn't seem to work. Downloading the message fails..
This may sound a little noob-ish but I am new to device and my condition is a bit bad.
My G1 is running Android 2.2 Froyo, it has a keyboard with E,R and 6,7 keys not working. And I cannot get past google verification. I can't run wifi and to write the apn settings, I require the keys.
The ****ty system doesn't even show on-screen keyboard in the auth.
So what can I do apart from dumping the G1? Is there some way to enable on-screen keyboard?
EDIT -> I now know that the device is rooted and has Amon_Ra but I can't seem to do anything. Any help?
Re: [Q] [HELP] Bypassing Google authentication
If you are running 2.2froyo then you must be rooted as the dream can not be updated past 1.6 donut without root.
But if your only issue is those couple keys to bypass why not just make a new gmail that doesn't use those keys, new accounts are free you know, how about [email protected]

Well, the problem is not with the Gmail account, the problem is setting up the GPRS connection. You know, the APN settings. If only would it let me use WiFi from default.
And I can't even use it on adb I guess (to enable it I need to type in a code).
I did see something like "WiFi patch" on CaNNoN202's ROM thread, but the links were dead.
Still looking for help

Do ya need a keyboard? i have some inbox me.
If it is rooted and has amonra recovery installed then boot to recovery and flash a compatible ROM, nearly all custom ROMs have the ability to let you bypass sign in and go straight to os
If you want help choosing a ROM that is compatible you need to tell me what radio and SPL you have
If you really just want to use adb to bypass I can help with that too but it is unneeded if the phone is rooted

Well, I do not know the radio and SPL (the person I bought it from had it all done). Would anything happen if I install the latest SPL and Radio? And they already be on the device? (which is rare)
EDIT: I looked another thread and found that pressing Camera + Power should show me a screen which tells me the radio and other things. Tried it and it showed me a RGB-color screen. Radio was 1.22 something and the Hboot was 0.95 something.
And by the way, on the same thread I found that, if we boot into recovery and it shows a triangle and "!", it means the phone is unrooted. Well, unfortunately that is the case with me

Thanks for this. I did get most of my questions about the device solved from this thread. But the By-pass method won't work for me as I can't enable the device in adb. W,E,R keys are not working on my keyboard...
Hi, I had the same problem. Try to go to the 'Welcome to Android' screen with the android guy. Touch the upper left, upper right, down right (above the bar with the Emergency dial button and down left in THAT order. It should work....
Dual screen not active, work around
Hi guys, after reading several threads I was having problems getting any of the method to work for my LG H634. I was able to get as far as opening browser, but as far as installing an app or opening dual windows I was unable to. It seems that the dual screen option is not turned on when the phone is reset and returns default setting. Fortunately while using the phones browser to research the problem I noticed the more browser window and apps I left open the the longer it would take to go to the activation screen when the phone was turned on. After leaving nearly 30 browser windows and several app such as messages note pad and other as that I was able to open using the share option from sites such as YouTube the phone had enough lag when initially booting that I actually had time to open the setting screen by quickly making a downward swipe on the screen during short time it took to go from the the opening screen to the activation screen. Once I was able to do this I had full access to the phone's option menu which allowed me to change account, turn on the dual screen option, allow third party apps to be installed as well as every thing else needed to gain full access to my phone.
Hope this helps some of you. I there are any questions I will be glad to answer them.

Can you help with and install that app with adb, I don't know how to do it.
Not the same device and somebody else may have a better source but these guys gave me some info I wasn't aware of (plus is the first one I could come up with
://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/noob-read-adb-fastboot-how-hep-t2807273
I pulled the phone app off mine and replaced it with drupe to set if there was lost functionality. So far works pretty well, like the app had never used it before. I think my wife has the straight Google dialer for nougat on her n5, up pull it off there and give it a run. I never really used those other features so they never meant anything to me just duplication. If I want to message I message etc..
Teu downloading that file and the program win - zip says it will open those files. Haven't gotten inside it yet myself but I would think that being a regular apk if it is still slow you to install it the normal way
I had the same problem, AT&T is my carrier. I had to insert a T-Mobile SIM, open the contacts app and hot swap the SIM back to AT&T, at which point the phone rebooted and all was well.
There is probably another way to do this, as it seems to be related to video calling.
I Uninstalled my lg dailer to see if I could duplicate the issue. Got rid of that app and replaced it with drupe. Really like the way that app works but it seems that you can't use the dailer codes to access the hidden service menu without it. I don't use the video value so that means nothing to me, but those codes could be useful.
I've got a tgz file that I sent you but can't seem to open it up to extract that apk.
All you did was switch out SIM cards? That sounds odd to me, but I did notice that once the call is placed the LG dealer /call interface shows up but as soon s you end the call away goes the dialer
You know what all ths phone dialer exist in? I searched. For phone.apk found nothing?
you can take it by yourseld...extract the kdz of you model smartphone take the system img and open it with ext2explore, then explore the system image save it on you computer explore system image saved and take all your apk you need..save in your microsd and install..
