wireless tether

Hello I am having an issue with wireless tether 1.6. On any of the sprint 2.1 roms I try it freezes my phone and reboots when I stop tethering. Was wondering if there was a fix I didn't see when I looked around. It works fine until I go to stop. The only Rom I can get it to work is the my touch 3g port.

Sounds like you have bigger problems if the only rom you can get to work is the mytouch port.
When you flash a rom, go into the Wipe menu and wipe everything except battery stats.
If it still doesn't boot repartion the SDcard to Fat ONLY.
If it still doesn't boot, you have some issues somewhere.
I took care of a lot of stupid issues I was having by running the 2.1 RUU and re-rooting and flashing the rom again.

I've been having the same problem. It works just fine until I want to stop using it then it locks my phone, doesnt reboot though. It will sit there locked for 30 minutes if I let it, I have to pull the battery and reboot
There was a market update this morning though, haven't tried it yet with the new version.

I don't think he meant the mt3g is the only rom he can get to work. I think he meant mt3g is the only rom that wireless tether works properly on..

Are you running kernel .29?
I'll go even futher...are these kernels SDX kernals?
Edit: And even though it does freeze my phone if i stop it...its still a tether. and i love my phone being over clocked. so if i have to restart my phone instead of stopping the tether, its a small price to pay!

I am running the toast oc kernel. And yes I meant the tether only works on the mt3g. I ran the oc kernel on the 2.1 roms also that's actually when it started. I went from the oc mt3g Rom to aloysius 2.1 oc version and it quit working. So now I'm back on the oc mt3g Rom .

Well i think most ROMS run the .29 kernal while mt3g runs the .65 kernal. Sounds like its the .29 kernal.

Try this one it works like a charm xP.
and of course make sure your rooted
Edit:
Ive had problems in the past with wireless tether for root. this one works like advertised and works wonders no hot phone either

Ok Tyvm ill have to recover and install it then see if it works. And the kernel says .29 on the mt3g Rom so its the same one on both.

What I usually did to solve this was close the app with a task killer and it was ok with me. It's a known issue. However the problem I'm experiencing now is that If I want to change the SSID Name or any setting in the WI-FI app it takes me to a black screen labeled SU Permission? Suggestions anyone? oh and btw no one can see my her0 =/ help!

It works fine for me. I've used it several times and never had it lock up on me when I tried to stop it. I'm running the newest Damage Control 2.09.01 and android-wifi-tether 1.6.

I've always had trouble with 1.6 seems to work great for some people i linked the one for 2.0.2 same version for the evo and it works great even had a battery temperature shown in the program

Well the 2.02 doesn't work either. It freezes as soon as I give it root access.

Well i think most ROMS run the .29 kernal while mt3g runs the .65 kernal. Sounds like its the .29 kernal.

Actually, the my touch rom uses .29 kernel, but version 65, the others are like version 83 or something. Only basic difference is no bfs or comp cache

[Q] Custom Rom on A854 (Want Froyo)

ok guys i have looked EVERYWHERE. I joined this forum just to ask this question, as the name suggests, i was a recent iphone/ipod touch jailbreaker and just recently switched to android, and am currently not very familiar with the terminology and exploits..
I have been using a rooted A854 on Ntelos. It is a pretty locally based company near charlottesville, va. It is quite similar to telus in canada, but with very close ties to sprint in the shenandoah valley.
when i originally tried to root via a vulnerable recovery with rsd lite and a froyo, prerooted version, it kept failing so my friend downloaded and installed universal androot which worked like a charm. The only thing was that nandroid wasnt possible via that method, and i still didnt have Froyo.
Recently, when i installed ROM manager, I was able to flash Clockworkmod's open recovery, and was able to successfully make a nandroid. I am however interested in installing a custom ROM with froyo.
I have looked into Motofrenzy and Cyanogen 6 (unofficial port for Milestone)[/URL] which were available via nandroid restore.
When i was looking it was telling me to put the file for the rom in nandroid/adbrecovery but i have no such location on my sd card.
It also says that in order for me to maintain 3g access, i need the local 3g band file, which is also not available from the rom sites.
if anyone was successful in flashing a custom rom to the A854 via nandroid restore with custom 3g bands, could you please help me.
Also any additional help would be appreciated...
Thanks in advance

i also have da same phone with ntelos its really a rebranded moto droid not milestone which is a gsm phone so only flash droid roms . in clockwork mod after flashing recovery go to back up current rom and do a nandroid back up . because it only gives da sdcard about 20 sec. to mount it usually say error cant mount just quickly hold down x and power and it will boot into recovery on da second try . go down 2 nandroid do a back up then reboot in clockwork go 2 download a rom and flash away

so your saying that i need to boot into recovery twice? and yeah i know its a rebranded droid but i thought that i needed roms for the milestone (i guess they were referring to the gsm version). Are you sure that any droid rom will work? Because the bootloader is locked down and the roms depend on changing that correct?

OK. i think i found out one of my problems. Since my friend and i were never able to successfully flash a vulnerable recovery, my phones recovery mode kept booting into android default. I had an update.zip with GOTS recovery in it and it would fail signiture verification, but when i booted into recovery through rom manager it would let me into clockworkmods recovery... i updated to it there and it went through so i think i can flash a rom now... if only i werent so chicken

yeah droid1 roms (cdma) i don't know much about open recovery or vulnerable recovery i just used androot 1 click root to get root then used rom manager to flash clockwork mod recovery did a nandroid and been rom surfing ever sense. im on like my 4th 854 and they all have dat boot twice issue it only when u try to like install a rom straight from clockwork

Man, i can not tell you how much you helped me, i have searched everywhere for weeks for what you just told me!
So i can just install roms straight from rom manager and they will all work? freaking beast. Thanks a ton
Oh and btw if you havent overclocked i recommend you do so with an app from the market, milestone overclock... SO HELPFUL, it makes the phone so much faster... i have it set to 1200 mhz and 80 vsel with no distinct loss in battery life.

so which roms have you been using and how did you get froyo

i have da paid version of rom manager so i just flash overclocking kernels from there to go with wuteva rom i flash cause most custom roms max at 800mhz just make sure it says kernels for any rom . i been using a rom i got from the custom rom section on the droid forums called ultimate droid 2.1.0 really customizable if dats a word lol

Ntelos
So you have th ntelos milestone using a custom rom, how did you get your data and mms working ? Do you have the APN setting for ntelos?

I dont have to change those? my data worked but I didn't try mms

ntelos
Ahh ok I just finished flashing to cm6.1 and it works flawless then you simply go to voice dial and say open apn's and edit the mms setting to be ----mms.ntelospcs.net then all is well, I have voice, data, and mms all working.

so m tried froyo but it wouldn't recognize my sd... I got back by putting in my other sd and installing cyanogen 5 again... i really want cyanogen 6.1... ugh... imma try again to update to froyo but with my other sd

flash back 2 your stock ntelos rom click on voice dialer it should say " say a command " then you say "open APN's" sometimes it takes a couple of tries but it will show a list of APN settings copy it down on a piece of paper . now when you flash another rom do the same thing with da voice dialer but change da settings from verizon to da ntelos settings you wrote down press menu click save changes . reboot now you should have mms working . hope this helps

Ok guys thanks for all this help for everyone here and especially me. If someone wanted to make this into a non question post with maybe a step by step guide? i suppose i could but im feeling awfully lazy right now so yeah..

Ntelos
Yea not much love for the Ntelos folks here so we need to stick together

yeah we really do

well today is a new problem, i flashed the liquid frozen yogurt 1.95 and lost my data 3g connection, i can turn it off then back on and it will come on for about 10 mins then 3g will be gone until i turn it off and on again...Any ideas?

well does it switch to 1x or does it just leave... you could also try to toggle airplane mode on/off... every so often my data switches from five bars 3g to 2 bars 1x and toggling airplane mode normally fixes it... but if you lose it completely I recommend you try to either nandroid back to stock or attempt to send mms or call someone and see what happens...

(help) Droid 1 root

Im at a beach house in north Carolina for a week and i rooted my aunts Droid 1 (i have a Samsung fascinate rooted with cm7 and some oc kernel, i have a bit of experience with android) She had stock 2.2.2 and i originally tried to root with z4root 1.3 then i read up it doesn't work with that android version so i then found a guide to root from whatever android version (http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-labs/74028-root-droid-1-regardless-os-version.html) and i followed every step perfectly and everything went smoothly then i booted to see if it worked and su was there so i tried to download rom manager to test the su but it wouldn't cause apparently there was no data... I had perfect cell signal could make calls and whatnot but no 3g data so i broadcasted wifi on my phone and got it that way and installed cm7 and some other kernel thinking it would fix the data issue but it didn't... Im posting this long story so u know exactly what i did and if there's a way to fix this 3g data issue please help me.. I've reflashed many different versions of cm7 and also rsdlite a stock .Sbf file for 2.0.1 and 2.1 still no data please help.

Return to stock ROM without USB?

Is there a way to return to stock AT&T Rom be it Eclair or Froyo without using the USB port. The phone is having battery problems and a new battery wast bought but still the same. I tried to return it to stock but the usb port is not working tried different cables, computers and even tested my phone and it works for mine. It will charge but not recognize usb connection on the phone and some times will show a driver could not be installed on the computer (again mine does connect).
The phone at the moment is on perception an older build I had on my computer and previously on cognition on which it was for months without problems, so I know the rom is not the problem. Today I tested the battery on my phone and it charged a bit strange but being using it(lite use a few calls and some internet) for 10 hours an still 70%.
I can get into Clockworkmod recovery and download mode no problem.
Any help would be appreciated.

Does usb debugging appear in status bar when you plug it in(not sure if it is hidden in your rom or if the option to hide it is ticked) but if so its probably your computer. Reinstall drivers or try a different pc

There is a link in my signature below for Froyo. In that thread there is a CWM version and Odin for the KB1.

Cant, recoery system is like HTCs where you can just flash and go on your happy way... i hate that yoi have to be near a computer when testing a ROM, but if you brick, its usually recoverable.
I wish somebody would mix HTCs ability to flash a zip of different versions of android without computer being needed, and also the ability to recover bricks.

Rom manager?

Well I'm really unhappy :C I resently got a gingernbread text update for my phone but my phone has been having connection problems with the USB since 3 days ago.. I don't know why but I've tried everything and I've read that you can update to gingerbread with ROM manager is that true? I really just need the gingerbread sound update... but my phone won't connect to my computer except for charging and I don't get a driver error message on connection is it possible to do a update without the computer with rom manager or something else? If so how? Please thanks so much!
Side note: I know the problem is a phone thing because kies won't even open up when plugged into the wall and it used too.

Anyone? Please
Anyone? Please

No. To go to gingerbread you need to connect to a pc to update bootloaders.

You might still have download mode connectivity, in which case you can use Heimdall one-click ROMs with GB bootloaders (Apex ROM! yay!)
Also to troubleshoot connectivity make sure your USB cable works, have fresh untweaked Windows install (patches are OK) or different PC, have fresh USB drivers and good luck!
ROM Manager app might help you depending on your luck. It worked for me in Eclair era to inject ClockWorkMod and even flash ROMs. Then things got awry, or lot of noobs came in, and errors were reported...

Never use rom manager. It causes to many problems. At least that's what some dev's say.
