Can the 2.27.651.6 build be rooted?

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.

[Q] Tethering = rooting?

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?

Wifi tethering stop working after flashing .223

Hello,
I would like to get a second confirmation. I have flashed .223 ftf on my AT&T TL, and when I tried to tether internet to an iPhone, it would not get dhcp address. Though, if I manually assign an IP on IPhone, I can surf the net.
Does anyone else has the same problem?

When you flashed 223 did you omit baseband?
If not, flash original AT&T firmware, then flash 223 but omit baseband and tethering should work.

Yes, I did exclude basebend when flashing.

Thanks for the confirmation! I just tried tethering on my laptop and it's fine as well. It's probably the problem on iPhone.

I've got Polish 370 and BT works fine.
SGP311 + Tapatalk 4

DJ-Tumor: I have a European version of Tablet Z. Originally, it came with .344 firmware which I rooted using some method floating around this forum. Then the update to .370 came. First, I installed OTA RootKeeper as advised by someone and made a backup of the root. Then I simply updated the tablet using the built-in Sony's Software update app.
After reboot, the system was still rooted. I am not sure if root survived the update or RootKeeper did it (I am not really familiar with the application). Nevertheless, I now have .370 rooted system and can verify that Bluetooth works fine (I just tried it and it discovered two BT device).
I have the 16GB model SGP311.

Good for you guys....but I still can´t update (Update impossible it says even though I ONLY ROOTED IT).
But what I wanted and seemingly no one understood... I NEED EUROPEAN FIRMWARE 344.
I have a feeling that it´s the Japan firmware why my tablet has infunctional Bluetooth.

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

Go ahead and grab and install the stock deodexed rom...or hold out till someone makes an odex tethering mod

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.
