HELP - anyone in the UK - Lancashire area

Hi
a shop has rooted my phone, but now i'm stuck. i wanted to wifi tether it, but this didn't work, i think it needs to be flashed with something like cyan but i'm lost with the language etc. i am on firmware 1.0, so i now have a phone that is rubbish.
i'm willing to pay for your assistance.
anyone?????

Maybe I can help
maybe I can help. I rooted my fone a few days ago and it's working fine. Just plugged it into my computer and tethering is also available.
I'm assuming you have a G1. To check if you actually can tether.
From your Home menu, Go to Settings-Wireless Controls- then select Internet tethering.
If the Internet Tethering option is not available then you may not have rooted it properly.
As a complete nub, I read, and followed instructions and rooted my fone with the cyanogen ROM and loving it.
DO AS MUCH READING AS YOU CAN BEFORE TRYING ANYTHING!

[Q] How do you get Adfree working on the DHD?

Hi,
I have used Visionary to first temp root and then perm root and apps such as Screen shot, Titanium backup, Auto killer memory etc which need root work fine but I just can not get Adfree to take those annoying adverts away and was hoping someone here that has successfully got Adfree working properly on the DHD could help?
I have updated the host files in Adfree but it just wont work, any help would be greatly appreciated to get Adfree working.
Thanks

Well it works for me after updating the host list, strange

All I have done is used Visionary to temp root and then perm root and updated the host files in Adfree, but Ads still show.
I haven't gone any further with any of the other modifications like S-OFF or anything else like that. Do you need to?

My DHD is brand new, only had it a couple days so I am just using it as it is without any ROMS. Heres the software version etc pictured, I don't know if this is a version where Adfree currently doesnt work or other people have the same software and Adfree works?

You have to set s-off. The flash memory is locked and any changes to system files (adfree needs to make some) are not persistent if you are s-on. S-off is the same as unlocking the flash memory.

Either radio s-off our hboot s-off will do but radio is safer and you won't loose it if you do something stupid like accepting an official update.

For anyone else I just followed the S-OFF guide as recommended by dr.m0x

Issue with Rogers Captivate and Custom ROMs (title edit)

I'm about to save you a lot of time Rogers (Canada) Captivate users.
I spent the last 6 hours using http://serendipityrom.weebly.com/download.html these directions to flash a rom.
Here is what they don't tell you.
This is for the AMERICAN version (AT&T) Captivate only. Yes. You will be able to install the rom on your phone... but the SIM card supplied to you by rogers will not work with this rom.
Also, after following the "excellent" tutorials online and via youtube, you will end up with a phone flashed back to "stock" (At&T) stock... with all their bloatware. AND your startup graphic will now be "AT&T world phone"
Who would have known how good we had it as Rogers customers?
Bottom line. Stay away from Serendipity, and possibly all roms. Launcher pro is better than 90% of them anyway it seems. And you can turn that off in .6 seconds.

I'm currently using Serendipty 5.2 on my Rogers Captivate with no issues what so ever. You're most certainly doing something wrong.

Nice to know. The latest version is 5.7, which I installed. I will not add a clever image showing your folly by responding to my post out of common courtesy.

How about explaining what I did wrong instead of a face palm? I know that's asking alot.
Are you saying the tut online doesn't flash to an ATnT stock? Are you saying I'm stupid? Are you saying your rom works no matter what? Tell me. Educate. Communicate.
At the very least refute my claims.

Do your self a favor and delete your comments. It is still early, not too many have read it yet. You need to read much more and gain a better understanding before you post something like this

It would appear that the statement made by the OP is false, in that the ROM works on various versions of the device.
If you need assistance, make a new thread in Captivate Q&A, without a title directing the issue at one particular ROM (how about something like the new title of this thread?)
Explain what you have tried, what isn't working (exactly), and someone might be so good as to tell you what you did wrong.

Successful root? Problems with Wireless tether

So it still hasn't hit me yet that my Vivid is unlocked...but it is! Awesome!
Any who I rooted the Vivid right afterwards using Superoneclick root/another program (involving Zergerush) and superuser is installed and able to give out permissions to certain apps.
I immediately installed SetCpu which seems to be working fine but when I tried installing Wireless tether/WiFi tether/Barnacle nothing would budge when trying to connect devices onto my phone.
Am I missing a step?
Others on the same boat?
Thanks for any input!
EDIT: The Binary updater seems to be outdated BUT it has problems updating..?

Did you reboot after rooting it,

Yes. I already rebooted the device but to no success with Wireless tether =/

An issue with SetCPU?
I know my phone lost all phone and data connectivity when I used SetCPU and had my LCD Density set to anything under 220...
maybe it's related.

i tried ALL of the wifi tether apk's and NONE of them would work.. ultimately i just installed a different kernel and rom so i could just use the native app instead. works great.
It was kind of discussed here already.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1415240

I'm in the same boat. Installed different versions of the Wireless Tether for Root. Though my computer can connect, there's no internet access and my phone doesn't recognize the computer as connected (doesn't show up on the access control page). Any help?

Your best bet would be to install a different ROM and kernel and use the built in tether. Works fine on the few different ROMs I've used.

I just read a post from another Vivid thread that Wifi tethering does not work on a Stock Rom even if you are rooted. Wonder why that is?

It's because the phone is still "stock". The ability to use tethering is something that is built into other ROMs. At least for the built in app, that is. Never tried any of the 3rd party apps.

There is no root method for the GS5 on Lollipop.

so does that mean we can't go to an earlier version and root that?

Unfortunately, no. This phone was only rootable on KitKat.

Thanks, and that's ok but not the best of corse, what I have been able to do because the most important thing for me was/is a GPS app I use and it/was a root only app for storage to the sdext for offline maps. I get a popup now that directs me to another window that has a "hint" to select "0000-xxxx" on the next page, then I can select the sdext for storage and the app uses it (very happy) and it seems to happen for other file transfer tasks. I do not know if the app made this possible or if its just native as this was the first app I installed but it's there in any event. so now when my game files get to big for some other task I wish to do I just move the app data file to the sdext and do whatever and move it back when done. Again not the best but livable as I really like the 5.1.1/OJ3 ROM that's on my G870A, good battery live with quick operation after installing the Pro version of Samsung Package Disabler . I really like this phone! And let's hope this new exploit they found for the Verizon phones turns into something!
I also contacted at&t and stressed how important rooting can be (as for me it's a safety issue as there's bad service in the rural area I'm in) and suggested they might even allow it for an extra fee/no or paid support for doing it. I'm not holding my breath.
Thanks again, now I going to put my KFHD back to 8.1.4 and see if I can get OTG to work as this 870 is all I need for gaming now that I got glasses, I'm an old fart (chronologically)
