I buy the Ego 4g and a friend root my phone and put these app WiFi tethering. The last Tuesday my phone download a update and my radio change. With this update the WiFi tethering stop and I dont use more. Someone know how root again the phone with this new update and use the WiFi?
Lol, wow this topic keeps coming up. You cant root now if you have the latest update. you will have to wait until someone figures out a way to do it
Thanks I will waiting.
lol, lucky you that someone just figured out how to root. Check out the dev forum
there are instructions in the dev forum, as elegantai mentioned.
for future reference, SEARCH before posting, and don't make your thread titles so obtuse. state your issues clearly so people know what your problem is

ok, so while best buy was activating my phone (which took a litle shy of 3 hours) , they updated the firmware or the software (whatever it is that was updating at the time). when i had a touch pro 2 i rellied heavily on xda-wifi program to provide internet to my laptop. am i screwed now that best buy updated my phone? how can i get my phone to provide wifi to my laptop? i am in the dark, and even tho i love the evo's speed it still does not compare to a laptop and what it can do. Please help. i feel like if i am in the dark ages without wifi hotspot.
Like the hero when it first came out, wifi tethering in it's classic form doesn't work yet. HOWEVER: Go enable your sprint hotspot app...I believe I heard that haven't locked it down yet so even though you're not paying for the service, it should work in a pinch.
I seen i lot of this going on at best buy while i was waiting in line. They didnt get to mine though.
hmm ill try it, im guessing using the sprint hotspot "free" until they fix it will be uncapped huh?
but now that they updated me, am i going to be able to root? i saw a few post that people were able to get wifitethering after root but it was kinda of tricky.
i, for one dont mind the sprint tv, navigation and other sprint stuff. i actually enjoy using them (i mean im paying for em right?). but i would like a program like xda-wifi (the one i had on my tp2) where all i had to do was run the cab and it installed the program.
is there anything out there now where i can use the wifitethering abilities of the phone while keeping my rom "LIKE" stock with all programs that came out the box?

when i go to sprint hotspot and check the sprint mobile hotspot it gives me "error code 67. Registration failure. your pcs vision username and/or password may be incorrect. please try again"
The (temporary) free hotspot only works on 4G.
ah, that would make sense...seeing as how im in boston and 4g not getting here till 4th quarter 2010...this is insane...what do i do now in order to provide my laptop with internet from my phone? if someone could help me with the root or something. but my phone is updated, can i even do it now?

I don't live in a 4G area. Last night I was able to tether my HERO, my iTouch (I know), my wife's PRE, and my laptop. But today, I get the "error code 67". Darn it!
You can root ur phone after the OTA if you go to http://unrevoked.com/m from your phone browser and download the .apk, then run it... seemed to work pretty good for me at least it appears I'm rooted now (I couldn't get wifi tether to work tho)
On a side note...anyone else use this method or know if this is safe and/or from a trusted source? I usually stick to XDA for mod stuff, I just happened to run across this, this morning someone on Twitter posted it
EDIT: I see the other thread, nvm

the only reason i would root is to get access to get access to wifi tether, otherwise i have no reason to root (im not into removing apps and stuff).
what other threat did you see that had to do with my issue?
the updates started the moment she activated my phone. saw the word 'firmware' and yelled "NO!", reached over her shoulder and hit cancel.
Hope so because my friend was testing my phone and when he gave it back it was doing the update. He told me there was an update available, but he made it seem like it was an update in the market place! Now qik force closes overtime I open it.

This just happened about 24 hours ago to me. i noticed it says "unable to start wifi" also i think that affected my wireless tether.
My phone has the simple root done to it. I have Astro File Manager, ROM Manager, and like i said before i did the simple root with Unrevoked3. i am a mac user, i dont know if this second paragraph of information helps.
What should i do? should i just wait for the update to 2.2 that is supposed to be updated to my phone sometime soon? i tried restoring from an old backup and also tried to do a full system clean as well but still same thing. I am a newbie to this but i feel as though i have somewhat of a grasp on this.
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated
You guys sure keep the mods busy around here.

that suggestion didnt help
I feel your pain, most responses around here aren't helpful... just negative... you'd think that if someone took the time to reply they'd just share... typical forum behavior though.
I can’t seem to find a clear answer on this… some say it works, others say it’s broke.
*watching in hopes someone can help*
yeah i am just hoping i get the 2.2 update soon and it fixes it. so i am guess i am gonna have to wait until then and then take it from there. unless someone has some ground breaking suggestion. cause, i've been looking around and it seems like this is a problem thats been occurring as of recently.

I have sky raider 2.5.2 and my wifi keeps trying to connect then obtain ip address then disconnects and keeps trying all over again why please?
so since nobody gave me any good feedback i decided to take on the task like a blank canvas.
Step 1: Reinstalled original Kernel
step 2: Full Data/Cache Wipe
step 3: reuploaded all of my data from last backup...
it appears everything is working fine.WIFI works great!!! I need to double check wifi tethering though. if anyone is interested i can repost if tethering is working.

I know how to fix it on verizon but not sure about cricket. How do you usually have to program it? Is there a number you call for ota programing or do you do it manually thru epst?
i did the ota with a few codes they gave me none of them work i had to do it myself last time but none of the epst ## codes work just ##3424

Go back to my thread post 1 and use the recommended refresh option to get you back to the basic Inc ROM and you should be good to make the Cricket changes

Not sure if it was your thread and that is what you are talking about, but I recall a thread here in the Q&A or the General forum about getting your 3G back if by loading a certain sense ROM and then doing a *228 or something. Not sure of the speicifics, but I can't find that thread now. Do you or anyone know what I'm talking about and how to find that thread as my search-foo is failing me.
There is a guy in the CM7 nightly thread that lost his 3g completely and I'm trying to find this for him.

Hi. I was reading your post and wondered if you ever got your cricket issues worked out. I have a Dinc on cricket too.
I flashed a custom rom a few weeks ago that wrote a vzw prl to the phone. I was so interested in checking it out, I didn't notice for hours that I had no service.
If there was a warning about writing a prl, I didn't see it. Luckily I was able to find and restore the ckt prl after I finally noticed what had happened.
So I'm a first time Android user, just picked up the Verizon LTE Galaxy Nexus. Rooted it with the r3 superboot image. Mainly I just want root access so I can enable tethering, I don't really plan on doing much else with it. After rooting, does that mean I can no longer receive OTA updates? And if so, how would I update Android from here?
Thanks everyone!
Also I should note that other than running a web server, I'm relatively new with linux console as well.

you will receive. And it should update just fine, if you didnt change anything in system.
Awesome, thanks.
Also, in case anyone finds this, a lot of tethering apps weren't working for me. Couldn't start ad-hoc and create an SSID. The free one that I found that did work right away was Tethering Widget.

OTAs will either not install, or will install but remove your root. If you want to preserve your system and not chance anything just wait a few for the update packages to come out and flash them manually.
As far as tethering, I'd take it easy for a little while. Just rooting and installing a 3rd party app doesn't instantly let you tether the Verizon version. They still have their own tracking software thats going to block/ask you to pay for it. You're best off waiting for people to figure out what files need to be removed to make sure VZW isn't watching your tethering activity.
Awesome thanks for the heads up. As long as i can avoid having to reroot and set up all my personalization, then that would be great. So these update packages, do i install them the same way by booting into bootloader mode and installing it with fastboot?
And i think my last question will be is where is a good spot for me to pay attention to in order to find out when evdnts like these discoveries on tethering happen and the updates released?
Again thanks for being so helpful and covering my ass This is a pretty cool community
Is there a way to stop updates if you're rooted?
Not sure if I'm posting in the correct section.. but wanted to ask the experts if there is a ROM that will allow me to have the Hot Spot Feature with my business plan... but NOT effect the WIFI calling performance? It's an absolute must that I have a good consistent WIFI calling as I have ZERO reception at my home office!
Thank you for any advice or help!

PS. I know that the S3's were having major issues with the WIFI calling up until a couple of weeks ago.. I heard it was on TMobiles end however.
Yes.... Its in the wrong section... This belongs in the q & a thread

I could be wrong, but as long as your flashing a touchwiz Rom, you should expect the same, ideally better, performance as stock.

and this one is for ICS http://androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390135922294522635

its not intended just for you, it causes more clean up for mods as well and that's why they put the report option so the thread wouldnt be filled to the brim with comments about it being in the wrong section and Flaming the OP.
on another note have you flashed any of the roms yet?
Just got back to the house... I plan on flashing probably later this evening or tomorrow morning. Do you happen to know if there is any backup that literally mirrors your phone image? IE Text Messages etc?
One more question if you dont mind... I noticed on the way home I would pickup up Edge and "G" on my GS3... assuming this is AT&T.. the only way the phone was able to even see the signal is when I made some adjustments in the Roaming / register with the network settings. Is there any Rom or Flash that will allow the phone to work on the AT&T towers? I noticed I wasnt able to actually place a call on the network ... or at least not consistently when the phone saw almost full bar AT&T.
Thanks for the heads up!

well when roaming all roms intended for a t mobile version will switch to at&t towers but if you want to be constantly on att towers you would have to switch over to att.
also if your on jb right and root then just flash another jb rom touchwiz of course the settings will carry over msgs and such. same goes for ICS but if you wipe during the flashing process all of those settings will be lost. the way i do now is im on cm 10,1 and when ever a update comes out now i just press update no wiping is done during the process.

Thanks again for the advice.. I'm downloading the recommended link that you sent me for Root 66. Which Rom do you recommend for best all around performance & keeping stock touch wiz so as to not screw up the WIFI calling feature?
