WiFi Tether (for root users)

So I have installed the Stock OTA 2.2.. that has root access. I have wireless tether for root users 2.0.5 pre 6 it starts up fine however no devices can see it. I was wondering if anyone has gotten this to work on 2.2 with the stock Rom.

i'm not positive, but i have heard both yes and no, and i'm not sure what the difference in setups is between those that have good luck and bad.
i know that cm6 can enable hotspot access (3G) with no problems. perhaps the devs putting out the sense 2.2 can manage to port it over to sense.

[Q] unrevoked mobile app quesiton

ok, so i am fully rooted and tricked out, but my dad is still running a stock evo. he wants free wireless tether, but doesnt want to be rooted. i used a temporary root version of unrevoked that runs directly on the phone to do this when i first got the evo, and i am trying to do the same for him. i used the unrevoked mobile app located at www.unrevoked.com/m/ to do this for myself when i just got the evo, so i downloaded it and put it on his phone. when i hit the root button, it says it cant find the marker or extract the marker or something like that. i am aware that this uses the rageagainstthecage.bin exploit, and i know how to do it manually, but this would really be a good tool for my tech-deaf dad. does somebody know if there is any way to use this, or does it not work on the newest ota? thanks

As far as I know, you can't use the wireless tether program without being permanently rooted. Or are you planing on temporarily rooting every time you need the wireless tether program?

i am planning on temporarily rooting every time. i know for a fact that this worked on the original evo 2.1 rom. i am just asking if it will work on the newest ota, and if it does, how can i get it to work for me, because it is not. thanks for responding.

[Q] wifi tether without being rooted

how can you have a mobile hotspot without being rooted and if not possible is any temporary root apps or programs that i can install. Which bring me to this question as well, Is unrevoked a temporary root program?

You can do WIRED Tethering using free apps like PDAnet without being rooted, however free wireless tethering requires rooting.
And there is no "temporary Root." You're either rooted or not. Either way, you CAN unroot if you choose

PDAnet and EasyTether have a trial period of like a month? maybe. After that trial period is over, you can still use the software for USB Tether however you will not be able to connect to secure sites and have to purchase a one time license.

It's easy enough to unroot if you ever need to take the phone in for warranty stuff. Read up and watch some movies on thedroiddemos dot com for more info. Do a good week or more's worth of research before you make your decision. Most of the problems you might run into have been run into before and have been solved or prevented with updates to the things you'll load to the phone.
Good luck!

Z4root is a temporary root app, but unrevoked is not. you could part $30 for tether, not that I would

[Solved] Temp root stock rom tether

I temp rooted with visionary v14 and downloaded both barnacle wifi tether and wireless tether and tried both and neither were able to connect to my ubuntu laptop. Both apps said they were broadcasting and has superuser permissions but my laptop couldn't get internet connection.
I assume this has something to do with the stock rom/kernal, but i'd like to know if I can wirelessly tether without getting perm root and flashing a custom rom (don't have the courage to attempt it yet)

Isnt there a stock wifi tether that you dont even need temp root to use?

Flashing a ROM is noob friendly and has great benefits! But that is the only way i know of wifi tethering without your system blocking it. ROMS come stock with a wifi tether setting that works everytime.

I know flashing roms are easy (I'm coming from the g1), but I don't have perm root yet, and id rather not mess with gfree until I have no other option because there are more steps to mess up.
But I guess I'll have to muster up the courage to perm root and flash cm7 or some sense rom.
P.S. does cm7 have fm radio support?

he should be able to tether with temp root as long as the temp root was actually successful... doesn't really have anything to do with custom roms.

yes, CM7 has the fm radio app.
check this thread out. and this one.
for the record, I was able to tether wirelessly on the stock froyo rom (granted, I was permarooted with gfree/rage, but again I don't think this should matter... if you're temp rooted, it should work unless something has changed in the past few months) with the wireless tether app. now I just use the built-in Cyanogen tethering solution.

Thanks guys, I'll try the newer wireless tether app and if that doesn't work I'll try gfree perm rooting.

It turns out all I had to do was get a new version of Wireless Tether to get it to work. I was using the old 2.0.2 version from my G1, so I updated to the 2.0.7 version.

[Q] tether w/o root?

Need some help. Have a work phone that I'd rather not root. Is there any way to get tethering to work after the latest update?? FoxFi worked before but now it is not working (blocked by AT&T). Also, Bluetooth and USB options are a no go because of the lack of permissions on the work laptop to install the pdanet client.
Do I have any other options?? I've looked around and everything seems to point to the answer being that you have to root the device. I was hoping for a non-root solution.

bump.
Anyone? Or is root my only option? I know a non-rooted stock ROM isn't really what XDA is about but I was hoping I would have something to test before having to root a work-owned phone.
