I had a couple of questions. First off, I'm running 2.2 and I'm rooted so I was wondering if I did a factory reset on my phone would I need to re-root the device? As for the second question, I'm trying to figure out why I can't get Barnacle WiFi Tether or Wireless Tethering for Root Users to work with my Inc, I've searched several forums and people say it's 2.2, they say it works fine, they say make sure you don't have WEP enabled, but strangely the D2 that I own works just fine with Barnacle. Any advice from anyone who's gotten these apps to work? I messed around with the duns to try the 3G Mobile Hotspot, and decided I liked the others better because they say how much data I've been using so I (think) I changed them back properly. Thanks in advance, and sorry for the wall of text!

Seems since upgrading to cm7, I hafta run wireless tether twice to get it to work...the first time I run it I get the limited or no connectivity on XP, but if I stop then restart tethering it works fine from there.
Has anyone else seen this and if so is there a way to fix it?
same problem here. never works the first time, always works the second time.
but the built in tether app never works and i would like a fix for that as well so i can access it from the toggle menu.
Built in tether app seems to work for me, but I prefer wireless tether for the data counter and access control...
Anyone ever figure this out? I saw a few ppl mention it in the nightlies discussion but didn't see a solution...
Up top again...
Not sure if this belongs in the ROM specific category or what..
Rooted using Revolutionary and flashed Synergy RLS 1 whilst on vacation. Today is first day back at work and cannot get wireless tether to pass data. Will connect using stock app included with rom, or barnacle, or open garden.
Have tried switching my network type to adhoc strictly, or access point.
I had barnacle working fine, but I had hardware issues with my old evo ( the usual, bad speaker, bad micro usb port, battery life started to suck). So I unrooted, sent it back, rooted the new one, and I can't get any wifi tether apps to pass data.
I did search the forum but could not hash out a clear solution....
I purchased easy tether pro; I guess I can use that via hardwire in the meantime....that's the way I was doing it before the usb port crapped out.
The stats:
Android 2.3.3
htc sense 2.1
pri 2.15_003
Kernel 2.6.35.10-gc0a661b
Help greatly appreciated. Apologies if I left out any info....

Have you tried to simply reload the rom. You may of just had a bad flash.... thats the first thing I would try if something is nothing working as it should
Try a different kernel, such as freedom

Is it likely that *none* of the wifi tether products on the market are working on my device? I can understand if one works and one does not; I was running MIkFroyo and could not get wireless tether to fire there either. Barnacle, however, worked flawlessly.
How does one know if they had a bad flash?
Any other suggestions? Everything else seems to be working just fine; I'd rather not have to re-load all my apps....
I had the same problem with tether on 2.1 sense with HTC kernel. Flashing freedom v.9 fixed my issue.
You don't have to reload all your apps when flashing another kernel.

OK. I'm game for updating kernel. How do I do it?
The strange thing is that I have a dual boot netbook (xp and linux mint).
Wireless tether works fine with Mint.
For this reason, I was guessing it would have to be a network config issue with xp.
Wouldnt this be correct?
edit: solved. I have no idea how I did it, but it works now w/no reflash or kernel tweaks/updates. Weird.

Anyone else having issues with wireless tethering? I have tried multiple ROMS including Random 3.3, CleanGB 1.0.3, and SleeperRom. The hotspot Hack used to work brilliantly for me but about a week ago I started having issues where my ipad would connect for about 5 minutes on first start of the tethering, then after about 3-5 mins it would start flashing the connected icon (like it was connecting and disconnecting from the hotspot). Other wifi connections work just fine (example the one at my house).
I have also tried barnacle and wifi-tether beta 11 for root. Those don't seem to be able to connect at all. (Could not join network message for barnacle, connect briefly then disconnect for wifi tether)
Any help is greatly appreciated as I use the tether to watch hulu and netflix while at work and I have been bored the past few days.
Since it is on every ROM and every tether app, is it possible it is something in your Ipad? Never had a problem tethering from Froyo to CM7. Try Odining back to stock, root and tether. If it works there move forward testing at each stage. You may have bad data somewhere.

I thought it might have been the iPad also except that all the other wifi connections I have tried work like a charm and stay connected. I am at stock EI22 right now so I will get it rooted and try again to see what happens.
Are there any system logs or anything I can look at to see if the broadcast is going in and out or something on the epic?
You can try running logcat. It is an app in the market. It logs all operations.
Might have resolved it...
I did a clean ODIN back to stock EC05, then ODIN to a rooted EC05, then ODIN the CWM 5.
I flashed CleanGB 1.0.5 MTD and attempted to tether with default settings (enabling security) which i think defaults to WPA Tkip. that didnt work (connect then immediate disconnect then when I attempted to connect again it gave failed to join message.)
Finally I switched security to WPA2 AES and connected the iPad. it has been connected for a few minutes now so hopefully it stays connected.
Thanks for the help.
TLDR: Switch security on Hotspot Hack to WPA AES and tether worked.
Nice job! Glad you got it working.

My wife's just got a tablet so wants to get it connected via her Wildfire.
We tried turning it on last night but it's not working properly - the hotspot functionality itself seems be enabled properly, but in Wireless and Networks, the text under the 'Mobile network' option keeps cycling between 'Connected' and 'Use phone for data connection...'.
The text 'Wi-Fi hotspot active' keeps appearing and disappearing from the notification area.
We appear to be able to successfully connect the tablet via wifi to the Wildfire but there's no internet access.
The handset is completely stock and unbranded (Froyo, build 2.22.405.1). Internet access in general is fine and my wife's data plan specifically allows tethering (GiffGaff UK, using a Gigabag).
Has anyone else encountered this issue and found a way around this? Am willing to start rooting and flashing other ROMs if it will solve the problem.
for tethering try the Barnacle wifi tethter app from market - works for me
I'll give that a try when I get home and report back here.
Have you ever tried it using the in-built functionality and either found it to work or not? Considering I've not had problems with my own handsets (previously a Desire, now a Sensation) it seems odd that I can't get it to work on my wife's Wildfire.
I used the built in one on stock rom with no problems at all on 2 wildfires, I used to use all mine then leech from the girlfriends. Could it be a problem with her apn setting? Maybe call customer service and check its set correctly for tethering.
Personally I'd tell her its broke though and flash it like I did the girlfriends purely because I'm a flashaholic!!

Just in case anyone was wondering (or for the benefit of future searchers)... I finally got the Hotspot working after I installed a custom ROM (DK Custom Froyo v4.7 - I didn't want anything too different to Stock).
Custom kernels etc. didn't work (in fact, the one I tried destabilised the handset), neither did other options such as Barnacle on the stock ROM.
Thanks everyone for trying.
Hi to everyone.
I would like to know how to tether with this phone. I have the phone rooted already and tried a couple of third party apps but none seem to work. Tried PDA(Foxfi) when not rooted did not worked and then rooted the phone and tries Wifi Tether and none of the profiles or combinations of options seem to work for this phone. I really spent quite some time fooling a round with different options to no avail. I haven't tried flashing any roms because their seems not to be to much development going on for this unit. The other reason is I need this phone to work 100% percent because this is my work's phone. I have an unlimited data account with AT&T and use to have a Sony experia TL and everything worked great until they changed my phone at work. Now I am stuck with this phone with no tethering. Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks
I got tethering to work with this app codegooglecom/p/android-wifi-tether/ which I think you mentioned above. You just have to go to Settings>change device profile> and scroll down until you see HTC Rezound (LTE/CDMA/gsm). Restart the app and it should work. Edit:I forgot to mention that I am on JMZTotemC2 v3 ROM so it might not work for you on stock, but I don't see why it wouldn't
If that doest here is a universal method that works for all devices
