I just purchased the galaxy tab from sprint as a wifi only device. I put it on my bill since they are about to do away with it, lol.... but wondering can I tether from my ep4g? Do I need to root? And if I root can I just root for tether?
I am not new to rooting or android but I have never tethered so any insight on what you guys think is best would be appreciated. I may just add hotspot to my phone if all fails

I rooted my phone with revolutionary so I could use the wifi hotspot. Im alerted that I have a update. I try to install and I get and error. I did do a backup and restored the block buster app that I unstalled. The only other issue is I did move some apps over to the sd card, but I cant remember what ones I moved. Could that cause the issue im having and is there any way to fix it so I can get my up date.
Thanks

Install FoxFi or Wifi Tether from the market should work. Both work fine in my TMobile S2(flashed to same Mr. X's ROM).

lol tethering? it depends.. personally im rooted with a custom rom that has tethering built in that just works.

Dont need root for usb tether.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
If you want Wifi Tethering you don't need root either, try Foxfi.
Check with Sprint in order to make sure that you don't break your contract though. Obviously if it does break your contract, don't use it.
Foxfi does not work when updated to ics

That is exactly my problem as well. Foxfi was working fine until the stupid update to ICS. Anyone know any other ways to get free wifi from my phone now?

Hello,
Wife is wanting to get me a Sprint Galaxy S3.
My current phone is rooted Sprint Epic 4G Touch running Calkulin ROM. Charging port does not work, but I have spare batteries and a wall charger to charge them. I was curious to know if the S3 can be rooted, wifi hotspot works with the Android OS itself or via a third party apk, and if a custom ROM can be flashed on it.

New recoveries for new phones that won't mount storage!!
Thank you for the information. Which ROM is the closest to stock that has Native Sprint Hotspot Hack built in? Or is there a zip file that i can flash to the rooted stock Samsung ROM through CWM Recovery? Thank you in advance for all of your help.
Running into the E: can't open/mount error.

The Hotspot Mod is HERE. If you want a Rom that is very close to Stock, you can check out The People's Rom. Or if you prefer a Rom that can either look Stock, very Themed, or anything in between, check out MOAR.
Thank you again. Is the process for installing the hotspot mod the same as installing a ROM?
nevermind. i think i got it.

Just wipe Cache, and Flash .
Flashed the file, but forgot to do the cache. The phone has been out of the box for less than 24 hours.

Just check to make sure it works. If it does, your all good.
TEAM MiK
MikROMs Since 3/13/11
Had some scary moments this morning at 7:30am. Phone started to be unresponsive and widgets would replicate themselves on the home screen. I cleared the davlik cache. Reboot the phone and experienced the same behavior. I also flashed the rooted Android OS zip file. Same behavior. I ended up doing a factory/data reset and phone was back to normal. Verified that device still had root and the Hotspot mod appears to still be part of the Android OS. I will verify that later on. Not sure what happened as the phone was working fine up until this morning. any ideas?
I think I have figured what was causing the strange behaviour. I used Titanium Backup to freeze what i thought was the stock voicemail program, since I use Google Voice. I unfroze it and froze the correct one. I will do a backup in Clockwork Recovery just to be safe.
