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

I had the unrevoked and wireless tether on my phone, and I thought when I did the upgrade it would not mess with my root, but it did. I just want to know what is a easy way to root my EVO and get the free wireless tether after the OTC upgrade. Is there a root job like unreoked that just always you to root your phone just for tethering, or should I totally root my phone, and if so, how easy is it to do it.
there is something called simple root, its an app that will basically root your phone for you. Check it out in the dev section. Never tried it before so I can't comment on it.

So I just attempted to use the wired tethering through FroYo. I got an error 67. Is there a certain thing I am supposed to do to get wired tethering to work through stock FroYo?
Or, do I need to use something like PDANet?

Well, there are several options. If you don't have root, PDANet, EasyTether, etc. are your best (only?) option and require installing a bit of software on the intended computer in addition to the phone; with root, you can additionally use apps like Wired Tether for root users, which should only need to install drivers on the computer.

Thanks. Well, now that 2.2 is rooted, I can just root and get the Wired Tether for root users.
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.

Prior to upgrading to 4.4.2 I was able to tether my device by modifying the APN and using the hotspot widget. After several attempts to recreate these settings I am unable to. My device is currently not rooted. Does anybody have a working method?
Also freeze tethering provision in system apps and it will work with the widget.

Thiis method is working for me but requires root.
download the wifi tether router on playstore. it cost less than 2 bucks and its all worth it
I was looking for a non-root method until there is a knox safe option for rooting. May have to just trip the counter and root

Nothing is safe!! Tmobile or the insurance would care less about Knox being tripped. Wifi tether router, works awesome.
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.
