USB Tether for Rooted EVO - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
What is the best way to USB tether my rooted EVO? I would like to tether to my PC which doesn't have wireless.
A free app would be best and I need access to secure sites.
Thanks!

I believe nearly all roms now have that native feature of the phone unlocked. You shouldn't need a third party app to do it. What rom are you running?
If you do want to use an app, you could try Easy Tether or PDAnet. I don't think either are free for the full version though.

I'm running the stock ROM... I couldn't decide on which one to use. I guess its time for me to pick one.
Thanks!

Does this ROM have USB tether: VirusROM Kingdom REVOlution?
I couldn't see a list of all the apps included.
thanks!

you could try this:

if the rom you have doesn't have the usb tether functional.

[Q] tethering

Iv'e been told Orange have disabled tether on the HTC Desire. I'm new to this, can anyone tell me how I can re-activate this facility?
Cheers
You could try barnacle from market, if you can't get native tethering to work. Barnacle allows for wifi tethering

Thanx..I'll check it out
Root and install custom rom. That's the way to go.
I'm on orange as well and nothing worked for me, none of the apps allowed tethering. It's something in oranges rom that prevents tethering.

[Q] Gingerbread and Wireless Tether

Do any of the gingerbread leaks work with wireless tether?
I don't know if it has to baked into the rom or if you just need root. If you just need root where can you find the .apk for it?
I don't run GB, so can't answer your question but am pretty sure you will need root to run wifi or wireless tether as this is the case on Froyo. If you are rooted, you can download .apk's for wifi and/or wireless tether from http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
Anyone have some experience with this?

[Q] android-wired-tether not working ?? other options? fixes?

I just got my Inc 2. GB 2.3.3. S-OFF'd and rooted.
I loaded up android-wired-tether (its what i used on my eris) and it wont work. WinXP sits and attempts to acquire IP for quite a while, eventually gets an IP but then cannot connect to the internet.
Anyone else have success with this app? or is there another USB tether app out there that is good?
is there a fix?
PdaNet is a good wired app. Or, you could try WiFi tether, excellent wirelesstether app. You'll have to Google it, its not available in the market

^^ what he said.
Do you have HTC sync installed ? I wanna say you have to have that installed on your computer for wired tether because it has drivers you need. Not 100% sure but its worth a try if you don't have it installed.
some dude hacked/fixed the wired tether app

so it works now. just a bummer the maintainers aren't maintaining it.

[Q] Rooting for Tethering

I have a Sprint EVO that I want to be able to tether to my Samsung Tablet. My question is, can I "just" root the phone and use an app from the market to tether?
I am not interested at this time downloading and using new ROMS, as I do not have the time right now to experiment with different ROMS.
I just want to keep my current stock ROM, but be able to tether.
Also, Does any one have experience with unrevoked and other similar programs to root? Again, I am going for ease and time!
Thanks~! All suggestions, comments, and ideas welcome!!

You can just root the phone. Also the root method you use will be determined by your firmware and android version. If your on 2.2 unrevoked is your option to root. If your on 2.3 revolutionary.io is your root method. If your 2.3.5 HTCdev.com is your root method

There was an APP called opengarden that you could do wifi tether, but I don't see it in the market anymore, and that could be that it doesn't work with GB I don't think.
All rooting methods are ez to do. Use an app called "wireless tether 2.0.7" which can be found on google.

Wireless tether for root users is the easiest and is a free app. It's no longer available in the market, you can download it at http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
Good luck!
Same thing i just said -_-

Wireless tether is still there, it's just that all the carriers block it from showing up (silly carriers). If you can find a device it'll install on, you should be able to pull the apk and install it on the other one.
You can google it and dl the apk ftom phone browser and install. Have to have unknown sources box checked.

[Q] USB tether

Can somebody tell me whether the native USB tethering works on any of the custom roms yet or do I need to rely on something like EasyTether? I've tried searching, but can't find anything specifically stating one way or the other on the Sprint Note 2.
we already have Wifi tether which is free... if you adamantly want usb tether the only way I know it's with apps like the one you mentioned
