Hey yall, I'm trying to unroot my phone because for some reason, Whenever I try a new rom, any and all tethering is broken. It works on my current rom (Froyo sense) but I wanna give some of the new ones a try.
Tethering is the biggest thing for me on my phone cause that is what I use as my internet connection on a daily basis.
So basically, I figure rerooting may help my issue, any help?
Rooting and unrooting won't change that. Have you looked for workarounds?

What do you mean by workarounds? Take CM7 for example, Although it is known the Wireless Tether app doesn't work on CM7. I tried using the native tethering and barnacle with no results. This is after multiple restarts and wipes, etc.
I figure that a clean wipe and reroot may help. Sometimes reformatting a computer helps issues, why shouldn't this be the same?
Both wireless and USB tethering work for me with the built in options

I'm not sure why it happens, but whenever I tether, wifi or USB with CM, within 5-10 minutes my Inc loses its data connection. Texts and calls still work though. I've had this issue with every version of CM I've tried. I've tried using Wireless Tether but it still happens. The only tethering app that doesn't cause this to happen is pdaNet, but I don't want to pay for https access. Any ideas as to why this happens?

You might try the cyanogenmod.com forums with this question. I have heard of problems with incredible,CM6.0.2, and wireless tether for root. You might try a different security method.

try the latest version from this page. This is what I'm using and it works fine.
Tested this on 9-11 and 9-13 nightly builds.

Kernel?
I read elsewhere in this forum and others that a kernel can make the tethering wonky. To be fair, I've not had any issue with mine - yet - but the day is still young...
Tethering not working on G2? I just replaced my N1 with this G2, I asummed that I would be able to tether just fine after installing CM 6.1.1 but both wireless tether apk and barnacle say they are broadcasting but my pc doesn't even show it on the list of available networks.
If I use the stock tethering app my pc picks it up but can't use the internet, same thing with wired tether!
It isn't the kernal because I have tried the stock kernal, the cm kernel, and pershoot's kernel...any help would be appreciated!

Anyone? This is a pretty big deal for me

Native tethering on CM6.1.1 works fine for me... Try clearing cache/dalvik and reflashing the ROM
NOTE: It takes a minute or two for the PC to get a internet connection from the phone, if that helps...
Thanks for the response, the problem isn't that the pc isn't getting a data connection, the problem is that it isn't picking up the fact that there is a network available

There's an issue with tethering on Mac OS X if you are using USB tethering
I'm on a pc...and to be honest, I care more about wireless than wired... I tried wiping the cache through Clockwork and it is still a no go, I have also tried 2 different roms.
Assuming all steps were done correctly, could it have an a manufacturing defect? That you exchange for a new one under warranty?
Hey everyone, i know nightly qquestions arent supposed to be asked, but i consider myself a pretty experienced user and still cant figure this out.
Whenever i install a relativly recent version of gbread on my phone it completely breaks tethering. Ive tried reinstalling the gb cm kernel and reinstalling wireless tether app...the last known working rom for me is build 45 of the pre- nightly gridlock builds

Have you tried the native wireless tethering hotspot, works for me on CM7.

Last I heard, there conflicts if you install a 3rd party tether app since tethering is already bundled into the build. Uninstall any 3rd party tether apps, reboot and try the native tethering app, it should work.

When you flash the new nightly, are you mounting /system first? I've found that if I don't mount /system before flashing, wifi and wifi tether sometimes don't like to work. (Wifi tether looks like it's working, but when you connect to it, you get a limited connection and no internet connectivity)
Hey, just tried reflashing after mounting system and still no luck..what kernel should i be using?

CM7 doesnt work with Wireless Tether use the native Hotspot that comes with CM7 found in menu/setting/wireless&network/tethering&portable hotspot. OriginalGabrial already said this:

Same here. I ended up downloading Barnacle from the market and that works well for me.
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.

tethering issues
was always able to usb tether until installin a non-sense rom
Had the same problem with every non-sense rom ive tried ?
is there something i need a driver or something maybe i might be missing?
Running old win xp if that matters
I use a USB tether app called Easytether. It's my sole means of internet for my computer and it isn't working with CM. Can anybody help me get this working or explain why it won't work? I tried checking Tethering in the pull down menu but it stays off. Went in to settings to try to check it, still a no go. Uninstalled Easytether thinking maybe then I'd be able to enable tethering, no go. Reinstalled Easytether, tried it again, still no good. I don't have a wireless card for my desktop, so I really need this working.
This app worked flawlessly on stock and on non-AOSP ROMs.
its most likely because asop has different drivers then the stock roms so it prob doesnt support those drivers yet. try going on the irc and see if they might be able to do anything about it.
I haven't used that particular app, or CM on this phone, so I can't offer any ideas as to why it's not working for you. I would recommend WiFi Tether for Root Users from the Play Store. I've never had a problem with it...

I don't have a wireless card. This app ran me a one time fee of $10 as well, so I'd like to get it working again haha.
So you need to tether via usb. Gotcha. I had that working a while back, lemme check a few things out & I'll let you know if I figure out a working solution.

I've been talking with Shelnutt2 and Artlan, they're trying to get it resolved. The built in tethering for CM 10.1 isn't working on the LS970 currently either. I'm sure they'll have it resolved shortly.
PDANet seems to be working for me via usb, so you could always try that out. No guarantees it will work on Cm (I'm running lifeless), but I don't see why it wouldn't.

Easytether worked for me on Lifeless as well, but we're going from stock based ROMs to AOSP. I'm still having issues getting this running. Going to check in IRC and see if the Devs can help. Built in tethering on CM also isn't working for me.
