Wifi Tethering After Root possible?

I rooted my phone and since I'm like everyone else and don't want to pay 30 a month for wifi tethering, I downloaded 2 apps that do that: Barnacle's and the other wifi tethering app. Neither of them work, anyone have any ideas how to get this accomplished? I figured that since we have root now and there are netfilters in the kernel that we shouldn't have a problem.

I can't get Wifi Tethering for Root Users to work either

Try different versoins of wifi tether. I know on the hero side 1.6 was the only one that worked

to clarify, this is with android 2.1 using the userdebug RUU, not stock 2.1 or froyo 2.2, right?
now that you have ADB access, when you open one of the apk files to test it, can you monitor logcat and paste the results/errors it throws back here for us.
those of us w/o an EVO yet, less than 24 hrs, can try our best to help troubleshoot and give recommendations. hopefully it won't be too difficult!

just throwing out ideas to help speed up the process, not sure how much detail will help them?
might want to include version number of the userdebug rooted RUU we're using and/or radio version?

Joey, give me a few minutes to figure this out and then I'll post the logcat.

When I said that Wireless Tether for Root Users didn't work for me, I was on the Froyo custom ROM with root.

It shouldn't be working on the rooted stock 2.1 either. If you get it working, please let us know how you did it!

as far as I have read, when you test this in normal android mode you need root access.
you'll have root access in normal android mode if you flash flipz's STOCK ROM with root from the custom recovery.

wait does it work for the Stock Rooted Evo Rom posted in the forum? just the standard sense ui rom with superuser ?

wireless tether works

With the [Kernel]netarchy-toastmod, updated for 2.2 - Version 3.7.6c
And wireless tether 2.0.5 pre 6 however the download speeds are very sporadic so it takes a few min to load each web page. Does anyone know what else we can do to the kernel to get this fully working or do we just have to wait for source?

This is the most i got, may be with the kernel source we wil get more!

You should probably list what ROM you are running, and maybe change the title because wifi tether doesn't work with all 2.2 ROMs, and Netarchy's kernel doesn't work on all 2.2 Roms either. People who are may want more info than you are offering.

Nevermind my questions- I got it to work!!! searched computer for "tether" and it pulled multiple files from my copied sd card titianium backups- found tether 2.05 pre 4 and it worked. thanks for the leads.

I've been waiting on flashing 2.2 until Wireless Tether works.
So fresh3.0.1 and netarchy 3.7.6c kernal seem to be working? How are the download speeds? Is anything else broken when you flash the kernal? I heard that the camera might not work after the kernal flash.

Been running it since last night on fresh 3.1.0.0 and everything's working except google goggles.Camera will only show that its taking pictures in 3mp after you flash the kernel but as long as you have your camera set to 8mp before you flash,it will still capture in 8mp.

Exactly! It's unmodified HTC release of GB in zip flashable file via bootloader.
I hope rmk will pick this up and release rooted version ;-)

I went bit further and flashed system partition along with some others As I thought, this is an test ROM, so it has SU, just to let you know.

If you mean T-Mobile Wifi Calling App, then no, but it is Sense and it does have su, not an superuser app. (adb shell gives you root permissions)

[Q] Anyone updated DHD radio to 12.48.60.23U_26.08.04.07_M3??

haha didn't check the date! Thanks for the heads up! I'm having a bit of difficulty finding a radio that gives good battery life. What radio would you recommend..?

I've found that the newest official Radio_12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 (from the link in your signature) gives me the best battery life and I've tried almost all radios.

Nice1 thanks. I used it a few weeks ago and then changed for some reason, prob just to see what else was out there. I recall it being excellent.
So, is the radio's performance dependant on the ROM in way way? Also, what RIL are you using?

Not really no and almost all roms are based on the official gingerbread update and the radio came with it so the roms should be optimized for it anyway. RILs should always match the radio you're using, but the newest custom roms should already include the matching RILs for the radio I suggested.

THX I NEED it

the newest radio is the best mate...

Just posted this update in the Recommended ROM/RADIO/RIL/KERNEL Combinations thread..
Flashed the Telus radio: 12.35d.60.140fP_26.06.03.24_M2 and it's using 3-4mA per minute in stand-by. It's pretty much the best I've tested so far. I'm going to stick with it: http://www.multiupload.com/4CQ8919NO6

what ril are you using with that radio? This one 12.35d.60.140fP_26.06.03.24_M2
the 1003g one? I;ve tried flashing that ril and cannot get it to work?

The RIL's in my signature.
Remember, you have to mount /system in cwm before you flash it. Just look in one of the menus within cwm and you'll see mount /system. Select it and then flash the RIL as your would flash a rom or anything else, from your SD card.

Samsung SPH-L900 KOT49H.L900VPUCOH3 Rooting & ROMs

What is the safest way to root my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 ( SPH-L900 ) KOT49H.L900VPUCOH3 running 4.4.2 ?
Any suggestions on the best ROM to use ? The phone is currently 100% stock.
Thanks

The rooting process is covered at the thread I've linked below.

As for which ROM to use... I like to stay stock but with root, no knox and deodexed. If you favor AOSP, there's many to choose from in the development sections.

Thank you ... worked perfectly on OH3 ! Took your suggestion on staying with root/no knock/deodexed. Know of any fix for the extra spaces bug with text suggestion ?
