Use a rooted Evo to tether an iPad2

A friend's Evo was having issues so I updated it w/o thinking. It was used all the time w/ android-wifi-tether to get a wifi iPad2 online. Is there anyway I can still get that iPad2 online? It looks like there's no root yet and all tethers that don't require root are usb/bluetooth.

Yea, pay for the tether from Sprint.

ugh, pda net has a tablet version...something tells me it won't work though.

If the EVO still has s-off just flash amon_ra and toss in a good Rom then you can use the WiFi tether.

I have my ipad 1 running on wireless tether from my evo

Best thing to do now is give him your ipad and you take the evo, a good gesture of saying I'm sorry.

[Q] Is there a wireless hotspot hack for eco5?

Just to make a short story shorter, I recently went back to eco5 because I found it to be the most stable. I used the wireless hotspot hack on eg22 and eh17. Just wondering if there is a hotspot hack for eco5 or anything that could be used to do what wireless hotspot does.
I do believe last time I was on ec05 I used barnacle wifi, which was as fast as dial up, so anything but barnacle please.

The hack allows you to use the built in "Sprint Hotspot" instead of having to use a beta version of the WifiTether app. It works great as well. The hack was made compatible,with some ROMs. Our devs and themers have been adding it as well

Once you use the hotspots hack nothing else will compare. The only problem I had with wifi tether is the phone would become very hot quicky.

Google "SRF1.2HotspotHack.zip XDA," works flawless with 4g. Install with CWM.

Lol does it ever get hot! When I use it I take my batt cover off, lay it screen down and aim a fan at it, seriously.

What kernel are you running? I am on Rebirth w/Genocide kernel and I get about zero heat.

I'm using genocide, on sfr, and I get major heat too.
Also, there is a other wifi tether app on the market called Open Garden. I haven't been able to make much use of it, so I can't give you any recommendation on it, but it is there.
Sent from a secret underground bunker

Heat is always an issue with tethering. You are using the phone's 3G or 4G radio 100% of the time. This is why some tethering apps also display battery temperature.

I use open garden and it works great. It even allows my ipod to connect to my phone vs when I used the wifi tether that is included in most roms would not allow ipod to connect to phone.

What I do to eliminate the heat issue is to plug it into a wall charger or usb port and this will do 2 things 1, keep the battery from getting hot
2 keep the phone charged while your tethering, the last thing you want is to run out of battery after you've tethered god forbid you wanted to order a pizza and had no juice to make the call,, that's just scary.

Haha true, but most corporate pizza places let you order online nowadays

There is one available, QBKing77 has a "how to" as well on youtube which includes the link for the flashable zip. As for the heat, it is what it is, I use "System Panel App" as my task killer, which has system monitor so I can check batt temp, but there really isn't much you can do to prevent it, just keep a eye on it- good luck

I'm using the one for srf1.2...works great. Not sure if it'll work w/o the srf rom. There's not one listed for just ec05, but srf is based on ec05 (up to you if you wanna try it w/o it). I've used open garden, wireless tether...yada, yada, yada. This hack is the best by far, imo. Qbking77 has a "how to" on youtube with the links for the zip.

USB 4G Tether

Wanted to share this with anyone who isn't aware. We can tether our ET4G on 4G but it requires USB and a 3rd party app. I tested it tonight with the free version of EasyTether and it works like a charm. Not personally interested in spending $10 for the full app but to some it may be worth it.

I haven't tested Klink but it's only $4 and it may work as well as a cheaper alternative.

Sweet, checking that out now. I see the free version doesn't allow https. I'll have to download the app to see how much the full version costs because I don't see it listed in the market.

To use these tethering method doesn't required the phone to be rooted, right? Also, will I be charged if I try to use it and can sprint figure out that I am tethering for free? I don't want to get a bill for hundreds or even thousands of dollars. How safe it is to tether undetected and are lots of people doing it for free with no penalty? I would like to tether for free but am just too afraid of getting caught and charged for it.

To be honest with you I used to have AT&T and now I have sprint and i've never once got a txt or anything in the mail telling me to stop. On AT&T I was running Cyanogen Mod and on my ET4G i'm running Calkulin's which has NoCIQ. If you aren't familiar with NoCIQ it basically makes it so sprint can't tell how your phone is using the data.
I wouldn't trust tethering if you're running a stock rom, even if the dev of the software says it's safe.

I think you might want to quantify your statement regarding NoCIQ. I've yet to see any published report from any reliable source showing it being used for data measurement. All a carrier has to do is look for unusual spikes in data volume.

I've had an android on sprint for almost 2 years now, always rooted, always tethering, always stock rom. Ciq still on there. They have never told me anything. And I always use 3rd party apps for tethering. I honestly don't think they know/care. At the end of the day, it works for the most of us, and we don't really abuse it; thus, they really shouldn't have a problem with it. They're bull**** hot spot app from sprint is ridiculously slow anyway. There's a huge difference in speed... its almost like they want us to find our own way of tethering lol.
That's my rationale and I'm sticking to it.

You may be right.. but they would have to prove what is using the data.. I have a torrent app on my phone I download stuff with and that uses a ton of data with out being tethered.

If you're rooted Android Wired USB Tether works great with 4G and it's free.

running calkulins 2.0.1a rom w/ ek02 modem and usb tether works with 4g

I've been using Wireless Tether for Root Users, it's free and works with 4G. I'm new to the 4G scene, having recently upgraded from a CDMA Hero but I've used it for years without problem. The only downside to it is it will read as an adhoc network.
I have no idea how the data looks to Sprint, I have yet to see them care.

Funny..I came in here to ask the same thing. Wifitether works but it doesn't broadcast the SSID properly. Not even by typing the name in manually can you connect. So, no...it doesn't work in JB. But I also would like tether to work.

I tried all afternoon with many different apps to get some sort of tether working, and was unsuccessful with anything other than "Klink Tether" which is a paid app in the Play store. It is a USB tether and it works very well. Highly recommended.

Cm10. Wifi tether worked on my gs3 if I remember correctly.
Which cm10 won't be too much longer for an alpha for us.

EasyTether works fine. I'm using it for years on all of my phones. It never failed me. I'm using it right now as a matter of fact.

Yes.
Or someone mentioned BT tethering with different app. I don't know since I don't use it.

EasyTether works. It's a $10 app, but there is a free version. Free version blocks all https websites, however.
Just to be clear, this is a USB tether. I don't know of any hotspot hacks yet.
EasyTether also requires a program running on your computer.

II think it used to be cheaper. I don't remember how much I paid. I think it's worth it though. Besides... not so many other options at this time and still much less than one month paying for official hotspot.

You know whats funny....(not really) is while at the Sprint store, every phone that was being sold, the salesperson said. You do understand that illegally tethering will get your contract cancelled, do you understands? .
Asked me too and I was like, huh, tethering, I just go to Starbucks :silly:? (hoping he wouldn't hit the big fat tethering button on my home screen (old phone) he was holding. whoops....

I wonder how exactly can they detect someone tethering?

It's a violation of your contract, so yeah, they "reserve the right to terminate". Same can be said for a lot of things that happen on this forum. Just don't abuse it and they won't bother you.

Will I need to pay the ETF if they terminate the contract?

USB tether is built into the phone. Has Sprint blocked it? It doesn't seem to work for me.

[Q] Tethering to PS3 does not work

So i have a T-Mobile GS3 and its rooted running Deviants Development Frosty Jelly bean. :good::good::good:
and i am using a moded app fo WifiTether. its called WifiTether_TrevE_Mod_11_22_2012.apk (Credit to the Techfanatic9 guy he showed me how to do it) the app runs great and actually i have no problem when i tether to my mac on my windows i had to download a firefox and chrome mod called used agent and change the setting to googlebot. then my internet worked perfectly. since i have T-Mobile i have unlimited 4g and that is great, because im am saving lots of money now that i have tethered rooting.
however when i try to plug it into my ps3 it does not work. at the beginning it did and then it stopped working. do you guys have any idea as to why and what can i do to fix this problem?

Some of these custom roms the devs make on here don't have tethering working i noticed too and the rom i would recomend for you which is guaranteed to have tethering working is the Xtremeperia rom for the galaxy s3 by Jovy in the android development section. I can totally understand your frustration where your other devices try to connect to your phone but they don't get anywhere. I have all you can eat true 4g from tmobile so i enjoy tethering.

Thats why. Its impossible to change a user agent on the PS3. You are completely out of luck with that plan. T-Mobile is blocking the PS3 UA.

Yea all you can eat 4g is hands down awesome. Nothing compares to it. Its even faster than the att uverse I had. Could you give me the link for that rom. I looked for it and could not find it. I want to test it out.

Only way I could get it to work is by purchasing a VPN client.

Amazon EC2 micro open vpn free
Amazon ec2 micro open vpn > open vpn android > trevE mod wifi tether > laptop (no UA change)

i run CM10 stable and i reflashed an old linksys router with dd wrt software and turned it into a repeater then i connect it to my phone and tether. i run my ps3, tf700, desktop and other phones off of it.. havent had an issue with cm10 and tethering.

I've done the same.. I've tried VPN as well but no luck.. I've done it all. To setting APN app to system app, then deleting APN's and restoring from the given "T-Mobile APN" xml file thats here on XDA.. but still no luck.. I'm running T-Mo's Note 2.. Of course i can get the laptop/desktop's to work because of the UA but other than that no luck on my end...
Maybe a different VPN app? I'm thinking if theres a way to change the phone somehow, instead of messing with the PSN or PS3's UA... hmm..
I haven't confirmed the USB tether to computer with router fix yet.. Seeing as my phone won't turn on USB tethering for the life of it.. :/ I can flash DD-WRT to my router if it helps.. any suggestions?
EDIT: Also, I'm on the unlimited 4G plan as well. I've also changed ROM's and no luck.. Running Jedi X8, but going to try other ones that may work better with Tethering.. (I've also tried MIUI as well.. the most current one didn't have any luck either)
