I just purchased the galaxy tab from sprint as a wifi only device. I put it on my bill since they are about to do away with it, lol.... but wondering can I tether from my ep4g? Do I need to root? And if I root can I just root for tether?
I am not new to rooting or android but I have never tethered so any insight on what you guys think is best would be appreciated. I may just add hotspot to my phone if all fails

I did that and it only gave me 3 options:
1. USB tethering
2. Bluetooth tethering
3. Help
I don't get the probable hotspot option.

Hehe, third times a charm? Read the sticky thread under Android Development. Click on this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1726558 and watch the video! It's step-by-step, so easy to do. Your answer is there, as I've told you three times now, in three separate threads, where you've asked the same exact question three times.

As of right now, the only way to get root is with the use of the computer as of yet.
Being that seems to work pretty well I doubt there will be development to a root method without a computer.
Hmm, thanks for your feedback

What about mobile Odin pro? Then use that to flash the recovery of your choice. The reboot to recovery and install the superuser script?

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Mobile odin requires root. So it can't be used to gain root.
Chainfire release a rooting method. I haven't tried it but have heard it works well. You still need Odin on a pc for any root procedure that I'm aware of.

Rooting is yes, only available via computer.

Just realized I didn't mention chsinfires method is called CF-auto root I believe. Its in original development.
Or you can also use the root66 method. Link to the fw thread in my sig.

You mentioned it was very important that you needed this for homework. Then your first question about it was about using it to play games online.

There is currently a bug in samsung kernel that will allow any app to obtain root even on non rooted devices without any prompts this could be potentially be very damaging if it's a malicious app
App to verify if you are affected https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lowlevel.exynosmembug
Temp fix apk *requires root though*

Isn't it how we accomplish root?

I believe previous exploits like super one click involved running the apk and commands were done in terminal and adb debug had to be checked off so the user should be well aware of it running. I'm not certain but I believe this one will allow an app to get root even on unrooted phones with out access to terminal so pretty much without the user knowing. Well any how I just prefer to be safe.
I rooted jb with it

It's an easier way to root than being tethered a computer and having to use odin. Especially with the jellybean leaks.
