I successfully rooted my A100 a few days after buying it.
Without ROM Manager installed, rooting is almost useless to me.
I want to at least be able to do a Nandroid backup.
Anyone have any success getting Rom Manager and Clockwork Recovery on their A100? If so, how?
Thanks!
+1 from me. I'd love to see a recovery of some sort with nandroid.
I am just waiting
Don't get the wrong idea, but I've been hoping to get this tab for Christmas. I've been trying to get familiar with android on my Linux computer and hopefully once I get my tab I can build a recovery. Not making any promises though!

just the fact that you're willing to try is great news.
To the OP, three good reasons to root: AdFree, Titanium Backup, and enabling ad-hoc connections on your Wi-Fi.
If one of you guys want a recovery THAT bad, here is a website that could either teach you to make your own recovery or you could send the tablet to him to make a recovery and he'll send it back. Go here. Thanks to BobZHome for providing the link.
Does anyone know if this device have a locked / encrypted bootloader? I might be able to port cwm to it but if the bootloader is locked I dont think it'll work unless someone finds some way to unlock/decrypt it.

Nevermind, answered my own question and the bootloader looks like a pain to crack! This wont be something an average developer could just compile, its not as simple as just looking at a set of build instructions and making it work like shown on koushes site you linked. Someone (smarter than me) will have to figure out how the a100 bootloader works and build a custom recovery based on their findings.
An example of this is the a500 recovery where they are using a custom script to generate an md5 descriptor for the boot image. Like someone said in another thread even the new a500 bootloader that comes with their 3.2 update hasnt been cracked yet.

Can you overclock and underclock this tab? And also can wireless tether from my phone work on this? Or is there a special thing you have to do in order for it to work? I would like to use it anywhere I went...
I haven't messed around with ad hoc stuff, but I can tell you we can't OC until we have an OC kernel.

I have connected to the web with this tablet through both an HTC Inspire running Cyanogen Mod and my new Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket running stock.

No OC/UV yet, but as far as wifi tether from phones, I use "Open Garden Wifi Tether" on my rooted thunderbolt to provide internet to my tablet, and my PC at home, even at the same time. You can find it free on the market. Only for rooted phones though. I use my dad's evo shift on occasion when he gets better signal than me, and his is not rooted, using the stock mobile hotspot app.
Oh, and my A100 is not rooted, so you should be able to use it anywhere.

How do you create profiles???
You need to be rooted and install setcpu, you can't over clock but you can under clock and set profiles which will let you save battery while doing things like listening to music and reading ebooks.

How far are we from seeing wireless tetherable kernels? Is there a reason we don't see them already? Anything I can do to help? Hope there is a solution soon!
I have no first hand experience (yet) but I thought that Android Wireless Tether worked, you just needed to tell it you were using a Nexus One or some malarkey like that.
You have to set it to ad hoc mode as well...my xoom can't detect it when I do that

i have wireless tether working just fine on stock kernel
wireless tether works fine untill you actually use it...te device thats using the connections gets rdirected to a verizon page prompting you to buy the tethering service. I head this was at the kernel level which would make sense, because my DX, OG Droid, and thunderbolt all tether no problems witout the redirct.

No, it does work, as long as you are rooted, set the device to nexus one, and use ad-hoc mode. Any other configuration redirects to verizon.

There was an article about verizon Wanting to charge for using their wireless tethering service... So you either pay or you download an app to do it... It requires a root phone though. I'm with rogers and tethering works well.

Yufice I made a post on general on how to work around it. I meant it when I said it works fine for me. I guess I was the only one that knew of a workaround untill I asked zero to post in development for me and test it out to make sure it wasnt a fluke that I got it working.

This set-up doesnt work on my R800x. To get it to work I have to set the devise to a CDMA device. If I set it to a GSM devise I cant connect to it. So if anyone else is having an issue getting it to work on the r800x try setting it to a CDMA devise.
I have mine set to nexus one and it works I tether daily

I set the latest version 3.0 beta 5 or whatever to device profile droid X(CDMA) and it works just fine. The only caveat is that limits you to WEP encryption so be sure to use mac filtering.

^this, PLEASE
I'm on a verizon r800x rooted and I desperately want to use wi fi tethering....for free!
I've tried every combo with the app "Wifi tether" (the main popular one) with regular phone models and "CDMA" models (supposed to be the ones that work) to no avail!
It always clocks in like .4 kbs of data then stops...and then verizon pop up comes up if i try to access internet through the phone....and computer can't even connect to the hotspot
any tips/advice?

You'll want to remove the bcm4329.ko file. I forget where it is located. Give me a minute to find.
Yeah - delete bcm4329.ko from /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko. Back it up to your sdcard first.
You'll need root, but this will keep your wifi from working - however, I am not 100% sure it won't break anything else. More like 99% sure. Be sure someone else confirms this before you do so.
To restore your wifi, take the backup of bcm4329.ko on your sdcard, put it back in that directory listed above, and reboot.
that did it! thank you very much captainreynolds!

I am having to do the same thing for my kids for their phones. I have a Kyocera Milano, and an HTC evo shift. What is the file I need to remove to disable the wifi for those phones. Thanks a ton for the help, have been searching for hours how to do this. The bcm listed above is not on the kyocera phone.
You can try a different approach by using Avast! Security found in Play Store. It provides antivirus protection, it also has a firewall that you is customizable by app and type of access; Wifi, mobile, roaming. You can set up a pin number for security. This gives the flexibility of allowing some apps to use Wifi or not. Check it out as an alternative of no Wifi at all.

Thanks for the advice...will check it out this am.
Avast working great...Thanks!
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/

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.

Things you will need:
1) rooted phone
2) root explorer app (paid)
3) sqlite editor (paid - root explorer will direct you to it)
*** Now that cm9 is available I wanted to update this posting to let you know that these instructions are for stock gingerbread as well as the custom gingerbread roms. Cm9 has this option natively and you won't need to do this on cm9. Just want to save anyone from having problems with cm9. Now if your on gingerbread, go for it. ***
Now go to this directory with root explorer:
/data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
(You will have an option to open it with the internal viewer or SQLite editor, choose SQLite editor)
Select secure
Now locate tether_entitlement_check_state and change the value to 0 then save and reboot.
Now you can use the built in tethering without the pop-up saying that you don't have a tethering plan.
I hope this helps you guys out.

This is exactly why I'm using the ClockWorkMod app. I've already been kicked off my unlimited data plan once for "unauthorized tethering" and it was hell getting back on the plan. The loophole to do so is no longer available, so I really don't want to get kicked again.
I'll have to wait and see how it works out for others. But good job on showing us the way to enable it. Thumbs up!
If I'm not mistaken, the tether_entitlement_check_state will not be available in the database until first attempt enabling tethering.
interesting thread. moved to DEV as this could be handy for future development.
the only disclaimer I'll put in is that it's at your own risk if you break any terms of service from your carrier....

after looking threw files on the new s3 i found a way to unlock your wifi from tmobile an there 14.99 fee for using data you already pay for
so to start you must be rooted
download Titanium Backup from market (free version is fine)
after you grant root access to Titanium Backup click all the oks an continue bottons uptop in the center click backup/restore button an scroll down till you see direct share manager 1.3.2click it then click backup (just incase somthign goes wrong) then go back an click Un-install in red it will ask are you sure just keep click yes it will ask two times then after that close out an you should be good to go
got this idea from a old s2 post just the file was a different name
Hope it works for everyone
