I can't use my captivate as modem!!! Help!!! - Samsung Captivate Glide

Hi guys. I have a problem with this device: I would like to use this device as a modem (I live in Italy, and I've am italian card), only that it is a mobile brand AT & T, and every time he tells me it needs a AT & T sim card...
Is there a solution? I'm forced to install a custom rom, or is there another way?
Thank you!

At the very least, I think you'll have to root and flash the tethering fix (found in the dev section). That should clear everything up and it shouldn't mess with your current rom.

Thank you so much! I'll try!

Using as a hotspot
Not sure I understand exactly what you are asking?
If the phone doesn't get service with your sim card then you need to unlock it.
If the phone gets service/internet but you just can't tether then use foxfi. No root needed.

Root not required. If you have CWRM, you can simply flash the relevant zip file with the tethering fix.

WIFI Tethering

Can anybody enable wifi tethering?
I try but get an error with rogers rom with rogers kernel
As an FYI, the feature works on stock Rogers phone. [just tried it with mine]
Thanks, indeed my custom kernel was the cause of it all! thanks again
Think we could find a fix for the AT&T Version of this phone? It's one feature I love.

Hi, I just reecieved my new Capativate glide yesterday. Is there any way to enable the wifi tethering without ATT charging you the extra $45 on your service plan?

Thanks, I wasn't sure if thar post was refering to cloning yourself from ATT. The only question I have is will that give me all the Rodgers branding. I would love to wait for Caynogenmod to come out with a custom rom for this phone!

Root the phone.

Use Titanium Backup to remove the tetheringmanager package.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hudXl76Rwfg
There may be other ways to do it but it worked for me. I had to reboot after removing the package or I got an error.
you can also use root explorer (must be rooted) to delete : /system/app/tethering manager.apk
DONE!
tether freely until they snag you by mac address/packet info... At&the now detecting tethering by packet type value
An app called Easy Tether will allow you to USB tether your ATT i927 without rooting.
it does require a software install on your laptop.
Wifi tethering doesn't work ... at all
Rooted or not: Wifi tethering doesn't work on mine.
Tested it with both ROMs available: Rogers & AT&T : same result : doesn't work.
I tried to remove "Tethering Manager.apk" : same result.
I always get the same error message.
After ticking the checkbox to enable "WiFi mobile hotspot"
It says :"Deconnecting WiFi"
And then "Data not available"...
And shuts down the mobile hotspot (which was not even started).
Any idea ?
Thanks.
Update : USB Tethering is now working with Rogers ROM - still no WiFi tethering (exit with an error) !

Your method works! I used titanium backup to make a backup and then remove tethering manager package and now the wifi tethering works
Many thanks!!
Alternatively, you can use the wireless tether app (I verified it works if rooted - http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/) but this method is definitely better
Works real good
Yes...I have tested it and it works fine....thanks for the link and the info
Pdanet apparently works

Thanks so much! I was trying to use another method, and didn't like the Rogers rom because it didn't have some of the integrations with my Corporate email but deleting the TetheringManager worked! Awesome!
Now I just hope I can get the ICS Update fine when that comes out Hopefully someone will do a stock ATT ICS rooted img
I have a problem: I can start wifi sharing, my computer connects to it, but then it says "limited access", without being capable of accessing to internet. i have tried on two different computers, with no success, both using Windows 7. With my older Samsung Galaxy Young and Motorola Droid 2 Global I have never had any issues.
I have tried both by removing the wifi sharing manager, and also using the Wifi tethering for Root users, mentioned above, but with no success.
Hope someone can help.

I have almost the identical setup.
Samsung Captivate Glide (SGH-I927, AT&T) I927UCLJ3 ICS 4.0.4 original stock ROM Clockwork Mod Recovery Rooted
Downloaded the Foxfi APK file onto my computer transferred it to my 927 and installed it.It works just fine (haven't used it much yet). It is the free "base" version (which is not available from google play store for ATT phones).
You have to go to the Foxfi web site to get the download,without any interference from big brother!

I know roughly what you are talking about. I know command prompt, although I never used fastboot, as I only owned X10 (until I dropped it and USB port snapped ), so never had to/wanted to unlock bootloader this way. But I want to learn, that's why I am reading all this now, and I need to ask about something I am not sure of.
Just go through the unlock bootloader process and then you will know what fastboot is
After that just type my comamnd with my file in the same directory and you will be done.
Regards
If I were you I would wait till I get ICS on the phone then unlock the bootloader and root the phone.
Quick question. It just wonders me. Sony "supports" unlocking bootloader, which is more dangerous than root. Why rooting is not supported then? Is it because we could unistall third party aplications and Sony has some sort of agreements with them and are obligated by law?

No you are getting the idea wrong
Long ago we discussed alot with SonyEricsson and together decided this is the best way of doing it.
The reason is simple:
Rooting alone does not give you access to all partitions etc. pp See X10 Forums for that. Sony is very good in hiding partitions
With a bootloader unlock we get fully workable fastboot. We are able to write all partitions and change what we want. (Root too)
Also Sony(Ericsson) is able to track who unlocks and who not AND is able to provide a check mechanism to forbid unlocking of phones which are not owned by the user (for example provider branded phones in contract, the phone is usually property of the provider).
So this is the reason. Unlocked bootloader gives us nearly full access, so no need to worry I am in this game since X10 times (like you or not ?)and we always got the phones working like we wanted.
Our work for CM9 on XPS has started now too.

See, I was not aware of that "agreement". Now everything seems to make sense. I am android user since I bought X10 back in August 2010. I was more or less following XDA since then as well, but this forum is worldwide community and is almost imposible to keep a track on everything. I would consider myself somewhere between rookie and advanced users. I know how to do certain things (root, how to use ADB, I was changing framwork_res.apk for my own purposes, etc.). My point also is, I am more hardware sort of guy, rather than software. That's why I am glad you guys are here with us.
Will this wipe the phone data or only the system partition ?

Well no. But the first step is that you need to unlock bootloader and THIS WILL wipe your data. To flash the systempartition itself will not wipe userdata.

Yes, I agree. But myself, I will wait for root for phones with locked bootloader as well. I assume I will be happy with phone speed, but when CM9 comes out, then I will consider unlockin bootloader.

So you restored with Titanium. Since Titanium is a Root app and you don't had Root before i think you are trying to restore a backup from another phone.
If you do that you have to assure that you ONLY RESTORE APPS and NOT SETTINGS! Settings from another phone will be most likely incompatible.
So this wil be your problem!

Mobile data is not available or invalid SIM on unlocked SGH-i747

Hey, people!
I have an unlocked SGH-i747 I got last week. Today I tried to enable USB tethering, but I got the message "Mobile data is not available or invalid SIM"; same thing happens if I try to enable Portable Wi-Fi hotspot.
¿Any solution to this? I know I will probably have to root the phone, that's no problem.
Thanks!

Okay, so the question I have for OP is -- do you have network data turned on?
"Mobile data is not available" << means that data is turned off. Turn data on, then try to enable hot spot, then that should work.
http://www.marksatterfield.com
Mark, are you serious?? Of course I have network data turned on! Why would one try to share a disabled connection?
And always remember to read the whole message: "Mobile data is not available OR invalid SIM."
Have you guys tried pdanet? I've used it on stock and haven't had an issue with it.

I have the same issue, get the no mobile data or invalid sim with the built in feature. Tried different 3rd party apps and I get the same message with those. Tried the tether unlocker and that didn't work either. Even did the tethering provision file replacement and it still does the same thing. Contacted Rogers and I have tethering feature. My phone is a AT&T GS4 unlocked.

Ok, so since you have clockwork recovery there is a few extra ways for you to actually root the tablet.
1.) You can find a flashable root .zip for samsung galaxy tab 3 4.4.2 (model number) however, I failed to find this on google or bing so you may have some troubles.
2.) Use odin. You have google so just search how to do i
3.) Use this different link. It may help. Teaches you how to root the tablet.

Hm. I think I see the problem. Did you use that stock rom one or did you flash a root? Either way you most likely flashed/odin the wrong OS/root for your tablet. Try again but make sure you use your right tablet. Or can you actually tell me what you did because I do not know what you did to fix it.

Thanks for reply. That is the exact thing I meant when i called myself noob. My build is p1a_42_s137_151028_ROW. I did mentioned I got confused though I know this is not a new topic. I think the process (in the link) is for upgrades and what I want is just root because I never got a 100% satisfied user after any upgrades let it be via ota(starting with 30mb patch) or custom Row. My handset works perfectly fine. No lag no heating , no battery draining, etc. I want to root because I want to tweak network settings which is not possible with non rooted mode as SQL is not accessable. Sorry i was not able to provide whole info but I truly don't use blogs or social sites so I lack the idea.

No lag no heating , no battery draining, etc. I want to root because I want to tweak network settings which is not possible with non rooted mode as SQL is not accessable. Sorry i was not able to provide whole info but I truly don't use blogs or social sites so I lack the idea.

Tell me one thing!
When you tried to root your phone with kingo root tool, did you activated USB Debugging option from developer section ?
If not, activate this option from developer option and try again.
To activate this option you must go to : Settings/About phone/Device information/Build number and press fast many times on it till developer tab is activated.
Go to Settings/Developer options and activate the option from there.
Write here what is going on.

Yes sir I did that via USB connect option. Did anyone had success with kingoroot? But they did not mention vibe p1 in their support list. Thanks for quick reply.

you are right the root for this device is not avialable by kingoroot.they r actually working on it , may be in future we will get it.
There is a bootloader lock on the phone. Applications is useless. The bootloader must first be unlocked, or root application must be installed on the rom. The best solution for you is to unlock the bootloader lock and install twrp. Please see the following page:

That entire process is for unlocking the bootloader? Let's say I have done that but how can I get rooted without updating my raw row?

Well I can only say that with my rom 288 the process was If you have already unlocked bootloader is using QFIL and selecting rawprogram_twrp.xml put supersu zip on your sd card boot into twrp recovery and install supersu zip.

It probably works with the qfil file of your same rom. You need to add and flash bootloader files into the same rom(data can be deleted). ROM version is not important for the bootloader file. If the process is successful, you can install twrp and supersu.zip
