I looked an could not find anything in other threads so I put this one in hear because I figured it is general. I just bought an wifi only iPad and I wanted to know if there was anyway i could tether the internet to it. I do not have a rooted slide and I am not looking to go in that direction. I was thinking my best bet is through Bluetooth but don't know. I thought about pdanet but I don't think it will work. Any sort of help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thank You
Unless a new wifi tether app that does not require root has come into existance without my knowledge, no, you can not wifi tether with this phone at the moment. Until tmobile updates us to 2.2 or you root, you will not see wifi tether on your phone. And since tmobile make exclude (i am not implying they will) wifi tether in the 2.2 update, you might as well root. I personally cant figure out how anyone has lasted this long without root. Simply not enough space for apps.
Isnt buying an ipad an abomination to android owners? It is to me lol!

IF you root can you still keep the stock rom?

Yeah, check out Chiefzreload rom. Same as stock. Or you can go with one of the other sense roms. There is a 2.2 with sense that has working Bluetooth and wifi

Once rooted can it be unrooted? Does anyone know if 2.2 will have wifi tethering?
Yes, its possible to unroot. Take a look at the latest tmobile 2.2 phones and if they have wifi tether then you can probably assume we will. We will get wifi calling though

Congratulations on your iPad purchase. I'm sure you'll love it too. I also have the wifi-only version and a mytouch slide.
If you do not want to root, you can wait for T-mobile's 2.2 (froyo) update and I would expect you will be able to pay T-mobile $15 per month to use your slide as a wifi hotspot.
If you are willing to root your slide, you can turn your slide into a hotspot now.
The first thing I did was root my slide. After I did that I did NOT put the Eng build on at the time--I left my slide stock but rooted. I couldn't get the Barnacle tethering app to work at that time but the Wireless Tether app worked just fine with the ipad.
Recently, I flashed the Eng ROM and then I flashed Cyanogen 6.5 RC1 ROM. Wireless Tether app didn't work, but I installed Barnacle and it is working just fine with my iPad.
So, I just want to tell you that if you root your phone, you will be able to use it as a wifi hotspot. If you don't want to root, just hold on and I expect that T-mobile will offer the feature soon.
Thanks for the post. You said that you could not get barnacle to work but you did get a wireless tethering app to work. Which app was that?
the wifi tether can be obtained from here:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
After you root your phone, email it to yourself and open. Otherwise, transfer to your SD card and open with a file manager program like ASTRO.
Barnacle is available through the market.
which one would i download. And if i root the phone will i still receive over the air updates?
If you plan to use CM6.1 RC1, wireless tether version 2.0.5pre14 works great.

would I still be able to receive ota updates?
Not from T-Mobile. However, CyanogenMod is updated more frequently and there are nightly builds for those of us that want to have the latest and greatest. Although at the cost of stability at times. But that's what makes it fun.
That being said, when T-Mobile decides to update, shortly after someone will make a rooted version.

I'll just add to what you said. If you root BUT stay on the stock rom (don't flash the ENG build or anything) you will receive the ota updates. I'm not 100% but I think CR_MOD will get them also since it has the APN and a few other settings required to be pushed updates.
On CM6.1 RC1, wireless tether version 2.0.5pre3-test3 did not work for me (it worked on rooted stock). I later tried Barnacle and it worked fine so I did not try other versions.
It is good to know that if I had tried 2.0.5pre14, it would have worked great.
I am new to rooting/modding etc. and appreciate the help on XDA.
Anyhow, if one roots the slide, they should be able to use a hotspot app to tether with the ipad over wifi.
What is the best way to root and keep the stock without having to flash anything. And what app would i use to tether wifi? does barnacle work well?
The stickies on the Development section can help you.
The current method to root the slide is here (sticky in Development section):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754020
The old way that I used in July before the T-mobile update:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=702973
It is my understanding that the old method won't work if your phone has the latest T-mobile update on it.
If you root the slide but do not flash the Eng ROM, your phone will be rooted and it will keep the stock ROM.
You can try Barnacle from Market or get the wireless tether program. Between the two programs, one will work for you once your phone is rooted. I know it is a little intimidating to root the phone, but I am very glad that I did it. I am also glad that I put the cyanogen ROM on my phone too.
Thanks for everyones help on the subject. I found the best way for me to tether for my ipad and i don't have to go through the process of rooting. It's called universalandroot and it works on the mytouch slide. It roots the phone temporally and i am able to keep the stock rom like i wanted.

TIA

plz let me know if you find one that works. thats the only thing that stoping me from making it my daily rom
you can confirm that bluetooth tether works?
I cant find one as of rate now
I can confirm that the Wireless Tether for Root Users app does work. Version 3.1 beta 11. Under Settings > Device Profile, use Samsung Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE). I was however unsuccessful in getting this to work using Wifi encryption(password), but it does work with User Access Control.

Pardon if it's been addressed already. Searched with no results.
Any wi-fi tethering fix available? Can't seem to get it going on this or CM10.1. Think I might have to reflash an older version. Tethering is crucial at work.
Simple search in either the CM10.1 thread or the AOKP thread you'd see its currently not working..

There are some ROMs that have the patch in place
Me, I use a Jellybean based ROM and just use the bluetooth tether [as it uses less battery]
open settings on phone and tablet or bluetooth device [get USB adapter if laptop doesn't already have it]
pair the devices
tap the more button in settings on phone tap tethering tap the checkbox for bluetooth tether
WiFi Specific
Install a Jellybean based ROM visit settings [I enjoy ParanoidAndroid] more> tethering and hotspot>Wi-Fi tether.
If need look in market for FoxFi it is free and does WiFi tethering via an app if you prefer that.
Ok, I know I have seen a few threads about this but nothing conclusive or, dare I say, noob friendly as to how to resolve it. So I am asking here. My roommate has moved out leaving me with a few weeks of having to rely on my phone for internet. I am currently running Infamous v.8 and by using Hotspot Shield Free and Wifi Tether TrevE I can hotspot tether for a limited about of data before I have to wait about 6 hours or so. I am looking to find a way to just hotspot tether natively without using apps and without getting the T-mobile screen. I have used many roms including the Carbon KitKat rom using dalvik but still get the T-mobile screen, if the computer connects at all.
I have heard about some libs you can push to get tethering to work, but having never done that, I would need some detailed instructions.
Thanks for any help you can give.
Do this it works on the att s4 using the built in native hotspot feature
First go to settings applications /manager /all
Your tmobile s4 may not have the native hotspot feature but if does this step is critical for it to work...
Find the hotspot app disable it .
Next go to any root browser tool and go to prefer rom toolbox lite.
Go to System/app find tetheringprovsion.apk rename it to tetheringprovision.bak
Rename the tetherprovision.odex
To tetherprovision.bak2
Download the modified tether provision apk from the att s4 general forum. and copy it into sytem/app folder same folder you renamed the others.
reboot phone and then after reboot.
Go back to settings apllication manager/all
and re enable hotspot
Then you can tether .

I know some ROM's that have tethering and portable hotspot built in. On my old Samsung Relay had a Clockwork mod, and when I went to settings, more - there was an area for tethering and portable hotspot and it ran just like it was a normal function included with the phone. Loved it.
So check the different rom's out there some should have the same thing.
I recently upgraded to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46872497&postcount=2 from stock rom /w root and now the app I was using to get my phone to become a hotspot no longer works. Anyone have any solutions? I've been searching quite abit for the answer and haven't come up with any.

I used that ROM for awhile, I just use the embedded mobile hotspot with no issues. Just go to Settings> More Networks > Tethering and Mobile HotSpot and turn Mobile Hotspot on ( I reinstalled the ROM to be able to give accurate information)

This should have been posted in T-Mobile Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
You can try Foxfi..Work for me...

try installing xposed and the Wanam module.
in system option (in Wanam) turn off tethering provisioning.
reboot and use the stock tethering option.
if you are on windows try changing the browsers user agent to an android user string. you don't need to do this if you run Linux.
