Hello, i'm new to this forum and must say that there is an incredible amount of information here. I rooted my Incredible a few weeks ago because I wanted to use wifi tethering. When the 2.2 OTA update started going out, I returned my phone to factory settings because I heard clockwork mod was messing with the update. I still have not recieved the 2.2 OTA, and i'm wondering if this is due to having build number 1.22.605.0 until today. I read in a thread that to do the manual method you need to update to 1.22.605.2.
Is there any difference between manually updating to 2.2 and recieving the OTA?
Now that i've updated my build to 1.22.605.2 should I just wait until I get the OTA?
Can anyone confirm Condition 7 in this thread working?: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=771178
If I only want wifi tethering, should I really root my phone?
The only thing I can answer is your last question. In order to use wifi tether(not Verizons version) you must be rooted.

If you only want wifi tethering - you do have another choice. Change the duns. So far I have not heard of anybody that has been caught doing that but it could be costly if the network provider figured it out,
Hi everyone,
I bought a play yesterday which worked fine out of the box. However, after updating to 2.3.3 my wi-fi connection repeats a process of scanning, connecting and disconnecting from my home network every 30 or so seconds, making the connection unusable.
Ive tried connecting to different networks, setting up a static ip on thephone, installing apps such as bladefix, altering almost all of my router settings and updating its firmware and even calling tech support (one of which told me that he had no idea what the problem could be, and another who told me to root and downgrade the phone, something which is rather not do just yet).
I realise that this may not be the appropriate forum to ask this, but I am really am at a loose end as to where to go to next. Does anybody have any idea what the problem may be?
Cheers,
Russ
Rooting your phone cant downgrade your firmware. But you you should probably downgrade to 2.3.2. What carrier or version do you have?

Join the club! Wifi issues are killing me on 2.3.3. I've yet to try 2.3.4 because I don't want to lose root, but I can confirm that 2.3.2 worked perfectly. I find what helps is to disable mobile data when using Wifi, but the problem is still there.

Thanks for the reply. The carrier is O2 and its the R800i. I'll try to downgrade to 2.3.2 now but hopefully this will only be a short term fix.
@Dassub, I'd love to try 2.3.4 but the phone insists that 2.3.3 is the latest firmware!
Use uk generic 2.3.2 firmware then update ota. U shouldnt have problems with wifi on 2.3.3 cause I once had r800i 2.3.3 on my xp with no wifi issues until I switched to r800a with no wifi issues either. Are you using O2 firmware with their boot logo and bloatware? Maybe its their update that ruins wifi.

ok so i got an xperia play (verizon) that is not currently hooked up to their network as i already have us cellular. anyways i downgraded to 2.3.3 to root the phone and now that thats done i want to put it back to 2.3.4 and keep the root but it says i have to be hooked up to a mobile network to do that. is there any way to get around it and update the phone again so i get the new features or am i stuck?
I have been searching around for answers to my question for a few hours and have come up with nothing.
I originally flashed an older rom onto my phone in order to unlock it, then it did the OTA update to 4.3, following which I used CF auto root to successfully root it. Now this is what I have:
AT&T Galaxy S3
Android version 4.3
Baseband version I747UCUEMJB
Build Number JSS15J.I747UCUEMJB
SE Android Status Enforcing SEPF_SMSUNG-SGH-I747_4.3_0024
When I try to enable wifi tethering, either natively or through Portable Wifi Hotspot or other apps then I get the message that "Mobile data is not available or invalid SIM", neither of which is true. I have been able to get FoxFi/PDANet to work for bluetooth tethering, but not WiFi which I need for some of the devices I have with me.
I have seen that perhaps there are some modem/bootloader files that can be flashed over, but those seem to be specific to the leaked version of 4.3 , and I dont know if they would work for the UCUEMJB.
Is there any way I can do a simple mod to enable the wifi teathering? Would prefer to avoid flashing another rom bc Im traveling through Latin America and access to decent internet is a big issue (hence the need to tether).
Thanks!
I just updated to stock 4.4.2 Kitkat on my i747 (and then rerooted). However, since I'm using the phone on T-Mobile network, I get an "Mobile data not available or invalid sim" error when I switch on Hotspot.
I know in past firmware, the were mods that changed or removed the Tetheringprovision.apk but those threads warn not to use such mods in any other firmware except Jelly Bean.
Does anyone have a workaround to get Hotspot working on 4.4.2 yet?
anyone?
anyone?
