Hey all,
Friend just got one of the new myTouch 1.2's with the 3.5 jack, memory, etc. I don't believe I've seen any ROMs for it yet, but I was wondering if there was a way to root the phone at all - or at least an easy way of getting it to tether. That's really the main concern.
Thanks!
a simple search...and you would of found out that yes you can root the device.. but there is no roms avalible other then the stock fender rom with root.. and no at this time u can not tether internet.. unless u get like pdanet or easytether from the market (but u dont need root acess to use either one of these apps) and they cost $$$..

I have unlimited data plan through grandfathers option which I don't want to let go of ,so there seems to be no option for tethering.I had a captivate previously but someone liberated it the other day.I bought the Inspire thinking that since it was froyo 2.2 I would be golden for hot spot which is how we get our net access these days and it has been great.I have noticed lots of folks having problems rooting,and those who are able to are losing their sound. Is there an app that will work similar to
" mywi " that the iPhone uses? I sure don't want to give up my unlimited data,is there anything besides a custom Rom I can do,and will rooting allow me to enable the hotspot feature?I have modded all kinds of phones,game,consoles ,and I am comfortable rooting this thing if it will get me running again.Thanks in advance for any answers or suggestions anyone may have. I sure do like this phone,it is way faster at everything than the Captivate and I have only had it a day.thanks,Vegas

I would say root it and flash android revolution, mainly cause its stock sense and all the features your looking for are enabled after flashing this rom, including the sound thing. Rooting isnt as easy as it was on captivate, but if u follow the video tutorial you shouldnt have any problems. I have never rooted a htc device until i got the inspire, but i managed to get it done the first try with the youtube walkthrough.
So to sum up, root, install CWM, then flash custom rom of your choice. Then enjoy your amazing android device.

I will give it a Shot when I get home from work,Thanks for the Shot of Confidence! Do I need a seperate Micro SD to make a "Gold Card" or can I just save the stuff on the one in it,format and use as Gold Card,when done,format and restore files to my Micro SD? Thanks Again,Vegas
You can use the card that came with it. Like you said, just make sure to back up any files on it.

Have you seen this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=960058) thread. Multiple users, including myself, have been able to get wifi tethering to work without Root. Simply adding a custom APN unlocks this ability
Previous to adding this APN, when I would launch Wi-Fi Hotspot I was greeted with a message that I do not have a plan that includes tethering. I added the APN and am now able to use this app without any problems. Note: Most of us had to reboot after adding the APN to get wifi tethering to stay on
Wow,that would be awesome,thank you,Vegas

OK, apparently my search ability is TERRIBLE because I can't find the info I'm looking for and I'm SURE this has been asked a thousand times. I jsut got an Evo Shift. This is my first Droid device so please treat me as a total n00b. I'm coming over from a Palm Pre (HP Pre now).
I need to get instructions and links to be able to get my hotpot working without having to pay the extra $30 a month. Can anyone provide a total n00b that is pretty smart with good step by step instructions on how to do this? I NEED it to work on 3G and want it to work on 4G. Thanks in advance...
Dave
Easiest way is to just root your phone. You don't even need to flash a custom rom. Just use the stock rom. But once you root and turn off security, you can then just download the app from the market called wireless tether. It works like a champ, I use it everyday. Hope this helps
OK, so, I've been doing some googling. How hard is it to root? The app that seems popular is z4root 1.3. is it as easy to install as simply going to the market and searching for z4root? Then what's the name I need to search for to get the wireless tether? And how do I turn off security? Sorry, I'm a TOTAL n00b.
Did you ever locate the information you need to complete this task. If so please share as I'm a noob to it as well. Thanks in advance for any help you are able to provide.
A friend is looking to get this phone, and asked me about tethering
I have been rooting for a while, so I know the basics, but as I have an EVO & Epic, I haven't paid much attention to this model
I saw the threads showing it has been rooted.
Can I simply direct him to root the device with the one click, and use the Wifi Tethering apk?
Or does it also need a kernel that supports tethering
Basically, I want to make sure he can enable the tethering via root, before I advise him on the purchase
...and yes, I do know that AT&T are cracking down on the tethering

not another tethering thread.... search before you post.... Once you root, you can tether, by freezing the TetheringManager.apk... Then your good to use the built in Moble AP... or you can use something like Wireless tether for root users

Thanks, I was actually still searching after I posted, as the first couple tethering threads didn't seem to know, but I did find the answer in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1082294
Ok so i've been looking around here and i've seen people say the best tethering app is WiFi tether. But heres my question, On my x2 i was required to change my radio card settings. Change some numbers around and such. This allowed me to stealth tether, I'm wondering if this WiFi tether app is trackable?
And about rooting, All i'm seeing for vzw rooting is what seems to be flashing the "stock rom" that is rooted and not rooting your current system. So am i going to lose my data and have to start over? And is this something thats being worked on? Because with my x2 it was a 1 click root and it didn't change anything on my phone besides adding the root. My phone stayed on the stock rom with nothing being changed. Just kinda wondering, i haven't taken the time to look threw roms so i'm not sure what i want to run on this phone yet. But tethering is a must for me
Thanks in advance

I just installed the rooted stock rom over my default non-rooted install and everything has worked fine with no data loss. I did that mostly because I don't know how to format my phone through Odin. What I did exactly to get root.
As for wifi tether what I did was install the version of the app from the Play Store and then set my phone profile to the Galaxy Nexus. I used the version that was available from the code site in my Thunderbolt before and I have not been "caught" yet. So I would say you're good to go. While I haven't tried it with encryption, I did try to see if my Thunderbolt could connect to my Galaxy S III. It did and after a quick speed test I knew everything was working well (got a 101ms ping with 5mbps down and ~1mbps up).

No wifi tether is not trackable and flashing a root stock rom in odin wont wipe data. Click link in sig for instructions.

ok sounds good. So then one more thing i guess. If the wifi tether isn't trackable how do they "catch" people doing it? is it downloading speeds or what? because if they have no real way i'm just going to use my tether on my x2 to download the needed files for rooting the s3 lol
*edit*
also is there an irc channel for the verizon phone and such? and i saw something about "not tripping the flash counter" what does that mean? lol
ok so rooting is done all looks good. Hoping the stealth of this tethering is good lol. Now to wait for a good rom
Can use stock hotspot app
You can also use the stock hotspot app.
Folks have been reporting that if you use a 3rd party launcher widget like this one Tether Widget the the stock hotspot apps works without checking to see if your paying for the "feature".
I've tested this my self and it works fine.

nothing against this, and i will look into it, but i'm looking for stealth tethering. This is my home internet, so i'm using a good 20gigs a month
Ok so new issue, i can not turn off cmda, i am in evdo only mode but i still get text messages and that cuts off my data for tethering while it receives :/ anyone know what to do?
Ok, I hate to post this, but I can't seem to find any posts on this. I have My HTC 1 mini rooted with cwm recovery flashed. I want to use my phone as a hotspot (without paying At&t) without flashing a custom rom. I like the stock rom and don't have any reason to flash cyanogen or anything else available. So,.... Can anyone help or direct me in the right place to get rid of the At&t big brother crap so I can use my phone as a hotspot for free?
I'm in the same boat as you, except I'm not even using the phone on AT&T, I'm thinking of updating to the international 4.3 release, however my wife doesn't want to lose all her settings and have to restore everything just to be able to use this feature.....
You can always use a 3rd party app such as tether (doesn't do wifi i dont think..) however i beleive the wifi ones are pay apps
teahering sux.

Tethering sux. Especially when using my tablet or when trying to have someone else connect. I used it all the time with my pos LG nitro HD. The phone is capable of doing it just not without [email protected] punk butts trying to charge for it. There has to be a software/app that be removed or something simple. I just don't want to remove something wrong and have to flash my back up. Pain the the u know. Pdanet was the best Coe tethering in my experience btw. I hate wires.
S-off
So I'm gathering that S-off has to be done in order to get free wifi with stock rom. in this tutorial http://htconeroot.com/htc-one-tutorials/how-to-get-s-off-on-htc-one/ I was able to get S-off. In the tutorial it states you have to disable fastboot. I tired it twice and it failed. I then enabled fastboot through the power menu at the bottom, and it worked like a charm. I had to enable fastboot to root my One mini as well. Both tutorials expressed that fastboot had to be disabled. Not in my case. So,... (at your own risk) if you have have problem with rooting and getting S-off, enable fastboot. Not I need to find out what all factory installed apps I can remove without bricking my phone. If anyone knows all or at least some of the apps/bloatware, please list.

That's a great question. I believe that if you root the device (and possibly S-off) then you can use any hotspot app for free. I'm using this on the T-mobile network and cannot find a work-around without Root. I plan to root one day, but have just been too busy to sit down and go through all the steps.
Nope. Not with the AT&T version

I rooted, I got S-off and still no free wifi hotspot. Furthermore, Whenever It root uninstalled all those AT&T app, when I rebooted they would be back. I tried every root uninstaller on the play sotre with a four start rating or better. I wanted JB 4.3 and sense 5.5 so I got that S. I copied that resolution below. Now I have free wifi. Thanx though.
I used the script SuperWipe_M4_xpirt.zip to completely clean my Phone because after I copied to my pc then deleted all my titanium back up media and DCIM my sdcard only had 1.4gb in on it. On the device all those files still showed under my legacy and /0 folder and I found a third under storage in the device. This is something funky. So after the SuperWipre Script from thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2423576 I then flashed 4.3 sense 5.5 from thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2575766 and now I have 11 gb on my phone. I will pay more attention to my storage when installing and changing things so I can see what, where, and/or how that happened. I have never encountered something like this before, nevertheless, i have never settle for a phone without external storage either. I wont ever do that again. But for a free phone plus a $56 credit to my account, I can't complain too much. Just a little. The One Mini is way better than the crappy lame POS LG Nitro HD .
