Superuser & Wifi Tethering

I just put Donut 1.6 on my MT3g! I love it, very fast and simple, could not ask for more BESIDES wifi Tethering.
It has the app, and i have reinstalled it, but i keep running into a problem with Superuser.
Every time i go to use tethering it comes up with SU request. From what i have searched, i am supposed to have a Allow and Deny option. These options never come up.
I have put on Shell and typed in
ID
SU
ID
Now, from what i have seen it is supposed to say Rooted in here. It does NOT say rooted, and when i press menu to select "Request Superuser" it says i do NOT have it installed, even though it clearly is.
What are my options i have to get my wifi tethering working? I have searched and tried EVERYTHING but redoing my rom, which i cant do by myself. I had my friend do it for me.

[Q] Application Deployment not working after interopunlock

Having a crazy day. Got the new ChevronWP7 unlock last night. Did the internet sharing interop combo. Now get error trying to reload xap files. Trying to put on accentchanger file.
Error - failed to connect to the device. Ensure that the device is connected..

The xap app is not supported
You have to deploy supported xap only
Ex:
Screen cupturer
Nokia maps
Battery status
Tango, but it is now in marketplace
Some other apps like Native keyboard are not working.
Good luck.

@verynuclear: Not sure what you think you're trying to say, but it's totally possible to use high-privilege apps like Advanced Config (which does custom accent colors, among other things). You just need Interop Unlock, which is easy on LG, possible (via an app) on Samsung, and difficult but not impossible on HTC (I have it on my HD7).
The problem is that after using the Interop-unlock app on his or her Samsung phone, the OP seems to be having trouble with the XAP deployment tools. @jgibo, I suggest you read and then post in the relevant threads for those apps, rather than starting a new thread.

The main reason for asking question is if the deployment tool stopped working for anyone else. After I got Chevron on there I was able to install screen capture, accent changer. Screen capture worked. So I removed accent changer and followed instructions for interop unlock install. Then saw the thread for internet sharing and interop in one. Installed that to phone. Got internet sharing Then tried a few different xap files and couldn't install any. So did that xap mess something up? Guess I will look elsewhere for answers.
This is all they have on MSDN site.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This can be caused by several reasons, including if the device is off. If the device is already connected, sometimes disconnecting and then reconnecting the device may fix the problem. Rebooting the device may also fix this problem

You do have internet sharing OFF right? You can not deploy XAP's with ICS on. I don't mean to be rude but it really does pay to read the whole post when someone gives instructions on how to do something before saying it messed up your whatever.

As long as your device is unlocked in some way (Developer/Chevron/Other) you can get internet sharing on your Samsung phone.
1.) First install the WP Dev Tools and unlock your Samsung phone.
2.) Use the Application Deployment tool to send THIS to your phone. You do not need to run it and you can delete it after it has been deployed.
3.) Install the Diagnosis app by typing ##634#
4.) After the Diagnosis app starts type *#9908# and select 'System Tweaks' press 'Save' then 'Close' and RESTART your phone.
5.) Your phone now has internet sharing and as a bonus is interop unlocked!
PS: You need to have a recent firmware on your phone or your diagnosis app and drivers will not be new enough to work.
EDIT: I built the file depoyer app using the tools provided by Heathcliff74 so many thanks to him! Also ADC is built in as well so no need to worry about that and I also upped the max number of connections from 3 to 5 devices.
NOTE: If you have internet sharing turned on (active hotspot) you will not be able to deploy XAP's untill it is turned off. Also, as with any xap, you need to have your screen unlocked to deploy.

Of course if you have ICS off then I'm sorry for this little rant and all I can suggest is restarting your phone and PC and trying again.

ICS is and was off. Found other posts with same message. Currently reinstalling dev tools. I do IT support for a living and hate havinng to do troubleshooting on my own stuff From past experience with computers it is either a coincidence or cause when a new problem occurs. Hence the questions asked. I do remember seeing an odd usb error in system try when I was doing step 4. Did a troubleshoot on my Focus connection but that didn't help. Also tried all usb connections. If the reinstall doesn't work will have to get my htpc out and try on it.

Reinstall didn't work. Since it stopped after running system tweaks I am trying again. Wish the instructions had a note on how long after hitting the save button before it was done. Has the Loading GPRS Profile for System Tweaks on screen. I think I may have hit the close button yesterday while is was still showing Loading. Right now I am not touching phone till I see it go away. Unless you are supposed to hit close right after hitting save.

The settings are applied almost instantly, as soon as it says loaded after you hit save then you can hit close and restart. Another user stated they had to turn ICS on then off again before he could deploy XAPs. Another question, you haven't turned on wired tethering have you? I ask because if you don't set your phone back to Zune sync you also will get the error you are getting.
EDIT: Main question, does Zune see your phone when you plug it in at all? Can you sync media? Cause if you can't you have another issue that is beyond anything my XAP could have done.

That kind of worked. Turned on ICS then back off. Got Advanced Config to install. Now get UnauthorizedAcessException. Click ok and app closes. Go from one issue to another.

[Q] Help w Nook Automated Rooting System Please

*Sorry this is in wrong place please delete. I don't see delete option*
Hi guys,
I will have you know I have done hours of work and scowering for answers... I am so close to having this done it is driving me bonkers... and right when I think I finally have it... another hiccup, with no luck finding anything.
I am using this procedure: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1383480
Initially, I had everything as it should be, and then, terminal would said that the sudo command did not exist. I realized I did not have the nook connected and in the right spot... trying to download the app and then clicking on package installer and having it connected. So... I tried that and I got parse error no matter which way I did. So I did a hard reset and wiped it clean to start over. Everything goes beautifully but now
"Click on the Package Installer, and then a prompt will pop up asking if you want change the settings to allow 3rd party apps.
*DO NOT ENABLE 3RD PARTY IF YOU WISH TO ACCESS ADB*
I am working on a way to have it enabled by default."
That prompt does not appear.... no prompt pops up asking me to change the settings to allow 3rd party, and then it takes me to screen asking me to install go launcher... no "press them both and accept the prompt."
I'm finally at a loss. Please help meh...!

FIX!! No APN specified on device (MMS not sending/receiving)

Hey guys,
So I know I'm not alone on this issue, I've come across countless topics and I couldn't find a solid solution ANYWHERE and I tried EVERYTHING. I finally stumbled upon a solution that worked for me and it DIDN'T involve a clean wipe of my ROM.
(oh and a little background, I'm running a Droid 4 on Verizon with stargo's port of CM11 KitKat)
The topic is on the cyanogenmod website (can't post the link because of stupid forum rules), and I found the solution in the comments. Here is the comment by Matt Mower:
"Michael Gernoth, after changing apns-conf.xml, you might need to force a reload of apns-conf.xml. One way to achieve this is:
1) Enable airplane mode
2) Restart phone
3) Settings > Mobile networks should now show "Access point names" as a menu you can enter
4) In Access point names menu, choose "Reset to default" from the drop menu
5) Disable airplane mode"
So I did that, and wallah, I was able to send and receive MMS again and the error is gone!! I've seen soo many other people on here who have the same issue and have tried to reset to default and they mention that it wouldn't save, and I think the reason is it just needed that said manual reload of apns-config.xml.
Please note that I take NO CREDIT FOR THIS FIX, I just happened to find the post that contained the info that I believe many others have missed. Please share this info with anyone else having this issue as it could save them a ton of frustration as well.
Thanks for reading!

I personally tried several solutions including replacing the apns-conf.xml file, manually entering all the APN info and others without any real permanent success.
There is a ridiculously simple fix to cure this issue once and for all.
Make sure your Droid 4 is rooted and open the Play Store. Install Root Tweaker by broodplank. Open the app and check the box next to Cyanogenmod APNS List. Click "Tweak now!" You'll get a message advising it has been applied. Close the app, reboot your device and you should be good to go.

Ahem!

I followed these instructions, and literally one second after turning airplane mode back off I got a "No APN specified on device message." So, at least on the OnePlus One this fix does not work. However, it is apparently possible to reset the APN to default without going into airplane mode or rebooting, although I don't know if that reloads the apns-config.xml file. Anyway, I just changed to a different APN, and so far that seems to have fixed the problem.
By the way, for all you language mavens, "wallah" is a horrible corruption of "voila," which is properly pronounced much the same way but adding the "v" sound at the start, phonetically sort of "vwallah". Cheers!

so helpfull, thank you

Simply, set your APN settings as default from drop menu, shutdown your cell, Remove sim and now insert your sim turn on cell, your issue is fixed..........

Big hug jdinardo22- the issue was fixed by enabling airplan , reboot, disabling it
and my phone is 1+1
it took me much pain and time , till getting to this simple advice that made an end to the creeping situation.
the only benefit of this terrible journey, is that i got read of a lot of nonsense and suspicious apps.
tanks again to jdinardo!!!:angel:

[Q] [Too many pattern tries] How can I switch on wi-fi?

Like many others, I have become a victim of 'Too many pattern tries' and have got stuck at the lock screen trying to sign in without data connection or wi-fi. Is there any way to get past this without data rewipe. It's really stupid of Google to have a security mechanism that forces you to wipe your data, meaning anyone can just pick up your phone and spam the pattern till it goes to the email screen (which is what happened in my case).
I have a rooted phone with an unlocked bootloader and USB debugging enabled and I also have downloaded Eclipse Android SDK but have no idea how to use it. It would be nice if someone gave me step-wise instructions on switching on my wi-fi through the SDK so that I can connect over the internet and log in.
Of course, any other legit method is also fine, but the 'home button method' doesn't work for my phone (you know, keep pressing the home button). I have tried getting APKs that will help me bypass the lock screen but they dont work.

Android Device Manager is not able to pinpoint the location of my phone. Do I need wi-fi for this? The only options I see right now for my phone are to change the name, give it a ring or lock or erase.

I have finally found a way. No root or USB debugging required.
