Hello all. I have an early Christmas present for all the Stock firmware users.
I have created a usb tethering application that should work for all Android devices regardless of root access. The code is and will always be GPL. I used the azilink android app written by aziwoqpd--> http://forum.xda-develoers.com/showthread.php?t=481162
I have to give him lots of credit, because without his app this would not work.
This has been tested on the G1 and the Motorolla Droid. It should work on the Hero, MyTouch(Confirmed working), etc... The GUI should install and work on all versions (x86, x86_64) of Windows starting with XP.
The GUI that I have written controls the adb port forwarding and openvpn connection while showing status. Please test this application and let me know how it goes.

Nope. This is USB Tether for non rooted users
Link is down for azilink, use this link instead for more information:
http://code.google.com/p/azilink/
Confirmed working on Windows 7, and doesn't require root.
Edit: The zip in original post contains the GUI, the apk, and open vpn. Start the apk, then click "connect" on the azilink-gui. Make sure "USB debugging" is enabled in Settings on your phone.
Thanks a lot.

Wifi tether and USB tether are two totally different methods of tethering.
Wifi tether doesn't utilize the usb cable to tether.

USB Tether requires the device to be connected to the Computer via USB.
Wifi tether allows users to wirelessly connect to your device via their Computer.

I see, so say I want to put this on my girlfriends Mytouch, does she NEED ADB installed on her PC?

ADB is included in the azilink-gui installer. The only thing you will need to do manually is install the driver which is included in the install directory.

Download ADB from here:
http://azilink.googlecode.com/files/adb.zip
I'm not sure if ADB is built into the azilink-gui, so it's safe to just install it on your girlfriend's PC.

I've successfully rooted my x10a and installed wi-fi tether 1.51 with no luck. Whenever I press on "- Press to start tethering -", I get a window displaying
Sorry!
The application Wireless Tether for Root Users (process android.tether) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
Any of you guys had any luck?

I'm not using that specific app but I do use wifi tethering.
I installed Barnacle Wifi Tether and then in settings i set athwlan0 as the LAN port.
It works fine for me, I get 7+ mbits and it's held up for over 5GB so far. Might be worth a shot.
Thanks for the reply. I'm getting an Error notification:

That's the error I got before I manually set up the LAN interface. Did you change that setting?
no, I didn't change a thing. Simply pressed Start as soon as i opened it. I've tried reinstalling it, but no luck
what's your WAN and LAN interfaces set as?

Follow the instructions I posted. The WAN interface is already set, you need to set the LAN interface.

read he`s second line , in settings i set athwlan0 as the LAN port
I tried "android wifi tether", It says "no netfilter", by reading the guide from that developer's website, it says we need to get an android 1.6 update. I think it means the android 1.6 in our X10 is the earlier version of 1.6, those tethering software require something in the later version of 1.6. I also found the update on that website, but, X10 does not have recovery mode, so I dont know how to flash the "update.zip" into my x10
I manually set the LAN, but still no luck. The same error screen appears...

Do you have SuperUser working properly? Another thing can also be the WAN setting, it should be something like rmnet0.
i think my superuser is installed properly... I followed the instructions given by bin4ry pretty closely and everything worked. WAN automatically was set to rmnet0.
Hmm, when I use setCpu, it says root not detected... that's kinda akward.

Yeah, it sounds like your rooting has an error. There was a bunch of updated files posted in the rooting guide among them a new SuperUser.apk, post #4 I think.
Confirmed working.

Well you shouldn't need to turn on wifi manually, the app does that automatically. Other than that I have no clue.

But I have a question, will the data gauge in "traffic" start to increase rapidly when there is no tethering device connected?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
it solved my interface error!
as for the PERMISSION ERROR
I redid the root from Step1-4 (including the hard reset)
it was related to the superuser.apk.
Thank you again for the info.
Zeph, thanks. I will give it a go once I arrive to work.
Thanks again for all the help everyone. I will let you know if it works.

sorry, it did not work. I guess I'll first flash the phone to x10i, then redo the entire 4 steps. My phone was originally x10a.
Will let you know.
Hi Everyone,
I was wondering currently I have tested out the Wireless Tether app and its not working for me. I have tried it with or with out access control and neither works. I was wondering if anyone know of an app that works with 2.2 or some changes that need to be made to get it working.
Thanks!
yeah i had that problem too... but the following worked for me with access control on or off and ssd name changed.
1. install this one - http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/files/wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre8.apk
2. restart phone
3. test it out.
4. let us know who it worked.
Hi,
I updated the APK rebooted, I am still not able to see the device. I also tried removing permissions from the old app from superuser and regranting them. Any other ideas?

The copy you uploaded works except for access control, as soon as i enable it it will still connect to the computer but there is no internet access and wifi tether reports starting with errors. WEP still seems to work.

this just happened to me this weekend, it worked with a friends laptop then I shut it off for a while and on next start up it says i'm up and running but the laptop couldn't connect to it anymore. Then again last night I got error and wouldn't start up i'll try to post what the error was on mine. that was using barnacle teather. I endedup using pdanet or w/e but needed to wire it up for it to work.
As the title suggests this is how you enable tethering without the verification process at&t has that checks to see if you are on the tethering plan. Beware it will suck up your data so if you don't have the unlimited data plan (most folks dont) you can run up your bill. Of course you can always just use a custom ROM.
1)get the update from samsung via kies
2)root your phone I used SuperOneClick
3)install TitaniumBackup
4)In Titanium Backup look for an application called Tethering Manager 1.0 uninstall it
Plug your phone in usb and turn on tethering. I unplugged the network cable from my PC and just plugged in my droid so I can verify that this worked for me. I did have to toggle the use packet data under the wireless networks menu off then on one time to get it to work but not on subsequent attempts. I don't have my laptop at work so I can't test the wireless hot spot feature but when you turn it on it doesn't go through the verification so I'm assuming that works also.
So for those of you that don't want a custom ROM and want tethering there you go.

you can also delete tetheringmanager from the /system/apps folder using root explorer if preferred.
will this also enable Mobile AP or only USB tethering?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Just checked from my home laptop and yes Mobile AP also works. On the screen to turn in on or off it will say you need the feature on your account and to dial 611. But you won't need to do that as it will not enter "verifying" mode.
Since the real update was not available until today, I suspect that these tests were not done with "official" AT&T 2.2 update.
Removing the TetheringManager.apk does NOT work with the official release.

you sure about that? you know, cause the version we already had IS the official release...it just got to us early.
Just tried removing TetheringManager 0114.apk from /system/app and rebooting.
When I look at Settings > Tethering it still has the notice about needing a tethering account, turning on USB tethering seems to do nothing, and EasyTether still doesn't work.
(With the apk removed, Tethering 1.0 no longer shows up in TitaniumBackup)
I am using the official release that I got over kies from samsung I did it this morning. I shall send a screen shot of my phone if you really want it.

if you are on official release, you probably need to remove .odex file too, if it exists.
but regardless, when you remove the tethering apk, you will still see the message
To test this. Make sure you have no internet connection on the pc you are connected to disconect or shut off your pc's wi-fi or unplug it from the network. Make sure debug mode is off... Plug your phone in when it gets to the screen asking what you want to do just click home. Pull up tethering turn it on wait. Pull up a browser see if you are connected. If your useing a mac I can't help you. Will try to do this on linux when I get a moment.
Hmm... Looks like there has been some additional posts since my last refresh so I'll change my post a bit.
I tested and verified this on an official rom updated using Kies mini. I used root explorer to rename the TetheringManager0114.apk file to TetheringManager0114.apk.disable. This was to keep the file around just in case it is needed later on. I rebooted the phone and I tested both Mobile AP and USB Tethering. Both worked as expected but I had to do an ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew to get them to kick through. I had wifi disabled on my laptop (was used to test) and no ethernet cable plugged in. There is no odex file to worry about in the official release for Tethering Manager.
P.S. - As already stated above you will still get that message.

i didn't have to take any steps aside from removing the tethering apk
Ok !!! it works.
My problem was really pretty simple ... the tethering AP is on channel 6, as is my home AP.
The home AP was completely swamping the the android AP so I couldn't even see it.
Anyone know how to change the channel on the Android AP???
I completely deleted my file it never occured to me I may need it later on. Can one of you kind people post or pm with it?

or you can use an app called pda net

check cog4 he has a link in the op with the apk
Here's the long and hackish way to do it if you don't want to buy some apps. It's long but relatively safe. Not responsible if you brick or do other bad things(tm) to your phone!
1. Root your phone. Nothing sinister here and easy to do with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
2. Install the Android Developer SDK onto your machine (good for sideloading apps) For info on installing and sideloading visit
http://ars.samsung.com/customer/usa...ID=2&PROD_SUB_ID=557&PROD_ID=558&AT_ID=303992
Yes, Samsung tells you how to get around AT&T.
3. Open a command prompt (in Windows go to your search bar and type "cmd")
4. Navigate to where adb is installed. In mine (Win 7 64 bit) this was C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
Code:
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
If you need some help, open Windows Explorer (not IE) and search for adb.exe, then copy the path as text and paste (right click) into cmd
4b. If you've not done so before, please put your phone into USB Debugging mode
5. Open the adb shell
Code:
adb shell
6. Go up to root. Your screen will look like this
Code:
$ su
su
#
The # means you are now root. You may, on your phone's screen, need to approve this
7. Mount the system folder into read-write (this is why you need root)
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
8. Move to /system/app
Code:
cd /system/app
9. This is where the aforementioned TetheringManager0114.apk lives (boooo!) If you want to verify this (these commands are all cAsE sensitive)
Code:
ls Te*
Should dump out
Code:
ls Te*
TelephonyProvider.apk
TelephonyProvider.odex
[COLOR="Red"]TetheringManager0114.apk[/COLOR]
We want to RENAME the file
Code:
# mv TetheringManager0114.apk TetheringManager0114.apk.old
10. IMPORTANT - remount /system in read-only
Code:
mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/stl9 /system
11. Restart your phone and enjoy your tethering (but not too much, lest you run up your bill!)
Please note that this does NOT remove the AT&T notices about needing an account when you go to enable tethering.
This is for those who want to connect to internet using pc without wifi!!!
There were several threads about reverse tethering that required windows essentials,that were still in beta version.Foll all the guys who wanted this a new app in market has been released!!!!
Search the market for "reverse tether"!!! (SORRY THIS IS MY 1st POST.SO I CANT PROVIDE LINKS)
Just follow the instructions wich should really work.
if not,**try bridging ur android network and ur pc network.if stiil doesnt work,unselect
*appear as 3g
*notify me when connected!! I assure u this will definitely work!!!
The application is a trial version wich can be accessed between (11:00 - 15:00),,,if u wish,the full version is also available!! hope this post helped!!! NOTE:FOR ROOTED USERS ONLY!!!
NOTE!!
If u wnt to access using trial version at any time of day..just change ur phone timings to between (12;00 to 3:00)!!!!! IF U LIKE THIS PLAESE SAY THANKS!!! NO FUSS!!
problem is all cm7 for my mobile have usb tether bug .. and the app doesn't work with wired tether app ;(
I download and try all cm7 2day after read tht post
I hope to find fix for the bug soon
When you say without wifi. Do you mean the PC and phone don't have wifi working radios? Because if they do and you have a wired internet connection just use connectify. It's free and works great. I may have misunderstood the purpose of the thread though.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
After reviewing the app I guess I don't see my personal usefulness in such an app unless either the PC or phone don't have functioning wifi radios. Which I could see in a desktop. I do however see the usefulness on connecting to a PC to use it's internet. Clearly this app is for others that do require this function.

problem
I upgraded to the latest one today and it seemed to start working. After running the program (I had it set to control 3g....or make apps work as if it saw 3g), it won't let me connect to v* with networking. Voice and sms works fine, but the 3g/1x doesn't work at all.
I'm going to try to restore from a backup and see what happens. Anybody have any ideas?
---------- Post added at 01:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:47 AM ----------
Not sure what happened, but I restored from a clockworkmod recovery backup I did earlier today (before I used reverse tether). Luckily, this seemed to get my network connection (3g/1x) back.
Reverse Tether is a great idea and it's really something I need, but I'm a little leery about using it now since it messed my 3g connection up.
Not working..
Hello..
It only worked for one time but now whenever i try to connect it says "cant establish a connection, please make sure that your internet is shared"
my internet connection is shared, remote NDIS usb driver is also installed ..
