Can one of the admins remove my tether sticky and make this thread a sticky...
Thanks

wow...thx to all involved in this -- looks great

Cool little app. Just installed and it works great. Wish there was an easy way to change the SSID.

Remove old
i installed this the other day and this is great.
Works 100% perfect.
the only question is how do i remove the old Tether1.6
I have been looking around but i cant figure out how to uninstall/remove the old setup
Thanks again

Great job. Open source ftw

Awesome ap and well done. Thanks!!!

To echo memphis, will installing this conflict in any way with tether 1.6? Does this overwrite Tether 1.6?

working flawlessly
now, if only T mobile would roll out 3g in my market
q1 2009, my foot

I just deleted tether 1.6 from my sd & installed this tether and it works flawlessly, no conflicts at all.

Awesome. Tethering can't get easier than this.

This is brilliant. Getting the best transfer speeds for any tethering program yet. Getting about 1200kbps over 3g!

yes thats work great man good job

Now because I'm a neat freak, I have to ask:
How does one go about "uninstalling" the tetherv1.6 package?

I have to chime in here just to emphasize how amazing this app is. It includes security and it's free! I can't see this app getting any better than it already is!!!
Many thanks to the developer for this amazing app =)

Are you using a mod to run application from sd-card? If yes, this might be the problem ...

You can just leave it, or manually delete each of the files...
From a terminal session (adb shell or terminal on the phone) type:
su
rm /data/local/dnsmasq.conf
rm /data/local/dnsmasq.conf-secure
rm /data/local/dnsmasq.leases
rm /data/local/tiwlan.ini
rm /data/local/bin/tether
rm /data/local/bin/iptables
rm /data/local/bin/dnsmasq
There ya go...

works great! thanks

I still see dnsmasq.pid in that folder. Should I delete? (I also see bin and tmp, don't think those should be deleted correct?)
-----
Nevermind, bin is a folder. Which is now empty. tmp is also an empty folder. The question remains, what to do w/ dnsmasq.pid? It's not hurting anything so far, so I'm not touching.

WiFi Tether Haykuro Test App Info!!! Problems with Unknown State Error...read on.

This version of the app (wifi-tether) works with all the current Haykuro builds
5.0.1Gr3
5.0.1Gr3 apps to sd*
5.0.2Hr3
5.0.2Hr3 apps to sd*
*The only problem is that for the apps to sd version of haykuro's builds, is when you move the cache to the sd card, it causes an unknown state error when you try to start the app.
I was wondering if anyone,seriously anyone could help the few who want to have the wifi tether app with cache to sd.
Please please help me with this one.
If im missing any valuable info. please tell me so i can provide you to help me out.
Thank you.

HTC Legend Root & Downgrade

Hi,
I'm new here, so I don't know how to put this...
I have a HTC Legend 2.2 Froyo with HBoot 1.01 and I want to downgrade and root it so I can put CM7 on it. Can anyone tell me how to do this?
Thanks!

Thanks, but at the first step, where I type ''adb shell'' it
says:''adb: permission denied''.
What do I have to do?

On linux, make sure adb is executable. On windows, make sure you run cmd as an administrator

Help?
I always did it on my phone with Terminal Emulator(Temprooted). When I type in ''adb shell'' it gives ''adb: permission denied''. When I try it on my PC(Windows) With only charge and USB debugging on, adb doesn't find my phone.(This is also in fastboot mode)
It gives: ''error: device not found''. What on earth am I doing wrong?

Adb isn't executed on the phone, it's on the pc. The phone should be running normally when you run it (with usb debugging enabled)
Also install htc sync to get the correct drivers
Rehash: start the phone normally. Ensure usb debugging is enabled. Plug the gizmo into your pc. Run adb shell in the command prompt as administrator

Adb is not a valid binary on the phone.
When you issue adb shell you're dropped in to the shell on the phone. Any commands entered there execute on the phone. Type exit to get out of the shell before executing the push commands

Oh OK, I see, but when I type in just ''push goldcard.img /data/local/'' after adb shell, it says: ''push: permission denied''. (running as admin in windows and temprooted phone)

Exit out of the phone's shell, them the command is
Code:
adb push goldcard.img /data/local

Are you trying to root your phone or what?

@op, check your PM's please.

Holy ****. S-off with 1.17bootloader with the stock bootloader...

I'm envious to say the least, where did this phone come from? Network? Supplier?

Would you mind dumping your hboot and uploading it to a dropbox/upload site?
Code:
cd c:\adb
adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 of=/sdcard/hboot.img
It would be useful to have this hboot version.

You'll need to install the android sdk, download the google usb drivers from it and get your phone set up as a ADB Composite Interface. Then make sure USB debugging is enabled on your phone and you'll be able to run the above commands.

You shouldn't be getting a root denial from that command. It looks like HTC *really* bolted it down. Out of curiosity, have you tried downloading Superuser from market? If you have an unlocked boot loader, there is a very very VERY slight chance that you might be able to su out of the box. Doubtful but its worth a try.

just updated everything and got this also SU didnt work ]:

What's the package for Service Provider update?

Randomly, out of no where, started getting "Service Provider Update" dialog about install software for my sim. Accepting it throws it into recovery with an error.
What's the package for it so I can disable it?
EDIT: After messing around with ADB, isolated the package: com.sec.android.AutoPreconfig.
A couple users had this issue in the T-mobile and Verizon forums, as well as I on U firmware, so hopefully this'll help those who encounter this issue with root.

Any chance you can provide instructions on how to disable or delete via adb??
EDIT: Figured it out:
You must be rooted, and then enter adb shell.
Then enter the following commands:
adb shell
su
pm list packages -e | grep 'AutoPreconfig'
pm disable com.sec.android.AutoPreconfig

"lightbox_close": "Close",

Thank You. I was having this issue for two days.

Thank you so much ! =）

Or just delete the APK file, also stops all the crappy carrier related apps installing

Good evening friends,
My Note 10 + N95F always when get start, more less 1 min later show me this mensage Service Provider Update.
Do you know If it work in N975F Android 10 ?
If yes, can I use these Comands in Teminal Emulator for Android 10 with ROOT?
adb shell
su
pm list packages -e | grep 'AutoPreconfig'
pm disable com.sec.android.AutoPreconfig
Thank you very Much

The "Service Provider Update" dialog pops up on Android 12 on my Samsung M-127f after installing Magisk. And the AutoPreconfig app isn't on android 12. and i can't uninstall an app that doesn't exist. So what to do then to solve it without going stock?
