Hi wondering if its possible to root and use wireless tether for the new htc evo. I see they have the hotspot installed but its a monthly fee service. Can I use the wireless tether like I use to on the hero?
Thanks
much like sublimenal above, I'm new to XDA, and I'm jumping in because this is the place to be for the How-to.
Can someone direct me as to where to read up specifically on the the EVO root and tether process? Am I jumping the gun, and there is a walkthrough in development?
Regardless, thank you ahead.
Hey there, actually i just did it yesterday. It was extremly simlple, nothing like rooting the hero and took me about 3 minutes total lol. Here is the process.
1. on your phone go to http://unrevoked.com/m/
2. download the apk file
3. install the apk file and click start
4. you are rooted!
5. go to this url and scan the code with barcode scanner http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...name=wireless_tether_2_0_2-pre14.apk&can=2&q=
6. install the tether app
7 run the tether app and your solid!
foserious? Man! THANK YOU!
I'm gonna do this right now!
Yeah I couldn't believe it, the hero took me a few hours to figure out how to root/tether even with the tutorials. This was extremely simple, i guess it works for the hero as well but only if you didn't install the 2.1 update.
man, thank you so much. Everything went awesomely.
Now it's time for me to donate to these code commanders.

If you want to install custom roms dont use unrevoked root.
whats wrong.
Why is everyone's evo working on tether and mine i always have problems.If its that simple i would think mine would work.I got tether running and says limited connectivity on my laptop.Also i downloaded the tether on the market place.Could that be the wrong tether...??
please check your tether log, and post any pertinent info.
Also, does your laptop identify the connection as Ad Hoc? What IP does your laptop get if any? Are you using any features with tether like WEP?
Details plz.
Thank you..................
I want to thank everyone that has helped me figure everything out.Just a few things i need to know.
1. Can sprint find out your using tether?
2. Are there settings i can adjust so no one can use tether but me?That way not anybody can connect to it?
3.When using tether,is it best to turn on 4g or is it okay with 3g running?
4. Can i connect more then one device using tether??
Thank you all...
Step 5
Ok i clicked on the url to scan the code and the page wont load. Any suggestions, or maybe different link? I got a 502 server error.
please help..newby...
hi all..please dont be hard on too hard on me for not being a "tech wizard" but I have a couple of questions..I just bought the EVO and I am new to android OS I have always been a windows user so I am pretty clueless on how the android operating system really works my main concern is being able to tether with the EVO with my TP2 I was able to use walking hotspot which now I cant use with android and pda.net which I cant use with my Ipad unless my android device is rooted.can someone post step by step instructions on how to "root" to be able to tether and also if there is a way to "back up" my info just incase something happens.and what to do if I want to restart the phones to the original factory settings just incase I decide to return the device within my 30 day trial..I am hoping all the battery tricks work and I am able to tether with out a problem if not this baby is going back to the store..thanks and I apologize in advance for my ignorance with this topic.I have owned windows mobile devices since it was first introduced so I am clueless to anything else
I'd start by looking in the correct forum or using search.

Sprint monitors data usage, however if you look at your bill the extra $10usd that you are paying gives you unlimited data usage on 3g and 4g. Just be aware that Sprint has reserved the right to throttle down your bandwidth.
Can it be done free? My phone is rooted, I just want to know if it can be done for free before paying for an app like PDANet or EasyTether. I Saw a project on code.google.com called 'android-wifi-tether' but it wont work on this phone (need a custom kernel). I am behind on android by quite a bit. Is there a better custom rom I should be utilizing on this phone or should I make sprint's stock rom try to work for me?
search on the market for
"wireless tether"
there is a free app called "wireless tether for root"
works great on my magic running cyan ..

So I've purchased a Huawei S7 and it's 99% perfect. The 1% is the lack of the VPN support. There is no VPN support in this build that I can find. I used Wifi Buddy, but I believe that just uses the same backend files as the normal Android builds.
I have a rooted Droid 2 with ClockWorkRecovery and Titanium Backup. Is there a way I can pull the files off of that and incorporate them in to the S7?
When I use the Wifi buddy, it will not connect, just says it had an error while connecting to the server. I ran a form of TCPDump on the router and it's not even attempting a connection. When I use my D2 on the same wifi, behind the same routers/firewall, it connects fine.
I've searched high and low but I'm not finding an app that will do the VPN that my router supports or it has the same issues as the Wifi buddy. It has to be PPTP or L2TP. OpenVPN is not a viable option.
Any opinions, suggestions, hacks, etc? The S7 is rooted as well.
I use a free app called "NeoRouter VPN Free Edition" from the marketplace on my S7, it requires that you run a client app on a PC or server on your network, which you can download from their website, and port forward from your router to that app, once you have done that it is GREAT and free, I use it to remote desktop over and it works perfectly.
Hope that helps
I guess I'll have to do that if all other options don't exist. I'm pretty sure it can be done. I'm hoping it's as simple as getting the FM Radio ported from the Droid X to the Droid 2. If that can be done, I'm sure the VPN matter can be resolved....I'm hoping.
I just went through my Titanium Backup app on my Droid 2 and found 'VPN Services 2.2' listed as something I can backup/restore. I really wish there was a functioning and stable recovery for this thing so I could throw that on, backup the system, boot, 'restore' these services and see if they work. Granted I'd be going from (for all intensive purposes) VPN Services and applying them to Android 2.1, but it's worth a shot I suppose. I just don't want to FUBAR the device without a way to revert.
Hello,
Thanks to all the great folks here on this forum I have modded my Gtab and I am really loving the experience.
I am currently running TnT Lite 2.4 and find it very stable. I did the Market fix that allows most os the apps to show up. Still using the old Market interface which accurately shows my downloaded and purchased apps. I have installed ADWlauncher EX and not looked back.
Since buying my Gtab I have rooted my MyTouch 3g 1.2 and implemented Barnacle to create an ad hoc wifi hotspot that works very well with my Gtab.
I read somewhere here that somebody was able to connect their phone GPS to the Gtab through the use of a combination of shareGPS and BlueGPS. I can't seem to find the shareGPS application anywhere on the Market with my phone or the Gtab. Is this due to the fact that my phone is still an Android 1.6 phone? If possible can someone point me to the sharegps apk file that would work on my phone?

Greetings forum members,
I have a basic question and hopefully someone or multiple people could help me out. I am currently in the market for a tablet;Asus Transformer or the Acer A500. I currently have a Moto Droid X running OTA 2.3.3 and of course no root options at this time.
I have the application called PDAnet for my computer when the internet goes out at home and I need the internet for quick access. I am wondering if anyone knows of an app like PDAnet that I can install on the tablet and tether to my phone for internet access.
Yes I know I can sbf back to froyo and re-root and install the gingerbreak leak that already has root to do the wireless tether. That is currently my last option. I wouldn't be doing the tether very much but it would be nice for my trip to Disney World next month with the family.
Thank you for time on reviewing this post and I am hoping alot of people will help out. GO XDA FORUMS!
i have an X and transformer.. and easy tether, which i think is the same basically as pdaNET..... and none of those tethering apps are gonna work because they require you to load software onto the the device supplying the data. for example i have to install and .exe application on my windows computer to tether it via my X for a data connection. im not aware of of any of the tethering apps that have made a .apk app to install on an android platform to use as the source of the data tether..... just gonna have to do your homework and root the X.... its really easy and once you do it ull love your tablet even more.
Both the Transformer and A500 tablets only recognize infrastructure wifi unless you root them and either do a supplicant replacement or install a custom ROM. On my Acer A500 I rooted & installed latest Taboonay custom ROM which instantly allowed my tablet to find all Ad-HOC signals, including the signal from my Epic 4G Touch with WiFi Tether Version 3.1-beta6 installed. Not sure but you MIGHT get lucky linking your PDAnet to a tablet running the Taboonay ROM.
