Hello,
This is a dead easy fix to get tethering working completely with android-wifi-tether (http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/):
UPDATE
New development version has support for this rolled in, instructions are no longer necessary:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...name=wireless_tether_2_0_2-pre14.apk&can=2&q=
Steps:
1. Open adb shell (start cmd.exe, run "adb shell")
2. Issue the following commands:
- "mkdir /sdcard/android.tether"
- "cat /etc/firmware/fw_bcm4329_ap.bin > /sdcard/android.tether/fw_bcm4329.bin"
3. Download and install the android-wifi-tether application, start tethering.
Your log from android-wifi-tether should look like the attached image.
Happy configuration free tethering!
NOTE: This works because of the two separate firmwares that HTC has included in /etc/firmware. One is specific for AP-mode and must be more open to this kind of stuff. The original bug stemmed from the usual firmware dropping ARP requests pretty consistently, possibly as a powersaving measure.
The second firmware is loaded using the firmware_path option when loading the bcm4329.ko kernel module.
anyone else confirm this working please.
I confirm this working...
You will need to have root to run the app of course but 2 or 3 people have confirmed it on bug 362 already on the google project.
Not working for me
AWESOME!!!
actually i ever use wifi tether but this is pretty cool because it actually worked. i know on the heroC we had issues with wifi tether all of a sudden not wrking after 2.1. nice to see that its been fixed. good work spreading the word
ya. it will get SU permissions,
i can find the connection.
i connect to it. but no data transmitting.
would be cool if someone can confirm 4g is able to be tethered.

Not confirming but based on what I read harry_m stated the wifi tether app uses the current connection, so in theory if you switch between 3g and 4g the app will switch accordingly.
i can confirm
I originally flashed with toast's rom. Used the recovery .bat to install Flipz's stock root rom.
I then flashed toast's radio rom.
wifi tether did NOT work.
I then performed the above instructions, and viola, it works fine. (i am posting via wifi tether)
I want to thank everyone who is hard at work on these projects, you guys are awesome.

Check that the log screen looks exactly like mine does. Did you get any errors when you issued the adb commands?
Look on your sdcard for the android.tether folder and see if fw_bcm4329.bin file exists there.

It should work according to one of the comments given about the issue. http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=362#c36
Because I am weary of rooting my phone not being able to return it to stock, I am gonna try it with the unrevoked root first.

no errors in adb.
and the .bin file is sitting in the directory.
and the log looks like yours.
running toasts ROM
can't get this to work
followed instructions, and when i click on the tether button it instantly says: unable to start tethering, please try again!
log screen is completely blank
any ideas?

I meant the screen in android-wifi-tether, does it look like the screen cap I included? It should have a debug line about the loaded firmware on the first item.
- Didn't see the edit you made with that screen:
Have you done the OTA update? Could be the SD card bug possibly. The log screen shows it didn't load the external firmware.
"Unable to start teterhing try again"
I skimmed this thread, I am using toast's rom.
I have just applied the Unrevoked root. I cannot access the sdcard via adb shell. Any ideas?
When i send command
"cat /etc/firmware/fw_bcm4329_ap.bin > /sdcard/android.tether/fw_bcm4329.bin"
it gives me error msg
"cannot creat /sdcard/android.tether/fw_bcm4329.bin: directory nonexistent"
i followed this same exactly.
no errors in adb.
and the .bin file is sitting in the directory.

I have been trying to for over a week in the captivate forum to get ANYONE to try and help me and so far no one will. So i'm really hoping someone will take the time, i will PAY YOU UP FRONT over paypal to help me. I am DEAD SERIOUS.
Have a captivate, but this problem is not exclusive to this phone. This error has happened on just about any/every android phone there is.
Phone was working fine, have been putting any and all custom roms on that i wanted, but went to install a new custom rom (cog4), and it fails every single time at system/xbin/su. Now ANY rom i install (custom), gives me that same error. NO CUSTOM ROM WILL INSTALL. THEY ALL FAIL. I have flashed back to stock a million times, wiped, re-partitioned the sd card, master cleared, and done all of those in every combination possible. The ONLY rom i can put on here is the one i had RIGHT before this problem started (cog3.04). Only roms that can be flashed via odin will go on my phone now. All zip files fail.
I am not a noob and know my way around a computer. I promise if someone tries to help me i will be very prompt in my responses and will try ANYTHING that you ask me to. I have been googling for over a week hours a day, i am never gonna resolve this issue unless someone with the know-how helps me Every time this topic is brought up on any forum on the internet, the problem never gets solved and it fades away....there is no answers out there. Someone who knows this stuff is my only hope
I will pay you to help me even if your troubleshooting does not work
Just out of curiosity, did you open Rom Manager once you installed it to grant it superuser rights? Also, make sure you Click the top link in Rom Manger and choose your phone. "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery"
Yes tim i have done that.
I sent you a private message -- here is the same:
Have you tried adb root - and then from / rm -rf * and see if you can wipe all clean. Ofcourse if the issue is the partition, then this won't help. Also I have never tried this - as this has never been an issue for me.

I read that post but the update-script in Cog4 doesn't have those lines. You could in theory edit the script so that it just has those three lines but I'm not sure that would be sufficient to install Cog4. That may be a question for DG.
Do you have the root explorer app?

Not sure as this looks like a patch and specifically asks for no wipe. Also my knowledge is limited as to what harm you can do that will make the phone unusable -- BUT you are already into that realm . Perhaps someone with deeper specific experience can answer this????
Open Root Explorer and remount R/W. Switch to the system partition and look at the permissions on bin and xbin. They should both be rwxr-xr-x

If it doesn't install, try installing Terminal Emulator from the Market
Ok so inside of the system folder they both have the permissions set to what you wrote.... .
There is only a bin in the folder right before the system folder...should there be an xbin there too?
As My desire is amoled and unbranded i don't know for sure if this tut gonna help Slcd/Branded desire user if some one with slcd or branded desire fix there brick by follow this tut please leave a comment Here.
*To work this Hole Thing Out You need to setup Adb and fastboot in your pc,if you don't know how to do it follow this nice Guide.
http://androidforums.com/desire-all-things-root/337356-faq-adb-fastboot-windows-updated-1st-june-2011-a.html
Last few days i saw lots of people having usb brick problem even after they flashed the Ruu.exe or PB99IMG.zip update via hboot that because misc.img is corrupted and they stuck on stock rom without any usb function.Few Days ago i was in the same situation and solved my problem thought i should share this Information with people who need help.
Note-If you usb bricked on s-off device then try this fastboot command to solve this
fastboot oem enableqxdm 0(unblock your sd-card)
fastboot oem eraseconfig(fix misc partition)
if above command don't work then you have to flash a ruu.exe or PB99IMG.zip file via hboot to return to stock
rom usally that fix the usb brick but some time that trick also fails,if that happen then you have to go through the process below.
If your device is branded then create a goldcard and flash a unbranded PB99IMG.ZIP cause maybe this not gonna work on branded device.
I solve my usb brick this way
after return to stock rom via PB99IMG.zip file flash via hboot(didn't fix my usb brick so i had to do the steps below)
1.i unlocked my sd card via fastboot command"fastboot oem enableqxdm 0" sd card recognized by phone and i can browse it via file explorer.
note-you can access your sdcard only via file explorer nothing else so after execute the command download a file explorer from android market.
2.then i copied the visionary+(it gave me temporary root access which is needed to work this whole thing out).
root explorer,terminal emulator apk and those usb bricked update file(image_flash,mtd0.img) to sdcard from pc via card reader and installed them.
before copy those update file on sd card i edited the mtd0.img to put correct cid n rom info via hex editor.
To find cid info
If you don't know your Cid then type this command in fastboot-fastboot oem boot this will show you info about your phone cid.when the info shows up look for‘INFOCID HTC___xxx'
To find The Rom version-Go to Settings>About phone>Software Information and note your Software Number.
3.after that i copied those update file in phone memory to copy file in phone memory you have to set permission for r/w.When open root explorer look at the top left corner you will see mount as r/o mount r/w tap on mount r/w that's it you set permission to read/write on your phone memory and copy the file in
/data/data/ folder and set permission for r/w and execute for those file via root explorer.
4.after that i simply typed this command in terminal emulator
"su
/data/data/flash_image misc /data/data/mtd0.img"
Rebooted my phone and voila usb brick is gone htc sync,usb tethering,sd card mount,charge everything is working and now i am rooted and s-off again
Note-you don't need the rageagainstthecage file which only need if you try to get root access via terminal emulator which is lengthy n complicated but with visionary+ you can get root access with 1 click and it's much easier than typing command in T.E.
If above information helps you to fix Your usb brick Please Leave a comment Here and you can also hit the Thanks button

when you open the mtd0 file with hex editor look for
"HTC_1xx"-your cid
"ClearAutoImage .x.xx.405.x"-your rom value
and edit those according to your cid and rom value information.
i updated the thread with some more useful info so recheck the 1st post.

Glad that it worked out for you about V+ root,TBH i don't know but my opinion is it's safer to use unrevocked for root.
Marc. said:
I read it, but a few questions...
( My phone is S-ON )
1. I'm not on a stock rom, but on Insertcoin
2. I can already acces my SD card, so can I skip the first step? Done that yesterday already.
3. Can I use the mtd0.img generator? If yes I have already the file.
4. With step 3, which files must be in /data/data?
5. With step 2, I have super user, so can I use that instead of the root acces thing?

Quote from the other topic, maybe you read it here faster.
Edit, just tried it. I generated my mtd0.img out of another topic. Read a lot, and it works perfect again!! Thanks!! You saved my phone!

Hi, again
I have a new problem after fixing the USB Brick. I can't root my desire using Unrevoked 3, it was always failed on process uninstalling unrevoked3 system and showed :
Validation error : Backup CID is Missing
do you have any idea for this problem?
thx for your respond
That same error showed up when i tried to root after usb brick but in my app drawer the super user icon showed that means it worked somehow even after the error,so check your app drawer and recovery if you see the su icon and cwm recovery then it worked don't worry about the error

incase you dont have sdk installed put all files in a folder on your C:/ directory with a name you can find. Youll need these in addition to be able to use adb on your computer File name: SDK ADB.zip File size: 359.93 KB put them all in a folder called rootxoom or something.

His Xoom is 3G there is no OTA update to 3.2 for 3G.
I really would not relock and go back to stock. He's rooted and that's more than half the battle.

Make sure USB Debugging is checked under Settings/Applications/Development. If it is checked, then there is something wrong with your drivers.

I'd like to do the same as OP, update a rooted stock 3.0.1 euro 3G to 3.2 - I've already come across the thread you link to, but there's something I don't get.
pienut (user whose post you linked to) is saying that he went from 3.0.1 to 3.2, but in step 3 he writes:
Step 3 - Install 3.2 EURO rom:
Just copied the Euro 3.2 update from this post to my SD Card and flashed it from recovery.
Just to be sure, I did a full wipe after flashing.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Am I missing something, or is the SD card not disabled in 3.0.1? I know it is for me, afaik it only started working with 3.1 and up. I can't wrap my mind around going from 3.0.1 -> 3.2 using the SD card method, and yet it's mentioned in quite a few more threads and posts.
Ideally, I'd like to update to the Xoom ROM 2.1 Hammerhead (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1203635), but in those instructions, too, step 2 says
Download the 2.1 rom zip file and place it on your external sdcard
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
How, if I can't access it in the first place? Should I install 3.1 first before I install Hammerhead? If so, do you know about any step-by-step I can follow?
Sorry to jump in on this thread like this... it was the closest I could find related to my problem after hours of searching and reading. Thanks.
Alright, I figured it out on my own... I took a leap of faith and installed the ClockworkMod Recovery 3.2.0.0 (R4c), booted to recovery, and in there it's possible to mount the SD card under mounts and storage > mount usb storage. It will then appear in Windows as an external drive (as usual).
Yay, learned something new today. Now on to the next battle
Hi guys
I recently purchase an MID N900 android tab with ice-cream sandwich.
It already has root access.
i didn't have read/write access so i installed remount and applied it to my external memory card.
I also installed rom toolbox lite to increase performance.
After I rebooted my device , the internal memory shows 0 and now i can't install any apps besides the terminal.
I don't know which app caused this issue but i think its remount.
I also can't access recovery mode.
I did a factory reset and it didn't help.
I don't know if this is of any help but every time i restart the device everything goes back to factory settings. It shows you the guide
when you start your device for the first time.
How can i reset the internal storage back to normal
Any help would be highly appreciated
Thanks a lot

I found a solution, hopefully this can help someone in the future
The problem was i installed busybox using an installer which causing some file discrepancies.
To fix it :
1. Install Android Terminal Emulator, this app can be installed even if storage shows full.
2. copy /system/xbin/busybox to /system/bin, if busybox is installed the code is "busybox cp /system/xbin/busybox to /system/bin"
When I did the above, all my previous apps and setting came back to normal

Hi! I have almost the same problem. I follow your instruction - i've installed emulator but i cant gain access.It says "cp cant create '/system/bin/busybox' : Permission denied.
Do you know how i can gain access over it?
ps My case is the same like yours. I tried to new rom, but after that it appeared. I cant install busybox, i can use emulator only.
Hi
Firstly I think you made a typing error, it's system/XBIN/busybox not system/bin/busybox
Secondly as soon as you open the terminal type 'su' that will give you root access, then type the command in the previous post.
I'm not an expert but I will try to help if I can.
Let me know if it works

I wrote commmand "su" and successfully gained root access. After that typed the command like you and no errors appeared. But still I don't have internal memory (cant install any apps). Any suggestions?
psEven i cant download any apps from the market...
Regards
This might be a silly question but did you restart your device after the command?

I had the same problem and I couldn't install anything... I fixed it by downloading a root explorer apk, open comand promt with adb and stuff,copy the apk to the same folder as adb, and type:
adb push (appsName).apk /system/app
from that point on, I just did what jeewa19 said!!!
Thank you thank you thank you!!!

I tryed to get it back with Android Terminal Emulator. When i installed it (trough a sd card) i tryed to give the command su like you sayed. The only thing i get is Permission Denied.
Please help how toi get my storage back.
THANKS
I just wanted to say thank you, had to join the site lol.
model # a13mid - Android os 4.0.4 - Baseband 4.0.15 - kernal 3.0.8+ - build is nuclear
After buying my cheapy tablet , I went install crazy and ended up with a stinky 0.0mb of space. Having spent countless hours of how to increase the memory with an sd card I found your guide.The guide was spot on and helped me out tons, lol even the reboot comment . Thank you again, and I hope this helps other people.
Special thanks

Fixing 0 bytes on internal storage on tablet
1. First Install root explorer! (Pro Much Better)
I found a solution, The problem was I rooted my tab then internal storage crashed.
To fix it :
1. Install Root explorer , this app can be installed even if storage shows full, it will directly install on your sd card or external storage .(its more easier if you download it to your pc then transfer it to your sd card
open root explorer find or copy /system/xbin/busybox then pastethis folder to /system/bin
2. Before you copy the /system/xbin/busybox to /system/bin, make sure or check the /system/bin is set to rw, if the permission of the folder is ro ( read only)set it to rw(read/write) for you to able to copy those files, it is needed to follow this steps for you to paste /system/xbin/busybox to /system/bin
When I did the above, all my previous apps and setting came back to normal.. it is important to read and analyze this steps carefully, I consumed 2 hours to solve this problem. But worth it !!
