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.
Hi All,
How are guys managing with out data counter app? Nokia has one and i know that some of the developers managed to make it work on other devices but its not working on Samsung focus(at least to me). Any other ideas or apps you can suggest me?
I have a samsung wave custom edition from Europe.
My new plan is the family mobile, at Walmart with unlimited internet access.
I am trying to get the appropriate software to be able to access the internet.
Please help me or ask for further information to be able to get this going.
thank you
Can you access the internet through WiFi? Can you make phone calls & SMS? If yes & yes, it could be just your APN settings.

Hi, folks
I'm still rockin' the HTC Touch Pro II with dual OS (WM 6.5/Android 2.2 on my SD Card) on the Sprint network (for legacy data plan reasons). I use the mobilewifirouter.cab app for internet on my laptop. My question is, does anyone know if that app store any log files or internet history data on the phone itself? I do a lot of financial stuff on my laptop and I'm just curious.
Thanks!
Hi Guys,
I am trying to have a good 4G wifi hotspot, please share your thoughts?
Some requirements:
1) I want to have a full control over the device, if able to run a linux directly will be the best or some kind of router linux, which can setup firewall , VPN etc on it.
2) Good battery life, like able to have 15-20 hours usage time.
3) Not too heavy, less than 250g.
4) Cost less than 150 USD.
Some of my thoughts:
1) Have an android phone which was able to be hacked to have full control(run linux directly etc), turn it into a 4G hotspot only, and remove the screen connection to save battery(no need to have a display).
2) Using something like "GlocalMe G3" or "GlocalMe U2", and have it hacked to have full control. (I have the U2 device, looks like it is using MSM8909, and running android, but I am not able to hack into it yet, may need some helps from you guys).
PS: not able to post the link, pls try to google "GlocalMe U2" if you want to learn more about the device.
Thank you for sharing your ideas.
GlocalMe G3

I bought a device called a sapphire touch which appears to use the exact same hardware as the GlocalMe G3, I took it apart and got some pictures of the hardware and am interested in getting a better rom installed or see if I can side load some apps.
Info and pics here, please add any info, would to be able to get developer mode enabled and install a custom boot loader to start.
