You have to be rooted buddy. Which Android OS are you currently running? If you're running 2.3.3 aka Gingerbread all you have to do is flash ClockworkMod recovery, then flash any rooted ROM of your liking.
If you're on 2.2.2 aka Froyo, all you need is Superoneclick. This is know as the one click root method.

You just have to go into Settings>Wireless&Network>USB Tethering
I think that's how get into enabling WIFI tether. I use MIUI Launcher so its a bit different.
I have just flashed the gingerbread rom in one of the sections in the G2X forum section. And I have the 2gb data plan. I'Ll give it a try later. Thanks for the info.

So once your phone is rooted, you can tether without being charged by T-mobile?

He has no idea what he's talking about. That makes no sense..
Tethering is free. At least on my plan..
I tether all the time and have never been charged extra. Rooted and unrooted.

On a CM7 based rom tethering and hotspot are available in the settings, otherwise there's a root only app in the market that will let you do both.
Neither option involves paying extra

no, it will start to smoke and emit huge sparks that will get into your eyes,rendering your g2x useless to you,so i'll take it.
yes,it is working great. and as soon as i get some money in my account, i'm donating to xboarder56

Yes, but not with Superoneclick as it doesn't work with the update from LG. Assuming you have Clockwork Mod Recovery through NVflash, (great instructions http://www.techofweb.com/technology/flashing-cwm-recovery-g2x.html , simply flash a pre-rooted version of this update from xboarder54 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179748
1 click nvflash app to install clock work .
download rooted 2.33 rom or nandriod backup and flash
in clock work.
works fine..
now i have updated baseband on cm7 rom

trying to restore LG-P999-V10f/--i get--MD5 mismatch while trying to unroot. I already restored to a nandroid running 2.2 can I just run the LG update or must I unroot in order to update baseband? Will I be able to unroot if I update using LG (I have DW model). Help please.
Funny thing is I have been with Android since the G1. I have yet to root any of my android phones. I know, I'm a noob. I'm trying to learn how to root my G2x recently but want to make sure I find something solid so my phone will work 100% or close to that. Now that we have GB, I would assume the devs are updating their ROMs so I'm reading up to see what's the new or hot ROM for the G2x. If anyone can point me in the right direction or have some time to school this noob - I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
Just got a notification, update size 114.9mb, rebooting right now to install.
Had the leaked version of 2.3.6 for a while now, HUGE improvement, let me know what the OTA updates you to, just curious.

Do you still have the update.zip file on your phone?
Probably a bit early to tell, but anyone know if this update will affect rooting? My dad took this update today... his charge has never been rooted before. Now today he tells me he wants tethering. I'm wondering if I can still follow one of the root guides with this OTA installed.
I'm sure just Odin a rooted version

You can flash a rooted version (such as the CWM Deodexed rooted release in Development), or you can just flash su directly. I would avoid flashing a full EP4D Odin for now because we don't have a dump of the CDMA modem, so you would be overwriting the CDMA modem with an older version by using the Odin.
Flashing imoseyon's kernel from Rootzwiki would also give you root, as well as lagfix and some other extras, but be aware that it is based on a slightly older kernel. I haven't had any problems with it yet, but it's something to be aware of.
I have instructions on how to root the Samsung Droid Charge at the link below...

Was this thing themed by a blind guy? It's like they took the Epic GB status bar and just slapped it on the old notification pulldown. So gross! I see the pumpkin vomit reference.

Thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for! I do have one question if you don't mind... since this method is just rooting the stock rom, do I have to wipe? I'm sure my dad would prefer to keep his phone the way it is if possible.
Wipe what?

Data... as in, should I do a factory reset on his phone, or just leave it as it?
No wiping needed. You can root a device and keep all data and apps as it was.

So my girlfriend walked into a sprint store to activate my old evo 4g. The sprint guy was cool, saw that it was running miui and showed her that his personal phone was also running miui. He said he couldn't activate the phone though because it was rooted. She said he tried three times and it wasn't possible because it was rooted. Anyone else had this issue? Thanks.

A rooted phone shouldn;t be an issue but the fact that you're running a custom rom is. You're gonna have to go back to a stock rom in order to activate.

yes you just need a rom that has EPST, so you can update the data profile and use the dialer codes. Once it's activated on your number you can flash whatever you'd like

How can you tell if it has the EPST.apk?
Easiest way is go to the dialer and type ##3282# if a menu opens you have it

Hello all! I recently got a Droid Ultra and I am costumed to using Wi-Fi tether on my Droid Razr. I had it rooted and used PDA Net Wi-Fi tethering. I paid for it and it was well worth it. I wasn't able to get the Wi-Fi tethering to work on my Ultra, only the USB tethering. It looks like we need root for tethering. Has anyone found a solution for Wi-Fi tethering on the Ultra?

Have you used this method? It sounds so easy and to good to be true. Does the Ultra not have a built-in recovery to make backups with? Sorry for all the questions I just want to be careful. Thanks!

No, I haven't, because I live in Europe and we have no tethering restrictions.
It should be safe, as you only need to modify/replace the build.prop, which can easily be reverted, if you back it up beforehand.
But I replied a bit hastily, I haven't read the thread carefully, you need to be rooted for doing that (or have unlocked bootloader with TWRP installed).
I don't know if there are any other methods, which doesn't require root.
What's your build version?

I am currently not rooted. I don't think there is a great root option for the Droid Ultra on 4.4.4. I was hoping I didn't need root for the tether.
You can gain root, but not an unlocked bootloader (no custom roms/backups, etc). Once rooted, find and download the entitlement exploit to tether. I'm using it daily and it works fine.

What is the easiest/best root method for the Ultra?
Just check out RootJunkie's youtube tutorial, follow it to the letter. Not easy, or quick, but it works great IF you follow his directions.
