Wi-Fi Tether w/ Root

I've successfully rooted my x10a and installed wi-fi tether 1.51 with no luck. Whenever I press on "- Press to start tethering -", I get a window displaying
Sorry!
The application Wireless Tether for Root Users (process android.tether) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
Any of you guys had any luck?

I'm not using that specific app but I do use wifi tethering.
I installed Barnacle Wifi Tether and then in settings i set athwlan0 as the LAN port.
It works fine for me, I get 7+ mbits and it's held up for over 5GB so far. Might be worth a shot.

Thanks for the reply. I'm getting an Error notification:
Unexpected error occured! Inspect the log and try the troubleshooting guide.

That's the error I got before I manually set up the LAN interface. Did you change that setting?

no, I didn't change a thing. Simply pressed Start as soon as i opened it. I've tried reinstalling it, but no luck
what's your WAN and LAN interfaces set as?

Follow the instructions I posted. The WAN interface is already set, you need to set the LAN interface.

read he`s second line , in settings i set athwlan0 as the LAN port

I tried "android wifi tether", It says "no netfilter", by reading the guide from that developer's website, it says we need to get an android 1.6 update. I think it means the android 1.6 in our X10 is the earlier version of 1.6, those tethering software require something in the later version of 1.6. I also found the update on that website, but, X10 does not have recovery mode, so I dont know how to flash the "update.zip" into my x10

I manually set the LAN, but still no luck. The same error screen appears...

Do you have SuperUser working properly? Another thing can also be the WAN setting, it should be something like rmnet0.

i think my superuser is installed properly... I followed the instructions given by bin4ry pretty closely and everything worked. WAN automatically was set to rmnet0.
Hmm, when I use setCpu, it says root not detected... that's kinda akward.

Yeah, it sounds like your rooting has an error. There was a bunch of updated files posted in the rooting guide among them a new SuperUser.apk, post #4 I think.

Confirmed working.

Well you shouldn't need to turn on wifi manually, the app does that automatically. Other than that I have no clue.

Get it, I manually set LAN as "athwlan0", everything fine, thank you
But I have a question, will the data gauge in "traffic" start to increase rapidly when there is no tethering device connected?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
it solved my interface error!
as for the PERMISSION ERROR
I redid the root from Step1-4 (including the hard reset)
it was related to the superuser.apk.
Thank you again for the info.

Zeph, thanks. I will give it a go once I arrive to work.
Thanks again for all the help everyone. I will let you know if it works.

sorry, it did not work. I guess I'll first flash the phone to x10i, then redo the entire 4 steps. My phone was originally x10a.
Will let you know.

You gotta change the LAN setting... Add athwlan0

Can somebody please post the .apk for Barnacle? I'm not able to find it in the Market at all.

Go to DHCP (under the Advanced heading) and set DNS 1 to 8.8.8.8. Then restart barnacle and reconnect your laptop. Then manually set the DNS for the connection on your computer to the same address. That worked for me.

Using Rogers (service provider, dataplan 1GB) Canada
I rooted my x10 following the instructions from Bin4ry from step 1 to 3 and step 4 and 5 I used the link that jerpelea posted, it seems everything went smoothly but something is wrong with my mobile networks, I can only use browser, everything is fine for browsing but per example if I use flixter I can't get any connection, facebook or any applications that needs to use network, and I turned on the wifi and using my home router all applications are fine, and I don't know what's going on, and I rooted again same issue, can anyone tell me is there something I'm missing too?
and for barnacle same issue as OP, my ipod touch is connected but no internet connection at all and I followed what to put in LAN already, does anyone encounter this issue too?
any help is appreciated, thank you

I add athwlan0, and it said it was not a correct LAN, so I removed and that error went away. Now I am getting "Failed to set AP_SCAN". Does anyone know how to get rid of this error?

try taking wifi off, leave 3g on n insert the athwlan0 in lan area.. should work fine?!

Reverse tethering now made simple!

This is for those who want to connect to internet using pc without wifi!!!
There were several threads about reverse tethering that required windows essentials,that were still in beta version.Foll all the guys who wanted this a new app in market has been released!!!!
Search the market for "reverse tether"!!! (SORRY THIS IS MY 1st POST.SO I CANT PROVIDE LINKS)
Just follow the instructions wich should really work.
if not,**try bridging ur android network and ur pc network.if stiil doesnt work,unselect
*appear as 3g
*notify me when connected!! I assure u this will definitely work!!!
The application is a trial version wich can be accessed between (11:00 - 15:00),,,if u wish,the full version is also available!! hope this post helped!!! NOTE:FOR ROOTED USERS ONLY!!!

NOTE!!
If u wnt to access using trial version at any time of day..just change ur phone timings to between (12;00 to 3:00)!!!!! IF U LIKE THIS PLAESE SAY THANKS!!! NO FUSS!!

problem is all cm7 for my mobile have usb tether bug .. and the app doesn't work with wired tether app ;(
I download and try all cm7 2day after read tht post
I hope to find fix for the bug soon

When you say without wifi. Do you mean the PC and phone don't have wifi working radios? Because if they do and you have a wired internet connection just use connectify. It's free and works great. I may have misunderstood the purpose of the thread though.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

After reviewing the app I guess I don't see my personal usefulness in such an app unless either the PC or phone don't have functioning wifi radios. Which I could see in a desktop. I do however see the usefulness on connecting to a PC to use it's internet. Clearly this app is for others that do require this function.

but there are some people without wifi hosting powered desktop...it'z for them!!

There's no need to download it from me*fire since a tusted and up-to-date APK file is available for download right from the developer's website.

SE xperia arc s here, ics ice lite, NO WAY: time limit always on
edit: able to start program but not to establish connection

Will this enable me to get internet on my Kindle Fire through my cell phone 3G tetherd via USB?
Thanks

problem
I upgraded to the latest one today and it seemed to start working. After running the program (I had it set to control 3g....or make apps work as if it saw 3g), it won't let me connect to v* with networking. Voice and sms works fine, but the 3g/1x doesn't work at all.
I'm going to try to restore from a backup and see what happens. Anybody have any ideas?
---------- Post added at 01:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:47 AM ----------
Not sure what happened, but I restored from a clockworkmod recovery backup I did earlier today (before I used reverse tether). Luckily, this seemed to get my network connection (3g/1x) back.
Reverse Tether is a great idea and it's really something I need, but I'm a little leery about using it now since it messed my 3g connection up.

Not working..
Hello..
It only worked for one time but now whenever i try to connect it says "cant establish a connection, please make sure that your internet is shared"
my internet connection is shared, remote NDIS usb driver is also installed ..

What exactly did you try?
Set the usb connection as mtp?
enable usb debugging?
Tried another cable?
If you're just wanting to transfer files, you can use a wifi transfer app where you access the phone through a web browser once the wifi app is started on the phone.

If you got your phone locked with a swipe, pin or password, you need to unlock it first
