Does anyone know if there is a specific driver required for tethering with ICS? I can tether with usb on GB just fine, but my computer/phone wigs out when I try to tether when running on ICS. My captivate works just fine when tethering on ICS.
I've tried all of the ICS roms available (minus MIUI) and haven't had any luck with any of them.
you shouldnt need any drivers on windows for tethering whether or not you are in gb or ics. it should just show up as an ndis device. i havent used usb tethering in ics yet. what rom are you on?

I found posts for TiBu methods for freezing wifi tethering restrictions on GB and did it successfully.. Is there a way to enable tethering on ICS 4.0.3? Running the Sky ICS 4.2D rom.
are u using the new ucld2 base? if you are then dial *#638# and hit wifi tethering always on and then again, then restart phone. If you are on the old base, ultracfg should be available in the app drawer, if not, u will have to install it on your current rom

Yes working from seanzscreams' SKI ICS UCLD2 base.. Your method worked but there seems to be a bug with this as it freezes while "verifying." Also when restarting and disabling the tether.
haven't read much on tethering and ucld2, let alone try it. it may or may not be broken, im sure someone will look into it
Installing an updated base Rom so i'll letcha know if the issue's resolved.. Thanks for your help
Still running into issues with the tether toggling. Not sure.
Q. Generally good practice to fix permissions after every flash?
I have the wifi only version running stock ics. Does usb host with the otg cable work with a stock device yet?
I have tried flash drives, card readers and got nothing. I know it work once before. Did ics disable this option? Is the only way to get usb host with the otg cable on the xoom through root?
Thanks.
I amnot sure if it works on stock roms. But I assume it should. I rooted my device the moment I received it and installed custom ics rom from team eos and usb otg work great. No issues with it and gets auto mounted.

It will not work unless used for stock updates from Motorola (Recovery). The Xoom or ICS actually knows the usb drive is there but it has to gain higher level access that only root privileges can give. So Rooting will solve this issue although rooting is not the answer for everything.
Keyboard and mouse functions should work properly on the stock device though....
Thank you for the help. From what I've read elsewhere, it sounded like I needed to root to get that to work. Just wanted to be sure. Sad, as this worked before ics for me.
I have no issues rooting as my phone has been rooted for sometime now. Is there a difference in roms and kernels and the rooting process between a WiFi only xoom and a 3g/4g xoom? I would ask this in the proper section, but I don't have enough posts to do so yet.

Thanks for the great info.
Loading the WiFi ROM will give me full usb host capabilities? Or do I need a special kernel or different ROM than what's posted?
I'm just looking to read thumb drives, card readers or any other storage type device.
Thanks again.
It will give you fat32 support so far. I came across ntfs support on xda news today posted by a senior member who compiled it with the kernel and made it generic to rooted roms. Didn't try that yet.
With rooted roms of team eos, you can mount flash drives and hdd of fat32 so far which is great and it auto mounts on /media/usb.

Funny, the links posted gives me a 404 page error. But i can access them from another thread. Not sure why.
Hey all im pretty new here, anyways this is my problem.
I currently have embryo rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1855349
My girlfriend and I both use the wifi hotspot and tether alot when we are out. anyways long story short when i use the embryo rom with the wifi hotspot i noticed that many flash pplications on my laptop will not work, abc.com says that data is getting blocked.
When i try other custom roms i dont always get those message, the unnamed rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1815263 works just fine with tethering/wifi hotspot.
I tried different radios and a couple different kernels with mohans embryo rom trying to get it working but needless to say im still getting this error that content is being blocked.
It happens during wifi tether and usb tether.
Sorry for being newb.

Or how to install or tweek current rom to make it or allow me.it is not a stock rom.and I'm rooted.....etc
