[Q] WiFi Tethering

Hi:
I have my HTC Aria from about a month now. I bought it in AT&T with a 2 year contract. The problem now is that I want to use the internet of my phone in my computer. I have not found any guide that can help me 100% to do it, and almost all guides talk about routing my HTC Aria and I don't know how to do it and I'm scared that I can broke it if I do it.
So I came here asking if someone have a nice guide to do it. I don't have CM6, so I have it with the 2.1-update1 that came from factory.
Thanks for your help and sorry for my bad English!

if you can find the sideloading program off of these forums (sorry i dont know where it is anymore)
and then find PDANet online somewhere you can use that to tether your aria
its what i used to use till i upgraded to CM6

I'm reading in this forum a guide to root my phone using unrevoked3.
If I just root my phone, ¿can I tether with just Rooted HTC Aria?
Thanks!

once its rooted the only difference is that you will able to flash custom ROM's
and you will have clockwork recovery also
if you flash CM6 then you can tether without a separate program but its a completely different user interface, you would lose sense, and i would suggest using nandroid to backup your current rom because u would lose all settings and if you dont sync contacts with google you will lose those too
it takes some getting used to, but its worth it to be able to flash custom roms

How do you wifi tether a TMo MT3G non-3.5? Do you have to root? :clueless:

OK, so I used to have the MT3G before 2.2 was out, went with the HD2, then the MT4G, and now I'm back to a TMo US MT3G without the 3.5 jack, non-Fender. I user to know the process for root, but now I'm clueless. I can't even remember which is the 32A and which is the 32B (which do I have?).
So, what I need is WiFi tether for my Galaxy Tab, but I'm not sure what to do. This MT3G I bought (from someone on CL) currently has Android 2.2, however I do NOT know if it is stock or rooted, or how to tell. I am not worried about having custom ROM's and whatnot since I have the Tab, I just need WiFi tether...
What should I do? lol

Google the Universal Androot method. That'll get you root then you can get Barnacle from the Market.

Two Things:
1st: When I plug the USB into the phone and PC, it does not do anything. The typical notification is not there either. It acts as though nothing is there, yet it does show to be charging. I can't find an option for this.
2nd: Saw this on XDA in the Nexus One forums for this method of rooting: "EDIT2: Since Google patched the loop hole in 2.2.1, this app is no longer working for newer builds." Does this mean it will not work with a MT3G with 2.2.1, which I have?
***Edit: I emailed the file to my phone, it did not work after multiple tries. Just says it failed... Could I go back to like 2.1 somehow and get it to work? I am needing the WiFi tether STAT... lol

Anyone? I need to do this ASAP if at all possible. I'm at work till 6pm (4:30'ish now) and would like to finnish before I leave...

OK... All the sudden USB mount works. Ran SuperOneClick, it finished saying it's been rooted.
*** NM, figured it out, I'm an idiot... lol
Thank for the help...

Thing is, this SuperOneClick root method is pretty limited. Im afraid to partition my sdcard and wipe it. I just got a refurb MT3G 1.1 mailed to me after I told them my old mt3g was in a loop and i "tried everything". I was hoping to get a 3.5mmm jack 1.2 or some crap. Guy at t-mo store said Id get one if i returned it. Nope. same old mt3g. Came w/2.2.1 so Im having trouble. DO I need to partition my sd to root correctly? Thankx

to the op- take the apk from google dev/labs or off an older rom. adb push it to phone.

No you don't need to partition.

So... The root seemed to work with SOC and Barnacle is installed, launches amd runs. However, I am unable to get any devices to see the ssid from barnacle. I have tried all the customer ad-hoc's, nogo. I have read there could be issues, but not what they are or how to resolve them... Any idea
Thanks everyone...

What devices are you trying to tether to?

Mainly a Samsung Galaxy Tab, Win 7 didn't see it either though...

Weird. I know it works for an iPad so I would imagine it would work on the tab as well. I'm not sure about this one. I know for sure it works with a PC.

Ok, so I am able to get the win7 laptop to see the mt3g with the tether at the link above. However, the galaxy tab still doesn't see the ssid. Any ideas???

Anyone? :hs:

Still nothing? I've used it with various Linux and window OS's and an iPhone and Android's so I can't think of anything else. It should work? You can send me a Tab and ill do some tests =D

Need help with the mytouch!

I hav the epic 4g and the hero before this on the day it came out and all this mytouch talk is confusing....
I wanna help my friend use android tether so we can play over xbox live. Don't care about lag h just wants to get on for the party since he's only gonna be playing halo wars for the time being....
So if any of you can help id appreciate it ^_^
His mytouch has no 3.5mm jack so idk if that would mean anything...he also has cm running on it (an extremely old version) so I wanna put him back to stock first so that I can put a nice clean flash on whatever rom has usb tethering enabled, so if anyone knows how to do that that'd be great too!

There are tethering apps on the market. Have you tried any of them. You can use the superwipe to wipe the phone and get a clean install so you dont have to go back to stock.

The tethering apps on the market are trials
And superwipe? WIll that just wipe the current rom or take any and all modifications off? Id prefer the latter so that I will be able to tell exactly what's wrong if anything goes wrong because thered be no unknown variables for me

Here is a guide to unroot get to 2.2 ota stock and root again so you will have the new radio spl if you want it.
1.) Follow the directions here to downgrade to 1.6 donut and upgrade to stock Android 2.2 and Use the Root method there ~ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=807899
Or you can go to ezterry's 14mb hack page if you have fastboot enabled on your pc and grab those if you want. Here is the link to that. You have to have fastboot enabled and again follw the instructions to the T. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139
The superwipe will wipe everything just like fastboot erase system -w but supposed to be better i will find you links.
Here is a link to superwipe. Just follow the instructions there to a T. You have to power down in recovery and boot directly back to recovery for it to work. Also make a backup FIRST. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834812&highlight=superwipe

Are you wanting to use one of the newer roms or older? That might make a difference in deciding to upgrade to the new radio/spl or not. Im not sure if any of the newer roms have tethering in it or not. Thats why i ask. I know the older ones do. Like Enomther's 1.6 for example

Well any working rom will do. You've been a great help!!!!!!!!!!
also, by older roms do you mean pre-official froyo? Or just like a rom that was last updated in november? Because if you mean pre-froyo I'll downgrade to 1.6 and then just go on from there to see if it'll work and then once I see its possible I'll put him on oficial froyo and tell him he's gonna have to wait or be stuck with the first os he had (he hated 1.6 LOL!)

If he hated 1.6 have you thought about 2.1? What is he on now? I believe there are 2.1 roms out there with tethering in it already. I believe you can rip the tethering out of a rom and just install it on your phone with whatever you have flashed at the time as well.
And yes i mean pre-froyo. Donut or eclair
Also have you tried barnacle wifi tether. I hear it works. I dont personally use tethering

Anyone tried Android tethering apk after installing 2.2 and rooting?

Just wanted to see if anyone's had any issues installing and running the android tether apk after they upgraded to 2.2 on their Bravo?
Thanks!

Any ideas on what works to root froyo 2.2.1? I still can't get SuperOne Click o work?

use psneuter not ratc. it works. i tested it.

I've tried it, and have yet to succeed in getting it to work.... I've not tried a lot though. Maybe they attempted to block it? Cause if you use the built in USB tethering, it'll check your account before letting you tether. And I wouldn't be surprised if the 3G Mobile Hot Spot checked your account or reported your tethering to AT&T.

Yes the native hot spot app will require you to be on the 45$ 4 gig data pro plus mobile hotspot tethering plan. So anyone sill grandfathered in the unlimited 30$ data plan will loose it if they switch. that's att for ya lol

I am successfully using Wireless Tether version 2.0.5-RC2 to make this post after upgrading to Android 2.2.1 and re-rooting my bravo. Hope this is helpful in some way.

Hero wireless tether problem.

Ok. My buddy at work has a hero running 2.1
I rooted his phone using the z4 root, installed recovery using rom manager.
main reason for wanting to root was to be able to use wireless tether, so I installed it but can't get it to work at all.
app starts fine but when you hit the button to start tethering it says its starting but it won't send or receive any info, and I can't detect it sending out any kind of wireless signal.
Thought busybox might be the issue so I installed the newest version from the market. 1.18.somethingsomething.
Didn't work, still nothing.
googled the issue I'm having and can't find a fix. I'm using the newest version from the market, even tried a old version 1.61 I believe.
I'm out of ideas. Can anyone help?

Just occurred to me......the Hero only broadcasts Ad Hoc not Infrastructure if my recollection is correct. That could be your problem too.

when you started the app did you get a window asking for superuser permissions? if not then you are not rooted. I know that some of the carriers recently pushed an OTA update that blocked z4root's rooting method.

yes, thanks for asking, i should have stated that in my original post. I apologize. currently i have adfree, root explorer, and titanium all running with no issues on his hero.

if your on a sense 2.1 rom you need to use wireless tether v1.6 from google code this is due to the kernal in sense 2.1 roms if your on 2.2 or above v2.7 should work on almost all computer os's except ubuntu 11.0.4 due to a kernal issue. but usb tether works fine on ubuntu. also u can try wireless tether pre 3.0.14 from google code witch will work on almost all roms except for kifno sense roms and liquid sense roms. just please make sure if your on a 2.1 sense rom be sure to go to settings settup mode and select hero cdma then go down to lan settings and enable routing fix for hero.
if your wanting to connect to a ps3 i have a guide buried somewere in general that tells you how to set up a brdge

LOL....The Ad Hoc connection should still be present, just can't connect to the internet. I know this because I am a dope and always start my tether without starting my 3g and realize what I did when I can't open up a webpage. It's more then likely what Bierce was saying with the different Wireless Tether versions between 2.1 & 2.2 or a setting / script on the receiving device. With my Nook running CM7, by default it can connect to Ad Hoc, but running Honey Comb I have to change out the wifi supplicant to switch from infrastructure to Ad Hoc, and with my old iPaq I had to go into wireless / settings and enable Ad Hoc in the list of supported network types.
