Hey guys looking to help my cousin with rooting her mytouch 3g to have wireless tethering. Jsut wanted to see if android-wifi-tether apk works fine with root access?
Tethering is all thats needed, no need for recovery or anything else. So i figure the androot way is the way to go.
Thanks
You have to flash a custom recovery to root so you'll get that either way. Couldn't personally comment on wifi tethering as I haven't used it.

i purchased the phone with 2.1, didnt root it... did the OTA udate to froyo 2.2.... on august 27th i read that the root for OTA stock froyo was created on the 26th... performed the root for 2.2 successfully... however... none of the versions of the WiFi tether app for root users are working... once i start tethering, no devices can pick up the signal n if it does i get a messege on my laptop saying that there is no internet access... please help... if its a quick fix please PM me cause im always busy n i barely check the forum.... thank you in advance
Because it doesn't work, sprint did something special for it not to work, I forget what it is
you try this one?
I had the same issue. I typed out the fix on another thread. Basically you have to use the ruu to go back to 2.1 then find the rooted 2.2 stock img with recovery and apply that from the updated 2.2 root guide. This will fix your problems and work in any of the roms
afterward.

Alright guys, a few more rookie questions from this kid and I'll stop bothering the piss out of you
First off, I've recently rooted, and I have a few questions. I'm running a stock rom, and I rooted using the one click root but other than that, I haven't done anything major to my phone because I'm sort of lost in the process on a few things.
So, number one, I keep reading about the new update, I think it was DI18 or something to that effect? What I'm curious to know is, am I going to get these updates OTA with root, and, if so, will it remove root or am I fine as long as I have a stock rom? I just need to know if I need to avoid updating the phone OTA or not worry about it.
Also, I wanted to know how to get a netfiltered enabled kernel. i've been trying to use Wireless-Tether and I don't get any errors, just no UL or DL numbers and it doesn't do anything to my computer.
I posted a few threads ago that I am completely new to Android and such and have been running WinMo for the last 4 or 5 years. I'm trying to get used to all of this and after running with my HTC Raphael for the last year and a half I'm finally upgrading and this is a whole new world.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated, and thanks to everyone in the community! I really appreciate all of it. Oh, and for the record, I've looked around for a few hours on the net trying to figure out these things but I can't seem to find any answers. It seems like all of this is common knowledge for everyone else, but I've been running with Android for less than 2 weeks now. Thanks all.
Dig Life!

I seem to be having the same problem you are with wireless tethering. So if you figure out a fix please let me know.
We don't need a special kernel for wireless tether. Wirelss tether for android pre15 works fine for me. Ota updates will remove root, but so far it seems our same root method is fine with 2.2.1 updates (dk28) .

Isn't it true though that some custom kernels don't support tethering? For example, I run Andromeda DI18 and when I try to tether it says its not supported by my kernel.
Well, not sure. The only ones I have run are mix up and fluff. Both worked for me.

hello im wondering if there is a way to root the atrix 4g 2.3.4 without a computer. I have tried other sites but they dont give me the right solution so if and of you can it would be great.
I don't think so. I think I read somewhere they got a "1-click" method working but it still requires a computer.

To my knowledge, there is no un-tethered root program. You have to be able to remote access the phone's internal memory.
You can easily root your ATRIX running Gingerbread, but without out a computer is tough.

If you dont have CWM - no.
If you have CWM - there's a CWM root file somewhere around the forums, it worked for me
I purchased my DROID x around january 2011. First thing I did was install z4 root (not sure which version) and superuser. Also installed wireless tether from the market. Everything worked fine until the update was available. I went to my settings and updated without unrooting or changing anything. As soon as it was done updating I was no longer rooted. When I open z4 is says temp root, perm root and unroot. When I try to use tether it asks if my phone is rooted. When I try to hit perm or temp root z4 closes and I have to turn phone off and back on to even get it to open. I really want my tether back and I have no clue what to do.if I need to return phone completely stock please give instructions on that as well. Thanks
Z4root will not root the phone after the update to Gingerbread is taken; also, wireless tethering does not work on Gingerbread.
If you just want root, I recommend searching for 'PetesMotorolaPhoneTools', and using that to root your phone.
If you want to be able to tether then I recommend SBFing back to 2.3.34 and flashing either MIUI or a version of CM7 that uses the froyo kernel.

Tethering using apps such as Wireless Tether is blocked on Gingerbread; however, there is a patch for the 3G Mobile Hotspot, I believe that when you use it Verizon can track you though.

Is the Root Wizard found on this site HALFCAB123.COM work? Anyone know if it will work on myTouch 4G 2.3.4? I don't wanna do the other method used to root myTouch 4G because I don't know what I'm doing (that method). But the Root Wizard at the tope is free to download so not sure if it will work or not.
No it won't work..I guarantee it..

it might work with rooting it...but that's not your case.
besides just rooting, you also need S-Off, and currently the downgrade method is the only method we got.
