Hi,
Just got my ota last night. Had root and s-off. Can someone direct me to the steps to reinstall wireless tether. I searched here and in dev and have not found anything relating to installing on rooted 2.2.
Thanks

You should just find it in the marketplace? Is it not there for you?
Said something about updating kernal and wouldn't run.

I wonder what kernel version you have.

It has to be the right version of wireless tether. Might have to get somewhere other then market. When i checked market, the version wasnt the one i needed. Google wireless tether for froyo.
or you can use 3G mobile hotspot for free, search for "howto tether natively" on google and its the first link
its better imo but if you cant figure it out there is the above option.
i actually had the same problem. i was fooling around with it for hours last night and couldn't get it to work.
i'm using pre8 but it still doesn't work. was using it in adhoc mode with encrpytion turned off and no access-control, but no luck.
i even tried loading bin file from the evo 4 system dump but that didn't work either.
anyone get this to work yet??
The pre 8 version has been working perfectly for me.
Also installed it on another phone last night and it worked fine there as well.
I uninstalled the previous version first.
Specs:
Virtuous 2.5
Radio 2.15
hydra 1.15

You can use 3G Mobile Hotspot if you go to this post and follow the steps to use it for free.

Hi, I'm new to android and i have a mytouch 3g which is running 1.6 . I've been trying to unroot it for days now using sappimg.nap file to get back to 1.5 so that I could root to run froyo but ever time the hboot screen says failed to update because main version is older. I've tried several websites but none have worked. I also tried the goldcard method but it didn't work either
Your goldcard wasn't made successfully then. But its easier if you use the Androot method listed in these forums since you don't have to make a goldcard.

thanks that helped a lot , I got it rooted and running froyo
I have a couple of questions regarding rooting. I downloaded the OTA 2.2.1 and everything installed fine. I came from the Cyanogenmod 2.2, but I havent been able to root the OTA 2.2.1.
I've tried the Superonelick.exe but i've been having problems with the program freezing. Also tried the Z4 Root which didnt seem to work.
I have a flashed version of the Droid X keyboard but i cant load this thing. i have the .apk and the .so and i was told to push these files to system/lib but i keep getting the read only error when i use Linda File magager.
Any help appreciated.

to get root just downlod this UniversalAndroot_1.6.1.apk from here ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747598 )
install the app with linda and click the root button and you are then done as far as the keyboard you should be able to install that .apk with linda just click on it and install hope this helps you out

i dont think it will work fully with froyo it was ported to eclair but didn't say anything about froyo support
ive got a my touch 3g 3.5mm and when i gt to use the universal it ses failed ne ideas???
There's a guide on the first page to root.
i used theunlockr method. worked for me.
I keep looking and browsing the web for information about rooting the streak but so far i've only manage to find one for 1.6 or 2.1. Does anybody know if the superboot works on froyo and if theres a recovery image yet just in case? My phone came unlocked with froyo pre-installed and has a 12*** something version. I apologize if this has been ask before or if im in the wrong sub-forum. Thank you

Z4Root for 2.2
Searched for Z4Root numerous times on the market but to no luck. I keep getting a doodle app. Do you know if the superboot would work? Thanks for the reply
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
heh, it was taken off the market. oh well, find the apk.
Search google for universal androot 1.6.2 beta. Worked for me. You may have to press root my phone more than once because it doesnt always do iton first try. If you cant find it then pm me and ill email it to u
Found z4root apk and works perfectly. Rooted froyo and now looking for some decent rom. thanks for the tips y'all

i think z4root is better than universal androot since it installs busybox and does it quite well, it also works on alot more devices. besides that, they are pretty much the same, rooting tools. use what you like that works. seems like things like z4root, androot, busybox, and superuser where all taken off the market just before gingerbread came out.
One thing that keeps bothering me when people work out / find a solution . . . they don't post what they did, where they found the program / software / driver !! or what they did to fix the issue.
SHARE, z4root is off the market, so where did you locate the download ?
z4root isn't working with the latest OTA update build 318. Niether does universal androot.
Superoneclick will root 318 search xda for the link

I used SuperOneClick. However, I'm still on the "stock" 305 version. I never upgraded. SuperOneClick worked just fine to root.

Use unrevoked 3.21 or 3.14 (3.14 is the one i used).
Version 3.21 worked for me.. tried it quite a few times with Win 7...faced some issue..but worked like magic on ubuntu..one click and root..
