How do I get wireless tether working? - Droid 2 General

So I have tried several different methods to get wireless tether running. Can anyone point me to a method that works for sure? I'm not running a Rom and I have clockwork as my recovery. Thanks.

See here for all versions of Wireless tether for root users. I'd try the version at the very top

I actually have tried this. Do I have to be running a non stock kernel or a ROM?

no but you do need root id0 access. Use z4root. (Do a search)

If you are using Droid2 Global on non-Verizon network like I do and your operator/plan allows tethering, you can use the built-in tethering app, all you need to do is to define APN for tethering ("DUN" type). D2G won't let you create "dun" type APN outright (Verizon restricted it), but there is easy way around even if you have not rooted your phone. I use that on Rogers Canada and it works flawlessly.

What leobg says is true but as far as I know the hotspot app doesn't allow bluetooth tether.

Phone is rooted. Loaded a different kernel using clockworkmod. Downloaded tether apk from above link. No luck.

Wired tether Droid2 ?

I recently upgraded to Droid 2 R2D2 from Eris.I had my Eris rooted,Amon-RA recovery with KaosFroyo.
The question I have is, I use Linux desktop,and no apps support USB tethering on Linux in the market. After rooting I installed wired tether but get an error saying the kernel doesn't support it.If I bootstrap from what I understand you can't flash a new kernel on the MotoD2. Does anyone know of a way to get wired tether to work ??? I had it working on my Eris.

You can't flash a new kernel period on the D2 because of the locked bootloader.

The only thing that doesn't work is a security that only allows certain users on the network. Wireless tether itself works.

Thought I had it working with rooted Gingerbread rom but it'a no go.

I3 rom keeps losing root.

I just want to know if this is something that is happpening to anyone else? Some roots required apps work just fine but then I get some apps like wifi tether, busybox, and barnacle tether don't and even tell me I don't have root access. If anyone has had this problem please give me the heads up. If not ill assume its some sort of issue with how my setup is and ill Odin and start from scratch.

Try flashing su.
those apps are not supported on the ROM, you still have root

Marcusant told someone to download barnacle because Wifi tether wasn't working. You sure that one isn't supported?

DROID2 Gingerbread Update

Some users report that the OTA update (Android 2.3.3) is live right now.
Check your updates Settings>About phone>System updates and report issues.
It is, got it last night on the wife's D2.
Have they rooted it yet? I need to get titanium backup on there and restore her apps, she's freaking out!
Yes just use droid 3 method

Sadly, this didn't work for me. Has the droid 3 method worked for anyone else?
It didn't work for you? Did you follow the instructions correctly? No one has reported any problems with it so far

Had to try it twice, first time didn't recognize it. Worked fine.
Working great for me. I SBF'd back to stock from the gingerbread leak, downloaded and installed the update over wifi in about 10 minutes. Rooted using the D3 method and flashed the latest CM7GB. Working like a boss.

Ran it several times, I see the SU binary in the system/bin directory and busybox, but barnacle and titanium are unable to obtain root.
Well I changed the script from xbin to bin and it seems to work now. Still unable to get Barnacle going, but closer.
That figures. Day after i leave big red and get my g2x, gb goes live for the d2 lol. niiiiice

Depends which app. I use Barnacle, works great still.
I rooted using: http://www.psouza4.com/droid3/
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1240130
This worked for me to root after the OTA.
How come says its rooted but when I use WiFi tether it says I'm not
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
Go to your app drawer and look for a skull and crossbones Superuser app. Click it and see if you can add wifi tether to the list. If that icon is not there, you're not rooted.
It's there but when I press to turn it on it says I'm not rooted

I would run one click root again, if that does not work, SBF back to stock and then re-flash GB OTA and root once more.
Is there some method to root without a computer, my droid 2 has the usb port broken...thanks

Gingerbreak doesn't even list Droid 2 being a supported device.

[Q] tether

what about wireless tether on R800x model
Eh ,i'll forgive you as long as you click the Thankxx button
Tether doesnt Overclock your play XD
What about wireless tether?
Sent from my R800x using Tapatalk
We don't have R800x (CDMA model) kernel sources so we can't make custom ones.
Wireless tether works on the R800x stock kernel. Just need to be rooted. There is a post on here somewhere with a dl link and instructions. Im too lazy to look for it, but a simple search will find it.

it supports only ad hoc mode but it does work. You have to set your device profile to nexus one in the wireless tether app.

Changing ROM remove flash?

I have a droid x flashed to metropcs. If i change the rom will it remove the flash on my phone?

Help please!!!!
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I do believe so. I was looking into flashing one of my X's to Cricket and it seems that a custom startup script needs to be setup to make it reflash on every boot as it is lost on power off.
I would hold off until someone more savvy to this responds.
But if I were to guess, you would lose it.

No it will not unless you sbf or use an AIO. I am on cricket network and I flash custom roms all day. The only thing I have to do is setup internet and Mms. If your not familiar with setting anything up after a flash I wouldn't flash a new rom until you find out more about it. I believe metro doesn't use proxy so all you would have to do is flash a rom and use endokis mms fix found in the Eris forums. Sorry I can't help u out any further tho. Good luck....
