Hi guys, it's my first time here, sorry if I'm repeating the same question that others had b4, but I can't seen to find the answer. My wireless_tether_***.apk was working fine b4 I updated to Froyo. What can I do to get it going again?
Thank you.

Go back to 2.1?
I believe you need to be rooted in order for this to work. If you are on just froyo, I dont think it will work.
I have rooted it for a while now. Going back to 2.1? Really?
This happened to me as well. After searching the answer was to go to an older version of wifi tether.
What worked for me was the pre11 apk in the link below.

Pre14 didn't work for me had to get 15

Pre15 works fine with froyo. Maybe you could try getting the latest version and installing it. I know this seems like a crazy idea, but how about you give it a go anyhow.
I've tried many different versions, including the most recent one, & no luck, I think that it could be some of my settings. Any ideas?
One thing I just remember, when on 2.1 it asked me for the superuser permission, now it hasn't. Could that be it? How do I give the permission without asking for it?

Isn't it possible that I lost my root?
Kernel?
When I attempt to tether I'm getting that my kernel doesn't support it. How should I proceed?

make sure the version of wifi-tether you use supports your device.
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
The above link shows the download and corresponding version that you should use for Epic. I used the lastest version pre15, and it works fine on my 2.2.1 froyo DK28 firmware.
I don't know which firmware are you using, but the pre15 should support the latest froyo
I'm using PRE13 and its working fine for me, used it a couple of times already.. here you go hope this link works.

That's my guess but not sure. one way to check if you lost your root is:
On your phone,
1. go to market, download and install Terminal Emulator
2. run Terminal, then at the prompt line, type "su" (don't include quotation marks) and then hit enter on keyboard
3. if the system says "su not found", that means you lost your root
This may be my stupid way to verify my rooting status. Other experienced users may have better way to do it

You'll have to wait for a 2.1 exploit to be discovered.

So you have 2.1 RUU ? Then you cannot root.

hrm a new user must have posted and then deleted.
i did try to use the kitchen, it would get up to the point where it would go into recovery mode then just stay stuck at the HTC logo recovery screen, also when i was doing it it says pre-kitchen has identified that you are not running a stock sprint rom, even though i was completely stock 1.5.
I have been searching forums since morning but I haven't been able to figure out how to update to 2.1 and still have root access. There is no OTA available on the phone.
Should I download the RUU exe from sprint's website and update to 2.1? I hear that 2.1 root is not possible after that.
Can anyone guide me in the right direction please?
thanks..
If you want to root now, DON'T update to 2.1. Get the fresh kitchen and root with that.
HeroMeng, thanks for the reply. could you tell me where do I get kitchen from?
and I think I need to mention it is a CDMA HTC Hero on Sprint

You can download the kitchen right here. It only works on Windows, so keep that in mind. Once you download the kitchen, tap the Rooter tab. Check none of the boxes, and press "root" (or something like that).

Yeah, that's fine. So is everyone's in this section
so I cant get 2.1 on this thing yet ? Kitchen will install a custom 1.5 ROM on it. I managed to read through another forum thread and root the phone. So now I have root on 1.5. I understand that the unrevoked.com root for androind 2.1 wont work after the OTA update. I am beginning to get a little confused. Can I update the phone to RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_2.20.651.1_signed_test Firmware, as it has a built in ROOT ACCESS source link: here though I cant seem to find the download link for 2.20.651.1
sorry if the message is getting convoluted...
Easiest way is to Root with 1.5 using a guide in the Android Dev Section. I did it to 5 CDMA Heros with no prob whatsoever.
And by the way, 2.1 RUU has been rooted.. Search for it in the Dev Section.. (Should be right there on the first page...
Once you are rooted, if you want Something thats the official one, but much better, I recommend DamageControl 2.09 or Fresh 2.1
I have root on 1.5 now, I can install Fresh 2.1 using the instructions here ?

done deal, running 2.1-fresh. Also updated the baseband to 2.42.01.04.27... would I have to root again or is it already rooted? Set CPU seems to just give me a black screen and the instructions on the set CPU site is not helping...

To get SetCPU, just flash GoDmOdE kernel, you can find it here.
ah I figured it out, the reason for the black screen. For some reason if USB Debugging is not enabled, su wont work. Once I enabled USB Debugging, su works just fine...

Also you need the kernel I posted above or it won't overclock. Over and underclocking needs a special kernel.
a little confused
Heromeng, I'm a little confused. I run a non Sprint hero and some of the forums say fresh kitchen is for Sprint hero's only and others say all hero's. Please dial me in bud. I really want root but don't want to go the Sprint run way. I live in Alaska and my carrier is ACS. Thanks bud.

You can't root with the fresh kitchen. You need to go through a little more steps then Sprint heroes.

HeroMeng, you rock for gettin right back to me! I've posted questions elsewhereover a month ago and still not heard back. I have read that guide before but didn't want to follow the wrong one and be left with a nice pretty brick. I've read how you help peers and noobs like me and appreciate that. Well I need to fond a Kingston or PNY sd card, I've tried to make a goldcard with 3 different sandisks and they would not take. I know I'm asking big here bit of you could point me in the direction of a good solid reliable ROM that doesn't need to be tweaked to fit my phone and any other advice/guides that would seriously help a brotha out I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks again bud.
I have rooted and upgraded my Wildfire to 2.2.1 from 2.1, worked fine and still does, but i have lost root.
I have read that i cant use the "unrevoked method" yet to get root back as it wont work with Froyo. Is this true or is it safe to do so.
If I cant use that method then can anyone suggest another way.
Thanks and be gentle as i am new to android.

Hi, if you updated with OTA update (official) or with RUU, you can't root. We have to wait until some depeloper find out the way to root the new HBOOT.
I updated with a file called signed_121810_120233.zip if that helps.
Anyone know about that file, if its official or RUU

I'm downloading it to see if it has the new HBOOT. Give me a minute
EDIT: It doesn't contain the new HBOOT, so you should be able to root. Trying Unrevoked is safe. If you had the new HBOOT, it would hang, but you wouldn't have any problem.
For what I read, you haven't run Unrevoked yet. Do it.
Thank you for your time and effort, i will try it later tonight when i get back home.
Will post and tell you the outcome.

You have done this in the same computer you did the time it worked, right? For the HBOOT drivers in windows and all these things.
Looking at the zip you sent me, you should be able to root, but I guess that if you lost root, there is something that made you lose it. :S
If you want to try to get root anyway, try Unrevoked in Ubuntu. If not, Superoneclick, or Z4root.
But doesn't look good to root by now... :S
Yeah the exact same pc that i first used to go from 2.1 to 2.2.
Is Z4 safe to use

Yes, the worst thing that can happen is that the phone is slow until you reboot, if it can't get root. But htese methods are Temp root. It would be just to see if you can get root access, which I doubt at the moment.
Thanks for your help, i think i will just wait until unrevoked gets updated.

Of course. I just tried with v3.31, which must be the version you tried. I got your same error.
I will let you know. It must be near, because in v3.3 changelog they say "No update for Wildfire yet, sorry", so they are working on it.
Guys,
Thanks for the help in fixing my camera issues !!
My next question is, am I still rooted once I updated to 2.2 ?? The Market doesnt seem as extensive as it was when I was rooted on 2.1
I am pretty new at all this stuff, how can you tell if your rooted on 2.2, and if I'm not, how can I properly root it again ??

root and Market are not related. You need to change your phone fingerprint to the Nexus 1 to show all the protected applications again as Google does not recognize the DK28 fingerprint.
However, you need to be rooted to edit the file. See the following thread for the fingerprint. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848778

One way to check is to open up a terminal and type "su"
To get root back, use the one click installer.

Or flash a Tom to get all the apps. If you want to find out if your rooted just download titanium from the market. As soon as you open it it will say asking for root rights.

ok, here comes the idiot question of the night....
is there any way to root my phone, without having to use a computer to download any files ??
When my friend originally rooted my phone when I was on 2.1, he didnt have to use a computer, he was able to do it right on the phone itself (not sure what he did, tbh)

To tell if you're rooted - install an app like Titanium Backup, which needs root to function properly. If you're not rooted, there won't be access to the market.
For root if you've lost it, your best option may be to install a custom ROM, which are usually pre-rooted. Besides, most custom ROMS are better than what comes stock. Which custom ROM will depend on your needs.

If google talk does not find a network connection before you unlock your screen, it crashes. This has been the case sense Gtalk with video came about. As long as the network/radios are running before you unlock, there won't be a crash.
