[Q] I Rooted 2.2 Froyo on my HTC evo, WiFi Tether apps not working

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.

Ok I rooted my phone now what?

Not reall sure what the best thing to do now is. I do have a few questions, how to I get the hotspot to work after I root. Im not paying and extra $30 a month for that BS. Is there anything I need after I root it any custom roms well rated?
I come from the windows mobile background so some of this is a bit new.

For Tethering use Mobileap It is exactly like Sprint hotspot app but its free. U must have stock rom to use this and touchwiz stuff installed. Get a custom kernal there are a few of them around the development section. B4 u do this flash clockwork recoverymod so its easy to flash things. Another thing u need is adfree if you dont have it already.
Those are my recommendations.

FYI. Some folks can't get MobileAP to work with the stock kernel. I use Mixup kernel. Works perfectly.

How do I get this app installed.....its not an .apk is it?

Bump??????

Samsung Vibrant Tethering - HELP ME!! AHHHHHH!

To put it simply, I have the latest OTA update from T-Mobile and the most RECENT VERSION of Samsung Kies (1.5.3...93_83 I think).
Problem is, I cannot tether my Vibrant using Kies. I do not want cooked ROM nor "Flash" my phone.
Can somebody please walk me through step by step on how to set it up so my laptop can use my phone's internet access?! I've read some posts about drivers, setting up a dial-up connection but I don't know. I have Win 7 64 bit version also.
If anybody can walk me through it, I would appreciate it.

Have you tried an app like Pdanet or Easytether? Those may require root access (not sure).
I used to use Pdanet via usb before joining the dark side and flashing custom Roms( yeah, Mobile AP is the win!). Its only limitation is that you have buy the full version to use secure sites. I think Easytether may be cheaper or free (not sure, never used it myself). Personally, if I were you I'd just flash a new ROM, but I understand if you don't want to go that route.

if you're going to use the kies to tether make sure you use the UK version. the US doesn't work for tether. you don't need to root.

Well how can I work the UK version for it to work?

this link always works for me. no root needed.

I can't get USB tethering to work at all with any firmware newer than JFD.
Nobody could find me a solution that didn't use an app, and even UK Kies wouldn't work with my phone.
I finally went out and bought a used G1 for $50, threw the TMo 2.2 OTA on it and I've been using that to tether.

D/L Rom manager.
1. Root phone. (per the Vibrant General sticky.)
2. Install Tethering using Rom Manager. (per the same sticky.)
Works great.

Really. This can be done in less than 4 minutes if you know what you're doing already.
I'd say 10-15 if you haven't done it before.

And this works with JI6?
Edit: If you mean this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756804 isn't that just wifi tether?

Check out pda.net app its a pretty simple tether...also I've read that it runs faster if you have the samsung drivers installed on your computer which is a prerequisite to rooting

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

will the el30 update cause me to loose the built in hotspot hack

I'm running era legendary rom with samuri kernal and dont want to loose that. I have a TFP201 that i tether often and am one of the few with a phone capable of doing it. Thoughts?

No and please do a bit more reading with reference to the EL30 update. You're on a custom rom, the upgrade will fail to install by design. Allowing it to fail the install will prevent the nagging update notices.
There is a Q&A sub forum for questions.

If your not EL30 when you update you will loose the hotspot hack. You need to flash the update EL30 hotspot hack. As of now it works only on 3g. There is a pre rooted deodex EL30 rom. You would have to remove the bloatware yourself.
The mods need to be updated to EL30. So no extended menu. Scroll status ect.

And nikon is right.... you can update ota it will fail. Then you need to pull the battery and re boot.

As soon as you Odin to stock to try and get the update your hotspot is gone anyway.

You will lose it if you update to EL30. But there is already a port, although 4G isn't working:

That's what I thought. I did go ahead and let it install/fail and do a battery pull. I'm finally happy with the rom and kernal I have and will wait a bit before upgrading to something else. Thanks all for the helpful tips. And for those who told me to read...i did and just wanted to reconfirm with those that are WAY more knowledgeable than I. Mods feels free to close thread.
