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.

use psneuter not ratc. it works. i tested it.
I've tried it, and have yet to succeed in getting it to work.... I've not tried a lot though. Maybe they attempted to block it? Cause if you use the built in USB tethering, it'll check your account before letting you tether. And I wouldn't be surprised if the 3G Mobile Hot Spot checked your account or reported your tethering to AT&T.
Yes the native hot spot app will require you to be on the 45$ 4 gig data pro plus mobile hotspot tethering plan. So anyone sill grandfathered in the unlimited 30$ data plan will loose it if they switch. that's att for ya lol
I am successfully using Wireless Tether version 2.0.5-RC2 to make this post after upgrading to Android 2.2.1 and re-rooting my bravo. Hope this is helpful in some way.

Cool - thanks for the update alamardaman.
I just did the same today and yup verified it worked! I used superoneclick to enable rooting.
Anyone tried android-wired-tether?
Ok. My buddy at work has a hero running 2.1
I rooted his phone using the z4 root, installed recovery using rom manager.
main reason for wanting to root was to be able to use wireless tether, so I installed it but can't get it to work at all.
app starts fine but when you hit the button to start tethering it says its starting but it won't send or receive any info, and I can't detect it sending out any kind of wireless signal.
Thought busybox might be the issue so I installed the newest version from the market. 1.18.somethingsomething.
Didn't work, still nothing.
googled the issue I'm having and can't find a fix. I'm using the newest version from the market, even tried a old version 1.61 I believe.
I'm out of ideas. Can anyone help?

Just occurred to me......the Hero only broadcasts Ad Hoc not Infrastructure if my recollection is correct. That could be your problem too.

when you started the app did you get a window asking for superuser permissions? if not then you are not rooted. I know that some of the carriers recently pushed an OTA update that blocked z4root's rooting method.

yes, thanks for asking, i should have stated that in my original post. I apologize. currently i have adfree, root explorer, and titanium all running with no issues on his hero.
if your on a sense 2.1 rom you need to use wireless tether v1.6 from google code this is due to the kernal in sense 2.1 roms if your on 2.2 or above v2.7 should work on almost all computer os's except ubuntu 11.0.4 due to a kernal issue. but usb tether works fine on ubuntu. also u can try wireless tether pre 3.0.14 from google code witch will work on almost all roms except for kifno sense roms and liquid sense roms. just please make sure if your on a 2.1 sense rom be sure to go to settings settup mode and select hero cdma then go down to lan settings and enable routing fix for hero.
if your wanting to connect to a ps3 i have a guide buried somewere in general that tells you how to set up a brdge

LOL....The Ad Hoc connection should still be present, just can't connect to the internet. I know this because I am a dope and always start my tether without starting my 3g and realize what I did when I can't open up a webpage. It's more then likely what Bierce was saying with the different Wireless Tether versions between 2.1 & 2.2 or a setting / script on the receiving device. With my Nook running CM7, by default it can connect to Ad Hoc, but running Honey Comb I have to change out the wifi supplicant to switch from infrastructure to Ad Hoc, and with my old iPaq I had to go into wireless / settings and enable Ad Hoc in the list of supported network types.
I've already done a search of the forums and haven't found a solid answer. I thought I was close once but the file link was deleted.
Goal: Wifi Tether free from Verizon's grasp on rooted official GB .596
I've seen threads where users report that The Black Hat patch works. Problem is the link is broken and I'm skeptical about the Google Search results.
If anyone can confirm a working method, you'd make my weekend.
Thanks to the best forum on the interwebs!

I'm running 2.2 Fission because Wireless Tether for Root Users still works (at least version 2.08-pre1 ***EXPERIMENTAL*** still does). I tried the GB leaks and various roms before coming back to 2.2 Fission because tether didn't work. Has anyone updated to 2.3 and had their tether work after rooting again?
Solution: The only thing I've found working is using the CM7 Rom and Barnacle.
I use ver. 2.0.5-pre14.apk and it works fine.
You've taken the official update that dropped yesterday and rooted? Not on a previous leak right?

I updated my Droid2 with yesterdays official verizon update Gingerbread 2.3.3 and wish I hadn't.
Wireless Tether now says Unable to start tethering. Is your device 'rooted'?
Still looking for some clarification on this as well. I know the new update can be rooted but my girlfriend currently uses EasyTether and I know that will be broken with the official, stock unrooted update. I'd like to see if there's a wired or wifi tether that is known to work on stock rooted software. I believe newer versions of Wifi Tether were tweaked to work on the Droid X with similar restrictions?
Try using ver 3.0

Verizon 3.0 works on official gingerbread?

Are you using the official tether or a rooted free one? I use barnacle wifi tether and it's worked on every ROM I've used. Just confirmed it works on the OTA GB with CM7 from the latest nightly.
Dumb Question
Sorry if this is such a newb question.
My DROID2 is rooted, but this morning I updated with the official Verizon Gingerbread update. Now my Wireless Tether doesn't work with my Ipad anymore.
Do I need to re-root and then download a new wireless tether?
Thanks,

Yes, you need to re-root. The below post has instructions and the file, it's a one click root for Droid 3 but it works on our phone. I just used it today.

Which tethers working for you? Barnacle is no longer working properly on my Droid 2, and others get directed to the Verizon site.

Can you be specific? What is not working about barnacle? Sometimes I have had to enable then disable wifi before using it because there can be an error where the wifi manager interferes. I just booted it up and it's working.

I read thru the solution you linked to and it seems to be for Droid 3 with Windows.
Is there a solution for just plain old Droid 2 (not global) and using a 2011 Macbook?
Doesn't seem the question has been answered definitively, and the thread is derailing into a how to obtain root. Yes, I'm refering to tethering like with wireless tether for root users, not mobile hotspot addon to your plan. I couldn't get tethering to work with the leaked, rooted versions of GB, as they seemed to have patched unauthorized tethering on those versions. I'm wondering if this is still true on the ota, or official, GB.

The droid 3 one click root works for almost any motorola phone, including the unreleased bionic.
As for the platform, can't help you with a mac =(. Next time you're better off with a PC of some kind. Cheaper too.
Deciding to just throw caution into the wind, I Titanium Backup'd my apps, made a backup through Clockwork Mod, then wiped data and cache, then rebooted into stock recovery, wiped data and cache there, then rebooted holding the up button on the keyboard to get the bootloader, then SBF'd, then OTA'd the GB, then rooted using
http://www.psouza4.com/droid3/#root
Then installed
wireless_tether_2_0_7.apk
from this site
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
and got it to connect and transmit data, but got the verizon redirect everytime.
So I rebooted the phone, and bam it worked. Didn't change any frequency channel, just a reboot. It may be noted that my laptop couldn't connect to AndroidTether, but as soon as I changed the SSID to what I had it on my 2.2 Froyo Rom, it hooked up right away. However I wasn't able to recreate this success and after several hours of beating my head against the wall, I gave up and just went back to Fission 2.2 and stopped. Couple days later I SBF'd, retook the OTA, flashed CM7 and Barnacle seems to work.
Try barnacle tether, it's free and on the market (for those getting redirected)
EDIT: Confirmed with my laptop just now. Barnacle works great, does not redirect to any site at all.
I would try CM7, especially if you just got the OTA update. It's been getting rave reviews and is amazing on battery life. Droidforums has all the info.

You've updated with the OTA, rooted and are using Barnacle? Or are you on CM7?
