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.

As much as I love to.root and mod my phone I can deal without it but I need to know does the droid x allow you to install from the sd card without root?

Yes, if you enable install from untrusted sources in settings.
The DroidX is rootable. If you get one with froyo (2.2) just use the Droid 2 root method.

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.

Weird. Idk what else to say. Strange bug.

I have friend that has a Droid X and she wants me to root it for her to help her with her battery life. I have a rooted HTC Inspire and it's crazy how much my battery has improved w/ rooting, custom ROMs, and using SetCPU. After looking around in your forums, I've noticed that even though they're both Android phones they are completely different in the wrold of how to root. I have a few questions and hope you can help me out.
1. What is easiest way to root? I see somethings about z4root, but not sure since it's no longer in the market. I have noticed that this phone is about 1,000 times easier to root than my Inspire was.
2. I see that you guys have no luck w/ ROM Manager. Why and what should I be using for the Droid. The guys in HTC and Inspire forums swear by ROM Manager and I've had nothing but luck with it.
3. Since there are dedicated webpages to the Droids, can I find more ROMs there as it seems there aren't as many choices here for the Droid X as there are in the Inspire forum.
Thank you for the help.
Is she running on Gingerbread? If so, there is currently no root method except to SBF to Froyo, root that with a tool such as z4root, then download and install a pre-rooted version of gingerbread available online.

The X is a relatively simple phone to work with as far as root is concerned. Like the previous poster said, if she has taken the latest update, you'll have a few extra steps, but its still pretty easy. As far as Rom Manager goes, it works great for the X, but you have to use the Droid X bootstrapper in order to use it successfully. The biggest factor for the X is that the boot loader is locked, so while we can run custom roms, we don't have the same freedom as other phones. Everything you need to know about rooting is pretty easy to find in these forums, so have fun.

As get as ROMs go can you guys point met in the direction of Blur based ones. I know she's going to want to keep it blur based because that's what she's used to.

I sbf back to froyo using rsdlite. Then I rooted using z4root, droid 2 bootstrapper, and flashed Liberty 2.0.1, which is a froyo build rom. Liberty is now in the early builds of a GB based version, but I hear it's buggy right now. 2.0.1 runs like a dream! It's about 20 times faster than my stock DX has EVER been, and I haven't had a reboot yet. I kept my launcher, Open Home 6 so I could keep the home screen settings like I had them, and I'm still using Widget Locker to keep my lock screen custom..
thx for the info. think i will check it out

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.

Hi everyone I have a rooted evo and I've rooted and unrooted a couple times and I am very compfortable with flashing roms because I do it all the time. My boss has a milestone x and she wants me to root it for her. I was wondering if someone could give me a list of roms that are stable and work well on milestone x also hotspot working! Also is there an amonra recovery I can put on. If anyone has the files I will need to root that would be great. On my Evo I just unrevoke then flash amonra and a Rom and its in business. Is there a big change on how to root this? Thanks a lot Droidxers I really appreciate it!

I rooted mine using SuperOneClick root and it worked easily!
As for a working ROM I have read that it is a long process to make Droid X ROM's work with our APN's and it is possible to get stuck with Verizon's network so I haven't even tried it.
What I have done that has made the experience much different is install some apps and script's that 180'ed the stock ROM and make it feel like a completely different device.
Well this is what I did, I searched gingerbreak on 4shared . Com website, downloaded, open it, then press root. The root is successful when it turns off, if it doesn't work redownload another apk..
For the CMW recovory..I searched droid x bootstrapper, again on 4 shared..pressed bootstrap recovery, then reboot recovery.
Far as custom roms go its not many that work on Milestone X, Liberty 2.0.1 does with no tweakin..
Miui and Cm7 works with a script kernel tweak seen here http://www.youtube.com/watch?nomobile=1&v=vxZ7cBt2K-Q you just have to delete the Verizon kernel script with notepad and save the changes..the exact tutorial is under "show more" under the video..that should work
