Can anyone confirm for me that a rooted HTC Inc 1st Gen will wireless tether with a non rooted A500.
I currently have a rooted D1 and I can't use it to tether to my tab b/c of the ad-hoc. My D1 is starting to go anyway so I'd like to pick up a used Inc to hold me over til the SGS2 comes out. I know I can root the tab to allow ad-hoc, but right now I rather not. Thanks

Yes. I use the Wifi Tether app, since that is the only one I could get to work with my gTablet or the A500. Works well.
Thanks. ......Rushmore?

Im tryin to tether my droid 2 to my droid 1 so I can still mess around on the droid 1... I've tried both market version and the pre9 off the google project site... and the droid 1 can't see the d2 on either wifi or bluetooth... I've also tried a couple diff channels... the d2 can connect to the d1... is there some extra step I got to take to get it working... or can I even get it workin... both are rooted and droid 1 is running frozen yogurt

According to some things that I have read, your Droid 1 needs to be running Cyanogenmod 6 in order for it to pick up Ad Hoc networks, which is what your Droid 2 puts out. If it is running that then everything I have read points to yes, you can tether the Droid 1 to the Droid 2.
Yup that worked thx a alot

Is there a way to have our Xoom connect to the wireless tether ad-hoc instead of having to uses native 3G mobile hot spot app on fascinate. I know when I had the galaxy tab someone made a wpa.supplicant (think that's how it was spelled) file to put somewhere in /system/? So it could connect to phones using wireless tether.

Only if your Xoom is Rooted can you connect to Ad Hoc after a minor hack.
Root your phone and use wireless tether 3.0

As everyone else as said before, the only way right now is through rooting.
Root your phone. It's easier and you can share with things other than your xoom then.

Have any of you been able to connect to an ad-hoc connection with a xoom? Most of the connections have been made through handsets that do not use ad hoc mode.

What "minor hack"?????
His phone is rooted already if hes already using the Wireless Tether App from the market.
He just needs to install the newest beta which has infrastructure mode instead of Ad-Hoc, and the Xoom will identify it without any hacks on the Xoom.

Thanks for the input, but these apps are phone specific. I'm well aware of the wireless tether apps, both for root and the experimental 3.0. I've tried just about everything out there and can't get the Xoom to see my CDMA Hero running AOSP 2.3.3. Even the bluetooth tether will not connect. My laptop sees it fine, my Xoom sees an EVO that uses wireless tether. I'm afraid I may have to ditch the old Hero...
You have used 3.0 pre 4¿ that's what works for me
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
Thanks again, pre 4 errors out. It does not support cdma hero. I'll b looking into settings on the Xoom now.

I tried to tether with my evo using hot spot and wireless tether with no success. It works on my laptop but not on the zoom. Has anyone got it to work on zoom using evo? If so what settings?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
A friend of mine tethered off his stock evo just fine, no issues. Dont know his settings though, but since you can only select the security type, cant be much.
Works fine for me running xoom and evo unrooted. The xoom can't tell the economy from any other wifi but my second settings are just a standard named wpa2 set hotspot. Dhcp on, always in. Everyone in a while the xoom freaks out when the evo swaps between 3g and 4g but at worst in disable and re enable wifi and I'm fine. My second switches often since we don't officially have 4g in Columbus Ohio even though I have had signals most of the time since like last August.

Mine works perfectly tethered to my Evo running CM7.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
Not sure if this was resolved, but I tether off of my EVO regularly, running CM7 stock.
OP, what setup are running on your EVO?
Swyped from my EVO
From what I gather, CM7 on the Evo has infrastructure mode wifi tether by default so Android devices shouldn't have any problems seeng the SSID (as opposed to Adhoc).
Also, the latest wifi tether version (direct from the code.google.com website) now does infrastructure mode, so you shouldn't have any issues as well.

I am running my 2.2 rls5 and I cannot get it to work. It seems to be a issue with the ad hoc network. I have tried several wireless heather apps including barnacle and others. Nothing works. May have to take zoom back if I cannot tether.
I tethered my XOOM to my EVO running CM7 RC4 just fine and dandy. No problems here, move along.
Im not using the Evo but the Samsung Epic.....WAY better phone, screen is 312x better, no HDMI out but the qwerty more than makes up for it.
The biggest downside I am finding is that using the FREE wifi apps, rather than the paid ones, i find it difficult to connect to my Sprint data network on the Epic with my Xoom. I am able to connect with my Epic to the Xooms network, but it only has 1gb and it costs money to go over. I have unlimited on the Epic, but I can only tether with Mac and Windows, and some odd distros of Linux that use older wifi network managers that were compatible with ad hoc networks......No luck getting the Xoom to connect the Ad Hoc only wifi hotspot that I am able to get using free third party apps.
Using the paid app works fine, but not with the app called Wifi-Tether, or Wireless Tether.

Are you using a paid tethering app, the official included tethering app, or a third party free app that requires rooting? Are you specifically using "Wireless Tether"?
If not, then its not really relevant to the OP.
I successfully rooted my wife's Droid 2 on Gingerbread and now when I run the wireless tether app, I get a notification that i'm using the hot spot feature, takes me to a website showing me the cost to adding the hot spot feature and not allowing me to tether unless I pay.
Is there a way to bypass this so that she can use her wireless tether without this nonsense?

There is 'wireless tether for root users' in the market and it is free. It allows for wifi tethering.

That's the app i've been using. Never had a problem on froyo but now with gingerbread, it recognizes that a hotspot has been activated when I turn on the wireless tether for root app.

This will work, I use it myself even on cricket.
Google wifi tether, it will bring you to the current google code versions, itll be something like wifi tether beta7 it will be yellow instead of the typical green

Looks like beta 7 was taken down off the site. Beta 6 doesn't work.. Wow how lame, root with no hotspot. this forum is dead

I can confirm that beta 6 works 100%.
Just finally got success on gingerbread rooted Droid 2.
When we opened the settings, 'Droid X (CDMA)' was already selected.
I could have tried it before and selected that option in the past (and this maybe was reading those settings)
but with everything normal except Droid X (CDMA) chosen it works. Try it!

Wireless tether app v. 3 beta11 does not work for me even when set on DroidX (CDMA). Is free wireless tether with root a thing of the past? I've seen the TBH hack, but I don't run windows and I don't know if I trust myself messing with the phone that much...
Works fine for me on the 1/21 build of cm7

Niether one of the above mentioned versions work on my R2D2.
You need to get a hold of the team blackhat zip file that's the wifi hotspot hack, then you will flash it in clockwork mod recovery. After that download the latest wifi tether apk file and it will work.

Anybody get wifi tethering to work on rooted ginger 596?
Yeah Verizon added some code into the stock gingerbread build that lets them detect when an app is attempting to create a wifi network. So it high jacks you to their website. You can either use team black hats wifi tether fix, or use a custom rom that doesn't have that ****ty code in it. I'm currently using MIUI 2.2.10 and its basically a gingerbread rom with ICS features. You can run wifi tether no problem on it, it also has its own built in wifi tethering feature.
If you're gonna stick with gingerbread stock though, team black hats zip fix is most likely gonna be you're only solution.
I am running 2.2.2 rooted Motorola Milestone X. Is there a current root for 2.3.5? I use WiFi Tether to surf internet on my laptop at home. When my girlfriend updated her phone when 2.3.5 when it first released I couldn't root her phone so I haven't done mine yet.
Is there a current working root for it?
THanks
The method in the General forum should work.

2.3.5 borked my wifi tethering, and I can't get it to function anymore. I've been looking for ways to go back to 2.2.
If you really like wifi tethering, I'd stay away from Gingerbread.
