What about wireless tether?

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.

How do I get wireless tether working?

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.

Wired tether Droid2 ?

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.

I3 rom keeps losing root.

I just want to know if this is something that is happpening to anyone else? Some roots required apps work just fine but then I get some apps like wifi tether, busybox, and barnacle tether don't and even tell me I don't have root access. If anyone has had this problem please give me the heads up. If not ill assume its some sort of issue with how my setup is and ill Odin and start from scratch.

Try flashing su.
those apps are not supported on the ROM, you still have root

Marcusant told someone to download barnacle because Wifi tether wasn't working. You sure that one isn't supported?

DROID2 Gingerbread Update

Some users report that the OTA update (Android 2.3.3) is live right now.
Check your updates Settings>About phone>System updates and report issues.
It is, got it last night on the wife's D2.
Have they rooted it yet? I need to get titanium backup on there and restore her apps, she's freaking out!
Yes just use droid 3 method

Sadly, this didn't work for me. Has the droid 3 method worked for anyone else?
It didn't work for you? Did you follow the instructions correctly? No one has reported any problems with it so far

Had to try it twice, first time didn't recognize it. Worked fine.
Working great for me. I SBF'd back to stock from the gingerbread leak, downloaded and installed the update over wifi in about 10 minutes. Rooted using the D3 method and flashed the latest CM7GB. Working like a boss.

Ran it several times, I see the SU binary in the system/bin directory and busybox, but barnacle and titanium are unable to obtain root.
Well I changed the script from xbin to bin and it seems to work now. Still unable to get Barnacle going, but closer.
That figures. Day after i leave big red and get my g2x, gb goes live for the d2 lol. niiiiice

Depends which app. I use Barnacle, works great still.
I rooted using: http://www.psouza4.com/droid3/

This worked for me to root after the OTA.
How come says its rooted but when I use WiFi tether it says I'm not
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
Go to your app drawer and look for a skull and crossbones Superuser app. Click it and see if you can add wifi tether to the list. If that icon is not there, you're not rooted.
It's there but when I press to turn it on it says I'm not rooted
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
I would run one click root again, if that does not work, SBF back to stock and then re-flash GB OTA and root once more.

HotSpot hack

Is there a trick to install the hacked HotSpot? It keeps saying "Not Installed". I am stock rooted.
Edit : disregard, I must be tired. I don't even know I tried to read the op lol.
Thanks E4gN.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
If your trying to install it like a normal .apk its not going to work. You have to move it to system\app and set the right permissions
Sent from my Mikrunny 4g using XDA App
What are the correct permissions may I ask? I have friend that just rooted her phone and wants the hotspot hack instead of wifi tether. Are the permissions the same as others, need to be inverted "7"?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
I believe, if it goes in /system/app , as noob stated, then permissions will be rw-r-r. Same as other apks in system/app.

No, no, no, no....if you are not using a rooted custom ROM.
The hotspot hack(s) will only work on deodexed ROMs which you must flash through recovery. Since stock ROM is odexed, the only way you will receive the hotspot hack other than using the wifi tether app is to flash a rooted custom (possibly rooted stock) ROM which is deodexed, which most of them are.
The hotspot hack works on odexed roms check out the classic it only comes odexed and has hotspot working u can do anything odexed u can deodexed now a days

Ok, 1 odexed ROM. I still have never seen a hotspot hack that wasn't part of a custom ROM, unless I've missed it somewhere, and have never found one for stock ROM, unless it was a custom rooted stock ROM.
Ummm try looking there are modded hotspots to oush to your rom with instructions all over the dev section
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I've always just flashed a rom that has hacked hotspot baked in. It's never caused any problems. I used it as my ISP for an entire summer with no issues.
Ok, so I'm rooted with superuser. How do I set those permissions when it put it in the system/app folder?

It's much easier to either use the wifi tether app or just flash a rooted ROM with the hotspot already hacked, since every hotspot hack I ever did needed to be done in a CUSTOM ROM anyway.
Also, that system/app thing (with the rw-r--r-- permissions) will install the app, but will not hack it into working, tried that about a year ago.
