[Q] What tethering app do I use with root? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Barnacle isn't working, I'm receiving some error messages.
Suggestions are appreciated.

Did you try foxfi. Also works without root.

Try dis instead:

Then you can just use the built in WiFi tethering function.

It works on my S3 running 4.1.1 but not sure about 4.2.2. I haven't loaded it on my wife's S4 yet.

I use Hotspot Control. Worked on my S3 and now on my S4.

I do confirm that FoxFi works perfectly well with my stock SGH-i337. :good:

Do any of these work without reporting to at&t? On my old infuse I had to freeze a file with titanium backup. Do I need to freeze anything with the s4? If so, can I still use titanium backup? I am rooted.
I have been tethering (wifi) with the es file explorer app. It works but I have to enter a different 7 digit code everytime I tether. That's a PITA. I don't know if its reporting to at&t either.....yet.

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!

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.

Gingerbreak doesn't even list Droid 2 being a supported device.

Root user?

I have this app called "connectbot" that installed for SSH and telnet. Well I found that it has another option to use the local command prompt. A lot of the commands work. Even netstat, but when I try to go down to root level it says access denied! I figure its because I am not root admin, so I my questions are;
Is there a built in command line prompt built into the note 10.1 and all other droid devices? If there is how do I access it?
Also with the current command prompt I have access to or the installed cmd that I dont know how to get access too, is there a way I can become root admin so I can rename folders or change directories so maybe I can install apps to my sd micro card or use the ps3 controller using sixaxis with out flashing the rom on here or installing anything, but just maybe make a script or yse commands to become admin?
Thanks for all your help in advance
Thanks,
Note 10.1 user

I assume this doesn't work for 4.1.2 - I tried it after updating and it fails to root.

The reason I liked the ExynosAbuse way is that it's so clean and simple. No flashing things or installing CWM. I know it's a very special case (and not even the main reason for the app), but still...
I found the new bootloaders on the latest JB release give you a custom status and raise the flash counter to 1 if you have used the exynos exploit to gain root.
Not good if you have an allshare cast dongle as it needs "official" status to work...
Gaining root through CWM, using triangleaway and then reflashing stock recovery left me with with no raised flash counter and an "official" status.... Even after using Mobile ODIN to upgrade to the latest German or Arab Emirates JB.

yes, I allowed root access via SuperSU

I have also rooted. I installed adaway.
But I have to run it every time I reboot " Download Files and apply ad blocking" or else it wont work. After every reboot when I go into the app its disabled.
Is it supposed to be like this.?

It probably doesnt support Note3 yet. But just use Adaway. Its just as good.
I think its a 4.3 thing. Couldnt get it to work right on most 4.3 roms.

Wich adblock solution do you use in KK?

So, what adblock solution do you use? Since Google banned adblockers from the play store I have been using AdFree, but after I upgraded to KitKat it's no longer working.
Are there any other apps worth using or a hosts file provider you know of?
Thanks!

The idea is nice enough, but I really like the hosts file solution as it blocks all ads system-wide regardsless of app.
Might return to it if I can't find an alternative, thanks.

I have read about it, and are usign it for my browsers on the PC, but can it block ads even in apps and videos?
CrashROM has a host enabled adblock app, can't remember off the top of my head which it is, but it works well also.

Yes. And yes. It's a complete ad block as complete as it gets. It's got a perk in that it doesn't even need root! (Although it DOES work better with root)
It has options to allow non - intrusive ads too. Which is actually helpful that it blocks all ads that are annoying and let's correctly used ads stay so that good developers get their money too
