USB tethering

Is there a way to enable the usb tethering on the Hero? I've read sprint disabled this feather awhile back. I'm rooted and use wifi tethering but my aunt just got a Hero (loves it btw), is not rooted and asked me could she tether. I don' live close to her or I'd root her phone. Is usb tethering a lost cause?
Thanks

you can do it on the 2.1 update (maybe just roms based off the update?) but you need to flash a VZW pri. to do so you need root? (citation needed)
i use the native tethering in cm 6.0 and it works awesomely. almost seems faster than my RoadRunner

Yes I know all is possible with flashing, which in this case is not an option. My aunt is not nearly technical enough for a root & flash.

Before we get into different prls. What OS version is her hero.

She is on latest 2.1 ending in .6

PDAnet and EasyTether. Just tell her to pick one, download it from the market, follow the setup instructions, and then tether away.

Is there any Sense ROM with USB Tethering?

[Q] wifi tether

PLEASE HELP! I can't get my wifi tether to work on my mytouch 3g. the application says its on and working but i cant get internet access on my laptop, an other devices such as smart phones can't even see it. i used super one click to root my phone and then installed the wifi tether app. i have superuser and spare parts. i have rooted this phone before and it worked fine so i know the hardware is capable. any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've never had luck in 1.5 teathering you can flash the rom I use in my signature the 1.2 version and try that...

First of all, wrong section. I'll move to General where it belongs.
Secondly, does your rom support net filtering? If you don't know then at least tell us what kind of rom you're using.

i apologize, i did not change rom. its stock i only rooted to access a minor overclock and tether features. last time i rooted my phone i used a different method and had a caynogen 6 something rom froyo lookalike . and the stock rom the root i did last time did it also. if i need to load a custom rom then please let me know which one is best for the features i need

Ask the developer of your rom if the kernel supports netfiltering. If it's pure stock then that's your problem.

Update! Just an fyi. I got it to work very nicely simply by adjusting the frequency in the application's settings.

Native thethering PD1

I unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP and installed a stock rooted PD1 ROM. I still have root, but I no longer have BT tethering (I am on an unlimited data plan). Is there a way for me to get it back?
BTW, thank you to those who made the threads that enabled me to get this far.

I am able to get tethering to work with Foxfi, which is not the end of the world considering how rarely I use it, but I still would rather be able to get the native feature to work.

Flash this and you will have tethering using stock hotspot, even better than bluetooth. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24572369242686524

Does this one work with PF4? have you ever seen how to make the edits for thetering for current roms?
I would just love to learn what edits are required so i can do it myself in future

Yes for both PD1 and PF4

Stupid question. Flash with odin, twrp, or flashfire?

It wouldn't work through TWRP, so I flashed with Flashfire. That worked and now the native tethering is functional. Thank you very much!

Any interest in an unrooted insanely debloated ROM?

The ENG kernel used for root is great in a sense that it has aided in giving us root access, but it is nowhere near as refined as the factory kernel. @psouza4 has done a TON to make this kernel awesome, but there are a lot of people who have reverted back to stock because of the limitations.
I'm considering making an insanely debloated ROM that will hopefully run on the factory PE1 kernel. Root access would be needed to do the initial install with FlashFire, but afterwards there would be no root access. This might be what a few of you guys are looking for, a blazing fast ROM that runs forever on a charge, without getting hot. Once the ROM is flashed, there will be NO ability to modify unless the ENG kernel is flashed and rooted again. This ROM would NOT be for anyone interested in running Xposed framework in anyway.
If there is enough interest, I'll start working on something FAST!

Definitely interested in this

Extremely interested.

Could you throw in a modified hosts file for ad blocking? Or, should I mod it first then unroot? Also, would bypassing the checks for tethering be an option before going back to original kernel?

I'm hoping to include some mods like this. I believe I'll be able to modify the host file, but you would not be able to update the hosts once the ROM is installed.

Great! I was thinking of trying something along this route. I will make a flashfire backup of internal first then could give it a go.

I'll keep you posted when I have something worthy of flashing.

Wont future updates just re-bloat the rom?

The ROM would prevent future updates, so all updates would be done via re-root and flash.

Yeah.. very interested then... as long as you keep theme store in it

Awesome
This is exactly what I was looking for! I'd be eternally grateful if you did it.

I would love to see something like this!

My question is, since I can always at least disable bloat, can I make some changes (provisioning for tethering, modified hosts file) then unroot and reflash stock kernel?

The only reason I wanted root is for viper4android/audio mods. Would an unrooted rom be able to include that?

That's an interesting question. Some optimizations like that could be added. But that app wouldn't work since it requires root privileges.

This will be great. An insanely debloated stock VZR 935U ROM with non-provisioned tethering, HD calling, and VVM is all that that's needed to make this the ultimate phone. Everything else that's need for full VZW functionality can be installed from the Play Store.
However, how would you go back to the stock kernel after installing this ROM? Just by flashing the stock AP in Odin?

I'd be stoked if this phone had stock mm status bar icons that's the only thing I've honestly really used root for and it still doesn't say LTE but instead the ugly 4G icon.. I'd even be alright with Verizons icon if it wasn't persistent on WiFi but then they're still ics looking signal bars. My s7 runs rather warm and battery drain rather sucks with the eng. Kernel starting to think it's not quite worth being able to themeish my status bar. I'd be interested in a debloated stock rom with HD calling if you can throw in the status bar that's icing on the cake.

Sorry for not checking the thread lately. I'm still trying to figure out how to make this work. I have some ideas, but nothing concrete yet.

This isn't going to work. DM-Verity checks will cause the phone not to boot once the original kernel is flashed back. If there is even a byte changed in the system partition it will make the hash invalid and cause the DM-Verity check to fail. The only debloating you can possibly do is simply disabling packages. (In the event of not wanting the Engineering kernel/root.)

Rooted Nougat S7 - How to Get Wifi Tethering

Hi,
Sorry I'm not very tech-savvy but did manage to root my S7. I was sad when I realized S7 was Nougat as I used FoxFi on my S6 daily. So now I have a verified rooted phone but I cannot get free tethering still. I installed quite a few (ROOT) tethering apps and they all fail even after I grant root permission.
Some help please?
Thanks,
Mark

This ROM has the ability to Wifi tether already built in. It offers several versions of debloat through an Aroma installer and is basically one of the only customizable roms we currently have.
An alternative would be to backup all your apps and personal things, then Odin flash to MM and restore apps and personals. This should allow you to flash things like Xposed.

thanks but I already rooted my phone. I don't understand though, there are so many tethering apps that say "root only" but they don't work for me. Is there a step I have to do to make those work?

You either use the hybrid Rom for tether with nougat, or go back to marshmallow. Nougat doesn't allow tethering services to activate through root with the security patches and request of the carrier I believe, with exception of the hybrid Rom for u or tmo/vzw
