I'm using DC v1 right now and there is no MNS (Mobile Network Sharing) as of now, so I have made a nand img for you all of the last rom that I used that had MNS working 100%.
I use this ONLY when I need to tether... which is often lol because I live on campus at the University of Miami.
I flashed Flipz's 2.1 v1.8-7 Eclair (which has working MNS) that I had lying around.
Stripped it for JUST tethering, got rid of Sprint crap & the works.
Includes,
Wireless Tether
&
NetCounter. Since there is no display on how much data/wifi you are using, NetCounter is a *free* program on the market that will tell you.
THIS IS A NANDROID IMAGE. DO NOT FLASH AS A .ZIP!!!!!
I am not responsible if this screws anything up. I just posted my nand image.
UNZIP FILE AND PUT FOLDER "2.1_Eclair_Tether" ON YOU SDCARD UNDER:
nandroid > Your serial # >
THEN APPLY LIKE A NORMAL NAND RESTORE.
I have never shared a Nandriod image before, so not even sure if it will work. I DID NOT sign into anything after flashing (google, market, gmail, facebook...) so it is completely stock.
Anyone willing to try this nand restore?
Just trying to help out those who miss MNS.
Also, post your results, would like to know if sharing nandroid backups could be convenient.

Well then...
For everyone using DC and doesn't want to switch to DarchLegend, not that it's bad, just not wanting to make a big switch.
Ok, well if no one wants to try....
I have a question: Is it even possible to share unlinked Nandroid images from phone to phone?? that's sort of why this is here too, to figure that out.

I flashed an old Nandroid backup onto a replacement phone (different serial, obviously) and it worked fine. Only thing that I had to do afterwards was clear the cache on Gmail for some reason, though I don't think it was related to flashing between different phones since others in the forums have reported the same issue.
Oh...and I'm using EasyTether Lite that I'd downloaded from the market a while back. Works great. I hear that the latest version has some additional limitations though...such as no https sites.
I'm using DC 2.1 and my MNS works fine.
Start up wireless tether, connect with laptop or whatever, disable mobile network, enable mobile network, wireless tether works perfect.
Its a bug, but that is the fix. Only need to do it once I believe.

I'm anxious to see this too. I remember working on my Hero back when tethering on 1.5 discussions were happening, and really the only thing you could do in the CDMA Workshop (I think that's the name of it) was change your email address used as your id to the network from the one that's using PAM to mimic what was being sent during normal data usage. I think in the PAM communication was set blank, and the normal one was set to your id. It didn't work at all actually. It seemed that something else was built into the Android/Sprint stuff in Android that made that impossible. This is basically what you did, albeit through WindowsMobile's registry, to accomplish the same result in windows mobile.
I think in this instance, it's the other way around. Meaning that we have to get around it from a software standpoint so that it doesn't access the Sprint validation to determine whether to use PAM (Phone as Modem) line or normal line (even though it's just an id.)
This is what MNS accomplishes, it gets around that by appearing as normal data, and doesn't cause our Hero to throw error 67 data failure messages.
I may be completely off, but sounds feasible right?

Has anyone else had there hero say invalid sim card when rebooting?
Mine goes away and then "sprint"replaces it.
Im curious because whenever i try and and do internet sharing i get Error Code 67 Registration failure pcs vision username and/or password may be incorrect.
I have no idea if these two problems are related very confusing...
I called sprint and got my MSL code and did a user name reset then profile and prl update.(not sure if its the same as MSL reset)
Also could it be my PRI?
Not sure if this helps but i have:
Fw, 2.1-update 2
build, Fresh rom 2.0d
baseband, 2.42.00.03.10
Sw, 2.20.651.1
PRI, flipz_01
PRL, 60664
i noticed this today for the first time.... my phone all of a sudden had a ton of force closes then rebooted and during the reboot process i saw the invalid sim card display... weird
and im on dc 2.0.7.2 with the treve jit mod
invalid sim is normal, internet sharing doesnt work on the 1.70 pri.

Invalid SIM is normal on Fresh, I think it's because of his AutoPRI script on boot up, but I can't recall why specifically it does it.
If you are running Flipz_PRI then you really can't tell what you should be at.
If internet sharing doens't work for you, then you are likely on 1.70_003.
As far as I know there is no way of spoofing a PRI to get MNS to work. However you could call sprint and ask reallllly nicely to give you MNS, maybe the support rep will be in a good mood.
@ abcdfv and kcarpenter thanks for the quick replys.
in respose to getting MNS working by sprint. I was unaware this was something that could be added. I thought if you have the "everything" plan unlimited data is included.
Im guessing this costs extra? if so ill stick with the wireless teatehr for root users unless someone can suggest a better solution
flashing an Eris ROM will break your pri. Fresh will automagically fix it again though.
edit: breaking your pri will enable wired tethering.

Easytether or PDANet in the market. I have used PDANet my self, but it honestly kind of sucks. Not the speeds or anything, but because you can't let a big download go for a while because it will randomly drop the connection. Which I think is just a design flaw, not necessarily a problem for general browsing.
I am not even sure if easy tether works on our phone.
There are a few apps in the market that want you to setup an OpenVPN connection on your laptop and use it to connect to the phone and use its data connection, but that seems overly cumbersome for what you are trying to accomplish.
i think this is an issue on most 2.1 roms. this is why we need the final released. doesn't hurt anything, it's more of an eye sore for a minute until the sprint text loads.
I was gunna say. I think its on most 2.1 roms. Maybe because we still have bits and pieces from the GSM hero like we did on 1.5. I would say its gunna be fixed in the official like fixxxer said.
ok good because i was considering flashing back to a 1.5 fw, reseting my MSL updating my profile and prl, then flashing back to a 2.1fw.
Sense this stuff is normal i'll quit complaining and wait for the official rom to be release and moded by this great fourm.
thanks guys
Hey guys I rarely, if ever, post anything, but I made a discovery yesterday that I just tested and wanted to let everyone in on it. I have the **Leaked** but now **Official** "RUU_Hero_C_Sprint_2.27.651.5_R_signed_release" installed on my phone. My phone had not been rooted and I decided to upgraded from 1.5 to 2.1 yesterday (just couldn't get myself to pull the trigger sooner). While I molesting the new features I went to mount the phone as a disk drive and noticed there were some additional options. Once you plug in the USB into the phone, access the pull-down menu from the status bar and press "Charge Only". You will be greeted with another menu that, among other things, has an option for "Internet Sharing" select this and the phone will install some software on your computer. After that your computer will be able to utilize your phone as a modem. Now I haven't tried this over just a 3G connection as I live out in the country and my service is terrrrrible out here, but what I was able to confirm is that this works over WiFi with no problems. I turned off the Wifi card on my laptop and enabled the Wifi on the phone. A few moments later I got the connection indicator on my laptop (Windows Vista) and away we go. I posted this using the connection. Can anyone confirm this works over 3G?
Screen shots posted below. (Sorry about the blurry pics, I don't have the steadiest hands)
did you update with the RUU?
FYI, this is not "wifi" tethering, it's "wired" tethering.
good to know internet sharing was in the final!
If I understand your question correctly, yeah I updated with the RUU but I wasn't really interested in rooting the phone.
Yes it works, but you need to change your PRI

In other words, no it does not work if you ran the RUU. You would have to be rooted, flash an Eris based ROM, and then update using the SprintUpdate2.zip Damageless posted.

Aside from "Flashing an Eris ROM breaks your PRI" he wouldn't find much. Sometimes you just gotta let it slide and lend a hand.
Are you guys talking about the same thing he is? He said he ran the RUU and is not rooted. He said he doesn't get good 3g where he lives but what he did was turn off wifi on his laptop and enable it on the phone. He enabled internet sharing and it shared his internet connection with the laptop.
This isn't wifi tethering like we usually describe it, but he is describing a different situation than the one you guys are talking about. Unless I missed something in the posts.

You're both right and wrong.
I was assuming that he rooted his phone before updating to 2.1, thought he just made a mistake by adding the ruu part.
And he was asking about 3g tethering since he could do it over wifi.
To answer his question: You cannot tether that way if you ran the official RUU...that is until an exploit is found and you root your phone.
PDAnet will still work for you though
He probably has one of the few Sprint PRI's that allows MNS....bastage.....
Thanks guys, I'll take my laptop to work tomorrow and give it a try with and without PDANet. Thanks for all of the feedback.
What is you PRI number?
Pri version: 2.20_003
I have the same PRI number. How did you get the network sharing to work? Did you download any software?
yeah we need to find out if this new PRI will allow wired tethering, but I don't want to lose root
we need a few people (read: guinea pigs) to test it out
Ok, I got the network sharing via wired tether to work with WIFI. Now if I can get it to work on 3g.
Edit:
I tried to use the 3g network and it will not allow you to wire tether. It will keep popping up error 67 which "Data Call Failure". Boo.
I'm currently trying to figure out where exactly the PRI is stored in a ROM, so I can make update.zip's of different PRI's, to allow tethering.

The hero has always been able to share wifi using the usb tether. The 3G sharing will be disabled for you as always. Sorry to burst your bubble this is not something new. In fact, way back before we had root you could use a trick to tether the 3G over usb by turning off mobile network and then enabling the MNS while turning the mobile network back on. It was just a bug that someone found to bypass the 3G sharing lockout. After we got root no one really needed that trick anymore.
The best WiFi/BT tether/hotspot app out there has just added support for the EVO 4G about half an hour ago. Of course, root is required but it's just one click away with unrevoked.
Forget Sprint's $30 a month tether - this one is free and supported by the community.
This is why I love Android.

SilverStone,
Was your device already rooted or did you use the "unrevoked" apk that was available? Many wrote no success with the "unrevoked" program.
Thanks!
I actually need USB tethering. Does this have it included or do I need another app?
Works great! If only I can figure out this battery issue.
It works like a champ. Wayyy better speeds on 4G.

If it's a separate ROM, it might not work as it relies on a different WiFi driver (one for access point), which is located somewhere in the ROM. If toast's doesn't have it, then it won't work.
Perhaps toast can put the driver back to where it is on the stock ROM and update his ROM.
Yeah.. doesn't work. I've tried.
I can get it to install, SuperUser permissions from Unrevoked run and I allow it etc.. all is well in the "root" department however... It doesn't show upon any wireless radar anywhere.
At least it runs, was on toasts rom and had to wipe and start from scratch to get unrevoked back on. Wouldn't start on Toasts at all.
So anyway, this doesn't actually do any good if you can't see it to connect to it. :/

The DX bootloader situation sucks... Hope this brightens up someones day...
This was tested on a Motorola Droid X Froyo 2.2(OTA) Rooted
Requirements:
Root(just kidding)
Stock 3G Mobile Hotspot Application
EasySwitch(Trial) by SmartDyne(Download from Market)
1. Download and Setup EasySwitch Widget
2. Fire up 3G Mobile Hotspot and wait for it to fully connect up (30 seconds?)
- If this is your first time running through this, open up your browser and go somewhere. You should get the Verizon Self Provisioning page... If not, you're wasting your money.
3. Now use EasySwitch to cycle the Radio *Off* then back *On* (Top row, 4th from the left... you must do this every time after you fire up 3G Mobile Hotspot)
Voila...
I know this process could be refined some... Who wants to help? #Free4All <- That was an invitation for dialog.
setNetworkPreference(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE)
Update 10/9/10 2:55pm PST:
Who has root and more than 5 wireless devices? I only have 4...
/data/misc/wifi/hostapd.conf
max_num_sta = 5 <-- increase this number.
Someone test this...
Was Easywidget one of the stock widgets? This may have been some of the bloat I removed.
I believe the solutions is an app that does the following:

No. Please don't come in a thread acting as if you know everything and have some simple fix with a smart alec response. Wireless Tether is ad-hoc mode, as is Barnacle. This method is access point instead, which some people need specifically as opposed to ad-hoc.

No, not a build.prop thing, it's an application programming thing... Long story short, 3G Mobile Hotspot switches your phone's data connection from "TYPE_MOBILE" to "TYPE_MOBILE_DUN", which shuts down you your data connection unless you you are subscribed to the 3G Mobile Hotspot service. Cycling 3G off/on in EasySwitch switches your data connection back to TYPE_MOBILE, while keeping 3G Mobile Hotspot open.

Sound like you might have cycled wifi instead. I was however incorrect in saying to toggle 3G, when what I really meant was to toggle *Cell Service* which is 4th from the left on the top row in EasySwitch. If it's still trippin, let me know what mods and such that you're running. I just figured this out earlier today so i don't know all the permutation of why it might *not* work. TY for the feedback.

3G is actually the Up & Down Arrows on Easy Switch. The Cell tower is just your basic cell service (non 3G), although it IS the one you must toggle.
Just wanted to clear that up.

This works GREAT by the way, thank you very much for posting!

Thanks for clarifying that. Changed the OP so people don't get confused. Guess I should have known that, but I'm new Android and Phone modding in general so some of the basic things slip by me..
Glad you found this useful. Your feedback is much appreciated!
Awesome, but is there any way to do this without EasySwitch?
e.g. adb? terminal emulator?
I just don't care much for payware, let alone crippleware. :/
I tried this at work ( vzw hahaha) on my phone the way you stated and also tried with another coworkers x. His browser redirected him to vzw provisioning page as described, mine did not since I used the method described. However I was still able to connect another phone to both mine and a coworkers phone. Makes me worry about being charged the overage rate. Any ideas?
*update*
When connected to an x, fascinate redirected to vzw provisioning page. So this does work. Question is, will my bill sky rocket Haha. Gonna investigate further.

The bootloader situation is sickening... Hope this brightens up someones day...
This was tested on my: DroidX 2.2(OTA) Rooted
Requirements:
Root(actually, probably not)
Stock 3G Mobile Hotspot
EasySwitch(Trial) by SmartDyne(Download from Market)
1. Setup EasySwitch Widget
2. Fire up 3G Mobile Hotspot
- If this is your first time running through this, open up your browser and go somewhere. You should get the Verizon Self Provisioning page... If not, you're wasting your money.
3. Use EasySwitch to Toggle *Cell Service* off/on(The Antenna Tower, Top row fourth from the left... you must do this every time after you fire up 3G Mobile Hotspot)
Voila...
I know this process can be refined some... Who wants to help?
I believe the solutions is an app that does the following:
setNetworkPreference(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_MOBILE)
This method may work on other VZ Android phones with a 3G Mobile Hotspot...

if thats the case, why dont we just edit the apk with this option always on and re-sign it again?

ATM, I'm have not tested any other apps that are free that can provide the needed functionality. The other apps I saw on the market seemed to just switch between 2G/3G, and not actually cycle the data connection off and on. Flight mode cycles wifi too, so that's a no go. ADB/Terminal... I tried other methods for doing this, pppd up/pppd down... no go..
Again, this works because of VZ tries to switch our data connection from "mobile", to "mobile_dun", to try and ferry us down their pay pipe... Cycling cell service switches us back to a "mobile" connection while keeping the 3G Mobile Hotspot running.
This is a Work In Progress... I believe that a widget could be made to automatically catch when the data connection gets switched over, and hijack it back. I have good idea of API calls in Dalvik necessary to make this happen, but it's been about 10 years since I really got down on programming anything, and my thing was web interfaces with PERL, never really got into Java. I am interested in Android Developement, so I'm currently tinkering with putting this widget together, but I currently don't have the know-how to put it all together. So EasySwitch is kind of my Proof-of-Concept tool.
I feel you, though. EasySwitch is just the current work around. Does the job, though...

This should more or less be equivalent to Barnacle/Wireless Tether. They all just use your "mobile" data connection.
I believe this to be actually more covert than the "Free 3G Mobile Hotspot for Incredible" method, which actually uses VZ's "mobile_dun" pay pipe, and uses the customers "[email protected]" to authenticate.
So, your bill should not skyrocket.

This was another one of the possibilities I had in mind. I don't really understand how to Decompile .APK's. Do you know how to do this? If it is possible to modify the APK, I would actually just bypass the connection switching routine all together, and just move on to starting up the wifi side of things.
<edit>
If you know more about possibly making this work in this way, which actually would be the cleanest method possible, I'd appreciate any kind of help.

^^^ This would run into C&D issues, huh? Back to - mobile()
It's weird.. I finally got data to work but if i try to call out it just has a busy signal and if i try to call the phone it goes to voice mail.. wtf?

Did you finish the process with QPST after using CDMA? If your getting a fast busy signal like sound, it's more then likely Cricket not having your correct ESN. Do you have an account setup already and have provided them your converted MEID #?
My friend had given me the wrong MIN number.. for some reason data still worked. Changed the MIN and walla.. Find out another thing later that day though.. Google voice acts crazy with cricket on a flashed Droid X. Made it pretty much impossible for someone to call me. Would actually say the number is no longer in service. Tried to deactivate call forwarding from the info in account settings for google voice. it says to dial *740 on your phone and hit call.. Doesn't work. *720 WILL fix the issue though. Something to do with Cricket not doing conditional call forwarding. .

Glad to hear it's working. Actually, funny thing with Cricket and data...as soon as your done with CDMA, you will have data. Let's say you have a data plan already on your phone and you buy another phone you are going to upgrade to. You can still flash your new phone to Cricket and while your old phone might not have voice calls/texts, you can surf the web on both phones still getting perfectly clear 3G where it's available
YEA! I have a friend that i flashed a mogul and a Touch pro to cricket back in the day. He had the mogul activated and was still able to surf the web with the Touch pro. Nice little bonus i guess. lol
ok, so its been awhile since i have been on xda. i just got my hands on a droid x yesterday and have spent pretty much 8-12 hrs trying to figure out how the **** to flash it to cricket. can u pls post or redirect me to a site that has good instructions oon how to flash it. and yes befoore u start flaming me i have been through xda, ppcgeeks, howard forums, and droid forums. everythbing so far has been crap. i feel like a lost puppy damnit. pls help...

There used to be an online tutorial on how to flash a DX to Cricket but the whole forum has been down for a while. Its a lengthy process to flash and as you already know, it takes a long time if you don't know what you are doing 100%. Techs charge up to $90 for this flash for a reason...they know the ins and outs and have a guide that's taken time and patience to make. Like myself. I can flash any Motorola Droid to Cricket in less then 10 minutes. Its taken me hours to get that fast and lots of trail and error.
What part are you having trouble with?

not sure why the other person hasnt answered but I would like some help with the same issue. I can talk and text fine via the PRL change. I can use anything CDMAWS and QPST to edit my phone but after i try using a nvram backup from whiterabbit or whether i try to edit the settings using QPST the phone restarts as normal and u see the data bar going from 1x to 3g and the phone soft resets over and over. ideas? I would like to at least get the net working. from there im sure i could resolve the next issue.

CDMA or QPST should not be causing your phone to reset unless you accidently changed a setting in QPST. Which PRL are you using? Most stable is 49027 for the DX at the moment. Did you have these issues before the flash? Did you buy the phone used and then started the flash process? I hope you didn't get a busted DX

Which is an older PRL. Might even be geo-specific. How are your 3G speeds with the 3200? 49027 is the newest one that I know of.

Ahh, that must be why it works! I am on the $55 plan and my 3G speeds are consistent 1.2Ghz when stupid iJunk users aren’t bogging down AT&T's network. When speed is at it's best, it always beats out my girlfriend’s Droid X 3G speed on Verizon, not by much but enough to say so.
Im using 49027. I've narrowed it down to possible glitch. Upon entering the info for the proxy manually it goes into 1x then 3g then reader loop. Ivebeen using a stock backup to revert to prior tweaking so I can keep trying to figure this out if u have a exact method u use im all ears. Or just ideas. Im running out lol
Also one more thing, ive just entered in the proxy information manually via the cell phone and the phone hasnt given me a boot loop like it used to, still the internet isnt working yet so im going to go into QPST and see if just changing the mobile IP setting throws me into the loop again...EDIT: it sends me into a soft restart loop since its on mob+simp f/back again... catlog didnt show anything that i can see sadly. the soft restart forces the log to stop and doesnt show why it did.switched it back to mobile ip only and stopped the reboot cycle but no data at all ugh...

Just flash it in ROM Manager
I've talked to a couple of folks on the V10 token. Some say it has no relevance and one said it might actually harm your phone since it's not even made for the Droid X specifically. I tried it and it didn’t do anything. It came to be that my MNC in my APN was incorrect.
Without doing a full SBF on your phone, there array of issues you might have are to wide to diagnose. You need to start over and not use your backup. If the problem still persists then let us know but I doubt it will if you did the Cricket flash properly.
Have you changed your APN settings as well? I use anycut from the market to edit and save it.

I've always used it and it does help. It has never broken my X. I don't know why why it doesn't work for you but I've used it on my old ERIS, Droid X, and my wifes DInc.
