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

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?

Ok so I just ordered a X from ebay and its on its way. So I started doing a little research on rooting since I want to root it right away. I have done some research in this form but wanted to be sure before I attempted anything. So, is their one solid way to root the phone no matter what version it is? If not what do I need to know for certain OTA versions so I dont brick my phone? Thanks!

Sweet thanks man
Ok so I have revived my phone and rooted it. Its awesome by the way. But I am in the process of setting up WiFi tether. But each time I start it the 3g hotspot comes up in the background. So when I connect my computer and go to any website it shoots me strait to the Verizons page. Even though I have root and am running a different WiFi tether program other then the 3g hotspot that the x comes with. How do I get around this without being charged.
Try using easytether to usb tether instead
I would really like to use some sort of wifi tether. Their should be some sort of work around or fix.

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
Menu>Settings> Change Device-Profile
Change to Droid X
Done

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.

Thanks! Works wonders!
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.
