[Q] Got root but wifi tether troubles me - Droid X General

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.

Verizon 3g HotSpot on fission??

ok i have the droid X and love it <33 but i installed Fission and love it more <3 but i need the 3g hotspot app because i love using it during school for the school computers >:] i need a way to install it i have the team black hat way to install it but it doesnt seem to work even when i mount the System folder i tried it without too What should i do :[?
Verizon 3g Hotspot
I copied the 3g hotspot zip from TBH after downloading and placed it onto my sandisk card root. I then bootstrapped into recovery and installed the 3g hotspot zip and rebooted. Worked for me. do not wipe anything just instal the zip.
TBH 3G Hotspot patcher has to be installed also. I copied it to the sandisk card and installed and rebooted. No need to wipe.
Wait really and you're running fission? I'm pretty sure that blurless roms such as fission and rubix cannot install the 3g hotspot app because it's missing some blur dependencies.

No its not in the market. He's talking about the plain old wireless tether. A lot of people dont understand the difference between a wireless access point, and ad hoc data transfer.
Besides the guy a few posts up, I havent found anyone that can get it to work on non-blur rom.
Good luck, and report back if you to get it to go! I havent tried it yet myself.

Apex is NOT a non-blur rom. It's framework is 2.3.15. Fission/Focused are from the Moto SDK. Please let us know if this works on an actual blurless ROM.
3g Hotspot.
My mistake.
i am really interested in finding a way to get verizons 3g hotspot to work on a blurless rom like fission. i had to sbf back to stock to use it as i really need the infastructure of it versus the ad-hoc you get from wireless tether.if anyone has any luck please post

Same here. I could not live with ad hoc.

Fission version from TBH. you still need to patch it on ur own. Use the TBH app to get the patch. File is courtesy of DroidForums dot net that they fished from TBH anyway.
Fission signed 3G hotspot apk. Angdroid posted it on droid forums. http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...vanilla-2-1-11-13-2010-generic-android-4.html

Worked fine!
Update (about 3 days late)
After flashing my GPAD to Vegan, I did get ad-hoc to work through the tether app installed on the continuum (for the newbies like myself: Android has adhoc connecting disabled by default, so you have to use -- from what I can tell -- a custom ROM to connect to an adhoc wireless connection).
The Continuum only needed to be rooted so tethering could be installed.
Trying to root my Continuum. Tried the one click but it just locked up my phone. Pulled battery, do I do it again?
I'm totally new on the androids.

I bought my Continuum yesterday, the 22nd. An update was immediately applied. Spent hours trying to root. Z4root (my go-to) wouldn't work after countless attempts. Gave up on an update.zip recovery. SUPERONECLICK is exactly how I was finally able to root...

anyone get wifi tether to work with froyo update?
ive been using wireless tether 3.0 beta without a problem just select sasmsung fascinate then enable softap mode.
works thanks
I'm currently using Open Garden. It seems to be working great so far. I actually paid for the full version of EasyTether, and there's problems with the Continuum and EasyTether. Evidentially, USB debugging times out after a while. It's no biggie though, for me, because using a wifi tether app is so much simpler.
The new beta from Google works the best because you can enable softap mode so linux and playstations will pick it up. Open garden, barnacle, the wireless tether from the market just use adhoc frequincies so not everything will pick it up.

Ahh... I was not aware of that. Thanks for that info!
The Google beta app works, but my primary problem with it is the fact that it turns off BT every time I tether. I'll be using Open Garden until a newer version is released that doesn't affect my BT connection.

Issues with Wireless Tether

I am running MikShift with 1.8 kernal with Cyan Dragon Theme.
The wireless tether works just fine with the 4g, but it doesn't work with the 3g, are there any threads or a fix or anything info on this?
I'm also having problems with this. I have thread a few post down but unfortunately we haven't found a solution.
Sent from my Evolution
The only problem I'm having is that devices connected to my phone via Wireless Tether get a LOT LESS speed than my phone will. Full 4G signal on my phone ~5Megs while a connected device will be pulling about 500K.

The 4G works just fine for me, I just can't get the 3G to work.
I'm having this exact same problem. I haven't been able to figurre anything out either. One this I've noticed is that if I switch to a different app, the tether will stop working until I go back to the wireless tether app itself and then the data will start to flow again.

Well it looks like newkidd might of found out the tether issue..../system/bi/sh is symlinked to bash....
he is working on a fix...but i was helping test and can say fixing the symlink and tether worked perfectly....on 3g...although i know i didn't do this fix Friday when we toyed with it so who knows what the deal was....
The hack apparently takes a lot of work to change from EVO to ours....not sure what dev is going to be able to port it....

Guys, I submitted an issue on their google code page, feel free to go comment and knock this thing up to a hot issue so they will look into it. lol
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=878
OK I'm glad to see others are having this issue.
Prior to yesterday, I was only able to tether on 4G using Wired Tether OR Wireless Tether. As of yesterday, I can no longer tether AT ALL.
I've tried flashing back to the completely stock ROM (only had root mod) that preludedrew posted and I'm still experiencing this issue. The only other thing I could possibly do is RUU and then re-root.
Has anyone found a solution to this? Is this a sprint issue or individual phone? Are some people not affected at all? I have been using the stock ROM, rooted and with bcnice's 1.8 GHz kernel since root.
I use my phone as my primary internet so this is a HUGE detriment for me and also a GARGANTUAN downside for the phone. I'm wondering if Sprint is finding a way to outsmart us...
EDIT: Azilink appears to still be working fine for tethering. Although it does take a bit more of a setup and some familiarity (marginal) with adb, it also typically performs much better as well. Brandock made a post about it in the apps forum, a search should pull it up fairly quickly.
Well with stock root wireless tether wasw working fine once I switched roms it stopped working so you do the math

Guess I wasted my whole day yesterday trying to figure this crap out =(
This is an issue with the ROMs not the app or anything. The symlin for /system/bin/sh is wrong....thats why when you go into terminal you see sh3.2 if you remove it and make a new symlink wireless tether will work....i can post the commands I was given that worked fine but I make no guarantees it will work or that it wont do something bad to your phone but I will give you the commands I used.
using terminal and your /system will have to be r/w
rm /system/bin/sh
ln -s /system/bin/sh0 /system/bin/sh

Rooted Gingerbread wireless tether problem

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.

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

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.

[Q] Tethering with Droid X on 2.3 Gingerbread

Hello
I have a Droid X on 2.3 It's rooted and everything and recently I tried tethering. Every time I connect to my phone with my iPad it sends me to Verizon's page to subscribe to tethering plan. I was using Wireless Tether..but that stopped working..so now I'm using Barnacle Wifi Tether. That was working great until I updated to 2.3 I saw in the market WIFI Tethering but that wouldn't even download. Anyway for me to tether without verizon sending me to the subscribe to a tethering plan page?
Thank you

I am very curious now, because I am still on Froyo, and I just checked and my DroidX does indeed have the DataManager .apk and the database files! (by the way, the database has 50,000 records!) Does this mean that big red is also tracking tethering on Froyo??? The reason I kept refusing to switch to GB is because of that issue. Hmm..
Tried the patch above twice
Back to the drawing board I guess... I'm not really sure how to figure out this adhoc thing... With the beta app above, open garden, and barnacle I can see the SSID but it will not connect, and when I'm on my Xoom it says adhoc not supported. But the thing is, I could tether before, and I could connect with the xoom; before I installed MIUI 1.10.7 android version 2.3.5 gb
Before I flashed this rom I never heard of this adhoc... I am reading that there may be no fix for this right now, is that correct???
The link above installed okay, but when I go to open the app it installs I get a force close =/

Check your permissions on root explorer.
And example is
Use root explorer
Go too app data
Click on wifi tether
Check to make sure under owner execute is checked.
make sure if you got the wugfresh patch you select droid x under profile in settings. Common mistake.
Also with a custom rom you may want to go back to stock and try the wugfresh process again. I can assure you it works on a droid x. I've done it many times not with a custom rom though.
