make sure it asks for super user permission

i installed it, opened it it asks if i wanna donate. i hit close on that screen. and then just sits at the press to start tethering

Press "to start tethering" (the green icon in the middle). You will then be asked to provide superuser permission for that action. You will also be asked to provide permission when you are turning the tethering off.

i hit to start, it says unable to start tethering

Open your super user app, what does it say in it?

Dont forget to enable debugging!

 

[jpshotya]

ok maybe im missing something then.. super users app? and debugging is on

Having root is a two part equation. First is establishing root (sounds like you have done). Second is installing a ROM that allows you to take advantage of root. Here is a link to the stock ROM with Super User access:

[ROM] Stock RUU 1.32.651.1 | Update.zip Format - xda-developers

Note: this is just a stock ROM with Superuser access. You can get other ROMs that can customize your phone to fit your individual taste.

aaaa ok i got it, so i rooted the phone but i still need to put a rom on there to take advantage of the root

 

[jpshotya]

ok i did what you said, now my phone is in a boot loop

 

[varunb007]

sometimes it helps if you wipe data/cache then reflash rom to get out of boot loop

its all working now, wifi tether works , root works. thanks to everyone sticking with me during this mess lol

Well, since he got help I was wondering if you guys can help me! I dont get any errors, but when I connect to my wireless tether and try to browse, nothing happens. Like I load espn and my UP counter goes up little by little like data is being transfered but nothing happens on the other side. Im trying to use an iPad to connect.

well, did you uninstall the version you have and install the one he posted? mine was doing the same thing till that.

I'm having connection problems as well. I'm running DC and have superuser permissions and it won't tether. I also installed the apk that was posted but it doesn't work for me. Any suggestions?

If anybody gets the message "Unable to start tethering. Please try again!" Do this:

Open the Wireless Tether app.

Press the menu button on the phone

Press Setup

Press the menu button on the phone again

PRess (Re)-Install binaries/configs

Wifi Tether now works.


Come on now! Hit that thanks button! This is good sh*t!

 

[mattpsx2]

You sir, are the man.

 

[jhat3k1]

my only problem is the speed that I get while tethering. I can be getting 1.7 on my phone using 3G, and cant break 250k while tethering. I have re-installed, rebooted, and tried everything. this happens at all times in all locations. it's so useless that I would gladly pay the extra $30 if I could get the htc app to install because that gives almost 1to1 speeds while tethering.






update:

I stand corrected, I am getting the exct same speed when tethering now....must have been fixed in one of the previous nightlies. sswwweeeeetttt

I have rooted my phone with unrevoked and I downloaded the wireless tether app. I can get into it and I have superuser access, however nothing can connect to it. Is there a walkthrough that shows me how to set up devices that can connect to it? When I go to the Connected/Authorized Clients screen, never shows anything. HELP!!!

Section 5 of the "Rooting for Dummies" thread addresses this.

You might try downloading this version of it.
wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre11.apk - android-wifi-tether - Wireless Tether for Root Users 2.0.5-pre11 *** EXPERIMENTAL *** - Project Hosting on Google Code

Tried this multiple times and we're getting the same message. Any other suggestions? We've had good connections recently and this is the first time we've had this message pop up.
