Root [Public Mobile] help please

I have a rooted zte n860 on public mobile, and can not tether or create a hotspot

that function is absent on the warp... the sinjitsu rom has usb tether worked into it(still trying to port that over myself)... and for wifi you can use wifi teather for root users available on the market and for usb you can use pdanet... hpe it helps! :)

Actually you can use this unrooted. Go to Google play. Download a launcher like holo launcher. Select short cuts or equivalent. Select activity. Then scroll down to settings and browse through the settings activity. Find the one that says tethering settings. Select that, it will create a shortcut on your home screen for that, open it up and you will see a hidden tetherinf setting menu. USB tethering works, wifi doesn't. Now this works on stock boost mobile warp, this hidden menu should be on yours since its apart of gingerbread and not maker specific

thats only true in the shinjitsu rom... that hidden tether menu only has help as a option... you can also use wifi hotspot shortcut tool in the market for that... used to do it in my old roamer...

I'm running n00b vl right now so I would have to add that new rom? To get a hotspots working

for wifi hotspot it's irrelevant... none of the roms have wifi hotspot integrated... but usb tether easier the way downthemachines was describing... but again that menu is only unlocked on the shinjitsu...

wifi tether for root users.... its on the market:

pdanet 3.5(this one requires client software on your windows pc):
