do you have s-on or off? No need to unroot if you have s-off

When I rooted my evo I left it stock, it tether the ipad2 it was slow with the market app, sprint hotspot wouldn't work at all so I just flashed MikG v3, in 10 mins it worked great s is on but I don't care. Try installing Mikg.

that might not be fully true. i am running MikG 3.1 with the stock HTC kernel, and wireless tether / hotspot works for me, both through apps and via the built-in hotspot function.

if you're using the app WiFi Tether, there's a checkbox in settings that you have to tick to make it work (Routing Fix). otherwise, devices will connect, but won't fully connect.

also, my battery life has been fantastic the past few days. just slightly over 3 hours of the display being on (using the stock internet browser for 99% of that) with a single charge is about 45 minutes longer than any non-rooted session i've ever had. also, with SetCPU dropping the processor to 245mhz with the screen off, i only lose 1 or 2% of battery overnight.

Hmmm, interesting. I was definitely checking that routing fix box and it still wouldn't work. I spent literally days going over every thing I could think of and in the end did every combination of settings that I could think of. I posted on the devs website and read his FAQs but never got any help from there. I had been meaning to try a new kernel anyways, when i installed freedom I immediately was able to run and use wifi tether. I'm using the less freedom kernel, and am getting phenominal battery life with little trade off in usability. Maybe I was missing something small, or maybe it was just my phone being wonky, it works now so that's all that matters to me.

well have you flashed a rom yet? if not then you are still on stock. also which version of the wifi app have you tried?

 

[SDouble09]

I'm just going to assume that I haven't because I don't know what that is. when I rooted the phone I just followed the instructions I got from a site called XDAforums.net

and the version that I tried for wifi app was at this link here:
http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/files/wifi_tether_v3_1-beta11.apk

there are others. try one of these: Downloads - android-wifi-tether - Wireless Tether for Root Users - Google Project Hosting

So I tried another rooted app on my phone called titanium backup and it did not work. I think there was an issue with my rooting process I even though it says the S off I dont understand though

check the superuser app again and see if it is allowing apps access or not. your hboot 6.16 and s-off is an indication that you have full root. with tb the su app asks for permission really fast when you first open tb up. it is easy to disallow permision for it.

try flashing a different rom and then try to get the tethering app to work. try mikg3.1 and see.

How do I flash a rom? I asked a friend about the ? you asked earlier and he said that the rom that I have is the one the phone came with.

one thing also if you have not already i would also switch to amon ra 2.3 recovery if you have not already done so. the instructions are in the guide as well.

and let us know if you have everything working including tethering as well.
