I've got Bugless Beast installed but the wifi tether app (Wireless tether for root users) does not allow me to tether. I have tried both my NookColor and my laptop and neither see the SSID. I even tried setting up the connection manually on the laptop but it still doesn't see it. I've tried turning the tether off then back on and also rebooting the phone.
I searched the forum and did some google searching and it doesn't look like I need a custom kernel but some older threads seemed to suggest I might. Also the description of the app say I do as well.
Can someone help me get this set up? Where can I find and install a kernel that allows this (Chevy's?)? I am using SPRecovery, not clockwork mod so I can't use ROM Manager to do this (as far as I can tell).
Milestone or Droid? Specify at title so people can help you.

I'm running Ivan's .8t2 and was able to get the wireless tether to work with no problems.
Wired tether is a different issue. I've got the latest HTC Sync loaded which is supposed to have the appropriate driver for XP sp3 I just can't get it to connect or even recognize the "eris network". The app fire up fine on the Eris, but it's like I'm missing some network setup on the XP.
I've done a google search and have not found anything too helpful. Mostly iPhone to Mac stuff.
Thanks in advance.
I've been trying to figure out why its not working. the kernel may need to be patched, and I know the app is supposed to let you know if the kernel is incompatible. I'll look into the kernel issue, but be patient with me as I'm still learning this dev thang!
in the meantime I have been running the KaosLegendary 0.8 rom and use mobile network sharing under wireless and network settings.
Thanks. FYI, there is no such setting I can find with Ivan's ROM.

yeah, you wont find that feature on an Eris based rom, I'm gonna see if I can add it tho.
on any phone, root or not, you could just download the "easy tether" app from the market. does wired tether for free, and is really really easy to set up.
Thanks to both for the help. The easy tether did the trick.
I had a feeling there was something missing from the laptop's side.
My Mom thanks you, too. Now the laptop can be taken to her place so she can Skype with her grand daughter and great grand daughter.
Which app are you all using for tethering? I can't seem to get the wireless one to work, the wired one looks good, but not sure if it works with the HERO. There are two in the market, one is pda net which ive used, but it breaks up every few minutes and there is easy tether, but I haven't used that.
I think all you need is Htc sync installed to use the wired tether. I use the wireless tether just fine, you just have to experiment on which one works best for you. Try the 1.5 wireless tether.. Provided your hero is rooted.

You need HTC Driver installed for wired tether, and you also need the 2.11 PRI from one of the Eris ROMs.
yes, im rooted running fresh toast. Should I still use the one for 1.5?
Unless someone else knows about an update, There is currently issue with wireless tether and fresh toast. Like the ability to enable the wireless tether but the phone will lock up when disabling.
didn't the eris PRI cause problems before?
Only with Sprint NFL and Nascar.
Just finished using Easy Tether and honestly its very easy and fast!
I've used and enjoyed Pdanet but now it "expired" and I can't access any secure sites (like email) and it's really annoying.
Never got Easy Tether to work
I have the "Wired Tether" by the same people who made "Wireless Tether for Root Users" and can't get either to work (running Fresh 2.1.2)
I'm pretty sure I have the HTC Sync drivers on my computer since my system detects it successfully as an adb android phone.
Idk what to do, I'd prefer to get the wired tether for root users to work but even if I could figure out the wireless problem that would be cool too.
I'm using the wifi tether from google on my rooted stock 1.5 android
anyone still have the pri udatezip
Wired tether for root users won't work for us because a special driver needs to be in the kernel I think (at least from what I gather from the faq). Wireless 1.60 works great on zen my touch slide rom overclocked by the way. Those on fresh toast who have problems, try 2.01, it's meant for g1 with a new kernel built from toasts, so ya never know.

I had to format and reinstall windows xp on my computer, it's updated but i can't seem to get my tether to work again (using a g1 with cyanmod 6.1 rc1) i can use pdanet but the wif speed is slower compared to when i tether from the wireless settings option...idk if it's due to my pc not having usb2.0 or if it's something else....i can mount and do everything else but i can't tether....Am i missing something?
Several people having the same issue lately. I've read some reports thinking it's being blocked somehow. U can search for threads about it. Don't know if it's true. I don't use it myself

I went into the tether option and selected help...and it solved all my issues....hope the mods can delete this thread.
Hello ladies and gents. First off, I'd like to apologize for breaking any forum rules as I post this. This is my first post, and I'm a little frustrated.
As the thread topic reads, I'm having trouble getting my moto droid to tether, specifically to my wifi xoom. I have also tried to search for the network on my psp, and it didn't show up there, so I know its not my xoom. Besides that proof, I've successfully connected my xoom to several wifi networks.
I have, obviously, already rooted my droid. I have flashed several roms, including CM6 and CM7, bugless beast, currently running axiom sixty6. I have run sholes, and I have run chevy's kernels, include ULV/LV .8, 1, and 1.1
All of these roms and kernels are great, but I have yet to get my tethering apps to actually tether. I've tried both wireless tether app and barnacle app.
I would REALLY appreciate help at this point. Googling has yielded no results, yet there are several youtube videos showing the motorola droid tethering apps working. Even just letting me know what rom/kernel you're running with successful tethering would help me out.
Thanks in advance!

this is an easy one... you should notice you can tether with any pc /mac /other OS, but not with an iphone/ipad, or android devices. this is because the motorola droid is not capable of true AP mode (access point) wireless tethering, but rather the droid can only do what is called ad-hoc tether [at least to the best of my knowledge]. if you fired up a laptop in the same room, i bet you would see the wireless tether/barnacle wireless, but it would be an adhoc (peer to peer ) wireless network. Sorry.
******** EDIT: news, see my next post below for info how to tether with BT to the xoom! ****
experience: rooted my sister's moto droid. They were able to use the wifi to get internet on her mac computer, and not sure about a PSP but his sony PS3 could not access the motodroid wifi. I personally use an HTC Incredible which allows for AP mode tethering in the recent versions of wireless tether.
apparently there is a way!
i found this guide to setup xoom tethering to the droid via BT!

As some of you may know yesterday i went through he!! getting my Razr M rooted. I did it. The reason for the root was the built in tether on the Droid Razr M doen't work with my Droid tablets both running ICS. So I figured if I root and then get a tether from Google Play then it might work. Problem now is I've downloaded all of them seems like (accept FoxFi it sucks now because it makes you install a screen lock password that can never be removed.) I set these things up start the tether and no device can see them. My laptop, tablet destop all nothing. As if it weren't there. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong if anything. I've used wifi tether on my rooted Droid X and it worked great. Now not so much. There seems to be extra settings like select lan network. The choices are ip addresses. 192.168.1.0/24, 192.168.2.0/24, 192.168.3.0/24, 172.20.21.0/24, 172.20.22.0/24, 172.20.23.0/24, 10.10.1.0/24, 10.10.2.0/24, 10.10.3.0/24 what do they mean? Is this my roadblock? Frustraing as hell. Using 3rd party tethers for rooted devices has always been simple and effective. I used them on my Droid X because the built in version would drop out after 5-15 minutes and I'd have to turn it off and on to get it back. Now I just want to use my tablets. A USB tether would be fine with me if I could find one that worked on my tablet. I used to use PdaNet but it's bundled with FoxFi now. Suggestions?
