Has anyone, (thinking others who've been shutdown by AT&T), tried tethering their Streak to a phone using PdaNet, or something similar?
A friend tried with his Streak and BB (using PdaNet), but didn't have much success.
Thanks,
AG

i use barnacle to connect with ipad.root necessary.
i have a US streak and im having issues getting it to tether to my HTC Aria (using wireless tether). Ive tried the original rom, the O2 1.6 and 2.1 rom. But still no luck, my laptop, and 2 friends ipods will connect through the aria, but the streak doesnt even see it.. So not sure whats going on!
I have a Sprint EVO 4G that can serve as a hot spot but haven't tried it with my Streak yet. But I plan to. I bought the Streak without activating the AT&T part. Don't need two cell phones.
Thanks all.. I know the Archos 5 (which I believe also runs 1.6) advertises the cell phone tethering capability. Anyone know what software it uses? I don't know much about that specific sofwtare, but will start researching...
Yeah Barnacle works.

the archos 5 will not tether if u are using adhoc. found out the hard way... (long time ago before the streak came out i thought i could use that and tether with my iphone and it didint work.. apparantally it doensnt support adhoc wifi. but bluetooth tethering worked fine on the archos 5
Maybe someone can get this to work?
Tried to connect to to my WM Omnia via WMWiFiRouter- No Dice.
tried using wpa_supplicant file attched below- i can see and connect to ad hoc network(s), but can not establish IP --> copied to /system/bin
the apk and files below look more promising but perhaps need editing by someone who actually knows what they are doing. the app installs and runs but there is a location mismatch.
then ran across this info here: http://www.slatedroid.com/pandigital-novel-android-tablet-discussion/4505-i-have-infrastructure-adhoc-working-same-time-do-you-want-look-here.html
"Okay, I'm not taking 100% credit for this because all I did was modify the work that this user did:
'Originally Posted by YasinSiddiqui
NOTE: I'm using Rogerbraun Custom ROM 5.1 on Rockchip APAD, but I don't see any reason why this shouldn't work on the PDN too.
Hi Guys,
Finally figured this out.
Since the wpa_supplicant.conf file is read-only, an Android app can't modify the file. Hence, we were having to go back to connecting the APAD to the PC and use DroidExplorer to overwrite the wpa_supplicant file everytime we wanted to enable Adhoc Wifi.
I realized that when you upload a file to the APAD using DroidExplorer, it gets write permissions
And once you have the file with write permissions, an app CAN modify the file.
So, I've created a small app for easy switching between Normal and Ad-hoc wifi modes.
Here are the steps:
1. Step removed because the files were replaced (see below!)
2. Use DroidEXplorer to copy the 3 files: wpa_supplicant.conf, wpa_supplicant.conf.adhoc and wpa_supplicant.conf.normal to /data/misc/wifi folder
3. Install AdhocAble.apk using any File Manager or even DroidExplorer
Now, start up adhoc wifi tethering on your phone (Barnacle Wifi Legacy on Android, JoikuSpot on Symbian, WMWifirouter on Windows Mobile, MyWi on IPhone etc.) and set the adhoc SSID to: adhocable with NO password.
Remember that you have to Turn wifi off and on everytime you switch modes.
For experts: How the app buttons work:
1. Switch to Ad-hoc Wifi Mode: Overwrite wpa_supplicant.conf with wpa_supplicant.conf.adhoc
So if you want to change the adhoc SSID or give it a password, edit the wpa_supplicant.conf.adhoc before copying it via Droidexplorer
2. Switch to Normal Wifi Mode: Overwrite wpa_supplicant.conf with wpa_supplicant.conf.normal
3. Backup Normal Settings: Overwrite wpa_supplicant.conf.normal with wpa_supplicant.conf
This allows you to avoid having to type the normal wifi passwords every time. But, remember not to use this button when you are in ad-hoc mode, otherwise you'll lose all your saved wifi passwords.
4. Do let us know: opens up an email compose window so that you can tell me whether you like the app or not. Do write your name, country and details of which devices and ROMs you have.
My modifications to these instructions are as follows:
Instead of the supplicant files supplied by the user above use mine
Also feel free to open "wpa_supplicant.conf.adhoc" and change the SSID to whatever you want, i.e. I called mine "AndroidTether"
Also I didn't bother with any security because I'm just using the access control feature on my tethering program, I'm not sure if they all have this feature but basically, my phone tells me when someone is trying to connect and asks if I want to allow the connection before the device is assigned an IP.
1. download: "wpa_supplicant_files_WORKING.zip and unzip
1.1 Open "wpa_supplicant.conf.adhoc" and edit SSID to whatever you want
2. place "wpa_supplicant.conf" , wpa_supplicant.conf.adhoc & wpa_supplicant.conf.normal into the sdk's "tool" folder (where adb.exe is)
3. download "AdhocAble_apk.zip" and unzip
4. Place "AdhocAble.apk" into the sdk's "tool" folder (where adb.exe is)
5. Open the command prompt and get to the folder where your adb.exe iscd c:/where_your_sdk_is/tools
6. enter: " adb push wpa_supplicant.conf /data/misc/wifi "
7. enter: " adb push wpa_supplicant.conf.adhoc /data/misc/wifi "
8. enter: enter: " adb push wpa_supplicant.conf.normal /data/misc/wifi "
9. check to see the files are there by entering " adb shell ls /data/misc/wifi "
10. install the apk, you can use my batch file to do this if you'd like here
11. unzip the file manager batch script and place it in the sdk's "tools" folder (where adb.exe is)
12. open the batch file (it should open a new cmd window)
13. select 2
14. select 1 (install an app)
15. it'll ask for the name of the apk. Enter " AdhocAble.apk " exactly, its case sensitive.
16. reboot the PDN
17. Start your cell phone tether and set the SSID to whatever you set in the .conf.adhoc file at the begining
18. Open up the AdhocAble app and select "backup your normal settings", this should save all of the remembered infrastructure network's SSIDs and passphrases
18.1 select Enable Adhoc, it will prompt you to make sure to turn your wifi connection off and back on.
19. Do so.
20. You should see your cell phone's SSID in the connection list (remember the SSID is hardcoded into the .conf.adhoc file so you have to set it to the same thing in the tether program or vice-versa.
21. If you don't see the tether connection enter it manually
To get back to infrastructure - simply open the app and select enable normal mode and turn the wifi off then back on again - after a short bit you should see the networks as usual. It might take a bit longer to obtain an IP, but it should work...if not reboot the PDN and try it again.
Another success - Flytouch2 / Eclair
What an adventure... I tried lots of different approaches to getting my 10" Flytouch2 running Eclair to my Moto Cliq the instructions in this thread formed a good basis for success. I had to make a few changes which I will describe.
First, I am using a rooted Moto Cliq (1.5 I think) running Barnacle to serve up Ad Hoc Wi-Fi. It worked great with my PC and iPad but I really wanted my Flytouch2 to have network access through the Cliq.
So far I have not yet been able to get the Flytouch2 to connect to my PC using ADB; this is a problem for another day. As such I was side loading until I realized that I could place APK's in Dropbox (great free app) and net-load?? them. I also had to get creative with Root Explorer and other file managers / editors to make the required changes
To accomplish this I did the following on my Flytouch2 (less the stuff that didn't work including a couple of bricking episodes)
- Rooted (permanent) painlessly using Z4Root
- Installed Root Explorer (essential for copying and renaming R/O system files)
- Installed TED to edit files
- Install ASTRO File Manager which is helpful for non root file manipulation activities
- Used Root Explorer to mark the /data/misc/wifi directory as R/W so files could be added/modified (the default is RO)
- Installed AdhocAble.apk which is nice but it turns out not really needed in my case
- Disabled Wi-Fi until done
- Installed the wpa_supplicant.conf.adhoc (after editing - attached and below)
- Renamed old wpa_supplicant.conf file as wpa_supplicant.conf.normal)
- Replaced wpa_supplicant.conf using wpa_supplicant.conf.adhoc (basically leaving backups of each in the directory)
After doing this and enabling Wi-Fi I was able to see and connect to my Cliq running Barnacle. I am also able to connect to my standard Access Point as well without any configuration change. The only issue is that I am not running any security but I think this is not a difficult update to the .conf file. I may add a second network SSID entry with a PSK and use "Wireless Tether" on my Cliq to test. For now I am just happy to connect and Barnacle allows me to screen and block all connection requests. The primary deviation from the great instructions earlier in this thread that got me up and running was the content of the wpa_supplicant.conf file. I used part of my original file and part of the file .adhoc file from earlier in this thread.
ctrl_interface=DIR=/data/system/wpa_supplicant GROUP=system
update_config=1
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=2
network={
ssid="JJJ"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=NONE
mode=1
priority=1
}
Obviously my SSID is set to JJJ (I like J's). I got my inspiration from a file I found buried in my Android file system (attached as ...notes.txt). It is not very interesting reading but it provides lots of clues and it explains the meanings of all the parameters.
So, Ad Hoc connection is possible possible on A Flytouch2 under Eclair.
Now, my rant... it is unconscionable that this is not supported natively in Android. I would speculate that this was a conscious decision by Google resulting from pressure from the big carriers. What I don't understand is how this capability is available in the iPad!? Apple would certainly bow to external pressure (witness the iPhone) from carrier relationships. They also come with $40/mo built in service... so go figure. Now I am delighted to use both my Android Tablet and my iPad with Ad Hoc WiFi served up from my Cliq on T-Mobile!
I hope my additional notes help someone else.
Im gonna have to look at this tomorrow and see if i can finally connect to my omnia 2 running wmwifirouter

as a client? or you can create a network using your 3g->WiFi hotspot
I had/have bricked my X10 Mini Pro
I followed the instructions here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=743800
and after receiving NO errors and thinking everything was finished unmounted from the host machine and unmounted the sd card and re-booted the phone
Sadly it all went tits-up.
It booted into the locked screen and the reolution was way lower than before
The GUI was gone leaving only the activity/notification bar - the rest of the touchscreen was a fetching blue, with no applications, no corners, no nuffink.
Somewhere in this forum was a tip to start PCC and hold down the back and home keys, tap the power button and when the screen goes black connect the phone to the PC.
This gave me back a GUI but I have lost some Apps and more importantly it has booted into airline mode and no amount of turning 'Airline Mode' on/off with the power button will get rid of the airplane icon in the notification bar. So I can't get into my phone carrier nor any wireless networks.
So a few questions before I start again
Build.Prop file
changing numbers to have an unbranded phone for Australia ?
- is it just a matter of opening the file with gedit and changing the string with something from the list for Australia then saving or need I also change locale to AU ?
ok assuming that I only cut 'n' paste the 1234-1234, or whatever the number is I need to use to allow SEUS to update the phone for me, into the build.prop file then save it to copy from the SD card into the phone's system directory
( ./busybox cp /sdcard/build.prop /system/ )
I think that command roughly translates to " run busybox to copy the build.prop file on the card into the system sub-directory of the phone"
doesn't it ?
so, to continue this example,
I am in Australia,
I have a phone that used U20a firmware from this line
U20a WORLD-1-2-5 CDF1238-2298 1239-2226 3 AU/Black
I would cut the 1239-2226 and paste it into line #3 of the UK generic .prop file
ro.product.name=U20i_1238-0199
or do I change the line to read ro.product.name=U20a_1239-2226
or am I barking at the wrong tree ?
and
#68 ro.product.locale.region=GB
should that now read
"ro.product.locale.region=AU"?
hey mate hope this helps:
backup your build.prop first
open build.prop and replace the 1234-1234 values with the values directly after CDF, in this case 1238-2298.
do the following:
adb push build.prop /sdcard/build.prop
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system
busybox cp /sdcard/build.prop /system/build.prop
exit
Now run update service.
it will ask you to connect your phone to the system. You will need to turn your phone off, hold the back button and connect the usb then after that just follow the prompts.
goodluck
Am I editing lines
#3 ro.product.name=U20a_1238-2298
AND
#8 ro.build.fingerprint=SEMC/U20a_1238-2298/SonyEricssonU20a/delta:1.6/1.1.A.0.8/1:user/release-keys
===
backup your build.prop first
===
I assume this is
./busybox cp /system/build.prop /sdcard/
Boo hoo hoo
That didn't work, having rooted the phone (I assume that when I connect it to my PC run CMD.exe and in the terminal run 'adb shell' then su the SuperUser application opens up in the phone to allow/deny is an indication that I have root)
I have edited the generic UK build.prop file to change it to an Australian Vodafone build.prop file ---I think ---
Exited out of the adb shell, exited out of the command line interface
unmounted the phone from the host machine
unmounted the client - the phone
shut down the phone
removed the battery for at least 5 seconds
during which time I completely removed all traces of SEUS using a Windows application called CCleaner
and reinstalled
opened the Update Programme
put the battery back in the SE phone
held onto the Back Button as if my life depended on it
connected the phone to the PC
SEUS says ..........
wait for it ..............
No new software available, try again later
I may well be the last Australian X10 mini pro owner running Android 1.6 and am getting pretty frickin' sick of being told by Sony that there's nothing new for me
i had the optus firmware but since i live in china now i have been using the chinese firmware. do system restore and see how that goes, otherwise get the optus system installed and update it...but as far as i know everybody should be upgraded to 2.1 by now...
Also all you have to do is just edit the build.prop and restore the original firmware through pc companion... and then try to get the 2.1 update hope that works mate

There isn't a 'repair' option any more with SEUS
and I keep getting the "No new software for your phone" message when attempting to repair using PCC
I'm guessing that I need to edit something else because I have some sort of a VFE file system version
Can I edit the firmware version in the build.prop file to something else
- then ask PCC to repair ?
Hmm
I just did the HBBHBHHB shuffle and see that in the software info section there appears to be an inconsistency
there is a different identifying strings of numbers for
- Phone software version
- S1 Boot Version
- ETS Sofware Version (whatever that is !!)
- Customization Version
I give up
I have edited the build.prop file with quite a few CDF numbers
re-booted
connected to SEUS
only to be told
"there is no new software for your phone"
I am starting to think that there will never be any 2.1 juiciness
I've tried Telstra AU, I've tried 3 Au, and Vodfone
- nothing and am now at my wit's end
And it's not as if this forum is bubbling over with suggestions as to the reason why a rooted phone can't have different firmware installed so it may have an OS upgrade

well, there's a problem with that
The only 'repairing' is done with PC Companion
I have un-installed/re-installed that POS about 4 times and now it's throwing
"Unable to install or start phone software update components" at me
I decided to just dump the generic UK U20i build.prop file into the system directory and overwrote whatever I had there (the older one was saved as build.prop.bak)
This still didn't get me any software updates from SEUS - if that's what Sony is calling the next Operating System.
So apart from copying and pasting the whole build.prop file I want to use and asking what EXACTLY needs to be changed.
I have a question or two
-- "VFE-1-8 1.1.A.0.8" how can I get it changed to 'World 1-2-5 ?
-- and no matter what I do to the customisation version using an edit or two of /system/build.prop the software version stays the same and this is why I think I keep getting a "No New Software For Your Phone - try again later" from both SEUS and PCC
and the Model Info always reports U20a
as always any help or suggestions will be gratefully received

There was no need to install and reinstall PCC, you could have simply deleted the directory containing downloaded firmware, so that it will download the correct one.
You are doing lots of unnecessary things, and the way you do it takes you nowhere, since instead of simply following the guide which has been posted and tested by practically everyone on this board you start fiddling with wrong parts of the system.
My sincere advise to you is spend 10 euros and get it reflashed by these guys http://www1.davinciteam.com/index.html
Good luck.

Now you tell me !
I know what I have been doing is futile and wasting my time.
But the guide is NOT simple for some of us less-talented people.
It doesn't say whether to replace all instances of the xxxx-xxx number in the build.prop file or only one,
I'm still not clear where there is a mention of CDFxxxx-xxx yyyy-yyyy whether I should use xxxx-xxxx or yyyy-yyyy in editing the properties file
Also the phone is a u20a phone, the UK Generic file is for u20i devices, and the guide doesn't make any distinction between the different hardwares - and they are different
In which directory does PCC keep the downloaded firmware that I am to delete?
'Dashboard' 'Drivers' 'Languages' or 'Skin' are the choices of directories, the rest of the C:/Program Files/Sony Ericsson/Sony Ericsson PC Companion/ folder are individual files - dlls exes etc etc
So to start again
I am about to upload (via the CLI in Windows) so
one last question (which is really the first question)
which line do I change in the build.prop file
- I am now assuming from the tone and content from #vlissine that I am changing too much so it's one line with one new number
and is it the string of numbers attached to the alphabetic CDF or those immediately following the CDF alphanumeric string in the u20a listing?
This is sort of the firmware I'm after
U20a WORLD-1-2-5 CDF1239-5023 1238-9150 Telstra AU/Black
which is to ask - do I use "1239-5023" or "1238-9150"
B.T.W.
if the phone has 1.1.A.0.8 firmware
and the build.prop file has 1.2.A.1.174
doesn't that create some sort of 'inconvenience' for me ?
Hi,
I own a toshiba ac100-10d which is the model with only wifi (no 3g) and android 2.1, which unfortunately comes with no android market preinstalled. I tried to install one using one of the many packages which you can found online. The problem comes, when I try to login in my gmail account. It says "can't extablish a reliable data connection" and it doesn't login into the account. If I try to login via youtube it creates the account but it doesn't sync it. I have moderate experience with android so you can easily tell me what I have to do. Do you think it would be possible to install the market on this ac100?
Thanks to anyone who will help me!

It would be possible if I can get him into recovery menu. Just working on it as if it could still do that I have uploaded some files to the inside. Root can be done by z4Root 1.3.0.apk. Can be downloaded here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834428
I've made some headway
I have installed some files from cyanogenmods tegra compiled gapps + a newer vending.apk(Market) and a diffrent Google Talk app.
I had the same problem you have, but this suddently resolved itself for reasons unknown
Gmail Works and syncs
Google Maps works
Market starts and is stable without forced close, but I can't download apps, and I get Google Talk Authentication errors wich I belive are related to the market issue (the error also appears without the talk.apk installed)
I've got a new talk.apk from a samsung galaxy s, but it will not complete the sign in process
I feel I am really close to cracking this one, but I'm really stuck.
If anyone is interested, I can post which apk files I've installed in the /system/app folder.
Oh, I forgot to say:
I've got the same 10d version without 3g, but mine runs the updated Android 2.2
So it appears that sometimes market init it works, sometimes not ... Strange
I played and did many factory resets to find the right way and now it works (triple checked!)
I have a ac100-114 (French, no 3g), with android 2.2 and rooted with z4root.
(For anyone playing with adb : before doing anything, make backups with the tegra tools, and be careful with this powerful tool!)
I also used a package from cyanogenmod : the gApps from tegra. (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Gapps#Google_Apps)
I looked into gAppsInstaller (here:
http://code.google.com/p/archos-apps-installer/downloads/list and here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=867303) to find what are the mandatory apps to install from the gApps cm package:
Into /system/app/
GenieWidget
GoogleBackupTransport
GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter
GoogleContactsSyncAdapter
GoogleFeedback
GoogleServicesFramework
MarketUpdater
MediaUploader
NetworkLocation
Talk
Vending
Youtube *
Into /system/framework/
com.google.android.maps.jar
Into /system/lib/
libspeech.so
libvoicesearch.so
Into /system/etc/permissions/
features.xml
com.google.android.maps.xml
* I had to replace Youtube.apk (in attachment) : I don't know why, but the one from cm is not working and prevent, even without launching it, the login into the market. I retrieved it from my hd2 running android ;-)
Installing maps in /system/app prevents Market initialization.
Then I did a factory reset, followed by the Toshiba first init and wifi configuration.
Now start the Market : nothing else or you might have to factory reset to start over!
Enter a random username (very important!), a random password and click next.
The market should start checking and then tell you the login is wrong : good, it connected !
Now click back, then enter your google account and click next : the Market should accept it and show the license page.
Accept it, the market should appear a few seconds before foreclosing. Launch it again, it will forceclose again.
The third launch should be the right one !
You will get forcecloses right after each app installation, but nothing to worry about : the app stays and appears in the download section of the market
Gmail can be installed from the market.
Your contacts should be synchronized, Talk and Youtube should work.
Problems:
For maps you will have to get the apk somewhere else.
The calendar is missing.
@tharf
Your method works perfectly .. Thx for that. Only problem is that the service framework starts some kind of messaging service and that wakes the ac100 from standby every couple minutes.... I tried fixing that but couldn´t do it... ;0(
So this fix is kind auseless for me...
But keep up the good work... ;0)
FC reason is a
Code:
E/DatabaseUtils( 1547): java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: writing com.google.android.gsf.settings.GoogleSettingsProvider uri content://com.google.settings/partner from pid=10019, uid=10069 requires com.google.android.providers.settings.permission.WRITE_GSETTINGS
for com.android.vending.
Does anyone has an idea how to fix android permissions, as it recreates /data/system/packages.xml if i change it?
Thanks for pointing out where is the FC cause !
I did some more tests, and it seems that if the packages.xml gets modified, followed by sync (just in case, I don't know anything about caching on the ac100), and then a kill -9 -1 is executed, the added permission stays, even if the packages.xml gets scrambled after reboot
For me it works : no more FCs
I found another thing : in order to see apps in the market that asks for the gps (maps, catch notes ...), just had this line to /system/etc/permissions/android.hardware.location.xml, in the <permissions> tag :
<feature name="android.hardware.location.gps" />
(Make a backup of the file first )
So the bottom part of the file should look like :
<permissions>
<feature name="android.hardware.location" />
<feature name="android.hardware.location.network" />
<feature name="android.hardware.location.gps" />
</permissions>
But in order to get it working, you will need to login to the market for the first time, so a factory reset is required
hey, sorry for the dumb question..
i´ve downloade z4root and clicked on temporarly root...after a few
secs the progress ran through and the ac100 rebooted.
now i tried to install the gAppsInstaller v5 for arcors but got the error message, that no files were copied.
how did you do this?
can you please poste a howto for dummies q.q?
you wrote"
Then I did a factory reset, followed by the Toshiba first init and wifi configuration.
Now start the Market : nothing else or you might have to factory reset to start over!"
didnt you install the googlemarket after the reset, did it remain :O?
thanks
Hi,
Good job at first for trying this amazing way to install gapps into Ac100.
In my experience, that method worked well, but it seems, after pushing the mandatory apk files to the system partition, and factory resetting, in the Toshiba device initiation settings, turning on wifi will keep the Google account settings connection from working.
I've been trying many times, only turning on wifi when google login process begins will work.
No idea why that happens.
Regards.
hey gus,

Hi Guys
I can confirm that google market is possible on AC100. Also Gmail, Talk and Maps is working fine :
Can anyone please post a guide to get gApps working? (Gmail / Vending) Maps works standalone, but as far as i can see, the others need something!
Like a user above, i can't root my ac-100, it freezes and restart. If it's not rooted, i can't access the folders tharf was talking about in a previous post.
Thanks
Ok, i've managed to solve somethings (hopefully everything)
Unfortunately to root my AC100, i used ADB (I installed SuperOneClick in a previous try, don't know if it helped or not).
ADB is a tool developed inside Android project, that allows developers to test their apps directly on their phones, rather than an emulator. There are plenty of tutorial to get it started, just google it! It's not easy at first, but was the only thing allowed me to copy the files.
For those familiar with this development tool, just plug the device (ac100) in and execute
"adb remount"
in a "cmd" shell (i worked under windows). it magically remounts your system partition in RW, instead of default RO. This way you can "adb push" the files tharf listed in his first post!
Next, follow his indications:
-factory reset (HOME button+POWER button), follow the system reset, press 1 to continue, wait a few minutes and it will reboot on his own, give it time.
-configure ac100, like the first time
-connect it to wifi
-open Market App (you'll find it on the Toshiba Home menu, in the end)
-connect with random user, let it fail the authentication, the use a real one, and you're good to go!
I installed a few apps, so far so good. Only thing to keep in mind: Market launches an error after installing an app. No worries, it's fine: just press OK and go on.
I was interested in Gmail app, so i "adb push"ed it from the beginning, and it worked at first try. Same for Talk, Contacts, Youtube and Maps (find the apk, it's not hard )
Thanks to all, hope this could help.
Toshiba AC100
I've afforded this laptop two days and so far where i updated and hadded
the portuguese language, but when i when in settings->language it simples does not exist.
I dont have anything against english, but i need at least the ortography.
I could use spannish but i rather have english
Every time I run market/gtalk,I get this Message:
"Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server. If it continues, call Customer Care."
Thnx a lot - got Market, Gmail, Maps, ... working too. Have only tested it for some minutes - but hope it will work forever
Very good especially as the Toshiba AC100 10V with UMTS is now really cheap here.
Still have the Market problem with crash after install/deinstall of an app.
Anyone tried the newer GoogleApps for Tegra from here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=912633
I tried to get rid of the market crash. So I did the following:
adb shell connect to /data/system after root
chmod 777 packages.xml
sync
kill -9 -1
But that didn't work I still get the crashes. Can you help me with more details what you mean with 'the added permission stays'?
Thanx in advance.
Firmware from the Russian community users of the AC100 Toshiba (android 2.2) All Google applications work fine(Market+Gmail+Tack)!
Different from the standard:
1. Root
2. Busybox 1.19
3. Google Apps, including the latest market (by 116(Toshiba AC 100-116- russian 3G+Wi-Fi+32Gb model) runs without any problems), SetupWizard works too
4. Jorte - perfect replacement calendar from Google, beautiful, seeing all the calendars
5. Ad Blocking
6. Titanium Backup
7. Terminal Emulator
8. New splash screen
9. Spare Parts
10. Easy selection of widgets
Installation in Windows:
1. Download the firmware
2. Unpack
3. Translating the device in boot mode (turn off, esc + control + power)
4. Install the driver from the archive
5. Run bat file from the archive (ac100flash.cmd)
6. We are waiting for the end of the loading and turning off the device while holding the button 10 seconds
7. Turn device, answer all the questions for 116 checking in via 3G.
8. Enjoy.

Does anyone know how to stop the Auto-Run prompt to install drivers whenever you connect a Rezound to a PC? I've already attempted to install the drivers several times. The first time, after installing, the app said I needed to subscribe to additional VZW services, which I declined. But, I was still prompted again. Every subsequent time I allowed the install to run, the installer would hang at some point.
Down load HTC SYNC from the net to your pc and install it on your pc. After installation, uninstall HTC SYNC from the pc. The drivers will be left behind and your pc will stop asking.

I have HTC Sync on my computer now, and I use it. Won't removing it prevent me from sync'ing Outlook with my Rezound?
It is that Verizon virtual drive that pops up in addition to the HTC Storage drive (Internal phone "SD" memory) and the SD Card (External SD Card memory.)
Most every custom ROM around here deletes that thing as part of eliminating Verizon's bloatware; I would suggest deleting the files inside the virtual drive and see if that helps prevent any Autorun of the files. There is probably a tool or guide around here for removing that on the stock ROM.
Edit: Nevermind this technique, as OP said it is a disc image and files cannot be deleted as such.
Go in and rename cdrom.iso I believe it is to .bak, the problem will stop.
There are posts about it, I did it so long ago, one of the first things I did when we got root.

Because it's setup like a CD-ROM, you cannot simply delete the files, nor can you rename or edit them. I would've simple renamed or edited the Autorun.inf had it been that simple.
Where might one find that .ISO you referred to? I tried looking at the internal and external "storage" spots, but to no avail. This stuff is so irritating; if I don't dismiss that window every time, my CPU on my PC goes into overdrive, kind of like when you leave a dialog box open without answering it.

The file is located at \system\etc\cdrom.iso from root; you can't access that normally so you will need to be rooted in order to delete it manually. There was a bloatware tool that used a temp root exploit on the original firmware of the phone, but the OTA update broke that temp root method. Since the OTA, you must unlock the bootloader to obtain root access.
Assuming you may not want to root your phone just yet around here, so this may be worth a shot. It is a workaround if you are on Windows 7, culled this from a web search so I can't vouch for it, but with that said:
1. Installed the VZ Media Manager. After installation, ran the program once and cancelled all of the updates etc. that it wants to do.
As soon as you plug in the phone, it tries to start the media manager program with verizon.exe but no longer goes to the web site telling you to install the software.
2. Renamed C:\Program Files\Verizon V CAST Media Manager\verizon.exe to verizon.exx
3. Used a scripting program to create a new .exe file named verizon.exe that does nothing but a meaningless set command. ("set noverizon=") and put the .exe file in the programs folder shown above.
Now when I plug in the phone, nothing happens except the Windows run option box comes up - no prompts for anything Verizon. The verizon.exe program still runs, but it does nothing and you never see it.
You could always rename verizon.exe verizon2.exe if you really want to ever run the program.

Edit, also this:
Just tried this and it seems to be resolving my issues with the popup. However I installed the VMM (Verizon Media Manager) Mode Selector but had not installed vcast yet. Use [Windows Key] + R to invoke the Run dialog. Type in "msconfig" and hit enter. Select the Startup tab. Find the VMM Mode Selector entry and unclick it.

Option 1 sound like the smart way to go. Problem is, for me, the program does not install to begin with, so I have no such folder on my C: drive. I even checked my installed programs in Control Panel to be sure. What a PITA!
On another note, looks like I now have even bigger fish to fry. See here:

What really sucks is that I finally resolved all my multiple e-mail account issues, and everything, only to find I will now have to setup a new phone all over again!
I am able to get the native hotspot working on rooted JUUS06252012 and bypass the "dial 611" message. I'm posting this right now via wifi tethering, on a prepaid plan with a data package.
Before trying to get the native hotspot to work, I did try a few apps first. WiFi Tether for Root works in WPA mode (configured as Epic 4G Touch), but it broke wifi completely after tethering and wifi stayed broken even after a hard reboot. Logcat said a wifi driver file was locked and could not be loaded. I had to factory reset to get wifi working again. FoxFi seemed to work at first, but force closed whenever a client connected.
The mod: I found two values in settings.db to be modified. As we all know, there are many ways to update a sqlite database, but here is one easy way, keeping in mind that the Pantech Burst factory rom lacks many things like BusyBox or the commandline sqlite3. Yes, you need to be rooted:
1. Install Andsen's aShell and aSQLiteManager (not SQLiteManager).
2. Run aShell, check root, tap File Explorer, go to /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases, open settings.db, when prompted to open a copy, say yes and open with aSQLiteManager, tap table secure, tap data and tap "edit" for each of the below
softap_free_supported=1 (old value 0)
softap_entitlement_interval=0 (old value1440)
Then tap back twice. When prompted to commit changes, say yes and exit aShell.
3. Reboot and you can now use the native hotspot. Install a toggle widget for convenience.
*EDIT: with this mod, turning on hotspot from the 2nd level "Portable Wi-Fi hotspot settings" page works reliably, whereas turning it on from the 1st level "Tethering & portable hotspot" page would show the "dial 611" message. Many hotspot widgets work reliably as well, such as HotSpot Toggle, Hotspot Widget or many others.

Did that and my phone is now stuck on boot screen. Removing battery didn't help either
_lost can you check to see if your guide can be updated for the new ICS release? or atleast put a warning up to let people know not to try if they are running ICS on their Pantech Burst?
After a lot of trial and error I have this working on ICS. I tried the free apps first and at first I couldnt even get the change to take. When I did by copying the file editing it then replaceing it the system would just hang on boot. I did get it to work though after having to wipe my device a few times. Now this may still work with the free programs im not realy sure as I figured id give the paid ones a try and got it working. I used the program root explorer. I copied the settings.db and pasted the copy in the same folder. Then I edited the copy in SQLite editor although it still couldnt edit the original.. Then in root explorer I renamed the old file by adding an extension to the end and renamed the new file to replace the old one. Then in root explorer i double checked that the permissions were the same as the old file and also..... (I THINK THIS WAS THE IMPORTANT THING BY THE WAY) I checked the ownership settings in root explorer it was already set to "system" just like the old file. I think the other programs may have been changing the owner of the new file causing issues. Anyway after rebooting it started right up and I can turn on wifi hotspot from either menu. On gingerbread it only worked from the one menu. I hope this works for you guys!!!!!!
by the way i used the original two edits from the first post

Hey thanks! This was the setting that did the trick for me on my Pantech Crossover (P8000). I had recently done the vendor upgrade to Gingerbread and lost root, but more importantly, SVTP's Wifi Hotspot & USB Tether Pro stopped working for me.
I rooted using pawaa's excellent guide and thought that would do the trip, but no such luck. Found this thread, bought SQLite Editor and made the aforementioned changes and all was well.
Guess I don't need SVTP anymore, but the widget works well, and I don't mind having paid for it for the month or so that it worked under Froyo. (Also, it was paid for out of my Nexus 7 $25 credit.) Anyways, just wanted to mention this in case anybody else was trying to get tethering working again on the Crossover after upgrading to 2.3.6.
I am having rooted JUUS03122012.
My Root/data folder is empty

I even updated to rooted JUUS06252012 but could not find ' /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases' folder in root . Please somebody help.:angel:
For Android 2.3.
A simple method for switching on Tethering:
1. Install from market Secret Codes Revealer (play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.afp_group.software)
2. Search Codes
3. List Codes
4. Tap on "softapactivation"
5. Launch code
6. Now we on SoftapHiddenMenu
7. Check on all checkboxes
8. Save
9. Reboot
10. Enjoy full tethering

I tried all of the methods above in ICS and none of them work. Not only do they not work, but if you try to edit the com.android.provider.settings AT&T will block your incoming calls, disable all notifications for messages, and break the home button. I was not able to find away to fix this without reflashing the ROM. I tried repairing the permissions but it did not help. I could not simply change the settings back since it seems AT&T's program did that for me and nonetheless deactivated me.
I can't get this to work either. My phone was purchased as an unlocked device, I didn't realize some things are still locked. :'(
I tried multiple times. I am running the stock (rooted) Android version 4.04 Baseband version JUUS09032012. Everything was setup fresh, all I did was root the device, get my Google account logged in and install the Superuser app, aShell and aSQLiteManager. I didn't stop, disable or uninstall any apps. Then followed the instructions here carefully.
I also tried the "Secret Codes Revealer" method with no luck. But I did not get any popups requesting root access when trying that method, so I can't imagine it doing anything.
I really love the phone - it is everything I want other than the tethering restriction. Hopefully this will be figured out before I am tempted by the new Nexus phone to be announced soon.
I used root browser to make a copy of the database file, edited it with asqlite, then went back to root browser and renamed the copy to the actual database. Then I booted into cwm and selected fix permissions and it works fine. That was the only way I could get it to work.

i face the same problem but i decided to try it one more time
here is what I done
i use a sqllite editor premium
do a backup of the files
i use the root explorer and copy the settings.db and paste in the same folder
after that i used sqlite editor and then settings.storage
after that i change the following values
softap_free_supported=1 (old value 0)
softap_entitlement_interval=0 (old value1440)
entitlement_pdp _checked changed from 0 to 1
than sve it and replace the settings.db by deliting or renaming the original one
than change the settings -copy.db to the settings.db
and delete all the other files that exist in that folder except settings.db (delete .db-shm and .db-wal also)
or
replace all the files in the data/data/com.providers.settings/databases from the attachment
Just download the attachment from Post# 17 and use Root Explorer to overwrite/replace all the files in the data/data/com.providers.settings/databases from the attachment.
It works like Charm.
Thanks irbaaz
Hmm... I didn't touch "entitlement_pdp _checked" but it all seems to work anyway.

This works on rooted AND NON-ROOTED Pantech bursts.
This is so easy. I tested on 4 different bursts including mine. 2 rooted and 2 stock. , 3 on ics, 1 on gingerbread (just arrived) All unlocked. None using AT&T. 3 on Digicel Antigua 4GLte Network.
Thanks Almark for the lead. You're a life saver.
