Hi. I'm a beginner of this tethering.
What I wanted to do was to install custom rom for froyo to my verizon samsung fascinate and use as personal hotspot.
I tried to understand/find how to do so but there are lots of look-a-likes in the forum.
Would anyone show me the link that I need to follow for my need?
Please..

go there to get rooted

go there for the latest custom ROM
sounds like your entire post was asking how to root...
as far as tethering goes, you do it at your own risk, but you can download Barnacle wifi tether, or whatever app of your choice. i use that one with my nook color
another dumb question..
what's the risk of rooting?
Is the rooting the only step that i need to take to use my phone as hotspot?
No need of rom?
Barnacle wifi tether looks good. Thanks..

Well you lose the service from Carrier/Maker, but you can always UnRoot.
Get Community Rom by Adrynalyne, I believe that's the only ROM w/ 3G Hotspot glitch.

Does the Free WIFI HotSpot require a custom ROM or does it just take rooting? Second questions is it possibly to Root the Sprint version yet?
The sprint version has been rooted.

this is exactly the question i need answered. i have rooted my phone, however i dont have hotspot access. i have also downloaded clockworkmod on my phone. how do i get the hotspot access? please help.
Hi, I have an x10, When i try to use it as a wifi hotspot my laptop will connect, but with no internet access. and while the hotspot is on the internet will not work on the x10 either.
Barnacle comes up with some sort of intializing error.
The phone is rooted and running 2.3.3.
Any help getting the hotspot working would be great, thanks.

Have you tried using an external app?
Hi, on stock SE firmware.
I have tried an external app, as mentioned in my original post. (Barnacle)
not really wanting to flash a new rom, as its an x10i and dont want to lose any functionality.
but if it was the only way i would flash another rom.
thanks

That's quite unusual if it doesn't work on stock.

it was on another network before we got the phone though, would that make a difference?
so, is there a fully working rom i can flash, doesnt need to be special. just a full reflash of the same android version with working everything.
thanks
All, I am a noob to this and could really use the help. Everything seems so convoluted.
I just returned my phone to AT&T because of some issues.I was able to root that one without an issue. However they now provided another phone with ICS on it. I don't want to install a ROM or change the kernel. Just want to use the AT&T software and have it come up the same way just rooted. I saw the GalaxyS2Root.com site but it changes the kernel to Siyah an load up screen picture is different.
I want to have the ability to load titanium back up and freeze the tethering program so I can tether my tablet.
Once again I just want a simple rooting program with minimal but detailed steps. I appreciate any assistance that you pros can give me.
Forever in your debt!!
Thanks

Dont go to galaxys2root and read the damn stickies. Cmon man!
I wish I could update the how to root guide in the stickies, but I'm not the original poster and the original poster has been gone from the forums since before Christmas. For what you want, use Odin to flash stock ICS plus root, which you can find in the development section, probably on the 2nd page.

Creepy,
This worked great!!! Thank you for your help!!!! :victory:
Hey all,
I got the ATT one M8 from the US. its has some nonworking features (like tethering\hotspot). I really need that option and I understand that flashing the Viper ROM will help.
However - my work requires my phone not to be rooted to get emails.
Is it possible to unroot viper ROM after I install it (meaning keeping the viper ROM installed but unrooting it)?
thank you in advance
Could try [email protected] xposed module not sure itll work but worth a shot

I saw on a thread a couple weeks back about a flashable zip that unlocks wifi tethering. Im sure a simple search will dig that thread back up for you. it seemed pretty simple to do.
I flashed a RUU on mine that installed factory att software (bloated of course) but wifi tethering worked on it.
I think i got it from Mr. hoffs

That mod requires root.

Tethering will work on a stock device (or device which official RUU was installed) if your AT&T account permits tethering. But its a network based verification. So if you try to use the stock AT&T ROM on another carrier (which is sounds like the OP is doing) it breaks the WiFi tethering feature (unless you mod the phone).
The OP is in kind of a Catch 22, where root is needed for tethering, but his work doesn't permit root. So it seems WNC's suggestion (if it works) is the best bet.
Couldn't he just unlock bootloader and boot TWRP without flashing custom recovery or rooting device and run flashable zip?

Most custom ROMs are pre-rooted.
Thank you all for the replies.
I have given up on trying to find a stock ROM and just flashed the Viper.
Cant get work emails now - will try the root cloak .
and thanks again for AT&T for being so square as to not let people from other countries and carriers use their own phones features!
Hey guys thanks so much for the responses and all the help I have received in the past few days with this god dang phone. I have two more things I would like to get working and then I am done messing with this phone. I would like to 1. root it which has now been extremely hard with the update I just did for my vzw s4. and I would love it if any one could baby step me through it ... I know odin works really well on phone so I would prefer that 2. I can connect to wifi every where except at my school which runs 802.1x EAP and I would like to connect to that. I have friends with the same phone and carrier and they can connect fine. I also have used the lg volt and a samsung galaxy exhibit which worked marvels with internet and proxies and such but this s4 is just killing me. Would a custom rom or flashing a previous version of the os work to solve this problem?? Thanks again for all your help.

Just go to the thread in the general section about rooting NK1, and use the kernel flashing method listed there. Happy Rooting!
And about 802.11x, its a pain I know, just resetting to stock fixed it for me. (which should be done before rooting your device!!!!)
