Ok, so I keep reading about the Temp roots out there, and all I really want to do is root only for the WiFi capability. I honestly don't care about rooting other than that. I run a small business and need WiFi hotspot, but don't want to shell out $30 to Sprint every month for something I use maybe once a week. I had my EVO rooted, but got very addicted to flashing, which just took up more and more of my time....ugh... Any thoughts?
TIA
Temp root can't get much easier other than making an app

You can use the latest temp root and use barnacle wifi tether from the market.
Then what are you waiting for. Root your phone and get barnicle from the market.
I'm sorry, I thought u had to be perm rooted to use WiFi...?
Not for the barnacle app. You just need to be able to give it su permissions which you can do with temp root.

With that said, which version of the temp root do you guys recommend?

And don't use barnacle... It's only ad-hoc. Use the latest wifi tether from the web, not the market. There are instructions to make it work here on these forums. When I'm not on the phone I can give you them here

So I've got my evo 3d rooted using the temp method and I do have superuser permissions, but I can't seem to get the wireless tether software to work. Anyone else having this problem?

Try Barnacle from the market. The first time you run it, it'll complain about something and you have to click "do it now". After that, it'll work fine from that point forward.

Yes I tried that but it's running really slow. There is an alternative fix. Anyway thanks for the help.

Actually wifi tether program works but some caveats..
So, I tested SpeedTest.net's app on m phone and got about 5600-6000kbps, however, when I tested the same app on the Asus Transformer, it's only getting 300-400kbps.
What kind of speeds are you guys getting?

I have a grandfathered unlimited data setup (part of my base
package not a 'data plan'). Is there a non-root way to do wi-fi
tethering short of the official hotspot option?
Open Garden worked really well with my DInc, but no idea if it would work with the Rezound and 4G. I will try it once I am rooted (requires root).

I used open garden on my TBolt and my Galaxy Tab and it worked fine.

Non root? I dont think so... U can tether via usb without root, not wifi that im aware of

I'll try a few today and let you know how they work out.
I am rooted with the one click root, and it has wireless tether built in.
No, wifi tethering requires root. Try usb, or root it. Unlocking bootloader is pretty easy and safe being official and all. Root is also pretty easy.
Have seen some people say that open garden hangs when they try to stop the tethering, but so far it does seem to be the only app that allows tethering in infrastructure rather than ad hoc. And yes you do need to be rooted.

If I do the official unlock method will root tethers work? I've always wondered this but never looked into it

Yes, or u could use Foxfi if you don't root. Sprint has blocked foxfi from appearing in the play store but if you google it you can download it from the webpage.

As long as you have root access you can run a tethering app. It doesn't matter what method you use to gain root

Wife just got new 3d from Sprint as replacement and wants to use it to tether.. Are there any ways to get it to tether without rooting? If not what's the easiest way just to root so she can tether. It came with the new ics update. Thanks in advance for any information

You have built in wifi tether app

You options are to pay sprint to use the built-in tether, or root and use Wifi Tether.
You can use clockwork tether without rooting but it will cost you $5 for the app and it only works through USB,
I was using the tethering thing and now I got a letter from sprint wanting to terminate my account do to not obeying my contract, I think they only found is because I did a profile or prl update. Before that nothing and I was using it for months, so advice to you all, don't update your profile or prl .keep you all updated when I speak to them on monday

From what I hear you can use WiFi tether app without them knowing about it as long as you don't use their native tethering which of course would have to hacked.
So, just got a nexus 7 and want to to use my Amaze to tether to it for mobile data. I've searched around A LOT and not found a post that answers my question. I've seen several posts about tether hacking APN's and "viewing formats"? to trick T-MO into seeing the downloaded info as being a mobile device, or specifically an Android device. I don't want the hassle or know if it's possible from my tablet to my phone. I am actually looking for an APP that permits tethering. I am willing to pay for it, but I haven't found one that works. I've tried several free versions that permit you to test the app before buying the paid version. And some others that try using the stock tethering but use the aftermarket APP to get to it. Nothing works. Either T-MO blocks it still, or it can never fully connect. Does anyone know an app that works? I have an unlocked bootloader, and am running Eclipzes speed rom. I AM S-ON. Will S-OFF help? Any advice is appreciated.

Wifi tether for root users? It is free.

I used the APN change and built-in tethering app as found documented in the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1332627
That works for me and a stock only ever temp rooted Amaze 4g. You said you are willing to pay, then you could just pay T-Mobile if that is the case. No need to pay any 3rd party if that what you decide.

Yeah, I meant pay for an app once and be done. $15 per month for the foreseeable future just to access to my own data plan is stupid. I'll try that method. Does anyone know if I go back to gingerbread if I'll regain the feature? Has anyone tried this? I would be willing to go that route, the Nexus is my play toy now so it won't bother me soo much to be running 2.3 on the Amaze. Although I'll miss speed rom...
