[Q] I hope this is a stupid question... - HTC Rezound

I've made to the point of flashing Bamf Rezound Ics V2.0 on my only-hours-old Rezound and I've got a couple issues i can't figure out.
First, I cannot get any version of wifi tether to work. It LOOKS like it's working, but nothing find's it's signal.
Second, whenever I flash a kernel I get "main version older" in the bootloader update.
Not sure what I'm missing, but I could use some easy help.

There is a zip somewhere on xda that you flash prior to flashing the rom to nix the main version issue, makes it a really low number. Not sure about tethering, I don't use it.

What version of wifi tether? Also make sure you are using the app that comes up first when searching for wireless tether. Should look like this when opened:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

can't get wifi tether or wireless tether to work on with this ROM/something... Not sure what i did/didn't do.
It LOOKS like it's working. it says it's working. SU gives it permission, but NO signal anywhere.

Ok... got it all figured out. Didn't know i had to change settings in wifi tether to make it work right. all good now.

Before going and flashing kernels, make sure they are ICS kernels. So it can be compatible with your rom. Also if you like BAMF, give Nilsp business sense Rom a try.

I'm the kind of geek who typically flashes a lot more kernels than ROMs. The problem I was having with flashing kernels was tied to the main version, which the .zip tool fixed. I flashed an older kernel (possibly GB/AOSP?) at first that basically soft bricked the phone, but reflashing the ROM fixes that easy enough. I was VERY close to going to Nils B-ICS because it had Wifi Tether built in and working, but the solution to my problem was in his "Added and Modded". Had to change the profile and check "Routing Fix" like his OP says.
So, the whole solution to my problem was flash the versionLOW.zip, then the ROM, then the kernel, then install Wifi Tether, change the profile, and check Route Fix. If I'd flashed Business Sense first, I probably wouldn't have had any of these issues, but I didn't.
The answers were there, but i just didn't read enough to know what the tools I was looking at were for.
As always, it's great to be at XDA.
