This GN2 is my first venture into Samsung phones, coming from a Moto Droid 2 Global. With the Moto I did root, flash several roms, occasionally soft-brick and have to restore to stock- so I am familiar with these concepts. But doing it the Samsung way is totally new to me.
I used the Root66 file to root the GN2. I can use Rom Toolbox and TiBu. FoxFi Wireless works but I cannot get Wireless Tether, Open Garden, or Barnacle to work. They do start up and appear to be working, but my computer cannot see them. I read in another post that perhaps BusyBox should be installed, so I did that with JRummy's version- still no wireless. Wireless tethering is our ONLY internet access at home because we live in an area with no broadband availability.
I also want to install the toolkit, put all apps in Multi-Window, and move apps to SD. Do I have to unlock the bootloader before I can do any of those things?
Thanks in advance for educating this Sammy noobie!
You need to go into settings in wireless tether and play with the driver reload checkboxs until you find an option that works for you. Check the log for errors as well after you turn on tethering.

-> I wanna point out that GN2 needs to be treated differently....but like you said, flashing rom and retrieving nandroid should be same concept as your Moto Droid2. And yes! It should be new to you!

-> There are 2 ways to fix your wifi tethering issues after rooting and unlocking your device.
1. by flashing any rom that already has hacked hotspot or working wifi tether apk
2. by installing wifi tether after rooting and unlocking bootloader on your existing stock rooted image.
If you're not considering option #1, then you can google search WifiTether_TrevE_Mod_11_22_2012, install it, and change settings as follows.
Change Device-Profile: Generic ICS/JB (wlan0)
Change Setup-Method: Netd-Ndc (master)
Send Netd Max Client Cmd: check
Enable WiFi-Encryption: your choice
WiFi-Driver Reload1,2: check both
Enable Access Control: your choice
Keep Alive-Connection Checking....: your choice
Routing Fix: check
Disable Wake-Lock: your choice (i prefer to check)

Toolkit is pretty much useless because it won't let you unlock the bootloader because of credibility issue.
First root your phone as posted here.

In all the 2.3.5 ROMs I have tried, the built in WiFi tethering fails to save any settings. If you change the SSID from AndroidAP to anything else, once you come back to the settings page it will revert back to AndroidAP always. Does anyone else have this issue with their latest ROM?
Cheers.

If your phone is rooted, you can use apps like Barnacle Wifi Tether.
Works perfect for me. It remembers all settings. App also displays downloaded/uploaded data volume real time.

Thank you for your response! I gave it a try but unfortunately it just doesn't want to share correctly. I tried a few WiFi tethering apps but they all seem to fail and it's not because I don't have root access, I think it is because they are not 2.3.5 compatible yet. By the way, do any of them support WPA as opposed to WEP?

afaik, barnacle supports only WEP encryption....
Don't know about other similar apps (like android wifi tether, easy tether, pdanet, etc)
gmatharu12,
It seems the bug is rather a Google one than Samsung. Many Nexus users have experienced the same when getting the 2.3.6 update. Then Google pushed out another update to fix it along with a bunch of others.
Back to our cases with 2.3.5, I also notice the DUN APN type once was shown up in 2.3.4 has gone. Not sure if it has a corelation or not.
Yeah i have the same problem...be good when some one finds a fix...wish i could but i am no way near the level of the devs here (respect)
I confirm that the problem exists on 2.3.4 and 2.3.5, KI4 / KJ1 (stock and custom roms)...

Folks,
This is strange because some reports in the Google support forum, it has been fixed OTA for the vanilla build for Nexus S.

Azurstorm,
Of course, we are posting here for our Samsung GALAXY S II GT-I9100. But my point is that Nexus S is a "close relative", and many things should be similar.
The issue is already resolved. Right after you flash a ROM, change the wifi tethering setting first BEFORE you enable wifi. If you enable WIFI first, then yes, the tethering setting cannot be saved. I've tried this several times and it certainly solved my problem.
If you change the wifi tethering setting first, THEN you enable wifi. After that the settings can be saved.

Thanks for your advice, I found only one combination possible:
1) Deactivate all wifi function.
2) Reboot
3) Change tethering settings
4) Activate wifi or tethering
But it's a little excessive to change one setting
dikai_yang / Azurstorm,
*Update: Thank you! It seems the key to success is disable WiFi fisrt and reboot. It is kind of hassle but consider once it is set, most of us would not change it too often.
same problem here :s
Actually, the sure fire way to fix this issue, is to correct the permissions on the /data/misc/wifi folder. (you must have root)
In a shell window or terminal emulator, type:
chmod 770 /data/misc/wifi
This should fix you right up. No reboot necessary.
Samsung screwed up with the Kernel in 2.3.5 firmware, you just need to use another Kernel, something like Speedmod or Siyah fixes it.

Right, but if for some reason you don't want to flash a different kernel, you can just adjust the permissions of the /data/misc/wifi folder, provided you have root.

Does anyone know if it is 'safe' to rename/uninstall/freeze TetheringManager.apk?
(Does the built in tethering use the same APN, external routing, etc. the phone would use internally?)
I have renamed TetheringManager.apk and have confirmed that tethering is 'still' working.

Yes, deleting tethering manager is safe, it eliminates the check for the "broadband" apn, instead tethering uses the normally configured APN.

Here is what I did to get it to work;
1. Used Titanium Backup Pro, under Backup/Restore... uninstall TetheringProvision.apk.
2. there is an app in the Market called FoxFi, but unfortunately my carrier will not let me download it from the market. If that is the case, on their Market page, they list the link to download the .apk file to install on your Note. This app will allow you to use Wifi and USB tethering.

OK - I have rooted my phone with Odin, but I am not sure how to flash the .zip file that is mentioned in that link... I am a total noob with android... Any help would be appreciated.
Reboot to download mode: from a turned off phone squeeze both volume up and down at the same time and hold them in. Now push and hold the power button until the phone vibrates, then let go of the power button.
Keep squeezin' those volume buttons until you see the recovery menu.
Choose flash zip. Navigate to your zip. Select and confirm you mean to flash that zip. Wait a few until done.
Reboot normally. But any change to the system can slow down the boot time. Don't fiddle with any buttons for at least a xouple of minutes to let the change settle in.
Im trying to setup wifi tethering on the x10mp (phone 3G->wifi to a laptop).
I've tried Barnacle (laptop failed to connect to phone), and "wifi tether for root users" (two apps), but both gave an error message that the kernel is missing some components.
has anyone got some wifi tethering app to work on x10mp? and if so, which one and how?

AW: [Q] wifi tethering
If you are on stock SE firmware, even if you have rooted your phone, Wifi tethering wont work for you, as the stock firmware does'nt support tethering. Here is a link with a list of tutorials and custom ROMs (I think all ROMs from android 2.3 support tethering):
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1588192
The easiest way would be to install xrecovery on your stock kernel (you'll find one under "stock kernel based custom ROMs) and then flash a GingerBread(2.3) ROM via xrecovery.
Please press thanks if I helped .
Tnx.
Im using the stock SE ROM.
Kernel 2.6.29
Firmware 2.1-update1
Any chance I could get wifi tethering working w/o installing a custom ROM?

Don't be afraid of flashing Roms in stock kernel, its simplicity itself. If you have already rooted your phone, here's a quick how-to:
1.Download stericson's busybox from the market & install newest version (currently 1.20.2, I think)
2.Download the zip file in this post
3.Download script manager from the market.
4. Extract the files onto your sdcard so that you find the files "chargemon, busybox, xrecovery.tar, readme.txt, installer" in sdcard/download/xrecovery.
5.Open script manager, give superuser permissions (tick 'browse as root' on first startup), navigate to the folder you extracted and run 'installer' as root (tip on the superuser symbol on the top left corner. When activated, it should be green).
6.Download the Rom you want to flash onto your sdcard, a link you'll find in my earlier post(only choose from stock kernel based roms)
7.Reboot.
8. When the SE logo appears, press back button quickly several times. You will boot into xrecovery.
9.Make a backup via xrecovery.
10.wipe data via xrecovery and install your downloaded rom, surprise, via xrecovery.
11.reboot&enjoy!

Looking forward to the files you've mentioned.
1. Can I create a backup of the current kernel & ROM (the SE stock ones which the phone arrived with)?
In case something breaks during the process, I could hopefully revert to these.
2. Can I get the wifi tethering functionality without updating the kernel, only by installing a new ROM?
When I tried the "wifi tether for root users" app it showed an error message that the kernel is missing some components.
Xrecovery
So, here is the zip.
PS: All credits go to the guys in the following link (quangnhut123), he uploaded the files, I only wrote the installer script .

4. Extract the files onto your sdcard so that you find the files "chargemon, busybox, xrecovery.tar, readme.txt, installer" in sdcard/download/xrecovery.
Yes, you are able to restore your previous system via an xrecovery backup.
Please press thanks if this worked for you. If it didn´t please tell me what went wrong, I will fix asap.
NOTE: I havn't tested this yet, because I havn't had time to reflash & root my X10 MP. As said above, if it doesn't work, I will fix .
When I used the stock ROM, I used brancle for wifi tethering, It worked. Unfortunately, I do not remeber the exact settings. But I'm sure, It works.

What about my question regarding the kernel? as I mentioned, when I tried the other tethering app, the error it displayed was that the kernel is missing some components. so If I use the stock kernel, and only install a new ROM, will this still allow wifi tethering, or do I need to flash a new kernell as well?

Well, I don't think your kernel is missing components, that would
1. Disprove the links in your post and

Also, I'm pretty sure that when I was on Minicm7Pro (with stock kernel), I had wifi tethering.

First of all, did the script work (yet)? Have you tried it yet? Sorry, I havn't tested yet, but I will do so today.
Secondly, MiniCM7pro always worked well for me, but if you like the stock SE style, try SonyStyle by the same developer.

Actually, I remembered, that i can simply see the settings in my wife's mini, which is with the stock ROM, and uses Brancle. I just tried it, works flawlessly. The phone is only rooted, nothing more. Here are the settings:
SSID - elka
BSSID - empty
Wireless encyption - five low-case letters, no numbers, no symbols, for example - abcde, ASCII encoding
Channel - 6
Custom Wifi Ad-hoc - none
Skip wpa_supplicnat - not checked
Auto Associate - not checked
Accsess control - not checked
New client actions - Notify (checked), Sound - Play a ringtone, Light - empty, Allow - empty
Local mode - checked,
DHCP - Gw - 192.168.5.1, Mask - 255.255.255.0, First Host - 100, Lease time - 1200 sec, DNS1 and 2 - empty
NAT - leave everything default
WAN- rmnet0
LAN - empty
What do you mean when you say "laptop failed to connect to phone" - tries, but can't get address, or nothing happens? If nothing happens, try to press the "Associate" button.
I remember, that there was something strange with the password - make it as simple as you can. If it is not working, try temporarily to disable encryption.
I cannot tell the version of Brancle I am using, but Market doesn't offer me an update, so it must the latest one, at least for the stock x10 mini with stock ROM. If you know how to check it - tell me, i will do it.
And something else - check the security settings of the laptop - are the Ad-Hoc networks and WEP encryption allowed? Brancle makes Ad-hoc only, not infrastructural.
Good luck!
EDIT/
As I see from market, the version of Brancle is 0.6.7 (evo)

It works for only a single time. The gnome network manager defined the wireless network as "infrastructre", and I changed it to "adhoc".
It connected once, but Im not being able to reconnect again now. ;-(
any suggestions?
Try to connect some other device, to see whether the problem is in the device, or in the Mini/Brancle. What do you mean, saying "not being able to reconnect"? - You cannot see network, you see it, but nothing happens when trying to connect, you can try to connect, but cannot aquire address (ie stuck on "connecting...")

well, the log on barnacle shows "failed to reassociate", but not much else.
how did u define the network on the pc/laptop? any special settings there besides being an "adhoc"?
Could you please check what is the kernel version & OS build number on ur x10mp? (they are listed under settings, in one of the submenus there).
TIA
Biggies for me and mutually inclusive:
1 Root
2 Disable updates
3 Enable card write permissions
4 Debloat
5 Foxfi
In the main "Root for ALL G3..." thread in the General G3 area, first post has a spreadsheet link.
The spreadsheet indicates IOroot works for VZW.
Any reason not to use it, instead of towelroot?
(I also want to debloat and get my tethering up, plus LBE Security Master to control app permissions and ads)
I will be using IOroot for my g3 tonight well if fedex ever comes
i tried towelroot and it says my device isnt currently supported
ioroot supposedly works
A recent post in the main thread claims that ioroot works on our VZW G3.
Mine was delivered but I'm stuck at work...
ya i just did it with ioroot. everything running perfectly

someone needs to make a thread on here saying which VZW and LG bloat apps are safe to remove. Ill probably root only and ONLY to debloat, I have no need to edit anything else on this phone till I get bored or frustrated at lack of updates (for when it inevitably happens).
Rooting is also nice to re-enable sd card writes for third party apps

Thanks for the info. I am about to root my G3 and was wondering if you did the EFS Backup as suggested in the IOroot thread?
Thanks
Interesting...

I tried ioroot and didn't get positive results. I've tried about everything
Rushless -- OT, I know, but do you recall a decent app or how-to on sd card access with 4.4 after I root? I think one was mentioned on another forum but lost the link.

There are a few. Look up "sd card kitkat patch" in the market. They all alter the same script
Stellar -- thanks!

No I haven't done it yet. I also had to play with it for a while to get adb to stay online and get the rsa certificate popup to come on my phone. Make sure you use the Verizon files

Rushless perhaps you can answer my question. Is the EFS Backup procedure necessary?

What did you to it to get the ADB and RSA certificate to popup? I'm USB'd in as ethernet, installed the Verizon files, reset my computer, even restored the G3... any hints would be much appreciated. ioroot just remains on ""daemon started successfully"

You have to switch the usb connection method in the notification area to MTP and or Internet Connection > Ethernet. This is the solution you are looking for. You have to do it to enable usb debugging. Just go back and forth until you get the RSA popup.

I'm having the same problem. Verizon specific USB drivers loaded, have switched between MTP and Internet connection (Ethernet), device even says "USB debugging connected" when on the latter, but ioRoot is stuck on "waiting for ADB connection" no matter what I seem to do. Any other tips?
Within the ioroot thread (towards the end) someone posted a link to install the G2 drivers. I did that and was able to accept the RSA cert on my device and boot to ADB. I'll post a link in a bit for the lazy.
