WiFi Tether Fix in XU B.89 TFT FIRMWARE - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

DISCLAIMER THIS IS NOT MY WORK! All thanks go to drsanket_xperia_u.
First you need this!
http://code.google.com/p/xdroidx/downloads/detail?name=SQLite Editor-9.apk
I cannot post url links sorry!
Now open root explorer and go to:
Data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases.
You will see a file called "settings.ab"
You need to move this to your sd card - anywhere will do, your going to 've moving it back soon.
Open it up and go to secure and find "tether_dun_required" and set the value to "0"
Once done move it back to its original place :- data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases
Change the permissions to RW RW RW
Now reboot and bobs your uncle. Drsankets your saviour, I'm the messanger, haha you get the idea... Tether is working! Tried and confirmed by me!

Not my work
I just found a way to do it on mobile itself
Credit goes to EROCRUN

Working great!
It took my PC about a minute to actually get an IP from the phone - seems like DHCP is not so fast.
Otherwise, awesome.

---

Dude, it's my trick! please read posts carefully.

---

Sorry dude must have been all the excitement haha

It's Working

---

It was working only with 3g network... but it still giving tethering error on wifi tethering. It's little bit odd to tether wifi but it's not working. I don't know, maybe is my fault
But, I'll wait for some proper firmwire, like word or some fully functional one :/

---

It's absolutely your fault.

---

Haha did I mention neither one of us are responsible for a fault on your phone! I must have done it wrong when I reflashed .89 and my phone went into bootloop after doing this fix and uninstalling all the bloatware

Okay
Now those who are having tethering error even after setting tether_dun_required to 0
Do this
Go to settings.db
Secure
Change value in
Tether_dun_apn to the apn of ur provider....set perm to rw-rw
Reboot

Or... you can delete system\etc\customization\settings\com\android\settings\custom_settings.xml
The custom_settings are:
<setting key="tether_dun_required" runtime="false">1</setting>
<setting key="tether_dun_apn" runtime="false">TIM Web DUN,ibox.tim.it,,,,,,,,,222,01,0,dun</setting>
I have deleted those and other customizations when debranding, and in my "settings.db" i don't have anything that contains the word Tether , and i have usb tethering working

but it won't work if you delete that file after flashing, because it affects to phone on first start.
so if someone flashed ftf, only workaround is changing db.

Ok, and what will happen when you "factory restart" your phone ??
The settings.db trick wont work because of the "custom settings", and you will have to edit settings.db again,
and if you delete that custom settings.. and reset you phone, the problem is gone forever.

---

I tried deleting file+factory settings combination ofcourse, but didn't work on my phone.

---

Could somebody tell me which are the permissions for the two other files present in data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases, please? I mean settings.db-shm and settings.db-wal, please?

What exactly did you do?
1. you had tether working using your tweak...
2. HOW did you make it not working again.. did you restore the original settings.db ??
3. then... what next ??
I have a EVERYTHING working .89 only by deleting some customization's in etc.
