[Q] Tethering to a nonrooted phone

Sorry for the what seems like a basic question but didn't find this in my search of the forums.
I have a non-rooted Evo (that unfortunately I am not allowed to root). Anyone know of a way to use something similar to PDANet to tether to the gtablet?
I would think there would be some way to get this done but am not having luck finding it.
Thanks in advance.
Anyone?
Is there really no way to do this? Arg!
if pda net won't work for you and you are on verizon wireless.....you can pay the 20$ a month to use their service........I'm curious,why can't you root?

Shared phone at this point. I can run PDAnet on the phone....there is no client program that I know of to run on android tho for the tab to point the network over the USB to go to the phone.
Its an Evo....so I'm on Sprint.
Thanks for trying.
I think Tether.com has an android program now. Always worked great on my blackberry. Not sure if it will wifi tether or need program on the receiving device though.
Simple answer is root your phone and use Wifi Tether.

Thanks. Rooting is out for me on this phone so oh well.
Looked at this...this works same as PDAnet....an android app is there to share the 4G signal on that device but it assumes you are tethering to a PC or a MAC and has executables for those OS's assuming you are linking to a laptop.
In this case I was trying to link an android to an android. I'll keep looking.

Rooting does nothing to the phone that affects how it works. using a custom ROM does.
I have a HTC Droid Incredible, rooting does nothing to the user experience. But rooting does allow for using ROMs.
Well it makes no difference. I can't install a custom ROM and I believe I have to root to do that. This wasn't particularly helpful.
I don't believe there is a way to tether android to android without being able to manipulate non-userspace (aka superuser access). I'll do some footwork for you, but to my knowledge I don't believe you can. I wish I could be more helpful.
I've been scouring all the resources I could find.i can't find any way for you to do this.....sorry.....
What about a soft root? That is a method of rooting that is not permanent, and will go away every time you reboot your phone. Would that be something you could do?

Thanks to everyone for their assistance. I spent a couple days looking around but never found anything either. Thanks for taking your time to help.
I find it hard to believe this hasn't been done. Wish I knew how to program....
So I have heard rumors you can bluetooth tether to a android phone. But I am not sure how it works.
Please let me know if find anything. I have been trying to find a way to do this as well.

Still looking. PDAnet can run the bluetooth connection on the phone side but I haven't found an app that runs on the gtablet side to route the traffic over the bluetooth connection (or USB if I could find that as well).
I found a bunch of people who have Xoons that were able to do it but apparently it has an option built in to allow tethering over BT (they get a little wrench that pops up once the devices pair). I have found nothing like this in ours.
I'm also trying to find out how to soft root my Evo as I don't want to run Unrevoked but I'm not having luck there either.
Is it the warranty your worried about breaking by rooting? If so I can understand. But I think you may be confusing rooting with installing a custom rom. You don't have to do that. There is no change in the phone except an app in your drawer called super user. Use universal androot apk or z4root and then use the barnacle teathering app from the market. Its connected my PC, Mac, winmo phone, Gtab and Xbox 360 to my phone.
There is a "hack" that works with the Droid X. I don't know if it works with other android phones, but I saw it a while ago on androidforums.com. do a search in the droidx sections.

newbie looking for hotspot info

Hi all, simple question for the experts here. We have a new Fascinate phone and I just recently got an iPad 2 that I would like to tether to the phone as a hotspot (for free if at all possible).
I don't want to root the phone because quite frankly, this isn't a huge issue for us and I don't want to screw it up. I am simply asking if other methods work for activating the hotspot without root? I am not interested in wired tethering because this is for the iPad.
I see the QPST hack posted on a couple of forums...does that work? Is it as easy as it sounds? I also saw on a few Droid X forums something about a 4636 code and airplane mode? Does that work on the Fascinate?
If nothing works besides rooting, that is fine. Just wanted a final confirmation.

[Q] can my s3 and my mac work together

hi there, im a new user. and new to the android world completely. ive been an iphone owner since release. but when the abomination of the iphone 5 was released, and my network provider were demanding £100 for an extra row of apps! i decided it was time for a change. and im so happy i have. android is far superior. and i dont know how ive managed with out.
now i dont know much about rooting and hacking, and im currently reading up on it. how ever the main thing i want from my phone at the moment is a software upgrade EE are being very slow at rolling out the 4.1 update and im still stuck on 4.0 when a lot of my friends are on 4.1 and above. the only computer i have access to is an apple mac ( i know but im a music student and i need logic pro for my course) so my main question is can anyone tell me if i can still root & hack the phone with a mac? what software do i need? and how do i do it.
thanks in advance. jack :laugh:
Use isyncer available on Google play along with the Mac program downloaded from isyncer's website (Google it) to be able to sync ur phone to your iTunes library. Great app because it copies the exact album art and I tune library tag over

You can install a Virtual Machine mac app with Windows 7. After that mount your phone inside that VM, install drivers for the phone, download the firmware you want and flash with odin.
Good luck.

But you have to be careful, as because of the small patent issues and court cases, your mac will try to send premium SMS to charge you for using Apple patent for peaceful communication with Samsung device
I'm using iSyncr from the Play Store (you can try the free version first if you want, it has some limitations though, I think a song limit or something like that).
It has a client running in the background on your Mac 24/7 and when you connect the phone it starts up and asks you what you want to sync, showing you all the music you have in iTunes.
For other stuff I use the wonderful AirDroid, to which you connect from your browser.
This combination works great for me for normal use, and WiFi transfer speeds are great for normal usage.

i have to say welcome to freedom jack
you are personally the 6th person I know say goodbye to the apple jail
I have all my friend change to android ones they use my sgs3 and they all have macs
like Mr Benthe suggested just before me
so I'll give you the same help
if some one has already suggested "android" sorry I haven't read all of the responses.
if you encounter any issues using adb or sdk editing I can suggest "parallels" for mac you can Google it pretty much embeds xp functionality to any mac so any pc software can be run without any problem
if you install the latest "kies" from Samsung I suggest you do it ones you add parallels as it will work better ones you do that skies from Samsung will look at any backup you did to your iPhone and suggest getting all this settings and ad them to your sgs3
ones you get the handle of these "flashing" rooting and all the mumble jumble
I suggest start with search for you carriers modem and learn it as you'll have some connection issues if it does have a preferred modems . then personally
try stock kernels like dlib jelly bean one of the best stock kernel in my opinion
then go ahead and go crazy with any custom kernel

WIFI Madness - Samsung Galaxy S III i9300 (International)

Hello everybody, this is my first post in XDA.
I'm in a dead end with my phone, and after checking the whole forum and of course googling for an answer I can't find, here I am.
I've got a Samsung S3 i9300 (Int) which was functioning perfectly well with Ultima ROM 10.1. Now I tried to move on to 11.0 and found out my WIFI stopped working. Actually, it's able to connect to a non secured network but is unable to cope with wpa2 for instance. For some reason, it tags every network as WPS and fails to connect every time.
Strangely, I tried with a couple of other ROMs (Omega 44.2, Slim, NeatROM) and I have the exact same problem.
But if I move back to CyanogenMod 10.1 or stock, it works perfectly.
Can anyone help me out here?
THANKS!!
I had this exact same problem and banged my head against the wall over it and ended using just wpa, when I get time I'm going to attack the problem again though!

Well yes, but having this amazing phone and having trouble to connect to WIFI on a bar or something... sounds way too un-cool for me!
I hope someone has a solution for this,.. or at least a hint!
Have you tried using custom kernels such as Perseus or Siyah.
The kernel includes the Wifi drivers but not the wpa_supplicant so it should !e easy to pinpoint what causes it.
Also a logcat would be nice.

I had a look at that post, and I've tried most of those without any luck, and the one I haven't tried like an extreme wipe, I'm not willing to. I know it's not flawless logic what I'm going to say, but I think that if it works with some ROMs, it can't be solved by wiping.

[Q]Wildfire S - ideas how to use it

Hi guys,
So basically I have HTC Wildfire S that I'm not currently using. It just lay in the drawer and I'm thinking what I can do with it. I just installed there CM 10.1 ROM and I thought that I'll use it as testing phone for my apps that I'm looking forward to do. But right now I have no ideas how to use it.
One guy in another category where I posted this question suggested to use it as a router but I have WiFi in house and I think that without SIM card in HTC that will not work.
Any other ideas?
