[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sh3ngLong:
Hi guys,

I'm trying to tether my TF to my Evo. I'm going on a long road trip this coming weekend, and it would be nice to have Internet access on my TF during the long ride. I followed javroch's steps above, but the part I'm not seeing is Step 6.

When I click on the wrench next to the "HTC Evo" name, I only see the following options:

Under "HTC Evo options:

- Rename device

- Unpair

And under "Profiles", there is nothing. It's blank. So I don't see the "Tethering" option.

Am I doing something wrong? Or do those steps above only work on Moto Android phones?

BTW, my Evo or TF is not rooted, nor am I planning on rooting them (well... not anytime soon :) ).
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tone503773:
The directions you quoted were for Bluetooth tethering I beleive and you need to be rooted to accomplish that. Wireless tether does not though.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krazienluv10:
Mine says the same thing.... either unpair or rename the device. A little dissapointed since I've been trying to bluetooth for a while now and freshly rooted the tf yesterday just to wifi on my already rooted droid running bugless to no avail.... please help.... thanks

Response from Intelliborn (My Wi 4)

Due to a difference in hardware the infrastructure mode could only be created for the iphone 4 with ios 4.3+ or the Verizon iphone.

Thank you for your interest in Intelliborn,​

I guess this is why people have been able to use the Iphone to tether to the Transformer but not the IPad.

Both PDANet and My Wi 4 create ad-hoc networks on the IPad which the Transformer can't utilize unless it is rooted.

Unfortunately I don't feel comfortable enough with android to root it myself.

Anybody out there who can create a "one click" root?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eyedoctor2:
Success!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally tethering TO my Transformer from my IPad- though this should work with any phone.

Steps:

1) First have to Root.

This has now been made simple through this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1125714

2) Learn how to ADB

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1071584

But important note is that you don't have to go through all the Android SDK installation. The download that you obtain in step 1 will include everything you need to ADB. One of the folders included in the download is root_app. Within it are all the files you need to ADB.

But the guide to ADB is a good read to teach you how to use ADB.

3) Use guide to install and modify wpa_supplicant

Guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=14089118

Now that you are rooted and have basic ADB knowledge, getting the instructions on this guide to work is easy.

4) On the IPad 3g end either MyWi 4 or PDANet will enable tethering on your jailbroken IPad.

Enjoy my fellow newbies!

I have a b7O and i'm not particularly sure of rooting my TF.

I used "PDAnet for tablets beta" to get a bluetooth tether working between my LG GT540 and my TF.

It only appears to allow the browser (and i think gmail) to work - but it's better than nothing.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newwonder01:
Recently I bought Quasidisk on iphone and kept on trying to create an ad-hoc network on Transformer and found the desire-adhoc app. But unfortunately I am getting an error message on the wifi perhaps it is not connecting.

Did anyone tried this approach to create an ad-hoc network on Transformer.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsingh2011:
Hi, I'm new here as I just switched from my iPhone 3G to the atrix. I'm planning on rooting it soon but I want to make sure I don't screw anything up. I'm used to the iTunes backup and sync features, so I was wondering how that works on android phones, the atrix in particular. If something goes wrong and I can't access my phone, how can I restore it from my computer?

Also, how do apps sync? If I restore my phone to factory settings but apps are listed as installed on my account, then it won't let me reinstall those apps, will it?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsingh2011:
Ok, I'm assuming there's no way to backup the phone without rooting. I was referring to something like making an image of the phone or atleast getting the basic firmware(like for the iPhone).

As for apps, if I get a new phone or wipe my current phone, I won't have to redownload anything right? Will it sync from the market?

But my data will be lost right (like game saves)? So I can use apps like Titanium Backup to that data right?

I just wanted to clarify this before I messed around with anything.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maledyris:
If you've wiped your phone, or get another phone, you can always download the apps you've purchased either from your phone or from a pc. They're linked to your gmail account.

Once you're rooted, you can use Titanium Backup. You can also use Tenfar's port of the Clockwork Mod to make what amounts to a snapshot of your current system via a nandroid backup. I've had to restore from that once after hosing my system. Works well.

You're either 100, 110, or 200 unless you got your phone on eBay.

Just wondering if anyone knows if you can by the individual clips for the genuine chargers rather then having to go and buy a full travel pack (http://www.htcaccessories.com.au/TC_P350.aspx) just to get the one I need.

P.s I know I can just go get a generic micro USB charger but was wondering so I could keep it all legit

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxkidxx:
dear fellow G2 users,

seek your patience & expertise to guide me on unrooting (i think i rooted?) my Desire Z, & reverting to my original ROM. have tried search Google & XDA, but got no clues where to pick up.

basically, my "rooting" involves installing the Superuser.apk (if you call that rooting). ROM is still original, & the only non-official stuff i installed was ClockModRecovery.

purpose to unroot is for my phone to receive the official HTC update.

would very much appreciate if the community here can point me in the right direction or guide me step-by-step.

thank you in advance.:D
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilostchild:
What method did you do to gain root? If you want try one of the custom roms? There is rooted roms that are updated to current and are close if not fully stock jus difference they have root privilages
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djfoo000:
I don't think you are rooted. If rooting is as easy as installing Superuser.apk we won't be hearing about phones that are unrootable.

Install 'Root Checker' from Market to verify if you're indeed rooted, which I doubt considering the steps you've taken to root.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deliriousDroid:
Yeah, pretty sure your not rooted if that's all you have done

Sent from my 'SilverBullet' HTCDesireZ running CM7
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxkidxx:
thanks fer the replies! much appreciate.

ok the root checker works both ways:

1) if i grant Root Checker access under Superuser.apk to verify if i'm rooted, it says yes i'm rooted.

2) if i deny Superuser access, it says not rooted.

how do i proceed on from here?

thanks fer your patience once again!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deliriousDroid:
So you just installed superuser, and then you where able to grant superuser permissions and flash a rom with clockworks? Did you buy your phone used by any chance? Cuz it boggles my mind how you could do that without a proper rooting

Sent from my 'SilverBullet' HTCDesireZ running CM7
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxkidxx:
hey there delirious,

i got it as a used phone with superuser installed by the previous owner. but that's about what he did.

the rom is still original, neither custom nor modified.

the clockwork is just the clockworkrecovery only.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deliriousDroid:
Well if you never rooted in the regular way, then it just doesn't seem possible that you have root. If you where to uninstall cloockworks and superuser than your phone should be the same as before you installed them. You could do a factory reset after uninstallng, then do a root check. After all that, you can feel same updating. Unless you have removed some system files. But I don't think you can do that without s-off

Sent from my 'SilverBullet' HTCDesireZ running CM7
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deliriousDroid:
But you should double check with the seller, just to make sure he didn't do anything else

Sent from my 'SilverBullet' HTCDesireZ running CM7

Edit: what does your phone say when you boot into recovery?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxkidxx:
i tried factory reset, the superuser still exists, so do the clockworkrecovery. this is what is preventing me from receiving the official updates.

it says clockworkmod recovery?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deliriousDroid:
Okay, you have to be rooted some way. Talk to the seller and see what he did. And in recovery, do you have s-off, or s-on?

Sent from my 'SilverBullet' HTCDesireZ running CM7
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deliriousDroid:
The more I think about this the more it seems your phone has had the visionary app's perm root option used on it. I have to stress that this app is not the most stable when it comes to perm root, and there has been lots of phones bricked from it, that might be why the seller neglectedto meantion it. I used it back when I first rooted and your phone sounds just like mine was. Superuser permissions but no s-off.

ok i screwed up & did a dumb move.

i followed this guide: www[dot]addictivetips[dot]com/mobile/how-to-unroot-t-mobile-g2-htc-desire-z-complete-guide/

it installs the stock_rom half & says failed due to file error.

upon reboot, it shows the T-Mobile G2 logo & stock Android.

where can i find the official stock ROM for Desire Z Asia?

i found this webbie: shipped-roms[dot]com/index[dot]php?category=android&model=Vision

but not sure which is the rom to pick.

alternatively, since i'm pretty much stuck in T-mobile now, could you guide me through on flashing one of the custom ROMs instead? or stock rom, whichever is easier.

much appreciate!

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxkidxx:
no worries, you are willing to guide me through custom rom flashing that's good enough =D

ok using the T-mobile G2 bootloader, it brings me to this. first line:

Vision PVT Ship S-Off

Hboot-0.85.0005

Microp-0425

Radio-26.03.02.26_M

eMMC-Boot

will this help to tell you if i have S-OFF?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deliriousDroid:
Yes, s-off means everything! It also means whoever sold you the phone lied to you... but that's okay, rooted phones are better:) but anyways, what kind of rom do you want to install? Take a look through the development section for the g2/desirez to get a idea of what's available. I would personally recommend cyanogenmod7. But it's personal preference really.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Pick the one that says "Asia", then HK = Hong Kong, TW = Taiwan, India = you can figure that out. Other Asian countries is WWE (worldwide English). As far as the version, 1.34, 1.82, etc. The higher numbers are more recent. But anything above 1.34 is not rootable.

But if you flash any of the official ROMs, you will lose root. ROM versions 1.34 or lower can be re-rooted.

If you only intent is to get the Gingerbread OTA, I'd say don't bother going back to stock. The OTA will be posted here when its released. And probably in a pre-rooted form soon after.

If you want a custom ROM, it depends on what you are looking for interface-wise (Sense, AOSP, MIUI), Froyo vs. Gingerbread, etc.

If you want a custom ROM similar to stock Sense, then Virtuous is the way to go. Its based on the Sense Froyo 1.85 ROM, but rooted, overclocked to 1 GHz (with other options available), and a few other cool options. But mostly stock beyond that.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxkidxx:
thanks Delirious and redpoint for your valued inputs!

redpoint: ah, didn't know stock rom has so much limitations nowadays. wanted the original ROM so that i can update my phone. since can't root now, might as well go fer custom.

Delirious: sure, i go with Cyanogen. kindly walk me through it. much appreciate!

a problem i noted though with the T-Mobile G2 (it was originally a Desire Z), i can't access my 3G or Wi-Fi. so downloading apps are out of the question.

i do have clockworkmod already installed if that helps, but its not the latest version.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxkidxx:
just an update, i managed to switch back to Desire Z using someone's Nandroid backup.

its still rooted, thought can you tell me how to check for the s-off thingy?

so i think i'm all set for flashing to Cyanogen (i think).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deliriousDroid:
Okay, first you check your phone for s-off by pulling the battery and then hitting the power and volume down at the same time. Gets you to your bootloader screen. Write down what it says there

Sent from my 'SilverBullet' HTCDesireZ running CM7
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxkidxx:
hey Delirious,

it put me back to the same bootloader screen:

Vision PVT Ship S-Off

Microp-0425

Radio-26.03.02.26_M

eMMC-Boot
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deliriousDroid:
That's good:) okay, ready to start. First thing you need to do is make a nandroid backup. Don't go any further till this is done. It is done from recovery. You can get there from the bootloader screen or from rom manager. In recovery, go to backup/restore menu, and hit backup. Make sure your SD card has plenty of space.

hey Delirious,

yup, backup done!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deliriousDroid:
Okay, then your ready to get flashing:) I highly recomend you do it yourself through recovery, you have more control that way. First go to this website and download the most recent CM7 Stable release http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=vision(i usually would recomend nightlies, but i have has isses with them recently), then go too this website http://goo-inside.me/gapps/and download the g-apps, it will be the top link that says cyanogen mod 7 universal (20110307 Universal (Link)).

Now reboot into recovery, factory reset, clear your dalvik cache(under advanced, clear your cache partitian. Then go to install zip from sdcard/choose zip from sdcard, then find the two files you donloaded, install cm7 first, then install the g-apps. reboot, go though the fresh start procedure, install your apps again. If you get some force closes, reboot back into recovery, and under advanced, hit fix permissions. Good luck, let mee know how it goes, or if you need any help. Also if your gps sint working i can direct you to a thread that helped me get mine going.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deliriousDroid:
I just tried the link I added for downloading cm7 and it doesnt seen to work, so i will try again.

the links are down :(

but i used this instead: http://goo-inside.me/cm/vision/nightly//cm_vision_full-77.zip

seems fine though.

everything seems a okay! including GPS!

what you meant when GPS ain't working?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
If it works, don't worry about it. Some people have had an issue where it never picks up the GPS satellites, while other have been fine.

But make sure its really GPS, and not the coarse location given by cell tower triangulation. If its coarse location, you will have a large blue circle around your location in Maps (signifying the location is approximate, often as much as several hundred feet), and Navigation will constantly say its waiting for the GPS.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deliriousDroid:
Not a problem. And by keeping your self updated, do you mean the nightlies, or the stable releases. You can always just check those websites i linked earlier or use rom manager to check as well.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxkidxx:
actually what's the difference between nightly & the normal CM?

Rom manager can check update fer nightly too?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deliriousDroid:
A nightly uses test pieces of code basicly that can have glitches, but you get the good stuff first, a stable release is not supposed to have any glitches or bugs. As for rom manager, only the paid version can find the nightlies for you. I bought it, but I still just use the website I linked earlier. I prefer to do everything through recovery
