Wifi tethering and $30 Unlimited (5GB at 4G) plan

So it looks like there are a few options now for the Exhibit II 4G as far as roms are concerned. Has anyone had success with the wifi tethering while using the $30 Unlimited (5GB at 4G) prepay plan from WallyWorld? Just wondering as I'm looking at this as an option.

Thank you

It's hard to tether now that T-mobile is becoming stricter. I say the only 99.99% foolproof way to tether is to use clockwork mod tether app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.tether&hl=en

I've heard freezing tethering manager allows you to use tethering.

I've tried a couple different apps, one would not work with WPA, the other would not let me turn on Wi-Fi after done tethering. Friend recommended FoxFi, that works like a charm for me. It's free in the play store. I have the $30 plan and unlocked phone.

[General Questions and Answers] ToStymiedBoar:
I have the same plan and have used Barnacle Tether with the stock ROM. You have to freeze the TMO tethering manager. I used Titanium Backup to do that. they latest Rebel Rom build has a built-in tethering app and the TMO app has been removed. I still added Barnicle Tether for redundancy and I like that it displays the up and down data stats. I have used both a laptop and tablet with them.

I have to add that Barnacle shows up as an ad-hoc connection while the built-in shows up as infrastructure. This may be an issue for those using a kindle fire to connect. I've read that some had problems using ad-hoc connections.

Just in case you or anyone else don't know, since TMO has rebranded this phone as the Galaxy Exhibit,a new thread has been started. You can find it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1686384
[General Questions and Answers] airwickkk:
Yeah, freezing it works flawlessly. If you purchased their tethering package (if using this phone on contract) you still couldn't use mobile data on the phone while its broadcasting, but freezing it not only allows you to tether but let's you use the phones data too.

Question

I am very new to the android operating system and am eager to learn. I have the Exhibit 2 4g (prepaid version), and I have already installed several apps. I've rooted the phone with ZergRootRush and I have used titanium backup (Free) to backup user apps- not sure if that was important tho.

Anywho, my question is how do I flash the file to swap the internal and external sds? I have already downloaded the file, and I need to know what to do next. Also- do I need to do a nandroid backup to do this-- if so, how do I do this? (Tried to put into reboot, but I don't think I did it right).
[General Questions and Answers] stab244:
To do a Nandroid or flash that zip you need to install CWM. You should be able to flash that zip through the stock recovery which you can access by holding the volume up while turning on your phone and releasing the power button and volume button about 3 seconds after seeing the Samsung logo. Afterwards, reboot back into recovery and make a backup. You don't have to but it's nice to have a backup in case something goes wrong. After making the backup, there should be an option on the first screen of CWM that says install zip. Click that and choose to install from internal sd or external depending on where you saved the file. Install and reboot and see if it works.

Also, if you have trouble entering recovery with the method I have above, try downloading an app that reboots directly into recovery. One that I know works is Quick Boot. It should make your life a lot easier.

I can't get the update to go at all on my rooted Exhibit II. I accepted the update on the phone and it turned off then back on, but nothing changed,

Next downloaded latest version of KIES and connected via USB, KIES offered firmware update and I accepted. A few things downloaded and then the firmware progress box popped up on the PC and it's been at 0% for over 8 hours. Both the progress box on the PC and the phone screen say to not to disconnect or turn off.

I finally gave up and closed KIES. The phone seems to work OK but if I start KIES it offers to complete the update, and again, nothing changes.

What can I do to get this done. I'm very much in the dark about these kinds of phones so I'd need detailed instructions. Pointing me to where I can learn more about flashing, rerooting, etc., would be very much appreciated. I've tried poking around but find I quickly get to the point where I don't get what's being said. Thanks.

I am unable to unbrick my phone with the above method. I seem to have the right drivers since I can connect to adb and I can connect to Odin. But I can't get it to flash anything. I don't have clockwork recovery, and probably USB debugging wasn't turned on when the phone failed. Odin says it can't open USB serial port, code 5.

It's been a while since I messed with this phone so I'm not too sure about the history but here goes starting I think last November:

1. rooted (some 1 click method, can't remember if it was zerg or something else)

2. stayed on stock a few months

3. Tried Exquizit ROM

4. Bought a new phone, gave this one to my dad

5. Dad messed it up somehow. No idea what he did. My fault for giving him a rooted phone with clockwork recovery. I was able to put the stock image back on, and this time left it unrooted. Did not install clockwork recovery. I was sure it was back to original factory condition. I think I was wrong.

6. Dad got an over the air notification for the stock update (or so he thought). Since I thought he was on stock, and he was getting a notification for the stock update, I told him to go ahead. Now I'm not even sure if that's what it was. Whatever it was, it failed and the phone was soft bricked again.

7. I somehow saved it using adb almost immediately after I connected. I have zero idea what I did. I don't know, maybe I just rebooted through adb? I can't remember. I was just so happy it was working again. I think I was wrong and it never worked right after that though....

8. A couple of weeks later, parents brought it over again and tried to connect to my wifi. It wouldn't connect, suddenly was going in to some sort of boot loop where it booted up completely, but then errored out before being able to get to settings. Can't remember exactly. I didn't have time to mess with it, so I just kept it charging.

9. A couple of months later...today...I try again. First it would boot up, no error message, but would freeze as soon as I hit settings. Then after repeated reboots, eventually it wouldn't even get that far, it would cycle between the samsung logo and the Exhibit 2 4g logo. (This was before adb/Odin or any attempt at flashing anything).

I can still connect it to Windows 7 64bit, and adb detects it. I can also connect to Odin, and it detects it. But I can't get either the above stock image or another to flash. I've spent all day on this and can't figure out what I'm doing wrong, it shouldn't be this difficult. The only thing I can think of is USB debugging is probably not turned on, and I can't turn it on. So now what do I do? I can't get into fastboot mode, and can't figure out if there's anything I can do through adb without clockwork recovery...

Somebody please help me, but be very specific, I know just enough to be dangerous, but still very much a noob.

Thanks

Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G doesn't do anything in recovery mode

I have installed the cm10 with ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.1.9 in my Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G phone. It boot up and everything works OK. Then I try to make an backup of the my cm10 4.1.2, I select the backup and entering a new name of android4.1.2 then performing backup. Then in the half way, it pop up a message saying that not enough storage then back to the recovery mode. I think it not have enough space it might due to I already have one system backup in my phone for the version of v2.3.6. I did not pay much attention at that time and reboot it and it work OK. Even today, it is still work but when I boot to recovery mode try to delete the backup of v2.3.6 and create a new backup of v4.1.2. I can use up or down volume key to select any time but won't do anything by pressing the power button. It won't go anything except moving up or down the items list by moving the up or down volume key. Now action will performed by pressing the power key. I have to either take a battery out or press the pwoer button long to get out of the recovery mode and boot normally. It still can boot normally and functioning. Just the recovery mode does nothing.

Awesome! It worked!

Ok, here's what I did:

Reinstall windows xp from scratch

plugged in the phone in download mode. It didn't recognize the phone at all.

let winxp search for drivers - no drivers were found. (So this step did nothing.)

install the drivers in stubbakatt's link

find the unrecognized device for the phone and uninstall it, so windows would re-detect the drivers

restart

looked in the device manager and saw that the drivers were working

run Odin 4.43

follow stubbakatt's steps from post #55

it flashed ok! Note: for anyone else who wants to do this, it didn't wipe the user data. I haven't checked extensively but the basic stuff, like wifi settings, were preserved after this process.

So what's next? Heimdall. I want this same process using heimdall so anyone (not just windows) has access to the factory firmware. That means contributing new code to heimdall to work with the Exhibit II.

Sorry, this might seem like a delay toward getting a custom ROM, but we need tools like Heimdall. I think it's important.
