Has anyone gotten a free wireless tether app working?

Wireless Tether for Root users isn't working
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dspcap:
I googled the same thing this morning and the way it sounds, no, they haven't. But a lot of people are working on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rhyno77:
I assume you must be talking about the gsm version? My vzw nexus worked out of the box. Not rooted yet though.

Settings/wireless & networks/more/tethering and portable hotspot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ihyln:
wireless tether for root users is being fixed to work with the BCM 4330 chip. Use PDAnet with usb tethering in the meantime.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Using it out of the box the built in app on Verizon you have to pay $20 / month for the service.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lcrkz0023:
GSM version works the same as what Rhyno said above....not sure if OP knew where to look

Edit: see post below..nailed it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
If you're on the GSM version, just use the built-in version. You can tether USB, Bluetooth, or WiFi Hotspot via settings menu.

If you're on the VZW version, you have to either run a custom ROM that doesn't have Verizon's tracking software on it, or wait for people to figure out what apps need to be tweaked/removed in the stock ROM to make sure you can use 3rd party apps effectively without being "caught" by VZW.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rhyno77:
Not up to speed on the gn, I guess. Coming from an aosp rommed thunderbolt.

Could vzw actually charge me 20/ month for something built in without notifying me first? Or just put me on some sort of watch list?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cam30era:
Actually the way it works is a VZW popup comes up when you try to feather and requires that you sign up for a plan before it will connect.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rhyno77:
Is everyone else on verizon having this problem? Trying to find the differentiating factors here...

I'm grandfathered in for unlimited data, and have used stock/app tethering on all my Android phones.

The vzw rep at the store couldn't activate my gn in store (using wife's upgrade from separate acct) so I had to activate on the web.

I was never given the message described above, it was just the same old stock tethering menus...

Different software revs possibly? Not sure... I updated to 4.02 yesterday, but I can't remember if I set up wifi tether before that or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rhyno77:
I imagine this is the same as everyone's, but just in case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Just check your account. If you're already paying then it won't pop up... I highly doubt they're letting you slide through. There's some kinda explanation as to why you're not getting the notification of the service.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rhyno77:
I'll check my acct and confirm again. I've never used the Verizon hotspot (or at least since my 2 free months after buying the tbolt, anyways). Weird.

---------- Post added at 04:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 AM ----------

Checked account, same as it has been since forever. Anyways, if I can help at all, or if anyone needs file info, a backup, etc.. just PM me. Otherwise I'll reply back to this thread if I ever do get any notification or charge on my account.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WR3NCH:
That is weird. I picked up my Galaxy Nexus yesterday from VZW. According to the salesman at the corporate store I picked it up from, VZW has not yet enabled the built in tethering on their side. He claims they are currently reimbursing customers that have tethering plans and have upgraded to the GN. It sounds as though, if you're paying for tethering it won't work.

He also said there is much confusion within the company's sales staff regarding the GN. At the time I picked up mine, he said they hadn't really received training on the device yet; or for that matter much info at all. So, this could all be wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rocketboy6885:
Just to clarify I was talking about the LTE Verizon Galaxy Nexus with a free tethering plan as an alternative to the one from Verizon for anyone who was wondering
[LG Optimus 3D] Tactics119:
Maybe our more tech savvy contributers could look into this more deeply?

According to this app (Voodoo CarrierIQ detector from the android market), it is still in the V21a E.O. ROM and in the kernel drivers no less!!!!!!:

[Nexus S General] ericcarboni:
So no need to wipe data?
[Nexus S General] buachaille:
Thanks. This is what I need. Will download later. Let us know when uploaded.
[Nexus S General] idelgado782:
Ohhhh no. I'm on AT&T. Not cool. :banghead:

Thanks anyway for the quick work of putting it together for everyone else. Patiently waiting to flash. :cool:

I love my Nexus S more and more everyday!
[Nexus S General] Indirect:
You need to wipe data (im about to get in the shower so ill modify op when i am back on the pc.)

[Nexus S General] al_madd:

a little bit confused when it come to stock rom + root
[Nexus S General] mike216:

[Nexus S General] hanged_man:
How much time is left ? although i own a Galaxy Nexus but id love to see ICS on my good old friend Nexus S
[Nexus S General] mike216:
Just flash in normal clockwork recovery, its pre rooted

BEST DAMN PHONE BECAUSE WE HAVE THE BEST DAMN DEVELOPERS!
[Nexus S General] buachaille:
Me too dude
[Nexus S General] nsx_23:
So just to confirm this should work fine on the i9023?

Can't wait.
[Nexus S General] Indirect:
You might actually have to install cwm again since i only threw this together but ill refine it later.

i didnt know there was a branded ATT ns.. perhaps i have a Canadian NS that works on ATT ..its unlocked..
[Nexus S General] got2best:
when some1 downloads would they be willing to upload a mirror? Because there is going to be allot of people downloading this
[Nexus S General] invd:
Just a short hint for the ATT users here. A solution for using the right baseband was posted over here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20378557&postcount=299
[Nexus S General] hay112:
I'll help host it when I get it
[Nexus S General] solesonfire:
So sprint users could flash this?
[Nexus S General] breakingspell:
This is assuming people don't have CWM Recovery. That makes it a lot easier in the long run.
[Nexus S General] TrueYears:
Arghhh lol I tired on CWM and didnt work

anyway if you guys want ICS you should check out NexusBeam HD

Pretty smooth and stable

i am install it over my ics now. not following your step booting ok. but still not rooted
[Nexus S General] Perka:
remove link pls
[Nexus S General] Arkaknio:
Here you are a 4.0.3 backup for CWM. Is stock (untouched) and non rooted. You can install it unzipping it in your SD root directory, and then boot onto CWM and select "Restore" inside "Backup & Restore" menu.

Tested on i9023

.

DON'T USE IT ON NEXUS S 4G

http://www.multiupload.com/H0TCP2UPHX

Enjoy!

P.D: Do a backup before install this.

P.D.2: Do this will wipe your current installation.

P.D.3: You must use ClockWorkMod 5.0.0.0 or higher.
[Nexus S General] fromthestars:
Much Appreciated!

a few silly questions.

Im paranoid about bricking. Restoring this backup really has nothing to do with my radio right?(im on i9020A)

This will obviously just leave my cwm recovery intact?
[Nexus S General] Arkaknio:
1- Works on i9023 (tested).

Don't use it on Nexus S 4G

2- Is the STOCK version so you will lose all data including root and for sure, recovery (u can reinstall CWM again using fastboot and then removing the script that reinstalls the original recovery on every reboot)
[Nexus S General] Si_NZ:
My phone now doesn't turn on at all after flashing the rooted ics zip you provided ealier. Black screen. I've heard a lot of this before, but is there a standard procedure to recover from it? Since it can't be detected by either adb or fastboot, I doubt odin will work?
[Nexus S General] SalsaForte:
A lot of confusion here...

Can I suggest something, one person who have 4.0.3 rooted with cwm should do a backup of is rom and post it here in a new thread with clear instructions in the first post.

We are in ics frenzy here! :-D
[Nexus S General] gavingreystone@gmail.com:
Pretty sure flashing a backup image of someone else's phone is asking for trouble. Just saying :)
[Nexus S General] deerxmoose:
Working like a charm, thank you so much man;)

now it's time to sleep, my duty is over!
[Nexus S General] Soy_Filipo:
Are you using an i9020a or an i9020t? Does it work in both models?
[Nexus S General] Arkaknio:
Using i9023, don't install it on i9020 versions. Is not safe for now
[Nexus S General] bruciato:
You have saved my ass boy!THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!:D
[Nexus S General] Arkaknio:
Please delete my quote on your comment, is not safe to install it on i9020 versions for now.
[Nexus S General] gavingreystone@gmail.com:
Keep an eye on Drew Garen, he tweeted he has one compiled, which would mean OK for all Nexus S versions....4G? I dunno about that.

[Nexus S General] Indirect:
No Sprint 4G nexus S's can flash this as there is no compatible radio for it. Wait for Nexus S 4G to get the official update and I'll do the same thing.
[Nexus S General] loztboy:
+1 for mirror, link isn't working.
[Nexus S General] solesonfire:
Thank you sir
[Nexus S General] Indirect:
Also guys, I don't have a GSM nexus S to flash this on so if it works for you (which it should since I just added a few files and then changed the updater script) let me know if it's confirmed to be rooted.
[Nexus S General] tominater12:
Do I need a new radio to flash this?
[Nexus S General] Indirect:
It includes the new radio.
[Nexus S General] mike.b93:
how did you root it? When i flash su 3.0.3 it says i have legacy binary. Trying to update them it wants to install busybox and root acces. and at the root acces step it failes...
[Nexus S General] Indirect:
Guys, the upload will be finished soon. Just wait! Jeez! I'm sorry that I can't afford anything better than DSL at this moment! >.>
[Nexus S General] daeshawn:

I had it install the latest su binary from CM9 euroskank kangs and the app from it too, so it should work just fine.
[Nexus S General] casca:
Lol ****ing awsome..u got a love high tech :)
[Nexus S General] benrees21:
I just lost root on my NS by updating the binary! So if i flash this will i then gain root again?
[Nexus S General] mike.b93:
sorry for being this annoying to you, but how?!? XD

Haha i laughed so hard :D

People are children.. really!

it is actually sometimes too funny to read the posts of people who themselves don't read the other posts....or more often the op....they just see the title....
[Nexus S General] waterface:
User from the other thread: "Keep getting download unsuccessful. What gives."
[Nexus S General] xmRipper:
Does it replace the recovery to stock one?
[Nexus S General] sinik420:
Lol mine was in response to the guy saying it didn't work... *sigh*
[Nexus S General] Perka:
Rooting should just be:

Add su binary in /system/xbin

Add Superuser.apk in /system/app

Add busybox in /system/xbin/

set_perm(0, 0, 04755, "/system/xbin/su");

set_perm(0, 0, 04755, "/system/xbin/busybox");

symlink("/system/xbin/su", "/system/bin/su");

set_perm(0, 0, 06755, "/system/xbin/busybox");

run_program("/system/xbin/busybox", "--install", "-s", "/system/xbin");

or?

[Nexus S General] breakingspell:
You'll probably have to flash recovery again using fastboot.

so for it to work if I got this, we need to flash the sort of "faulty" rom + the su zip? is this it?
