a 30second search of putting 'free tether htc inspire' into google would have given you the answer you need. This has been asked over and over and over. You are technically breaching your agreement and if you get caught that is on you. Here is a link in the market for a simple to use app. Next time please search before making threads.

ok

Lol sorry but you really think I didn't do that like a month ago. Really I have read and re-read every topic even close to covering this topic. One topic saying yes you can the next saying it didn't work. Figured would find someone nice enough to say yes you can do it, and here is the topic area to look. Thank you for the link

Update, followed your link and it went no were. Google free tethering again and came up with the same thing. Someone saying they have a way to make it work. Then a bunch of posts after that with people saying it worked for a bit but not now. I'm just looking to see if it can be done, what has and has not worked and if I am right and I need a custom Rom.

I tether my HP Touchpad about an hour a day and have never got hit with the email from AT&T.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gage0727:
thanks for the info

Was wondering do you guys use the cable, or set up a WiFi way. I don't plan on doing any downloading I use a program that looks up info for me on the net. Maybe some Facebook on the night ****. Once again thanks for the help with this very cool.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tyler79durdan:
I dont have to DD an app to use hotspot because my dev built it in, which most roms do... but if you must stick with your stock rom... (thumbs down):(:confused:

I used "open garden" wifi tether on a few different phones requiring that functionality. Its one of the best out there IMHO

P.S. If you like the stock feel and stability? of your stock rom, but are ready to open your phone up to a brand new life...

My suggestion for a jump off point(ROM) is '

COREDROID

'! I dont rock it anymore, but it was imo the best, next very close runner up would be '

AndroidRevolution

'...

Both of those have built in hotspot, plus a WAYYY faster UI than stock. Just My Opinion. good luck!
[HTC Inspire 4G] jimcasey1768:
I have never tried to tether using stock rom, however almost all custom roms I have used have the ability to tether. Maybe try a custom rom, I like IceColdSandwich v 4.2. Good luck!
[HTC Inspire 4G] gage0727:
Thank u very much that was what I was really looking for. I will start looking for custom Rom that might work for me. I really need to learn how to back up the Rom I have so I can save it so I can flash it back to phone if need be. Thanks again all for all the help with this.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tyler79durdan:
Start by looking for a recovery like "cwm recovery"... within the Inspire forums. Follow the directions exactly and read them ALL first, then reread them before flashing. Once youve achieved a recovery, you'll have opened yourself up to try ROMS i.e.Try coredroid for a few days then perform a backup of coredroid, then flash AR and run that for a few days.

As it seems in your OP, youre kinda used to a stock ROM and both of those are based on stock, with enhancements, and bloatware removed... MUCH FASTER and responsive.

So just start with one thing at a time - Recovery Time!!!

p.s. once youve installed your recovery, you should backup your current config before going to the next step - ROM!!! Practice good backup skills, and you'll limit your headaches considerably.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gage0727:
hello, thank you all for your replies. I am really wanting to move up to custom roms. Prob is I do not know how to back up my current rom, and how to check it to make sure its good. I am looking for the info and what app to use to get the best back up file. i want to be sure I know how to back up and also how to go back to the back up if need be before I move forward. If someone knows of a guide to do that stuff or has any good information could you pm me please. thanks a bunch for the help.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wulamoc:
as for backup between ROMs the two major ones are Titanium Backup and MyBackup

I used the EasyTether app a few times around last Christmas. Today I got the email from AT&T about tethering. So I guess now we can't use EasyTether?
[HTC Inspire 4G] struff:
I went to my local store yesterday and had a rep examine my phone to be sure there was no way I could tether. She noted it in my account. Today I got a txt msg saying I was tethering. So I called the 866 number in the msg and the phone rep told me they can now tell any time a computer or any other device is plugged into the phone and any time a tethering app is used. So according to her logic, we can't even use our computers to charge our phones.
[HTC Inspire 4G] GuestK007:
no, she means they can detect the tethering. not the connection itself. u can still charge and xfer files and sync lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] struff:
*I* know that. But she apparently doesn't. She told me that ANY time ANYTHING is plugged into the phone now counts as tethering. Even if NO apps are being used. I know better than to believe that lol.

[HTC Inspire 4G] ST3ALTHPSYCH0:
This seems a good place to ask. Of course, the ref with whom I spoke claims that their system is flawless, but is there anyone here who kows AT&Ts systems that can speak as to the reliability of their inspection system?

The reason I ask, I was informed that "the data connection from your phone was opened to another device several times within the past 2 months." I used it once, I'm afraid that something looks like tethering to their system, and I'll end up with a more expensive capped plan rather than my unlimited plan (truth is that I've only gone over 3 GB once of which I'm aware, I just don't like the concept of caps.... or more cost).
[HTC Inspire 4G] gage0727:
I finaly put a custom rom on my phone and was able to hotspot and tether my phone to my laptop. Only used it to load one page of xda just to see if it worked or not. I never got a text meassage or phone call or anything. I also use a bunch of bandwidth on a daily bases. e-mail, web games and such. I had to re-lock my phone sending it to htc to get repaired, when i get it back it will be re rooted and custom rom and tethered again. Will let you know what happens then. lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] GuestK007:
They will constantly improve the system. the more people that find ways around it the more they will invest in closing the holes. they didnt used to have the ability to see but more and more is pointing to packet inspection and TTL's on them to see if theres another device behind the phone. it's not just an apn setting anymore. it's best either to not tether and breach contract or just pay the $15 a month and use it. Getting around it now, could change next week or a month or tomorrow. companies will do what they can to protect their services from being taken advantage of, and with the number of users that are stealing tethering data, that is a considerable cost. do i think its fair that i need to pay $15 to connect my pc to phone for just a picture here and there, no, but the consumer always wants everything for free.
[HTC Inspire 4G] struff:
I think their system is flawed. I hadn't used EasyTether in a LONG time when I got the email from them about tethering this week. I went to a store and had them inspect the phone to ensure that I don't have any way to tether so they added it in my notes.

Next day I got a txt saying that I am still tethering so I called the number in the txt and told the woman that I am not able to tether even if I want to and that the store verified that in my notes (which she did see). She claimed that ANY connection to a computer now (i.e. charging and file transferring) can be detected by the system and misconstrued as tethering, and I did charge off the computer the night before getting that txt so to me it almost seemed possible that their systems could be inaccurate like that. But then she said when I use bluetooth to stream audio from my phone to my car that is also counted as tethering and I don't buy that at all.

I asked her if they're just threatening me because I always use a ton of data and she said no because I am unlimited and I can use whatever I want as long as I am not connected to anything else.

And now yesterday I got snail-mail from them about tethering. Which I have not been doing. In any way whatsoever. :confused: Makes me wonder if they have access to my Market transactions and see that I once downloaded EasyTether last year. So frustrating. :mad:

Help with rooting.

I need help rooting my HTC Inspire. I have tried download the advance ace hack kit from this site and it seems to be down. can anyone help me out? thanks?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ST3ALTHPSYCH0:
I use my sdcard via USB as a mass storage device CONSTANTLY. I'm pretty sure this will see a lawsuit if they are considering that to be tethering AND they pursue this.

I would probably take the 5GB + tethering plan at my unlimited price, but NOT for a premium (especially since they are throttling after 3GB now anyway)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
Not polite to hijack a thread especially when it has nothing to do with the thread topic. Just download using the non-USA link, it is not down.
[HTC Inspire 4G] struff:
I do that too. Or I should say that I used to...I stopped doing it after talking to the rep on the phone out of fear. I can't see how/why they would count that as tethering but after getting email, txt, and snail-mail, for now I am not taking any chances just in case they do have something new going on. And I totally agree that would and should be a lawsuit if that is what they're doing.

I couldn't do that. I go way over that every month (I have no idea why and the rep I see at the store can't figure it out either).

But anyway, I am curious if any current EasyTether users are getting warnings too.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
Ok guys. First the People that you talk to when you call ATT are dumber then a noob with an Iphone. They have no idea what they are talking about outside what their manual says. ATT has been nailing people for tethering when they use alot of data under the "Fair Usage" Clause in the TOS. If you use more then 5gb of data they say you are tethering.

They can not detect if you are swapping files by USB cord. They can only detect if data is sent over their network. Who ever said this needs to be fired on the spot.:D
[HTC Inspire 4G] struff:
I always presume that we know more than they do. But knowing how much they're cracking down on this, I wouldn't put it past the company to come up with some flawed method of detecting connections.

I have always used tons of data ever since I got my Inspire in March 2011 (as well as a warranty replacement I got in June 2011) and I never got anything about tethering from them before this week. I never even got a throttle txt msg until two months ago (even though I kept going over and around the end of last year I hit 10GB and was never notified or throttled). The rep I saw in the store and the rep I talked to on the phone this week both told me that just because I am an extra high data user, that alone would not trigger the anti-tethering messages (which is the way it should be but who knows what they're actually doing in reality).

The store rep told me that since she inspected my phone and put the notes in my account, they will not change anything on me. But the phone rep the next day said that even though my account has been noted by both reps, it wouldn't matter because it is an automated system that changes people's plans. :confused:
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wulamoc:
I've tethered for the past couple of months off and on without issue.

I am a LOW data user overall (tethering is for web-data entry around town and occasional web surfing and occasional RDP to my home desktop)

I have very few programs installed on my laptop.

I close certain programs before tethering (dropbox, skype, gtalk, etc)

I've not had any issue with ATT regarding this let alone notification from them.

My main goal is to not stand out... if I am one of many in a school of fish, the sharks will never care. However using 5+ GB in a month or OTHER things that stand out to ATT will likely flag your account for prolonged inspection :(

answers

k first i would like to delete this thread if I could it was a stupid question because i did not know better at the time. I have since flashed a custom rom to my phone and was able to tether. second I agree they can not tell if your phone is connected to a laptop or any thing else. But think about it, if all of a sudden your data usage jumps ten fold their going to think something is up. I wanted to use the tethering option because I use a special program on both my phone and my tablet to read ecm codes off vehicles, some times I need a bigger screen then my phone can provide. That being said I am on my phone all the time any ways so it will be harder to tell for me, unless I start downloading big files. I have tried some different software to help tether and they do not work with att stock rom. If you want to tether you must flash a custom rom. Thanks again for all that added to this thread,
[HTC Inspire 4G] struff:
Not to get too off-topic but I have been still trying to figure out why I use so much data. I found My Data Manager app and have been using it to look at where I am using so much. If the app is accurate, the phone itself uses a BOATLOAD of data all by itself. The biggest offender is "DCS Service" which has used 296 MB in the past five days. Google Voice has used 16 MB and the preinstalled Facebook app (which I don't even open or use because I prefer the website instead) has used 15 MB.

Everything else so far isn't a big deal aside from the common sense things like Pandora and Google Music which not only use their own amounts of data but also use the identical extra amount of data as "Streaming Media" (in other words if I use 55 MB of Pandora, it also uses 55 MB of Streaming Media, which seems like double-dipping to me). I also didn't realize that I am averaging about 10 MB per day in web surfing and 5-7 MB per day in Gmail and almost 100 MB per day on Instagram (yikes! that is stopping soon for sure).

But anyway, getting back towards the original point, if they're simply saying that someone is tethering just because of high amounts of data being used, that's really not fair considering the things that can't be stopped on some phones. I mean, we buy these phones which have bloatware to begin with and the bloatware uses data without our knowledge, plus that behind-the-scenes data use for DCS Service. That alone could turn out to be 1800 MB this month for my phone even though the only auto-sync items I have selected are the built-in weather updates and Gmail and Calendar and Contacts (I don't use any of the others). So I can't even begin to imagine how much data I would use if I did indeed try to tether.

Here is the stock based theme for the people who were asking for it. It comes with the verticle 1% verticle battery mod as I had to use my stuff from my phone to make it work.The only thing I could not get included was the stock Lockscreen drag icon that darkens the whole page as you unlock the phone, I tried everything I know to get it to work and this has been what has had this delayed.

IF YOU FLASH ANY OF THE 1% BATTERY MOD AFTER THIS IT WILL CHANGE A LOT OF THE ICONS BACK TO V5 STYLE

THIS SHOULD WORK TO GET YOU BACK TO A STOCK THEME AFTER FLASHING ANY OF THE UPDATES ALSO, SO JUST UPDATE AND REFLASH THIS

Includes:

all stock based icons, 5 bar signal bar, drop down toggles from V4 and back to blue colored, new icon for reboot in power menu to match stock icons.

DOWNLOAD StockTheme.zip

To install wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, install zip from sd card then reboot

Here is the download for the OG 1% battery that comes with V5 for those that asked for it

Has anyone found a version of DSP manager that works on any of our ICS ROMs yet? I've tried the one pulled from CM9, even flashed it as a system app but that just keeps FCing, and then I tried a couple other versions that're supposed to work, yet they improve nothing. I heard of a few people in some older threads getting it to work on an ICS mod, but when PM'd no one had replied. Any insight or a link to a working apk would be very helpful, thanks! I absolutely love the echo the stage setting of DPS Manager gives, and it's the only thing that's keeping me from moving to ICS.

Hello, i am a newbie and i want to flash a ROM for my EVO 3D, i have hboot 1.50 with S-ON unlocked Bootloaders and Rooted. So, i will flash a ROM for my firmware and confirmed it works and no need to flash Kernel, but when i go to FLASH GUI app it only shows Kernel Image and Recovery Image... I want to flash a Full ROM, which of the options do i need to choose? Thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] patrao_n:
You cannot flash roms through that. You need a recovery such as twrp
[HTC EVO 3D] luis4ever:
I have recovery.img in root of my sdcard which i used for install su-2.3.6.3.zip for root and unlock bootloaders with htcdev.com
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
Taken from the guide I posted in my OP of the Flash Image GUI EVO 3D thread:

Edit: 2nd question posted same time I replied to 1st question

If you boot into the recovery, use the same method as used for the su-2.3.6.3.zip for the ROM .zip file and it will load.

The confusion occurs if the ROM contains a kernel. If so, Flash Image GUI can be used with the guide I posted above.

Alternative methods involve using fastboot to load the recovery, such as: fastboot boot c:\recovery.img

If that doesn't answer your question, feel free to post back! Thanks for the support!
[HTC EVO 3D] luis4ever:
This is what happens:

1.- Go to open flash GUI and starts.

2.- now kernel is preselected and chache and dalvik too.

3.- i press browse button select meanromv2.17.651.5.zip

4.- it says is a too large file for recovery or kernel image.

5.- it asks if it is a valid ROM zip file and it can locate kernel modules etc.

6.- i press yes and it says extracting zip file: meanrom.zip locating for kernel modules, peleas be patient, etc.

7.- extracted zip file in Application data.

8.- kernel continues preselected and cache too.

9.- what is the next? Press flash? And then? Reboot lnto recovery and navigate to zip file and press power button to install? Wipe data?

PD: As far as i know the kernel from the Stock and this ROM is the same. Thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
Steps 7 and 8 are where more detail is needed.

Although, all this confusion might be avoided by answering one question: Does this ROM contain a kernel? If not, you can skip using Flash Image GUI and directly load the ROM from the custom recovery, since you mentioned it is compatible with stock kernel you're currently using.

If this ROM does contain a kernel then answer to all questions in number 9 should be Yes. You'll know more about the kernel included in the ROM as Flash Image GUI adds three lines of text above the Flash button detailing where the kernel was located inside the ROM .zip file and what type of kernel setup the ROM is using.

Hope that helps!

I think this requires the source for the device, and I don't believe that has been released yet.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clouse2013:
You are correct. Asus must release the source code before a dev can work on overclocking. I read somewhere that Asus must release the source code within two weeks of the update and who knows how long it will take a dev to get everything working properly. Hopefully it will come soon though. I miss my overclocked cpu too.

Thanks to both of you. I do recall hearing about how long a company had to release source code, I thought it was 30 days. Regardless, there are some great dev's that hang around the TF101 XDA forum so when they get it, I'm betting it won't be long.;)
