Hi,

I'm posting this here, mainly because it involves new ROM flashing.

I spent nearly a month "converting" my WFS.. ;)

So, I hope you'll find this helpful..

Follow the next steps:

1. First you have to unlock your bootloader

(Thanks to theq86 - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1432199)

2. Second install this stock ROM

RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_ARA_2.26.415.2_Radio_47.23e.35.30 38H_7.57.39.10M_release_262618_signed.exe - 158.5 MB

It's an Arabic ROM and it supports fully English.

The big advantage of this ROM is that it has "Right to Left" correction built in.

(Thanks to kasra_Qeshm. Original post - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1476701)

3. Next step is to install Hebrew keyboard. there are many options.. I personally prefer Keyboard from Android 2.3 (there's also a paid version)

And the Hebrew pack for it Here.

That's it!! You have Hebrew on your WFS!!

Some more goodies:

1. You might want to root you WFS - One Root is an easy and great tool for this task.

(Thanks to rezo609 - Original post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1678421)

2. "Bubble like" WildChild Messages app - This one is an add-on the require your phone to be rooted in order to flash it. You can download Here.

(Thanks to Tigger31337. Original post - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1652973)

3. BEATS AUDIO

(Thanks to apherio. Original post - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1587286)

That's it for today.. Hope you'll enjoy!

One last thing.. I only gathered the information and made some tests to see it's all working.. but if you find some of this helpful I think it would be nice go to the original posts and press the "thanks" button..

Cheers!

Maoz.
[HTC Wildfire S] CaptainMaki:
great to see how it works.. I thought it required more than just flashing. Anyway it's goot that I've got the idea to use the Arabic Rom for our needs.

anyway now I just need to figure out how to add darktremor support so I can use this rom with A2SD GUI and not worry about memory.

btw, what is the memory usage that you see with this ROM?
[HTC Wildfire S] maoz59:
After installation I had 119MB free internal memory
[HTC Wildfire S] KenAdams82:
You might have a problem running the RUU*.exe file since the wildfire's CID is not compatible.

I've found that extracting the boot.img and system.img from the rom.zip (found in window user's temp dir) and flashing manually is a good option as well:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img

good luck.

if anyone comes across the VMOBILE's rom (i've seen one with full hebrew) please shout out.

[HTC Wildfire S] CaptainMaki:
I've got the vmobile rom. the problem is that it doesn't support A2SD and you ran out of space pretty quickly.

i am not able to install any rom on this..

pls help..

[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdrc45:
That's what happens when the phone gets bricked, the bootloader gets damaged and you only get one line, the devices MID information. Did you downgrade your spl first to 3.xxx or below before trying to install rspl/hspl? Can you get into USB host mode? Press camera+volume down+power on, this will bring you into USB host mode. If you can get into USB host mode there is a chance you can repair the bootloader with the Goldcard method. Post back your results and we'll see what we can do to get it fixed for you!

I have tried using the built in hotspot, and my iPod seems to connect to it (puts a check mark), but it never gets the signal bars in the status bar, and doesn't actually gets internet.

I have also tried the newest version of wifi tether, beta 14 from their website, but it won't even show up as a network using that.

Does anyone know of a way to get wifi tether to work on jelly bean?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikeryder:
I have a Verizon Nexus with a clean install of Vicious v1 4.1.1 ASOP with the I515.09 V.FC04 Radio and the default imoseyon kernel. I cannot get either the built in wi-fi tether to work or the wifi tether app.

Built in wi-fi tether broadcasts the SSID, but when I attempt to connect to it from any devices they cannot actually connect to the wireless network.

Wifi tether seems to start successfully, but the amount of data never moves from 0.0kB for either download or upload, the SSID is not visible from other devices, and I hit "Show Log", I get this message: "Unable to open log-file. File does not exist!"

4g data and PdaNet for USB tethering is working fine, but is a suboptimal solution. I have been searching the forums here at XDA as well on the broader net and found plenty of people talking about having similar problems, but no solutions that have worked for me. Any help would be appreciated!

This is the same issue I am having. I'm going to try it via usb and see if it works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikeryder:
I use PdaNet, which works pretty well for my laptop. Wifi tether is much nicer for the laptop and enables access for my tablet also, so I would like to get it working. A lot of people seem to be having the same problem, but no solutions that I can find.

It seems people are all over the place with the wifi tether, and are not comparing apples to apples. I haven't read any posts where developer.google's wifi tether has functioned properly (at least for verizon). I'm on BB 4.1 latest and it still doesn't work - I haven't tried any of the other apps yet. The native mobile hotspot is the only option that's working for me (under settings->more...), i.e it broadcasts and my laptop will pick it up. I however, have not used that option before and have the same question others have posted: Verizon cannot tell you are using this option because they haven't touched Jelly Bean yet? Was really counting on this free option (right now) for the Nexus7...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] montysweden:
It works for me.

Yeah, it seems like wifi tether and the built-in hotspot are working for a lot of people and also not working for a lot of people. It is very frustrating because wifi tether is so convenient and it has been working fine on ICS.

I’ve been using the phones Portable Wi-Fi hotspot successfully since I received the phone last month with the original 4.0.4 build on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MadmanJay:
You need to check your phones APN Network setting and ensure they are correct for your carrier for wifi tethering to work. I had the same problem with my Sony x10 phone. Once I changed my phone APN setting tethering started to work fine and I was able to access the internet.

Google it for your carrier....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikeryder:
I checked my APN settings and they look correct for my carrier (Verizon). This may be a stupid question, but I thought the APN is configured by flashing the ROM, so flashing Vicious 4.1.1 for Verizon should result in a correct APN? Thanks for your help!

I am using a GSM Nexus - Stock, no Root. Just for the hell of it I enabled WiFi tethering and it is working??? Should it be? Don't get me wrong I am not complaining unless I am about to get a bill from AT&T for "Let see what this will do". When I was using my SGS2 I had to be rooted and then freeze some app like WiFi tether2 or something like that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] patruns:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dschreiber69:

This is a tad frustrating. My wife's HTC Radar can wifi tether perfectly to everything (T-Mobile obviously, and built in...). Yet my unlocked Gnex can't seem to do it... I'm sure I'm missing something, but I feel like I've checked everything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dschreiber69:
Not sure why using T-Mobile would hold you up. I was surprised that it worked without rooting the phone. I have always had to root in order to tether - but then I have never had a Nexus before either. Are you using a prepaid plan? Some guys ave posted that they had to remove the proxy server from their APN in order to get it working.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jntdroid:
Ok... running stock 4.1.1 - built in tethering works.

Running rooted stock 4.1.1 - built in tethering works.

Running wifi tether for root users does not work.

After running wifi tether for root users, built in tethering stops working as well (shows up, can't ever connect).

Nandroid back to pre-rooted stock 4.1.1 system, then root. Repeat above steps...

So I'm wondering if the wifi tether app is messing with some config files that are causing system-wide tether issues?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] metalmansam:
Hi to get tethering working again if you have a gsm nexus on rooted stock 4.1.1 JB and have installed & attempted to run the wifi tether for root users app from the play store you need to clear data & uninstall the app then go into settings/ more/ mobile networks/ access point names then hit menu/ reset to default then reboot your phone when its done... Now you can use the built in tethering in settings & only that for now! I cannot confirm that this works for Verizon/Sprint models but it should...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ]grimm[:
It seems like it might be because of something the third party ad-hoc tethering apps do to iptables rules. I saw the same behavior as you on my phone, I fixed it with:

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o rmnet0 -j MASQUERADE

This allowed both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth tethering to work again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bhihifi:
Running rooted Verizon GNex with the stock rooted AOSP Vicious V1 ROM downloaded from XDA-Developers.

I was at a customer site who had no WiFi and no Ethernet. Downloaded FoxFi and Wireless Tether, neither connected to the Internet, no joy.

After trying to run these, tried to run the built in tether. Computer could connect to the AndroidAP access point but still no Internet. I was spoiled, I guess, that most things just work with the Gnex. Memo to self: always make sure you have connectivity nailed down and verify that it works.

Returning home, I searched and came across jntdroid's post (THANKS!). He and jtgrimm (ditto THANKS!) apparently are right, WT for Root seems to alter something internal.

I did the following:

1) Uninstalled FoxFi and Wireless Tether for Root users

2) Ran Titanium Backup Pro, batch backup of user and system apps and data to SD partition

3) Re-flashed ROM using ROM Manager Premium (which cleared caches and Dalvik) I didn't do a nandroid backup only because I was re-flashing the same ROM.

4) Re-Installed Titanium Backup Pro from Play

5) Restored user and system apps and system data using Titanium Backup

6) Under Settings> Under Wireless & Networks tapped More...>Tethering & portable hotspot (tapped to check)

7) Tapped Set up Wi-Fi Hotspot then Show Password, made a note of it, then tapped Cancel

8) Tapped Portable Wifi Hotspot

9) Connected PC using the password and WiFi tether worked!

I can't address whether or not Verizon "knows" or not. I have one of the new Family Shared Data plans which allows tethering with no extra separate monthly charge, subject to the maximum data for the specific plan.

Having the paid versions of Ti Backup and ROM Manager made this easy, and nearly painless.

Similar SOLUTION worked for me.

1) uninstalled wi-fi tether

2) rebooted into recovery mode

3) cleared Dalvik

4) rebooted (loading the first time took a couple extra minutes - seems to reload all the apps)

5) use steps 6-9 above

wi-fi tether seems to have more controls, such as access control and logs of who is connected. hopefully these settings are still in there, but just not visible yet.
