lg730 tethering/ rooting

:eek:okay guys i figured it out.... if you have boost mobile like me and dont want to pay a penny more for tethering b./c the bastards now want you to pay $30 a month and it's limited and are frustrated w/ this phone... i guess this is sprint ip b/c they block me from registering to xda .... ALL you have to do if you don't want to pay for tethering for the LZG730zv8 and are lazy and don't want to pay more than $50 a month or load the lg730zv5 older version ... then Step 1.) Go to walmart and buy a "onn" or "on" brand usb synch cable it's about $10 even(i tried every other usb synch cable it DOES NOT work) yes i am telling you need this cable if you want to proceed to the next step... its a one time fee

Step2.) factory flash your phone clean....

Step3.) go into settings check allow unknown sources, go into development options check allow mock locations and usb debugging

Step4.) type in google " lg 730 tethering " it's the 8th one down from CNet ... (sorry would post all links and official drivers but xda won't allow it

step6.) Now you need the drivers for PC!! I do not know if lg website detected i was using windows and offered me the drivers for windows.... i only have windows OS's but you need to download the drivers for your lg730 from the official LG website

step7.) starting the tether(clockwork) app on your phone..... dont bother trying to download this app on google play or anything they block your ip b/c your not allowed to abuse sprint network ...... it just says this app is not compatible w/ your carrier ... believe me it is very compatible!

step8.) understanding how this program works w/ your onn name brand 4 ft "Oon" usb synch cable, well theres alot to describe, ummm i don't want to leave anything out .... once you load the drivers and install the .msi windows program on your computer you need to know what it does and how it will **** w/ your mind... it runs flawlessly for hours little slow but your running on a $45 phone now u can get these off ebay for... your boost mobile monthly plan costs more... so if the clockwork program on your PC says tether not connected don't worry, hit the Stop button go back on your tether app and click the usb thing until it glows Blue then go to your tether application on your PC and hit start... now it should connect if it doesnt click the blue tether button untill it tells you " are you sure you want to disconnect from tethering" then hit the stop button on the tether application on your PC... do that couple times until it connects then do the update depending on your Operating system click the button on the phone app and it will say updating PC... but it likes to say the version of tether application running on your PC is outdated.... don't worry about that .... your tether connection should be closed after and while it's updateing your pc supposably... anyways hit the stop button on your tether application running on your pc and RESTART your phone ... once it's booted up make sure data is active and start the tether app on your phone dont activate it..... start the tether application on your PC first let it run then click on the usb thing on the tether app on your phone.... THE TRICK IS to let the application running on your PC turn the app on your phone ON all by itself .... you may have to hit the usb looking thing to start the tether. Thats it..... i CANNOT stress enough guys how important it is that you get this Onn usb sync/charge cable.... i know it's gonna run you like $10 but anything less like a cable i bought for $4.88 will not allow you to tether using clockwork mod ... and who know it may solve a-lot of your rooting problems... like slow sd card mass storage transfer to pc.... well i hope my experience will provide free anywhere internet for potentially $45 unless you wana pay clockwork a $5 for unlimited after 15 day (psss... i'm prolly gonna use less than 30mb so i'm not worried):rolleyes:
