wired tethering to Microsoft Surface RT

Hey guys, how are you? I'm brand new to this thread - this is my first post and I happy in advanced to get to know you all as well as learn from you and with you! Mostly the latter I am sure..

I have been doing a little research on how to do a wired tether with my Galaxy S4 and I was surprised when I realized that I should have started looking on my phone before anything because it was right there in my phone, built in!

Settings > more networks > tethering

Now, my real question here is how can I do a wired tether from my GS4 (Sprint) to my newly purchased Microsoft Surface RT?

When I plug my phone into my Surface RT the network and sharing center (I believe that's what it would be) does not pop up. I am assuming that this is because this is only the RT version of Windows 8 and not the full version.

When I click on the networks on my Surface and disconnect from my home network there does not seem to be any other way of accessing a network through tethering to my knowledge.

I would really rather not Root my phone. I know it's great and all but in my experience with things like Apple products; "hacking," "jailbreaking," homebrewing," "moding," - or whatever you choose to call it always ends bad for me. I've never had a bricked device or anything, it's just that devices that I root always seem to become less efficient, laggy, and just not as quality of a product after modification. Although this is likely due to my lack of technical knowledge, I actually love the S4 and would not want to compromise it. Just the same, my Surface RT which I have only owned since Black Friday is quickly becoming my baby so I don't want to damage it either.

Even if I were to consider rooting my phone in order to wirelessly tether, I do not have a full version of Windows, or any home computer for that matter that I could use to root my phone.

And like most people, I'll be - for more appropriate use of words - "darned" before I pay the $20.00 per/month fee for wireless hotspot.

Basically, I bought my Surface for school. And I am not home terribly often because I work a lot and what-not. So I would like a way of getting schoolwork done online from outside of home.

If anybody knows how I could do a wired tether or any of the likes from my GS4 to my Microsoft Surface, I'd greatly appreciate your knowledge! I did search the forum for some time, but did not find anything with specifications asking primarily for GS4-to-Surface tethering.

P.S.

FoxFi and PDAnet are not in Windows Store, of course ):

Thanks so much everybody (:

I recommend Carbon ROM. The nightlies (4.3) are stable as f**k, there are lots of customization options, and the battery life is killer.

You can download the latest nightly here: http://download.carbon-rom.com/getd...tly/CARBON-JB-NIGHTLY-20131117-1408-d2att.zip

They aren't working on the 4.3 nightlies much anymore, but are putting their efforts into a stable 4.4 build. There are other ROMs that already have 4.4 (I've testdriven a few and meh), but this one is so good that I'll wait till they release one

HTC One bricked after 4.4 Update

I have an AT&T HTC One which I flashed to GPe 4.3 awhile back and everything was working fine.

However, I regrettably and stupidly updated my HTC One to GPe 4.4 via OTA update and now my phone is bricked, everytime I start up my phone it freezes on a blue screen with weird glitches. The only thing I have access to is my recovery which is TWRP.

Can anyone help me out and unbrick my phone?

[Q] IMEI, S/N - Not a problem?

Hello friends,

First of all thank you all for existing. This community is one of the best things that happened since android.

Anyways,

I have Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE (I9305) on 4.1.2 (Baseband I9305XXBMH2) with JZO54K.I9305XXBMR8 Build Number (Dunno if this is relevant. As a matter of fact I have no idea what it is).

Anyways, a while ago, I was being all smart-ass with my phone and trying to do things which I wasn't supposed to do and I end up with having zeros for my IMEI. After very long and sleepless two weeks of tweaking, poking, rooting, booting, rerooting, rebooting, reinstalling and every other possible re- I can think of I finally managed to get my IMEI back. At the time, I got "No network" thing going on because my Serial Number was all zeros as well. That got solved too and now my phone works perfectly well. HOWEVER, Not during, before or after all this process there wasn't any hint of NV Data in my efs folder. (My phone is T-Mobile, unlocked, bought in Austria). I have a friend who bought the same phone and his phone is missing the NV data as well. What I mean is, IMEI is fine, S/N is fine, phone works perfectly well, but there's no NV -ANYTHING- in the efs. Only stuff there are:

* .Files folder

* Bluetooth folder

* DRM folder

* FactoryApp folder

* IMEI folder (the only thing inside this fella is mps_code.dat)

* wifi folder

00000000000.authokcont

gyro_cal_data

h2k.dat

wv.keys;

And that's it.

Sorry for dragging it this much, here's my question:

Am I able to somehow restore something that didn't exist before, but I know it should be there (The nv things (and yeah, I didn't back it up before I f'd up my imei))

And:

I'm kind afraid to install any custom ROM or any update now (I can't wait to get my hands on 4.3 or KitKat tbh) because the nv data is missing, because I'm afraid it might mess up my phone. Will it mess it up?

Thank you all in advance :)

Hey guys?

Is it even remotely possible to restore whole memory dump block (.raw) using some flashing tool? I backed up mmcblk0p24 on my Galaxy S4 mini for nvdata backing up issues and want to be sure i'll be able to restore it.

To answer questions that might occur, no, /efs partition doesn't contain full nv_data. Also, there are no memory blocks that contain it. I just decided to back up my whole phone, but I'm not sure I'll be able to restore it.

Also, since it's a whole phone backup, I doubt restoring though adb is a solution, only flashing.

[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
That is assuming he has a Samsung device which was never stated. You'll have to find the factory image for your phone model and flash it in fastboot using ADB. Do a search in the forums and you should be able to find a link for the stock firmware for you device, plus instructions on how to flash it. Or use Kies if you have a Samsung.

[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
I don't think it will if it won't boot. Turn your phone off, then hold down: volume down+home+power till your phone boots up. If you get into download mode, you can flash the stock firmware using Odin on your computer. Search the forums for the solution. This problem has been addressed several times.A search will give you a link to the firmware and Odin downloads, plus instructions on how to do it.

HTC First stuck in bootloop

Hi,

I successfully rooted my HTC First and flashed a recovery (CWM). Than i tried to flash Cyanogenmod (Stupid i know). Now the only thing that i can do is go into hboot, and go into CWM. If i try to reboot in CWM it just goes to the little facebook symbol and says "This build is for development purposes only. Do not Distribute without HTC's written permission.

Yes flash through cwm as its a zip file. You can try a dirty flash and if it bootloops wipe data clear cache and reboot. If its still boot looping then full format of system.data and cache then flash ROM/gapps and reboot should sort out any boot loop.

Android Revolution HD 5.1 Google Edition

Hi,

I'm not 100% sure this is the correct place to post this, so apologies if it isn't

I have an HTC One (sense). It is htcdev unlocked, S-ON, rooted and has the latest TWRP (2.6.3.3) installed

modelid: PN0710000

cidnum: HTC__001

I tried to install the above custom rom, and it installs fine, but goes into a boot loop - usually at the point where the initial setup is about to ask me about wifi.

(I did a full wipe in aroma before installing)

I tried wiping cache/data/dalvik and that didn't help.

I've restored the standard sense 5.5/android 4.3 rom which has got me out of the boot loop

I would quite like to install this rom, so I wondered if anyone could cast any light on the bootloop? I have read a post that suggests that the radio must be updated and the phone must be s-off, however the rom itself suggests this is optional.

So my questions are:

1) Do I have to install an updated radio?

2) Is there something else I haven't tried that I should try?

3) Do I need to go s-off or can I just flash appropriate firmware

4) If firmware, how can I tell which of these might help: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2182823 (I can see its a 401 variant, but I'm not sure which)

5) Would I be better to set 'SuperCid' and use a RUU instead

Sorry, I realise thats a lot of questions, but thats partly because I'm not quite sure what is the right question!

Thanks for any help
