[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rvpartsguy:
you can use amon_ra with rom manager ..... it gives you the option of installing amon_ra
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hungry Man:
ROM manager has always said "Needs Clockwork mod" for me...
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lemcott:
I used clockwork recovery image with the rom manager for a little while, mainly just because it was easier then flashing an image manually.

after a couple times of nandroid backups not working, and the talks of how it bricks the eris, I sucked it up and installed Amon_Ra's. never had a problem with it.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saintdice:
I get the same. Maybe the option shows up with the paid version'

Eris running Eris Lightning (CyanogenMOD build)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hungry Man:
I had the paid version.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sjflowerhorn:
and you could flash roms using armons recovery via the interface in rom manager? i think thats what they were getting at. not just flashing the recovery.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mike300:
Hi,

I have the G2 Touch hero on t-mobile. It has been unlocked. It currently shows as ROM version 2.73.405.5, Android 1.5.

I want to start using on 3 Network, I have their internet / phone / text package.

I'm very new to this, so please can someone help me and point me in the right direction, as I would like to know the following;

1. How do I upgrade to android 2.1.

2. How do I get the 3 portal stuff to be on the phone when I switch on each time, as I would if it was a 3 phone. In other words switch on as on 3, not t-mobile.

Many thanks for your help.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
Use BTDAGs guide linked in my signature to find out how to install custom ROMs.

As yet there are no 3 customised 2.1 ROMs.

You can get the 3UK customised 1.5 ROM in update.zip format from here...

MoDaCo'S Stock ROMs + radios in update.zip format for GSM Hero

Or just use any custom 2.1 ROM and search "3 uk skype apk" and "3 uk MSN apk" for those two apps,... not sure if there are others you may want/need?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mike300:
Hi ddotpatel,

If I don't use a custom rom, because I find it difficult to do, can I just get an "official" 2.1 upgrade for the phone via t-mobile or 3 network. Which would I need, as its a t-mobile phone, with a 3 sim?

Thank you,
[Hero, G2 Touch General] polakscot:
Now Im not 100% on this.. but would the t-mobile phone not tell the update server it needs the t-mobile update regardless of the sim thats in it?

.. for example.. Ive got an unbranded hero.. with an orange sim.. but I got the unbranded update pushed through to me.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
Indeed that sounds about right to me,....

There are no UK branded TMobile or 3UK 2.1 ROMs yet, they always take longer to be released. If you dont want to use custom ROMs, and are happy to NOT have root access, you can run the official RUU .exe filefor 3UK from [ROM] Official HTC Hero RUU ROM + Radio Links . This will install android 1.5 (3UK customised) and have your phone set up for updates.

WARNING,.... You might not be able to use custom ROMs ever again once updated to official 2.1.
[Droid Incredible General] djorijun:
I have over 30 Incredibles, 50 EVO's, 90 Hero's and 90 Moto Droids and it seems as though on the Incredibles we seem to be having sync and mail stripping issues over EAS.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Basically when the client reply's or forwards an email, the message comes back stripped. Also there have Exchange issues with syncing although from my understanding this is to be fixed with an update coming out soon. The same update the EVO received today from what I've read.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
My AWS Nexus One has FRF83 on it, and doesn't come with SIM Toolkit (Stk.apk). I've tried various apk files and various ways of installing, and none of them seem to work. I rooted using the recovery method, bootloader still locked, and I'd like to stay on stock ROM.

Any tips?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Saturn2K:
This post is now irrelevant, Alex put these commands into the main program. See second post for links.

I figured out how to get it fully working. Big thank you to tonyb486 and canteenboy for figuring out that you need to disable adb and usb mass storage for tethering to work. That only left the problem of disk mounting not working after you are tethering. Here are two scripts to get the whole thing running smoothly and without a problem.

First, if you haven't already, install android-wired-tether. Next install GScript Lite (on the Market) which will let us automate toggling the USB function switch.

Create a new script with SU enabled and use this as the code.

echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/msm_hsusb/usb_function_switch

That command shuts off usb_mass_storage and adb so everything is disabled and ready for Wired Tether to come in and do its job. Your usb_function_switch will look like this after running the command.

usb_mass_storage:disable

adb:disable

diag:disable

serial:disable

ether:disable

modem:disable

nmea:disable

When you are done tethering, use this command to re-enable adb and usb_mass_storage:

echo 3 > /sys/devices/platform/msm_hsusb/usb_function_switch

If for some reason you don't use USB debugging (adb), you can use this command to turn on usb_mass_storage by itself.

echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/msm_hsusb/usb_function_switch

For those of you new to GScript, you can place shortcuts to scripts on your home screen. To simplify my life, I put them in a folder with Wired Tether so I have everything in one place. It's not an elegant solution, but you won't need to reboot your phone to get SD card mounting to work again. Perhaps someone with more knowledge of GScript can write some code that will automate running the first script, starting Wired Tether, and then running the last script after it notices that tethering has stopped. (Or better yet, get these commands into the actual program itself.)

(Optional)

For completeness, if you use any of the other usb functions listed above, you can use other 'echo #' commands to find the right combination. They don't toggle individual settings, but rather represent entire combinations of settings. I think around 32-33 it cycles back to 0 (everything off), I didn't have time to figure out if there is a pattern. You can find out what each number does by using another script to read out the switches.

cat /sys/devices/platform/msm_hsusb/usb_function_switch
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Saturn2K:
Huge thank you to Alex C. Hofbauer. He implemented these commands into the program. Now the program works flawlessly (or I assume, I haven't tested it yet).

Has anyone figured out how to get this to work on Froyo? I get a kernel unsupported error when trying to run it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] XevoX:
Same here, I'm using netarchy's 4.0.3a kernel and SteelH's stock Froyo RevE.1 ROM.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] striker012:
I have stock froyo on my evo and use easythether, it works perfect, all you have to do is set it to debug mode in the settings, install the app on your computer and when connected set it to charge only.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dalstrs:
The problem with that is having to install stuff on the computer. With wired tether you don't have to install anything on the computer.

I'm running the same kernel on evio rom and it's working fine for me...

Sent from my phone.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] davidlightle:
I've been able to make this work on my stock kernel, rooted FroYo Evo, so this is indeed possible and I've narrowed it down to what is necessary. Please star/follow issue 23 in the Google Code tracker for updates.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] EindhovenOne:
Unsupported Kernel message...

Hello, all. I'm running Fresh Evo 3.1.0.1 and King's latest kernel and I get the unsupported kernel message. When I try to ignore as is suggested in post 24 on the Google code page for the wired tether, I get a FC once I click to start tethering. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. -E
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] davidlightle:
Hi EindhovenOne, I responded to you on the issue tracker for Wired Tether, but I'll respond here just for some others to know the situation.

I found a fix that worked for me on my stock, rooted FroYo Evo and I coded the change and sent Harald a patch. He incorporated the patch and did the build for Wired Tether for me to test, which I have done (and it does indeed work for me, but does currently have the unsupported kernel dialog*). At the same time, though, it is listed in the downloads (you have to select all and then search), but this is in beta state for the changes (hence the deprecated tag I believe).

* I have fixed the unsupported kernel message and sent Harald a patch on this as well, so when he finds time to build it, that should be corrected, too.

So back to the "it's not working" portion, since I'm not running anything but stock (ROM and kernel), my system won't be the same as everyone's. I have no problem with other variations of ROMs and kernels (Evo's and non-Evo's) trying the 1.3 APK, giving feedback, and I'll try to do what I can (and someone else can step in if more suited than me even).

If you do run into issues, you can tag them in the issue tracker, which I try to follow frequently right now. Also, most importantly, if you can provide as much information as possible (what ROM and kernel you're using, a LogCat run just after the error occurs, any other pertinent information we can use to diagnose the problem, etc.), that helps tremendously in tracking down the problem and identifying a fix.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] superevilllama:
Is there a way we can find this patched version of android-tether? It is no longer attached to the first post. Also, the version I download from google still says incompatible kernel. It would be awesome to get wired tether working for the EVO
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] davidlightle:
The beta-in-progress version 1.3 is located here. It still warns about the kernel currently but you can ignore it (simple lapse in patching that as well at the time). It works perfectly for me (starting and stopping), but there are a couple of issues outstanding right now that I'm working through with the users.

If you do run into a problem, though, just let me/us know through the issue tracker preferably, but you can also contact me directly (here, or my email via the issue tracker).

PS: I have patched the kernel message already, but I don't have write access to the project yet and I don't have the build system in place to handle the native code just yet, so I have been handing builds off to Harald who graciously has done the 1.3 so far for me. When he has time to do the one including the kernel warning fix, I'll post again with an update on that.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] LAYGO:
Ok, I no longer have a use for wired tether & would like my 4G back. Going to try the Undo Fix flash. I'll let you know if it works on my end. Sorry I've been out of it lately.

Note, in your terminal instructions, you don't indicate to start via "su". I couldn't execute any commands to mount until I did su.

I no longer need wired because of 2 things:

- After 5yrs without internet of my own, I finally got Uverse connected at home. 12m down!

- I bought a tiny usb wireless adapter on the cheap
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] scottspa74:
@ selders59,

The only thing you need on your pc is the driver that's in your HTC sync folder on your SD card already. Install that driver onto your pc, flash the wired tether fix zip, oh, and of course you need to install the Android wired tether 1.4 apk on your phone. It's either earlier in this thread, or at the Google code site (also linked earlier in this thread).

David may have pulled the wired tether fix zip because it disables 4g. Only way to get back that I've found is nand back to a point from before you flashed the tether fix zip.

To get runnin on fresh, you need to rename the libnativetask.so that's already cooked into fresh Rom for wireless tether(I believe its in /system/lib, I forget, but check back around page 7~13, there's much talk of it, or check my previous posts).Rename to libnativetask.so.bak using root explorer or adb if you're familiar with that (I'm not)

@LAYGO

nand back is the only way I've found to restore 4g. I tried all the zips.

@ davidlightle

Again, let me know what info you need, and what state you need it in, and tips on how exactly to get it, and maybe I could help somehow. Also, on xda thread for virus ROM, he has a zip called android usb tether, I don't believe it's android wired tether, in case you wanna look at it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] davidlightle:
Hey all, I'm out on a business trip and won't be home until late Sunday evening but thought I'd drop a message to update everyone.

So I'm in one of those 4G areas I'm normally not near, so coincidentally I was able to try 4G for the first time. I was pretty under impressed so far but then again I had a weak signal so maybe that's why. I was getting marginally better than 3G, but on par with my home DSL connection.

And the more important note hidden in that is that with my "wired tether fix" (using a symlink for ip to toolbox), I'm still able to use 4G! So, that's some positive news I think. I'm not 100% sure why scottspa74 is having 4G break with only the "wired tether fix" (I'd really like to think it's something else small being done around the same time or something), since that would also explain why reverting the fix (the only change) didn't "fix" it -- if it was broken by something else instead of my change. I'm not saying that's the case, but it would definitely make me feel better.

I haven't had a chance to look over the kernel or AOSP source any deeper yet but I'm hopeful still. In the meantime I'm leaving things somewhat on hold for new "wired tether fix" downloads. The reasoning is that no matter how large a warning you display, some people will still bypass the "make a backup" advice and then have issues when things don't work and they can't go back. So I'd rather be safe and not be the source of problems. I'd prefer to just get a true, solid, stable, working fix mainline into the wired tether app, but that will take some serious time for me to get into the nuts and bolts of it all. Hang in there. In the meantime, my simplest solution/advice would be to use Wifi tether while connected via USB for power. I know the battery heating up is a concern so it's not a long-term solution, but hopefully I can have that at some point in the near-future.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] LAYGO:
I flashed the fix & I was unable to even CONNECT to 4G where I've known to have a strong signal before. My issue before was connecting, but not routing. Now it says "connecting . . ." then unchecks for to even start it.

I should restore a nand . . .
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] LAYGO:
Ok, scratch that . . . my 4G is working again. I've updated my radios/PRI 1.77. Thanks for the effort David.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] sheldonbotha:
Hi

I've been eagerly monitoring this thread.

I rooted to 2.2 Froyo with netarchys ROM (HTC OTA Froyo 2.2, *FINAL*, build 3.26.651.6 (Rooted) Odexed)

Sooo, I have v1.4 installed of Wired-Tether, I'm in Salt Lake City that has a pretty strong 4g signal, especially here downtown.

I flashed the fix (SignedWiredTetherFix.zip) and my tethering worked perfectly on 3g, I never bothered to try 4g as its such a battery hog.

So after reading all of this, I started up 4g, it connected with 5 bars.

I proceeded to open Dolphin HB browser and surf, I just got connection failures.

I rebooted and tried again with the same results, I had a valid connection+ip from sprint.

I then flashed (SignedWiredTetherRestore.zip) and started the phone up, my 4G connected yet again with 5 bars and this time I could surf perfectly.

I'm running the revision 0002 hardware of the Evo.

Just as a FYI that scott was not the only one to experience this kind of behavior.

Thanks for you efforts, its very much appreciated :)

Wired Tethering not working over 3G

Anyone having problems when tethering over 3G? It will work for me 4G but not 3G.

Fresh 3.3.0.1

Radio 2.15.00.09.01

Wimax 4.6.2.2v26023
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jester95:
Expanding my search

So is anybody using the new radio (2.15.00.09.01) and/or the new PRI (1.77_003) with any ROM and is successful using android-wired-tether?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ProcessorHog:
Exactly the same problem here. I'm running stock rooted rom and stock kernel, PRI 1.77, radio 2.15.00.09.01 wimax 26023.

Latest WIRED tether stable (from the sourceforge site) works great when I have a 4G connection and gives me nice and fast speeds. Wifi tether only used to give me around 1 to 1.5mbps.

But it just won't connect on 3g. The laptop does not get an ip address, and the Wired Tether app does not show that anyone connected to it. The laptop knows that there's a network connection because the NetworkManager app starts its animation and when I pull the usb cable, it says "Network disconnected". ifconfig does not show an ip address while the phone is in 3g. When it's connected to 4G, I get the notification on the phone that the computer has connected, and ifconfig returns an ip address on the computer.

"ip route" and netcfg commands on the phone terminal in both modes return similar data - usb0 is up in both cases, and the route information seems to be correct. While in 4g the gateway is a 10.something ip address (that's on Sprint's end) via wimax0, and while in 3g it shows a valid public ip address as the gateway and the interface is rmnet0.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] davidlightle:
Hey everyone! Sorry that I haven't been around very much lately; work has been busier and busier and doesn't appear to want to let up. I just got back from a business trip in time to turn around and go back up in a couple days.

I haven't had a chance to dig in at all in the meantime, but I still want to do my best once I get a little more free time. My wired tether continues to work for me (no timeout issues, works on 4G, about as good as I could hope really, so I'm confused on others' issues still).

Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm not dead or MIA, just preoccupied temporarily. Feel free to shoot me messages or if someone else wants/can step up, that works, too.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jester95:
I think the issue is linked to the PRI.

I spent half my saturday flashing back to previous roms which worked previous to Fresh 3.3.0.1. Actually had to first flash to one of the Sprint Lovers first ROMS (Android 2.1 back in June) (an all in one PC136IMG.zip file) so i could get the PRI to say 1.33. From there i incrementally upgraded with not luck at all. My "gut" feeling is that the radios/wimax/kernels flashes work successfully while the PRI flashes is just changing the digits/version or maybe it cannot be reversed.

I'm so shocked that more Android users are not experiencing this.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] saturatedfat:
So it appears that I deleted my backup from way back when in august before I did this mod... Any way to undo the tether fix and get 4g to work again?

Basically when I turn it on it says connecting...then disconnecting and Repeats.

;(
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] scottspa74:
Man, I wish I knew what to say. I don't know of a way. The people most involved and most able to help would be davidlightle and V_lestat. Maybe try PM'ing them. Also, I would check the 'issues' page at the Google source code page for wired tether. The 'undo wired tether fix' may work for you, it has worked for some. I don't know if it's still posted here, around page 7 or 13, I believe it was. If not, I can get it to you, but not til tomorrow (uploads to xda from android browser don't seem to work - irritating), but tomorrow I'll be around a computer. Also, josh_H was very involved here, briefly. You might also PM him. Good luck. Let me know if you need the file.

nice no more Kernel error, just FC directly!!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] superevilllama:
App stays open with no errors for me so far. When I connect to the pc via usb it asks for a driver for android phone. Is their a different driver we should be using for this? it doesnt seem to want the adb drivers.

thanks!

EDIT: found driver

http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...sfycCw&usg=AFQjCNFPBAB_cRlzYkOvnl40WGdvis3Dig

the driver sort of works but says connected at 425mbps? and I still can't browse. It obtained an IP address on the desktop but thats it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] davidlightle:
Have you tried using 1.2 or 1.3? Did those FC for you? Trying to isolate when the FC was introduced.

Can you provide some information on what ROM and kernel you're running, and also a LogCat if at all possible?

Yeah the driver I use is just the on located here, so the tetherxp.inf for XP users.

I believe the 425mbps could be related to the fact that it's actually a USB connection (still not the 480mbps I would have expected instead).

Is your phone's data connection to WiFi or 3G? Which ROM and kernel are you using?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] superevilllama:
I am using 3G data. Using stock 2.2 rooted deodexed rom with 4.1.6 netarchy which apparently supports it. I tried this on two computers, vista and xp. Vista didnt require a driver but no change in speed. I seems like the only data being transferred is the IP address and no Internet.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] davidlightle:
Hmm, you're not the first case to say it connects but no data transfers (or does transfer but slowly), so I'm going to investigate it, but I'm not able to reproduce it myself yet.

If you're savvy enough, can you grab a listing of the iptables on the phone? (iptables -L) I'm not sure if possibly something is happening with your firewall(s). Do you run any other firewall on the PC (aside from Windows Firewall)? Any anti-virus software?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] superevilllama:
The only thing I could find was my sprint IP when I ran that command. I disabled all AV/firewall software when I was testing.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] fua1:

No go for me on 1.3 or 1.4

I got XP 32bit with sync (so no driver process required), running rooted stock.

Every time I get a "Limited or no conductivity". IP is issued and the phone gives a "connected" notification, but can't pull any data and no web pages load.

I'm wondering if it's worth getting rid of HTC Sync.

Any suggestions?
