Works beautifully with stock rooted DInc! Thank you!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jakontil:
can a blackberry, which isnt compatible with ad-hoc connection get connected?

because my PC can run just find, but my blackberry device couldn't find the SSID at all

thanks for the great work anyway!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] samwathegreat:
Glowskull:

That sounds rather bizarre.

My best suggestion is to re-download all the pieces individually to rule out corruption, uninstall the wireless tether apk, and just re-install everything over again (kernel, then /android.tether/fw_bcm4329.bin then wireless tether apk. Let me know if this changes anything.

Jakontil,

We have 2 blackberries, and they both work fine tethered to the incredible. Start the wifi tether program, then check your log and let us know what it says.

Good Luck

Hydra Kernel works perfect

I just tested with hydrakernel Undervolt and overclock v0.8 and works like a charm the Access point mode, also i had to manually create the android.tether folder and put the .bin inside but now it's working, thanks for starting this thread and encouraging hydra to include the new AP, thanks man!! =) The only problem i've found is sometimes after using WPA2 it says "your phone is in an unknown state please reboot" and there are 2 icons to start and stop tethering i reboot and it works, hope that helps maybe you can update the original post now, thanks in advance man! =) great work by the way!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dawynkoop:
Has anyone had an issue with this version of wireless tether when trying to cook it into a rom? Every time I try to cook a rom with this built in the app keeps force closing. I've tried multiple ways with multiple kernels and keep having the same issue.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] phikai:
Has anyone tried this on the new 2.2 leak? Since this is an older kernel will it cause issues?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] criDikal:
No AP or WPA2 on 2.2 leak at this time.

Consensus seems to be that 2.0.2 (Ad-hoc) is the latest working version on 2.2.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] compnird:
Doh! One feature I used more than anything else is gone now. :( If you use this, don't do the update to FroYo yet... Anyone have a fix to make this work on the new leaked ROM?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Mr. Spontaneous:
It may require a new kernel, and I don't think one can be compiled until HTC releases the source for it. That may not come until a few weeks after the official 2.2 rollout.

That being said, that's a worst-case scenario. Some enterprising hacker may get things working.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] partizan81:
Official word from the Harald (android-wifi-tether dev):

"AP-mode requires the option "CONFIG_BCM4329_SOFTAP" compiled into the kernel (for HTC devices with a broadcom bcm4329-chipset).... it's a kernel- and not an app-related issue."

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=461
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xstahsie:
Thank you for this. Works 100% minus the camera/camcorder are not working. Just black screen.

Although someone mentioned that the leaked OTA contain the AP feature and simply upgrading Wireless Tether .apk would be enough. So, i'll just restore from that NAND backup.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TrailBlazer31:
Well I must be one of the lucky ones. I have 2.0.5 pre 3 working with AP mode on leaked 2.2......

Logs confirm AP mode.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] htcoveblue:
Can you connect another device to it? When I run it, it looks like everything is working but my laptop doesn't see it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
Same here.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jasonb1985:
and your computer (or other device) can actually see it and connect to it?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] enkrypt3d:
You guys know you don't have to go through all that right? Just do this:

Go to phone > hit ##778, hit edit mode, then put in the password of 000000 and scroll down to M.IP Default Profile, then click on "DUN NAI" And edit it to make it look like this: <123456789>@vzw3g.com instead of <123456789>@dun.vzw3g.com

Of course you want <123456789> to look like your phone number not 123456789! :p:D Then hit menu, commit changes and it will ask you to reboot... then say yes, and wireless tethering works great. Enjoy! :D:D:D

Of course this requires version 2.2 and the latest radio firmware!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kentoe:
That's not the point of this thread. The point of this thread is to change it so that it broadcasts in AP mode and not in Ad-hoc. That's for making sure your data usage isn't logged through your other DUN NAI account, plus that method can also be used in 2.1 and with the stock radio firmware.

AP mode + WPA2 = good and lots of devices can connect with the additional security

Ad-hoc = Kind of buggy with some devices and lacking wpa2

Ad-hoc mode is the original mode that came with the previous kernel. This new one enables the ap mode and wpa2
[Droid Incredible Android Development] enkrypt3d:
Can you explain how VZ would track something like this? I just did the tweak above, how would they know if its being tethered? And how do I know if its in AP mode or ad-hoc? I tested another phone connecting to this and it was pretty fast over 3g... thx
[Droid Incredible Android Development] BlueWyvern:
is there a modified kernal for froyo to give this to wifi tether yet?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
Not that i know of. Since the new kernal source wasnt released yet, we cant do anything with the leak.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] UndergroundWire:
OK, this worked fine for me before when I was on 2.0.2. Since then I've upgraded the radio, and upgraded to the Froyo leak. Didn't like all the bugs in the Froyo leak so I reverted back to the original radio and back to the 2.1 software. Essentially I did a clean install today.

My phone is rooted and followed the instructions on the first page. I still have the android.tether folder in my microSD Card with the appropriate bin file (which was used in 2.0.2, I'm assuming nothing has changed for that bin?).

I launch the tether app (2.0.5), go to the logs and everything is correct. However, on my laptop, I can see "AndroidTether" but it won't connect.

What am I missing here? Thanks.

P.S., I may not post here, but I do read everything on the Incredible forum. Great job on this and everything else that people have managed to do with this phone.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] TrailBlazer31:
after further investigation......no lol

I cant get IP address to work either (deleted pre3 and installed 2.0.2). 2.02 shows up as great signal, but will not connect for some reason. Tried repairing IP, and would error out.

-Update-

Got 2.0.2 working. Didnt realize I was missing android.tether folder. Inserted fw_bcm4329 and tether.apk and now it works no problem.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dnoyeb:
I don't think people are realizing what you said here... with enkrypt3d's method you don't install the market WiFi app at all... you use the preinstalled 3g hotspot app instead. Works very well... as an ap and with encryption.

Sent from my Droid Incredible
[Droid Incredible Android Development] scott8357:
I have the same problem here...OTA leak all logs report good start, no visability from computer and 0 upload on wifi app
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xstahsie:
Ok, so without using the supplied patch to enable AP, Wireless Tether (latest available version from Developer's Google page) doesn't work--It simply does not broadcast the Wi-Fi.

If I install the patch to enable AP the broadcasting of Wi-Fi does work but camera doesn't work.

Any suggestions?

I'm using the leaked Froyo w/ Sene UI.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] HolyGrail:
When you do this method, will this refect the "Domestic Mobile Broadband Connect Data Used"? In other words, will this make the usage go up?

When you use the regular wifi tether app, the "Mobile Broadband Connect Data Used" never goes up, only the "Domestic Data Used" does.

I'm curious if the wifi hot spot, is connected to this, if so it will go up. This is how Verzion checks your usage using the 3G Hotspot. So if you ativated it, is it possible still coming out of the broadband connect data?

(I asked this question different ways, to try to better explain the purpose of my meaning.)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dnoyeb:
when i go into my verizon all i'm seeing is the "domestic data used" that even shows up... where would I check the "mobile broadband connect data used"? online or would it show up in the my verizon app?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] HolyGrail:
It's online, click " view usage". Should be below "domestic data used".

I'll put up a screen shot when I get home. ( Which is what I should have did in the first place....dumb)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] the337:
i just went to the website for the app. did you see that there's been an update 2 days ago? now there's wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre4.apk

what changes are there? i tried to find a changelog but i guess maybe i missed it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] johnnybags:
pre-4 doesn't work with the .32 kernel from the froyo leak.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] the337:
yeah. i'm not using the froyo leak though.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Mr. Spontaneous:
The "patch" you're referring to was actually a recompiled Eclair kernel (.29), IIRC. You're on FroYo now and have a .32 kernel. By pushing the AP fix for 2.1, you essentially downgraded your phone. Hope you kept a backup.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xstahsie:
Yeah, I made sure I did a NAND backup prior to applying the "patch"... but is there anyway to get AP using Wireless Tether while keeping the Camera/Camcorder working?

And 2nd Question, some people mentioned of a "stock froyo" working with this patch, but what is this "stock froyo" versus the "leaked stock froyo"?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xstahsie:
samwathegreat, When you say "If you install my kernel on the leaked ota, it will break the camera because of the new radio and 720p in the leaked ota - so don't try that."

What other Froyo OTA is there besides the leaked version? Could you please point me to a non-leaked OTA so I can use your kernel?

Thanks.:D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xraystyle:
Works great, thanks!

No problems with rooted stock 2.1.

--B
[Droid Incredible Android Development] samwathegreat:
xstahsie:

This tutorial is ONLY for 2.1 roms BEFORE the 720p / mobile hotspot leaked OTA. If you are running the 2.1 OTA that includes 720p recording and mobile hotspot, this will still work without applying the kernel I posted.

Wireless tether will NOT work in AP mode in ANY of the latest leaked froyo builds. It may appear to work, but it is in fact not broadcasting, so you can't connect. You have a couple of options:

1. Use wireless tether 2.0.2 in ad-hoc mode

2. Modify the settings in the included 3g mobile hotspot such that it works without paying verizon an extra $20 bux a month.

The problem / reason we can't compile a kernel that supports ap mode for these roms is that HTC has not released the source code. The older kernels are incompatible with the latest roms. We will see more development in this area when the source code becomes available.

Good Luck.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] xstahsie:
Fully understand now. :) Thanks for your reply.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DeeBG:
The PSP does in fact support this type. If you are using an older custom firmware for homebrew support I would at least update to the latest (which AFAIK is 5.00 m33-6 and 5.50 GEN D4). You may have to enter it under just plain WPA but it does work since I've been using WPA OFW and CFW for years with WPA2.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] scarfoot:
worked like a charm! Great work!!:D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DeeBG:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list

Is it just me or does wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre3.apk support WPA2-PSK but wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre4.apk only supports WEP? I am not using the OPs kernel, but Hydra v3 (I don't know if that makes a difference, I will switch kernels and see what happens).
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Gimpeh:
This method worked out well.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] UndergroundWire:
Issue Resolved

Thanks for pointing out there was a newer APK file for this program. Works like a charm now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] enkrypt3d:
Anyone confirmed that the method I posted incurs charges?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] HolyGrail:
Been waiting for confirmation also. Anyone know using the 3G Hotspot method makes the circled area incur data?

The wifi tether app comes incurs data from the normal "Domestic Data Used" right above the circled area.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] enkrypt3d:
I think the mobile broadband connect is when you actually plug the phone into the pc....... not sure if it counts for the 3g hot spot mode..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] HolyGrail:
Some random user pm me saying he thinks 3G Hotspot uses it. So we still need a factual confirmation. :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Gimpeh:
Holygrail, I've been using it for the past three days and just checked and usage is zero.

I also noticed tethering with this method uses much less battery than previous kernel hack methods.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] HolyGrail:
Sweet. Thanks Gimpeh.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] HolyGrail:
Just ran a speed test for 3G hotspot and wifi tether. I'm getting really slow results 3G hotspot. Anyone else?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] dnoyeb:
mines the exact opposite... 3g is way faster.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] SR3TLAW:
help

Heres my problem.

Im running skyraider 2.2 and everytime I install wireless tether my phone wont stop saying "preparing phone storage". How do I get rid of this!

Also,

with the 3g mobile hotspot hack will I have to pay for it after I change the "dunvzw3g" entry(i forget what it was exactly)

thanks

[Droid Incredible Android Development] johnnybags:
try unmounting your sd card before installing.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kriskmk:
Has anyone gotten wifi tethering to work with Froyo (8-01-10 leak) ????
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Muerte_X:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list?can=2&q=Incredible

The newest version 2.05 pre-7 works. No need for the android.tether folder and it supports AP mode! :D (In fact, get rid of the android.tether folder or rename it before using this version)

I think it should support all froyo ROMS, I used it earlier today and it worked perfectly. I'm using the 7/27 leak..
[Droid Incredible Android Development] iowabowtech:
Same here, works like a peach.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] stanfna:
Awesome! works perfectly!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kriskmk:
sorry to sound like a total noob.. (I am kinda).. but where is the android.tether folder located? I am guessing it's under /system?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] exigent:
Do you need this kernel to run in AP mode or can you do it with stock 2.2?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Muerte_X:
If you've used a previous version of wireless tether, you had to create a folder and put a bin file inside that the program would load to work. You don't need this anymore. If you don't know what it is, you probably don't have one, lol. Just install the program and run it :)

I'm not sure what you're asking. The link I posted is to the installer for the wireless tether app. It works with the .32 kernel found in most froyo based ROM's...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kriskmk:
Yea, I never created an android.tether folder before.. Previously, I just downloaded the wireless tether program, installed it and found out that it didn't work.. (I've never used wireless tether on 2.1). so I am pretty sure I don't have that folder like you said.. I'll install this and see how it works.. thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mb02:
android.tether is supposed to be on the root of your sdcard. if you never put it there, it wont be there. which is why tethering didnt work for you before. but now you dont need it so it doesnt matter.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] texanaustinite:
It works!

Running Sky Raider 2.0.1
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Mr. Spontaneous:
I'm running the 2.2 (7/27) leak and it works perfectly. No android.tether needed. It also seems faster... :-)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Danwsim:
Leaked 08/01 2.2 just seems to work

I'm working with the full leaked Froyo from 08/01.

I have the wireless.tether on my SD card, but I have no idea if its needed.

Anyhow, the download from this address works in non Ad-hoc.

code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DeeBG:
Does anyone know if there will come a day when you can switch between different encryption methods? WPA2 works great for almost everything but sometimes I would like to be able to switch to WEP if for example, a friend wants to go online with a DS lite. I was j/w if anyone was able to accomplish this feat on their own, but I am going to make an official request in their "issues" section.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] fezzik77:
So I installed this Kernel and didn't test WIFI tether. It wouldn't recognize my internal phone storage so I am restoring to my last backup.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hernanjc:
Just wanted to say a big THANK YOU!!!!! to all who post here. I am running versions 2.0.2 and all I did was create the folder "androind.tether" and copied the .bin file in it - my incredible phone is working as ad-hoc but that is an improvement since I was not able to connect before.

I did have to download the kenrnel onto the sd card beforehand. I am actually working from my phone at this time - this is awesome! You guys rock!!!!!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] hernanjc:
Where can one get the 2.2?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] clambert11:
You might want to get a newer version of wireless tether here:

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list?can=2&q=Incredible

I have not updated mine since it works fine but apparently you no longer need the directory on the SD card.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] adrianh85:
im having some issuses cooking this into my rom the kernel shows but when i goto connect to wifitethering its still looking for ad hoc mode and will not connect!!

and for some weroid reason wired tether doesnt work
[Droid Incredible Android Development] StirCwazy:
I'm running skyraider 2.5.2 and just loaded the latest wireless tether for Droid. Skyraider was a fresh (first custom rom) clean install and all of the steps were followed. Everything runs great, but upon loading wireless tether I noted I don't have the option for wpa encryption. As mentioned by the OP I should not have to load the kernel code for this option since I'm running a custom rom. Anyone have any ideas?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Heathsrow:
I have installed the Kernel mentioned on page 1. I am running stock 2.1 with the stock radio. Only changes I made was to the Kernel. I have removed the android.tether folder from my SD Card and have wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre7.apk on my SD Card and installed. When I start the Tethering, I get the following message:

Tethering started with errors. Check the "show log" for the errors. The errors I am getting in Show log are as follows:

Starting Access Point...failed

Activating WiFi interface...failed

Everything else worked. Can someone help me get wireless tethering working?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] samwathegreat:
Try pre8. Also try pressing menu settings then menu again. You should have an option to reinstall binaries and config. Give that a shot. Good luck.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Heathsrow:
I uninstalled pre7 and installed pre8, reinstalled the binaries and config. Still getting the same errors. should I do a nandorid restore and reflash the kernel? or just reflash the kernel without the nandroid?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] monkeybiz:
Restore to defualt

I'm having some issues with this and manually updating to Froyo.

The Froyo OTA update keeps failing on the bcm4329 hashcheck.

I tried reloading my nandroid backup from before I installed this ROM, but my DInc is having no part of it.

Is there any way I can get the unmodified version of this file so I can restore my OS to stock and update? Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] samwathegreat:
You both may need to ruu. Im at a loss. Monkeybiz, I might be able to hook you up with a stock 2.1 kernel so you can upgrade. I'll have to try and find it....
[Droid Incredible Android Development] samwathegreat:
Ok monkeybiz,

Here you go. Attached is an update.zip with the stock 2.1 kernel and bcm4329 file. Flash this from clockworkmod recovery, then flash stock recovery back. Your update should work after that.

Good Luck.

Heathsrow: I can't make sense of any of your errors or problem. Your best bet would be to ruu and start over. Sorry I can't help further.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] clambert11:
For what it's worth, I didn't have any success when updating with this zip file. It could have just been me. I did, however, have success pushing the bcm4329.ko file from THIS post.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] luitron:
Finally! It works! Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] JoeProcopio:
think this will work on the new HD leaked roms from IncDoes? or just true 2.2 rims like Redemption, Skyraider etc?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] feefeeboomboom:
Epic 4G support

ok so the epics 2.2.1 ota leak DK28 has hot spot wifi support. im trying to get wirelesstether to start in AP mode on the Epic. i pushed the bcm4329.ko to \system\libs\modules.. the app opens and fails to start an AP in AdHoc or wifi AP.

i was wondering if i could get some info or help on trying to get this to work.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanzer:
Are you using a kernel that supports wireless ap mode?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] feefeeboomboom:
see thats what i was thinking. 2.2.1 source hasnt dropped for us yet, but i was thinking the stock kernel already had support.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] seanzer:
Sorry, your kernel probably requires the module files built with it. You can't use drivers from one kernel while running a different kernel. Try asking the kernel devs in the forums for your phone ...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sleepybird:
Does this work for the cdma hero? Or can someone point me to similar solution for the cdma hero? thanks.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] :
No idea, you should probably try the CDMA Hero forums. I had a friend with an Eris, it had issues with tethering. But he upgraded to the OG Droid before I got to look into it.

Specifically, I did a search in the CDMA Hero section for tethering. Brought up lots of stuff.

Search
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Conap:
When I did dev work for the eris this was not possible because the phone didn't have the hardware for it. I believe it's the same with the hero....
[Droid Incredible Android Development] sleepybird:
I did a lot of search (both this forum and others), but almost all the solutions I found are for other models (e.g., incredible) rather than CDMA hero. Looks like it is not possible for the CDMA hero due to hardware limitation?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] RotKT:
after in install AP..., it kept saying preparing phone storage.

after i flash another kernel, it goes to ad-hoc;

i just can't get it out of ad-hoc mode.

plz help.
