Any way to tether yet?

[Boaty1302]

Dear Friends,

I am thinking of buying a Xoom. I don't want to have to pay an extra $30 per month to have 2Gb of data. I don't want to have to pay $20.00 per month to be able to tether my already unlimited data Droid X. I would only use the tether to support my xoom when I am on the road. I have limited knowledge of technology, but am savy enough to be very dangerous. What I want to know is what is the best way to be able to tether a xoom to a Droid X as of 7.20.2011. Thanks for your help.

You'll get a better answer if you post in the Droid X forums, not the Droid 3 forums.

You need to root your phone and install the TBH tether patch.

What version of Android are you on?

Anyway to do it with out rooting phone that is reliable. I have a stock phone now and I am uncertain about rooting my phone. I don't want to make my phone more complicated to where I may not be able to use it becuase of my lack of knowledge about computers and technology. Keep in mind that I use to be a Computer Science Major in college. My current version of Andriod is 2.2.1

Thanks

Use Z4 Root.apk to root. Just install, click permanent root and let it do its thing. Then either use the TBH tether patch or Wifi Tether for root users. If you need more help, let me know. I can also get you the files.

Easy Tether Pro is working for me.

Im going to say this once, burried at the end of this thread, because honestly im glad its not common knowledge. You can tether, using the verizon app over wireless or usb, totally free.

If you understand how the TBH hack actually works, track down the right version of radiocom (11.11.x), the right drivers, and can figure out the msm chipset of the droid 3 on your own its really as simple as cutting and pasting a 128 char number three times.

I did it using a windows 7 64bit machine, a usb cord and my droid 3.

On the other hand directly editing your radio with radiocom is like playing with a bomb. You could destroy your phone in an instant. Im not going to post a guide that some idiot that has no biz playing with this stuff is going to destroy his phone with.

But hey, my droid 3 and my xoom are back ti being the best of friends and I take my hat off to team black hat for publishing the original hack.

Have fun kids =)

We can either help each other or not post a comment that will deter people from wanting to learn.
