[GUIDE]TBH inspired Free wireless tethering hack instructions for Droid 3

[Big D]

on a further note...

The tethering is MUCH faster and more stable than any other tethering app I've used in the past (barnacle and Wifi Tether).

Any one else see this?

Faylix/local, i wanted to try this on my wifes un-rooted Droid2, do you know what would be different(i.e.values,chipset)?

Ok, i managed to figure out that the only difference between the D3 and the D2 is the chipset, but when i hook up the D2 and hit "Get" under SW the box turns red, not green and it gets an error when i press REDLEM. I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong, anyone got any ideas?

Well im happy to report that the hack worked on my D3. But my problem has become the inability to use tethering at its full potential. A device can connect and use the internet. But after about 10 - 20 min a notification will show saying 3g data connection lost. And then repeat doing that every min or less. I tried a complete reset and the problem continued. I need help this is frustrating. Im just surprised this hasn't happened to anyone else.

Worked like a charm for me!

This does seem to be true, i made it 20 mins and then got it. It seems to me it is forcefully disconnecting. Either the phone is booting it, or the network is (my guess would be network side).

I no longer would recommend this mod. Wait for root.

Any idea why mine won't work? The hack went fine but 3g constantly drops in and out and stops working the mins you connect a device

Sounds like you seeing the same thing, except you get popped right off the bat. Where are you located? Im in PA, i only ask becuase i wonder if its a variation in the way the networks are configged.

Coming from an IT/Networking background, this hack seemed to good to be true to me.

Im thinking they have a way of detecting this work around and simply De auth you once you fire up the hotspot app and connect.
