    ok here is the jacka$$ guise to wifitethering and busybox as wel as flash-image sprecovery, brightness fix, and overclocking!

    first off, navigate back to chevyno1 wifi tethering - one click .. . thread.

    - then you need to go to the marketplace and download an application called droidroothelper. once it is up and running, click the menu button second from the left on the droid touchscreen, and click on get the tools.

    install adrozip,linda file manager, and then get the tools from the links in the menu. once you download get the tools open adrozip click on the downloads folder, then click on droidroothelper.zip then choose extract to.
    dont just do that tho. first press that back arrow once then extract to that screen. it should be the screen you first see when you open adrozip. extract it there.

    once that is all done, reboot your phone, and open droidroothelper.

    click on:
    1. mount mtdblock3 system read/write,
    2. mount mtdblock4 system read/write
    3.unmount system mtdblock3
    4.unmount system mtd block 4
    5. sync.
    6.rename recover from boot.p
    7.install and chmod busybox install to system bin
    8. install chmod flash image

    then scroll to the bottom where it says recovery and click recovery.

    then download the new version of wifi tethering made by chevyno1. i think its version 1.3 or 1.4

    - follow the onscreen directions, nothing will go wrong. the reason your getting that error is because your recovery is too old and the program doesnt recognize your phone in recovery mode. if you follow the directions step by step you should be up and running in no time.

    cheers.

    p.s. this also installs busy box, and flash-image. as well as the brightness fix, and overclocking to 600mhz.

    im tethering like a beast, especially at work where our wifi is capped.

    but yeah just refollow those step dont worry about an older recovery it would just overwrite it.
