After upgrading my Droid 2 Global to 4.5.608A956.... Wifi Tethering?

[Konabob]

I have search the forum for help with this topic, but have not found what I am looking for. Please forgive an old guy for asking what may have already been answered.

Two days ago, I finally decided to let Verizon upgrade my phone. They kept sending me reminders. So I used GScript Lite to re-bloat my phone and z4root to remove the root. (Thanks to the creators of those fine programs, by the way. They were wonderful.) The phone is running Android 2.33.

I downloaded the update and ran it. It scared me at first because several features were sluggish or non functioning. After rebooting the phone 3 times, those problems vanished. Yes, my battery life seems to have improved. I even got used to the new look, though I preferred the old. Neither z4root or GScript Lite seem to work on my phone, alas!

But now I am looking for a one-click script to re-root my phone and to de-bloat my phone. It appears that the folks who enjoy doing these projects have all moved on to newer devices, and new one-clicks may never again appear for the Droid 2 Global.

I would love to find out that I am wrong, and will send a bag of Kona coffee to the one who helps me reactivate Wifi Tether, or an equivalent.
Aloha,
Konabob

You need the DROID3 One-Click Root script, or Pete's Motorola Root Tools, or any other implementation that works on a DROID3, DROIDX, DROIDX2, DROID2, DROID2 GLOBAL, DROID RAZR, and all other phones using Motorola's Gingerbread firmware.

I visited

How do I install the drivers?

forgot about that, not sure where that was suppose to go, you may not need drivers just the one click root

1. Download and Fully Unzip 'Droid3_Easy_Root_v7d' - LINK Droid3_Easy_Root_v7d
2. On your phone: Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging(check box)
3. Plug phone into computer and select "Charge Only" mode
4. Navigate to wherever you extracted it and run the file 'run_to_root_your_droid3.sh'
5. Now just follow the instructions in the command window and unlock the phone after each reboot.

Are you running stock, or some ROM? I thought (and it failed when I tried!) that OpenGarden doesn't work on stock unless you do the RadioComm hack.

 

[themib]

sorry looks like I was wrong on OpenGarden, thought I had got it to work once, but it's not now
look for the global RadioComm hack to get around block Hacking/tweaking 3G settings and the radio driver

may work on cm7gb

I flashed from .608 to revnunbers cm7gb kang about a week ago. Prior to that I was using "wireless tether" now I am using open garden. No problems whatsoever. I don't know everything, but this does work with cm7gb...

I am using a stock Droid 2 Global. After using Petes Root Tools, I installed Open Garden. It seems to be working just fine.
What is "RadioComm hack", and when or why would I use it?

I don't know exactly how this happens, but a number of people have reported success with several wifi tether apps, and then after a few uses the app fails and you are directed to the VZW tethering sign up (and pay) page. The RadioComm hack patches some settings (using a tool called RadioComm) to prevent this happening. Some custom ROMs already have these things patched.

But if it continues to work for you, then fine! (And let us know).
