YesSo quick question. It's a little off topic but as far as rooting to be able to use WiFi tethering, are you able to use HTC's unlock method to root the EVO 3d when already updated to 2.08.651.3?

Just thought I'd add to this thread for those who are running OTA 2.08.651.3 (I just got my EVO 3D a few days ago and that's what was on it (I think the guy behind the counter updated it without asking me)) After rooting the phone and reading through a few threads I was unable for the last few days to get wifi tethering to work. I did finally just a few hours ago get it working. Here's how:
Get latest version of Wifi Tether (Currently 3.1 beta 6) and install.
(YOU MAY BE ABLE TO IGNORE THE BARNACLE STEPS, TRY JUST INSTALLING AND RUNNING THE LATEST VERSION OF WIFI TETHER WITH PROPER SETTINGS 1ST!)
Get Barnacle Wifi and install.
Open Wifi Tether press Menu > Settings > Check Routing Fix and MSS Clamping (my 3G wouldn't work very well without it)
Also under Change Device-Profile select HTC Evo 3D. Thanx @CarrieK!
Start Wifi Tether and Touch screen to Start Tethering and accept Superuser. Then again to Stop Tethering and accept Superuser.
Now Start Barnacle Wifi and Touch Start. If you get an error about wap_***** just accept ok so that it will run anyway. (If the Start button doesn't change to Stop you did it wrong, just run it again) Accept any Superuser requests.
Now Touch the Stop button in Barnacle Wifi. Accept any Superuser requests.
Press and hold the Home button or drag the taskbar down so that you can see your recently used applications (leaving Barnacle running) and select Wifi Tether again.
Go to Menu > Settings and Enable wifi encryption if you wish and set your passphrase etc. You may also Enable Access-Control.
Make a 4G connection (set phone to 4G). Check to see if it is working.
Stop Wifi Tethering and set phone to 3G and restart Wifi Tethering. Check to see if it's working.
Stop Wifi Tethering. Stop Barnacle. Uninstall barnacle. Use Wifi Tethering normally.
This is what worked for me. Hope it helps someone else out.
download link broken?
Once you get WiFI Tethering working does it turn your phone into an access point? In other words, can I use my Touchpads wireless app and discover the phone and access the EVO that way?
If you have recently done the OTA Update to ICS for your Evo 3D go to Menu -> Settings -> Change Device-Profile and set to Generic ICS or you may encounter errors while using WiFi Tether.
What are trying to download?that link does not work to dowload the file.
Try this. Go into superuser app and set the access for the wifi app to grant or allowed which ever and saveNo matter what version of wifi tether I use I still get the same errors on startup log: failed softap and failed wifi interface. Yes I am rooted (wifi tether verifies that)
