Rooted Froyo Wireless Tether Still Work?

[jarencibia]

I have rooted Verizon Gingerbread and the Wifi Tether app on my droid X
So verizon started blocking rooted wifi tethering by directing the browser on the tethered computer to a Verizon wifi tether subscription site.

Is this block OS dependent? Would wifi tether work if I SBF back to Froyo and root?

MIUI still a froyo rom has 3g mobile hotspot working just fine.

I can confirm that on the older Rubix (froyo based) Rom, I can still use my WiFi hotspot with out any issues.

I have been considering getting a striped down rooted GB build, but this kinda thing would keep me from doing it.

I'm on stock FROYO...rooted...I use wireless tether with no issues...no redirects...I dont use it often, but its the only reason I'm sticking with FROYO.

Wireless Tether still works for me on rooted stock Froyo.

The block is not OS dependent. From professional experience, "wireless carriers will block your IP on wired or wireless tethering if you surpass a huge amount of gb used, like 20gb in 1 month.

I did 14gb two month ago. I started to freak back then. But my "wireless tether for rooters" and wired Easytether is still not blocked on rooted 602 build gingerbread for DROID x.

No offence, but its sounds like you got targeted for " excessive usage"... lol .... you could try to appeal by calling customer care. Good luck.

I got the "easy tether" but that's wired. What's the wireless app?
OK, I got it, its not "wireless tethering for rooters" , it's just the basic wifi tether app. Same thing I guess...LOL!

There is an app called 'Wireless Tether for Root' it is no longer accessible from the market but the apk can be found using Google.

I use EasyTether Pro for my wired tethering... and Wireless tethering for Rooters (v.2.0.7) for me wireless tethering. Both can be found for free via a simple google search or getting unethical but legal alternative markets.. like. Snappzmarket or 4shared or shareapks or etc etc etc etc.. lol

This is not correct and has been discussed at length on xda...

I am a very infrequent tethering user...as in maybe once or twice a month and for very little bandwidth... As soon as I installed a GB release I was no longer able to remove the wifi hotspots app and I was immediately redirected to vzws website to sign up regardless of the tethering app thati used...this is most certainly OS dependant and again discussed both here and on xda.

Now I haven't been following the progress of GB but it sounds to me like things haven't changed.

If it was OS dependant, then EVERYONE using Android 2.3.3 (Droid x) or 2.3.4 or like my new RAZR on 2.3.5 will not and cannot wired and wirelessly tether. Yet, I can.. ergo... Therefore.... in conclusion.... logic states its not OS dependant.

Again, it is not OS dependant as my old Droid x on 2.3.3 and especially my new Razr on 2.3.5 , and especially on friends phones of other make and mode and Os versions , can tethered both ways without Verizon redirecting me to any "sorry you do not have this feature.. click here to get tethering for $20/month" website....

What I know for fact... your ip got flagged.
