Re: [How-To] Tethering 4G on Nexus S 4G as AP not Ad-Hoc Connecti
I have a rooted Nexus S 4g (Sprint) and the stock ROM 2.3.7 with a radio of D720SPRKE1. If I wanted to install Peter Alfonso's "Tethering Fix For Nexus S 4G" is it as simple as:
1. copy the CRESPO4GTETHERFIX.zip file directly to the root of the internal SD card.
2. boot the phone into the unlocked bootloader and choose "recovery".
3. from the Clockworkmod menu choose to install the .zip file from #1.
4. reboot the phone.
I know the question seems trivial to the more experienced people but I'm just starting with the rooted Nexus and would appreciate any help or advise.
Thanks . . . .
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I spent two days trying to figure out how to install that patch because I am a complete newbie to root. I watched countless videos on how to root and get wifi tether to work and had tried tirelessly to get that patch to work. Every time I tried with rom manager, the phone would reboot and then I would get a triangle with an exclamation point. This essentially locked up my phone (and completely freaked me out) and only way to fix would to remove battery. Your simple instructions had me fixed up in a few minutes.
Also, my other problem was that my Nexus was setting up an ad hoc network. So I installed wifi tether for root and chose nexus one as the phone, changed to Netd to get infrastructure mode and FINALLY my Acer A500 can see the signal and hook up. Only thing is, when I launch the wifi tether for root app, my native hotspot feature tries to start up - and this sems to block the tab from seeing the wifi again. About 30 seconds later, the little blue (native) tethering dissapears and I am rocking the wifi tether on my tab. It will spontaneously shut down (the phone) and reboot from time to time - but I can deal with that to have my data WORKING ON MY TAB
!!!
Any ideas on how to stop the native app from launching to clean things up a little? The weird thing is that the blue signal appears up top in the tray but if I go to the native hotspot launcher in settings, it is turned off. Honestly, I am scared to mess with it but if there is a way to disable it without too much tinkering, that would rock. I get the feeling that the native app is the thing that is rebooting the phone from time to time, but thst is just a guess.
