barnacle wifi post-unrevoked root

[carpetbagger]

so i downloaded and ran the unrevoked root solution this afternoon, and i have a problem. i assumed that once i had a successful root, i would able to use barnacle wifi to tether my phone to my ipad. so far, no luck.

i used the following instructions: How to: WiFi Tether a Motorola Droid to an iPad - Droid Life: A Droid Community Blog

while barnacle starts without a problem, my ipad cannot find the network. i checked my macbook, and it doesn't show the network either.

anyone else been able to get their rooted incredible working with a wireless tether app?

thank you in advance.

Mine works like a charm. No issues at all. The one I used, though, was the one included with the SDK.

I have yet to get the actual wifi tether app to work, however pdanet works good, wired. So far I can get bluetooth tether and usb tether to work but not wireless.

Haven't tried it with an iPad etc, just trying to get DD-wrt to match up with it. From what I've read and seen DD-WRT and like devices will not work with Ad-Hoc networks. Maybe the same issue you are having? Are you sure it's in pure AP mode. Don't ask me how to check with barnacle I haven't tried it. Guess it's time to play!

I'm starting fresh again anyways I just installed one of the 2.2 ROMs to give it a whirl for a day or so and see if it is actually making a difference. Let us know if you figure out what's going on with your Inc - iPad setup.

Edit: I just realized you were using barnacle instead of android-wifi-tether. But if you choose here's how I got android-wifi-tether to work for me.


I had the same issue with my macbook pro.

Through adb shell:

mkdir /sdcard/androd.tether
cat /system/etc/firmware/fw_bcm4329.bin > /sdcard/android.tether/fw_bcm4329.bin

Start wifi tether. Go to menu > show log. The log should say "Loading bcm4329.ko module from /sdcard/android.tether"

If it is still not working:

DHCP would not identify so my MBP would use a self-assigned ip. Set up a network configuration with a static ip address. It should look something like this:

IP: 192.168.2.100
Sub: 255.255.255.0
Router: 192.168.2.254
DNS Server: 192.168.2.254

Like I said, this worked for me. Go here if all else fails.

okay, i was able to get it to work, but not using barnacle.

i created a new folder on the sd card called "android.tether"

i also downloaded the fw_bcm4329.bin file, available here: public:adb_in_recovery [RootWiki]

i also downloaded the androi wifi tether app through the qr code also on the same page linked above.

installed the app, and after setting up my own ssid and passphrase, i got it working. w00t.

The fw_bcm4329.bin folder is the key. I could not get it to work without this in the android.tether folder.
