usb tethering or wifi tethering for sprint

[immauser]

ok, i know pdanet is out for usb tethering but u have to pay... i know that when i had the mogul and touchpro (winmo) all had it free eventually.... so ill start this thread for now and hopefully we have some progress on the usb tethering program ...if anyone has success with the htc sync one, let me know, but i doubt it..... i use tethering alot because im on the road..but i cannot get the htc hero to do it as of now without paying...

if you root the hero , you can use wireless tether for root users . its free . you can tether via wifi or bluetooth .

is rooting a simple process? and im on sprint cdma if that would make a diff? thx

[simms22]

rooting is a fairly simple process , looks scarier than it really is . but about the cdma i dont know . maybe someone else has an answer ?

Do NOT attempt to root your phone using the GSM version of instructions that are out for the HTC Hero. You have a very high chance (if not 100%) of bricking your phone.

That process is strictly for GSM.

Please follow the developments over at the XDA-Developers forum for the Hero until someone creates a process for the CDMA hero.

Again, please DO NOT DO THIS until there is a viable documented solution for the CDMA Hero.

You have been warned

Grrrr i really want to root the cdma phone getting really annoyed of it .. but i have to keep it since i cant afford to loose 3g... since the European 3g wont work in US but w/e i guess ill just have to wait... is their any free way to tether in the mean time??

[immauser]

no free way, ive been searching the web up and down in every possible forum for android.. trust me, i use tether alot and before i bought this fone i was told its possbile since this fone is open source.... but it turns out that its too new at the cdma market from sprint.

but i know eventually this fone will get the SH*T hacked out of.... i know with windows mobile i hacked it like crazy.

and kmartburrito, thanks, i will have to wait, hopefully someone comes out with something soon....i need tethering! thanks

Even PDAnet didn't work for me through WMWare (I'm a Mac person.) I also tried all those port forwarding apps (Proxoid, etc.) and nothing worked. I too am wanting this functionality! I would even pay Sprint $20/mo for it (aside: that is my plan "B", add my old Instinct back as a third phone line since that is able to PAM on my MacBook Pro.)
