Its not tethering, its reverse tethering. My phone does do tethering too, its the option above the one selected. If i use the reverse tether, it costs me nothing (apart from usual net cost) as I am using my home net connection on it.

How does it compare to wifi? I guess it would only be useful when wifi isn't available, like at work or something.

Well we have a 20mb (truly) unlimited buisness line to our house, so it is fantastic. very fast for grabbing stuff off the market or youtube/browsing. To be honest if I am sat at my desk, I usually use the reverse tether rather than wifi if I need to grab something on my phone.

Here's a pic of my homescreen

EDIT- found this, who else is getting ICS in March

What app you guys use to oc your phone's cpu? I use SetCPU.

Mostly a custom kernel with rom based ocing

Have used prime's deprimed kernel, overclocked via script. CPU master, setcpu, virtuous overclock & rom based utilities. So far the most stable was setcpu.

Sebastian's OC kernel, he has one for GB and one for ICS. My phone will OC upto 1.7ghz pretty stable.

I´d like to upgrade to Android 4 but my HTC Desire Z does state that there are no updates to its software available.
I think the only way to go is to root it. Which rom out there is the best?
Also I need some instructions on rooting - have 0 experience with it.

No your service will remain the same. you may have to dial a reactivation code but thats no big deal.

Ok, do you know where to download a custom rom, because I can't find one. My phone sucks because too many Virgin Mobile stuff.

What phone do you have again? Is this phone rooted with S-OFF?

 

[camoxiong]

A LG Optimus V. Yes, it is rooted. I don't know what is "S-OFF." Do I need any app to install the custom rom?

If a perm root goes wrong does resetting to factory defaults in boot loader (volume down+power button) help?

Here is a list of roms for your phone

Also please go to the market and download Rom Manager and flash the clockworkmod recovery to your phone.

I have a problem with my rooting procedure and my HTC Desire Z
(http://murobbs.plaza.fi/taskumuro-puhelimet-taulutietokoneet-ja-muut-mobiililaitteet/780709-htc-desire-z-roottaus-ja-custom-rommit.html)

After i put in the bold underlined command I get a message:
Failed to set prot mask (Inappropriate ioctl for devices)

adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp
adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version
adb shell /data/local/tmp/psneuter
adb shell

I tried the Visionary+ method too but that doesnt work either - gets stuck on rooting device please wait screen.

SuperOneClick method didnt work too.

My phone has Android 2.3.3 installed by default so I tried GingerBreak but it was useless.

Have you tried having a browse of the G2 section on XDA I linked? Try some of the methods in the guide I linked too, If not, try registering on XDA and post in the Q and A section for your phone, someone will help you out for sure.

I'd suggest downgrading to 2.2 first using the directions in xda. Then rooting should work just fine.

Try this with me, so far I had success with this nifty little script. Gave me an extra hour and a half under heavy use conditions.

So far it work - it phone has a golden SD (whatever it means) and is downgrading in boot loader right now!

Edit: Now Visionary+ temproot worked and permroot too ;D

 

[InnocentCriminal]

When I get my next phone (in May) I'll definitely be trying this out...

Now I have problems with flashing a ROM to my phone.
I installed ROM Manager and flashed ClockworkMod Recovery with it but get a red exclamation mark in a triangle when I want to go to recovery in bootloader.
It does not go away other than take the phones battery out.
Are there some alternative methods?
