how to wifi tether with current OTA 1.47

[Hotrod68]

For those having trouble connecting with Unrevoked3 try installing the attached drivers first.

I had absolutely no problem rooting and gaining wifi tether. However my facebook stopped syncing. It keeps saying it's "unavailable at this time" when I try to log in. Can anyone tell me why that is and how to fix it?

ok Noob question here.. I installed Unrevoke 3 and it booted fine. It said to vol down to HBoot and hit power , after that it doesnt do anything. flashed some green messeges then goes right back to the program .. not locked or anything because i can reboot fine...Boo Boos instruction said to copy attached file to sd, I assume the file he was refering to was the teteher app that was attached to the thread.. Am i missing somthing ?

Ok found the problem i needed the android drivers installed .. Now i get thru all but lost now . It asked do i want to install a zip file ? I go to the sd card fine .. am i supposed to rename the teather to a .zip ?

Now i rebooted and i see the Wireless tethering app installed .. (But i never did anything to install it) Does it automaticly install when you do the unrevoked app ? or is it already there as a sprint app and i never noticed it ? anyway its working just not 100% sure how i got it installed ..
Going to write a NOOB!!! instruction file once i get all the questionis answered..

You may be looking at the Sprint Hotspot app that's pre-installed. I used a file manager app (eStrong File Manager available in Android Market) to find/install the wifi tethering app.

No its the WIFI tethering by Harald M. version 2.0.5pre3...
I see the sprint hot spot.. one also.. LOL Like i said didnt do and thing to install this manually so not sure how i got it installed.. testing it and not getting all that great speeds thru Speedtest but it does work...

The confusing part to me in once i was able to get the unrevoked running and setup was HOW do you install an app after that ? Are you supposed to do it from that app or reboot and now your rooted and able to install just like any other app ?

For any of you who ran Damage Control 3.2.3 (I did the 3-step root method, so that's all I can swear to this working for), and had to run an older version of unrevoked to get it to install, you don't have to go through all these steps. Just download the version of wireless tether Boo Boo posted, uninstall the old version, and run the new apk. You MUST manually uninstall the old version (use app manager), it seems, then install the new version. No need for unrevoked3

I figured this out in desperation, because I had the problem others in this thread had, of getting the installer to quit "waiting" for my device to be hooked up. I tried everything, then decided to see why the apk wouldn't install. Once I deleted the existing one, it installed and I am posting this from my laptop tethered to the Evo.
