Can I tether Sprint TP2 WM6.5 to other devices?
OK, I have a stock Sprint 6.5 TP2(upgraded from 6.1 after purchase) and I was wondering if there is a way to tether it to my Dell Axim x51v's I still have around or possibly my wife's laptop if we take it on the road.

I searched but most of the threads I come across are all related to cooked ROMs. I'd like to know if there's a way to tether using the stock option. What programs would I need to install? Do I have to root my phone? What exactly is Rooting anyway?

Thanks

JTMcD.

search for tom codon wifirouter. its free and just choose the "sprint" connection. Rooting is unlocking but rooting is what you do to android phones, like jailbreaking is to iphones

You just need to install one of the WiFi Router cabs and you can share your data connection to anything that can connect to wifi. Look in the favorite cabs thread. Click on the paperclip icon.
FYI You only root Android based devices. The TP2 can be unlocked with hspl if you want to flash a custom rom.
Here Dr 8820 made it easy for you:

Re: Can I tether Sprint TP2 WM6.5 to other devices?
Some devices may not be able to see the network... My son's Zune HD cannot see my TP2 with that same cab. But laptops and netbooks don't seem to have a problem seeing it.

that's true, even though my bb is retired, I still use wifi and it doesn't do ad-hog tethering .
