Unable to start tethering - please try again

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
This is a brand spanking new, out of the box, Android Dev Phone 1.
1. Flashed phone with cupcake radio/recovery images for 1.5 (adb method)
2. Installed .97, and it upgraded automatically to 1.51.
3. Reinstalled 1.51 apk from the web site.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I click "Start Tethering"  I expect it to being tethering.  Instead, it 
(invariably) returns "unable to start tethering. please try again."

Update: when i install, it says "Not Root!" and asks me to override the 
settings.  
It's my understanding that I have Root access on the phone by virtue of the 
fact 
that it's a Dev Phone 1.

I uninstalled the version I had, and reinstalled "only" the 1.51 signed version 
of 
the software in the process listed as "Updated:" above.

Please correct me if I'm wrong here...as I don't wanna be that noob who is not 
working because he didn't setup the phone properly. doh!

Well, I am fixed now.  :)  Here's how:

1. I did a full wipe of the phone data (not a factory reset, a recovery console 
wipe).

2. I installed the htc provided OTA radio image (from HTC's web site) for 1.5.

3. I installed JFv1.51.CRB43-ADP to the phone.

4. Upon reboot, I installed v 1.51 of the WiFi Tether for Root Users.  During 
the 
installation, I enabled non-market apps (of course), and chose "Always" from 
the 
root permission request.

5.  I set it to use Bluetooth, and not change WiFi settings (WiFi encryption 
enabled)...and clicked Start Tethering.

The application started just fine.

Whenever i try and connect to the tether network for my samsung galaxy 
GT-I7500, it ALWAYS said "unable to start tethering. Please try again" Do you 
know why this is?
