What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. When trying to start app, still incorrect kernel error
2. Seems to connect when selecting USB Charge or USB Tether but can't connect 
to website
3. When trying all USB wired options, including HTC Sync, USB drive and above 
other two, somehow my USB ports on my laptop disables requiring a reboot

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Kernel error, can't connect to website

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.3 (r32 I assume). Windows XP sp3

Please provide any additional information below.

Thanks for the effort though is solving this problem, I will keep coming back 
to this site several times a day hopefull to find a working solution.

Rene,

What ROM and Kernel are you using? I got 1.4 to work for me with 3G, but I get 
no connection when attempting to use 4G. As soon as I disable 4G, I get 
connection again.

Also, my Wireless tether now FC's, from what I'm assuming is renaming the 
libnativetask.so located in /system/lib

Yeah the libnativetask.so stuff seemed a little quirky to me. I think you could 
remove the /system/lib one and uninstall both wireless tether and wired tether 
and then reinstall both.  I think that may work best.  The inclusion in ROMs is 
tricky.

Guys ... remove libnativetask.so from /system/lib. This library is application 
(wired or wireless tether) specific. Copying libnativetask.so from the wireless 
tether-package to /system/lib will break wired tether and vice versa!

Simply install the app (copying the apk to /system/app or /data/app is NOT 
INSTALLING) and the library is placed into the correct directory!

Installing vie adb:
adb install wired-tether.apk

From commandline (on your phone):
pm install /path/to/wired-tether.apk

Yeah, got both wired and wireless tether working by reinstalling both apps 
after removing the /system/lib/libnativetask.so file.

My only problem now is that wired tether will not work when my phone has a 4G 
connection. If I ping google.com, I get:

(It starts working as soon as I disable 4G and it kicks back over to 3G)

What are some of the troubleshooting things that I can be doing to help solve 
this?

I'm using Fresh 3.1.0.2 with netarchy's stock kernel for fresh.

I'm online w/1.3 & the fix now too. I get unsupported kernel when I'm using 
stock deodexed 2.2 w/2.6.32.15 kernel. Click ignore & I'm online. Win7 & did 
not require a driver.

Laygo, did you try 1.4 with the fix?  It should mostly be just removing the 
unsupported kernel warning.

I have almost the same situation as mcriffin on #55..Both wifi and usb tethers 
work..I have 1.3 usb tether and I did not do the fix and I do have 2 
libnativetask.so files and both tethers work..But usb will only work when on 
4g..When I switch to 3g it stops working and starts when I turn 4g back on?

Sorry I forgot....Im on Fresh 3.1.0.2 with netarchy 4.1.8 kernel using win7 
32bit

Hi jeep! Are you changing from 3g to 4th and vice versa while tendering is 
running or do you restart it?  Mgriffin said on XDA that he found his 4th isn't 
working and that's his culprit.

On my HTPC this app, with fix, it is working kind off acceptable, meaning I 
have to restart app every so often ranging from 1-2 hours, and eventually it 
requires a hard reboot of my HTPC as it locks up some USB ports. At home I 
mainly am connected via 4G.

On my Laptop however, the app stops working, or rather transferring data much 
more frequent, every 30-45 minutes, to the point of being to much of a hassle, 
so that when I work on my laptop I instead use the wireless tether app 
2_0_5-pre8 which is 100% reliable.

David,

Not sure what your preferred method of communication is, but I figured this 
forum will do nicely, since it allows other to follow along with 
troubleshooting. 

I'm using an HTC EVO with Android 2.2 installed 

I downloaded and installed 1.4, which gives me force closes. I applied the 
libnativetask.so fix, which fixed the force closes. 

Then, I still had the connectivity issues. Applied the symlink fix. That fixed 
the connectivity issues, but it broke my 4g. Not only while tethering, but also 
when using the phone (for browsing, maps, apps, etc). Turning off 4g restores 
data, however. 

Any ideas?

aselivra,

I check in here every few days and also when I get updates emailed to me, but 
my gmail is the fastest since it hits my phone the quickest and it's easiest to 
respond from on the phone.

I'm not in a 4G area, so it's a little tricky for me to test those cases or do 
work for it, but I'll do what I can.  I thought some people had mentioned 
successfully using 4G, including tethering, after these fixes, so I'm not sure 
what is different between their setup and yours.  Are you on the stock rooted 
2.2, or are you on one of the custom ROMs?  What about stock or custom kernel?  
I'll try and compile a new list of working/problematic ROMs and kernels to see 
if there's a commonality in there again.

How technical are you in regards to the phone (do you dabble with adb or 
terminal?  do you hack the kernel? or are you an out-of-the-box kinda guy?) -- 
I'm just trying to get a feel for what I can have you check or do comfortably.  
Which would you prefer to have more at this point (in the interim while I try 
to figure out the 4G issues), 4G and no tethering, or tethering and no 4G?  I 
can help get you to either I'm pretty sure, and I have a short-term idea in 
mind that could probably even allow you to do both (but not 4G and tether at 
the same time yet) with a small extra step in there.

I created a couple of simple signed update.zip files to cover a couple of 
different use cases (those wanting 4G working again at the expense of wired 
tethering; and those that want both [only one or the other active at a time, 
though] and are comfortable running a simple shell script).

Check over here at XDA for the full details: 
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8083070&postcount=149

In short, SignedWiredTetherRestore.zip is to get back the original ip binary 
instead of my previous symlink fix; SignedWiredTetherFixToggle.zip is for those 
wanting the shell script to toggle the symlink between the original and toolbox.
