Neither USB tethering nor wireless tethering work for me (Happy Móvil España)

[syl]

actually my laptop can view files connected only via USB - but I take it’s only the storage files - not the Android ones - correct ?

In case you haven’t noticed it, see the PS above.

Ah, ok, so your computer does detect your phone. I looked into adb, but I’m convinced that still you won’t be able to modify anything on your phone from your computer, if you aren’t root.

I’m afraid you won’t get around installing the operating system again. If the above tutorial doesn’t work because your lack of root, see this one: https://fairphone.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/202478028

think the script did the trick - now pending is only to get the script as “permantly actioned” so I can “unroot” my fairphone again to be able to see my work mail on my failphone ;

any tip how I can go about this ?

P.S.
script :
su -
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ccmni0 -j MASQUERADE

See my link to rootcloak above.

You will need root for the script I’m proposing (as far as I know you will have to execute it every time before attempting tethering).

1. Create a file called tethering.sh in your / (“root”) folder.
2. In the Terminal Emulator settings search for the entry “start command”. Enter su -.
3. In the file tethering.sh enter the rest of the command @Enos wrote in the other thread. Save.

Now every time before using tethering, open Terminal Emulator and type sh tethering.sh. The script will be executed as root because of the start command.

I think that it’s my same problem…

Tethering problem: does not turn on / WiFi defunct afterwards

I had the same issue in 2014 and I’m quite sure that after trying the workaround of @enos I had solved by installing a new version of package .apk about tethering cooked by a user… perhaps this .apk of the comment #109 (https://code.google.com/archive/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/1661#c109 ), but I’m not really sure. Some weeks ago I had to make an hard reset the device and I reinstalled Kola Nut 1.8.7 so I lost all my personalization

but link it’s wrong, correct at comment #192: Google Issue Tracker

Many thanks for the note - just tried your links - think the second one is brooken;
would be greatfull if you could post the apk download link you I take will use - now, after the reset … - to get the tethering back working on your phone

[Akiro]

Sorry I forgot to add a detail: even I cannot download the .apk since many months…
I was looking on web for the same package but I haven’t found it.

For now I use the same procedure described by @Stefan

shame - more to have this thread complete: tried the rootcloak, but unfortunatedly does not make “root” “invisible” to my employers’ ap - which on the other hand is actually good, as it shows that I have a quality app by my employer …
