Can't help with the tethering, but you might need to change your settings on Modaco. Uncheck the 'Enable visual (RTE) editor.

I recall seeing somewhere that the standard ROM does not support ad-hoc WiFi which I think may be needed for tethering. Not sure which ROM's have the change to the WiFi, I am going to try it over the next day or so with Corvus5.

I'm using the modaco R8 rom and that tethers nicely with my X10 (now that the new rom for the X10 supports tethering)

OK, I got round to testing sooner than I thought I could. Tethering works fine with Corvus5 and my HTC Desire HD.

Hi im trying to install the rom using the feb9 pinned advice but im getting stuck on the following advice as i dont know where to access the info - any help would be grateful

If you are using Windows, your USB 'Android Developer Bridge' driver MUST be the one included in this download (use 'Have Disk' functionality in device manager to change if required)

At a command prompt / terminal, ensure you are in the directory you extracted the files, and run 'install-windows.bat', './install-linux.sh' or './install-mac.sh' as appropriate

[Guest lesd]

where do you find that please - cant seem to see it anywhere

Go to the top rught of this page, where there's a cartoon of a guy in blue and orange. Below that is your name and avatar. Below that is a menu; my profile, my settings, ...

Click on my settings, and uncheck the visual editor.

The reference to the android developer bridge is the driver for the vega to install the ADB driver for push commands, the second is adb push command screen to push files across like recovery, flash image etc. Push = copy from PC to vega without copying to memory card and also place the files into the correct placement on the vega.

As i stated in your other thread, best options are as follows,

1) Download Modaco R8 and copy this to your sdcard via your PC (connect the vega to PC, select on vega to turn on USB and then find the mounted sdcard on your pc and copy the R8 zip to the sdcard) download Vega Tools 4 and install that onto your PC, then put your vega into debug mode, that's settings, applications, development and then select the top USB Debugging.

2) Run vega tools and look at bottom of screen and click install audi drivers.

3) Don't select anything and click next step at bottom of screen, then select Part B, deleted all installed drivers, once done, now select the the top option "i want to install modaco R8 in ADB mode"

4) Click next step and select Part C Install correct driver, then select top option "just do it for me", this should install the correct ADB driver, if installed correctly the bar at bottom left of window which was red should now be green.

5) Once done close down the window and look on the vega tools window and see the clockwork recovery, tick the include recovery application and click the install button to install, once done go to your apps page and look for recovery, run the app and reboot into Recovery option.

6) Now once recovery screen pops up, using volume down key tab down to the backup and restore and use the power button to select, now do a backup of your stock rom, once done use the back button to go back and tab to wipe cache partition, select using power button and then tab to yes, once done tab to wipe data/factory reset, select and tab to yes, once done tab down to advanced, select and tab to wipe dalvik cache, select and tab to yes, now back button to the main screen.

7) now tab down to install zip from sdcard, select and tab down to choose zip from sdcard, select and tab to the modaco R8 zip file on your sdcard and select, this should start the install of the new rom, once done, press back and select reboot the vega and you should have modaco R8 installed.

From there you can try see if you can get tethering sorted on the R8 rom, my concern is that most people here have tethered Android Phone to Android Vega, no mention of a Nokia tether, but i guess tethering is the same for all devices.

Hope this helps..

On another note, the backup you do of your stock rom with be reusable if you decide to install Corvus5 as all you do is run the recovery which is already installed on R8, Corvus5 and Vegacomb and restore your back up, follow the instructions from number 6 of above list, to install Vegacomb would be a different set of instructions and as it's still in test beta, i doubt you will be looking at that paticular rom.
