I'm soon to be getting Mobile internet via my Mobile operator, T-mobile USA. I'm wondering if there is a way for me to Wi-Fi tether to provide internet for my ipod touch? I haven't rooted my phone yet, is there a non-rooted version. Barnacle WiFi Tether requires Root.
If I root my phone, will there be a way to return it to normal, 2.1, if I don't like it or something is wrong?
I remember from Ricky_D, Hobbs and others telling me about rooting my phone, but I still haven't. Would someone upload the links to how to root ur xperia x10?
I would only do it if there is a way to reverse the process, back to 2.1, if I so failed the first time.

Z4 Root is currently the easiest way to root your X10 on 2.1
Unfortunately, non-rooted tethering is only available on 2.2 or if you're surfing using your laptop (there's EasyTether but it requires you install a program on Windows or Mac to run.
Once rooted, using Barnacle is relatively easy. I've found, however that a certain level of inactivity causes it to hang, and you have to keep re associating the phone to activate the tether again. I did find a workaround by enabling WEP. Ideally I'd rather not enable security since I don't leave my phone on tether long enough nor do I stay in one spot long enough for it to be an issue.
So far, I've had a total of 3 devices connected to Barnacle at once... my iPad, iPod Touch for FaceTime, and my laptop.

X10 and an N8,all you need now is an iPhone 4 and one of the new Win7 phones and you'll have the Big 4 OS's.

I take it by WM you dont mean the new Windows Phone 7 OS ? , at present this is my favourite OS to use. Rather like the first iphones it is missing some core functionality at present - copy/paste, bluetooth file transfer and multitasking but it is so slick and user friendly. The hardware on my Omnia 7 is superb.....the most responsive screen ive ever used and so well built. I traded an Omnia 7 for a friend a couple of weeks back and after using that for a while i got one as my upgrade. I also own an HTC Desire and a Nokia N8 neither of which seem as fluid as WP7

thanks to everyone for helping me root my phone, especially Ricky_D. Now that it's rooted, how do I uninstall the unwanted apps? i.e. Moxier mail, sync, etc. and quadrapop

Download from Market an app called "Titanium Backup", it will do the job. |

Does Barnacle Wifi Tether, when *START*, disable the Wi-Fi on the phone itself? it does that to mine. Does wi-fi tether only works with the mobile internet? I guess so. but that's fine, I'm just confirming...
when I do get mobile internet service via my operator, it will come very handy.

@ Big_D make sure you back up your apps using Titanium Backup before you remove them, just a precaution but I wouldn't do anything without backing up first.

Anyone here managed to get their X10 to access files on a window server 2003 a) through wlan and/or b) through vpn?
I read Astro can do WLAN and VPN and ES File Explorer can do WLAN but can't get either to work. I'm starting to think I've got my server not setup right..
Did you get any help on this issue? i tried wlan with astro and BT, i could browse my shares on my w7 machines but i could not view any files, just see them. if you get what i mean. i did want to browse my pictures from my phone but it never worked :/ not even tiny .txt files

No luck as of yet. I need to do a bit more research about Win Server 2003 first I think. I think my issue lies there. I can't even get into seeing shared folders.
