Wireless Tethering From S7 To Laptop

[TechRemedy]

Hey everyone...I've searched up and down on the forum and I can't find what I'm looking for. There's plenty of posts about sharing your phone's data connection with your S7...however, what I'm looking to do is the opposite. I have a sim card in my S7 and I want to share that data connection with my laptop. USB would be fine for now, but eventually I would prefer to create an Ad-Hoc wifi connection with the S7 that my laptop could connect to. Is there a way to do this?

Sideload Muller and Lemons WiFi tether to your S7.

When I run it, I get the following error:

No Netfilter!
Sorry, but your kernel does not have all necessary features for running this application...

Barnacle Wifi Tether works on my S7

When I run barnacle I get an error saying that Barnacle requires SU access to the hardware. My S7 is properly rooted though!

which software did you use to root it? r4 has never worked properly for my device. Universal Androot seems to do a much better job.
Thats what i use with barnacle

Maybe the better choice is to wait for Android 2.2 coming out. Someone on this board said it would come out in March

To be honest, I don't believe Huawei when they say 2.2 will be released for our S7. MAYBE when the slim comes out...As much as I love my S7, I am probably never going to purchase another Huawei product again.

+1 for Barnicle, you need to have rooted your device first.

I did root my S7 and Barnicle still doesn't work...I am going to reflash tonight and re-root...maybe it will work then...

Wow! That's a bit harsh isn't it. They haven't done anything wrong other than administer a poor customer service and they are not alone in that.
The Huawei S7 does exactly what it says on the tin (and then some) so I for one am totally happy with my highly competant little device.
We all knew what we were getting!
And the price we paid!

Barnicle will give an error about spa supplicant. Just select the option to bypass and it will work.

I reflashed...with a new rom that I hadn't noticed before...and after rooting via z4root, barnacle AND wireless tether are both working great! The whole tablet is running 100% better than it was before actually! Stoked.
