So I have my Thunderbolt rooted and on the Das Bamf "Son of a Bliss" system and I need it to tether to my Blackberry Playbook. I have Barnacle installed on the TB and it works great with my 2 Windows computers and my buddies MacBook Pro for tethering purposes. I just got my BB Playbook today and was so excited to tether it and its not working. Under the WiFi setting on the Playbook its not showing up as a source of internet bc the Playbook has a Internet Tethering option in the settings. So I turned on both devices Bluetooth to try to see if that would work but obviously I'm unsuccessful still. Is there an app or a way to make my TB send out that WiFi as if it were a router instead of a phone hotspot?!? Any ideas or help please! I tried to be as descriptive as possibly to paint a good picture. I have tried a couple other tethering apps also and still no success either.
 
There is no way to turn your phone into a router, so to speak. I know that some ROMs have issues with Wireless Tether. If tethering is as big a deal for you as you're suggesting, I would try finding a ROM that full supports it. Also, have you tried going to teambamf.net and asking in the SoAB thread if others are having issues?
 
Well thanks! It is a huge issue for me lol the reason why I bought the Playbook is bc I miss Blackberry and knew the TB 4g was tether(able) to Windows, MacBook and my iPad.... I posted on Bamf's site I hope to get some good intel on what to do...
