Root Wireless Tether/Hotspot

Just something to try...

1. Open Root Explorer or whatever root file manager you use
2. navigate to /system
3. mount as R/W
4. Long press build.prop
5. Open With and select Text editor
6. look for the line that looks like this:
ro.tether.denied=true
It should be under the # WIFI label
7. If the value is =true, change it to =false
8. Tap menu and tap "save changes"
9. Exit and reboot your phone
10. try wireless tether now
If it still doesnt work go back to build.prop and see if the change saved..

i have been trying for weeks now to get this to work and searched this forum and many others for help. i keep getting the same error to no avail. i saw a lot of peeps saying ignore it but some of the tethering apps say this is an issue on their "about" for the app.
i have a nook that i am trying to tether to my phone(samsung tu)so i can download books when im away from a wifi spot. its the simple touch(not the color) still working on getting it rooted but thats another story for another thread. i just need some help getting this tethering to work on my samsung tu. any one please help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!
btw i have also tried connecting to from my computer so i dont think its my nook that is the issue..
thanks in advance for any support or help anyone can provide?
