Help Xoom and Evo - BT tether doesn't work

[HiDef]

I've seen that some phones will establish a BT connection with Xoom and allow tethering for purposes of Internet access, but it seems that some phones don't support this.

I've got an Evo and Xoom-WF. After successfully pairing the devices the status is "Paired but not connected". All combinations of unpairing/repairing/rebooting doesn't get beyond this status message. I wanted to check if anybody has done this successfully?

If not it seems I'll need to root to gain tether, but I haven't done that yet.

Comments?

David.

you must root to get the evo to be a hotspot for the xoom if you dont want to pay for the service...
