Describe the symptoms. It took several tries for me to get it working, which included rebooting the phone, entering my WPA key twice in Wireless Tether's settings to get it to "stick", and rebooting Windows (Win 7's damn wireless is as flaky as XP's). I kept getting an error that my key was invalid, or "not recognized", or whatever the hell Win 7 tells you.

Once I got it connected once, though, it has worked flawlessly a couple of times since.

My phone won't broadcast the signal. It broadcasted it once but my computer said it couldn't connect to the internet. I just updated to 2.5.2 sense last night. I updated from the leaked ota. The wireless tethering worked with the leaked ota. The leaked ota wasn't froyo it was the update for 720p recording.

Also I never updated my radio when I updated my phone from the 2.1 leaked ota to sky raider 2.5.2 sense. Is the radio needed for anything

If you read the Skyraider post it says to rename the WT folder and to download the WT updated apk which He has posted on the post itself.

don't think so. once you root, you are rooted until you un-root it. Just run titanium backup and save everything, flash the rom, download TB and restore all your apps.
