@Filledvoid
Looks like this mod has netfiilter added to it and I hope this works for tethering.

I'll try this mod tomorrow and let you know.

Yeah 4th step is same as flashing JD1.

According to that guide phone should reboot in recovery mode itself. If it doesn't then may be you'll have to do it manually.

I haven't rooted with this guide since mine is JCE, but steps in that guide are pretty straightforward, so that shouldn't be a problem.

But if you are not sure of any step, then its probably better to wait for someone with JD1 to try this and then you can do the same.

Hey I m successful in rooting my spica having JD1 in first try itself with those steps...

Thank You
I was about to ask you if something like that was possible since most of them are asking about the same links again and again and It would be easy if we had an Index.

We'll try to come up with some useful links, then finalize the list and create an Index

@Filledvoid
Finally got working wifi tethering
Modded my phone with LK2.02 mod( for netfilter)
The app from the link you specified didn't work, It creates a adhoc network and I'm able to connect, but ip is not assigned on client side.
Checked samdroid forums and noticed that app was modified to Spica and was posted in samdroid forums. uninstalled previous app and installed this one, and viola tethering works like a charm.

Let Me get back home to answer you in brief.
Go through that tutorial again on post 134
, and crosscheck each step. That might help.

OK I'm Back, What exactly is your problem, If it shows Samsung Mobile Modem, then there shouldn't be any issue!!!!!
Is Odin stuck at "setting up connection" or any other error ??

Here's my contribution to that index list.

Starting with the specs of phone, since it is not listed in India site yet, I'm posting Ireland Samsung's site.

SPECS & REVIEW

Samsung Spica

Spica With 2.1 Review by GSM Arena

OFFICIAL FIRMWARES

Samsung-Firmware.webs should be the one stop site for all our official firmware needs.

MODDED FIRMWARES, FLASHING GUIDES,
ROOTING ETC.

Samdroid Forums - You can find all Spica specific mods and rooting guides here.

Sameer Prabhakar's 2.1 Flashing Guide

Sameer Prabhakar's Rooting guide

I followed these guides to flash mine too, but I had many doubts while going through these guides, So I compiled my very own guide which I feel, is more plain and easy. You have to say if it's useful or not

2.1 Flashing guide by Harsha

I personally feel rooting methods from Samdroid forums are far better, so its your choice finally.

These are a few links that came to my mind. Share yours and lets create a better Index for this thread.

I'm afraid that can't be done without meddling with the database

 

[FilledVoid]

Nonetheless it has been done. You should have a single post for the Index now . Now keep them contributions coming.
