Infrastructure Mode WiFi Tether (Bounty Thread) - Motorola Droid X2

There have been several threads on this subject, including the most recent here.
In a nutshell:
The current Wifi tether application, avalable at http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com, can only run in adhoc mode on the DX2. Unfortunately, many devices can only connect to Wifi hotspots running in 'infrastructure mode.'
I will start the bounty at $10 for a Wifi tether app that can successfully share my DX2 as a hotspot running in infrastructure mode.

This can only be done by editing the kernel which can only be done by unlocking the bootloader. You're better off contributing the money into unlocking the bootloader.

Will an unlocked bootloader allow any hacks to get qpst to work? On the fascinate, that was the most reliable way to get infrastructure mode to work using the stock hotspot app.

Qpst works. I used it to set my vocoder to evrc-wb and removed the [email protected] to allow tethering.

Apparently qpst works until you reboot and then the file gets overwritten, althugh I have not tried myself.

No, I get it to stick.
I do not have a "step by step" but:
Read the post by Cellzealot ( my prev post)
use radiocomm to "unlock seem" (00....)
then QPST, I did vocoder and tethering
Then radiocomm to relock the seem (01...)

The relock to make it stick is my own workaround.

Radiocomm is about as clear as mud... I can't connect, it tells me my datacard doesn't match or some crap. I have pollled devices searched for devices and I have no idea what I need to do with this tool to unlock the seem and relock it.

It would not hurt to do the whole process in airplane mode.

Ok, I did the following steps (see attachments) and after all this it still brings me to the vzw launcher page telling me how to add the service to my account.

Well, so much for that!
This is new. I was tethering about a month ago then I had to do a *228 so the fix was lost.
So is this the end of free tethering?
Thanx for the pics BTW.
Did you put 01 back in the seem?

Yeah, they fixed the loophole. I did several attempts, tried both @vzw.com, @vzw3g.com.
Hate that I did all those sceenshots for nothing, but maybe someone will come across this, even for a different phone. I found one in the Fascinate forums that clarified a few things for me.

wow, and to think on my TP2 a single readily available .cab did this

Yes, with gingerbreak
Once you update to the latest Atrix 4G release, do not downgrade to a previous version or you will lose functionality. A file system change was made to improve data integrity (for the technically inclined, journaling was enabled on a partition). Once updated, the change cannot be undone through flashing.
Is it safe to flash back?

i tried using the command prompt before and have tried to learn but i can never get the hang of it....or it never worked for me
only reason i was trying to root (was) is so i could do my hotspot seeing as me and my wife do storm chasing and need the access to the internet but i can setup a whole new apn and do the samething......just have to find att apn settings again
ginger break installed or popped up after trying several time the three different ways to get it on the phone....owell thanks for the help

Download SQLite Editor
Go to: Settings Storage (2nd one) > settings.db > settings
Once you're there, find "entitlement_check" and change the field to the right from "1" to "disabled"
Then reboot your phone and you should be able to tether.
Hope this helps.

Flashing your phone is fairly simple, I recommend you use RSD Lite to flash this SBF:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138204
It will unlock your bootloader and root your phone w/o you having to do anything but flash the SBF.

Hi,

I rooted(i think/hope) my att us Atrix via fastboot and preinstall.img
downloaded superuser and terminal emulator and ran a script found somewhere here
Then download SQLite editor from the market to access the file quoted above and make the change that enables wifi tethering.
PROBLEM: When i try to access the place where the DB file is(or should be) editor displays "not a database file" and this happen with any DB file.
Any ideas why that should happend??? Might it be phone is not properly rooted? SQLite editor does say "sqlite has been granted superuser access"

1. Go to Settings/Application/development menu and make sure that USB debugging is checked
2. Open Notification screen by swipe down from the top of the screen, you should see USB connection. Choose that and make sure choose "Charge Only" and click OK
3. Download Superuser from Market and install it on your phone.
4. go to Settings/Display/Screen Timeout and choose never
5. Download drivers, ADB packages, Root files from the link below and extract them to your C drive under Root directory (C:\Root). Then just follow the direction of the link below to root your phone.
http://briefmobile.com/how-to-root-motorola-photon-4g
If you follow the direction correctly, If i remember correctly at the last step your phone Superuser application should popup and ask you to allow the root process to access root. Click OK then you are root

[Q] Flashing from Verizon to Cricket

I will say right now, I'm a total noob, and could have possibly picked the WORST device to try flashing from Verizon to Cricket, but I have SCOURED the internet, and the more I read, the more I do with this phone, the more confused I become.
I tried (and failed):
* Loading a custom PRL onto the phone with CDMA Workshop 2.7 (Phone will not load with QRST)
* Changing ANY data in the NAM/CDMA Configuration and have the phone remember
* Seeing if there might be a custom ROM available.
So my question is: WHERE DO I START!?

Since I've had so much free time with my phone, I actually got the thing flashed.
Between QPST and the right PRL, my Incredible 4G LTE is now capable of utilizing my talk and text. The last thing I have to do is program an APN for the phone, so my question has changed now.
After going under Settings -> Mobile Network -> Access Point Names -> Create New APN
I tried creating a new one but the default APN (VZWINTERNET) remains default and I can't seem to add any new APNs on the phone. I already have the settings for making the APN work, but does anyone know a fix for the phone not remembering new APNs?

So far, just completed this walkthrough: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1986346
Fingers crossed it all works and I can load my custom ROM.
EDIT/UPDATE: So I completed the full bootloader unlock! YAY! Now to try and load the Venom ROM. Ideally, everything will work after loading the new ROM.
So it turns out, I still can't root this phone.... I have unlocked the boot loader, but USB Fastboot doesn't appear.
I'd rather edit the post than make new posts. Fixed the damn thing. I can load TWRP recovery, but now I can't seem to get Viper LTE to load right, it keeps the damn stock ROM. I've tried ROM Manager, and now trying GooManager.
Okay, so I was able to not get the Venom LTE like I thought I wanted, so instead I have Cyanogen 10.1, but the problem is, now I either need to...
A: Get the phone into DIAG mode (AKA ##3424)
B: Program settings for the Cricket network
C: Find a Cricket-specific distro of Cyanogenmod.
So random question time: Does the ROM have to be 100% the device I'm trying to alter? I.e. I cannot use an Incredible 2 ROM on an Incredible 4G LTE?

1) You're clearly artificially inflating your post count so you can post in the dev section (which goes to show that you don't understand the purpose of the dev section)
2) You're wrong.

Do not use another device's ROM on this phone!
A) Does *#*#3646#*#* not come up? You could try the 5/21 nightly and see if it comes up there.
B) Should already be included in CM
C) No such thing
This makes no sense.

Right now, *#*#3646#*#* gets me nothing, and my download from goo.im has been throttled to 4.8 Kbps... I must have offended them. Anyway, I'll give the nightly a try, unless you know of other codes that gets into DIAG mode? Maybe under the developer tools?

This app in the Play marketplace seems to work: Secret Phone Settings
Edit: So does this one: Hidden Menus

I don't see an option for DM Command Service, which is what I really need. I need to program my phone with the QPST software like I can with the stock ROM.
Of course, I've already flashed the stock ROM, but when it's obliterated for the NEW ROM, my phone dumps the CDMA settings. Also, where might those be stored? If I do a "dirty flash" to CM10.1, maybe I can keep where I programmed my Mobile Directory Number and all that info?
Also, I've already tried *#*#3424#*#*, *#*#PROGRAM#*#*, *#*#DATA#*#* and nothing seems to go through to get the DM Command Service.

This seems unnecessary. Have you tried the following in cm-10.1? In build.prop change these lines:
Code:
# Carrier definitions
ro.cdma.home.operator.alpha=Verizon
gsm.sim.operator.alpha=Verizon
gsm.operator.alpha=Verizon
ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric=310012
gsm.sim.operator.numeric=310012
gsm.operator.numeric=310012
# Access to Verizon/HTC apps in Play store
ro.com.google.clientidbase=android-htc
ro.com.google.clientidbase.yt=android-verizon
ro.com.google.clientidbase.am=android-verizon
ro.com.google.clientidbase.gmm=android-htc
ro.com.google.clientidbase.ms=android-verizon
to this:
Code:
# Carrier definitions

So where's my MDN stored? Or is it all inferred from the APN? I don't need to load a PRL?
Keeps coming back with SIM Card Added, reboot to access network. Cricket doesn't use GSM...
Doesn't work. Need to load a PRL onto the phone. When I dial *611, it gives me Verizon Wireless.

If you had read the first post of CM, you'd realize that you're just supposed to hit back when "SIM Card Added" comes up. I have successfully used QPST on this phone. See post 5 of this thread.
I take it Cricket is a sim-less CDMA carrier? If this is the case, then build.prop probably isn't sufficient. This is then outside of my realm of knowledge.

[Q] Commit Failed after entering MDN & MSID - No voice and data.

Greetings, I have been following advice on this server, and have managed to try a few different roms. I recently s-off'ed my phone thanks to the facepalm method, and I updated my radios to the latest firmware.
After the s-off, I got voice service back through "update profile," but I still had no mobile data. Later voice quit as well, and the drop down menu in any sense based rom always said "Looking for Service."
I tried a ##786# reset. I then did update profile and update prl again. After that failed, I contacted sprint and had them send a refresh signal, but to no avail. After that, they gave me my MSID, and I punched my MSL in and entered the MDN (phone number) along with my MSID.
When I hit commit changes, a popup appeared at the bottom of the screen that said "commit failed" and the phone rebooted as it should after 10 seconds. When the phone came back on, none of the changes had been saved.
I tried this both with the latest vipermod and meanbean. I have tried to flash the basic Sense for EVO 4G LTE rooted rom, but it resets TWRP partway through the install and doesn't boot. I'm looking for advice to fix this and get my MSID and MDN in.
Unlocked S-OFF SuperCID
CID 22222222
Hboot 1.12.0000
Radio 1.12.11.1210
OpenDSP-v31.1.0.45.0015
That happened to me after i S-Off'd. I had to call sprint from the phone and they activated the phone again. It was like it was on purpose. But it worked after. I don't know if that might help at all.

Thanks. I tried that the other night. Unfortunately, their refresh signal didn't work, nor did updating profile.
I just installed the most recent rooted stock and tried all the options again ##786# reset, update profile, and finally I manually entered the msid and MDN and got "commit failed" again.
No luck.
That's sooo lame. Try refreshing the signal again? I just remember calling them and this lady was talking so fast I had no clue what she was saying. Then my phone got a profile update and it got fixed.

How did you enter the msid and mdn? EPST in guessing?

Try via ##778# the first menu contains msid and nam settings contains mdn
If that fails try via QPST or dfs

Thank you. I will have to try QPST. ##778# didn't do anything on my phone unfortunately.

Check your build prop. Make sure ro.build.type = dev

I tried the build.prop editor and rebooted. I set it from user to dev, but it didn't take.

What rom are you on? Also try kernel tuner to edit build prop. I've never had a problem with a change not sticking.

I get the same issue with the latest rooted stock rom. The earlier ones won't flash though. They reboot the phone partway through the flash.
gunfromsako: I am on the latest stock rooted rom. 3.17.651.4 cl250500
I just set it to dev and rebooted. I still get "commit failed" where is the MDN and MSID located? I have a sneaking suspicion that the file is either not there, and not getting written, or it's set to read only.

They are on the nv partition... I would suggest at this time to use qpst or dfs... Ive never had to mess with those values as they should be automatically programmed OTA

Thank you. I got QPST running. What should I be looking for? I can't find MSID and MDN, but I may just be blind.
Edit: I tried to enter my Directory # and my MSID in IMSI_S. It did not write, and I received a NV_DIR_NUMBER_I[0] NV_FAIL_S error.

Well you might just have took keep trying with different programs. DFS, cdma workshop, both should work. I'm kinda shooting in the dark here because like I said before I've never had to enter those values. I would suggest running a ruu and trying again in diag mode. And make sure you are connected to the phone and can read/write values.

Same problem on my Sprint HTC One
I am experiencing the same systematic failure of my Sprint HTC One taking any "commit changes" through EPST after rooting and s-off. Five days of deep forum searches have led me through the same series of actions the OP has taken. I have run through all the obvious EPST resets and attempts to "commit" my MSL and MSID on multiple ROMs, including the stock ROM. In ARHD and stock, I get 4G, but so far I have been completely unable to regain voice or text. There seem to be many fields in my EPST information that are not populated, for instance my Mobile Country Code and Mobile Network Code, but I don't know the corresponding information to populate any of these fields. I can provide more specifics if there is a troubleshooting method that requires it. I am curious, if after this amount of time, has anyone experienced this and solved it? OP? Sprint will continue to tell me that there must be a "cell outage" in my area, which I know is not the case, because I can drive 30 miles into my nearby densely populated city and the problem persists, despite heavy cell coverage.
