I know this is far out, but is there any way of tethering without root? I know there's a method by MasterTentacles that works on Samsung devices by getting your MSL and doing small edits to your APN settings, as well as a similar method for the G4. Could these methods be applied and made to work on the M9 somehow?

So I came across this:
http://droidbionicroot.com/droid-bi...i-tether-mobile-hotspot-on-your-droid-bionic/
Tried to do the same thing while running Scott's CleanROM GBE 1.7...the closest match is com.android.providers.settings (Settings Storage), which while it does contain settings.db, the file does not have a Settings entry. The closest I have come are lines in "secure" and "system"...there are multiple hotspot related items but nothing that seems as though it would have the same effect as the value edited in the tutorial.
Disclaimer: I am posting this in the interest of simple hacking, not necessarily bypassing a carrier's policy or business model. I am grandfathered in to unlimited data and I will, as long as I am able, exploit that fact on my LTE device, be it through "legitimate" means like Tether by ClockworkMod, Wireless Tether for Root Users (which I have as yet not been able to get to work properly), or by using some exploit in a Verizon-provided app. Anyone using any means to tether without paying for the service is solely responsible for any possible repercussions or consequences.
With that aside...anyone got any ideas?
Edit: I encourage whoever happens to come across this to try it on whatever ROM you're running. Post your results...maybe we'll come across something.
Just use WiFi Tether, it works the same and it's free.
I came from the Droid Bionic. When you use the Mobile Hotspot hack, the data you use from Mobile Hotspot app is recorded in a special category that is separate from your normal data.
Did I note that Wireless Tether isn't working properly? Perhaps it's because I'm on a Gingerbread ROM...I've read that Wireless Tether only works in infrastructure mode on ICS ROMs.

Works for me. Use the newest beta.
It works on GB with the latest beta. Works perfectly on ICS and all my devices pick up the signal no problem.
wifi tether does not work in infrastructure mode on gingerbread. The kernel only allows ad-hoc network with wifi tether. On the ICS roms it works in infrastructure.

I used to have a Bionic and used this hack successfully. However, I don't see this being possible on the Rezound. I believe the hack was possible because of the way Motorola designed their software. HTC is completely different.
Greetings from other sections of XDA...
Got a quick question... already searched and I believe I've found what I needed but would rather ask to be sure, since it's the lead developer's phone at work I'll be messing with... He's on stock ICS and want's to stay that way, except enable WiFi tethering... root is an option if it's needed...
So far I've found these solutions:
Root the phone, and load the Google tether app:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list
FoxFi:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ch_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5mb3hmaSJd
He wants the software to stay EXACTLY as it is, but with tethering added, and doesn't mind root if it's required...
Any comments or suggestions?
I hve the Razr 912 and FoxFi works great without needing to be rooted.
I am using FoxFi as well and it is very reliable.
I see patches for other phone that enable the native tethering within the stock phone. I am Rooted with S-Off and TWRP but I just prefer the stability of the stock build. Only complaint is that I prefer the Android stock tethering instead of an App.
Anyone know of or able to help with that?
Wrong forum try thr general or question forum.

I've tried a few different ROMs on the DNA, and so far only some of them have the stock tethering enabled. I think that the "provisioning check" on the DNA is done differently than other phones I've had, as I could enable tethering by using a SQL editor and changing a single value to make the phone think tethering had been activated by Verizon.
That being said, I tried the same thing and couldn't find the correct value to change, and I don't wanna mess up my phone, so I've resorted to FoxFi when it's not enabled in the ROM. FoxFi is nice because it sets up a VPN to trick your phone into thinking it's just connecting to a VPS instead of tethering through Verizon's data plan. Works great for me!
Is there a way I can use hotspot for my Tmobile SIM.
There's a hack to bypass T-Mobile entitlement check. I ran across it the other day and it seemed simple enough. Changing a key in data as I recall, which means root required. I haven't tried it yet.
I'm sure you can find it with a Google search pretty quickly...

I have an NEC Terrain that is carrier unlocked, I would like to use the hotspot/tethering features of this device but whenever I do it tells me it cannot check entitlement, which is the stupid restriction ATT networks place on it. However I'm using it on T-mobile.
From what I can tell It cannot be rooted, is there any way to use the tether or hotspot without rooting it?
It would seem almost illegal to restrict access to certain services once it's unlocked and you own the phone.... This has to be an issue for other ATT phones right?

You could try PdaNet. There's a good chance though that the wifi hotspot function will simply trigger AT&T's provision app though - it does that on my Galaxy Light from T-Mobile. There's a free/trial version, so it won't hurt to give it a try. PdaNet does have a bluetooth tether and USB tether too. USB or bluetooth tether to your computer, or bluetooth to a tablet with PdaNet Tablet running on the tablet.
Without root, that's probably about all you can do. I can pretty much guarantee you that nothing else on the Play Store will work.
