Now that we have root, I've been able to use this method to get tethering on my Atrix HD:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160452
My line number was 107 but yours maybe different. Good luck!
I did that change as well; however, i cannot change the hotspot name. Can you?
This doesn't belong in DEV.
I hope we have active moderators in this forum to move it.
Please try to keep this forum open to development only?

I use Droid Bionic method and it works. It's almost the same as Atrix method. Only we need to type check in settings and change entitlement to 0.
Can anyone post the specific app they're using for SQLite and tell my where exactly to go? I tried the method in the OP but couldn't find it. Sorry for the nooby question. I'm a fairly seasoned vet of Android devices, I'm just having trouble with this one. I'm rooted I just can't find the right file path in SQLite Manager.

Click HERE, download and use the SQLite Editor that I used and worked..
But the USB tether is still asking for AT&T auth.. any solution?

This is what I had to do to get tethering to work:
Based on what I read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1962752
1. In the settings.db change dun_apn_changeable to 1 (line 122)
2. Create an APN named Tethering and copy all the settings from your provider's APN. Enter ",dun" in the APN Type.
I did not need to make it active.

Per OP
- Phone has to be rooted
- entitlement_check changed to 0 (or disabled)
I used aShell and aSQLiteManager, which are free. The file is in data/data/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db entitlement_check is line 107 for me.
Apparently it's an APN issue. There's more info in the thread I linked. If I understand it correctly T-Mobile has a hidden APN for tethering. You can either replace it with modified APNs, as suggested in that thread or what I did was change the setting so that the tethering APN can be changed and then create my own. The AT&T APNs aren't used when on the T-Mobile network, so there's no reason to delete them.
Thanks, I know you have to use epc.tmobile.com with T-Mobile network. Just didn't understand the part of using SQ editor to disable the lock.

I can't seem to get WiFi Tether to work on ICS build 6.16.206 and was wondering if anyone else is having the same problem.
Thanks
WiFi Tether does not seem to work properly but I am posting this from my Xoom while tethered to D4 using the Mobile Hotspot with the entitlement check removed, so that method does work.
I don't like to use the Mobile Hotspot and prefer the Wifi Tether app, but it looks like it needs tweaking for these builds.
Hmmm. I tried the Mobile Hotspot SQLite hack and that didn't work either. It gets stuck at "Identifying" when I try to connect with my PC. Weird.
Free wifi works using Sqlite
I am using my mobile hotspot to send post this reply. After I watched a video on youtube on how to get wifi on the Bionic using SqLite Editor. I gave it a try and it did work. I don't know what to expect next from Verizon so if you wanna try it TIGHTEN UP YOUR BALLS AND SEAL YOUR BUTT HOLE in case Verizon decides to f* you up or break your balls because I am not responsible for the outcome
HOw to bypass Verizon Mobile Hotspot restriction to use wifi:
1-Purchase and install SqLite Editor over the market
2-Open SqLite, scroll down the list and choose "Settings Storage"(the one with the hammer and wrench)
3-On the next screen select "settings.db"
4-Then choose "settings"
5-Once on the MS-Excel-sheet-looking page, hit the menu button
6-On the pop-up menu select "set filter"
7-In the "Filter value" field type the word "check"
8-Click and hold on the "entitlement_check"
9-"Edit" the value from "1" to "0"
10-Exit the app and reboot
11-Check Mobile Hotspot under your System Settings and you are back onto free wireless tethering
N.B: For those of you, the cheap bastards, please don't try to snatch a refund by trying to uninstall the app within 15 minutes of purchase. Have a bit of decency, will you?!!!
I don't know why this won't work for me. I froze a bunch of stuff with Titanium Backup so I thought one of those may have been the culprit but after unfreezing everything I still can't successfully connect. Grrr.
Maybe that is why. I did it on bone stock. Try to bring everything back to normal then reboot. Once done try the method again.

I was able to change entitlement_check and now mobile hotspot can be activated, and other devices can connect to the Droid 4, but internet is not shared to this devices.

I didn't see this readily available and with many people not wanting to root and trip their Knox counter, I thought I'd show you how to get adblocking without root. This will work on both wifi and mobile data.
--First step would be to install Adblock Plus APK. I got mine from: https://adblockplus.org/en/android-install
--After installing, run the app once and activate filtering. It should now be blocking all ads on wifi only. To enable adblock on mobile data you need to add a proxy to your APN.
--Go to system settings>network connections>more networks>mobile networks>access point names. What you need to do now is go to you default APN and copy down all the settings. We only do this because you cannot edit the original APN it seems. Now create a new APN and enter in the copied settings. The only additional settings you add to add to the new APN is:
---Proxy: localhost
---Port: 2020
Make sure you set the new APN you created as active and adblocking should be working! I have done this on my T-mobile S5. Hopefully some of you will find this useful.
I can confirm this works, just tested it several times. Thanks!
Gonna give this a test.

I had to modify my proxy for wifi and the app seems to be working (I need to find something that has ads, ha)...but I'm unable to modify my AP on my sprint s5.

Hi guys,
Sometime Adblock Plus crash... quite annoying.
I've decided to root mostly for AdAway ...
it works well on tmobile croatia , just added new apn
Thanks for this, it works, but have to manually add proxy and port to every single wlan network.
It is working for me.
It doesn't seem to work with Verizon phones. Anyone no verizon get this to work? Apparently you can't even create new APN's on verizons s5
Works great. Thanks so much!!!!!!

And we have to do this settings in every wifi network or just once ?
Thanks
Followed instructions exactly. Filtering says enabled, new APN selected. Still not working for me. AT&T variant S5.

I live chatted with sprint to get the MSL and I thought they were giving me a BS code. Has anybody else received their code as "000000"? Yesterday it didn't work for me so I live chatted again to get the MSL. I was given the same number, but this time they also gave me the puk code which is pretty much useless for me for what I was trying to achieve. Today, while scrolling the secret codes looking for a service number to put in I found something, tried it, and failed and it automatically rebooted. Upon reboot I went through shortcut master for LTE functionality and I entered the MSL number as all zeroes again and viola, I could edit my APNs. Is this dumb luck or after chatting through sprint live chat is it possible they pushed something to the phone that took affect after live chat? Either way, I was able to edit what I need and now have hotspot working w/o the benefit of the tethering plan.
uuh, so the MSL is "000000" just to comfirm. LOL BUT you cannot edit APN type, at least i can't.

Funny thing is that "000000" was the msl for the S8 plus as well.. lol
I used the website activation trick (where you leave your phone OFF while trying to activate it from the website before powering it on) and it gave me '000000' and I thought it just didn't know what the MSL was because I bought it from Samsung... I guess it is really 000000?

And yes, the MSL is 000000. Just as it was on my S8+. I guess they aren't giving the phones unique MSL's any longer.

Data is data. Enabling hotspot in this way doesn't hide from Sprint that you are using data. They can see how much data comes from your phone on their network.
What It does do though is enables hotspot that you don't have to pay for. Although currently Sprint allows 10gb of reporting for free.
But if you do this mod when your 10gb is up you should still be able to hotspot.

I just tried it and it worked for me. I'd been using Easy Tether with my Note 5. Glad to have this as an option again.
I followed directions but when I launched the com.testLTEfunctionibility - nothing happened. Am I missing something.
Go into airplane mode, then come out, directly after hit whichever one you want to do (wifi hotspot/USB tethering) and it should work without problems. I have tried and used both. If you have an easier way, please share!

If you go to sprint.com you'll see on the front page they include 10 GB of hotspot data. After those 10 gigs I believe it's throttled. I've had this for as long as I can remember.

I just acquired a stock Sprint Z2 Force on Oreo 8.0 and the usual Airplane / Quick Hotspot tap fix isn't working like it did on the E5 Plus and Z3 Play, both of which were also running Oreo - the hotspot never activates on the Z2. APN's are all greyed out and locked and there's no way to add another one as of now. I need Hotspot in emergencies only, but I do need it for those occasional situations. Any other workarounds? Thanks!
Update - APN's can be added (not edited or removed) when the phone first reboots, but adding the dun command to the default "internet x.ispsn" APN - under a new APN with all other settings duplicated (as was suggested) - doesn't enable the hotspot as of now.
