I used this same method and posted a revised services.jar in my RoyalGinger thread a few days ago. I believe I only heard back from one maybe two guys but it did not appear to work.
And if you read that thread you linked, most of the people who actually tried it did not ultimately have success in the end with this either.
However, I will post mine in the off chance that it might work for someone.
It seems from reading the other G2 thread that this needed to be applied BEFORE you actually got throttled for the month. (but again, it appears this may not work at all anymore...)
**THIS WILL LIKELY ONLY WORK WITH ROYALGINGER AND LATER CM7 BUILDS** because it's based on this framework.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- download the zip from this post, extract the modded services.jar & put it on your computer (in the example commands below, it assumes its in your root C:\ folder but if it's elsewhere just add on the appropriate path after the C:\ )
- reboot into recovery & connect your phone to PC via USB
- open a command prompt, terminal, etc. on your PC/mac/toilet and type:
adb shell
mount /system
exit
adb push C:\services.jar /system/framework/
adb reboot
- all done
i've never tried this before and i'm not throttled so i can't test it ... this will probably make your settings > wireless & network > mobile networks menu force close .. but with the power widgets to switch network type the only thing you wouldn't be able to change are APNs .. either way, i included a virgin/unmodded services.jar that you can repush anytime you need to get back into that menu (make sure to rename it services.jar before pushing the unmodded one back to /system/framework/)
good luck!

I know that being throttled for a supposed "unlimited" service sux, but trying to hack your way around the limit is not something I would do or agree to either. This is more of an ethical issue.
On the technical side, I would be surprised that T-Mobile network is so easily fooled by anything on the phone side. They should be able to throttle based on your unique SIM ID rather than whatever settings or APN server from your phone.
Every time you turn on your phone, they know about your SIM and IMEI number from their server, from those 2 information, they know about your phone number, your personal information, your approximate location relative to their towers and which phone you are using.
It doesn't work.
@ckisgen, Yeah I noticed that most people were unable to use this but on the rare chance this does for work someone they'll be awfully happy lol. I got tethered once when I didn't have wifi at my house, needless to say it sucked. Thanks for posting your zip, instructions, and for all the work you do in the community.

Grab root explorer
Download the patch
Grab the edited services.jar not the unedited patch.
Get astro from the market or whatever file explored u like.
Go to your downloads folder in astro- highligh the services folder until a menu comes up hit edit then select move hit home on astro
U should see paste at the top in astro hit it itll put it in the root of sdcard
Grab root explored and the edited services.jar hold it hit edit in root explorer scroll down to to move then hit back once go to system folder in the main menu find framework in the system folder youll see the old services.jar dont touch it hit paste at the bottom in root explored itll asked to to overite it hit yes and it will then exit root explored reboot your phone and your free from the throttling enjoy yay!!
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
I don't see how this would work. Your data usage is not tracked phone side its tracked server side by T-mobile. Just because you don't get throttled after 5GB doesn't mean that it will work all the time.

Yeah, that is it. I always delete that file so it doesn't run all the time in the background.

i think the dm (device manager) server must be wonky lately. This service starts up by default, but is usually invisible (except when you check what services are runnin), but lately i have seen a notification icon on the notification bar saying that it is trying to connect.
Dunno what it does. Probably sends demographic and activity info back to t-mobile and google
easy. tmobile is obviously testing for device responses to the dm server so that they know how many vibrant users there are. this will determine the length of time between the beginning of mass froyo release and the end of the rollout.
damn. now "rollout" by ludacris is stuck in my head lol
Yea Device Management(DM) is used to push updates to Tmo's android phones. I've also seen it been used by tech support to manually push the update or reboot the phone(Back when I had the Behold II).
I would have thought the rom makers would have removed them from their images.
But gallagherm1993's idea sounds reasonable, but I would say if you aren't seeing these things(Like myself) dont worry bout it. For the curious, you can use AnyCut to access DM's interface, and force an update check, but unless its been marked ready for your IMEI, it wont work.
I know that *#*#4636#*#* works for some general info on the phone, but what I would really like to do is recalibrate my touch screen. Anyway I can do that? Also, I think it would be a good idea to start gathering the list of the codes for the Evo Shift 4G. Anyone know of any other working codes?

Call Sprint and tell them you want it. Sometimes they'll ask why, but I have never been denied. I always tell them the truth. I like to reset and adjust things all the time. It has never failed.
Called Sprint today and asked. They said " No problem sir hold on....here is your MSL"

It would be cool to have the animated honeycomb logo with sound but honestly, I am glad it doesn't make a sound when starting up and shutting down since there's no "silent" switch like on many phones.
Yeah i have the R2D2 droid 2 and every reboot i hear him scream.
I checked the bootanimation binary and there is no sound support. We will have to wait for source code.

If i could back up i would really try this. :/ damn google and not making the sdcard work on launch. who does that? lol
I did see the system.img for your device but, I do not speak from experience.lol I did see people getting back to stock. I've been watching this device pretty closely, as I am working with a honey port for the mt4g.
My SDK port of honey runs fine after the script but as I said the audio is dead anyways. You can open the script with a text editor and see what it creates or alters, so you could back those files up and push then back if you see problems after the script.

im new to the android thing but would changing the fingerprint in build.prop file be enough to trick the app into thinking the phone is supported?
havent tried it myself yet..
They got it to work on nook color by just editing the build.prop
ro.product.model=HTC Vision
ro.product.manufacturer=HTC
And then rebooting.
Has anyone else tried this?

I did notice there is 5 .so files device{1-5}.so when you unzip the .apk file. I tried mucking with .js files to force the app into accepting a device string instead of polling the device but I'm failing at creating a workable apk file.

Hi. I'm new to the forums, but just figured this out - so be gentle.
This basically tricks apps into thinking your phone is a Nexus One
Download and install the netflix.apk (not sure if I'm allowed to post - I'm sure you can find it.)
1. Copy /system/build.prop to a local directory and change the following settings:
ro.product.name=libra_passion
ro.product.device=passion
ro.product.board=mahimahi
ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion:2.3.4/GRJ22/121341:user/release-keys
2. replace /system/build.prop with the edited build.prop
adb remount
adb push yournewbuild.prop /system/build.prop
3. Reboot
4. Enjoy
How to I get to step one? Sorry I am a noob to this. Please help! Or could you post the modded apk?
Any side effects of changing those settings?
Here are some better instructions.

Same play for 2 seconds and then goes to the main menu screen. Both on 3G and Wifi.
I might get a membership for this, but I don't have an unlimited data plan and don't want to think of the charges I'd ring up. If I'm at home with my wifi I'd just use a TV.
Unless there's a way around that?
I just installed the Netflix apk file and it worked like a charm. I didn't edit anything. Also as for data usage refer to this http://blog.netflix.com/2011/03/netflix-lowers-data-usage-by-23-for.html. it mostly depends on your settings but it can, in turn, consume quite a bit of data.
