Wireless Hotspot hack procedure *Working*

****** UPDATE - Foxfi is no longer free - This hack still works!*******
Hi guys another poster tipped me off to the entilement hack to get the stock hotspot app working and I tried it and it works. I figured i would post it here to take care of people waiting for a foxfi update and to keep the procedure listed in the RAZR HD section. As always, use at your own risk.
Here's what you need:
SQL Lite Editor (not the manager) - it's $2.99 from the play store.
Here is the procedure:
1) Open SQL Lite Editor and in the default "Apps" list, scroll all the way down to "Settings Storage" but you must choose the one with the hammer and wrench graphic. There are two choices there - gotta be hammer and wrench. Tap on it to open.
2) Tap "settings.db" then tap "settings"
3) Scroll down to line 68 where it says "entitlement_check" and tap on it to highlight it and then tap on the pencil on the top of the screen to edit it.
4) Change the value from 1 to 0 and tap "save"
5) Use the back button to exit the app and hold the power button and reboot the phone.
When it starts back up just go into the "Mobile Hotspot" app provided by verizon and you're all set!
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reminder! I totally forgot about this hack from Bionic days..

Shoot...I came across your post and had to say I agree! I have a One X & an Atrix HD. I totally understand where you're coming from

So I'm getting an issue here. First off I followed the directions but I don't see a pencil anywhere. Regardless, I selected line 68 and hit the menu button to open it up and edit it. Problem is, I'm getting "error code 14: unable to open database file". Anybody got a tip?
EDIT: Nevermind, issue resolved. Downloaded an old APK which wouldn't do it. Guess I'm going to have to buy it now that it worked...

Pretty much the same trail I followed to the RAZR HD (with the regular RAZR and Maxx mixed in) although I have always been a Motorola fan since back in the dumbphone days (e815)
And I love it so far

I'm thinking about jumping from my SGS3 to the Razr HD Dev edition. Are you having buyer's remorse or would you do it again. I'm dropping way to many calls with my SGS3, even more than I did with the GNex. I really miss Moto's build quality..

Thought I'd tip you all to this, FoxFi works if you download the add-on thats in the play store for FoxFi.

by using this hack, when i use the USB tethering, I will be using up the Data i have on my plan correct? the only thing is that i dont have to pay for the Hotspot?

Anybody try out barnacle? If not I can test it out.
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk 2

Yes nearly every app had been tested essentially, including barnacle. Nothing worked when the phone was released.
Now, Foxfi has been updated and it works so hopefully all the others follow suit as well. Feel free to test it out and report back.

Barnacle is a no go

I 2nd ur opinion on expecting more from the radio. It just doesn't seen to get enough signal bars as other previously owned moto devices. I haven't had any dropped calls yet, but can't really complain it is a new device and maybe it can be fixed on a future update!

Im confused really...whats wrong with using the android wifi its working fine..Does foxfi do anything special that the android wifi app doesnt?

For those who haven't seen it yet...

...an article I found on the 'net listing supposed "official leaked" information about the timeframe for us RHD/RHDMaxx users (and other Motorolas) getting the new 4.2.2 version of Android. LIke one of the comments states, it's interesting that there is a timeframe to update software that we haven't even received as an update yet
Also it talks about a Nexus Motorola... possible next phone purchase?
http://androidcommunity.com/rumor-m...-nexus-and-android-4-2-key-lime-pie-20121024/

2013?

You noticed that, eh?
Keep in mind that we haven't even received the 4.1 update yet, and if it's true about the RAZR X and the Motorola Nexus, our phones are already outdated, tech-development-wise. I was just happy that eventually it will be coming... eventually the key word...

Man I hope the moto nexus is true and unlocked!!!

Really - that is what I want. Razr Nexus. With LTE. On Verizon. With SD support.

Nexus won't be with sd support... Google want you to buy everything on the play store...

I'm getting too anxious.

They typically run them over the weekends. If it's this week I wouldn't expect anything before Friday afternoon.
I've been wrong enough in the past though.

Well, to be fair: the soak test for the original Razr was way before the soak test of the Razr i retail.en.gb (soak test for og Razr was around Christmas 2012).

Also much less work as its ARM.

I'm hoping (probably in vain) that we also get an update to "Key Lime" since Motorola now belongs to Google. But let's face it. Since our wonderful phones don't have much development happening, x86 might just die as a smartphone architecture.
Sent from my XT890 using Tapatalk 2

Well, Intel announced a new dual-core x86 processor and a few new phones so I don't think it's going to die anytime soon...

I saw too the new processor. A dual-core that reaches 21400 points in benchmark... Very surpresely.
I think motorola won't update RAZR's to 4.2.1... It's just waste of time and work. They'll probably focus everything in Key Lime Pie and then completely forget the today RAZRs to new ones. Don't expect too much from them too. As the link says, maybe in the end of 2013.

Uhm, no. The Razr HD will get 4.2.x I was told so they won't forget about at least one Razr family member.

Razr HD Maxx

Hello. I just picked up a razr hd maxx and turns out it was a demo model at the local verizon store. I've searched the forums but haven't found anything on it, but is it possible to root it? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advanced

There's a ton of threads on xda about routing this phone. Assuming it was a working demo and not a dummy demo, you should be able to root it. Unlocking it will depend on if it's been updated to the latest. If it has then it's not in unlockable.

Ah I see. What would be the latest software or firmware version? Also we're from the same city lol

Nice! I'm not sure but I'm sure a Google search will easily yield you the version number. Sorry I'm not trying to be unhelpful but the info is there. You can download the utility from the development section and it should have all that info in it for you as well as the root exploit. Should be fairly easy (less then a couple minutes.) Good luck

9.18.79 or 9.20.1, either one = no unlock for bootloader (probably ever)

That's a shame.

Not even worth the time man its not going to happen. We were lucky to get the first exploit and now this phone is last year's model it ain't happening.
