Hey guys is this possible without having your droid x rooted?
I am running 2.2 now and I am not rooted.
What are the options? Thanks
What do you mean "free wifi"? You mean wireless tether?

Try PDAnet (in the market)? I know it allows free tether but you cannot get to HTTPS sites...so you wouldn't be able to check your banking or e-mail...but it may give you a limited solution.
Why not just root though and get this without the hassle?
Yeah I'd just root and get wireless tether app. No harm in rooting and it's simple. Never tried what he suggested above but no harm in trying right? good luck
3G Mobile Hotspot - the app that comes with 2.2 build by default, seems to work fine and free. Tested it successfully. I should mention that I'm rooted, but it never asked for superuser, so should work un-rooted as well.

So you can use the hotspot feature without getting charged some retard high fee from Verizon?
Thanks for the help.

Can you root the Droid X running 2.2? Thanks mate.
You're quite welcome. But im not sure about 2.2 root. I haven't really tried froyo yet or kept up with the thread. Last i heard they were working on a root

Yep, that's my understanding. I'm not sure if it was the same app on 2.1, but it would ask me to subscribe to Verizon paid service when I'd try launching it before. So I just deleted it.
This version works just fine right out of the box, I don't pay for their tethering service.
I think I'd be more positive about this once you get your bill.

The 3G Mobile Hotspot isnt free, when you connect, and load a page it ask you to call customer service for the service...
Weird, sorry for misinformation then. I didn't get any prompts at all. It just started working. I'll have to check my bill then.
I just tried it another day again out of curiosity and thought I'd clarify after my previous confusion. It might help someone...
What happened was that I connected just fine using Verizon default app (hence my previous comments), but when I tried going online in the browser, it brought up a webpage offering to sign up for their tethering service.

This was done on the incredible. What you have to do is chance the dun within the programming settings of the phone.
Haven't figured how to access these settings on the droid x though.

Without root, you'll have no choice but to pay verizon $20 a month for it... even wireless tether apps from market require you to be rooted.

Before I installed CM7 I had the tether working on GB, but I had SBFed to froyo, rooted that and then installed a rooted GB, then I installed the TBH tether patch and presto! Working wifi tether... I'm on CM7 now so I have to use open garden from market, which works for me because my devices can connect to ad-hoc networks

Any suggestions on the best Tether app now that Root has been acheived? Is FoxFi still our best bet even though we have Root now? Thanks!

Root won't automatically give you tether. Most ROMs that come out have this enabled.
Confirmed, FoxFi is still working. I will be testing WiFi Tether Router this weekend.
Now that we have root, I'm going to attempt the same methods I used with the L90 via build prop editing and a database change. Hopefully it'll prevent the data from being logged.
This would be helpful.
A modified HotspotProvisioning would be the best and most light weight solution, I know the VS986 has this accomplished (in the General subforum), but I'm not sure about other models.
My H815 (TWN) has a "Hot Spot" feature that works out of the box. Is that because the phone is carrier unlocked? Or does everyone have that? It's in my status bar 'power controls' section. However, I have WiFi Tether Router installed as a backup, haven't tested it (came over from my G3).
There is a thread already about how to enable Native Android wifi tethering. It is a simple ADB command and a reboot. You don't even need ROOT. I've done it already on my Verizon model and I am not rooted yet.
It is posted in the G4 Apps forums I think. Although a google search would pull it up.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g4/help/how-to-disable-carrier-check-native-t3153900
It is posted in the Verizon G4 forums but seems it would work on all carriers. It enables the Native Tether option in the Settings menu and disables some sort of check.

Yeah, I knew that Root wouldn't automatically enable it, that's why I asked for the best app to go along with it.

As posted earlier, I can now confirm this method works for Verizon G4. It's a Hospot provision mod, so it uses the Native tethering option. Thanks great XDA people!

Must be nice.
The G2 also had built in Wireless Storage (a samba server) for accessing your G2 storage via local IP that had an option in the notification tray as a toggle. I don't think anyone has ever figured out how to move it to other devices outside of flashing the roms of phones that had it enabled.
HotSpot and a Wireless Storage port would be awesome.

And yes, this is nice. I had my internet go down in my building but wasn't worried...tethered my laptop to my phone and was able to use 8GB of the 20GB I have with Cricket for Netflix lol.

Carriers offer free tethering with limited plans. If you are on a unlimited plan, it cost extra. It cost $30 a month to add it to my plan.
I did what he said in this video and got tethering working in a few minutes.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3Di9d7w1so
It seems very simple and root isn't even needed.
There is a code that ends with #*# that doesn't work with sprint so this video is what I needed.

I have had several LG phones and this always works. It is very easy to setup once you have root. There is a post in this forum that walks you though the process. I believe it's 5 steps. I'm just to lazy to look it up.

Is their a custom Rom with Native Hotspot Available? or a rooted Guide to a achieving native hotspot for the Moto Z force?
If you're on verizon, no... In fact, to the best of my knowledge, even if you're not on Verizon a custom ROM with room hasn't been released yet.
I tried a NUMBER of different apps to create a hot spot with zero luck. Tethered via BT was the best option without root.

Yes, usually it is, at least on Verizon in the US. They want you to buy their tethering plan... get as much money from you as possible.

With your phone on remove your sim, go to mobile hot spot & tethering activate Bluetooth tethering. Put your sim back in and pair with your tablet or laptop.

Does that only tether over Bluetooth or you toggle it on just to activate the tethering?

Is 7.0 better in other aspects over 6.0 to warrant the update? I like the phone now but the low sound is driving me crazy with calls which for some this update fixes.

I can't really say. Phone had 7.0 when I got it. All android versions run together for me, tbh. They always say the new one fixes all the issues with the old one, but I can never really tell a difference. Been around since 1.6/Donut.
O alright. Well thanks for your help. Guess I'll give it a shot and hope for the best
Alright so there was one update in between the version I had and a second 7.0 that wouldn't let me do it. I'm on the one before the volume fix that I'm assuming just came out and it works. I'm not gonna do the next one as I need the hotspot feature so if someone wants to confirm on the latest then they can update the thread.

The hidden menu APK. it changes a setting from Operational mode to "Lab operation" and it enables use of GSM. So far it works with the G5, V20, and a few low end Boost mobile/Sprint prepaid LG devices.

Strange. Others are reporting working results recently guess they've never updated. Latest update on the G5 is working perfectly fine though at the moment. Sucks they have to patch the simple ways lol.

The G5 and the V20 are two different beasts as far as the software correlation..
The G5 was shipped with 6.0, the V20 shipped with 7.0, the menu options were altered to prevent unlocking with the V20 via this method..
Just as it's removed in the G6 as well.

Yeah the G5 both 6.0 and 7.0 working correctly at the moment. Hopefully it doesn't get patched. But I've never recommended using Sprint phone outside of Sprint anyway. I've never had a stable signal in fringe areas oddly.
But outside the US Sprint devices are sold on a large scale LG devices at least.
Also with 7.0 something that may assist others, with that hiddenmenu apk, you can go to the svc menu -> port check test -> enable, then set the usb connection mode to file transfer / Always and obtain your SPC/MSL using any qualcomm LG method reader.
The apk still has many uses!
It won't ever get patched in the G5, they can't as the network operation mode is a requirement since it was built in to the framework.

Awesome! Thanks for the info! I had strange issues with random battery drain and overheating during that battery drain with mine. So I got rid of it. I had a feeling something was up with a Sprint app causing it. But no one else experienced the issue.

I've been trying to get my msl from sprint for a few days now as im litterally having poor data issues where i know i have good lte. So if i do this do i just download an apk to read the msl or an exe program for windows. My main goal is to go into ##3282# menu under edit (msl) required. under lte and adjust my band priority from 25 to 3 and 26 to 2 and 41 to 1. So in theory this should work right.
