NFC chip is on the battery cover not the battery.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] longus catus:
Yeah... and not all of them have NFC. The QCell doesn't.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] bigjonmoo73:
Do you guys have any further reviews for those batteries? Really considering on getting one and wanted to see what you would suggest.

What is RUU?
[HTC One V] cybervibin:
RUU is a file for htc which contains all ur phone info

But loader

Drivers

Etc
[HTC One V] Ken-Shi_Kun:
RUU is the software that is used to flash back the phones OS into a factory state.

ROM Update Utility for long, it is an exe that contains all the things needed for the phone to work, like kernle, recovery, tha OS itself etc...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markpab:
Hello all. I was wondering if there was a way to pin your favourites onto the start screen as a tile? I know you can pin a website onto your screen, but it would be convenient if you could go straight to your favourites. I have a HTC titan. Thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
As in, go the Faves list? I think this has been requested before. You'd have to write an app to do it, I believe; it's possible to retrieve the Favorites list, but I don't know of a way to shortcut straight to it in IE.
[Droid RAZR M General] got556:
Okay all, just trying to help out.

G/F has the M and it's rather flaky with FoxFi and getting tether to work. Therefore to help some out, buy SQLite (original RAZR and MAXX owners should be familiar with this) from the Play Store.

The path will be "data/user/0/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/databases"

So select data > user > 0 > com.motorola.android.providers.settings > databases > settings.db > settings

After selecting settings a list will pop up. You can do one of two things. Tap the magnifying glass and type "entitlement_check" and search for that, or scroll down to line 68 (yours may be a different line) and select it.

Tap the pencil icon.

You will see a new screen that has _id "auto", name "entitlement_check", and value "1". Change the "1" to a "0".

Hit save.

You should now be able to use the stock VZW hotspot app.

(This is on stock rooted ICS, not sure if this works on the Jellybean leak, but should tide us over til some custom roms get rolling that bypass this altogether.)
[Droid RAZR M General] RoboCuz:
This worked great on the JB update, thanks! I did need to reboot after making changes to have it take effect, but otherwise, worked great. I was able to do both WiFi hotspot and Bluetooth tethering.
[Droid RAZR M General] jguidera:
Interestingly I don't need to do this to enable the hotspot even though I don't have unlimited data. Are you sure it's even required anymore?
[Droid RAZR M General] got556:
Unfortunately for unlimited data users it is required. We don't get free tethering as tiered data users do.
[Droid RAZR M General] aznguyen316:
Thanks seems to work fine.
[Droid RAZR M General] cpupeli1:
worked like a charm thanks!
[Droid RAZR M General] aznguyen316:
Used it to upload several movie files to my dropbox lol. 20mbps up is so amazing vs 2mbps on home wifi. Uploaded a video to youtube too. Unlimited data, gonna stick it to the man!

*edit* I'm on the Jelly Bean leak.
[Droid RAZR M General] hokieputter:
Thanks!! This worked perfectly on the JB OTA. Made the changes, reboot and BOOM. Testing the tethering right now...
[Droid RAZR M General] got556:
Glad its working for you guys. My Dev M should be here tomorrow. So I'm excited to be in this neck of the woods for a while now. As others have confirmed...this does work on the JB OTA. :good:
[Droid RAZR M General] motoman07:
What am I doing wrong

Excuse my ignorance but I seem to be falling short here... what exactly are you guys doing? From inside the SQLite manager I'm selecting "data" but there is no "user" after that! Also checked Astro File Manager. Please help
[Droid RAZR M General] aznguyen316:
Guessing you're not at the root directory maybe? Do you have root explorer? Haven't used Astro since my old phone no Gingerbread so not sure if it has root access.
[Droid RAZR M General] got556:
Motoman, sorry bud, was at work and just got home. Got your PMs bro. :good:

Okay is your M rooted? If so then SQLite should find the root directory. (Going to come back and edit this in a minute)

ETA:

Okay in SQLite there are four tabs at the top. APPS, FILES, BOOKMARKS, RECENT

Hit the FILES tab.

Then scroll down to "data" folder and select it. Your "user" folder should be all the way at the bottom after selecting "data"
[Droid RAZR M General] Yufice:
rooted on JB OTA. Worked perfectly after a reboot! Thanks
[Droid RAZR M General] aznguyen316:
Welp thanks to tethering and the awesomeness of LTE uploading I have used an ass load of data. I uploaded some music and TV shows to my dropbox for some friends.
[Droid RAZR M General] motoman07:
Nevermind I was using the wrong app. Works great, thanks!
[Droid RAZR M General] commuterbox:
Thanks. Works great. I am rooted on jellybean OTA.
[Droid RAZR M General] dyskinesia:
Sorry to jump into old thread but considering a RAZR M for my wife but need to be able to do wifi tether. Currently on old unlimited alltel plan on Verizon. Is regular consumer M able to be rooted?

Then wifi tether is still an entitlement change with SQL lite? Or do I news to buy development version of the M?
[Droid RAZR M General] got556:
You'll be fine on retail version. I have a dev m and gf has retail m. I used her phone to do this how to. We're both unlimited users also.
[Droid RAZR M General] Cpudan80:
Is there any way to do this without rooting the phone?
[Droid RAZR M General] alwaysbelieve1:
Man wish I had unlimited!
[Droid RAZR M General] jc1409:
Thank you very much for this. Is there a reason not to just use the stock Android tethering functionality, compared to one of the third party tethering apps like Foxfi?
[Droid RAZR M General] got556:
Us that are on unlimited data plans don't get free tethering. Verizon wants us to pay $30 to tether the data we already pay for. Now I do pay that fee BC I try to remain ethical.....but my gf doesn't have the tethering on her unlimited plan so I implement this for her and then help y'all :thumbup:
[Droid RAZR M General] stanlalee:
I thought there was a court ruling a long time ago that ruled it was unlawful to charge extra for tethering and Verizon had to abandon its tethering charge. SO how ethical is it to charge a $30/month tethering fee based on my unlimited plan? If my plan is unlimited data, its UNLIMITED data! I am suppose to be able to suck up bandwidth anyway I see fit so I don't feel bad at all. I'm more worried about getting caught by the Verizon police and having my plan forcefully changed. If/when AT&T or Sprint get LTE in my area I'm immediately switching.
[Droid RAZR M General] jc1409:
Thanks - sorry I didn't make my question very clear. I have unlimited data and have made the changes in this thread to my M. I was just wondering whether, after making this adjustment, if there was any benefit to using Foxfi, or just the tethering function built into JB. Thanks

Jeff
[Droid RAZR M General] ViperMeat:
I'm wondering the same thing.
[Droid RAZR M General] ezeuba:
Yeah, it works just fine. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I'm sure we all appreciate this. Now to uninstall the wifi tether root...
[Droid RAZR M General] stanlalee:
No, you can't access/edit anything in data without root access (I'm pretty sure root explorer allows the same editing without purchasing SQL lite though for those rooted and already haven purchased root explorer)
[Droid RAZR M General] dreamjaeil:
when tick mobile hotspot, pop up says "You need to subscribe to Mobile Hotspot/Mobile Broadband Connect from Verizon Wireless in order to use this service. Requires a data plan/feature of $29.99 or higher" and gives option to subscribe for $30.00/month. Is this normal? I followed all the instruction from OP and I have unlimited data plan as well as root.

EDIT: I just needed to restart the phone. Thank you for sharing the info! :D
[Droid RAZR M General] motoman07:
I actually figured out my mistake a while back. Was using the wrong SQlite app. Thanks for the tip!
[Droid RAZR M General] pardegt:
Wow, I've been reading this thread and now I am confused. I had an old Altel plan migrated to Verizon so I was unlimited. Black friday came about and Amazon was offering the M for 1 cent. I was like cool...but I didn't want to lose my unlimited. I went to 2 different local Verizon stores and was told at both whether I got the phone from Amazon or them ($70 at the time), I would need to sign a new 2-yr contract and would lose my unlimited either way. I went with Amazon and now only have 2GB. Is there a way I could have kept unlimited without buying a phone at full price or setting up a 2nd line?

Also, I have been trying to unsuccessfully root my XT907 but keep getting errors when I do. I am using a win7 pc and phone is 4.1 OS. I've tried several different methods but keep getting messages that it can't find files. I have installed adt, moto drivers, java and still no luck. Is there a tread out there on this that I have missed?

I want to be able to tether or use phone as hotspot to my tablet.
[Droid RAZR M General] je2345:
No you wouldn't have gotten to keep your unlimited
[Droid RAZR M General] pardegt:
Ok, but just wondering how others have been able to hang on to their unlimited plans?
[Droid RAZR M General] spc_hicks09:
Purchasing phones from places such as Craigslist, Ebay, Swappa and other places like that are how people hold on to their Unlimited Data. You can also simply buy whatever phone you want from Verizon at full retail price. Those are the only ways you can keep your unlimited data.
[Droid RAZR M General] stanlalee:
Simple. Buy phones outright forever or until verizon forces you into a new data plan. I got my M in mint condition on eBay for $360. Not a scratch and the charger and such hadn't even been opened. Just make sure if its a sealed phone it comes with the box (which is where the serial, esn and numbers you need to activate it will be). I'm still not sure it was the best move. I mean I paid $360 for a phone I could have gotten for free but I don't really think I'm going to save $360 by having unlimited. I do 90% of downloading at home where I could use wifi and I don't do enough streaming to make up unsubsidized phone cost. I used 2.1G of data between Dec 4 and Dec 27 and that's with 4G on ALL the time. I just dont like the principle of it being illegal to charge extra for tethering yet they are doing just that ONLY if you have an unlimited data plan. My $30 unlimited plan suddenly becomes a $60 unlimited plan. F*ck verizon! but damn the network is good lol
[Droid RAZR M General] spc_hicks09:
Anyone know how to do this yet WITHOUT the SQLite Editor?

Trying to disable the entitlement check in a ROM I'm building. I know it's something in framework-res.apk but can't find which file. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
[Droid RAZR M General] prosttyle:
This Works Great

I got an unlocked Droid Razr M from US, i'm from Chile and thanks to this i got WiFi tethering/hotspot and Bluetooth working :)
[Droid RAZR M General] DJrumbero:
Great Forum!!! Thanks to got556 i just got mobile hotspot working on my Droid Razr M. I got the phone two weeks ago and after getting frustrated trying to get free wifi from the phone and not been able to, I decided to take it back to Verizon and get a new Razr M and start from scratch. I got my new phone today. followed got556's instructions and MAN!! could not ask for more. I have unlimited data and a family plan. To keep my unlimited data I upgraded one of the other lines to the Razr M but I am using the phone on my number which is the only one with unlimited. Thanks again got556.:good:
[Droid RAZR M General] droidrage2010:
Thanks again OP, this worked perfectly on my new (to me) razr M.
[Droid RAZR M General] ChuckLezz:
I dont usually spend money on apps....but when I do, it can be worth it.

Thanks OP :D
[Droid RAZR M General] audiomixman:
$360 divided by the $30 increase in a data plan on "Share Everything" = 12. I'd say you got a good deal since you'll recoup the cost in 1 year.

I got my Razr M NIB for $350 from a Best Buy employee who won it in a contest at work and didn't want it. This will be my 3rd off-contract device via local Craigslist.
[Droid RAZR M General] poeskippds:

[Droid RAZR M General] UTC24:
No settings !

Motorola RAZR M 98.12.4.XT907.Verizon.en.US

4.1.1

base band:

SM_BP_1139.000.32.62.P

Kernel:

3.0.31-g2a89152

Hudson@buildlinux16#1

I just purchased this phone of swappa. tried to root failed once and messed up boot loader. re-flashed 4.1.1 via RSD lite

When I SQlite into "settings.db" there is no listing for ""settings"" only options are

android_metedata

bluetooth_devices

bookmarks

secure

sqlite_sequence

system

I looked in all these folders and saw nothing about "entitlement_check",

Anyone have any ideas?
[Droid RAZR M General] jpeckinp:
Installed FoxFi and set the entitlement to 0. Every time I try to run FoxFi it starts to turn on the WIFI and reboots. Any ideas?
[Droid RAZR M General] spc_hicks09:
Well to begin with, this entitlement hack only works for the built-in Verizon Hotspot. FoxFi doesn't need this hack performed.
[Droid RAZR M General] willdo7474:
Thanks this is working great for me. If you are having issues make sure you are not changing USB entitlement like I was and wondering why it wasn't working.
[Droid RAZR M General] bbraga2002:
Problem with connection

Everything goes well (I connect to Mobile Hotspot with my laptop, get IP address, etc.) except I get "limited connectivity" because I cannot access the default gateway. Any ideas?
[Droid RAZR M General] dreamjaeil:
Mine keeps turning itself off. Can someone help?
[Droid RAZR M General] stanlalee:
Yep stop using it and start using WiFi tether for root users again. The hack must no longer work (mine use to work but now does the same thing as yours). So naturally I started fiddling around with Wifi tether again. Setting the device profile to Generic ICS/JB(wlan0) and enabling Routing fix and wala I'm right back tethering again lol
[Droid RAZR M General] lexbian:
NM just needed another reboot. (remember to reboot everytime you install or change something)

but on another note.... the settings .db isnt in data/user/0/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/databases on JB, its listed under data/data/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/databases in case anyone is having issues finding it. Or even simpler just scroll down to "Settings Storage" in the apps tab (there are 2, select the one with the tools icon).

Oh and thanks for this. I was sad losing FoxFi/PDAnet+ when i updated to JB OTA. This has my hotspot working again (I have tiered data @ 5gb, and this was required because 1 phone on the account has unlimited).

Add a Hotspot toggle to my homescreen and PERFECTION!

Thanks a super load for this.
[Droid RAZR M General] icords81:
Alright...my first post.

Rooted XT907 with JB. I downloaded SQL editor. Changed my entitlement privileges. Then I installed FoxFi. Rebooted. Tried to open FoxFi. The device instantly reboots. Then I tried using the standard hotspot app. My network shows up as FoxFi 51, but no devices see it. Computer, IPhone, or my wife's Motorola Admiral. This whole time I have had.SuperUser enabled. Any ideas before the wife gets upset about spending money on an app?
[Droid RAZR M General] an21281:
The hack, change entitlement check to 0 from 1, is for the stock tethering that is built into the phone. Under settings, tethering and mobile hotspot...
[Droid RAZR M General] icords81:
Tried that

Like I said, I used root uninstall and deleted FoxFi and tried to use the base application to create a hot spot. The network SSID shows up as FoxFi51. Network is unseen by any device that I try to tether it to. Any other ideas? I have an unlimited data plan...does that affect anything?

---------- Post added at 12:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:34 PM ----------

I got it to work. Even though it was configured as an open network, you still have to add the allowed devices.

I feel stupid, but it is working! Now I hope I don't get billed for being a hotspot. Time will tell.
[Droid RAZR M General] wacktool:
Forgive me for a silly question. Im rooted and im running the ECLIPSE ROM. WHen I use the SQLlite editor (browsing files) I have no data under the DATA folder, aka no users. Does this only work on the Verizon ROM/image?
[Droid RAZR M General] avishekghosh:
Is the stock wifi tethering working with Motorola Droid razr hd unrooted? Or it need rooting n the same entitlement change method like razr m?

Waiting 4 a Motorola Droid Razr M on MTS :)
[Droid RAZR M General] Germanese:
This method works with ICS JB and JB 4.1.2 Still !!!

It also works to make the Tether work on AT&T and T-Mobile with out having to have the tether hot spot account.
[Droid RAZR M General] jfriend33:
Gonna give this method a shot. Been using easy tether pro just fine pre root but now that I'm rooted I can try the sql edit. One less program to auto update. This method makes me a little nervous though.

I feel entitled to tether for the following reasons:

1. I tether less than once a month.

2. I have smart actions set to dc mobile data when on wifi. (translation: I don't bog down my mobile network unless I absolutely have to)

3. I'm not that guy who runs 15 or 50 gigs of torrents a month.

4. I have Internet at home and work.

(Hey we all have hard times or a lapse between changing providers but if you can't afford cable Internet you probably need pre pay).

I am not bragging but I am forever grateful I share a five line account with only two smartphones and three feature phones. Each upgrade between the two smartphones is ALWAYS done from the feature phones and new device transferred back. No losing unlimited data plan.

Even with the imminent loss of an old employee discount (I can't believe that went on as long as it did) there's no chance in Haiti I'm giving up unlimited data. My older 1400 minute plan runs about $230 with various insurances. Their new plan would cost us $40x2 +$30x3 plus at least $100 for data ($270?!?!). Most months our combined usage is barely 10 gigs but I'm not going to chance that overage.

I know this won't go on forever. Until then I can upgrade every year if I need to or if I want one earlier all I have to do is shell out $20 - $60 and get the elderly folks a shiny like new feature phone. Hey! I try to persuade them to get something like a kin twom with wifi (ooooo) or a better camera exilim (ahhhhh) but they just aren't interested!

[Droid RAZR M General] ccdsatt:
Any other methods?

So is there any other way to do this, I don't have a credit card, my dad normally gets apps for me but he is on a business trip, and those google play gift cards aren't sold in my country. This is the only reason I have to root my device so I want to know before I try anything. Also after performing this hack does usb and bluetooth tethering work?
[Droid RAZR M General] vrmcbeigh:
Do you have debugging enabled under your developer settings? Is the device properly recognized in devmgmt.msc? I've had issues with the Motorola ADB drivers. Koush has a universal ADB driver that works a treat.
[Droid RAZR M General] doohickey:
Cheaper alternative

This mod can be done on the command line without purchasing SQLite Editor. You will need:

1. Familiarity with the command line and SQL.

2. Root access. Normal users cannot read or write to the settings database.

3. A copy of the sqlite3 binary on your system somewhere. If you have Titanium Backup, there should be a copy in /data/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/files/sqlite3.

4. A terminal emulator (such as Android Terminal Emulator) or a computer with adb up and working.

Procedure:

1. Get to a shell prompt.

a. If using Android Terminal Emulator, launch the app.

b. If using a computer, launch an adb shell.

adb shell

2. Obtain root privileges.

su

3. Open the database using the sqlite3 binary. I had a copy from Titanium Backup. You might have one elsewhere. The settings database is located at /data/data/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

/data/data/com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup/files/sqlite3 /data/data/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

Use tab-completion to verify your typing the correct path (volume up + t in Android Terminal Emulator, tab on most computers).

4. You should have a sqlite> prompt now. Enter the following SQL command.

update settings set value=0 where name='entitlement_check';

5. Exit the sqlite editor.

.exit

6. Exit the su shell and the normal shell.

exit
exit

7. Reboot. Should be good to go.
[Droid RAZR M General] jimmypop13:
Thank you SOOO MUCH!!! I just tried this and it worked perfectly! At least I think it did. How do you know? I opened up mobile hotspot and it's working and I can connect devices just fine. Am I good to go?

My sqlite3 was located in the exact same place and for newbies to the command prompt like me, you have to capitalize the T and B in titaniumbackup!
[Droid RAZR M General] jannox1:
Well gee - i copied the sqlite file to sdcard then mounted it on computer and used sqliteman sql editor on windows. then put it pack and copy back under system tree.

But using internal sqlite binary would of bee much simpler.

Thanks anyways!
[Droid RAZR M General] dragon788:
You can use the free version of aSQLite Manager, it won't access /data itself, but if you mount root read/write and copy the settings.db out to somewhere (I put it in Downloads). Edit the file according to the directions above, and then copy and paste it back into data. Enjoy your unlimited tethering without dropping $2.99 for an app. I'm still tempted to get either aSQLite Manager Premium or SQLite Editor to support the devs, but if I can do something for free I like to go that route first.

I performed this on a new Droid Max on Android 4.2.2.

Network not visible

Long time lurker here... and i know this is an old thread.. but i just did this method on my rooted M.. and now it says my "mobile hotspot active" yet i see no such network on my computer. I put my computer's MAC address in to list it as an allowed device.. and still nothing. I've rebooted both my computer and the phone several times.. nothing. The USB tether works.. but no WiFi.... any ideas??

Works!

This worked on my rooted, carrier unlocked RAZR M, running Android 4.1.2. I used free aShell and aSQLiteManager (need both) apps. Be sure to check the Root box when starting aShell. aShell is the front end to aSQLiteManager. Good luck!
