[Verizon HTC One (M8)] schwartz.matthew.e:
Coming from working for Verizon corporate, they don't care unless you're doing an obscene amount of data. If you're doing 100gb a month, expect to get a letter warning you to stop. They could also throttle you. In other words, don't be so ignorant to think you could get away with it indefinitely ;).

As for the hack portion of your question, it will either work or not. You don't need to worry about getting charged if you didn't sign up online, in store, or over the phone with old big red.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Sevinex:
I am not entirely sure of the legality of using ROMs to sidestep Verizon's tethering restrictions (with unlimited data), but seeing as how no one (to my knowledge) has had their service terminated due to tethering, I assume it isn't something Verizon wishes to pursue. If I recall correctly, Verizon's recent purchase of the 700 Mhz C Block spectrum came with the clause that Verizon could not "deny, limit, or restrict the ability of their customers to use the devices and applications of their choice on the licensee's C Block network." Of course, Verizon responded to this settlement by allowing tethering, but chose to charge the end user for tethering THROUGH THEIR SPECIFIC APP, MOBILE HOTSPOT. Good old Verizon, eh? This article does a good job of expanding on Verizon and tethering plans, however it does list that users with unlimited data "must" pay for a subscription service. However, as stated above, I don't know of anyone to get their service terminated for tethering (as I don't think there is any concrete way to prove that the data you are using is through your phone or another device, assuming you use a modified Mobile Hotspot or third party tethering app), so this exists as a gray area which Verizon doesn't seem to be acting on. If anyone here has more knowledge on this, or is able to correct me on anything above or below, that would be much appreciated; I too would like to be as up to date on all of this (like the OP), so any and all information is welcomed.

Actually, if you follow the instructions in this thread you can enable tethering in Verizon's native Mobile Hotspot app. While this method is free, it still uses your data, so unless you have copious gigabytes of data (or unlimited data) I would be careful here.

If you have not "hacked" your Mobile Hotspot app to support free tethering (as shown above), then it will simply prompt you to sign up for a Mobile Hotspot subscription (which you can deny). If you are using a third party app, and are still unable to enable tethering, the app will simply not work. You will not get charged for a Hotspot subscription, nor will you be automatically enrolled. One thing to be careful of here is the MyVerizon app. Even though it has nothing to do directly with mobile data tethering, I suspect recent changes to it are taking a very shady approach (thread 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5) of figuring out who may be tethering. After its most recent update, it has been requesting Superuser access from users who are rooted, and my best guess is Verizon is trying to collect data on which users have modified their phones/could be tethering. I realize I may just be grasping at straws here, but perhaps Verizon has found some definitive way to link tethering to having root access, and in the future may act upon this. I know that eventually Verizon will try to kick all users off of unlimited data plans, and since technically we are bound by our contracts signed when we first got unlimited data (which prevented tethering without a subscription), they could use this as leverage to force us onto tiered plans.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dlscott1111:
Thanks man! Learned a ton from you and the other posters. Thanks for the response and for pointing out the superuser issue. I blindly agreed to give them superuser access. Going to rethink that.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Ironkidz:
I have been using a hotspot through Fox-Fi and Root hacks for years, sometimes using up to 102gb in a month! Never got a flag, message, or threat from VZW.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Sevinex:
Sadly enough, it doesn't matter if you accepted the Superuser request or not, once MyVerizon prompts you for access, it most likely is noted in the app (that you have root access) and then sent to some Verizon database to be added to your “file"...

I applaud you on your usage, I have never broken 10 GB, though I assume that you use your Verizon mobile data for your home internet? Otherwise, you must be Netflix-binging like “cray cray".

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bejunk:
ah ok i know wheres the problem :) 1st of all there is NO ''adb mode'' adb is a programm that interacts with your android. its no mode.

there 2 modes:

a) fastboot(mode) --> blue led --> need for flashing a kernel via fastboot [adb does this] /connect phone while hold volume UP

b) flashmode --> green led --> need for flashing ftf (firmware files) via flashtool like you want. /connect phone while hold volume DOWN

so from now, why you want to downgrade?? whats your goal??

--> if you want just run stock (latest 587 ICS) with root forget about all just get on 587 firmware & use the ''e-root'' app --> done.

--> if you want to run a custom rom (with custom kernel), just do this: put rom.zip & other files like gapps on sd. put phone into fastboot mode --> flash kernel --> boot into cwm (by pressing continesly volume down on kernel bootscreen) --> install the rom like the instructins say. most (if not all) custom ROM & kernel are prerooted, no need to do it manually :)

anyway if you still just want to switch to any stock rom build, HERES a good tutorial & you can download desired fw there too.

HINT: dont connect phone until flashtoll gives you that popup to do it! now connect (powered off) phone via FLASHMODE (green led) for this you need to hold volume DOWN button while connecting.

im sure you missing sth ;)

good luck
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] TheProdigee:
I didn't know about this E-root app, thanks! My goal was rooting the phone!

But I'm still unable to get in fastboot mode. I'm holding volume up,connect the USB and sony logo appears.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] bejunk:
so how did you connected the phone for ulocking bootloader?? (it needs fastboot mode):confused::confused:

if you want to switch the firmware use flashtool!! (it flashes the whole ROM, INCLUDING kernel, no need to do this twice)--> & flashtool needs flashmode (hold volume down while connect)

fastboot is only need if you only want to switch te kernel.

if still no sucess make sure: dont do if allready...

-install android SDK (just press install packages, leave all like it is, google usb drivers are most important)

-install drivers for your phone from drivers folder in flashtool install location on your pc

also try:

-Go to settings > Security > Mark "Unknown sources"

Settings > Developer options > Mark USB debugging

Settings > Xperia > connectivity > USB connection mode > select MSC mode

Connect your phone to PC ( IMPORTANT > Skip PC Companion installation pop up on your phone.) and wait for the adb drivers to be installed.

good luck!

That's the point,I think i'm unlocked the BL,the flashtool log says that (Bootloader status : ROOTED), and I still can't get to fastboot mode. Should I reinstall the drivers or something?

anyone who can help?

thanks ina dvance.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoneWithABeagle:
Sounds like you are dealing with the Stock recovery.

To flash a custom ROM you FIRST need to flash a custom recovery to flash the ROM.

- For CM11 flash Philz Touch or CWM Swipe Edition through ODIN3.

- For OMNI flash TWRP through ODIN3.

This means: Get the .tar.md5 from Android Andi's file repository, install ODIN3 + USB drivers on your computer, put the Tablet into Download Mode, start ODIN3, select the recovery file as a "PDA" file, connect the tablet, flash it, disconnect after flashing, get into the custom recovery (Power + Vol UP), flash the ROM + gapps.

Or ... maybe read the OP post of the custom ROM you want to flash with a bit more care and attention - it's usually pointed out that you need a custom recovery in order to flash the ROM (stock recovery won't cut it).

I just got mine in and it's a lot lighter than the Otterbox Defender. Doesn't seem as bulky either. The touch response is a lot better too. On the Defender, the built in screen protector was a little loose and had some play between it and the screen. On this one, there is no play. The design is really nice. I only used the Defender when I rode my bike and then immediately took it off, with this one, I think I'll use it daily.

[One (M8) Accessories] zagtastic:
i ordered this last night and am excited. for under $10 shipped, it could be a steal.

quick question tho for elir41 or anyone else who has it already-- will it work with a tempered glass (MIME feather glass) screen protector?

my hope was to run the glass protector always and swap between this and the seidio surface kickstand case as appropriate.

anyway, ill post when i receive mine, but earlier feedback from those who already have the case is appreciated :)
[One (M8) Accessories] elir41:
I don't think you'll be able to use the tempered glass screen protector. The phone fits really snug in the first portion of the case and the built in screen protector lays right against the screen.

I don't have a screen protector so I can't give you a guaranteed answer, but from what i see, I don't think you'll be able to. Sorry man.
[One (M8) Accessories] zagtastic:
appreciate it man. after reading your response i did a little additional research and found out about the seidio convert which goes on top of the surface and supposedly offers otterbox-like protection. if this case doesn't work, ill just get that. probably a more elegant (but also more expensive) solution, anyway. regardless ill post in here when i get the poetic case and let peeps know.
[One (M8) Accessories] Tikerz:
You can probably just pop out the plastic screen protector. I did that with the Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro. BTW this case looks a lot like the Unicorn Beetle Pro. I wonder if maybe it's just a rebranded version of it...hmm...

So it looks like they have a clear strip at the top of the case to allow for IR to work. Have you tried it? Does it still work through the case?

The IR blaster doesn't work, unfortunately. The top strip is clear, but it looks like it's purely cosmetic. I think if they followed the strip through the power button cover, it would've worked. Not sure why they didn't.
