Not if you don't want AT&T to change your data plan to one with tethering... They will change ANYONE who connects to the apn "broadband" to a tethering package, and are reluctant to give you back your unlimited plan (assuming you have one).

Yes and no. The "validation" that happens is simply a DNS check after confirmation that the phone successfully connects to the apn in line 7 of the telephony database file (the original "AT&T Tethering" APN.

BASICALLY this means that while turning the entitlement check off will allow you to use tethering, hotspot, and the webtop without actually already having a data plan, what most people will soon realize is that on AT&T you will still ATTEMPT a connection to "broadband" which will either immediately or after a missed call from at&t add a tethering plan to your account.

Change the apn setting, and there's no way they can track it.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Spectre51:
So to use the hsdpa speeds apn for tethering when following the guide do we just edit the phone/AT&T hsdpa pan instead of the regular wap.cingular/AT&T US apn Ut follow the rest of the steps exactly? If not can someone post or update the OP with instructions to use the faster hsdpa apn
[Atrix 4G Android Development] richhed:
I have not been able to tell any difference in speeds between the two APNs, in fact, it felt like I was being throttled even more quickly using the "phone" APN as opposed to the "wap.cingular" APN... I'm really not sure whether that's the part of me that dislikes changing things that still work or not, but either way, the answer is yes, if it makes you feel all better inside, you can substitute "phone" for "wap.cingular" and follow the rest of the instructions exactly
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Spectre51:
Do you have to edit that info in the SQLite, or can you just setup a new APN with the correct info and use that APN when you use the hotspot/tethering? Does changing those SQLite dbase values just let you edit the built in APNs?

[Atrix 4G Android Development] mcmackk:
I just tried this and I could not get it to work. I can connect as hotspot on phone, but when trying to use internet from different device while connected to the phone hotspot, the webpage will not connect?

I checked multiple time to make sure I made the necessary changes, but I must be missing something?

After you make the changes to the telephony.db file, what should the "Edit access point" under AT&T US Tether look like? This might help if there is something I missed.

Appreciate it, thanks!

Edit: Turned out to be my microcell not allowing me to access internet while connected to it. Now that the microcell is working again, the original post's direction works like a charm.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Spectre51:
I didn't edit anything using sqlite. I just setup a new apn from the instructions and it works fine with no other changes. Have used it for over a week numerous times and at&t hasn't changed my account at all.

So I am running KP's gingerbread beta 4 and the telephony.db is different then what it was back on gingerblur.

it says

1 - tmobile

2 - att us hsdpa

3- att us mms

4- att us tether

5 - att us

6- rogers internet

7- rogers media

so changing 4,6,7 and as mentioend in the instructison don't really work since the lines are different.

So I tried the orginal instructions of making a new apn and trying that out and selecting that as my radio (was the last numbered item in the telephony.db file).

Rebooted the phone and selected the new radio and it still doesn't recognize the hotspot...won't work.

So, any recommendations?

What about copying my telelphony.db from gingerblur (froyo) over to gingerbread now? Would that work or would that screw things ups? that telephony with these tweaks worked on froyo but since this is a non us gingerbread release, it doesn't seem to work.....

input appreciated!

So I've modified the MotorolaSettingsProvider.apk file for several edits, including:

Enabled MMS Reply to All

Max recipients of SMS/MMS increased to 20

AGPS Enabled by Default (was disabled for some reason?)

Disabled the locking of the Default APNs (so you can edit them if needed)

Enabled ICE (not sure yet what this does, but ICE is usually "In Case of Emergency")

Disabled Entitlement Check to enable Tethering

I created a CWM flashable update.zip file for you guys to test with. Keep in mind that for this to work to re-populate the databases you need to FACTORY RESET after flashing this zip. If it works I'll include this by default in my future ROM releases.

*Tested working on my Atrix! If there are any APN settings for other carriers that need to be modified for tethering to work please let me know and I can add them to my ZIP file!
[Atrix 4G Android Development] optikal:
I changed 3, 4, and 5 since my APN list was the same as rvt1000's, but tether tells me my account is not setup for Mobile Hotspot and to enable it at att.com.

There was one difference (beyond the order)... the apn type for the AT&T US Tether (#4 for me) was originally "entitle", not "default". I changed it to what you specified, but did not work. I also tried having the field be "entitle, tether" which also does not work...

Any ideas?

2.3.4 update with updated radio

Hey guys, I just unlocked and installed the 2.3.4 rom and custom kernel. My radio file is the 1.77.30p file... When I look into the "carriers" file, the line items for all ATT selections are not 4,6,7. They are 2,4,5. I followed the directions and substituted the line items to the corresponding profile names (ATT HSDPA, ATT Tether), but no dice. Actually, Im not sure about the hotspot, but I am trying to get the lapdock tethered without the plan. Any thoughts?

FYI:

HSDPA settings:

preload=false

apn=phone

type=default, agps, fota, etc etc, tether

Tether settings:

preload=false

apn=phone

type=blank

BTW, on the tether settings, the "Type" had the word "entitled" on it instead of anything else.

Is there an updated script or something? Or could it be reading off the backup xml file? Please advise.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] debaillon:
I might have found a quick "work-around" for those who don't want to root their phone or risk AT&T's wrath and their plan changing.

In playing around with my Atrix and Laptop Dock, I discovered that creating a new "web shortcut" allowed me to go where ever I wanted, over 3G (HSDPA+) without enabling the hotspot or configuring tethering. This kinda seems like a simple loop-hole. Right now I'm using Google Reader over 3G...no wifi enabled. Seems to me that I could make a web short cut to anywhere (or just Google.com) and get by this way.

[Atrix 4G Android Development] killap4oc:
For any and all of you that are having issues with 4.5.91 (Gingerbread final release for Atrix) and Webtop tethering working within Webtop read on now.

The reason why this problem is occurring is due to the fact that AT&T and Motorola caught on to the bypass for webtop and tethering. However, this problem is easily fixed, first start in this mod thread. After applying the settings in this thread, we will continue via the original instructions for tethering via mobile hotspot and tethering in Webtop.

Try this, all of the original instructions are correct, however substitute rows 4,6 and 7, for rows 2,4, and 5. In row 4 make sure that the field "apn" is corrected to "wap.cingular" (without the quotes of course). Make sure the type for row 4 is set to entitle <--(This is where things vary in the original instructions) Since AT&T and Motorola caught on to the fact we could easily hack in order to get tethering with our MediaNet plans they set up a proxy on firefox. Once you have the "type" for field 4 set to "entitle" this should fix EDGE/3G/H+ connections in webtop without AT&T's tethering plan. Also allowing firefox to change the firefox proxy effectively to wap.cingular, allowing us Android users to use our data plans to their fullest extent. =D

Also just for a reference. The original instructions say that the preloaded values for 4, 6, and 7 needed to be set to false. However this is not true in 4.5.91, the only reason to set these to false is only if you want to be able to easily modify them through settings-> wireless & networks and then the wireless network apns. Personally I left these values set to true, so I may not accidentally bump something and spend days trying to figure out what I might have changed. Anyway, I hope this post is valuable to some of you folks =D.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Phoneguy589:
I've been messing around with this for a day or two now and couldn't figure out what to do...I was trying to change the "entitle" word to something else to get it to work. Thanks a lot for posting! :D
[Atrix 4G Android Development] paravorheim:
Do you know if this would work with the orange gingerbread? I really need my webtop to work with data by tomorrow, and I'd rather not flash a new rom based on 4.5.91 just for that.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Tikerz:
This works perfectly assuming you've done the wifi tethering hack. I just tried it. Don't have to mess with APNs. Just connect to webtop and turn the hotspot on and then turn it off. You'll have connection through 3G.

I cant find an answer to this anywhere. If i missed something then im sorry.

i randomly get an alert for "international data roaming" on my evo. theres some text beyond that but it gets cut off. i think it starts as "you have entered internation...." and then its cut off. it seems to only happen when im connected to wifi. turning wifi off then on clears it. pressing the clear button removes it for a little while then it pops up again. it mostly happens at home, where i have horrible reception(0-2 bars), and has happened once or twice at work where i get ok to decent reception.

has this happened to anyone else? its been happening almost on a daily basis since i rooted back in January. hasn't shown up on any bills.

i don't have "international data roaming" enabled, nor do i have "national data roaming" enabled. "data enabled" is checked. "system select" is et to automatic.

this has happened on every rom iv used. gingerbread and froyo.

again, if theres something i missed please let me know.

If that doesn't get rid of the message then just reboot........Oh and don't worry, you're not being charge anything extra or whatever!

If that doesn't solve your problem, my advice would be to flash a sense rom or try another rom because to my knowledge, the CM7 rom is the only one that has that message pop up randomally.

I have read countless threads on here. So please do not say "search is your friend," or "there are posts" since I read them all, and it did not help.

Here is my setup, I am running Nexus One GingerBread STOCK (without root or anything else), and I do NOT have CWM (if I did, I would have no issue).

I want to root my phone, since that is not possible right now, I want to revert back to froyo, then root, then install Rom Manager/CWM.

I have tried PASSIMG, 'main version' error when using standard way (power + volume down)..

I have tried flashing roms, get authentication error.

I do not want to unlock my bootloader..

Can anyone provide steps (if possible) to revert my nexus one back to stock or earlier version so I can install CWM and used a rooted/modd'd rom?

Why don't you want to unlock. It isn't like it is going to hurt anything. And it sounds like you are not going to be able to flash the file because it is a older version. the easy fix is to fastboot oem unlock. HTC still honors the warranty for hardware. Also why are you wanting to go back to 2.2. 2.3 is fine.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] real1st:

Couple reasons.. First.. The warranty status (I just received this phone back from replacement).. that is not garunteed, it is subjective, its not across the board, and you can be rejected. Hence the warning when you try to unlock it.

Second, I do not want an unlocked padlock when I use my phone. Was hoping for another way..

Anyone?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaximReapage:
You have 2 possibilities. Firstly, check your radio version...if you have 5.x, that may be the problem, and you may need to attempt to reflash an older radio first, THEN attempt the passimg.

Secondly, wait for gingerbreak, root via that exploit, and then install clockwork or other recovery to flash an old ROM.

It is 5.x in order to flash gingerbread you had to update your boot/radio.

Yeah, albundy, that was kind of uncalled for. I think it's kind of silly, too; but he's asking for help, not condescending remarks.

real1st, you would need to find an older radio image...one of the 4.x's and attempt to flash it in fastboot using the "fastboot flash radio <radioname>.img" command. It MIGHT not let you do that, though...at which point, you may have to just wait for gingerbreak.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
+1

Your only options are passimg, and if that fails with the"main version" error, then unlock the bootloader if you wish...

Flashing different hboot or radio images won't help, and you certainly can't use fastboot to flash them unless you unlock the bootloader...

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
HTC does do warranty repairs on unlocked phones. You people keep bringing this up in thread after thread after thread. If your phone has a hardware issue that they cover under the 1 year warranty they will fix it regardless of the state of the bootloader.

They charge you when your 1 year warranty is up or when you do something stupid that would not be covered under warranty anyways.

All these people need to read the wiki and the forum itself. Just about every day since the OTA came out there have been two threads on the front page of the forum asking the same thing.

I look forward to the day that everybody's warranty has expired. There will still be these threads after a OTA because people don't want to void the warranty or see a padlock on the screen during boot.
