Apparently its very easy to enable tethering on the Droid Bionic. Of course in order to get the tethering enabled you need to root it so follow this article to “Root the Motorola Droid Bionic” first.
Verizon and Motorola both have made the tethering more secure with the Droid Bionic than previous devices although we all knew that it was only a matter of time before someone got around it. In this case it was XDA member ddv2005 that found a way to enable tethering by changing one line using SQLLite Editor.
Instructions to enable Tethering on the Droid Bionic:
- Download and install SQLLite Editor
- Modify settings.db for “Settings Storage” application
- “Setting Storage Application is com.motorola.android.providers.settings
- Set “entitlement_check” to 0
- Reboot the Bionic
- Congrats your Done!
All of us that have or have had a device on the Verizon Network know that they are a very expensive carrier. While they may have the best coverage of any other US based carrier we still want to be able to save where we can and in this case there would otherwise be a $20 fee associated with unlocking the built in Wifi Tethering features of the Droid Bionic.
If you enable tethering on the Droid Bionic please let us know how everything went and if you ran into any issues along the way as we would like others to hear your experience to help them in the event they run into the same issue. Good luck and I hope you all enjoy connecting your other devices to the internet via your nice little Droid Bionic.
I only have 31 choices to choose from. There is no “entitlement_check”.Please help
