Does the froyo mobile hotspot works on an unlocked Droid 2 global? Let's say in Chile with a chilean SIM?
(On my nexus one using 1900 mhz Entel Chile works well)
Yes, buid in one works fine.
But you need to create APN for the tethering "dun" type.
D2g will not let you create it manually due to Verizon restriction but you can use app from market (apn backup restore) to backup existing ones, edit on your computer to add the type, then restore. Works perfectly on my Rogers Droid 2 Global
You don't even need root to implement the 'hack'. If you have root, you don't need any app, just edit straight on the phone.

Leobg would u be so kind and briefly tell me the procedures to get that mobile hotspot working on my d2g with Rogers? I dunno what that dun type is, I tried googling it but failed thank u very much in advance!!
I received an Aria as part of the migration from Alltel to ATT. Phone service will not be activated until sometime in April. Everything here is CDMA, not GSM.
The paperwork that ATT sent said to leave the phone off until I get the activation notice.
Well, I was anxious to play with it so I pulled the SIM, thinking that it would still function for everything except phone, and it seems to do fine. My thinking is that without a SIM, the phone won't be searching for service that doesn't exist, but I can still use apps dowloaded via Wifi. So far, so good.
I have been researching rooting and updating to Froyo.
Is this adviseable, or is it even possible, for a device not using a SIM?
If I am able to root then install Froyo, will something horrible happen to my Aria when April comes and I install the SIM?
Thanks in advance from an Android/SIM newb.
no, go ahead and root it,
i will suggest liberated fr0008 ROM..
you should be fine if you root and install a custom rom.
just make sure that you don't get the stock 2.2 update from htc or at&t, because that will upgrade your phone and as of now, there isn't an exploit to root from stock 2.2.
I recently bought a used ATT LG G2. I installed Novembre5's modified version of the T-Mobile rom to allow wifi calling - it works great.
Today I got an alert from T-Mobile saying "System update downloaded". I wonder if it is safe to install this? If I install it, will I lose the wifi calling (which is very important for me)?
I imagine there must be other people facing the same problem.
Thanks for any input -

I'm about to make the move to the S5 from my HTC One (M7). Before I make that investment, I want to make sure I'm not going to be screwed out of tethering. I have an unlimited data plan with Verizon, and live in a rural area, so my phone is my home ISP.
Since I would be buying a phone from an eBay vendor, I have no control over which firmware version would come installed. So here's my questions.
1. Are there any firmware versions for which root is not available? I've looked through various threads, and haven't found a concrete answer on this.
2. If there are firmware versions for which root is unavailable, and I'm unfortunate enough to purchase a phone which comes with that firmware version, does the latest version of FoxFi support the latest OTA firmware?
Thanks!

I think you'll be okay.

Evidently there is at least one firmware version that makes it impossible, for the time being, to downgrade from. http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/help/downgrade-oe1-t3149085
This brings me back to my second question. Can anyone confirm if FoxFi works on the OE1 firmware?
I was looking for this same info and couldn't find it. Now I figured I'd post the answer.
I still have Verizon Unlimited Data.
I received a brand new S5 today. It came with OG5. I have not attempted to root it. I installed FoxFi and WiFI tethering/mobile hotspot works just fine. I have not enabled "HD Voice", either, and I just tested and verified that I can have a voice phone call going and my hotspot still works. It gave me 44Mbps down/12 up on my connected tablet, while I had a voice call connected.
As an aside, I don't get what the deal is with Verizon pushing HD Voice as a way to have simultaneous voice and data. Simultaneous voice and data (while on 4G LTE) worked on my S4, which didn't even support HD Voice, apparently, and works on the S5 with HD Voice not turned on.
You're good as far as rooting is concerned.
KitKat, and Lollipop up to version BOD5 can be downgraded. Root method here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...w-to-update-to-g900voe1-5-0-keeproot-t3149784
BOE1, BOG5, and BOK3 are the latest Lollipop, and the bootloader cannot be downgraded. A root method for these was finally released a couple weeks ago: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5/general/root-method-og5-ok3-t3290370

I believe you're all good the latest versions of lollipop are rootable.. and yes if you root it you can fix the tethering. Or even flash a custom ROM I don't think Verizon selling any of the KitKat versions of s5 I think they're all on lollipop. Hope that helps
Hey everyone...So I just rooted my HTC BOLT running version 7.0 Nougat and I was wondering if there is a .apk or something I have to add or edit or make any changes in order to bypass sprint's actual wifi hotspot network charges.
