[Q] EVO hotspot hack?

I don't know if any one has found this but the incredible has been able to do it by changing the system software without rooting it. My friend did this and he was able to use the tether on/off switch on the settings menu without ever having to pay the extra amount. Does anyone know of a method like this for the EVO? I believe its called dun hack.

Yep just run the mikfroyo Rom and its already built in.

exactly how would you do this? can someone provide a step by step guide?
Thanks!

@Swaze - he says without rooting the phone. Installing a ROM would require rooting.

If you would like a good step by step guide go to WWW.androidforums.com and go to the EVO section then look in the 'All about Root' section. There will be a 'Rooting guide for Dummies' at the very top. Follow this guide and they will help u with any problems or concerns

Thanks for your input all. But my primary goal is to enable wifi for free without rooting the phone at all, just re programming the setting do that using wifi would use my data plan.

How do you know whether or not he's rooted?

He's not rooted cuz all he did was turn on the tether on the phone from the setting menu and I was able to connect my evo on the verizon network. He has actually done this for two months already without verizon knowing our an increase in his bill.

sounds like he's rooted, that's how you do it on a rooted phone. some reason you don't want to root?

I installed new roms almost weekly when I used Windows Mobile devices, but I'm a little shy about trying it with my Evo. Other than this hot spot stuff, I don't even see a benefit. Should I just suck it up and do it?

Speed, storage space, getting rid of all the sprint crap apps,more memory, custom themes to pretty much anything you can think of! Better battery!

Not rooting an evo is like... buying a Ferrari and the dealer told you, no faster than 20mph.

Yes. Just go to unrevoked.com and do it, simple, easy peasy...
Then flash a rom, they all have free tether..
I just did this yesterday, took 10 mins. DONE.

No throttle and no clock for liberty 1.5

Here's a link for no throttle an no clock for 1.5, I know a lot of people are using the ones for 1.0 without issues but since some people are reporting problems I decided to wait till I found this....
http://androidforums.com/droid-x-al...ottle-no-clock-no-throttle-liberty-1-5-a.html
Hope it helps. Enjoy!
Edit: props go to bouchigo
entrance not for everybody, for madmen only

will this work if i install the gingerbread theme?

I believe so, if the clock does reappear just apply it again. But I don't think the themes effect the service.jar file.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

i was mainly concerned with the no throttle mod
i guess ill try on gingerbread if it doesnt seem to work ill flash back to liberty mod and reflash the throttle zip

looks like the site is down for maintnance ill try it later i guess

What does "pwn" mean? I ask because whatever it is they will most likely be doing it to me since I use way more data then that. And sorry for the ignorance but not long ago I thought trolling was just looking for girls or hanging out under a bridge. I had no idea it meant provoking people in forums. Still don't understand why they don't call it instigating or being an instigator.

To pwn. Google it...it's funny to see some of the explanations but, long story short, it's short for owned as in going to defeat you, ass handed to you, etc. LoL...it came from gamers playing WoW as a typo for the word own, just stuck since.
You phrase " I thought trolling was just looking for girls or hanging out under a bridge. " Epically priceless !!

Completely not on the throttle topic. But Pwn was *way* before WoW. At least EQ days and probably before that in the early quake 1 days.

Probably not, its replaces the services.jar file for for the droidx running liberty 1.5. I'm. Not sure that the d2 has the throttle built in like the dx does. Even if it does the services.jar file is most likely different.

this is why im debating if it's worth keeping cm7. id like to be able to update the profile, utilize phone codes for data resets and update my prl's. i do not see why the cm team cannot get these to work, i mean they got 4g & hdmi.
at least give us a prl that we can flash, using qpst is too time consuming, so is flashing sense to do it.

It's possible to flash a PRL update but someone has to pull it from their phone first. There was a flashable version of the last PRL linked in this thread.

FULL 3G PRLs - Oh YEA!

52341, 52299, 58008 and Verizon Alltel Hybrid PRL.zip are all new PRL's.
These are for testing.
For all the babies out there who don't like my posts, get a life and go join another forum! Most members would like to have the information out there to research and test. I love this forum and have learned alot from it. Although I've noticed you can't give a little credit to people without them still bitc**** about not getting all of it so none will be given any more.
Anyway, enough of my ranting.
Techknowfile's PRL's are quite old now. They still work, but will not have the most up-to date towers and channels.
I live in eastern ohio and use the 52341.prl.
Step #1: Download and unzip
Step #2: Follow Techknowfile's instructions for flashing. Here is his thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696073
Step #3: Test and Enjoy!
Step #4: Give me some Love
The 5XXXX PRLs are strictly Verizon/Alltel PRLs, the SprintVZWPRL is a PRL that was designed for Verizon guys that wanted to roam on Sprint. Which is sweet for us Sprint users that want to use Verizons/Alltels towers but swich back to Sprint if there is no service.
P.S. - These PRLs DO show when your roaming. Please post your speed results and which PRLs work best for you so others can benefit. Use at your own risk, some have been terminated for roaming too much. These are being posted for testing purposes only, dont come crying to me if Sprint whacks your fingers!

FOR ME
Reserved for later.

Could you explain the difference between each prl file please. Looks interesting. Might have to try this out. Is there a speed difference?

Not trying to troll, but you should put a disclaimer in the op that with continuous use of non sprint prl will result in contract being terminated..
There are reports of this in the general thread and on android central. Just a thought so no one starts blaming you or any other member who post these Verizon prl's. Lol they will go on a witch hunt... ha ha

Yeah I'm a firm believer in C.Y.A. Not trolling just a friendly reminder to OP. Thanks for the work on this, I'm going to try the verizon/sprint one.

I assume this has to be applied while on a sense rom? And if applied while on sense and i nandroid back to cm7 do i lose the new prl? or would it stick if i just flashed cm7 over sense instead of using nandroid?

Man thx i get horrible service where i live and i hope this verizon\sprint one will help me out.

So wait is it right to say by loading these you can use both sprint and vzw towers to get your cell service?

downloading now

Mine only works for phone service. Still connects to Sprint's data, except 999ms ping, instead of 300.

Tried every prl out 2 times and speed tested 3 times each time.

The best method of using these is to only use them when you have to... but teto
These have saved me at work where I have no sprint 3g or 4g at all...
at home and other areas I use wifi or 4g

I download the sprint/verizon prl and when I opened the folder there isn't anything in it? Anyone else have this issue?

Well they might not be laughing too long with Google's purchase of Moto. Never know where I'll spend MY money next. They ain't the only game in town. I just posted that on FB

Unbelievable. What is wrong with HTC? I can't believe they'd want to alienate users of one of their recent phones like this.

I saw this on their site
"HTC is committed to assisting customers in unlocking bootloaders for HTC devices. However, certain models may not be unlockable due to operator restrictions. We continue to work with our partners on this, check back often for ongoing updates about unlockable devices."
Which means if Sprint says NO, I guess HTC's hands are tied.

Can someone post a link? I wish to speak my mind

My thinking exactly,I keep coming to remmember when agrbren announced he'd found an exploit ? Then talked to HTC about said exploit,Wondering with a hint of conspiracy if that hole exists in our kernel and they are working to close it? But then they wouldn't have released the 3d and Sensation kernel so fast> just rambling Tirerd need to go to bed, long night tonite.
