[MOD] Unthrottle your myTouch 4G !

---

Came across this post in the CM7 forums, thought you'd all want to take a look.

WARNING/DISCLAIMER : By applying this mod, you are going against the contract you signed when you purchased the device. I, akuria, nor anyone of the XDA or CM7 forums will be held responsible for any repercussions you may be hit with by T-Mobile, or any service provider you have chosen for not honoring your contract.

Layman's terms: your fault, not ours. Good luck.

Note: Apply this BEFORE being throttled! Do NOT Flash another ROM while over the limit, or you will be throttled! (Unless you edit the classes.dex BEFORE flashing the ROM. )

Step One:
Okay, find your current rom on your pc (the zip file) and open it with your favorite extractor (winrar is nice)(dictionary - I think 7zip is the best)

Step Two:
Go to the system/framework folder and extract services.jar file onto your desktop.

Step Three:
Now open services.jar and extract classes.dex to the desktop. Cut and paste classes.dex to your sdk/tools folder.

Step Four:
Now, download smali and baksmali.jar from link. Rename them smali.jar and baksmail.jar for easier typing later. Cut and paste those two into the SDK/tools folder also.

Step Five:
Open your command prompt and cd (change directory) to sdk/tools folder. Then type this exactly (without the quotes: "java -jar baksmali.jar -o classout/ classes.dex". Look at your sdk/tool folder... that should have created a folder called classout. Open it until you find your files.

Step Six:
Locate the 7 files with "throttleservices" in the title. Delete them! Now type this into command prompt: "java -Xmx512M -jar smali.jar classout/ -o new-classes.dex". That should repack your edited files and create a file called new-classes.dex...

Step Seven:
Cut and paste the new-classes.dex to your desktop and rename it classes.dex.

Step Eight:
Open your services.jar (that should be on the desktop) with winrar (or whatever)(dictionary - again, try/use 7zip) and click add file. Add the classes.dex file from your desktop. It might ask you to replace it or save or not (it will depend on your extractor).

Step Nine:
After you edited your services.jar, copy and paste it to your tools folder. Connect your phone via usb cable to the pc.

Step Ten:
Boot into clockwork recovery. In the clockwork menu, make sure you go to mounts and storage and click mount /system before this next step.

Step Eleven:
Now, open the command prompt from your pc again, and cd to sdk/tools folder (if you are already there, you can skip this step! Good for you).

Step Twelve:
Now type "adb push services.jar /system/framework/". Reboot your phone and enjoy!

This post was by akuria in the CM7 forums.. He says it's not guaranteed to work, but if anyone wants to take a crack at it, go right ahead.

Thought this was already covered to not work for throttling data because its not controlled by the phone?

The Desire Z seemed to have a similar method that worked out for them.. so this is tryable.

If it works, great. i dont see how it could though. For throttling to be phone controlled like this, I dont think it would be in AOSP roms, only the t-mo stock rom.

Holy hell I haven't seen you in forever O.o gonna take a crack at this anyway.. got throttled last night and its not fun

That would be awesome if it did work though, tmobile would start sending out nasty messages like I hear at&t does if you use too much data.

Try it. Worse case is you waste a few minutes. Best case - it works. Just doesn't make sense to me. That doesn't mean it wont work.

If someone can incorporate this into a rom update it would be the ****

It is controlled by the phone...

It is not service driven. It is sim driven at the tower level.

I spoke with a tech who works and owns a tower in Allen, TX. He stated it is done by software at the tower level that gets uploaded every 12 hours to your account. Some towers go quicker than others but that hacking your phone that way will not work.
