Now that we have root, I've been able to use this method to get tethering on my Atrix HD:

My line number was 107 but yours maybe different. Good luck!

I did that change as well; however, i cannot change the hotspot name. Can you?

This doesn't belong in DEV.
I hope we have active moderators in this forum to move it.
Please try to keep this forum open to development only?

Weird, mine blocks me from changing it

I use Droid Bionic method and it works. It's almost the same as Atrix method. Only we need to type check in settings and change entitlement to 0.

Can anyone post the specific app they're using for SQLite and tell my where exactly to go? I tried the method in the OP but couldn't find it. Sorry for the nooby question. I'm a fairly seasoned vet of Android devices, I'm just having trouble with this one. I'm rooted I just can't find the right file path in SQLite Manager.

Click HERE, download and use the SQLite Editor that I used and worked..

But the USB tether is still asking for AT&T auth.. any solution?

Same here. I can enable hotspot (usb and WiFi), but I cannot tether my data plan, I'm using a foreign carrier (Claro from Peru).

Same here, tmobile as well, although DNS seems to be working, i.e. names do resolve.

This is what I had to do to get tethering to work:

Based on what I read here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1962752

1. In the settings.db change dun_apn_changeable to 1 (line 122)

2. Create an APN named Tethering and copy all the settings from your provider's APN. Enter ",dun" in the APN Type.

I did not need to make it active.

So now it works on Atrix HD tethering works with T-Mobile? Can we just delete out the AT&T APN and put in epc.tmobile.com or internet2.voicestream.com?

Is that what y'all are doing?

Per OP
- Phone has to be rooted
- entitlement_check changed to 0 (or disabled)

I used aShell and aSQLiteManager, which are free. The file is in data/data/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db entitlement_check is line 107 for me.

Apparently it's an APN issue. There's more info in the thread I linked. If I understand it correctly T-Mobile has a hidden APN for tethering. You can either replace it with modified APNs, as suggested in that thread or what I did was change the setting so that the tethering APN can be changed and then create my own. The AT&T APNs aren't used when on the T-Mobile network, so there's no reason to delete them.

Thanks, I know you have to use epc.tmobile.com with T-Mobile network. Just didn't understand the part of using SQ editor to disable the lock.
