Through ADB. Renamed the original apk to bak. Pushed the new file, fixed permissions and I still receive the vzw prompt.

Always after pushing files. Just seems odd that I got the browser to push fine. I wonder if there's some data/cache I need to rid of first...

Forgot about the odex file. Renamed that and I'm all good!

For people that don't want to root with su and only adb root. My steps renames the original files instead of completely deleting them. Follow these commands:

adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app/
mv HotspotProvision.apk HotspotProvision.bak
mv HotspotProvision.odex HotspotProvision.bakodex
exit
adb push HotspotProvision.apk /system/app/
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/HotspotProvision.apk
adb reboot

Again, you'll need adb root mentioned in the Root thread.

Go to the folder in which the HotspotProvision.apk is saved. Hold shift down, right click and open a command window. Run the above commands as provided by Kaiken. Provided you have root.

Count me as another successful tether'er. Word of advice, you have to unfreeze the Mobile Hotspot app if it was previously frozen. It took me several hours to figure this out as I kept trying to access it via the Settings menu and just got a force close every time I clicked Mobile Hotspot.

Working great, 4G speeds are fantastic.

Nice....Thank you for posting this. OP post instructions were perfect. The one thing I am noticing about all these mods is that the OP are telling people to delete these original files, when all you have to do is rename them if you don't want to back them up or are nervous about deleting them. Again, thank you!!

Well, I DID say back it up first :p

renaming it works too, but I like keeping my system clean of files that aren't being used. I'll keep that backup elsewhere.

Here's the Mobile Hotspot apk and odex, from the stock rom posted by scrosler. Unzip this, then copy them both to /system/app, and reboot. You might need to set permissions? notsure

Just accidently did the same thing and unistalled in the hotspot apk. The zip there doesn't have the apk just the odex file and the mobile update client. Can anyone just pull the apk for the hotspot.Thanks in advance.

    Hi all. I have obtained a modded version of the Mobile Hotspot provisioning for Verizon. This should let you use hotspot without paying VZW for the feature that is free to any non-VZW rom users..

    TO CLEAR UP ANY CONFUSION: I am NOT the original developer of this mod. I was directly contacted by the modder who wished to remain anonymous due to the potentially grey legal area of a mod such as this.
    Suffice to say that I am not stealing credit, and that I am posting it specifically to act as a shield to the original dev, as per their request. If I need to give a name to avoid flak, then I'll just remove the post rather than break my promise.
    UPDATE: The mods are OK with this posrt for now, unless anything happens. So for now it's staying up.

    Anywho. Download the file, backup and remove HotspotProvision.apk and HotspotProvision.odex from /system/app/ And then drag in this copy of the apk. Put it's permissions to rw-r--r-- and reboot.

    You should now be able to set up your mobile hotspot.
    I am posting this from my tethered computer :)

    HotspotProvision.apk (98 KB)

    Note that I DID NOT CREATE THIS.
    If this for some reason is not allowed on here, please let me know and/or delete the post.

    They are not my files to share. I wont post them out of respect to the developer. All you need to do is find a 25a or 25b rom with the modded hotspot and extract the files from it.

    Thank you :)


    For those asking, here it is:

    VS98025B Hotspot Mod

    usual rules apply...use it in your rom, etc if you want, but give credit.

    EDIT: For those that have asked, this is the same apk for 26A. It's unchanged.

    This is a deodexed version based on xdabbeb's hack. Should work on any 24a based rom/
