Stuck on Step 3
When I try to rename to .bak for both the .apk and .odex, it says "Operation Failed".
Help? Thanks so much.

Hello!
I'm an GSM-network subscriber and the way, you suggested didn't solve tethering unavailability for me.
Believe, i read you post carefully)
I'd like to add some extra info about how this problem was solved for me.
You should be rooted!
First - delete or freeze VZWEntitlementcheck.apk & VZWEntitlementcheck.odex
Second - using one of SQLite editors, open "Settings Storage", "settings.db" database, "Secure" section and change entitlement_check value from 1 to 0.
Reboot.
All done!
Please, keep in mind, this method working for GSM networks and may not work in Verizon Wireless.

That is the widely known entitlement hack. That only works for pre 4.4. Anything kit Kat and above either doesn't have said field or already has it set to 0. So in this case, being that this mod is for kit Kat. The method you posted is obsolete. Please edit your post to avoid confusion.

Strange to hear this... i'll recheck at the evening and if you are right, i'll edit my post
Isn't the only tethering option for kit kat the xposed framework module?

If either way you can achieve native tether I don't see a problem here... GREAT JOB

Many awesome thanks for this. The Droid RAZR HD just got a KK update to 4.4.2 and the old way of use SqlLite to hack the tethering no longer works.
However, this does work!
Thanks again!

preserve root.
I have a rooted droid razr maxx hd on 4.1.2 (9.18.94.XT926). I know there will be kit kat OTA soon and I was wondering if anyone know how to preserve root when I upgrade to kit kat. Will the original OTA not mess with my root? Thanks!

You are so not in the right thread...
EDIT: And the answer to your question is you cannot take the OTA update while rooted.

After messing around trying to get the Wifi Tether app that I've used for the past three years working after KK upgrade, this process worked perfectly in just a few minutes on my Droid Razr Maxx HD XT926

1. Download Root Explorer by Jrummy in the Play store.
2. Download the tether zip attached to this post.
3. Go into Root Explorer and find System folder, find priv-app, inside priv-app long press VZWEntitlementServices.apk and VZWEntitlementServices.odex rename to VZWEntitlementServices.apk.bak and VZWEntitlementServices.odex.bak and back out to first folder.
4. Go to sdcard folder, download and find tether.zip that you downloaded from step 2. Extract the build.prop, copy it and back out to the home folder. enter the system folder. Rename the build.prop that is there to build.prop.bak, then paste the one you extracted from the zip.
5. Long press on the file and hit permissions in the menu. change permissions Owner: Read/Write, Group:Read, Others: Read (should show rw-r--r--)
6. Exit out of root explorer
7. Reboot
8. Check the tether it should work.
9. PROFIT! Thank baby jesus and buy me a beer lol2Thanks
Confirmed, works beautifully on Droid Maxx...this has been mentioned several times but us still worth a mention...the phone will still act like it's checking entitlement, but it's not.22
Go to > Settings/About phone
You will see > (Android version) and below that you will see (System version)..these two combined is the info you need..if you have a Droid Maxx..then you will see something like this..4.2.2_12.15.15 which is Jelly Bean (or) 4.4_19.5.3 which is Kit Kat..the Maxx hasn't upgraded to 4.4.2 yet..which is on the Moto X..
