Enable Wireless Hotspot for International use

[Beach_Head]

Photon users outside the US, here's how you can enable the built-in Wireless Hotspot functionality on your phones...

1. Go to data/data/com.motorola.providers.setttings/databases/ and open settings.db
2. Look for entitlement_check or id 139 and change the value from 0 to disabled
3. Reboot and you're good to go...

I didn't have to do any of that when I used my Photon in Greece. Mine is rooted with photon torpedo method and I used wifi tether from the Market. I used a Wind sim card for data there and just turned on wifi tethering many times over a ten day period so my wife could connect to the Internet (she has a locked AT&T iPhone 4) via wifi when she wanted. Worked great.

(EDIT) - ah, you mean built-in wifi hotspot. I stand corrected. Still, wifi tether from the market worked with no hitches, so that's one other way to go...
