[MOD] Enable Tethering on 4.5.91

[t0dbld]

Been Busy building, but thought id quickly help those of us that can not live with out mobile hotspot and decided to upgrade to 4.5.91. Here is the easiest way....

* prerequisites*
1. Root
2. SQlite editor from market


*Steps*

1. open SQlite editor and scroll to Settings Storage (com.motorola.android.provider.settings
2. click settings.db
3. click settings
4. go to Line 156 labled Entitlement Check with a value of 1 *EDIT* People are reporting different line numbers based off build etc, JUST Find "entitlement check"
5. Change value from 1 to "disabled" (without quotes)
6. reboot
7. enjoy

kens rom did not come with it pre enabled ?... well I have never ran it so i wouldnt know but if its failing due to start and saying not authorized, than you need to find the entitlement check it should be in the motorola settings one some where , I am sorry i cant be more help but if it is indeed different from some reason it is hard for me to know with out using it or having it here to search for it

No, it was not pre-enabled. When attempting to use mobile hotspot you get the message about the account not being authorized, because well, it really isnt.

I found the entitlement check on line 118 set to 1. Changed it to disabled, will post back with results after reboot.

[edit] Works like a charm!

I found the "entitlement check" at line 153. changed it to "disabled" and it's working. I guess it's handset dependent. Filter under "entitlement" and you'll find it.

Seems to work ok as per the other ROMS which is good because i dont live in the USA and therefore couldnt pay for tethering if i wanted

Press settings.db and it will open using sqlite.
