Post: Free Wifi Tethering!

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So basically this is a root hack that takes advantage of the mobile hotspot feature (wifi tethering) on many cell carriers. What you will need is a rooted Android (obviously), in this case I used a Droid Bionic from Verizon, and the app called SQLite Editor. This app will cost some money on the app market, but I'm sure most of you will figure out how to get the .apk free Winky Winky Now comes the tricky part. First go into the SQLite Editor app, and a first time user will encounter the 'superuser permission' message. Just click allow and then head to "Settings Storage" section. NOTICE: there are two different options for this, so choose the one with the tools icon:
You must login or register to view this content.
There's only going to be one option after clicking this, and it should be "settings.db":
You must login or register to view this content.
Now another list of options will appear. Choose the "settings" option:
You must login or register to view this content.
OK, doing good so far. Now a fairly large list will appear. Hit the MENU button on the actual phone itself (this is usually located on the bottom menu bar):
You must login or register to view this content.
Now choose the "Set Filter" option. Leave it on "All Fields" and on Filter Value type in "check". Note: don't let the Droid autocorrect your word, as it will not search correctly. Now hit OK:
You must login or register to view this content.
Something that resembles an Excel spreadsheet should appear. There should be an option listed "Entitlement Check". CLICK to the right of this, where it is under 'Value'. Change the value from 1 to 0:
You must login or register to view this content.
Awesome Cool Man (aka Tustin) Now reboot your Android device. Upon starting it up again, head over to the Mobile Hotspot App (I think it's green on Verizon). Turn on the Hotspot and under the Client Start Adress, change the IP Address to 192.168.22.2

I don't really know much about Sprint's data coverage plan (or your personal plan for that matter), so don't take my word for it, but on Verizon this is proven free
