You have to be rooted buddy. Which Android OS are you currently running? If you're running 2.3.3 aka Gingerbread all you have to do is flash ClockworkMod recovery, then flash any rooted ROM of your liking.
If you're on 2.2.2 aka Froyo, all you need is Superoneclick. This is know as the one click root method.

You just have to go into Settings>Wireless&Network>USB Tethering
I think that's how get into enabling WIFI tether. I use MIUI Launcher so its a bit different.
I have just flashed the gingerbread rom in one of the sections in the G2X forum section. And I have the 2gb data plan. I'Ll give it a try later. Thanks for the info.

So once your phone is rooted, you can tether without being charged by T-mobile?

He has no idea what he's talking about. That makes no sense..
Tethering is free. At least on my plan..
I tether all the time and have never been charged extra. Rooted and unrooted.

On a CM7 based rom tethering and hotspot are available in the settings, otherwise there's a root only app in the market that will let you do both.
Neither option involves paying extra

Working fine for me.
Try FoxFi (available on the market) - doesnt require root.

Glad to see you were able to get things working :good:
Sorry if I missed something as I am a new member, but as title says, I've RSDed Droid Maxx to 4.4.4 and lost root, is there a way to root it again so that I can get native tethering to work again. Thanks!
Nope, you are going to have to wait until a new root method is released. You are as stuck as possible.

There's always paying for the unlock code, depending on what build you have. Got my code couple days ago and it worked. So much easier having boot loader unlocked.

How do I go about unlocking a Verizon Droid Maxx? I assume after unlocking i'll have the ability to root it, which will allow for native tethering app to get modified and work.

For me I downloaded and installed moto x tool to PC. Don't remember where I got it. Just search it in these forums. Use moto x tool to fastboot flash twrp. Booted into recovery and when leaving it ask do you want to install su. Say yep. Bam! rooted.
Here's moto x tool it comes with trwp

unlock keys dont work for 2013 build dates of droid maxx... any other way to modify tethering entitlement file to enable native tether on 4.4.4?

None that I know of. These devs are very smart though. They'll figure it out soon I'm sure.

That just runs the SlapMyMoto and WPnomo processes. I believe it only works on 4.2.2, not any KitKat builds (at least on VZW phones with a locked bootloader).

Yeah I paid and unlocked my boot loader.
Then used moto x to install trwp and su for root. Also used it to get rid of that ugly unlocked nag logo and install that awesome xda logo.

So then the only other option (aside from waiting for 4.4.4 root exploit to get figured out) is to get Developer Edition of Droid Maxx? If I get that, is root pretty much guaranteed every time there is an update, including will I be able to root 4.4.4 and therefore modify native hotspot's entitlement file? Thanks.

You lost write protect off. You cant copy it back. Try the method posted in the general section
I was able to copy in the terminal or at least got no error

Yeah and then when you rebooted it reverted the changes because you don't have write protect disabled.

Potential Bootloader Unlock for Non-Dev Edition
Sent From My Droid Ultra
I'm sorry and I assume most of you will disagree with me, but 45 dollars is a rip off to have my phone rooted. I've never had a rooted android but I had a jail broken iPhone and I did love it, although I would never had paid for it, I don't see why I would invest such a high amount onto something that will never bring me more than advanced customization(I'm assuming that all that root does as its all that jailbreaking seemed to do) maybe I'm saying this because I'm not a developer myself and I don't work on these things, but having my phone rooted will always seem as a low priority. If it were 5-10 dollars id probably give in because of temptation to have cooler feaututes on my device. Anyway this is just my point of view and just wanted yo share .

Hello all! I recently got a Droid Ultra and I am costumed to using Wi-Fi tether on my Droid Razr. I had it rooted and used PDA Net Wi-Fi tethering. I paid for it and it was well worth it. I wasn't able to get the Wi-Fi tethering to work on my Ultra, only the USB tethering. It looks like we need root for tethering. Has anyone found a solution for Wi-Fi tethering on the Ultra?

Have you used this method? It sounds so easy and to good to be true. Does the Ultra not have a built-in recovery to make backups with? Sorry for all the questions I just want to be careful. Thanks!

No, I haven't, because I live in Europe and we have no tethering restrictions.
It should be safe, as you only need to modify/replace the build.prop, which can easily be reverted, if you back it up beforehand.
But I replied a bit hastily, I haven't read the thread carefully, you need to be rooted for doing that (or have unlocked bootloader with TWRP installed).
I don't know if there are any other methods, which doesn't require root.
What's your build version?

I am currently not rooted. I don't think there is a great root option for the Droid Ultra on 4.4.4. I was hoping I didn't need root for the tether.
You can gain root, but not an unlocked bootloader (no custom roms/backups, etc). Once rooted, find and download the entitlement exploit to tether. I'm using it daily and it works fine.

What is the easiest/best root method for the Ultra?
Just check out RootJunkie's youtube tutorial, follow it to the letter. Not easy, or quick, but it works great IF you follow his directions.

Negative. In order to mess with that stuff you would need root and wifi tether apk on the market..
