FoxFi works in the meantime
Foxfi doesn't work on these phones - that's the problem.
I found a workaround and posted a new thread in the Dev section though.
I've got a Maxx, and FoxFi works just fine for me.

This is the RAZR HD/RAZR MAXX HD forum. These phones were just released yesterday.
Mobile Hotspot
I have the MAXX HD as well. I just searched on the forums here and found the hack using SQL Lite Editor to change the entitlement check so that the phone doesn't check to see if you have purchased the feature in question from Verizon. I did it this way just as I did on the original MAXX and it worked like a charm!

Really? Do you want to stiff a developer of three bucks for an app you are going to use?
I'm not encouraging or discouraging any type of behavior. I look at it like a free trial. If you're going to use the program for 30 seconds, then I wouldn't expect to pay full price for it. Regular users of an app would be the ones who should pay if they are going to use it on a continuous basis.
I have been using foxfi for the past week and have had no issues.

FoxFi
I can not get FoxFi to work. I have downloaded the add-on too. Several times. The Proxy won't work. My computer will see it for a few minutes, and then it's gone. FoxFi still shows the computer as being connected, but I get nothing on my computer. Same with my N7. I did email the dev, but he has not responded back. Last time I emailed him, it was about FoxFi not working on the GNex after the JB update. As soon as they got it working, he emailed me. So hopefully that will happen again. In the meantime, I'm using PDANet to tether my phone to the laptop.

I've gotten my Razr HD to use the stock mobile hotspot app without a plan purchase. You have to disable the entitlement check in the phone's database. I've used SQLite. Under apps tab, go to Settings.Storage (com.motorola.android.providers.settings). Then go to Settings Storage, then Settings.db, then settings. look up _ID #68 and change entitlement check to 0. Reboot, then try the app. This is what worked for me on my Razr HD with JB
Can we tether through bluetooth??

Foxfi Wifi tethering does not work with JellyBean. It works with Ice Cream Sandwich. The SQL Lite editor change does work in ICS and JB. Bluetooth tethering is fine but it's slower than Wifi.
This works on JB

I can confirm this works - rooted on stock JB OTA - and broadcasts in infrastructure mode.

Hey guys,
Now that Verizon's Mobile Hotspot promotion is done, what are you using to tether with your rooted Droid Charge? I am trying to use Barnacle but it keeps giving me errors.
Thanks!
Simple, Pay for the native app.

I currently don't tether, I was planning on using this; https://market.android.com/details?id=android.tether&feature=search_result
but whenever I search for it on my Charge I can't seem to find it on the market place, and clicking the direct link just gives me an error. Hope someone has found a good wireless tether, going away for the weekend and could really use one!

+1for OpenGarden. I have been using it on my Thunderbolt for a weeks now and haven't seen any issues.
I loaded Barnacle and rooted my phone last night, so far so good. But I am going to also try Open Garden to see it it meets my need (see my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158476 )
so just to clarify guys, if use this tethering program, it can help me save a few bucks comparedd to paing for verizon's optional tethering service? ;-)
I've tried both the tethering programs in this thread and neither are detected on my PSP/NDS, the app also doesn't ask or tell me the SSID or passphrase, anyone know a REAL wireless tethering app where you can make it act pretty much like a router..?

I have never found one, PSP/NDS probably have the same issue with connecting to Ad Hoc networks. I had to root tablet and edit a file to make it work with A500.
Open Garden seems to have a better pass through for speed, used Wireless Tether for quite some time with no issues.
I pay enough to Vz since I never go over 5G a month even with tethering I don't feel bad at all.

Hey - are you with Verizon on Contract? No unlimited plan? If so - when I was on ICS my wifi tethering wasn't working (would turn on then turn off right away) so I called Verizon, they de-activated that feature then re-activated it and it started working (weird I know) but it also worked for another buddy of mine, so call and ask them to de-activate and re-activate the feature and you should be good!

Verizon will probably want to charge me for the hotspot, so it may be best to leave them out of the picture.

Yeah, those new "share everything" plans are expensive, and losing unlimited data isn't an option. Nor is paying an extra $30 a month to the Empire for Internet access I already have. But unless I'm missing something, there doesn't seem to be a stable tethering app for the RMHD with JB. Wait for FoxFi to update, maybe?

Unfortunately I can't give you any links right now have to get to work but just search rooted jelly bean motorola razr hd entitlement or something along those lines and you should find it.

Before they got FiFox working for ICS, there was the possibility of going in and setting the variable for the VZW Hotspot from 1 to 0 - which meant that it wouldn't first check with VZW before enabling tethering. Does this option still work for those on JB who are rooted and can go in to make the modification?
{Personally, I don't yet have JB or I'd try to make the change myself. But hopefully this will give those on JB the option of hotspots.}

Foxfi wifi hotspot used to work great for me. Last night I needed it due to an internet outage at comcast and every time i connected windows crashed on my laptop! No idea why?
Then I tried bluetooth and my computer just kep trying to download razr maxx hd drivers. It couldn't because it had no internet and i never got to the blluetooth connect screen in which i could use bluetooth for internet.
Does foxfi bluetooth connect really work?
I'm on the latest version of foxfi with stock unrooted unmodified ics.
I really could have used internet last night!

From what I've read there is currently no app that tethers without root on 4.1 and later.
If you choose to allow the OTA, I'm told you will not be able to root or tether until someone unlocks each. It could be a little while until someone figures out the new bootloader or whatever 4.1 has for verizon phones.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, and if anyone out there can disprove me, I welcome it.

You can use the free version of FoxFi to test with to verify that it will work for you before purchasing the paid version.

I have v 1.95.3 of FoxFi. So, after testing again FoxFi does still work, but the mobile hotspot thing turns on (I didn't close it this time). From reading various discussions around the web, everyone is saying they haven't been billed/charged for this, and they haven't been forced to agree to Verizon's hotspot plan. Still, it's very nerve wracking because I could easily see Verizon "finding out" and charging people.
I'm at a crossroads here. I'm deciding whether to root, go back to stock ICS (I don't know how to do this), or take the risk and stick with stock JB.

Gosh, why is it always so complicated with these carriers?
Unfortunately, thats the gamble you take with the unlimited plan..... they have to catch ya first though.
For me tethering is an "emergency" type thing, or a backup. Not something I'll do HD streaming on or anything.
But I'm guessing that before or after JB, the risk for being "caught" and the things that tipped VZ off were the same? I'm just curious how the "Mobile Hotspot" thing factors in now.

Clockworkmod tether does work and for those who dont know the usb tether speeds are faster than wifi tether, I purchased the full version and have been very happy also rooted and unlocked for the wifi tether I will say that the wifi tether is more stable/ consistent than the usb tether as the usb tether tends to cut out sporadically
PDAnet does work with this phone, I used to use it all the time.
Anyone figure this out yet?
This is the only thing I miss..
Can confirm PDAnet+ registered over bluetooth
While I could not get Foxfi to work, I was able to get the bluetooth DUN with PDAnet+ to work on a registered copy, this is as of 12:01 am EDT on 8/30/2013. My phone currently reads 4.2.2 for version. I have not tested the USB connection. Wifi Tether appears to be locked down tight. PDANet+ appears to support using the Bluetooth DUN and the wifi on the host computer to form a wifi hotspot anyway, so perhaps that's a work-around for other devices (stupid that it requires a computer to be the intermediary).
yep USB tether works fine. just have to install motorola ADB interface correctly first. but i thought this thread was about wifi tether so didn't mention earlier

Doesn't Verizon have a mandate from the FCC to allow 3rd party apps to enable wifi tethering? It will really suck if it is impossible to enable this.
I also got PDANet USB tethering to work...doesn't help for my iPad, though.
I saw a report that someone had FoxFi working on a Verizon moto x. Odd that it would work on that but not the droids.

If that were true how are they offering the 6GB EDGE data tier that doesn't allow tethering? The ruling simply prevented them from blocking access to tether apps (eg going out of their way to make sure you couldn't even download the tethering apps to try like Foxfi), it didn't require that they make the phones WORK with the tether apps from my understanding.

So is rooting really the only option still for tethering? All I want is to be able to tether my Droid Maxx to my Nexus 7 in my car and was hoping not to have to go through so much trouble.
It really isn't any trouble to root. Download the app. Install and run it. Let it reboot 3 times, takes about 2-3 minutes. Then download an sqlite editor and change the one value and reboot. Takes less than 5 minutes from beginning to end.

Oh I see. I didn't realize it was that simple. In that case I will definitely do that this weekend. Thanks!

No problem. That's what this community is for. Easiest root I've ever seen. Read jcase thread in original android development on root. Super easy.

Ok I've rooted the phone as instructed in that thread. Now what? I have SuperSu and SQLite installed. What database I'm I editing to enable me to use my phone as a mobile hotspot?

Follow the steps. Quite easy, takes like 2 minutes including rebooting when done.

Awesome! Worked like a charm!
No need to buy SQLite Editor
For those who don't want to pay for the SQLite Editor app, you can still gain wifi tethering/hotspot with this free alternative.
1. Download the free apps aShell and aSQLiteManager from Play Store.
2. Launch aShell, check the "Root" box, then hit "File Explorer" button.
3. Browse to /data/data/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/databases, and open up settings.db with aSQLiteManager.
4. Now choose the "settings" table, hit "Data" button.
5. "PgDn" until you see "65. entitlement_check" and change that value from 1 to 0.
You're done! Restart and wifi tethering/hotspot will work now.
I don't have a settings one.
Does anyone know why whenever I try to do the entitlement check that there is no settings part. I have done it before and recently reset my phone and now it isn't there help me please I have to have a hotspot
