Used pdanet with kit kat for USB tether, but unless you buy the Pro version you'll need to reset it over and over... And it's by far the slowest tethering I have used even when my phone is on 4g, not sure what's up.

Real USB Tethering for Stock ROM

Hi there,
We've just developed on Motorola Defy an app for real USB Tethering,
Can anyone test it on DroidX?
It can share your Motorola's internet connection to your pc!
It's a real tethering not a simply MODEM Tethering, you should NOT pay extra cost to your Carrier!
The app is TOTALLY FREE, thread on xda:
Moto Tethering USB
bye,
It says can't find root when I launch it.

What makes this different from pdanet? Or is it essentially the same?

Can you Wirelessly Tether if you have your Atrix Rooted?

I'm about to root my Atrix 2, but one of the bigger reasons I wanted to was so that I could wirelessly thether using my phone, is it possible?

Rooted and using Wifi Tether for Root Users. Just have to select Samsung Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE) under device profile in the app settings.
Which root did you use?

awesome! thanks for the tip!

Is Verizon trying very hard to make you use data?

When I would plug my old phone into my computer I could get my phone to appear as a removable drive. With the MAXX I plug it in and I get the install wizard and easy tether works.
No removable drive for file transfer.
What gives?

The CDROM thing auto launches, but the phone storage loads too in My Computer for me. Being on Windows 8, I get a prompt on how I want both to launch.
I may need a new OS! My personal computer is still on XP!

Do you have Motorola Device Manager installed currently? If so, do you have the most recent version (2.4.3)? That is probably what is needing to be installed
I thought I had the latest drivers. I will start with that.

I get an error when loading the software. That is why it hasn't worked like normal.

Did you edit out the getvar line?

Did you uninstall the old version before upgrading to the new version?
I did uninstall old drivers.
Getvar... Have to admit, I am clueless there.
This is required on a stock never rooted phone?

I will have to run it again. It is something the the effect of the software encountered an error during install and will not work.

That sounds Windows related to me. Win XP, Vista, 7 or 8?
There is a line in the download that has "getvar" in it that has to be deleted.

I have a xp netbook and desktop, and a Windows 7 laptop. Didn't have any issues or have to delete this getvar thing you speak of. I also didn't have to uninstall any previous versions of motorola device manager. When I installed the full app , it came up as an update.
I did notice once I had to switch the settings on my phone. Something about the media transfer protocol set as a camera.

I have seen methods of restoring foxfi on KitKat but none are current. Does anyone have a working fix for foxfi on KitKat? I am rooted with exposed.

There is an Xposed tether module called "X Tether". FoxFI doesn't work under KK from what I remember.
There is also another way to get tethering to work with the built-in tethering app. You can go here to do it -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785106
