Ban for wifi & radiocomm hack???

[Jmhernan]

Hey everyone

Just an FY, I did the whole radiocomm hack on the 26th of Dec. 2011 and it all worked well thanks to tweakmydevice and team black hat. BUt my surprise after looking at my Verizon bill they were able to catch the hack an is now charging me for the tethering. Just and FYI to you all.

QUOTE=BlacknTan;1764968]Sure it's speculation. But it's speculation based on statements by verizon that they will be cracking down on unauthorized tethering, as well as concrete steps they have taken to make it easy for them to tell who is doing it. A leading rom dev has now come along and said that they have hard-coded their new sim cards so they can tell who is tethering data. That sure isn't speculation.

The world is the way it is. Just because you don't think it's fair for big red to care about tethering, or crack down on those that do, doesn't mean they won't.

As 1337 as it would be to "stick it to the man", I will no longer tether. It's not because I'm "too scared" to do it. It's just not an emotional argument for me. With wifi hotspots as ubiquitous as they are now, It's just not worth even the small possibility of losing my unlimited data package.

Prove It. Out of the handful of times I seen someone claim this they had just registered to a forum before posting and they can't provide any proof or documentation that it happened.

You hit the nail on the head. this was his first post. There's no need for the radio hack anyway. Have been rooted since the ready I bought my bionic, have been using the wireless tether hack since the second or third day. also my wife uses it. This is two on the same plan. Never heard anything.

I've been using the tether app also since june with my lg revolution averaged 80gb monthly and still have the unlimited data without any addtiomal charge as I check monthly

Now got the bionic for 1week I already racked up 30gb
The speed is much better compared to my old revolution

I've seen this work perfectly with Droid 3 with no overage charges.

I've connected a Droid 4 to RadioComm and read the appropriate registers with the program for element ID 8400...8401...etc...

Does anyone think it would work to modify the Droid 4 this same way??

Howdy,
Be a trail blazer for us. Go ahead and try it, and let us know how it works.

Thanks in advance.
