Verizon anti-root patch

[momotaro]

I rooted my Droid X a year ago to use it as a wifi hotspot for my notebook computer. I rooted it with Z4 but 2 months ago, VZW updated my phone without my consent or knowledge and put an anti-root patch in it. I can't use Barnacle wifi hotspot app anymore though there is still Super User in my phone. I rerooted my phone with SuperOneClick but it didn't work.

I also tried DIY Phone Gadget's 1-Click wifi app which doesn't need rooting but VZW's message showed up to use their hotspot instead.

I believe some gurus in this forum have ways to use my Droid X as a wifi hotspot again. Please help me.

I don't think they updated your phone without alerting you. I have noticed, however, that Verizon has taken steps to stop people from illegally using wifi hotspot. I don't know of a way to do it. Also, they can change your plan to include the wifi hotspot fee if you continue to do it.

You have to flash the wifi tether patch zip file to get wifi tether on .605

I don't know how to flash a patch file. Please tell me what file to flash how. Thank you.
