Today I unlocked WiFi tethering on my 4G Bionic, grandfathered into the unlimited data plan. In the middle of nowhere, I am able to get more bandwidth than I was able to get with cable internet access back in civilization. Verizon may think they can get away with their bullshit but hackers will always find a way. Remember, hacking is more than just a crime, it's a survival trait. HACK THE PLANET!
The following content is not a product of my own brilliance, but the superior intellect of others. This is simply a collection of the steps in one place, with the hope someone, somewhere will find it useful.

This hack just saved you a bullshit $30/month fee to tether your phone. That's $360 per year. If that means anything to you, donate to the hackers that made this all possible for you. Links coming shortly.
