Hello this is unbelievable, this is the only way to get your atrix 2 enable with your factory wifi hotspot correctly, I bought an atrix 2 from AT&T, I unlocked it and did many things to enable it with a total failure and for the first time not only i was able to do it but also with the factory application. Really thanks a lot.
ReplyDeleteTried several different methods today and this is the only one that worked for me... Using right now to publish this.

Totally amazing!!!!!!!!! I am new to the rooting scene because I specifically wanted this free wifi tethering. I wouldn't call myself technically savy at this stuff, just a little competent with proper guidance. After stumbling through the root process, (not so bad just a little nervous) I was having an even harder time getting set up for my wifi. THAT WAS UNTILL I FOUND THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was beginning to think it was unattainable for me because I couldn't find anything with specific enough instructions for me. I found alot of discussions about it, but nothing telling me how to go about it(that I could understand at least). NERVE WRACKING!!!!!!! Untill this. I'm not one to leave comments, but I wouldn't be able to sleep if I didn't tell you how much I appreciated this. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was able to understand the directions and follow through. Works perfectly on my phone and I am very happy with the result. Thanks again!!!!!!
