WiFi Hotspot Entitlement Bypass (Help Please)

My Nexus 5X arrived yesterday. I'm still waiting for a USB Type A to C cable to arrive before I can root.

I tried the Hotspot feature, and it gave me an alert that indicated a "Verizon Subscription is required."

I have an older "Unlimited Data" plan.

I have been using the Moto X (2013) Developer phone. With Root access, I was able to install a simple apk (EntitlementBypass-v1.2.apk) that activated a bypass feature.

I have also found some info on the AT&T Nexus 6 to do it this way:

How can I disable the account check when tethering?

Every US Nexus 6 XT1103 with an AT&T or Verizon SIM in it, regardless of where it was purchased, will check your account's subscription status before enabling tethering. This isn't unique to the AT&T model and therefore, I don't really consider it a part of making an AT&T Nexus 6 function like every other variant.

The check is hardcoded into AOSP, but you can disable it (assuming you're rooted) by adding a line to your /system/build.prop file that reads "net.tethering.noprovisioning=true" and rebooting.

The source for the APK indicated a similar function within it. I'm not sure of the best path to follow. I know enough to be dangerous.

Might anyone have some useful suggestions?
