My phone has been acting f***ed up ever since I disabled EVDO (ie., white screen of death, never connecting calls). Does anyone know what the original setting was for the HDR Pref so I can turn EVDO back on? Or is there a turn EVDO back on tutorial around here somewhere? For one, I assume this is making my phone act up, and secondly tethering on the 1X network provides virtually similar bandwidth speed to dial-up, so I don't need it anyway.

While the "howard forums" is a decent place to get a lot of info, I can only assume there are not enough MODS that can devote/donate their time. So I find myself following 10 threads of which the subject matter is for about 3 items. Another words, threads start as one topic and go way off topic on other points. Once this snowballs, I admit I have added to off topic threads myself, no going back. So here is your answer, with link and pasted text as well.
INFO FROM THIS PAGE:

Read the whole thing you will find the "default", I made a note of it before changing it myself. Good luck.

STEPS TO ENABLE MOTO RAZR CELL PHONE (V3c Verizon) AS MODEM VIA BLUETOOTH, FOR CONNECTION TO LAPTOP (Tiger 10.4.3)
HOW TO TURN OFF EVDO
(Experts say this must be done to access the 1x Verizon Network, ICON on phone will show "1x", not "EVDO".) Also important so Verizon does NOT know you are "tethering" to their Network, as this is NOT allowed, they want to sell "data packages". Some say it helps battery time, other say the opposite. The phone will not have VCast, it will simply say VCast coverage not avaliable. Your WAP will still work on the 1x network just fine. So I'll turn it back on by reversing the procedure when NOT using the phone as a modem.
1. From the main screen, type #073887* (MUST DO THIS QUICKLY) Then enter personal security code. (Default is 000000, changed mine)
2. Scroll down to Test Mode, select it and enable it. Use "right soft key".
3. Hit End (Red hang up) HOLD until Phone SHUTS DOWN.
4. Reboot, Turn Phone BACK ON.
5. You should go right to a white screen. Hit the right arrow until you hit a screen with a long list of parameters including HDR Prefs
6. Scroll down to it and change it using the right arrow key from Auto to CDMA (AUTO IS THE DEFAULT).
NOTE: Next line down: "HDR Hybr:" (ON IS THE DEFAULT) One post said to set it to "OFF", others said NOT to. Tested, worked both ways!
7. From this WHITE Screen, you can click the EXIT button (Left Soft Key), then,
8. To EXIT "Test Mode", Hit CLR and the LEFT soft button; you should be back at the normal home screen. (HARD to press both KEYS, at the same time!) TIP: Press the CLR key first, and while holding that, press the left soft key and after a sec let go of CLR and then the left soft key following immediately after.
9. Now Must redo original steps, from main screen: #073887* and disable Test Mode, click EXIT-END button till back at Main Screen, did NOT need to reboot phone.
========================================
BLUETOOTH SETUP
Originally you pair your V3c phone to your computer using Blue Tooth Setup, it gives you an option at the end called something like use 1xRTT for high speed service.
Once you click ok on that youll be sent to a menu that gives you options for user name passwords string and such
Username :
xxxxxxxxxx@vzw3g.com (X= this is your cellphone number 10 digits)
Password: vzw
String: #777
For the Modem driver use modem script in dropdown menu: "Verizon Support (PC 5220).
==========================================
APPLE OSX SETUP (Tiger 10.4.3)
Before making and running the AppleScript below, when trying to "connect", I kept getting "Authorization Failed" messages after Internet Connect program would "disconnect". Looking at the "log file", I could see "CHAP Authorization Failed".
-------------- PASTED FROM ORIGINAL AUTHOR -----------------------
I got it working you need to force it to use pap. I found an applescript somwhere which will do it. Here it is, you have to open your applescript editor. Then paste it in there and run it, and save it.
CODE START:
display dialog "This script disables CHAP support in Mac OS X.
You will now be asked for your admin password
in order to modify a system file (/etc/ppp/options)." buttons "OK"
set normal_command to "touch /etc/ppp/options;chmod a+w /etc/ppp/options;echo \"refuse-chap
refuse-mschap
refuse-mschap-v2\" > /etc/ppp/options;chmod a-w /etc/ppp/options"
do shell script "sh -c " & quoted form of normal_command with administrator privileges
display dialog "Thank you.
To re-enable CHAP authentication, remove
the /etc/ppp/options file." buttons "OK" giving up after 5
END CODE:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If you use other DUN connections, not sure what this will do.
CHAP (wikipedia) is a protocol for encrypting your password over PPP. OS X seems have some type of autodetection mechanism for determining if and which encryption protocol it should use when connecting via PPP, evidently this doesn't work so well. So this applescript disables CHAP forcing OS X to always use PAP. Once I have some more time, I will look into ways for just disabling PAP for the one network connection, because this disables it for all PPP (dialup) connections.
MY NOTES ON THIS SCRIPT:
If you are at all concerned, and you know your way around the mac a bit, you can copy the original file "options", mine was ZERO bytes, the NEW one after making and running the script is 43 bytes. The folders are invisible, but once in there you can even open that file in TextEdit, save em both if you like someplace else as well. I used a program called "PathFinder" to see into the invisible folders, but other tiny apps are available.
Open Apple's Internet Connect program and you should be able to make online connection.
**** HAVE NOT TRIED ADDING MODEM STRING ADVICE BELOW **
ALTERNATE LOGIN OPTIONS:
1st OPTION:
Don't have National Access enabled on your account or live in an area where 1xRTT isn't available? Depending on your area, you might also have access to Verizon's older Quick2Net connection. This method of connecting gives data rates roughly equivalent to a 14.4 modem—significantly slower than the National Access 1xRTT connection. Also, Verizon has indicated that it will eventually go away as more areas get equipped to handle National Access, but for the time being, it offers a painfully slow opportunity to check your email. Just setup your phone following the above steps, but use the username "qnc" and the password "qnc". Several readers have also indicated that in order to use Quick2Net, you'll also need to add the Following string to your modem initialization script:
write "AT$QCMDR=2\13"
Special thanks to Steven Sather for being the first to provide the actual text to add to your initialization script to make Quick2Net work properly.
IN BLUETOOTH CONNECT WINDOW:
TELEPHONE NUMBER: #777
ACCOUNT NAME:qnc
PASSWORD: qnc
