How to tether with the stock sprint rom

[Boo Boo]

to answer all the pms i find it easier to link to just one post. I have enclosed the only 2 cabs needed to get this running on a stock rom. you need to follow the directions exactly as posted.


Tethering - tested and works

1 - using file explorer go to Windows\Start Menu\Programs - delete internect connection sharing

2 install - ICS_and_WModem_Fix cab

3. using a regedit program

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]
Extension="" Delete the "isext.dll" entry

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\settings]
ForceCellConnection="Sprint"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]
MaxCMCon=0

[HKLM\Services\CMGuaridan]
Flags = 4 (it's a DWORD Value. if it doesn't exist. you need to create it)

4 - soft reset
5 - Start the Internet Sharing application.
6 - Select Sprint under type of connection.
7 - Hit Connect In the Internet Sharing application.
8 - Connect to the Laptop/PC via USB
9 - Done. No other applications needs to run on the PC/Laptop.

Ok so here lies my issue after step 4 I do step 5 but I don't have sprint under netwoks it says none and there are none under the drop down menu..any ideas

show me a screen shot this is what the screen should look like if you correctly deleted the ICS application before installing the ics fix. and you need to do all the reg edits.

make sure you check to see all the reg edits before soft resetting

heres a screen shot of what it should look like at the end

Why not use htc wi-fi router? It is simpler and wire free.

Could you please provide a link to the HTC wi-fi router?

Why can't we just install the ICS_and_WModem_Fix cab? Then simply launch ICS and choose Sprint before connecting.

Trial and error, I know for a fact my way works flawlessly, and it charges the phone while you surf too

Works great for me. I followed these directions exactly. Make sure you press "connect" in ICS application BEFORE connecting the phone to the USB cable. Another thing I want o add is when doing the reg edits I added the key:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]
MaxCMCon=0

There is already a similar key called "MaxCMConnectRetries" in the "settings folder so I created a new DWord key in the main "InternetSharing" folder since that is where the instructions said the key needed to be. This works on my SprintTP2.
Thanks for the instructions Boo Boo

Am I the only one bothered by having both of these show in the registry:

[HKLM\Services\CMGuaridan] <= Above, oddly enough spelled incorrectly

&

[HKLM\Services\CMGuardian] <= I also have this in my registry, spelled correctly according to all my skooling and edumacation.


Is one not needed?

i dont have CMGuardian you can try and delete it and see how it works. just copy all the reg keys in it.

i know the CMGuaridan folder has the correct spelling of CMGuardian in it, so who knows

[tx_dbs_tx]

I simply corrected the spelling of the folder because its quite obvious its misspelled. I didnt have two folders, I only had the one folder after the cab installs and I corrected the typo and I have no problems tethering. Whats that CMGuardian stuff anyway? Does anybody have a clue?
