ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro

[jgorm]

I've having issues with tethering my sprint tp to a xp computer. I had it working in the past, but can't remember if it was my phone i had to trade in. I've done the reg hack.cab and it connects and says 10.0Mbit connected and it has packet transfers on the xp computer, but does not connect to the internet. Any tips or ideas?
Thanks!

Yep, I am having the same issue. The CAB hack worked perfectly on a TP that I had to return b/c I dropped it Anyway, I can't get the ICS hack to work on my new TP. It shows connected but i get no connection on Firefox. Only thing I can think of is the hack says to set/create MaxCMCon=0 (decimal) but I only see MaxCMConnectRetries=0 in my registry...are they the same thing? any ideas?..thx!

I am having serious issues with my TP. I used a cab file to edit my registry, and even checked to see if the changes were correct, which they seem to be. However, the connect button is STILL grayed out.

What do I do?! I have been searching all over, still no answer.

After running the CAB, is there any way to know for sure if you are being charged for PAM or if its running as a free tether?

I tested ICS through bluetooth to work very well.

Do I need ActiveSync to get the USB part to work?
I can't get a connection through USB.

USB Modem is working fine through USB (though not through bluetooth).

So for right now, I use USB Modem for USB and ICS for bluetooth.

Made a couple of cabs files that should make it easier

The first one contains the modifications to the Registry to get Internet Sharing
"internet-sharing-mod.cab"

The second on is to return the the registry to the default setting
"internet-sharing-original.cab"

Just copy the files to your Touch Pro and click the internet-sharing-mod.cab file to install.
Install to Device/main memory (don't know what happens if you choose storage card? never tried it, never will) then your done. You will be able to tether your device through Sprint with no problems.

internet-sharing-mod.cab:
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]
"Extension"=""
"MaxCMCon"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\Status]
"Enabled"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\Settings]
"ForceCellConnection"="Sprint"
"MaxCMConnectRetries"=dword:00000000

internet-sharing-original.cab:
REGEDIT4

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

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\Status]
"Enabled"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\Settings]
"ForceCellConnection"="Phone as Modem"
"MaxCMConnectRetries"=dword:00000000

I've tried editing the registry, I've tried the cab from jasonmp3 and I've tried just deleting the value \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\Settings\ ForcedCellConnection.

On every try I started ICS, connected and then plugged the usb cable into my laptop. It does the whole acquiring network thing and everytime it comes up with "this connection has limited or no connectivity" and I can't browse the web. What exactly am I doing wrong?

I tried both manually reg edit and the compiled cab file and noticed that my Diamond running with stock rom could not save the edits. You changed the "phone as modem" to "sprint", go up to the parent folder then come back the value automatically reverted. This is super annoying, now each time I have to delete those keys such as LastConnction, Forceconnection etc to get the pull-down menu in ICS so that I could choose Sprint as connection type. And everytime I softreset this menu disappear and all the edits reverted back to "phone as modem".

So there is no 100% way to tether with sprint on the touch pro? all i see is mixed comments some say it works some say it does not, can some one give a definite answer if its working or not and what should be done to make the hack work?
