thats not true...

my hero is bone stock and im tethering..there is a way to trick the phone to slow it down so you can connect. most of the people here get the error code when you simply click the share internet button on your phone...because sprint does not allow tether.... BUT..there is a way around it... switch your mode to 1x first (you switch to 1x because that slows your connection from what i read online)...then connect your usb cable to the computer.... once its connected, let it finish loading the usb connections etc on your computer...once all that is done, goto wireless networks from your phone and click to UNCHECK the "mobile network" so you are no longer connected online through your phone...then once that is completely turned off, click "mobile network" again AND quickly click "mobile network sharing"... if you did it correctly and quickly, the internet and mobile network sharing should both be connected. if it is wrong or not done quick enough, you will get the error code and will have to repeat the process......

sorry if the directions are all bunched up, but i initially wasnt going to explain it, ended up doing it anyways.... there should be an article in XDA forum about this..thats where i learned it from....

anyhow... i connect using that method all the time and it works fine... when i look up my account on sprint, i used over 8gb already...lmao

EDIT: FORGOT to mention after everything is connected, SWITCH IT BACK TO HYBRID! otherwise your connection will be slow as shit!
