HKLM\Comm\InternetSharing\Settings
MaxCMConnectRetries = 0
ForceCellConnection = Sprint
HKLM\Software\OEM\WModem
CheckProfile = 0
Multi-NAI = 0
WModemDUN = 0
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\InternetSharing
LastCellConnection = Sprint

Then you'll be good!

I just noticed that the reg edits were not sticking.

These 2 in particular will always change back to "PAM".

ForceCellConnection = Sprint
LastCellConnection = Sprint

All the others appear ok.
I have waited for a few minutes before restarting but no change.

Unfortunatly, I used the internet sharing yesterday while waiting at car dealership. This was before I noticed the reg edits not sticking.

I checked my internet usage on line and it has doubled.
(~30,000kb to ~60,000kb)
I have unlimited remaining.

Should I be worried?

First of all, I wouldn't worry about that little amount of usage. More importantly, we need to figure out why the reg edits didn't stick. When you say you waited a few minutes before restarting ... are you doing a soft reset after the edits? Here's my procedure ... do the reg edits, close the registry editor, wait at least 60 seconds, and do a soft reset.

here is my procedure ( 2 of them):

1.
make reg edit (using PHM)
HKLM\Comm\InternetSharing

ForceCellConnection = “pam”

Change to SPRINT

Save

Click another value

Go back to ForceCellConnection..

And it still says “PAM”

Never have left PHM or reset.


2.
make reg edit (using PHM)
HKLM\Comm\InternetSharing

ForceCellConnection = “pam”

Change to SPRINT

Wait 30sec
Close PHM
Wait30sec
Softreset


Check the registry

Still says “PAM”

I suggest you do this. First, download shaggylive's CM Killer cab here:

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?p=1203597

Then put your device in airplane mode(radio off). Then click on the cm killer cab and install to device.
Then open phm reg editor and make the edits and save. When I make the edits, I click on the ok in the upper right corner after inputting the changed value and phm will ask if you want to save and you can click "yes". Then wait a min. Then soft reset and re-open phm to check to see that the edits stick. Good Luck!!

I did exactly this:
do the reg edits
close the registry editor
wait at least 60 seconds
and do a soft reset

Still says "PAM".

BTW, I am using:
the latest SPRINT STOCK ROM
+ SPB shell


I tried to unlock my phone a few days ago.
SO as to load a difffernt ROM.

But my luck...

my daughter came running to me and pulled the usb cabel from the phone midway.

I thought i had bricked it.
I have since tried to unlock it but i always get the error saying recovery needed.
