gonna have to be a little more specific how u tried ro use these cabs. u also have to disable CMguardian. it reverts all these settings back to default after a soft reset. also try opening a browser first, then running connection sharing. what's happening when u run the programs? is your phone makin a data connection? need more info

Flash to Mighty Rom. All I did was plug it into the computer and it worked as a modem just fine.

Yeah but you can only install Mighty ROM if you phone is Unlocked.

#1. How do you unlock your phone or see if its even locked.

#2. How do you Re-flash back to the Stock Sprint ROM?

flashing custom rom would definitely get it going. but I'm on stock rom. and have absolutely no problems tethering over usb or wifi

mine does this if I don't start a connection on the phone first. I just open opera mini and go to a web page. then minimize it and start connection sharing or wifi sharing. open up the internet connection sharing app and make sure its using "SPRINT" and not "Phone as Modem" . I believe after I installed the tethering fix and used it for the first time I had to change it to sprint. but if u haven't did the CMguardian fix , it won't stay
