they no longer offer 'PAM'/Phone as Modem plans.. meaning theres no way for us to pay for tethering even if we wanted to... but trust me, boy can we still tether lol.. i used 14GBs on one line and 16GBs on another, and about 3.5GBs on my main line.. no charges, no charges, no charges... Ever.. so yeah.. we cant pay for it, but we can still do it

Okay, I did the install of just the cab you linked in above after a hard reset. Same, same. The error message is:
Error Code 67 Registration failure. Your PCS Vision username and/or password may be incorrect. Please try again.

I'm using blanks for id and pw, like I always have for tethering.

Any other suggestions?

And thanks for letting me know you do have it running on the current ROM. But it makes me scratch my head even more about it.

Secondly, there is also an app called WMWifiRouter. It is now a paid app. Once upon a time, it was free. I'm sure if you searched/googled enough you'll run across a free/OLDER version. I personally suggest paying for it...because it is worth what you pay AND THEN SOME!

Lastly, before you do anymore...I'd say clear storage (hard reset) and start over fresh.

be careful with the older versions of wmwifirouter. It killed my internet connection forcing hard resets with my phone on the stock 6.1 sprint.
but I heard the paid newer version doesn't do this so if you get your tethering working, it might be worth it to you.
not to add to your frustration, but I just tethered last week (4g usb stick wasn't getting signal). had no problems. started ics, waited for it to say usb disconnected, connected, instant access. i'm using a personal build ROM though that might have older software that works.

I've been using the stock program on Win 6.5 no edits or anything, but i'm curious what everyone else's top dl speed is. I'm getting about 75 kb/s. Is there anyway to increase the speed? and are the reg edits really necessary?

Hey I installed the cab to my phone. I never tried tethering before so im a noob. what do I do next?

Not trying to be a hardnose or anything here, but I'd appreciate it if we stayed on topic. I really need to get tethering working on my phone. Thanks.

i've never needed to enter a user name or password when I tether. i always just opened ics, waited for it to say usb connection failed, then connect. that's all.
under settings/connections go to manage existing connections and what do you have?
for modem, the only one I have is sprint with #777 out beside it.
then under advanced, I have sprint as the autoconnect network and My work network for the private network.

Just installed the ICS WModem Cab, did the soft reset and it connected within a minute using usb. and getting 10mbps... not sure if that is any good compared to any of you alls.
Thanks All, A heck of alot easier than VZ Access manager.

Bust out your plastic and get WMWiFiRouter, works great and you pay $23 only once. I have used it since my Mogul days and 12 phones later it still works flawlessly with status/speed info and only takes 2 min to load with 2 cabs(program and license cab). Updates are included. I dont know why people keep wanting to deal with the hastles of setting up a "free teathering app" when a one time $23 charge can cure it period. They have a 30 try before you buy, two clicks you got a hotspot via usb/bluetooth/wifi. The time you took to read this reply you could have been done already.

I would try either the new Mr X. rom or the New Mighty Rom. Mike spent almost 4 days playing with the new sprint ROM, because they did add something to the stock that will reset the settings to prevent tethering. Mike did find a solution and it is cooked into his new ROM. There are tons af people that use his rom (myself included) that tether and have not had any problems. I mentioned Mr. X's Rom because him and Mighty work together on a lot of stuff so the new Mr. X should have the new tethering fix also. There is also a cab in the sticky for mods/cabs (cant remember the exact name sorry) that Mighty Mike put together that will help. But I WOULD definately check out the New Mighty Rom.

Hope this helps man!
