Phone as modem not working

jejb · #1 (**permalink**) 05-09-2010, 09:31 AM

Sprint just replaced my TP with a TP2. It has the latest 2.04.651.4 ROM and Windows Mobile 6.5. I'm trying to get the tethering/phone as modem working. But I'm getting "67 Registration" errors anytime I actually try to connect. I've searched the forums and tried evertything I could find on this, like the steps outlined below. But everytime I soft boot the phone, the ForceCellConnection goes back to "phone as modem". Apparently, this stuff is getting forced there in the boot up routines? Is there some way around this?

I really need to get this working, so am open to ANY suggestions, like different ROM's, etc. Does anyone have this working with the latest Sprint ROM?

Thanks in advance for any help.

- Enable USB Teathering -
1. Go to: [HKLM\Services\CMGuardian]
2. Create a new DWORD Value called "Flags" and set the value data to "4"
(if it is already there then skip)
3. Softreset
4. Go to: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]
5: Delete the "isext.dll" entry
6. Go to: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\settings]
7. Change "ForceCellConnection" from "PhoneAsModem" to "Sprint"
8. Softreset

Install ICS and WModem Fix.cab

Thanks for the idea. I've done several hard resets today, trying different configurations/methods. I am able to get the steps under the "enable tethering" part of my first post to stick now, but I still get the same "67" errors when trying to connect via the Internet Sharing program.

I also tried Tattoed's cab after a hard reset, but it deleted the Internet Sharing program altogether. So that was a no-go, unless I need to use some other method/program to connect with after using that cab?

Again, is there a different/older ROM I can install to get this working? I don't care about having the latest release, especially if it means not being able to tether.

Again, is there anyone that is able to tether with this release of Sprint's ROM?

Hard reset, installed this cab. My choice of network is "<none>"

Sorry man, this cab doesn't work on new phones from Sprint now, so quit saying it's so great. maybe if you're upgrading from older ROM it's fine and maybe if I install downloaded ROM. But fact is that it's not working on from Sprint stock. I might try downloading the "stock ROM" and see it it'll take from that, but thought others with replacement phones that can't get it to work, go ahead and punt on Tattooed's cab. It's from the Diamond, so looks like it might be showing its age.

The registry edits require the quotes in "Sprint" to be there for mine to work ples start a internet connection first and goto "tools" icon for ICS.--RR

im runnin the stock 6.5 rom man.. upgraded from 6.1 like most.. this is same cab ive used every time.. you dont go change the registry then do the cab... the cabs do the reg stuff for you.... especially if you hard reset, you shouldnt of had issues after the cab..

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.

Thanks. I'll see if I can find it.

first off...ICS_WModem fix actually gives you ANOTHER interner share icon. Use the one that ONLY allows Sprint as your data connection. You don't need all those other regedits to get things going.

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.
