Anyone know if this is the same in the new 6.5 version? Will BT tether option be available?

Answer is here, http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...=114849&page=2 Needed to add the Flag reg. edit which apparrently stops the CM from changing back to phone as modem whenever you do a soft reset.

Installed the Sprint Stock 6.5 ROM (upgrading from Stock 6.1 ROM) and I have 2 issues. (1) I was able to USB tether via ICS and WModem Fix cab and wifi tether via HTC WifiSharing cab before (no registry edits) with no problem. After installing the update, I cannot tether with either. I don't want to use PdaNet because I've read it is not as consistent as the cabs. I live in a rural area where broadband is almost non-existent and was excited that the cab worked on 6.1. The ICS cab downloads and creates a Sprint option, but the PC will not connect to the network. After clicking connect, the status changes to "check usb cable" and just stays there. Nothing is wrong with the cable, because Active Sync works fine. I installed Mr. X Tethering Tracking Hotfix cab, and it didn't help. I installed Calkulin's Tethering Hotfix cab, and it didn't work either. I even downloaded Merlin (Marlin) registry editor & attempted my first registry edit following Boo Boo's instructions, and that didn't work. Someone please tell me what the problem could be. And, no, I don't get the 67 error. I have an active data connection, but the tethering just won't work. Should I reflash the 6.5 ROM to clear the cabs and registry edits (remove programs doesn't remove some of these cabs)?

(2) Problem on 6.1 and now 6.5. Seems I have a ghost text message. My Inbox folder path is showing 1 unread text message, though, there isn't one. Against my own will, I even cleared out my text folder (in, out, draft, sent & deleted), and it still shows. Any suggestions on this as well? Besides those two issues, I like the 6.5 update.

This worked like a charm. Thanks!

Goodness. I use PdaNet.

Can you point me in the direction of a tutorial for doing this? I used to tether using USB Modem with my TP1, but it has been a while and I want to make sure when I go away I know how to do it with my TP2.

I have a MacBook Pro running 10.6.2

Well first you should install the Stealth mode cab in the tweaks sticky.

Then as for choices to share, there is using ICS or there are other tools such as:

HTC WIFI ROUTER

WMWIFIROUTER

PDANET

And one more but forgot its name(but its annoying to config, it was made on XDA)

I have used wmwifirouter before but since I got a new TP2 I'm trying the HTC WIFI ROUTER which I think was token off the Topaz, so far it seems the easiest to configure and does not require ICS.
