try this

Tethering - tested and works with TP

1. Edit the following regestry entries. Hard part is finding a registry editor, but they are out there:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]
Extension="" Delete the "isext.dll" entry

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\settings]
ForceCellConnection="Sprint"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]
MaxCMCon=0

2. Start the Internet Sharing application.
3. Hit Connect In the Internet Sharing application.
4. Connect the TP2 to the Laptop/PC via USB
5. Done. No other applications needs to run on the PC/Laptop.

Does you ForceCellConnection="Sprint" stick after a reset? See here for my experience: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...&postcount=360
After making the change I can tether but after a soft reset it reverts back to "Phone as Modem" In other words to tether I need to redo that registry change each time- do you know how to fix this??

if it doesn't work i would recommend checking the tp2 tips and tricks thread, because mighty mike posted a cab to enable the stealth tethering.

ive done it a bazillion times on my sprint tp1 and on my wifes diamond. Funny thing is lately hers reappears after soft reset also, I just figured it was the rom she was on. Thats strange.

can you use HTC wifi router via USB?

I always see people saying they use this to tether, but isnt it only for WIFI? I do use it for this at work, but at home I only tether USB using ICS with the Deleteforcecell connection hack.

not to be a pain but have you done it on your tp2 and then checked after a soft reset. I would like to be able to tether like I did on my tp1 where I started up ICS- selected sprint as connection and when I made the usb connection to my laptop (no activesync crap) I was on the internet.

I am also curious how these registry setting are repopulated after a soft reset- is there a hidden program that runs at start up that writes to the registry?
