ICS Tethering registry hacks for the Sprint Touch Pro

[sprint_2007]

If i go to Internet Sharing, and click USB, it wont charge so long you have a Data Plan right? I remember on the Mogul it has the option to choose Sprint PCS or Phone As Modem (PAM) will this charge us?

Do this with a reg editor:

Hack Internet Sharing to work:
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing
Delete Extension key,
set/create MaxCMCon=0 (decimal).

Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\settings
Delete ForceCellConnection
[Now, if you have unlimited data and in the internet sharing program select spring (not PAM) then you can tether to a computer and you will not be charged any extra)

If you just connect with USB it defaults to Phone as a Modem and you will be charged. Do this hack, then select sprint.

You need a registry editor like PHM (can be downloaded from post #5 here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread...218#post545218 )

*I have not been able to get BT tether to work with my mac like my mogul did, but all this hack should do is give you the options back to select which network to connect with.

I've having issues with tethering my sprint tp to a xp computer. I had it working in the past, but can't remember if it was my phone i had to trade in. I've done the reg hack.cab and it connects and says 10.0Mbit connected and it has packet transfers on the xp computer, but does not connect to the internet. Any tips or ideas?
Thanks!

Yep, I am having the same issue. The CAB hack worked perfectly on a TP that I had to return b/c I dropped it Anyway, I can't get the ICS hack to work on my new TP. It shows connected but i get no connection on Firefox. Only thing I can think of is the hack says to set/create MaxCMCon=0 (decimal) but I only see MaxCMConnectRetries=0 in my registry...are they the same thing? any ideas?..thx!

I used the Cab to install the internet mod and now my TP will not conect at all. I can't even turn the data conection off under setting and I keep getting error message DIALED #777. I also tried install the Cab that that return the mod to stock again and it still didn't work.

please help.

I am having serious issues with my TP. I used a cab file to edit my registry, and even checked to see if the changes were correct, which they seem to be. However, the connect button is STILL grayed out.

What do I do?! I have been searching all over, still no answer.

After running the CAB, is there any way to know for sure if you are being charged for PAM or if its running as a free tether?
