Alright time to consolidate....

In order to get Internet Sharing working properly on the Sprint Touch after running the Official WM6.1 update you will need to do a bit of "tweaking".

You will need a registry editor in order to perform this tweak. I recommend PHM Registry Editor v0.70. It is freeware so you don't have to pay for it but you may use any registry editor of your choice. I personally use Resco Registry.

Open PIE(Pocket Internet Explorer for those who don't know) and navigate to any page you like. This will connect your phone to the internet using the "Sprint PCS" connection. Once it is connected, close PIE and disconnect.

Using a registry editor, make the following changes:

HKLM\Comm\InternetSharing
Delete this string: Extension - isext.dll

HKLM\Comm\InternetSharing\Settings\ForceCellConnection
Change from "Phone As Modem" to "Sprint PCS" <<NO QUOTES

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\InternetSharing\LastCellConnection
If it displays "Phone as Modem" change it to "Sprint PCS" <<NO QUOTES if it does not already say "Sprint PCS"

Then, using Schaps Advanced Configuration tool V2.1, disable the Phone as modem connection completely. Your phone will now connect to "Sprint PCS" for internet sharing and you will be good to go. Sprint will be none the wiser.

After you have made the above changes, wait THREE minutes(not really necessary to wait this long but just to be safe...) and then soft reset your phone.

After you have finished everything above, proceed to connect using Internet Sharing and enjoy!!

(hopefully all that "enjoying" doesn't reflect on our bills )


UPDATE*

Added a simple cab install for those who dont like to mess with the registry...just install to device and soft reset.

Re: TUTORIAL - How to tether using Internet Sharing with new Official ROM

Sorry to be a bother, but another noob here. I have D/L and installed D/\SHes Internet sharing hack. What I need to know, is this cab required in addition to that one? Do you need to have the activesync program installed on the PC you are trying to use? Do you have to soft reset after installing these cabs? I have the stock WM 6.1 rom on my Mogul. This is my first real venture into "changing" my phone. Thanks for the assistance. I love the board. You guys are most helpful.

So you don't need to use a program like wifirouter anymore?
 
Re: How to tether using Internet Sharing with new Official ROM

Thanks, worked on my Mogul. Does anyone know if this will show up on a bill, if you already have a data plan?
 
Re: How to tether using Internet Sharing with new Official ROM

So, at this point, has any Sprint user seen a surge in their bill from doing this?
