USB tethering Sprint Touch Pro 2 running the stock WM 6.5 Rom

Alrite fellas, I know there are a ton of threads on how to tether via USB using ICS. I think I finally got the proper way to stealth tether/connect using ICS. In my case, I wasn't able to find anybody who had all the exact correct steps. I followed a few of the steps that PPCGeeks forum member "Boo Boo" posted. However, several steps were missing. The following steps will work for TP2 users who are using the stock 6.5 Sprint Rom:
1) Install DotFred's TaskManager. After install, start the program and go to the "Services" tab. Find "CM Guardian", click and hold it and then press stop. Once again, click and hold "CMGuardian" and select "Set Manual". Exit out of the program.
Soft Reset
2) Install the ICS_and_WModem_Fix cab that is attatched below.
3) Using a Registry Editor, edit the following:
Delete the "isext.dll" entry located here:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]
Extension="isexy.dll"
Change ForceCellConnection to Sprint, if it is not already done so:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\settings]
ForceCellConnection="Sprint"
You may have to create this DWORD entry if it is not already there:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]
MaxCMCon=0
I didn't need to make any changes here as it was already done. But you might have to:
[HKLM\Services\CMGuaridan]
Flags = 4 (it's a DWORD Value. if it doesn't exist. you need to create it)
Change the following if needed. If you are missing some of these entries, don't worry. There is no need to create them:
[HKLM\Software\OEM\WModem]
CheckProfile = 0
Multi-NAI = 0
WModemDUN = 0
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\InternetSharing]
LastCellConnection = Sprint
Soft Reset
4) Then go into the Windows directory on your phone using a File Explorer and make a backup copy of the IntShr.exe file and save it to another directory. This will be your backup to save just in case you have any problems in the future.
Then go back to the Windows directory and make a copy of IntShrUI.exe. Save it to another directory. Then rename the IntShrUI.exe copied file to IntShr.exe . Copy that file and place it back into the Windows directory. A prompt will pop up asking if you want to overwrite the existing file. Select "Overwrite." You will get a message stating that this is a ROM file and it is dangerous blah blah. Ignore that. The reason to do all of this is because the original IntShr.exe is not protected against tethering and doesn't offer the Sprint/Phone As Modem option. This is what I mean:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
That is also the same file that pops up when you select Internet Sharing whenever you connect your phone to your PC using USB. You don't want that. BY making these changes, now every time you connect your phone to your PC via USB, and you select Internet Sharing, it will start up the correct ICS file. This is the screen you want popping up:
Now, Reboot.
5) You should make sure to turn "Data Connection" on in the Comm Manager. Connect your phone via USB cable to your PC. When the selection screen pops up on your phone (ActiveSync, Disk Drive, Internet Sharing), make sure to select Internet Sharing.
Select Sprint under type of connection, if it is not already selected.
Hit Connect In the Internet Sharing application, although it may connect automatically.
6) You're done. I know that's quite a few steps, but this was the way that it fully worked for me. If you want Wi-Fi tethering, you can install one of the numerous Wi-Fi cabs that are floating around. But do so after you finish these steps. Hope this can help someone out and sorry for beating a dead horse.

Network connection only shows "None"
Hi ,
I executed all the steps mentioned in the thread in sequence. Now only option "none" is shown under network in the ICS screen. And the connect option is disabled.

Easy there Anger Boy... You might wanna get off your little pedestal there for a moment. If you took time to actually read my post, you would notice that I stated that there are a ton of threads on how to tether via USB using ICS, but none of them fully worked for me. I also gave credit to forum member Boo Boo, whos' post is also where I found the ICS_and_WModem_Fix cab. I didn't rename the cab or claim it was mine. And if you actually searched through the "Tether" posts, you would see many posters just post that cab as a way to "help others out." But you wouldn't understand that part now would you? Perhaps you haven't been on this site long enough? Next time, why don't you try contributing something positive instead of playing "Thread Police".

Sounds good. But did you make sure to check the Windows folder to see if you needed to replace the stock IntShr.exe (42kb) file? You may not need to, but in my case, I did. Steps 1-3 (in my OP) has been originally stated in many other threads before. But I haven't come across any thread that mentioned Step 4. For me personally, I had to learn about it through trial and error. It saves the extra step of having to start the Internet Sharing program prior to connecting the USB cable.

yes it does everything you need i also checked the registry after install because at first i was doing the registry edit then installing the program but i installed it first by mistake then checked the registry and everything was already set so all i do is run the cab and just make sure the registry is correct and never seen number 4 either as soon as i plug the usb in my phone goes to the menu usb connect menu

When you plug the USB in your phone and the USB To PC menu pops up and you select Internet Sharing, does the menu give you the option to select either Sprint or Phone As Modem or does it only give you the option to select USB/Bluetooth?

Yes, I have Touch Pro2 6.5 Sprint Stock rom

Should be As Easy As 1-2-3!
I have been using Sprint HTC Touch Pro for a very long time, only thing you actually need is ICSInstall.cab (IntShrUI), that's the only thing you need,for my HTC Touch Pro from Sprint (stock, non-modified) I do not need any additional program such as WModem etc., after install press "ok" to restart the device, then for the first time, open your Opera browser and make the connection alive.
Then open IntShrUI and click Bluetooth PAN and Network Connection as "Sprint". That's it. No need to edit ANY files. Same thing will work on HTC Touch Pro 2, I just tried, no need to do any additional steps, HOWEVER...
NOW, my question is, everything works EXCEPT the Bluetooth PAN, for the PC Connection on IntShrUI in HTC Touch Pro, it cave me an option for either Bluetooth PAN or USB, but in the new HTC Touch Pro 2 it only offer USB, I love the Bluetooth PAN because it's... simple... wireless!
Any idea foks?

[APP] ADB filesystem plugin for Total Commander

EDIT: Aleq has posted updated versions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23937844&postcount=36
Checked whether a project for creating a WinCE like plugin for total commander already exist, but couldn't find one, so here it is.
Disclaimer: This plugin is still in it's infancy, therefore it might crash you, your PC or your phone. It might not even start. But it'll improve.
1. What's this?
This is a filesystem plugin for total commander that let's you browse and modify the contents of your phone while using total commander
2. Why?
Although there are some android file managers out there, none of them I've found integrates into total commander. And if you've already using tcmd as a general file manager you usually don't want to open up a new program just to access your filesystem.
3. How?
The plugin uses the "adb shell" interface to communicate with the phone. It issues simple linux commands, parses the results and shows them to you in tcmd.
4. What's needed?
Total commander on your PC, busybox on your phone (root is not needed, but it will be used if available), and USB debugging turned on as well. Next download the plugin, open it in total commander and let it install.
5. Download location?
Download the latest version from here: http://github.com/sztupy/adbfsplugin/downloads
6. Supported features?
- directory listing
- copying from/to phone (very slow)
- copying/moving/renaming inside the phone
- creating and deleting directories
7. Whats needed?
- Better error handling
- Command line interface
- Attribute changing
- APK management
- etc.
8. Common pitfalls/limitations/etc.
- If the plugin can't start the adb server, wait a bit, then try it again
- The plugin won't ask you whether you want to overwrite a file or not, it will overwrite it
- Uploading and downloading files is very-very slow
- The plugin starts by trying to use su. If it can't get permission to use su (for example you pressed deny on the superuser page), it will run as a normal user.
Licence: GPLv3 (with the added exception that allows you to use the plugin with total commander... duh) and CC-BY-SA

Excellent. I will follow the development of this plugin closely. For now I can't use it. I get an error when trying to browse the phone.
Code:
<0005 - stat failed>
EDIT: I am on a HTC Hero running CyanogenMOD 6.

Thanks for this... I have been using total commander for a few years now and I love it. I also use it to open up apk files and change images within them if I need too. I have made a lot of changes to my framework-res and com.htc.resources png files by simply using total commander. So great job on this

Perfect, thank you. Must needed tool for total commander and android users.

this is fine.
-it doesn't play nice with older busybox versions, there is an app (called Busybox) on the market that tries to install/update busybox, it is a great help
-symbolic links are not playing nice
other ways this is amazing

very nice idea
It would be nice if the plugin would use my already installed adb server instead of starting it's own (maybe in the future outdated) version.

Symbolink links and more compatibility with busybox < 1.17.1 is coming soon. I'm also working on linking this with adb putty, so running commands from the command line should work too.

I have installed the plugin, and have my phone connected in debug mode, but how do I access it now? I confirmed that adb shell is able to connect, but in Total Commander I see no way to access my phone. (The drive letters that are usually used for access while mounted don't work.)
I have experience with Total Commander, I have used adb shell, but I can't really figure this thing out...

Oh wow, that is not a place I would look for my USB-connected phone .
But it works now, thanks .
Edit:
it is indeed very slow. A shame, because that means it's actually not a practical way to regularly put music and videos on my phone and download my photos off of it. Is there a chance the low speed can be fixed?
Also, there are several applications that allow you to use ADB wirelessly, could you support that in this plugin? Would be a very nice feature!
I believe they all use 'adb connect IP-addressort' on the computer's side to connect to it, so that does not sound very difficult to me.
Thanks for your work so far, initiatives like these are very appreciated

Nice app. Thanks!

Thanks for this. I prefer Directory Opus but I will use Total Commander just for this plugin. Thank you!!!

The speed issue is on the todo list, but it will be never as fast as the native usb connection. (the same was true with the WinCE/activesync plugin too)

Win XP / TC 7.55a
Installation OK, but no registered name "Android" available in TC's network neighborhood. (even though TC plugins manager reports successful registration).
Thanks

WOW great job....that plugin is awesome!
Support for ADB WiFi would be great!

[APP+CONFIG] Run Any Windows x86/x64 Program (eg. Run Full Office 2010 on TF)

What this will and wont do...
Will...
1. Allow you to run any x86/x64 Windows software from any Android device using the RemoteApp function of Remote RDP.
2. You can use the trackpad and right click of the transformer so most if not all functionality of the native windows app will be available to you.
3. You can create a shortcut for the app directly on you homescreen.
Will not
1. run the program natively in Android
2. run locally (ie you need a network connection)
3. grant you super powers
Requirements:
1. Remote RDP Paid version by Yongtao Wang (~$10) https://market.android.com/details?id=org.toremote.serversmanager
2. Windows 2003 Server or above machine as RDP Host (If anyone knows how to enable "Run Program on Startup" from the desktop versions of Windows RDP Hosts Let us know. Im actually using Windows Server 2008 for my setup)
3. Slight working knowlege of RDP (I will keep everything as extensive as possible and have screenshots all over but you might need to know a bit of whats going on)
--The average setup will must likely be a Win2008 VM running on your daily desktop dedicated to just this. If you need help just post your question, I monitor this thread regularly and update OP to clarify this more and more.
Instructions:
1. Download and install Remote RDP from Android Market. (Link above)
2. On your Windows Server, enable remote desktop connection. (Note your IP address)

2.5 Make sure to install the app on the windows server by going to "Control Panel>Install Application on Terminal Server"
2.7 Then Go to "Administrative Tools>TS RemoteApp Manager" Should look like this
2.9 Note the full path with file name for the app (you will need this later)
3. On TF run Remote RDP and select menu>add
4. Fill in the following
-Host: IP address of windows machine noted earlier
-User/Password/Domain: Optional...this will prompt you when you run the app or if you dont care about security or you have total control then put it there (be aware of risks though...)
-Color: leave alone for now not important
-Screen button: press it and select 1280x750 This resolution works best for TF because of the Android Bar that persists throughout.
-Program: fill in the path to the program excecutable in the box here that you noted from your windows machine... I know I didnt mention earlier. Ill edit again later.
-Name: use this to name what you want your shortcut to be named on your homescreen (not shown on screenshot)
My example
5. Hit back button
6. Select your app to test it (Ill add more test steps when I edit again...ie you should test if RDP is working before filling in program etc. This is just first draft to get the faster people up and running noawz!)
7. If your app runs good...back out of it using HC back button. BTW, this is full Excel on Android! with usage of TF Trackpad and right click...
7.5 Save to TF Storage (in the options if you notice that there was a check box for "SD Card" it actually mounts your internal storage to the Remote Server and allows you to save to it!
8. Longpress your app and select "Home screen shortcut".
More Info to come...please comment on your experience with this. I will answer troubleshooting questions too.
Thanks to...
- Azhad for his Thread earlier today "RDP Terminal service client, with FULL trackpad and external mouse support" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136359
- Yongtao Wang for his mastery of RDP...Check out his other work. I think they have a full working secure HTML 5 RDP Client.

Reserved for more info.

Just looking for confirmation.
This is different from logmein and splashtop in that once you connect you are creating a shortcut on the TF desktop to a specific program on the Windows machine. And once setup, when you click on the shortcut it auto starts RDP and opens the windows app only in the RDP window on the TF so you are virtually using the program from windows as opposed to controlling the entire windows desktop from within RDP?

i wonder if this could be used to say play videos from the host computer. Or maybe netflix.

While PhoneMyPC is slightly more expensive I think it's quite a bit better than your method above. It's a bit more versatile and I get a faster response time with it (over wifi) than RDP on my TF.
Each to their own though ofc.

Yes. This is virtually using the program from windows from within your TF. Basically you are running an x86/64 app from a personal cloud!
Side note: I was testing and googling to get it to run programs residing on an xp machine and couldnt get it to work and couldnt googforce my way through it. If anyone finds a way to "Run application on startup" from an RDP session with an XP host please share. I will update OP with the info. (Guess its Windows Server 2003 and up for now)

Yes. Give it a try. You will need to set colors and have it be local network. Dont know RDP performance for video over WAN but guessing it will suffer due to overhead. Also over LAN may not be optimum. You may want to just convert or use some type of VLC streaming or something like that. I dont know how to do that but someone might post a link later if they know.

Does this open just a windows program alone with no desktop and allow use of trackpad and rightclick? If not then you dont understand the purpose of this thread (no disrespect). I currently use Logmein and WYSE Pocket Cloud for the functionality you speak of "Plain old connection" to remote PC, but what this thread is about primarily is the usage of an x86/64 app from windows on Android in a simulated fashion that makes it virtually seemless as and Android app. Try it out, you will see the difference. Use Word or excel as an example.

nothing happened. tried windows 7 and server 2008, it would remote in and do nothing. tried to open IE, couldnt get it any way I tried.

Yes you can do via their 'execute actions' which lets you run any command line code. I've not tried to run anything at startup using this though. It lets you use usb mice, the trackpad, etc. I'm not sure if every piece of software can be run so it feels seemless or not but it's probably possible with it.

See OP at step 7.5
I just added this because you asked a very good question and even I didnt know until checking it out. This is getting better and better...

Only Windows Server 2003/2008 will let you launch individual apps, normal version don't have Terminal Server and remote apps. Those who want such functionality should consider running Windows Server 2008 with VMware Workstation or VirtualBox.

RemoteApp Manager was the key. Worked once I got that. Thanks a lot for the screenshots. So awesome!
edit: also, found this but I couldnt get it to work with my desktop. I have yet to try a fresh install though. I will try at work next week. http://geekswithblogs.net/twickers/archive/2009/12/18/137048.aspx

Might be a stupid question, guys:
Has anyone tried this over 3G? If so, how does it perform?
Through using SplashtopHD, my Transformer is becoming my work machine (as i connect to my desktop at home)... this works well, although the lack of proper mouse support can be frustrating.
If this works over 3G, it even sounds like the right-click on the keyboard dock / touchpad would work...

Can someone confirm this will work in windows 7 pro?

This works over 3G just set colors accordingly if you have bandwidth issues. This works better than Splashtop.

RDP inherently works on win7pro just like XP. The solution for running just the app without the desktop will only work with the server versions AFIK.

Will running just the app work on Windows 7 Ultimate? Thats not considered a server version is it?
Id really love to see a way to do this without running a old operating system...

You can use windows 7 ultimate for rdp but the remote app functionality is part of terminal services in the server os. Win 2008R2 is the Server version of Win 7. It is the latest server edition and came out with 7.

[SOLVED] AdHoc Wifi on G3. WORKING! Simplified TUT with Images

PLEASE DO NOT MENTION HERE THAT CONNECTIFY, VIRTUAL ACCESS POINT OR ANY OTHER SOFTWARE SAYING THEY ALLOW THIS TOO.

Share your Internet & Transfer files wirelessly with Encryption Support [ROOT ACCESS REQUIRED]
This mod does NOT remove any functionality of the original WiFi.
It only improves over it.
So saying, if this can be implemented by custom Rom devs in their releases/updates, that would be nice
Some would wonder why create or modify something which perfectly works on their home Wifi Network. Well, I would say, you wont ALWAYS be in the vicinity of your home network, would you? And when you are in a place where there are only wired means of internet access and no Wireless Access Points, what do you do? Ofcourse, you may be able to connect your laptop to the wired LAN in that area.
And share this wired internet to other wireless devices through its Wifi adapter with the exception of your Android Phone. Why? Because, Android DOES NOT support adhoc wireless networks.
OK. Lets get down to business and get this working. Just follow the steps and you will be just fine. To avoid any complications, please first try with exact settings.

On Phone, with Root Explorer, copy "wpa_supplicant" file to /system/bin and replace original file

You have to configure both the Devices to have manual(computer)/static(android) IP settings. Just the normal procedure for creating ad-hoc networks by following the steps.

I have usb modem too. And internet works on mine
Try running network setup wizard again.
Or manually set/enable Internet Sharing on the properties of your usb modem.
Or have a look at this

The main objective here is, simply put, use wifi to transfer file between computer n your phone instead of usb/bluetooth WITHOUT THE NEWS OF A ROUTER
Also, reverse wifi tether aka use your computer's internet (laptop with wifi n no router is available) from phone.

I have done everything and both my system(ubuntu 11.04) and android(kyrillos v6.1) got connected.
but, how to share file and others stuffs???
and what all I can do with it and how ???

Hey! Congrats! You have done very well!!
You have done 90% of the work.
Okay...
To share files, you need to give the computer a service from your phone.
You have to run some kind of server on the phone. FTP????
Well, I prefer SMB (Samba). So, I use "Samba File Sharing", freely available in market. Does the job for file transfer or manipulation from the computer side.
Inorder to have internet running on your phone through computer, you need two things:
1. Wireless Card (The through which you have connected your phone to computer)
2. A modem or a LAN card or any other interface which connects you to the INTERNET.
I dont know about Ubuntu but Im sure the logic is the same.
You have to configure your modem/connection of internet to SHARE with other devices connected to your computer (in this case, number 2). This is called Internet Connection Sharing in Windows.
Hope you got the point.
Im sorry I couldnt be more helpful.

Hey thank you vary much......
It helped me very much...........

[APP][2.1+] Droid NAS - SMB server for Android

Droid NAS allows you to share folders over a Wi-Fi network, making your Android device visible as a Bonjour computer in the Finder on your Mac. Turn your phone or tablet into a wireless flash drive with a single tap!
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Different profiles can be used to quickly choose which folders to share. Assign your home or office Wi-Fi networks to profiles and Droid NAS will auto-select profiles on start.
Supported systems:
- Mac OS X.
- Android: apps like ES File Explorer, Solid Explorer, GTVBox Video Player.
- Windows is NOT supported because it can't connect to SMB servers via a non-standard port.
- Linux most probably also won't work.
Recent changes:
- Added password protection.

The irony... You made a server with a Windows protocol (more or less) that don't work on Windows. xD
But what's the advantage of this over a FTP server (I'm not a Network guy)
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium

Thanks to Bonjour protocol, Android device will appears automatically in Finder and you can work with it like you work with a flash drive. E.g. you can edit a documents directly on the device.
I've seen another SMB server on this XDA, but you need a root access to use the default port. Big question to ROM developers - can Android be modified to allow ports numbers < 1000 for apps like this?

Very nice....I transfered a 14 MB file faster than I could have went and found my USB cable. KUDDOS!!! Thanks for this app.

Will try it with total commander or sth. other on windows. Thank you any way it can be much easier to access the files of galaxy nexus since it has no mass storage mode.

- Windows is NOT supported because it can't connect to SMB servers via a non-standard port.
So why dont u use the standard port?

It's only possible for console apps in rooted devices, will be happy if there will be some way to do it.
Version 1.0.4 adds support for custom shares, e.g. external SD card.

It could be great a version for rooted device ¡¡¡ then these users ( I`m one of thems) could enjoy enterely of this app with windows pc`s Is it so difficult to add up an option for these rooted devices? Maybe requesting some help to developer could solve this issue.
Anyway , thanks for so many efforts go on with your great app.

Yeah, this is correct. I am assuming you have written this entirely in Java or using something like JLAN? If so, without changes to the Android framework it is not possible without elevating to root (via su) and running processes from the command line (as root). I tried the JLAN route and it works for non-standard ports but without running the application as the root user (not feasible atm) you can't bind ports below 1024.

"custom shares" Not from what I see!

I fully disagree with the ability to point to other folders NOT on the SD Card. I have an SATA drive on my Android that can't even be seen by this app. I can see and use via FTP but would love to see this app bring in sharing of ALL folders linked within the unit.

When will it be possible to share ALL folders on a device? I have a ton of data on both an SATA drive and a connected USB drive. Neither can this app see.

Is not possible to introduce a "Root Mode" that opens the server in the standard port or configures a iptables local port redirect to accept windows clients?

"Connection Failed" in finder
So this is admittedly a pretty vague issue. Until now i've been able to use the app DroidNas to transfer files with my Macbook. Randomly today, when I go to my device (Verizon HTC one) in Finder, it tells me "Connection Failed" almost immediately. They're both on the same wifi network, and as far as a I can tell I haven't changed any settings that would affect the network connectivity of my phone. I tried using a clean hosts file, in case maybe adaway was causing the problem, but no dice.
Anyone have any idea what the problem is / any troubleshooting ideas?

It may be the problem with OSX Mavericks. The workaround is described in the last update:
What's New
OS X Mavericks workaround:
Press Cmd+K in Finder and enter IP address AND share:
smb://IP_ADDRESSort/Share
for example:
smb://192.168.1.2:7777/SD Card

Same here. Then it is accessible by any client.
And does it work under Kitkat ?

Help... I installed this on my android tv box. My transfer speeds is around 2-3MB/s tops. In the same network, if I was to transfer between a mac and another mac, I get 5-10MB/s at least. Also, constantly, almost when the file is finished transferring, I get an error saying something like the file cannot be read and written.
Which android box should I get next to solve this issue? I need one that I can connect a 2TB hard disk to.
Also, what's the best workaround for 10.9 machines? SMB 2 seems to break functionality. I've tried using AFP/CDIF to no success.
Thanks!
