Found this over in the development and hacking forum. Figured Id share it with everyone over in this section since Ive searched several pages and never come across it in this software section.
Ive tested it and it is working 100% with my Diamond running Nhathoa 1.7 Rom.
Enjoy it if you didnt know about it already...

I can't get it to work on my HTC Touch-Pro from Alltel... although everything in the status area says it is working...????????????
Once I got it running the first time, my laptop would not find the wifi from the phone. I closed and restarted it and gave it a minute to locate it, has worked perfect since.

I wonder if this might work for me too... anyone else had this luck pan out using this program?
Too bad Playstration and Wii don't recognize Ad-Hoc connections...
Tried USB tethering for the first time today and I was pleased with how quickly it set up and worked.
Now, I have HTC sync installed as this is my main PC, but does anyone know the set of driver files needed for Windows to pick up the Hero as a modem?
I'd like to pop them on the SD card to allow me to enable internet access on anyone's PC or laptop without installing full HTC sync.
If you've a default set up, the NDIS drivers can be found in c:\Program Files\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files.

Thanks but it only has the drivers there for Vista x64 (my OS), I really need drivers for XP and Vista x86 too
Odd - when I installed it here on W7 x86, I get both 32-bit and 64-bit driver directories. If you can, I suggest you install on a 32-bit installation to get the driver files.

Hello everyone,
This is one of my first post/reply here, so before anything thank you very much to all here for sharing such good infos.
I've tried to setup my Hero for use as USB Modem as well, but can not find the "HTC Remote NDIS Network Adapter" driver either. Reading on different forums it seems it used to be on the memory card shipped with the device, but I bought mine 4 days ago and the file isn't there now. HTC has probably changed policy regarding this. Can anyone point me to where I could download this file to install on my lapto using Vista.
Thank you very much.
You can download HTC sync direct from HTC's website. It contains all the necessary software and drivers, and is a later version than the one that shipped with the Hero (at least when mine was shipped anyway!).

Dave
u got it to work with the default program in htc sync??? i thought it doesnt work..i tried and i got an error
Works fine for me.

Dave
do u happen to have sprint service? im getting a username/password issue...i know its not the wrong info because i can get online fine without tethering..... im reading at many other places that sprint doesnt have it working yet??
No, mine is not a Sprint Hero. It is possible that Sprint have disable this option.
You might want to try PDAnet to see if that works with a Sprint Hero (see http://www.junefabrics.com/android/index.php )

thanks dave..yea pdanet does work, i havnt yet tried it because its a trial version and u have to pay for it...i came from windows mobile where tethering was super easy to do and the apps were plentiful.... but it seems the android market doesnt have tethering ..... i rely on tethering alot for when im traveling, i thougth the android market wouldnt be a problem with tethering apps..but it seems im wrong
The GSM Hero support tethering out of the box - therefore the issue is not Android, but more likely a restriction your carrier has imposed!
First things first though - check to see if you have "Mobile Network Sharing" in Menu->Settings->Wireless Controls.
Regards,
Dave
yes, i have the mobile network sharing... i even install the drivers for tethering fine... im getting a error 67 saying that my usrname and password for my internet is not valid.... although i can go on my internet normally via my phone only...i cannot connect a usb to it from my laptop.... right after i connect it, the internet disconnects from the phone then i get an error.... you are right about sprint blocking it.... but theyve been blocking it since windows mobile...people got around it with a simple app which came with all the hacked roms.... it seems like an issue here with the sprint android.... but maybe its still new?

Yes it is still very new. As with WinMo, you need a hacked ROM, but these aren't available yet for the Sprint Hero as it's only just been released. Once you've got a rooted ROM on your device, you should be able to use wireless wifi tether - the meantime, PDAnet is probably your best bet.

oem.inf
I would like to share my solution. I modified the oem.inf file in the oem.zip(attached) ,by changing the manufacturer name and device id as given in the PC 's device manager(unknown device).
It should work for xp,seven,vista.
The Microsoft Marketplace informally accessible on old smartphones
enjoy guy's !!!
Already using it thanks for informing..
Hi,
thanks for the upload. Unfortunately it doesn't work on my jade... it starts loading but nothing happens :-(
Is there any setting I need to change?
I just installed the new htc rom 2 weeks ago but this shouldn't be the reason why it doesn't work.
Mmmmm...that's odd....did u have an internet connection switched on 1st?
Yes,WiFi... I actually downloaded the file directly on my phone and then installed it. Also after rebooting no way, it just doesn't work :-(
same thing happens to me. I installed it but nothing will happen. Also my Wifi is turned on
I hope sbasil will read this i cant post in development section.
Ive been using this r6.0 sp3 miui rom quite some time,i must say by far the best rom 4 me yet and i have tried many. Only 2 bugs i have noticed till now. Cant choose network manualy,it automaticaly selects and when i try to set manualy or to see list of networks phone displays error. This doesnt troubled me yet,but when i go abroad manual setting is almost a must have. Second bug ive noticed when im conected to the internet via mobile data stock browser dosent detect connection. Works on wifi though. Installed many different browsers dolphin,opera.... same problem. The funny thing is that mobile firefox detects mobile connection and works with no problem. Only firefox. So when im on wifi i use stock browser,when on mobile data i use firefox. xD. Not a big deal,it doesnt matter as long as firefox works with mobile data. Weird that other browsers do not detect mobile data. I hope if u can fix or at least make patch to fix manual network selection problem. I love this rom and wouldnt change it for nothing else.
Ps. What is best governor to use for saving battery, ima have ondemand 240/800, cant get more than 24hrs on the phone,propably battery going bad, battery time is bad on every rom i tried.
btw keep up the good work,other developers too,some great stuff here.Id buy u a beer or donate some for development but i dont have paypal or any net transaction option on my computer or phone.Ima affraid of that ****. xD So a big THANKS to you 4 now
Love ya all..
I'm posting this here rather than in the thread with the rom in stickied at the top because I don't have the correct privileges. (presumably because it was moved from a developer forum)
I managed to get an Omnia Seven unbranded from Virgin (for free - long story) and have been using it with a 3 sim in.
I have never been able to use the Internet Connection Sharing feature. After a few long searches on the internet I found that other 3 users had ICS but not me and I set about trying to find out why. Eventually I realised it's becasue my device is unbranded so I then set about trying to find out how to brand it with a 3 rom. This led me to several different site of which this was one. After careful deliberation (about 5 mins :laugh: ) I decided to try an flash a 3 ROM I found onto the phone. When looking for a guide I got cold feet and decided against it until I found the 7.8 thread and it appeared that some people had already flashed this ROM so I thought why not.
Long story short - it works, it works great.
AND I now have Internet Connection Sharing. I'd give it a 10/10 for success.
Where did you get 7.8 rom for omnia 7, can you insert the link please?
I'd like a good 7.8 ROM too.
Real Internet Connection Sharing like the old Windows Mobile used to have?
umm In the thread entitled the start of the 7.8 roms.
It contains a link to...

I used that one.

I'm not sure what you mean by real? It allows me to set my phone as a wireless hotspot. I think it's actually called internet sharing rather than internet connection sharing. It's just I've been trying to get it for so long I got rather over excited.
