Hello,
This is my first post and hope it proves to be helpful!
Step-by-step guide to enable internet sharing on a untouched Samsung Focus running OFFICIAL 8107 update!
Make sure you have the following downloaded/extracted/installed before starting:
1. Zune (from http://www.zune.net/en-US/products/software/download/default.htm)
2. WPSDK.zip (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1265846)
3. Tom XAP Installer v1.2.zip (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=860964)
4. DiagProvXMLv0.91_IS.xap (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1238519)
5. SamsungTools.zip (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=924497)
6. Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (from http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=17851)
note 1: the Microsoft .NET Framework 4 is required by WPSDK
note 2: make sure Zune is able to detect your phone successfully
Steps below are done on the phone itself:
1. go to http://windowsphonehacker.com/windowbreak
2. tap WindowBreak Me then windowbreak.xml
3. tap back capacitive button at the bottom
4. tap dailer then type ##634# then *#9908#
5. select windowbreak then tap save
6. soft reset the phone
Steps below are done on the pc:
note 1: make sure Zune is running
note 2: make sure phone is connected to PC, is not PIN locked and on the main home screen
7. run Tom XAP Installer v1.2 then click Add XAP files
8. select DiagProvXMLv0.91_IS.xap then click install
9. select SamsungTools.xap then click install
Steps below are done on the phone itself:
10. tap DiagProvXML then swipe left
11. hold down on internet sharing then tap execute then ok
12. tap back capacitive button at the bottom
13. tap Samsung Tools then Apply Changes then ok then ok
Done!
Once phone resets, the internet sharing option will be in the settings menu between bluetooth and email+accounts
MANY THANKS TO THOSE WHO CREATED THESE TOOLS TO MAKE THIS POSSIBLE!

Nice job of putting it all together, nice and clear. All these steps are out there, but all over the place. You brought them together well.

I wouldn't bet money on that Actually, all steps are in several places across the forum, for example in my guide here (after Interop unlock).
But it's good that people show interest, so your guide is welcome.
@SuperSport
Thanks a lot, I appreciate it. That was exactly my intent!
@EnderPsp
My aim was to create a very simple step-by-step guide for those who have a Samsung Focus updated officially (using Zune) to 8107 and are looking to enable the internet sharing option.
I actually came across your guide while searching for what I was trying to do and with all due respect, it wasn't exactly the noob friendly guide that I personally found it out to be, as it entailed a lot more steps than what's truely required to achieve what my goal was with all other options available now (ex. The WindowBreak Project).

Chill out mate, I appreciate your post. When I build the newbie guide, there was no WindowBreak project so that was the only way to have Mango unlocked. In the meantime, things changed and WindowBreak makes it simpler. And I did specify so in the opening (post #36)
I will also add a reference to your guide here, so it's easier for noobs to follow.
@EnderPsp
No worries!
I figured when you wrote yours, things weren't as simpler as they are now so yours definitely has more research put behind it -- and I appreciate you adding a reference to mine! =)
Thank you very much !
Thanks for sharing this guide. I bought my first Windows phone, the Focus, yesterday and this is a fast track way for me to be able to do all the wonderful things Microsoft or AT&T doesn't want me to do. (Same thing I did on my Android and Apple devices)
Not updated to 8107
My OS version and Firmware revision number don't match yours. I have the following:
OS version: 7.10.7720.68
Firmware revision number: 2103.11.8.1
Hardware revision number: 3.1.0.7
Radio software version: 2103.11.8.1
Radio hardware version: 0.0.0.3
Bootloader version: 5.8.0.2
Chip SOC version: 0.36.2.0
I have the same config as the previous poster and followed the steps and it worked. When I try to update in Zune it says I'm already up to date, but went ahead with the rest of the steps anyway.
A couple of notes
1) Had to reboot after installing Zune, otherwise would not detect phone.
2) The WinSDK installer requires Net 4.0 framework. It would error out on me till I installed that.
3) Had to install each XAP one at a time; the instructions seem to indicate you can select and install both.
4) Phone reboots at end.
I assume this will NOT survive a hard reset (vol down+camera+power)?

No, it won't. You will have latest OS version but the developer unlock will be lost. If you don't have the KK2 Samsung update, then you can safely re-use this guide to unlock again
@uwbadgers16
It looks like you're running a previous (7720) version to what the latest released is (8107). You can still follow this guide to get the internet sharing option enabled though.
@pitflyer
Thanks for the notes! I've updated the original guide to reflect that.
Excellent guide. Thanks.
Do these instructions apply to the original Focus ?

Since you folks on this forum are much more knowledgable about such matters though I would ask.

I currently have it working on my Focus v 1.3. AT&T tech support does not know or talk about anything not on their cheat sheets.
Hello
Can any1 tell the harmful effect of radiation coming out from windows phone samsung focus after enabling the INTERNET SHARING OPTION? If there is no harmful effect then why these OEM does not provide all the option with phone..?

Now that is an interesting theory... hehehe
Actually, they didn't enable it because they want to be sure they are able to charge for the service before it's enabled.

Has anyone noticed any differences in the official Mango release? I know the changes probably are minimal, but any extra options, performance increases or bug fixes? I will report back when i get mine updated.
So far on AT&T Focus:
- Hidden SSID
- Tap Focus (the camera will focus on the place you tap)
- Compass !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (at last)
- the Firmware and Radio Software version changed from 2103.11.3.3 to 2103.11.8.1
- the bootloaderverdion changed from 5.3.1.6 to 5.8.0.2
Can you please list the versions for all the updates you have under Settings - About - More?
I had Mango Beta 2 (not RTM) and received a set of auto updates. One to 7720, one "Cleanup" package and now one Samsung Update and want to make sure that I am now on the official Mango build and that I don't need to downgrade to get the official one.
Here's what I see on my phone after updating to Mango using info posted today on WPCentral.com
OS:7.10.7720.68
Firmware: 2103.11.8.1
Hardware: 3.1.0.7
Radio: 2103.11.8.1
Radio Hardware: 0.0.0.3
Boot-loader : 5.8.0.2
Chip SOC : 0.36.2.0
Can anyone confirm the same versions after updated to Mango without doing any forcing?

I didn't do any forcing of the update and I have the same software/firmware versions as your device.
BTW: MS said months ago that current generation phones would be version 7.1 and 2nd generation phones would be labled as 7.5 - guess it has to do with the additional hardware.
I guess I had better upgrade....

If Zune isn't showing that you have an update available, go to the Windows Phone Hacker site and they have an easy way to force the update to the at&t build of Windows "Mango"

****, man, that's pretty bad news for me
I knew I should wait for the official update. I am not even sure now what creature I have on the phone.
I guess it's not the branded AT&T version?
What does the 7.5 has compared to 7.1 ?
What versions do you see on 'about'? Please post them.

NOTHING SUCKS! The Zune update will work on just about any version of OS you are running.
7.1 is on first gen devices and 7.5 is on second gen devices - adds support for front facing camera, etc.
As to what version of software am I now running? Just look at the above posts, the answer is there.
Just connect to Zune on your PC and go from there.

We all have the same (latest) version of software.

i'm pretty sure the gen2 devices will still be using 7.1 as the build number, under the OS version above it says windows phone 7.5 on my focus even though the specifc build is still 7.10.7720.68

So true, I stand corrected.
I was running one of the Beta builds and not the RTM, but I did notice one difference right off the bat. For linked contacts pinned to the home screen; the displayed name changed. It previously used the name I set but when I updated it changed and choose the name from the linked contact with the most info.
For example, I have my wife pinned to my home screen. Her contact card consists of 3 linked contacts. I don't really need it to display her last name so I just had it set up to show her first name (by leaving the last name field blank on the primary contact). In Mango RTM, it went in and pulled the name details from one of the other linked contacts since it had more info (it ad the first and last name filled in) and proceeded to use that name as the display name on the tile.
I updated today from pre-release mango to final mango and got the clean-up update, but I did NOT get the samsung update. Im still on:
radio software: 2103.10.10.1 and bootloader 4.10.0.1
anyone have an idea how to get the samsung updates?
Thanks to everyone for confirming the build numbers. On my Focus (rev 1.3), I have the same as posted here. Good to know that I don't have to roll-back after all!

I was part of the mango pre-release test thing-a-ma-hooty (woot first time i have ever typed something like that) anyway the music will freeze at the end of a song, and if i try to pause / goto the next song the entire phone will lock up.

You are missing the HTC update. If your zune software tells you that you are up to date than unfortunately you must do a reset on your phone and then it will catch and upgrade.
If anyone knows how to get that HTC update without having to reset the phone, please post how.
i had this happen a few times after mango, with podcasts though, i just removed them and re synched them and it stopped.
The Bootloader is slightly different, 1.3.2259.7(111288)
vs. 1.3.2250.7(111288) Original OS release, but your Firmware is the original version released with the phone. So you are missing both the NoDo and Mango Firmware upgrades.
Based on your profile, you are on AT&T and located in the US, but I have to ask, is the phone carrier unlocked. Or did you do that unbranding trick back with NoDo and lose visibility as an AT&T device. Strange that you are missing all firmware updates pushed out by AT&T.
I would definitely suggest a hard reset and hopefully your phone will get updated through Zune. HTC made a bunch of subtle, but important improvements to the phone, involving alarms, music doing quirky things when you plug anything in to the headphone jack, etc. You want the firmware updates for sure.
Sorry for the late response but i did carrier unlock because of at&t's slow update process. also hard resetting did cause the phone to see the update and it did help the music problem for about a day. Anyway is there any 7008 roms available for the surround that is still at&t branded (also tested to make sure their working as I don't know how brickable this phone is)? Also if I was able to go back to 7008 should I do the chevron unlock or should I try to get my dev unlock even though I forgot to fill out geotrusts forms, do you think they would still have mine open after 7+ months?

Anyone know what this update did? I can't find any changes, except that it changed theme to Lime... And as always Samsung did not provide any change log.
May I ask where you have it from? I'm having massive connection issues since I updated to FW 2424.11.9.2 (the last one delivered by MS).
I received the update the regular way. Notified on the phone that an update was available, then updated with Zune.
Where are you located? Thanks.

Same here. Wi-fi appears as connected to my network but can't receive/send data. Turning wi-fi off and on again appears to solve it temporarily.
I'm waiting for new firmware update...
I'm in Sweden. 3 branded phone, SIM unlocked and on Telenor network.
I was updated from FW 2424.11.9.2, where I experienced some connection troubles. I used to solve them with reboot... Have not seen anything about that today, but it's just been one day yet so...

if your surfing on Wifi and pages don't load/take ages to load etc, turn off Mobile network data. When you re-enable it, you will have to restart the phone, otherwise you will have the internet issues on mobile network lol

I'm also interested.
Yesterday I've changed mine from 000-88 (no carrier) to SFR-FR and was able to update to 2424.11.9.3, but it didn't change anything.
I'm just about to revert back to my latest backup (11.9.2).
Hi,
HKLM\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\MobileOperator="SE3-SE"
I'm sad to say that I just had the same connection trouble on WiFi. Toggle WiFi solved, just as earlier.
So, it seems that this FW does not solve the connection issue. Wish Samsung provided a changelog, so we knew what to expect.
Sent from my OMNIA7 using Board Express
bummer!
I tried to update with "SE3-SE" as carrier. Zune tells me there is an update, it downloads, the phone restarts, it tries to install but reboots after a few seconds with an "error code 8018001e". After some research here on xda it seems that my phone not having swedish installed might be the problem. Also tried adding swedish to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\MUI\Available] but it didn't do the trick.
Since you seem to still have connection problems with .11.10.1, I think I won't further bother..

Version number of the equipment: 3.15.0.4

Hardware version of radio: 0.0.0.800
Version of the bootloader: 5.11.1.8
SOC version: 0.36.2.0
I would like activated over the internet connection sharing.
I counted a developer and my phone is in interop-unlock.
So I followed this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1334248
I have read the 8107 version but I'm stuck at step 4:
"4.) After the app starts Diagnosis type * # 9908 # and select 'System Tweaks' press 'Save' then 'Close' and RESTART your phone"
Indeed, I do not see "System Tweaks" in the list.
Can you help me?
Thank you in advance and good day

Hello and thank you for your response.
Actually, I've updated the firmware on my phone after updating 8107.
I'm willing to do a flashback, but is it going to delete my data? (SMS, backup games, setting ...)
Thanking you in advance.
Good day

Basically, I want nothing to lose ... not recover the contained since my last backup.
Thank you very much and good day to you
Hi everyone.
I want to ask this because I didn't find any clear and direct answer to this question (in the awfully long threads about this topic).
I don't own an Optimus 7 directly, I am talking about my girlfriend's phone.
Long ago I heard about the possibility of enabling Internet Sharing on LG E900 Optimus 7.
I already know that a particular driver or firmware update is required for it.
Today I managed to update the phone to Tango using Zune. Still I don't receive any LG firmware upgrade ...
These are the firmware numbers I read :
OS Version 7.10.8773.98
Firmware 1.1.2.10
Hardware 1.0.0.0
Radio 1.1.2.10
Hardware radio 0.3.5.0
Bootloader 1.5.1.0
My girlfriend wants Internet Sharing but she won't let me reset her phone. She doesn't want to lose any message or app or photo or video or information she stored so far.
So the question is :
is there ANY WAY to flash the driver, to flash the firmware, to flash what's needed into this phone to enable internet sharing without losing any data ?
I already enabled the Internet Sharing option using registry editor, but the driver is still missing. "There is a problem with the current settings" message appears when I try to enable it.
any dev could help me ? I wonder if the cab sender isn't enough to send this driver to the phone.
can somebody give me a clear answer except for "you must reset the phone" ?
Currently I am downloading the firmware 'LG-E900AT-00-V10g-222-10-SEP-29-2010+0_DZ'
Can I flash it without losing all the informations on the phone ? (the real question is : the firmware will reset the ROM too ?)
Waiting for your answer.
Have a nice day.

Good to you that you made update on 8773 on OPN firmware, but my opinion reason why you be luck to update on 8773 is because you do not have OPN firmware that bring Internet Sharing.
My Story:
Couple months ago, Zune SW pop-up with notification for new update, at the end my phone was able to act as access point.
To be able to do that on your phone, you will need 1.1.9.10, in between there two other firmware 1.1.4.10 & 1.1.6.10.
I am suspect that reason why I cannot update on 8112 and 8773 is this firmware.
Please if someone with 1.1.9.10 OPN firmware has same problem, please describe here.
Currently my firmware is LG-E900_V11i_Final-jan-27-2012-2250-7720, as I can see this firmware does not exist under stock ROM for Optimus 7. In any case bring ICS to LG Optimus 7.
Cheers.

Can you send me the cab updates for these firmware ?
And the most important question is :
what happens if I send the wrong cab to the phone ?
superbump !
hey
that is the reason of silly support for LG E900, no custom roms etc.
Because Users don't know what they have in own phones.
There is internet sharing since mango.
Serach in setting: internet acces!

You didn't really read all my topic, didn't you ??
What are you saying is wrong.
Tango didn't bring the internet sharing.
A firmware update that was not received by everyone bringed it.
The firmware update changes accordingly to the brand of the phone.
I forced the 'Internet Sharing' option to show up by using WinTT.
When I try to enable it as I already said a "There is a problem with the current settings" message appears.
The real question is still this :
I bought my Optimus 7 in France, and I discovered later that it was 'OPN' branded. I used it with Vodafone since the beginning. PHERAPS this is the reason I didn't get the firmware update.
So what happens if I try to manually flash the cab 'LG Optimus 7/E900 - OPN NEU branded 1.1.6.10 - November 7th 2011' over :
OS Version 7.10.8773.98
Firmware 1.1.2.10
Hardware 1.0.0.0
Radio 1.1.2.10
Hardware radio 0.3.5.0
Bootloader 1.5.1.0
???
Hey,
Same history for me but my Firmaware and Radio are different.
OS Version 7.10.8773.98
Firmware 1.0.4.10
Hardware 1.0.0.0
Radio 1.0.4.10
Hardware radio 0.3.5.0
Bootloader 1.5.1.0
Thanks and sorry for my english!
for what its worth, I know the german vodaphone branded rom has it, and its works great, for me its been enabled since i've had the device.
