Mango USB Tethering - Confirmed Working

While this version of mango might not have the ICS, I just confirmed that the following method works to get USB tethering with Mango.

The following works for Windows 7 x64 (Using either the HTC Drivers or the Qualcomm drivers). All my machines are x64 so I am not sure if this works for x86 systems.

Tether:

Download the HTC Drivers from the bottom of this post[/url]
Or try the Qualcomm drivers attached to this thread if those don't work.
Extract the zip
The XAP dosent work with the DVP so ignore it for now.
Open the phone dialer.
Dial ##634# (Engineering Mode)
If you do not see a wine glass when booting, you need to remove the old EM app and then dial
Slide open your keyboard
Tap the black area of your screen
Press QWERTYUIOP
Scroll down to service center
Click on Composite
Type in *#301#
Wait for your phone to reboot
Install the drivers for the phone with the files in the zip. You do not need to edit these INF files.
Note that you have to right click the unknown device, update drivers, browser, let me pick, all, I have disc, and then browse to where you extracted your drivers
In the device manager (you should be there already) right click on the first HTC USB modem and go to properties
Then go to advanced and enter +CGDCONT=1,"IP","EPN.TMOBILE.COM" into the Extra initialization commands box (Note that these settings are for t-mobile. If you do not use t-mobile please download and find your connection info at http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=21421101. Replace epn.tmobile.com with your carriers connection info.
Click ok
In your task tray, right click on the network icon and go to network and sharing center
click on Set up a new connection or network
Setup dial-up
HTC USB Modem (Or Qualcomm Usb Modem)
In the phone number field type *99#
Click connect
Have fun

Untether
If you want to untether, follow steps 6-11 and click on Zune to bring your phone back into normal operating mode

Notes
You will notice that there are 4 drivers. Two of them are USB (should be the first two) and the other two should be the diagnostic drivers (COM Ports). The diagnostic drivers currently do nothings so you really dont need to install them.

If you are installing the Qualcomm drivers, make sure you select the Qualcomm HS-USB Modem 9202 and not the Qualcomm HS-USB Ethernet Adapter 9202 driver
Thank me if this works for you

thanks for this, trying right now. At step #13 when you enter in the Composite Mode password, I see no OK button or any way to apply the password. Slide out keyboard Enter button does nothing. How is this done so that the reboot will happen?

Woops it is *#301#

thanks. I'm running Win7 32bit and the extracted drivers don't work for steps 15 and 16. Also, when in Composite Mode there are 4 "unknown device" listings in Device Manager. I tried updating the driver for each of these with the USBModeSwitch x86 driver and it didn't work.

any ideas?

Not sure. Yes there are 4 devices: 2 serial devices and 2 modems.

Try to see if the x86 drivers were modified correctly.

Or check out this:

are you running a 64 or 32bit OS? Still unable to get mine to work on my Win7 32bit laptop.

Works perfectly for me on Windows 7 Ultimate x64, I had to add the modem to all the unidentified drivers and then setup a connection on each one to see which one was the right one to use. If you are only setting up the connection on one of the drivers then you may be picking the wrong one.
