USB & BT Tethering working for VZW XV6800 without additional software or $15/mo plan

I started a new thread because the VZW XV6800 does NOT use ICS as the other phones do.

I just got my 6800 to tether using the built in Modem Link app over USB with my Vista laptop without paying the $15/mo charge. Here's what I did:

1. Make the following registry changes:

HKLM\Software\OEM\WMODEM

add DWORD "CheckProfile"=0
set DWORD "Multi-NAI"=0
set DWORD "WModemDUN"=0

2. Start Modem Link (Open then select "Start" from the menu) with data disconnected and USB unplugged.

3. Connect USB. Windows will automatically download and install the appropriate drivers (you may have to click through some UAC prompts first to confirm).

4. Set up a new dialup connection using HTC USB Modem. Number is #777, user name is your phone number, and password is "vzw" without the quotes.

Now we just have to figure out how to get tethering over bluetooth to work. Any ideas?

EDIT:

If you wish to use Bluetooth tethering instead of USB, install the BT DUN CAB posted later in the thread and re-pair. Then perform the regedits listed above and set up a bluetooth dialup connection. You do NOT need Modem Link.

Have you received a bill from VZ yet that confirms they aren't charging you?

I currently pay the 15 dollar a month extra because PDANet is so flaky. It will constantly drop my data every few seconds.

I will jump on this in a heartbeat if they won't charge me the extra 15 a month (which is ridiculous imo)

I am not using the VZAccess Manager software or Verizon's drivers. I am simply connecting the phone to my computer after I have opened and started Modem Link and letting windows search for, download, and install drivers, then setting up a DUN connection like I used to have to do for WModem on the 6700 and 6800.

Not quite. The Mogul has the ICS app. Verizon crippled the XV6800 and replaced ICS with their own Modem Link app. The regedits are the same though.

I posted the link for the people who can't get the drivers to auto-download. Also for the people who want to stay legal - there are a few out there

Here are the drivers I am using on Vista. When you plug in the device you'll see 2 new items in device manager. The first is HTC USB Modem (under 'Modems'), which uses modem.sys and HtcUsbMdmV32.sys. The other device is HTC Diagnostic Interface (Under 'Ports - LPT & COM').
