Disclaimer:

I got most of this from wmpoweruser.com, see the original article here. Thanks a lot to Kuo who figured this out!

The only addition for me was figuring out the initialization command as the one that was originally mentioned didn't work for me on TMobile USA.

Instructions:

1)

Download HTC Sync for Android from HTC for USB Modem driver for 32bit Windows from HTC’s site (the whole package) or for 64bit systems just the driver here.

I just used the driver (second link) on my Windows 7 x64 and bbowman confirmed the full package from HTC's site working for x86.

2)

Unpack the driver and edit both HtcUsbMdmV64.inf and HtcVComV64.inf. Replace the HTC device IDs with VID_05c6&PID_3199. Leave the &MI_00.

3)

Start the EM diagnostic app on your Dell Venue Pro (##634#), and go to Service Center. Switch to composite mode – password is *#301#

4)

After rebooting the phone, open device manager. Select the first unknown device (USB\VID_05C6&PID_3199&REV_0000&MI_00). Select update driver and point to the root of the two folders (it looks like it’s using HtcUsbMdmV64).

5)

Connect device to PC, open "HTC USB Modem" in Device Manager and select "Advance" section and under "Extra Initialization Command" add the following:

at+cgdcont=1,"IP","epc.tmobile.com"

6)

Create a new dial-up connection with HTC USB Modem, dial-up phone number is *99# .Just connect without user name and password.

Hope that helps, the above procedure worked fine for me :-)

Any others confirm if this works??
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
Cant download the driver as the site is in chinese.
[Venue Pro General] bbowman:
I was able to download the chinese driver no problem (just click on the American flag on the top-right so the language is switched). I got through step 3 in your instructions but step 4 didn't work. I connected my DVP to my Win7 laptop and the device manager showed 4 unknown devices, none of which stated USB\VID_05C6&PID_3199&REV_0000&MI_00 in the description. I tried applying the driver to each of the 4 unknown devices and none of them worked.

Perhaps you could be more specific in how those .inf file should be edited? The info I edited were under the setting [Models.NTamd64] in both files because that was the only heading which contained the "&MI-00" that you said to leave alone.

Here is the original info under the Models.NTamd64 section in the HtcUsbMdmV64.inf file:

[Models.NTamd64]

%OEM00% = Modem0, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0EFC&MI_00

%OEM01% = Modem0, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0EFF

Here is what I changed it to:

%OEM00% = Modem0, USB\VID_05c6&PID_3199&MI_00

%OEM01% = Modem0, USB\VID_05c6&PID_3199

Here's the original info under the Models.NTamd64 section in the HtcVComV64.inf file:

[Models.NTamd64]

%OEMDevice00% = OEMPort00, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0EFE

%OEMDevice01% = OEMPort00, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0E01&MI_00

%OEMDevice02% = OEMPort00, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0E02&MI_00

Here's what I changed it to:

%OEMDevice00% = OEMPort00, USB\VID_05c6&PID_3199

%OEMDevice01% = OEMPort00, USB\VID_05c6&PID_3199&MI_00

%OEMDevice02% = OEMPort00, USB\VID_05c6&PID_3199&MI_00

is this correct?
[Venue Pro General] Thraka:
Will TMobile detect this and charge you extra for tethering??
[Venue Pro General] kltye:
Double click the device, then go to the Details tab. The dropdown menu should indicate "Hardware Ids" - take a look at the first value returned.

And yes, that's how the INF should be edited.
[Venue Pro General] bbowman:
now i only have two unknown devices and the Hardware ID values are:

USB\VID_045E&PID_04EC&REV_0000&MI_00

and

USB\VID_045E&PID_04EC&REV_0000&MI_01

neither one of these can be updated to the HTD driver with the modified .inf files.
[Venue Pro General] kltye:
That's fine - those aren't Qualcomm devices (sounds like some other Microsoft hardware you have on your PC). Under Modems, you should see HTC USB Modem. Open the Properties of that, go to Diagnostics, then Query Modem. If you see results, then you're good to go.
[Venue Pro General] xthing:
So it went from 4 to 2 unknown devices? That actually sounds like the drivers were installed :-)

Do you have now a HTC USB Modem device under "Modems" in Device Manager when you connect the phone via USB to the PC?
[Venue Pro General] bbowman:
i hoped you were right but no HTC USB Modem listed under Modems.
[Venue Pro General] notebookgrail:
It will list only when your device is connected in Composite Mode. Hope you already did that.
[Venue Pro General] bbowman:
yes I'm in Composite Mode. for kicks I went back to Zune mode then back to Composite mode again and now I'm back to the 4 Unknown Devices when I connect the DVP to the laptop, the first of which now shows the correct Hardware ID value shown in the original post. Still can't update it to the modified HTC driver though :|
[Venue Pro General] kltye:
Would you mind detailing the exact steps you did you update the driver? Since modifying the INF breaks the driver signature, you might have to jump through some hoops to get it working.
[Venue Pro General] bbowman:
I did this in post #4 http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10912890&postcount=4

is there any other info you are looking for?
[Venue Pro General] kltye:
Yeah, I was looking for how you actually updated the drivers...

Double click the first unknown device, hit Update Driver... Then "Browse my computer for driver software". Point the search path to the root of the two folders, and check "Include subfolders". Hit next. A warning will come up saying Windows can't verify the driver signature, blah blah. Hit "Install anyway". After that you'll be good to go, hopefully.
[Venue Pro General] bbowman:
oh right. yes i did it using that exact same procedure (i even tried pointing to each of the subfolders) and each time it said it couldn't find a driver for the device. i'll try starting from scratch again, maybe i typo'd somewhere

EDIT: started from the beginning again, still no go. hopefully someone might be able to determine what i did wrong.
[Venue Pro General] xthing:
Can you try uninstalling all HTC drivers from your PC and try the procedure again and use the driver attached (it's my modified package i used during install).
[Venue Pro General] bbowman:
thanks for posting your copy of the driver. unfortunately it didn't work either. I tried again on a second spare Win7 laptop and had the same results.

are you able to tether successfully? what version of Windows are you running?
[Venue Pro General] kltye:
I'm wondering if these are 64-bit drivers only - I'm running Win7 x64.
[Venue Pro General] bbowman:
based upon the names of the .inf files i'd say there's a good chance
[Venue Pro General] kltye:
Are you using an x86 version of Windows?
[Venue Pro General] bbowman:
yes. unfortunately i don't have a 64bit version nearby to test
[Venue Pro General] xthing:
For the x86 version try the full package from the HTC site:

http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=1073&news_id=856
[Venue Pro General] kltye:
I'm about 99% sure that that's the issue. If you (or anyone) comes across the 32-bit version of these drivers, you can mod and install them the same way.
[Venue Pro General] bbowman:
the driver from the full package is 32bit and the driver upgrade worked. i'm now tethered and the Speakeasy.net speed test says I have a 696kbps down, 908kbps up connection. not great but definitely better than nothing. awesome!
[Venue Pro General] bbowman:
here is the functioning 32bit version of the driver with the modified .inf files
[Venue Pro General] xthing:
i updated the initial post to clarify which package to use for x86 and x64.
[Venue Pro General] Wonderstruck80:
Thanks guys for figuring this out... I have confirmed this is working with these results:
[Venue Pro General] kltye:
I'm glad to see that our DVPs are no slouches when it comes to HSPA+ networks :)
[Venue Pro General] Wonderstruck80:
FML so just to make sure it worked, i disconnected and attempted to reconnect and now receiving:

Error 633: The modem (or other connecting device) is already in use or is not configured properly.

Competely uninstalled reboot and reinstalled driver.. Works fine now...
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
Just tried this in preparation for an upcoming trip and it works fine. Thanks to the OP and others.
[Venue Pro General] MJCS:
Just remember not to go overboard with the data.
[Venue Pro General] trimark:
Worked for me too, thanks so much everyone that worked this out.

Frankly I fin the lock that carriers have on phones, and phone software is really alarming here in the US. My prior phone was a Blackberry Torch with their Mobile Voice Solution... is VOIP. It wouldn't connect over wifi because I'm told the deal with AT&T was GSM only... so you were at least paying them for and it was included in your data package... sigh.

Thanks folks, my Dell Venue Pro with Windows Phone 7, we have liftoff...
[Venue Pro General] ZappiestOyster:
Works. Confirmed on Windows 7 64 bit.
[Venue Pro General] Monkyyy:
I am trying to get tethering to work but keep getting a 692 error. I live in Australia and my provider is Virgin (using Optus network). The drivers are installing correctly and I've entered the initialization commands and tried disabling ipv6.

Edit: Mysteriously works after the nth time reinstalling the drivers... Not that I'm complaining.
[Venue Pro General] jgross433:
Thank You!
[Venue Pro General] foresterLV:
I was getting 6xx error until I disabled data connection in the phone. I.e. Settings->Mobile Network->Data connection = OFF. It seems that PC and the phone cannot have data connection at the same time.
[Venue Pro General] slight22:
Only get three options

Got the DVP 2 days ago and this morning after I got the phone on mobilicity (unlimited data!!) I had to use the ##634# command but all i get (besides a dog picture) are three options.

Phone Information

System information

MMS Settings

Unfortunately I don't have anything else or a "composite" settings to access. Did I miss something or is my version of the DVP unable to do this and or eventually tether?
[Venue Pro General] notebookgrail:

How do you do this for AT&T?
[Venue Pro General] DGxser:
First off, thank you for all the great info in this thread!! It has helped me tremendously in getting my Dell Venue Pro set up to teather to my laptop.

I have a Dell Venue Pro, and am using a Gaterway Tablet. Ialso use Cincinnati Bell Wireless as my cell phone carrier.

I worked through the setup using the drivers and edits here, got the "modem" installed, and the dial-up connection setup.

When I try to connect, I get a pop-up saying it is "registering my computer on the network" and then an "error 619: a connection to the remote computer could not be established. so the port used for this connection was closed"

Any suggestions on how to overcome what is hopefully the last hurdle in this effort? Thanks for your help!!
[Venue Pro General] Zurvv:
tethering is offically in mango... the carrier has to turn it on or something.

http://www.windows7news.com/2011/08/25/windows-phone-mango-supports-tethering/
[Venue Pro General] macjr82:
Still any word on this on AT&T?
[Venue Pro General] Naterade:
Ok, so I was running into the exact same "error: 619" problem, I read the original post on the other site, and it seems no one mentioned here that you need to turn off the data connection on your phone. It sounds weird but it worked for me as soon as I did that.

On the DVP, go to Settings->Cellular->Data Connection = Turn it off.

I left 3G connection ON.

After I did that everything worked correctly. Thanks everyone for the info though this is still an extremely helpful thread!
[Venue Pro General] JimboJones35:
Tethering Dell Venue Pro Window Phone 7 on AT&T

First see this thread to get phone into composite mode – password is still *#301#

"Folks, the hidden menu under the Dell EM app has been cracked open. Here is how to get to it. Its still stupid of Dell to have a convoluted way to get get to it.

1. GO to EM app on your DVP (dial ##634# - if u haven't done so to make the app appear under apps)

2. Open physical keypad

3. Double tap the blank dark area of the screen (below the MMS settings)

4. On the physical keyboard, press each of the first row buttons (qwertyuiop)

5. This should open up the advanced menu."

Then-

instead of using [at+cgdcont=1,"IP","epc.tmobile.com"] in the extra initialization command use [at+cgdcont=1,"IP","wap.cingular"]

Also make sure to use previous reply's directions to turn off data connection.

Everything else is the same.
[Venue Pro General] macjr82:
Much appreciated
[Venue Pro General] stanip:
Is this full USB or just partial?

Just want to check if this is full USB functionality including read/write of MS Office files? Or just video/audio files...
[Venue Pro General] Technosquid:
Just so you guys know -- I updated my DVP with tango cabs posted on this forum, and now there is no longer a separate slider for "data connection" and "3g connection." This effectively breaks the wired tethering functionality. Unless I'm missing something. I was able to get it to work on Mango 7720, but not on Tango 8773.
[Venue Pro General] yohanip:
This trick opens the drawer to the service center of my DVP :)
[Venue Pro General] KnightmareCS:
I think you missed something.

Settings>Cellular>Data connection>Off

I do not have the letters "3G" in the top bar, just the signal bars.

I just updated to 8773 and my option is just like the above. Hell, I'm posting by tethering right now!

Speeds:

3.22 Mbps down / 1.22 Mbps up

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djfoo000:
LOLL fastboot in development terms is a function to do stuff directly from the computer.

The speedy boot-up is a Sense-exclusive feature. I doubt it's called 'fastboot'.

Yep i knew fastboot was to work from the computer, but is there such a thing fom cm roms.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianmcquinn:
As was stated before, fastboot is actually a protocol for flashing images to your phone without a full OS load.

With HTC Sense, they support a hibernation-type feature the many refer to as "fast boot" (note the space). There were tons of articles/videos a while ago showing that the CM team had ported the hibernation functionality and would include it in CM6.1 final, though this obviously didn't happen. I didn't keep up with it though, since it wasn't a feature I would ever use...

Maybe someone else knows why the changes were not committed though.

Ok i searched thru the search and havent found my answer. I set up gmail calander and inside it set up some events to follow, like Us Holidays and sport teams calanders. It set up nicely on my laptop, but when i sync on my phone, they show up in the list of connected calanders but are now in the actual calander. Am i doing something wrong?, like looking at the samsung calander and not the Gmail calander. I am on Froyo Dk28 rooted aswell. HELP!!
[Epic 4G General] decalex:
I didn't fully catch your question, but If I understand correctly:

have you tried going to the regular calendar?: open app drawer, select Calendar. Then Menu, Settings, Calendars

Here you can check or uncheck the calendars you want to show; the list should include all of your calendars, including "other" calendars you added through GCal. After you do that, hit the back button, go to Calendar Sync and make sure the calendar is checked to sync (if you want that). I'm pretty sure most of the other 3rd party calendar apps either use the same method or pull from these settings.
[Epic 4G General] fastmikey1969:
If it's not showing up in the list, uncheck the Calendar Sync from your google account. Then goto Settings->Applications and clear application data for "Calendar Storage" (not "Calendar"). Then recheck the calendar Sync to resync, that should work.
[Epic 4G General] urirx98:

[Epic 4G General] adamjt:
Before I upgraded, I forgot to save the phone calendar since it doesn't sync to google. I used MyBackup Root before I upgraded to save the all calendars. So, I restored the calendar in MyBackup Root and it took all my events from all the calendars it backed up and smushed them into the main calendar. I didn't catch it before it synced to google and it made a mess. I exported the calendar to try to fix it and deleted the calendar to find that the export is corrupted...DOH!!!

Anyone else have a way to solve this issue with MyBackup and putting all calendars into one?
