Yes,i saw the Internet sharing through Wifi ,i want to share it through an USB connection.
 
Sorry about that. Looks like you have to hack it to get what you want. Have you seen this video?

 
Is there any chance of ruining the phone ? Should I get it done by somebody else ?
 
There's always a chance of messing up the phone when you start modifying the factory settings. The more that I look at that video, the less I like the instructions. It looks like he's downloading software from someplace which I wouldn't do. I did some searches on a Windows Phone forum and the instructions that I've seen look similar but a little different.
