USB Tether - EVO 4G General

Has anyone gotten their USB Tethering to work? Every time it try to use it, it keeps telling me the driver was not installed properly. I've tried to google for the driver, but come up empty handed
Thanks for your help!

Make sure you install the HTC Sync software that is included on the Evo's SD Card. It should work after that.

Doke! I deleted it when I formatted my sd card. Aye. Would you have a copy of it? Thanks

Go to HTC website and search for HTC Sync. The latest version should be 2.0.33.

USB mount

When i try to mount my sd card to my laptop it just doesn't stay mounted. Right after i tap mount it dismounts. I had this issue on ALL 1.5 builds. When i connect to any other computer it works perfectly. Any ideas? i tried deleting the drivers and re-installing them several times that doesn't work. I think it maybe an error with my registry or maybe some software i have on here blocking it idk. This GeekSquad agent is officially confused
Registry? What is this nonsense? Are you registered as an offender and the court has mind control software installed on your computer? Best to wipe the thing clean and install Linux, then everything will work.
thats way to much of a hassle dont you think?
reinstaling the computer os to mount a phone? noo
there has to be a better way
but if ur meaning to do a fresh install of everything then formating and starting over will work
but whats prob the problem is that your drivers are conflicting with each other
i wish i could help but try to do a fresh wipe of your phone and see if u can install the drivers on your own...again
dumb question, but this isn't as well known as it probably should be. Does the laptop have usb 2.0 or usb 1.1/1.0? And if it has power saving options, see if it maybe toggles to the slower usb when that's on. I have an issue with usb 2.0 on my motherboard (something's corrupted/broken) and can't use windows with it active, so I can only use usb1.0...and the sd card starts to mount but then errors out.
Hope this helps, that's the only issue I've had and it's only happened on my home desktop, works fine on my wifes pc and my work pc.
the usb port only slows down when its not in use after a certain time
the bios is set up like that
but if ur usb is constantly slowing down you should either update your bios or update your system all together and change some advanced settings to keep the usb running all the time
I had the same issue after upgrading to 1.5 w/ apps2sd. I ended up having to upgrade the driver. Windows will tell you that your using the best driver but you will need the one that you would use for fastboot etc. BTW you can always just use your sd adapter and see if windows can read it that way and if it does your good to go. Also did you recently partition or format the card and how old is it?

Yea the sd card is perfect just bought a pny 8gb sd card $20 , but i have tried upgrading the driver to the fastboot drivers that doesn't help, i installed a clean version of windows on a separate HD and it works fine, so i know it's a software/driver issue on my end
btw all my usb ports are 2.0 guess I'll just use my sd card reader in the mean time hopefully new releases fixes this issue

is HTC Sync needed to root Aria?

I could swear I read message(s) that said HTC Sync is from the devil and that if installed it must be removed...and now I see message that states explicitly that HTC Sync should be downloaded and installed
Which is it?
I installed it and then uninstalled it after rooting. Have you tried the adb commands after installing Android SDK to see if it recognizes your device? If that doesnt work then you might need to install the HTC sync for the drivers, you can always uninstall it afterwards after youre successfully rooted to proceed.
./adb devices sees it just fine once usb is detected
just can't get the device to show when pressing power from HDBOOT and RECOVERY
tried both linux kubuntu and xp pro
My issue with that, and with htc sync installed, was with my sd card. I tried a different 2gb sd card and formatted it with my pc using an external reader, then I put the sd card back into the device, tried again and it recognized it. I had to reformat the sd card externally a few times when trying.
I am really confused by all this droid stuff. I was just getting the hang of win mobile 6.1 when my tilt went on full tilt and crapped out on me. I got the Aria, and I want to root it but I just don't get it. Do I install that SDK thing on my PC or on my phone's SD card? If I change SD cards, will it stil be rooted?

you install SDK onto something like C:\android, by default the folder is called something else when unzipped into C:\
once you've rooted, changing SD card will not un-root your roots
Thanks for the tip, I finally got that SDK tools thing to appear the right way, even got the pdanet thing hooked up. Now to see if I can actually do this root thingy.
The driver is a little bit tricky . what i do was boot the phone as normal then plug it into the computer so it will recognize the phone then i boot into the recovery.
if i don't do that. the computer will not recognize my phone when it is in the recovery mode. i did change the driver around and play with it.
yeah the drivers are always tricky lol

Connect the phone to the PC, and connect it as storage drive
Then it acts like a normal flash drive
Do you mean click on disk drive(mount as disc drive). I tried this and nothing happens! Where do I find htc sync
OK found instructions in quick start
DONE
Thanks for help

Problems with USB-Connection and SD Card in Android

Hello,
i have installed the Android Rom from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877777
Installation worked fine, no problems at all.
Android runs, better then WM, but i have 2 problems:
1.Android shows up a message that my MICRO SD card is damaged, and that i need to format, which i did, but the message still appears. I tried to format the card on my pc, but Win7 tells me that the format can not be finished due to unknown problems.....seems that a few other android users have the same problems with their SD Cards.....any ideas or solutions to this problem?
The card worked fine till Android installation......
2.I can´t establish an USB Connection with Android an WIN 7.
I have downloaded and installed HTC Sync(for all Android phones), when I plug in the phone, Android shows the usb connection icon, and Win 7 installs all needed drivers(firsttime), but HTC-Sync says: no device connected.
Any ideas?
Did you do a full format of the SD card, and not just a quick format?
If you did, and it didn't help, try using a different piece of software to format, like this...
http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3
There's loads of 3rd party formatting apps that are better than the native Windows one.
As for HTC Sync, you can't use that with a ROM that doesn't have HTC Sense on it. Why do you want to connect to your PC, or is it just to use HTC Sync? If it's just for that then I'm afraid you have to forget about it and try and find alternative solutions. What do you want from HTC Sync?

[Q] Problems connecting custom rom i9505 to windows via mini USB

I rooted my S4 l702 to the Google Play edition rom i9505. I didn't have any major problems besides wifi not working. This supposedly can be fixed by installing the newest version of agot. I didn't care and never installed because I was using my main device the nexus 5. I went on vacation and deactivated my line go avoid any chance of roaming charges. I come back and reactivate my lines but the Samsung won't reactivate. I'm not too worried because I figure that it's a Problem with my rom. I was going to back up my pictures from my vacation and restore to factory rom. I spent hours trying to get Windows and OSX to 1) recognize the device and 2) let me transfer photos. I tried using android file transfer and Kies on OSX. I then tried using my desktop running windows. I plugged the device in and Microsoft tries installing drivers. I let Microsoft instal drivers and it still won't let me transfer photos. It continues to search for MTP and never finds it. I them uninstalled the drivers and installed the i9505 drivers from samsung. Same thing 2 of the drivers are there but MTP fAils. I then try Kies which is constantly searching or telling me that my device isn't supported. I really don't know how to get my photos and would appreciate any help! Please ask any questions! Also now windows doesn't even try to instal drivers but it still appears under device manager.
Why don't you just install a newer version first? Or if that doesnt work use a different rom/return to stock? Your internal sd won't get wiped.

I thought about that but I with pure android saving to SD cards isn't supported. I thought you had to wipe the phone prior to restoring or instal a new Rom. Thanks for the reply.

I thought about that but pure android doesn't support micro SD cards and my vacation photos are on the phones internal memory. I could be wrong but I thought you had to wipe the phone prior to installing a new ROM. Thanks for the reply
Did you try to mount it as PTP (Camera) to get your photos?
When connected to USB, pul down the notification pannel and open "Connected as media device". Then select PTP.
It WILL work.

Yeah, I tried that too. Windows was having problems finding camera drivers or something. I'll try again in the morning and let you know exactly what happens.
No custom recovery will wipe your internal sd card by default. You have to manually select it if you want to wipe your internal sd.
When trying to use OTP windows is stuck looking for ore configured drivers.
