Hey guys,
I was granted access to the beta of Android App Inventor and wanted to start playing around with that software and my HD2 running android. However, I cannot manage to get a connection to the phone via USB. (Selection: Connect to Phone in Block Editor does not work for me).
So, is there anyone working with App Inventor paired with HD2?
Thank you for your help and advice in advance,
jokeR
Download the Android SDK (if you haven't already), and install the package, "Usb Driver Package, revision 3".
Then plug in your HD2, if it doesn't auto-install do the following:
Right click my computer - manage - device manager,
find your HD2 in Other Devices/leo
Right click it, Update Driver Software
Browse my computer for driver software
In the text box: C:\android-sdk-windows\usb_driver (adjust accordingly)
Click next and it should install.
also only some builds have usb connection working i am using darkstones build and usb works fine
Currently I use this build: "shubCRAFT CM6RC2/Froyo" .
I still did not manage to complete a connection. The Block editor quits with an error "We made a mistake! Please help by reporting this bug:
Problem getting project defitions for phone: ...longurl..."
I will retry installing SDK and Extras and driver.
So, after reinstalling everything it still does not work:
"Leo" is listed in Devices as: "Android Composite ADB Interface" - is that the right driver?
I also tried to use a virtual Android device utilizing the SDK, but sadly that did not work as well. I have the Desktop of the virtual Android on my Screen, but clicking connect in Block editor does not connect to the virtual device (the Leo is unplugged in that scenario).
:/
make sure USB debugging is enabled in the application settings
Yes I have App Inventor. It's working OK for my on Darkstones build, but like you, I have issues with Shub's build.
For some reason or another - and I'm not sure how - I got it running just fine with no phone connected at all. I was able to complete the project and save it just fine. Maybe it was a bug...
I tried Darkstone's built, had USB debugging enabled, but it still did not work for me Don't know what to do next.
Anyone working with virtual devices or other builds that could work?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Had a search and found 1 or 2 things but they never worked for me. Anyway I have complied this driver for Windows XP so all you need to do is add it to your Internal Storage, plug it in to your computer copy it to your PC, then set your phone to internet sharing. When it moans that it dosn't know where the driver is, point it to them and it should work.
I just tested it on an XP machine and it worked so hopefully it will work for you.
If there is already a solution for this please let em know.

2. settings / wireless controls/ "click" internt tethering
3. go to PC and wireless network connections, select G1Tether and click connect. it will not connect

Thank you very, very much

I cannot get these drivers to work. I'm using an xp machine and every time I turn on the usb tethering, it automatically installs drivers identified as "HTC remote ndis remote device" and it has a big yellow ! next to it. I tried pointing at your folder for the device wizard and it says it couldn't locate better drivers to install. What am I missing here?
I have the same issue with you, waiting for the solution.

Try tell it that you will select the driver manually. Then click the "Have Disk" button and point to the inf of this driver. That should install it regardless of what Device Manager thinks is the best drriver.
Been having trouble getting wired tether to work also. In device manager I had a yellow "!" sign on USB composite device, installed the driver from this thread and the caution sign disappeared - still no tethering though
I suppose I'll just have to make do with wireless tether.
when I point that file as the driver it tells me it isnt for that device.
Connect your phone, then when it says it has found new hardware but cant install it, go to the device manager, double click the and click reinstall driver.
Point the folder to where ever you saved the driver too and it should install.

Works
Worked for my Nexus 1 Cyanogen 5.0.5
Thanks to you for posting this and to the user who posted the info about vista and 7 having the driver already. I was scratching my head as to why this worked on my home laptop (vista) and not my work laptop (xp).
i got an old fossil
Windows 2000.....is this possible?
Thanks you! Something that finally works!
I have a question. My PC at work still has its normal LAN connection through a network card. Now I have this second connection through my G1. If I make a web request with Firefox, which connection will it use? Do I have to disable the LAN connection to guarantee that it uses the G1? Or is there someway to make Windows default to the G1 if it's attached, and use the LAN otherwise?
Works for USB tethering using Android 2.2 (Froyo) and Windows XP
Thanks for the driver. FYI I was able to use it with Android 2.2's built-in USB tethering and Windows XP SP3.
Unrooted Nexus One with stock Android 2.2 (Froyo)
this worked for me, thanks!

"all you need to do is add it to your Internal Storage" The file you posted is to get the driver on your computer working, right? Am I copying ANY file at all to the phone or?
Hello!
Oh this is going to be fun, long story short I have a HTC Hero which I used to be able to connect to my pc and use it as a mass storage device absolutey fine. Since that time though I have:
- Wiped my PC and reinstalled Windows
- Flashed a custom rom onto my Hero (Currently MoDaCo's 2.9 - although I think the mass storage has worked before while using this)
Anyway, simple problem; the Hero won't connect to Windows via USB. No "Mount" notification on the phone, no entry in HTC Sync - nothing. Everytime I connect it via the cable Windows ~does~ read something enough to say it is an "Unknown" device and the yellow balloon pop up will appear saying the device has malfuntioned / can't be used. A driver problem you might say?!
I've tried to download the SDK today and get the USB driver but Window's won't let me apply it in anyway. If I try and force it to use it on the "unknown" device it just simply says the driver is not related / has no information.
So thoughts? Where would you start on solving this? Could the custom rom on the phone be the cause?
Thanks all!

Uninstall any HTC software.
Plug your phone in. Go Control Panel --> System --> Device Manager -->
Find the yellow ! . Then right click and UNINSTALL. If there are multiple !'s uninstall all of them.
Then reinstall HTC SYNC.
NO,... Follow this instead,.. SORRY!!!

Isnt there the Message:
Windows XP users: For details on setting up USB tethering on Windows XP, see http://www.android.com/tether
And if you go there you can find the tetherxp.inf file
Windows XP contains the drivers you need to take advantage of USB tethering, but you must install a configuration file before connecting your phone to your Windows XP computer, to instruct Windows XP how to configure itself to use those drivers.
Download the following configuration file (tetherxp.inf) to your Windows XP computer. Typically, you can right click on the link and choose "Save As". (If your browser appends .html to the file name, you will need to edit the name to remove the .html extension.)
Use the USB cable that came with your phone to connect your phone to your computer.
On the Android phone, press Home, press Menu, and touch Settings to open the Settings application.
Touch Wireless & networks > Tethering & portable hotspot.
Check USB tethering.
When Windows XP’s New Hardware Wizard opens, select No, not at this time and click Next.
Select Install from a list or specific location and click Next.
Click Browse to browse to the directory where you installed the configuration file you downloaded in Step 1 and click Next. Windows XP uses the configuration file to configure itself to support USB tethering with the Android phone.
When Windows XP finishes installing the software for Android USB Ethernet/RNDIS, click Finish.
You can now use the new Windows XP local area network connection provided by your phone via USB tethering. For more information about configuring networks in Windows XP, see the documentation that comes with Windows.

Thank You!
It worked for me on GingerVillain (can't remember which one, but i think 2.3c) so I didn't think it was a general android issue. Thanks again I'll try it out!

Thanks a lot man. This solution worked flawlessly.
Thank A lot
It Worked Fine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
XP does not even register USB Tether mode.
Storage mode works fine, so USB is being detected.
I restored the system files back to the original to no avail.
How do I get the system to register?

USB tether in WinXP
Here's what I learned trying to USB tether my HTC Incredible with CM7 and my netbook with WinXP. WindowsXP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Linux, and Apple all have the USB android RNDIS drivers needed for USB tethering. However, WinXP is not ready to go out of the box and needs a configuration file, teatherxp.inf, to configure WinXP to install these drivers. When the Android USB drivers are installed they are found under Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > Network Adaptors > Android USB Ethernet/RNDIS.
Follow the instructions on http://support.google.com/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=182134 and it shows you how to install the drivers. This works fine and dandy and WinXP will try to install the Android USB drivers when you start USB tethering according to the directions as long as your phone is contained in the configuration file on this web site.*
If you phone is not in the inf file it will not recognize the inf file. If this is the case, you need to modify the inf file to include your phone. Do not modify the tetherxp.inf file in the Google link. Use the XDA Developers tetherxp.inf from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419159 as it is configured in a more readable and understandable way and perhaps more timely. This tetherxp.inf is configured for only some models of Google Nexus, HTC, and Motorlola and did not work with my HTC Incredible.
Open tetherxp.inf in a text editor and you will find the phones are listed twice, both under [AndroidDevices] and [AndroidDevices.NT.5.1]. You can add your own phone but obviously the syntax has to be exactly correct and you need to find the information to include. If you start USB tethering and you were not able to install the drivers then go to Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager and you will find Other Devices > RNDIS with a yellow question mark. Right click and go to properties > details > device instance ID and you will find the information that needs to go in the file. My Incredible had USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C03\HT05GHJ09289. You don't use the final slash and following text which is he USB ID of the phone. It is no coincidence how similar the information on the Incredible is to the other HTC phones.
At the end of [AndroidDevices] paste the following 2 lines:
; HTC Incredible without adb
%AndroidDevice% = RNDIS, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C03
At the end of [AndroidDevices.NT.5.1] paste the following two lines:
; HTC Incredible without adb
%AndroidDevice% = RNDIS.NT.5.1, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C03
Now save the file and go back to Other Devices > RNDIS and update the driver by pointing to your now updated tetherxp.inf file and the drivers will be installed and your phone will have USB tether on WinXP. If you follow these general principles you should be able to put any phone into tetherxp.inf.
Hope this is helpful to someone. It took me awhile to figure it out. BTW, when you are using USB tether on WinXp and you are done using it, don't uncheck the USB tether box in the Android settings, just unplug it. Otherwise something hangs and you will have trouble starting it up again and your computer can't complete the shutdown.
The solution doesn't work.
I have HTC Desire GSM with CM7.1.0 (stable) and when I try to connect device to pc (win xp sp3 32-bit), OS can't install any driver (I've tried to install google usb drivers, htc sync driver and google tether drivers)
Disabling USB Debug, drivers are correctly installed... but I don't like this solution (I prefer this option enabled)
Hi,
It seems that I've searched everywhere and tried everything, but I'm unable to get USB tethering to work.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but this is my understanding of how it should work between Windows 7 64bit and Typhoon's CM7 Android running on the HTC HD2:
Phone Side:
Wired tethering is already available as an option, so simply enable USB tethering by ticking Settings -> Wireless and network settings -> Tethering & portable hotspot -> USB tethering
Windows Side:
Install the correct ADB driver for the HTC HD2. Does this create a new network adapter? I'm assuming a internet connection starts automatically as soon as tethering is enabled on the phone (and this runs via the network adapter)
When I connect the phone via USB, windows is unable to automatically find a driver. Apparently windows already comes prepackaged with a RDNIS driver, but this doesn't seem to work. The phone shows up in device manager under "Other devices" and is listed as "ADB" with a yellow exclamation mark. Where do I find the correct driver to use, and what happens after I've installed the driver. Is it true that the process is automatic, or do I need to right click on the installed adapter and click connect?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated,
Regards,
XA83
Hi guys. Would really appreciate some tips on this one.
Is nobody using USB tethering on Win7 64?

Hey. I haven't been able to get native USB teathering to work. U can use a app to make it work that seems to be the only way as of now. If you search my posts I posted the apk file.

In the past I've had to search on google for the ADB driver but cannot remember where i found it since I couldnt find it again but a friend just brang their desire hd over and windows 7 found the driver straight away, do u know anyone who would borrow u their android device?
dunno if this helps
http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
Thanks for the replies.
I've already installed the Google USB driver (from the developer site listed above). The phone shows up and the ADB driver is installed.
I've also tried installing the wired tethering apk from google apps. It is currently at version 1.4.
HOWEVER, I still don't understand how this is supposed to work as the ADB driver is not listed under networking devices. Surely you need a network driver to able to establish a connection. What am I not understanding?

Hey, just built a new PC for a friend and tried sharing my internet connection using easytether which didnt work because the pc didnt have the correct adb driver. My friend then installed HTC Sync (for her Desire HD) and windows found an adb driver in there. Now the native tethering & easytether on my phone works.
Now I'm not too sure if htc sync has ANYTHING to do with this, or if the driver was downloaded from her desire hd (usb was plugged in already) but I guess you could try downloading htc sync and see what happens.

Hi
Are you sure you have ADB set up properly? You may want to get to know ADB here. At least run the devices command to see where the problem is. What you should try is restarting both Windows and your phone (we all know windows...). If that doesn't work you'll want to try a different USB cable and socket but as you are saying the device is detected by windows so the hardware shouldn't be a problem. A complete reinstall of eclipse may be needed as well.
There is an edit button so no need to post 5! times.
i fixed it by updating driver software in device managers..and selecting the google usb driver location i donwloaded via the sdk manager
thanks
