Does anyone have the usb tether option working on a Evo 2.2 Froyo? I know it worked in 2.1 as internet sharing, but Sprint seems to have disabled it for 2.2. I'm just wondering if anyone has found a rom that has it enabled besides cynanogen.
Thanks
there was a thread that it worked. do you have root access
Edit
http://code.google.com/p/android-wired-tether/
this is the apk you need if you have root
I'm running the stock rooted froyo update 3.28.651.1 with the latest WiFi tether (pre-9) and its working fine. Just root your phone and download the source code from Google. Don't download the earlier packages as well as the one in the market, because they don't appear to work.
For the wired tethering option:
If you connect it to your computer via USB, there is an option under the "Connect to PC" sub menu that will put your phone into USB tethering mode, or you can go to the "Wireless and Networks" sub menu and check it from the box at the very bottom under mobile network.

I'm running CyanogenMod 4.2.4 on my G1 with Android 1.6
Has anyone been able to tether this configuration successfully?
sorry...this belongs in the devices forum. my bad.
Its as simple as having drivers installed on your computer, and checking the internet tether box in the wireless settings. takes a few seconds for windows to get the RNDIS driver going then you are online.
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,

Hi guys. Would really appreciate some tips on this one.

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

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.
I want to use wi-fi tethering on my Atrix4g.
my phone is not rooted and still using motoblur.the version is 4.1.83.and I'm not in USA anymore ...
could anyone help me with this issue ?
I think you will need to root your phone. For rooting 1.8.3, you'll need to use GingerBreak - which unfortunately will wipe one or both of your SD cards (internal, external), so backup first. Search for GingerBreak in the dev section.
After rooting, you can use any of the wi-fi tethering apps, e.g. Barnacle.
Without rooting, I am afraid you will be stuck with USB tethering.
are u sure that I will be able to tether after rooting the device ?
what do u mean by USB tethering?how is it related to this ?

Yes, I am sure since I did it. There are several apps in the market for Wi-Fi tethering - all of them require root. (These apps may not be available, though, if you have an AT&T SIM in your phone.)
There are two more ways to tether: USB and Bluetooth. Both mean you share your connection with a PC, by either connecting to your phone via USB or via bluetooth. Both, however, require that you install a piece of software on your PC to make it work. Also, USB tethering apps are not free. (E.g., EasyTether.) The advantage is that you do not require root.

You must have a sdcard in your phone for Gingerbreak to work. This will almost certainly wipe your internal sdcard so back up anything you want from there, but will not wipe your external sdcard. You will also need sideloading enabled to install Barnacle or WiFi Tether > GladEnabler. You will also need adb on your PC. Follow the instructions in the GladEnabler post.
1. Download Gingerbreak.exe to your PC from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046626. Make sure you get the .exe and not the .apk. Link to Gingerbreak.exe is at bottom of the first post.
2. Turn on USB Debugging on your phone : Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging checkmark.
3. Connect your phone to your PC with USB cable > wake up phone (i.e. not on lock screen) > pull down notification bar > select USB connection > select None.
4. Run Gingerbreak.exe on your PC. (Note you will not get any notification it has completed).
5. On your phone select the application drawer > scroll down to Gingerbreak > select and run Gingerbreak. You should now be rooted and can uninstall Gingerbreak.
6. To check if you are rooted use this > Root Checker
7. Here is Barnacle > Barnacle Site. Do not download from Market. Click on (or here) on the webpage.
8. Here is WiFi Tether > WiFi Tether. Download latest version.
you were very clear.n now m rooted.Thank you !

Would this work on an Atrix running system 4.5.91?
Not as far as I know. I obtained root through pudding.
Beamed from WinBorg 4G via XDA Premium
these apk's and updates work with GB2.3.5. and kernels. i have 2.3.5 and 1.45 kernel and it works for me. if any one wanted to know.
I currently am using cm9 ics jackpotclavins latest build on my kindle fire. apparently this builds wpa_supplicant file does not support adhoc. I tried everything I could think of replacing wpa_supplicant from cm7 build to cm9 no go tried a few different modifications of wpa_supplicant online did not work, ics build uses wpa supplicant 0.6.10. I even tried a patch online. I love using my tablet at work using the wifi from my smartphone. I cannot do this one ice cream sandwich, but do not want to give that up just because of this feature. Is there a work around that anyone knows of to get adhoc on kindle fire ics?
What kind of phone are you using I have tethered mine with a LG, HTC, and a Samsung, With no problems.
What app are you using to tether with?
Had the same problem. Install "ZT-180 Adhoc Switcher", works OK for me!
I did install zt-180 adhoc switcher and it doesnt do jack just forces close. Im using his latest build with the video fix. I tether with a droidx with the latest 2nd init rom of miui. using wifi tether. My computer can connect to the adhoc network so i know the network is up and running. if you guys have no problems I dont know what else to do any suggestions?
just an update I read online of people having their droidx in infrastructure mode aka softap, not adhoc, I've tried also to get wireless tether in infrastructure but in any version i try it goes to adhoc is intrastructure mode possible with droidx?
you don't need any app for infrastructure mode - that's the mode wifi normally works on every access point
Try Wifi Tether and enable MSS clamping and Routing fix in the settings and see if that works.
Same Problem
I tried this with my ICS Kindle fire and it did not work i also tried ZT 180 Ad Hoc Tethering Switch and it just keeps force closing
so I found the culprit for infrastructure mode any gb based miui rom will not support infrastructure mode. you must use a cyanogen mod 7 or froyo miui, i can confirm a cyanogen mod 7 will enable infrastructure mode for the droidx. right now atm i still use atm as my daily drive and whenever i want to use my kindle fire away from the house and there is any unsecured wifi around I use boot manager to boot into cyanogenmod 7 to enable the infrastructure mode not adhoc
Maybe, i'm on rooted stock (6.2.1) and, as i told, zt-180 works ok for me
