Step 1 - install Samsung drivers (instructions abound, run a search)
Step 2 - set to USB Debugging Mode
Step 3 - Plug in phone ;-)
Step 4 - hit the 'windows key' type 'phone' and click on 'Phone and Modem' when it pops up. Click on the 'Modems' tab.
Step 5 - Select the SAMSUNG ANDROID USB MODEM that shows a COM# next to it, and select properties. Click the 'Diagnostics' tab, then 'Query Modem' As long as it sends back 'Success', you can continue with the rest of this.
Step 5.1 Click the "Change Setting" button on the lower left corner of the dialog box, if your version of Windows 7 still has that.
Step 6 - Click the 'Advanced' tab, and insert
Code:
AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","epc.t-mobile.com"
into the extra initialization commands. Exit out of the Phone and Modem Dialog
Step 7 - Go to 'Internet Options' in Control Panel, and select 'Connections' tab.
Step 8 -Click 'Add...' button, and choose 'Dial-up'
Step 9 - Populate Phone Number with *99# Name with 'wap' and password with 'password' Name the connection whatever you like.
Step 10 - cross your fingers and click 'connect'
As long as Step 10 connects you to the internet, then you're good to go.
I left-click on the wireless icon in my toolbar to access the dialer, once it's setup there's a section for 'dialup' in addition to wireless
The only 'difficulty' I've had is that sometimes I have to unplug and replug the USB cable in order to start the networking - otherwise, it's been very stable, and I'm getting MUCH higher speeds than when using PDANet or Easytether, and I SEEM to be getting better battery life (laptop and phone) than using the Apps.
Like the OSX instructions, this SHOULD work without root, however, I've not tested it without root, so I don't want to promise anything ;-)
Thanks to MSW1382 for helping me clarify this set of instructions.

Just tested this out and it does work.
There are a couple things I would like to point out.
Before step 6, you must click the "Change Setting" button on the lower left corner of the dialog box.
Also in step 7, you are referring to "Internet Options" not Internet Properties.
Seems to be working ok so far. I am posting this using this method...
there is an easier way to tether without being rooted and using windows. if you download Samsung Kies, once you connect your phone(keeping in mind you need to go into the applications setting under setting and change your usb function to kies) in the Kies program, there is an option to tether. i have used this successfully several times now. its worth a shot if you dont want to go and alter any sort of setting on your comp
speeds
Thanks, it works perfectly.
Thanks. This works. I had easytether and that worked for a day, after which it kept disconnecting after a few minutes. This seems more stable but I don't know if it's just as fast or faster, but hey it works so I'm not complaining.
I'm typing this out while tethering Happy happy joy joy.
Will this work over Bluetooth? Time to mess around with this

Hey, i just got a new windows 8 device through work and they have put a modified build of windows on it that i am required to press ctrl, alt, delete to open the tab. My problem is that the keyboard is not active until i have unlocked the tablet and i can not unlock the tablet until i have pressed ctrl, alt, del. So i am currently forced to carry a small usb keyboard to perform the open, which kind of defeats the object of having a shiny new tablet.
Can anyone suggest a better solution?
Thanks,
Stokesy

oh that's too good! lol
course if the GPOs are set by an AD then he'll need to speak to his helpful admin, who might not be very helpful given that this serves a very good use!
another curious thing is why your company is letting you play around with Win8 and not actually set it up for you...
one final thing, as already hinted at, the ctrl alt del thing has been there for a very long time and there is a very good reason for it. If your Domain admin requires you to have that level of security then a more prudent thing to do would be to disconnect it from the domain setup a local account and change the GPO settings as advised above and play with it with no fear of an angry Admin banging on your door
connecting to the AD will automatically override any GP settings if so setup.

The issues is, it has been set up by my company and is required as one of the mandatory a security policies in the company build. I am locked out from making changes otherwise this would be simple. I have spoke to security team and they are slow to get to grips with the world of tablets and so state the only way to proceed is with a usb keyboard. I work for a global telecoms company so there is no way of changing there minds from where i satnd. So i am looking for a work arround if possible. Any ideas?

Their problem is its very difficult to setup per computer policies. The easiest solution would be to remove it from the domain, get an admin or domain admin to setup a local account on that computer. I suspect if this is a common issue then MS will adapt the OS, in the mean time feed that back to MS, its very important all feedback is returned, don't assume someone else will do it

Guys,I am not too new in this social forum dedicated to hacking mobile devices but I am to computers and computer jargon.
We,new comers get excited when reading posts saying I did this,I did that.Worked like a charm,I tweaked this I tweaked that.I am in control of my device,on Gingerbread now my device is on JellyBean.Awesome.
But they were able to have this much of control over their device because they know something which we, are not certain off.
Using their computers and also knowing their device.
One of the fundamental rules in Forum XDA is reading,reading and more reading.And yet there are so many who screw up.It is said that to do any stuff,you must follow the instructions given by the developers to the letter and yet nothing is smooth as it should be.
Lack of absorbing instructions.
Or just can't understand clearly.
Well,it's about the same.You can read,read and read but when it comes down to actually doing it,you would definitely have to use a desktop or a laptop.
That's when the ordeal begins.Did it say this,to press this or do this.Oh bugger,I should not have done that.
F**k,F**K,F**k,shi*,My phones got boot loops,its not opening,Cant get to open my sweet beautiful Xperia Arc/S,Neo/Neo V/Pro/Mini Pro........I'm pricked.
Sorry,bricked my device.Crying!!!!!
[This above anxieties was well documented/experienced by yours truly) So don't nobody say I'm pointing my index finger at you!
Everyday,there are thousands getting hold of a mobile device,new and used,young and old-like me.And those who read magazines or who have friends who read magazines would have heard that one could really take charge of the devices that one owns and be a master of it.But one also must understand and navigate a computer,haha.
So ,I am going to start the ball rolling and everyone is invited to add on this thread.It is not specifically designed to just advice.But a detailed advice would be welcomed.You know this is for newcomers and people who are not well versed in using the computers.So a detailed as and example:
You need to flash this firmware
4.1.B.0.587.
You need:
1)Flashtool-download from here----
2)Firmware-download from here----
Once done downloading,run flashtool in your computer it can be located in 2 places either in downloads or C:\.Now,right click on it and there will be a prompt WinZip and if you are using 7zip it will also be within WinZip asking you where to extract the file to.Extract it to the same page.
Now after the extraction you will see a folder pop up in the page with the same name minus the .exe.Double click on it,you will see a bunch of files.We are only interested in 2.
Drivers-double click on this.There will be a prompt.Press install.Then there will be a couple of more prompts in unison just keep on pressing next,next and press finish when the last prompts pops up.All in all, there will be 4 prompts.I think,I will check.
What this does is linking your device with the computer.Now,this file will open and in it you will find your device name,tick in the box next to your device.Scroll down to the bottom there will be flashtool and flashmode.Tick the boxes beside both.You are done here for now.
Press back on page.You will come back to earlier page.In here there is a file named Firmware.
Click and open it.Inside you will find x10 firmware.This is because the creator of this tool,Bin4ry and Androxyde initially created this tool for the x10 device,I think.Delete this.I had left this there before but after inserting another firmware in another column in the page it will read kernel.sin adsp.sin,kernel and stuff.
Was confused.So I only put one at a time.Should be easier that way.
Leaving it just like this now go and download the 4.1.B.0.587 if you haven't already.
Its always good to prepare everything needed.Just say for argument sake you have already done that.And it is in your download section.
The file will also be a zipped file.Unzip it,like you did with flashtool earlier and now you will have another folder with the same name.
Double click on the folder.There will be another file,click one more time on it, a pagination indicating it is the said file only now it will read as a .FTF file.This is what you need.
Press right click,a window will pop up,as though you didn't know this already,right click on it then copy or cut.
Go back to earlier page,click on firmware folder again and right click and press paste.The firmware is magically transferred here.Sweet.
Now its almost time.Get your USB cable ready.See that your device is at least 70% full.For whatever reason you are connecting your phone to the computer always backup your contacts,call logs,mail.
Whatever that needs to be sync with another remote destination let it sync.This way you can retrieve your stuff if something goes wrong.And you loose everything on your SDcard.But with this very detailed step by step guidance and if you still manage to screw up."Youve got a BIG problem with navigating on a computer.
"Google sync is the best for contacts, call logs and mail.Photos and collection of movies,videos and MP3s you pirated, I would say,your computer.
Also a friendly advice don't put too much hope of retrieving from apps which say that you can backup to.When everything goes,everything goes,even your backup app.Now back to business at hand.
Get your cable,checked
Phone at 70% charged or more,
checked.
Open flashtool,this is where?In your C drive, C:\flashtool and flashtool the folder,double click the folder,bunch of files again.
Double click on Driver prompts,run it,it will open up,again tick on the box beside your device,flashtool and flashmode.Done.
Go back to earlier page,this time click on firmware again,just to check if the firmware that you cut/copy pasted is still there.Present.
Good.
Go back one page,now,towards the bottom of the page there will be flashtoolx86(this is for windows xp if you are using a windowsXP 32bit.You know what you are using,don't you?)And flashtoolx64(this for windows7 and x64bit computers)Click on this,only one.And a reduced size page will appear.This is the main page of flashtool.
Click on the lightning icon another page will appear.This time your firmware that you cut/copy and pasted earlier will appear.
Mind you this detailed tutorial is only for flashing and as an example.
Now,there are 3 coloums at the extreme right of the page.Non of the boxes must he ticked/checked.
Make sure of this,if you don't want to send out PMs to members who might be just about to hit the sack with their partners.
There are some nice members out there as there are others.
Right,coming back,at the bottom
of the page there is a box and beside the box is this line,no final
verification.
Tick only this box and press OK.On the screen you will see an illustration of a USB cable putting in and pulling out and a instruction which says to power off the device.
But wait.You are about to connect your phone to a computer.As such,you must enable USB Debugging in your device.
You can do this by going into your phone Settings>Developer>tick/check the box beside USB Debugging.
Then go into Security>and tick/check the box beside Unknown Sources and finally go back also in Settings>Xperia>Connectivity there will be two Instructions.
One to connect with PC Companion which will have a box beside it.We don't need that but the other without a box.Just press on it a prompt will appear.There will be 2 options.One says MTP,we don't need this too the other we definitely need MSC.Press on MSC.
The tiny l.e.d light will come on.Done.Now your phone is prepped up to connect to the pc.
Switch off your phone.Press the back button,connect one end of the USB cable to your phone still pressing the back button and the other to your computer.
Do not take your fingers off that back button.The l.e.d.light near the volume button will turn green.Now click on the lightning icon again.
The next page with the firmware will appear again.Where's your finger,good,keep on pressing the back button.
Go through the boxes on your extreme right to see none of the boxes are ticked/checked.Go to the bottom now tick/check the box beside No verification.And press OK.
Another page will come on,and some writtings will start appearing on its on.You can now release your fingers from pressing the back button.
And you will see the words at the bottom of the page flashing finished.And then some more.So read and look for the word.Unplug your device.You have done flashing.
Some might think that this is a total waste of time.No one in their correct mind need to do this lenghtly whatever.But to be honest,every hiccup mentioned above occurred to me.
My grasp of understanding computer jargon and navigating on a computer was zilch.And I had a hard time understanding.
Not that I've become and expert,no.
Very very far from it.But I've had this xperia arc since early 2012 and only managed to Root and Unlocked the bootloader recently.
I am always reading and copying how tos and still failed applying a custom Rom.Go figure.
This might help one person or two who knows.So long as it helps.
Whatever I have written above are my experiences.Thank you all at xda for giving me this push to pursue learning computers and also of my device this very late in my life.
Note:Moderators kindly do not close this thread.
Guys,please if this thread stays on,kindly,if you don't mind,just add.I will be adding more in the future.TQ.

I'll test it further later, but this is a nice start

@Pasquiindustry
Thanks for this great app! I hope you'll add authentication for developer mode soon.
Logging would be very handy for anyone trying to troubleshoot issues. Might help to find a rogue process or something. Is this something you could add down the track?
@the_scotsman I will try to add more functions within the next release, I'm writing a to-do list with every suggestion and that's a very long list XD
Unfortunately, that's an IAP error within the Store :S
Update available! (v 1.5)
Changelog is available within the opening post
Great job! Thanks for implementing authentication.

Hi, I saw these files, but they aren't working on Windows Mobile (I think that files are there for the OneCore system). APIs to make them working are missing unfortunately.

Crashed during start up, can't pass through the startup screen.
@Pasquiindustry, the app is cool but it never remembers the password..
1. Install app from Store
2. Pair with phone
3. All OK & works
4. Close app & open it again
5. Need pairing again......

I've notices something similar within the latest insider build. It seems that Windows is taking too much time to load the app. If you try multiple times, the app will start.
I'm pretty sure that's not a bug related to my app because there isn't anything running at the app startup.

Yes, that's normal on phones with TH2. This got resolved with Redstone, but this require an update (don't worry, it's coming really soon and will contain a lot of new features ).
It seems that the "remember this device" function is bugged and return an error if enabled. So if you want authentication, you need a new passcode everytime you run this app.
can you save last IP and connect again during app start? Currently I have to connect each time again to my local IP of my phone to see the data
I conect to host: 127.0.0.1.
I also do this, but I have to go to configuration and connect each time I start the app again. I want to start the app and the app should connect to localhost each time
Finally found a way to have your phone go to "File Transfer" mode automatically when the USB cable is plugged in! There's an Automate flow that does just this! You can download it here: https://llamalab.com/automate/community/flows/18022
The only caveat is that your phone has to unlocked before you plug it up. As in, you've got to put in your PIN, password, or pattern before plugging it up to your computer. Nevermind that last bit. See post #2.
I've tried it on my Windows PC and it works perfectly everytime. I'm not sure about Mac's.
Root is NOT required.
If you don't Automate, you can download it from Google Play here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.llamalab.automate&hl=en.
It's a very easy way to automate a great many things on your phone. It's got a visual interface that uses 'blocks'. That makes it easy to do complex task without having to have any knowledge of scripting. However, if you like scripting, you can do that as well for even more complex tasks.
I would imagine someone has done same with a Tasker script as well. I don't use Tasker, so I've not looked for it.
I've altered the _USB Mass Storage flow to automatically set the USB usage type to "File Transfer" after a reboot, or after you unlock your phone from a reboot, if you keep your phone locked.
The original flow only works when you're phone is already booted up and not locked. While that's super helpful, that's only part of what I needed.
When modding apks, I place the apk on my phone, reboot, then check and see if my mods worked. If not, I need to often immediately transfer another attempted apk to my phone, reboot, then check and see if my mods worked or not. If not, repeat that process. Anyone who's done any sort of dev work will understand how annoying it is to have to keep selecting File Transfer every time you're testing an apk or mod that requires a reboot, which may be 20, 30, 40, 50, 60+ times during one sitting.
This updated flow will make the phone automatically go to "File Transfer" mode after a reboot, or after you unlock your phone from a reboot, if you keep your phone locked.
There's a small delay, like 5 seconds.
Ideally, I would have liked to have just altered the one flow, but I couldn't figure out how to have it work both on boot, and work any other time as well. To that end, you'll need to use both the flow I linked in the first post AND this one. They can both be running at the same time without issue. This one runs only once at boot, the other flow runs any other time the phone is plugged in.
You can download the flow from the Automate Community here: http://llamalab.com/automate/community/flows/20646
Updated the flow in the Automate Community.
The original zip I posted didn't take into account rebooting while the phone was not connected to a computer, and so it would keep checking the notification over and over because there was none. Eventually, the log file would get to big and the flow would "crash."
v2 of this zip fixes that.

You don't seriously think I've gone through all this trouble when the solution was that easy, do you?
That article is BS for two reasons:
1. - PTP ONLY gives you access to your DCIM and Pictures folders. Neither of which are folders I usually need or want access to.
1.5 - MTP does give you full access, but... see reason #2.
2. - Even if #1 wasn't an issue, which it is, that setting doesn't stick after a reboot, which is my main gripe and specifically the reason for the flow I posted in the second post.

Yes looks like they reset the config after connection, since Android 6.0. Very good reason why, and maybe worth considering. It was to stop your phone being attacked by the Bad USB security vulnerability. Plug phone into a bad USB hub or device and auto enable MTP, it could be attacked and would be giving full access. Circumventing security on the OS will always be a trouble.

Thanks for this, a convenient automation!
I'm having trouble "Importing" the flo file
as it does not accept it so I have to cancel the
"Import" and get back to the main page again!
Any suggestion?

You have to save the flow to Google Drive first. Did you do that?

Yup, and I copied it to the internal storage first as
you suggested to no avail.

I've uploaded it to the Automate Community. http://llamalab.com/automate/community/flows/20646
If that link takes you to a download page and you're still having trouble importing that download, just search for "USB Mass Storage After Reboot" in the Automate Community via the Automate app.

None of these scripts work on Moto X4 Oreo with latest Automate.
Attached log.
