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,

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.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA Premium App
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.

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.

4.2.6 USB tethering
I downloaded the drivers but don't know where to put them. I think I'm not doing something right.
1. Plug in phone via USB (dont' have "Wireless tether for root users running")
2. settings / wireless controls/ "click" internt tethering
3. go to PC and wireless network connections, select G1Tether and click connect. it will not connect
is this a driver problem? do i need "wireless tether for root users" running?
help
thanks... vista and windows 7 has the drivers inbuilt but not for windows xp..
Driver works on Magic 32A with SuperD 1.5.1, WinXP SP2.
Thank you very, very much

Worked beautifully for me!

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?
Ive tried to connect my Hero to my laptop to use it as a modem, but it isn't working. Ive tried to enable mobile network and internetsharing. Looks like I don't have the NDIS driver. How do I fix this. I have the newest version of htc sync.
Hi Killbox,
I tried for hours and hours to get it to work and couldn't so I gave up in the end.
I tried every driver I could, everything was set up to sync properly on my phone/laptop, NDIS driver installed. No joy.
Try getting hold of the WiFi Tether .apk file and install it on your Hero.....or install Modaco's Custom Hero Rom on your phone. It has WiFi Tether included and it's a damn quick rom
It's a piece of cake to use. Once installed on your phone, fire up the app and 'Start Tethering'. Once running, see if your PC will pick it up as a wireless network point. If it does, connect to it and you should be using your phones 3G network for the internet on your PC.
Job done!

If the NDIS driver isn't loaded, you will have a device called "Android Phone" in Device Manager. You need to manually update the driver with the NDIS driver, which can be found wherever you installed HTC sync (in my case, C:\Program Files\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Vista_x86).

Dave
I tried to reinstall the driver from device manager by choosing update manually. It said the newest driver was allready installed. I tried to install Modaco, but I just got error messages so I gave up. Is it really impossible to share internet?
Works fine here with orange updated Rom, do what Dave said, as I couldn't get it to work until I went rooting around the HTC folder, 1 thing though my HTC sync never works unless I reboot my phone and sync straight after startup.
Now I have installed the Modaco rom, but it still won't work. Have tried to update the driver in the device manager without success. The tether program won't work either.
Im using PDANet 1.16 with Android for tethering, works flawlessly, give it a try.
Hi,
Has anyone been able to do usb tethering in CM7 on Windows xp? I am getting issue of unknown drivers. I have htc sync (latest) installed. Not sure where else can I find the drivers.
Anyone please.
Usb tethering worked fine for me on stock eclair rom. Couldn't get it working on cm :-(

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!

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)
hello, i got new problem, is there any chanse to use my PCs internet (it's not wireless!) on my android hd2 via USB cable ....
Yes, you can do reverse tethering (although I have never tried).
Reverse tethering works best, apparently, on ubuntu linux: http://blog.mycila.com/2010/06/reverse-usb-tethering-with-android-22.html
hey, thx for this, but i dont understand this, what is USB Tethering, setting the 'bridge' up, how to do this, can i have some ... 'details' pls )) .
Which step are you stuck on, and are you on linux?
well.... im not on Linux, im on Windows 7, anyway, i found out what is USBTethering, but when i check that (i have drivers installed from SDK) nothing heppens, i dont know what to do, i dont know how to 'bridge'
step 2:
Connect USB cable and activate USB Tethering. You should see on linux or windows a new network interface. ---> where the hell is 'new network interface' -.-

Hi,
Does your phone connect to pc when you plug in usb cable?
Does your pc have latest version of WMDC?
This contains the drivers for successful connection.
If (And only if) you're using a Desire HD rom then just plug in your USB cable, choose "Internet Pass-through", let windows install the drivers (W7), enjoy internet on your device.
But if you're using another rom, follow the other advices from our fine members
Well.... my phone is connected with cable, im using windows7 ... all drivers are installed i got HTC dream composite ADB interface in control panel in 'android phone' device detected. im trying to USB thetering...but problem is that i still dont have internet acces from my pc, to my phone. i installed wired tether via my VPN ... but still i dont know what to do ... can someone pls explain ....
even i wanted to know how to do this
i am using windows 7
my hd2 android(rom: angel death v1.4) gets connected with pc but in network and sharing centre it shows "no access to internet".
i am having ethernet connection on pc.
Hi everyone i'm trying to use the reverse tether app with my NexusHD2 2.4. The app seems legit but the problem is located to the device drivers.
I'm running Windows 7 ultimate x64. Currently my device is recognized as Android Composite ADB interface
Even normal tethering is not connecting and i get a usb fail.
i've read that i need the Remote NDIS based internet sharing device driver to work i was unable to find one working.
Is there anyone solved this problem. If yes please provide the appropriate drivers.
Thanks a lot
p.s. Yes, i really really need usb reverse tethering and no there it to possibility to share through wifi.
I think that unfortunately currently is not possible to do that, but if you use the search maybe you can find some help.
