8525 Tethering in Vista - USB Modem Unknown

Setup: Stock Cingular 8125 WM5, Vista Home Premium 32bit
I've had no problem with in the past getting my Cingular 8525 to tether with any XP machine. However, Vista is proving to be even more worthess than XP as I imagined it would. WMDC works fine a side from it too being even more worthless than it's predecessor, as I can't even remote sync over a secure VPN anymore.
I have read and installed the drivers located both:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=288753
and
http://www.terranettech.net/DisplayPg.aspx?codeid=1128
Neither works solution...
With WMDC disabled I activate the Wireless Modem connection. Vista detects a new USB device at that point and starts looking for a driver.
It comes back saying it could not find a driver, and I click a button to specifically tell it what driver to use. I've tried both drivers listed in both URLs. Neither are accepted. I'm told "The folder specified does not contain a compatible software driver for your device."
For the record, the driver on the CD didn't work either (different message, something along the lines of "failed to install driver").
If I go into Device Manager and "Update Driver" (no driver is installed, Update is used whether no driver yet or really updating) and let Vista try to find it itself it says "The best driver for your device is already installed.", which is "Unknown Device".
Any ideas? I've seen people claiming they got their 8525 to tether with Vista using the modified driver. On my end it does not work though.

No ideas? Is there another place I should post this instead?

this may help
For anyone having trouble getting their laptop to recognize the 8525 as a modem this may be the solution.

my phone was working fine but when I tried to set my wife's up to tether it wouldn't show new hardware found when plugged in and when I tried to manually install the driver the process box just kinda stalled out and wouldn't go forward with the driver even though I had browsed to the right one. I had to uninstall the driver which was viewing the phone as a serial device. if you're having this trouble then try following the link above...

HTC RNDIS Driver For ICS

I put this together using the generic drivers available at Microsoft. Couldn't find a driver elsewhere.

I tested it with my 8525 and Windows XP. Works fine except the Internet Sharing application on the 8525 will not disconnect after a USB connection is made. Don't think this is an issue with the driver. Please test and post any comments here.

No Start
Installing on a Dell Inspiron 6000, I get three dings and in device manager -> HTC USB Remote NDIS Network Device -> Properties -> General

Same problem on my diamond
hello,
i've got an error code 10 when i've install XDA driver on XP SP2.
using a diamond ROM official FR from provider SFR.
Active sync must be install for working ?
thanks

sry to bring this dead post back alive, but... what does that do? i tried to install it by right clicking the .inf file and choosing install, but it shows up question mark in device manager.

This still works great. I have an HTC Incredible and Vista x86.
When it asks you to find a driver, select that you have a disk and point it to the .inf

Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device Driver

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

Driver works on Magic 32A with SuperD 1.5.1, WinXP SP2.
Thank you very, very much

Worked beautifully for me!
Worked great 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.

"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?

Windows 7 x64 USB Tethering

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.

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.

[Q] Problem with ZTE modem driver

Hi everyone
I installed Win8 a day ago.
However, I got in problem when I tried to configure my wireless internet, ZTE modem.
Device manager recognized "unknown devices", I installed all drivers needed, tried to add them manually, but no success.
I rollback to Windows 7.
Anyone has some tips?

you need to install with troubleshoot compatibility (right click on the file install).
but, then, metro apps don't work...
I will be happy, if someone can help whit that...
(sorry about the english)

Same problem here....

Anybody worked it out yet?
Tried to install the drivers only, but it didn't work

i found a way to install zte modem drivers.. its actually there in windows update... u just need alternate internet connection... I used wifi while connecting my usb modem to my windows 8 laptop... then just go to device manager and right click on all devices which show driver error and select update driver... when prompted, select automatically find best drivers... it will install the correct drivers... but u'll need separate internet connection for a while to do this...

ii tried it.. but somehow it didn't work out. since i found out that i'm not limited in bandwith i'm tethering

You can try the driver used to install the software to automatically update
