[Q] Samsung Kies 1.5.3= No Tether?!

Just last night I tried to tether my phone to the computer via kies. And to my disbelief.. it simply says "This device is not supported by Tethering".
I have had this tethering to work many times before, the only change I can think of is that I recently got an OTA update for the gps fix and now everything stopped working??!
Anyone knows how to make this work again?... and please without rooting the phone if possible
Thanks,
Tim

I cant believe that anyone is NOT having the same problems as me!
Any good news?

Because we simply and safely rooted and flashed Mobile AP. Kies and Kies tethering kinda stunk. Sorry.

Unfortunately you're right. I have 1.5.1 on one computer and 1.5.3 on another - the latter won't allow me to tether. There is a thread floating around about how to setup the phone as a modem and tether for free without an app - sorry, I don't remember where, but I found it earlier this week and it worked great.

Hey thanks for the little glee of hope!
Ill start looking for that app ASAP, could you also try to find that too?
Thanks again,

Tethering without root:
Install the Samsung Drivers
Turn on Android USB Debugging mode on the phone or put USB into Kies mode. In Android Debugging mode you can use your phone while it's plugged in (but you can't access the internet from the phone when it's tethered) but you can't use your phone in Kies mode (there is the MTP app screen blocking everything.)
Create a new Dialup connection using the SAMSUNG Android USB modem. Phone number is *99#, username and password can be anything, including blank
Go to modem properties, and enter at+cgdcont=1,"IP","epc.tmobile.com" into the extra initialisation commands
Dial

You sir are a genius. Running Windows 7 Pro 32bit and this worked great for me after Kies failed to allow tethering.

Hi Chui,
I try this last method and still getting the error 777. What am I doing wrong? My computer recognized my phone and all the drivers has been install successfully. Do I need another drivers? What Samsung Drivers are you talking about? I just got my phone back from TMO since it crash when I try to updated it. Please help me and thanks!

[Q] Cannot connect in MTP mode anymore. Tried a lot, still no solution...

Hello everyone.
I don't know since when or how, since it has been always working for me on my win7 desktop, but when I tried to connect my phone to a new Latptop (with win8) during the holidays at home, it wouldn't detect it as an MTP device.
Well, it doesn't recognise it at all, unless I put it in debug mode, then it's under unknown devices as "Nexus 4" with a failed driver installation.
But I need to get MTP working to back some things up.
I'm running AOKP's Milestone for 4.3 and franco's kernel 193.
I checked if fastcharge was enabled: No
Switched it on and back off: Nothing
Reflashed the Kernel: Nothing
Reflashed AOKP (including the stock Kernel): Still not recognised
Of course several reboots included. Tried all slots and different cables. The cables tested all work for my N7 on Kitkat.
I had issues before with franco's kernel not really disabling fastcharge when I clicked it but I managed to fix that by rebooting or switching it back on and off again. Also this doesn't really give me any clues as I reflashed AOKP which comes with a different kernel that doesn't even support fast charge..
I'm kind of clueless now, I urgently need to back up things from my phone which I now did via Airdroid, but I also need to get MTP back working for bigger files.
Thank you very much for your help!
It would be nice if someone had a suggestion before I try going back to stock.

turn off driver signature verification(ask google how to do)
install universal naked drivers.
there you go

Will it then only be recognised in debug mode? Or normal as well? Since it doesn't even appear in device manager right now when in regular USB mode

I had this problem. Try deleting all android drivers and MTP drivers from your PC using USBDeview (google it). Also try connecting to a different PC to see if the phone can connect at all. Finally, you may need to unlock the lock screen before attaching. After that it connects no problems!

USBDeview did the trick. Thanks a lot.

MTP Mode not working

Hey,
So I got my D802 today and I want to do the whole Root, Recovery, ROM shenanigans.
But for the love of god I cant connect the phone in MTP mode, so I cant Root, nor install a recovery.
I cant connect to the LG PC Suite either.
Any Ideas?

what connection type are u choosing after plugging it into the computer? are u running Windows, Mac, Linux? Windows will work with mtp out of the box but I think Mac and Linux need phone drivers installed. Windows will need drivers when you're ready to "unlock" using adb.

Right, so I´m running Win7 64 Bit
I tried multiple USB Ports, rebooting PC and Phone, resetting Phone and now i´m all out of ideas
I never had any problems with the other phones I rooted and unlocked on this Computer

when you first plug in your phone it gives you the option to install the drivers needed to connect in the different modes, if not on the top right corner of the menu with charge/mtp/pc software it should have the option to install the drivers

you never said what connection type you're choosing on the phone after plugging it in. there are a few options and change how the phone is seen by Windows. some options won't have it display as an mtp device or as a drive letter in my computer.

Usb cable problem?

Try toggle usb debugging

Really Weird
I'm having the same issue. I'm running OptimusG3 v1.3, I've never had an issue with it before, I used MTP to transfer files yesterday, worked flawlessy, now it won't. I was trying to map the G2 as a network drive, I installed LGPCSuite, a couple of other software that should be inconsequential, and suddenly my phone says connected as MTP, but my laptop won't recognize or show the device in My Computer. I get installing device drivers prompts, I used the hardware and devices troubleshooter which told me 'LGE Android MTP Device has a driver problem' and LGE Mobile USB Modem has a driver problem. Reinstall device driver -> completed, but still not fixed. I installed LG's universal uSB tool or whatever, no fix. I have no idea wth is up (It's not a USB debugging accidental toggle either). I'll try uninstalling PCSuite. I though it would be more useful

[Q] usb mtp wont stay enabled what to do what to do

Im having an issue with my phone connecting to computer. I'm trying to get back to stock but have no way in getting into odin without usb. I think their is a problem with something on the phone it isn't a pc or cable problem. I also had a new flex port recently installed. My phone will charge when connected to computer but it will not sync nor even recognized by device manager. I cant find any info anywhere with this issue. I try to enable mtp through hidden menu using *#0808# but it wont stay enabled resets after reboot. I also cant find menu under settings for usb. There use to be a menu in storage but it seems like its not there anymore. im on beans 4.4.2 nc4 with nc2 bootloader. can't find a solution nowhere.

I have the same problem, been trying to search online for few days, can't find the solutions.

Try dl'g the Sammy drivers directly from here and just click on the "See all Downloads", click "Send" and save the .exe file.
Run it as administrator, and once complete, plug in phone and that should correct the pc to phone issue.

Enable developer mode (tap on settings, about and then tap on the build number 7 times to enable developer mode).
Then back to settings, developer options and turn on usb debugging.

. I have original VZ driver installed. and i tried running as admin
Already tried this. On multiple computers. It's not a driver problem it has to do with something that happen after flashing to the leaked kitkat. I flashed beans kitkat and firmware through odin and since then wasnt able to connect to computer via usb. I read somewhere you could flash back to mje but not sure if i could do that without odin. I covered all the basics including enabling developer mode etc.... Kies doesn't work either and that was suppose to be bullet proof. I vaguely remember something similar happening when we got Root de la Vega some people lost usb after flashing and couldn't odin back but cant find that thread with what they did to fix it.

Do you mean through hidden menu or should there be an app on the phone? I didn't disable it i tried to enable it through hidden menu because it wasn't working but it just resets after rebooting the phone. Also there use to be a menu in storage under settings i could get to but it no longer exists. If you go into settings- storage- it should be a button in the top right corner of your screen which leads you into settings for mtp but it's not there.

I too am having this issue... it is quite frustrating. I rooted using towel root and that worked fine up until the beginning of September then USB was gone gone gone!. I was thinking of just doing a factory-restore of my phone, but I am not sure that is possible with having Towel rooted my phone. I just don't know what steps to take. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

i am going to the local verizon store today and if they can not fix this, then i see no reason for me to continue to pay for my phone. there obviously is something wrong with all these phones that people are complaining about. i have been on the phone with verizon and samsung for HOURS. i now am a pro at knowing what's wrong but no one can help me. It does not stay in MTP mode or PTP and goes back to charging. this is a phone problem that should not even exsist. plug your phone in, upload pics. has anyone gotten verizon to replace the phone????that's my goal today

It takes two to tango; how do you know the problem is not the PC?
Older versions of stock software actually put the phone in Airplane Mode when you were using USB 3.0, and had an inactivity timer or something that would turn the USB link off after a while. That didn't happen if you were operating on a USB 2.0 link.
So, if your PC has any non-USB 3.0 ports (the connector will not be blue) you could try using a USB 2.0 port.
Sometimes intermittent behavior is caused by bad cabling or a damaged connector, so a second thing to try is using a replacement cable and/or alternate ports. (Don't buy bargain basement eBay $2 cables btw - you will get what you pay for)
good luck

Is this a phone that you flashed a custom rom, rooted, or unlocked the bootloader?

Reformat computer or try different computer

Assuming, you have no problem with your USB port, USB cable, installed latest LG USB Driver 4.0.4, running Windows 7 or 10...
We need more detailed info from your part to tackle this problem. Are you running on stock rom, kitkat or lollipop? Are your rooted and do you have TWRP recovery?
Then, you need to disable "USB debugging" from the "Developer options" menu. Then replug your USB cable and you can now select MTP instead of charging only mode. Good luck.

i have fought the no mtp problem and everytime i lost. if you try new things they just dont work. what has worked was to reformat computer then it will work..

I had the same problem with my G2. Unknown usb device, and the error was: "unable to get device descriptor" or something similar. Tried all software solution without success, so i have started to looking for hardware defect. I've changed the usb module, but no success. So, as a last chance, tried another mainboard. And "tadaaaa"... That was the problem. So, start to look for a working g2 with cracked screen, as i did.
