Hello there!
Since the most recent guide thread ((that I found) [GUIDE] USB Reverse Tethering - New method) does is quite
complicated for many and requires root and for the sake of simplicity, I wanted to present a simpler alternative
to you here in a separate thread, which works without root and is not outdated.
If this violates any XDA rules, please close the thread.
-This method works 100% on Android 9. For other versions you need to check.
-Very useful for people whose wifi module is broken (like mine x.x)
I will attach the .zip here as well as pictures for a better understanding.
Requirements are:
-A working USB connection
-USB debugging enabled.
-A Windows computer
-adb
First, of course, we need to unzip the .zip.
In this case it doesn't matter where.

Second, we need to open the console and go to the path of the extracted .zip
CD path\to\gnirhtet-rust-win64
Third, we press tab 2 times in the cmd, space, write install and press enter.
When that's finished, we press tab again twice, space and write run and press enter.
Alternatively, if "gnirehtet" is already installed, you can use the .bat, provided in the .zip to start it.
That's it! You got reverse usb tethering!
thank you for sharing, i followed the steps but didn't succeed in getting internet
i think you should mention having adb in systempath or just extract your program in adb directory
my steps were
get adb fastboot and extract it
get your program extracted inside adb directory
start cmd normally without admin rights
execute first command in your post to install ( returned success)
execute second command ( returnt 1 at the end ) but no internet
Code:
2022-07-30 00:41:44.389 ERROR Main: Cannot start client: Command adb ["reverse",
"localabstract:gnirehtet", "tcp:31416"] returned with value 1
i should am running AOSP 7.1
**solved
i report it working on AOSP 7.1
solution = use an up-dated version of adb-tools

The problem im facing is that im able to use the internet but the apps are not detecting it as an actual connection and showing no internet. Is there any way we can emulate or fake our wifi or mobile data is turned on and connected?

I think that's a problem of the application, which wants a specific connection e.g. wifi or mobile data.

This should be no problem.
It was creating the problem but then I just reflashed whole stock ROM and bam my phone is better than before
working thank you for this program.
You may also check the re-link app at https://re-link.io, as it doesn't even need ADB on Windows, making it safer to use

Activesync? How would you do it? Through file explorer or something?
I'm doing it by standard means of Windows.
Yeah, just enter your share's name on your device. The built in file explorer will do it, but I prefer Resco.

Can you not Active Sync via wifi then??
I have wifi but never tried it
I don't think so.
I don't know for sure as I don't use Activestink. (It will not run on my computer)
When I was using AS and the built in file explorer I didnt see an option to look in My Network? Do I need to configure anything? The furthest "Up" I could get to was My Device
I dont understand how to get to My Network? Anyone?
How do you connect to your networked PCs?
Hey how did you connect to your networked PC? I have Total Commander and have tried setting up the network neighborhood through that to no avail Can you access the network neighborhood via the built in file viewer?! If so how?
Thanks, Jess
BTW, Microsoft disabled ActiveSync via wifi in version 4 due to complaints of security, etc. Try 3.8 I believe that was the last version that supported sync over wifi. (Although I have not tried it)
Im not sure how to setup a network with my phone? Anyone know how to do this? Please?! Thanks!
Sorry to go on but... Anyone?
I think I need to set up a network on my computer so the phone can connect to it? Yes? No?
This works for me:
My Computer
Computer name: pchome
Create a folder on you PC for example "PocketPC" and share this folder!
PocketPC
Using TotalCommander in this example.
- Open TotalCommander
- Double click "\\" It should be above "Application Data".
- Double click "LAN"
- Double click "< new server >
- Enter "pchome" -> "OK"
- Press "OK" again
Now it should show pchome on your screen.
When you double click it it should show you your shared folders
Hmmm, that looks good I will have to try this when I get home.
To share a folder you just right click it and tick the share box or something dont you?
Correct
I cant get it to work ?
I followed all those steps... Hmmmmmmmmm, just coming up no files in the folder
I followed the same steps, even have other folders that are shared... still not working... hmm
Thanks, Jess
i've firstly root.ok.n then xrecovery.ok..but then when i want to enable JIT following this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877565,
my phone suddenly can't connect to wifi.and then the xrecovery cant be perform...and other things,how can i perform this operation?
(1: enable JIT (in a termnial or adb shell)
cd adb
adb shell
su
cd /sdcard/JiT-toggle-0.1
sh enable_jit.sh)
i connect the phone to pc an enable debug mode,run cmd,but pc says cant detect..watsoever..
can anyone help me?
If you followed all instructions for JIT and your wifi doesn't work means it wasn't the correct version of Busybox. I recommend you to install Titanium Backup hit Problems? and install busybox. Then, when you copy all files for JIT, don't copy busybox, because you have already the latest one. It should work. It happend to me, too. The nasty part is that you need to repair your Android with PcCompanion/ SEUS.
do i need to repair my phone first with pc companion or repeat again the step?
n how to run cmd?do i need to enable debug?i dont know how to do this instruction,1: enable JIT (in a termnial or adb shell)
cd adb
adb shell
su
cd /sdcard/JiT-toggle-0.1
sh enable_jit.sh
Well, if you have your phone rooted with superoneclick, then you got adb.exe. You need to access that folder into cmd. ex : c:\superoneclick\ and then with the phone connected (usb debug enabled) you can enter commands like adb shell and su. Try it. But wifi and xrecovery malfunctions are symptoms that something went wrong. Eventually repair with PcCompanion. Good Luck.
when i run the command prompt,it says 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file..is this because i didnt rooted my phone well?
Do you have adb.exe? Or superoneclick for root?
yeah.i have both.i downloaded superoneclick and inside ithave adb.exe..but when i click adb.exe,nothing happened.just a temporary command prompt about 2second and then its appeaered..
now open start-run->cmd and go to that folder. And only there you can run "adb shell".
So, in cmd you must be in that folder in order to input all commands.
go to that folder?what do u mean?open cmd from the folder?or open cmd and click to the folder?
sorry for the noob question..

This should look like. using commands like " cd .." to exit folder and use ' cd "name of folder" ' to enter one. it should work.
thank god.finally i know how to run command.thanks a lot redpik
guys..help me.how am i to solve this command error?
Please follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877565 .
If you connect your phone to computer, make sure not to mount the sdcard. So, click on USB CONNECTION and select TURN OFF from the status bar. Make sure you have SUPERUSER application installed to grant access.
If it helps you, please consider pressing Thanks button.
sorry redpik..
i got big probs.. my homescreen and apps icon become smaller and i dont know whats going on.
is it brick or something else?
i try to use pc companion and seus,but it keep saying no update for my phone..
seriously,this small icon thing make me crazy..
I don't know what's with the screen, shouldn't have happened. Seus says no update, but Repair button is active so you can make it brand new. Then try again rooting and jit.
The purpose of this program is to make my life easier when developing on the Android Platform. At he same time it may also make your life easier. I would like to keep this project totally open source and I include all of the source files withing the .zip that it comes in. What does this program do? It will allow you to flash custom ROMs straight from your computer, fast and hassle-free.
In this new version, I have done a ton of error/big fixes, rewrote quite a lot, and finally added wiping functionality. Enjoy!
Infiniflash REQUIRES that your device has ClockworkMod Recovery or any recovery that supports /cache/recovery/extendedcommand.
By the way, if you can think of a better name/icon for this program, please, please, please tell me.

I have a DHD as well and had the same issue. You must install the driver for it to work on your device.
1) Visit this link to download and install HTC Sync (which contains the driver): http://goo.gl/P3ZP1
2) After installation plug your device in.
3) To verify you have the driver, open the Infiniflash folder, hold the shift key and right click on the tools folder. Click open command prompt.
4) Now type in the command: adb devices
5) If your device showed up, it worked! Otherwise, try restarting or syncing your phone in HTC Sync, it should start working eventually.
6) Now that you have the driver, Infiniflash will *hopefully* work from now on.
Best of luck
Cheers.

This looks awesome, and I would use it but is there a different button for wiping to ext 4 and 3? All the roms I seem to switch between use different formats.
Thanks

By wiping to ext3 & ext4 do you mean formatting the /system partition to one of those formats? If so I might be able to implement it or make an add-on . By the way, which device requires you to do that? I've never heard of that before... are you sure it's a requirement?
Oops Double Post.

Thank you very much! I think I'll port it over soon, but the only bad part about that is that I have no idea how to make GUI's in Linux so it would be command line only .
It's funny that you mention that though because I'm a Linux user myself and never really thought about it.
Hi I am new to this forum and I'm not an expert, I really would like to use the webtop without a dock,i tried following the instructions posted here but nothing happens, I don't know what am I missing. Am I supposed to run the install file on my computer or on my phone? When I run it on my computer a black screen appears and some command and then I says to press any key and that my phone will reboot, but nothing happens. Am I supposed to do something to my phone?
I'm on att gingerbread, not rooted, I enabled debugging mode.
Thank you
You need to root and probably deodex
sent from my Atrix via XDA premium
You are probably right, but why then on Fenny's post it says no root or deodex needed??
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980193

you run the script from your computer but your phone has to be connected and have all the right drivers on your computer

ok connect your phone to hyhour computer and make sure the computer knows it is connected
then run the script
good advice
If I were you I'd be VERY CAREFUL and investigate and learn all you can BEFORE doing any mods on your phone. Too many phones have been bricked (rendered useless) by running things you know little about.
I did that but the doesn't do anything, it doesn't reboot like it says on the script. I know it's connected because when I enable debugging I see the pop up screen for the internal memory and the sd card
Thanks for your concern I really appreciate it.what I like about this is that doesn't require root
Root
Hi
I also had exactly the same problem.
I wanted webtop, without really rooting my device.
It didnt work out. Also ran the script no reboot etc.
I then rooted my device, Fenny assisted me to create 2 files for the stock 2.2.2 atrix 4g (The older version of the os)
I copied them manually using root explorer, rebooted, and walla, i had the webtop working.
I still have those files.....
If you need them, PM me, its worth a try...
Android Wear APK Tools:
A GUI application which allows you to install any APK straight to your watch (via adb) or uninstall any non-protected package directly. Much more convenient than doing it through the adb command line.

Doesnt work for me.
I opened it, clicked connect to watch, then it told me that it has connected, i can see the list of all the apps that i have installed on my phone. But android wear doesnt tell me that its connected.
I tried to uninstall an app, then it gave me an error. Then i tried installing an app, and it just stayed on "installing app, please wait" for a very very long time.
So, apparently you must have ADB already on the system path or in the main directory of this application and it must be accessible with the command "adb"
I am experiencing similar errors with the app. It tells me I am connected to my watch. I can't see any apps on the list. When trying to install an app it stops on "Installing app, Please wait..."
root required?
Does this require that the Android Wear device be rooted?
