[Q] Usb tethering a pc - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all,
I am having a problem sharing my evos internet with my HP pc using W7 via usb connection. I plug phone in and choose usb tethering than a pop up comes up asking to install drivers. I try but than it asks for the cd that came with the phone (which I dont have). I tried to search for the drivers online but it doesn't work. It won't let me connect to the web. We tried it on my friends pc using my phone and it worked fine even though the same pop up showed up on hers. Chose option to ask me later and it connected to the web right away! Any ideas? Btw my evo is rooted ruining myn's rls5.

Try installing HTC Sync on your computer . . once installed, you can remove the HTC Sync program itself, leaving behind the drivers and driver install program . . . see if that fixes it for you . . .

I'm pretty sure I already had HTC sync installed but but I will check after work today......

Just went thru this 2 days ago trying to setup my laptop.
1.Plug your phone in and turn on USB Tethering
2.Then right click on my computer then manage and see what drivers it is looking for
3.See if it is looking for Remote NDIS Internet Sharing Drivers
4.Go to this webpage and download these drivers http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445436
5.Unzip and update drivers
Hopefully this works for you. The only problem I have had is on AOSP kernels ending in .8 there are no drivers for RNDIS so USB Tethering is a problem.
Secondly if that does not work then download PDANet its free for 30 days and has all the drivers you need. Also works better than stock USB Tethering

Thanks a lot, will try it out.......

Ok, I finally got it to work! Tried so many things that I really dont know which did it but it finally installed the drivers when I plugged up the phone and its working now. THANKS all

no drivers found for HTC modem or HTC DIAG

I plugged my incredible into my windows 7 x64 laptop and set it to run as mobile broadband connect and my computer found and installed all the drivers except HTC DIAG and HTC modem,does anybody know if there are just no drivers available for it yet or is there a specific sit to download them from. the old HTC usb modem drivers arent working that I had from all my other HTC phones. easy tether works but I just want to plug it in and hit connect.
Go to vzam.net to download the Verizon Access Manager for the mobile broadband. I iinstalled and successfully connected but, I need to change my plan around to unlock the mobile broadband. If you try to go anywhere in a web browser once you're connected you'll be taken to a Verizon page stating that your plan needs the mobile broadband option.
You can also snag the HTC Sync software for the Eris on HTC website. Drivers there work fine for the incredible.
I plugged by 8GB Micro SD card into the incredible and it loaded HTCSYNC on the card. When plugged in I selected Hard Drive instead of Sync and opened up the Drive to the SD and the software was there. I installed it and the drivers all worked.
Waste of money. They want an additional $25/mo on-top of the $30/mo you already need to pay.
Verizon = Profiteering Gluttons
Yeah Pdanet right now till others root this bad boy
and then back to wired/wireless tether again
HTC DIAG Drivers
I looked a lot at many places for the HTC DIAG drivers. Finally found them. Thanks to those who uploaded them originally.
PFA...
Hope this helps!!!

Unless you're paying for their service, which is crazy, just use EasyTether if unrooted. If you are rooted then use WiFi tether.
Both incur no monthly charge.
hi all, this topic drew me into the boards.
i am looking for a modem driver for my eris, win7 64bit. anybody know where i can find one? i do have the My HTC driver showing up in the AndroidUSB Devices category, but i need to pull the device through a modem slot, so i can connect a com port to be specific.
note, i tried in install the vista64 driver above, but i didnt get far. the nearest i got was to right click on the computer in the top of the device list, and add legacy hardware, go to have disk, select the driver, but nothing showed up in the list. i can try to install it with the command prompt rundll32.exe setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 0 c:\Temp_Folder_Path\driverXXX.inf, assuming it will work for this type of driver, but i wanted to consult here first to see if i can find the proper driver, and a recommened method.
link no good
Heres a good link to all the drivers for ADB, HTC Modem, HTC Diag, and Qualcom Diag. http://dinc.does-it.net/Drivers/ADB_Modem_HTC-Diag_Qualcom-Diag_DRIVERS.zip

Win7 x64 and recovery (no connection to phone)

Hey folks,
been searching and searching without any luck so far, trying to find a solution to my phone not being reconzied if i put it in recovery (volD+boot, back+power), windows sees it fine if i open the phone normally and connect it to the pc.. and i can use the ADB shell to detect it
# ../../..: adb devices
but no adb connection if the phone is in volD+power or back+Power.
sometimes Windows detects the Android 1.0 in Device manager but i wont find the drivers no matter what kind/version i fetch off the interwebz and no matter where i put it. i worked once and now the connection is just broken...
i have gotten sick and tired of the fact that i cannot get paid APPS and that the phone is filled after like 10 APP installs so i decided to root specially cause there now was a fix for the brick ...
but it seems like im pretty stuck .. neither of the 2 Rooting methods work cause of the lacking connection.... barghh...
I hope my english is not to horrible for you to read...
Kind Regards
Vicster
HELP
Hi!!! i have this problem!!! Help we please!!!
I want use usb connection for tether, but driver not found or error connection.
Also got this issue, one week that I'm trying EVERYTHING
The device is well recognized by windows but the adb can't find it (it says no device found)...
Thanks a lot for the help!
Noob question. .. did u installed htc sync? It contain USB driver 4 Windows. ..
Yeah. I have installed HTC sync and the drivers, and i have downloaded the exctracted drivers and tried to point android 1. 0 to Them, but all w7 does is tell me that it did not find any drivers for the device.
Install the leatest HTC Sync....
Boot the Phone normally and activate USB-Debugging.
Wait for Windows this installed the driver....
boot your phone into recovery and now you have driver...
Worked for me
Windos 7 Ultimate x64
Do not plug your phone on any kinds of USB HUBS, USB Extender cabels, Front PC USB ports, or any kind of strange PC cards with USB ports.
Also use only original HTC cabel which you got with your phone.
Plug your phone in first USB port on the motherboard closes to the mouse and keyboard.
My phone wasnt recognized by ADB while it was conected to front USB ports, but other things where working fine (Sd card browsing and copying)
Try and report back if it helps.
I plugged it with the OEM HTC cable, also installed the latest HTC Sync, with both latest HTC and Android SDK x64 drivers, it just doesn't work..
On win 7 64 too.
Motherboard asus p5k,my device is working only with the rear usb port.
Must be a question of usb amperage...
Works fine for me, W7 x64 Ultimate, but I only use Windows to get into recovery - linux to root the phone initially

[Q] USB tethering..

So i tried to do some USB tethering today.. and it would not work.. because I am running windows xp on my laptop....
with the OTA it states i need to run Vista, or higher..
anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks
It runs on XP just fine. Make sure you downloaded the CORRECT pc app, there are flavors for all the operating systems. I have XP running and it works fine on my system. There is a wireless app that also works with the G2 now and if all else fails you could do that, too...
Good Luck!
make sure you have HTC sync on your comp and it will work np
HTC sync.. just download it from HTC site?
should be nice and easy..
yep just install it and restart
plug the phone in and on the phone turn on usb tether
Is there a specific one for the g2.. or does any touch sync work for it?
yea there is hold on
err. if i find it ill post the link
try this
http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=1058&news_id=802
its for the desire z but its the same phone
G2 tethering
You got the OTA update that enables wifi calling and usb/wireless tethering, right?
On your G2 Go to Settings, Wireless & networks, Tethering & portable hotspots, Help.
Under this help guide, go to the website link for USB listed there.
Go to this website and choose "USB Tethering with Windows XP"
Download the INF file "tetherxp.inf"
On your G2 check the "USB tethering" option, and connect your G2 via USB cable to your computer. Instead of using windows to automatically seach for drivers, direct the wizard to the "tetherxp.inf" file.
This will also work for Windows 7 if your having problems tethering there.
Thanks, this worked like a charm. Hopefully it's better than PDANet, which seems to slow down my phone like crazy (whenever I run it Launcher Pro becomes unresponsive at times).

CM7 RC1 USB Tether Driver

I'm having problems with USB tether. I've kept up with the CM7 nightly's and so far none work with me when it comes down to USB tether.
I think I'm missing the drivers on my computer.
I'm running windows 7, from what I've researched, windows 7 should install the drivers automatically. When USB tether is activated on my inc, my device manager shows the driver as RNDIS. I've tried downloading countless driver updates but to no success.
Correct me if I'm wrong but the drivers needed for USB tether are different from the regular USB drivers needed to use your phone as a drive on your computer right?
Some people have had the same problem but no solution has worked for me.
HELP PLEASE!!

+1 I have the same issues with USB Tether in CM7 Nightlies. Im thinking its the new kernel?? But it will NOT recognize any driver that b4 worked for the RNIS Adapter it finds to connect. It fails to install and stays with a yellow error logo Im using PdaNet and/or easytether in the meantime.

Yeah PDANet works fine. I think it may have something to do with the kernel. Hopefully they get a fix for this.
Na its something with windows 7 XP installs the drivers just fine. Pdanet always cuts out for me after awhile.

PDAnet is rock solid for me. CM7 RC1 on DINC. Windows 7 x64 on my PC. I use PDA net for hours at a time with no problems. 14gig data last month on Verizon.
Must be something on your phone or PC if you are having problems with PDAnet.
Hi,
you just need to download Active Sync (by me it was ActiveSync 4.5) and this will automaticly install the generic rndis driver. After installing just connect your phone via USB and activate USB - tethering. (- for XP - Win7 install the driver automaticly)
Ibwished activesync worked for windows 7

[Q] USB Tethering drivers required, WinXP & CM7

Hi all,
I'm after a little help that I simply cannot find anywhere else... all other routes/searches have led me here so i'm afraid my first post is a question that hopefully someone here can help me with.
So... here goes...
I have a UK HTC Desire, running CM7.0.3.
I would like to connect it to my work laptop running Windows XP via the USB cable so that the laptop can use with the phones WiFi connection or the data connection.
The laptop has WiFi, but it's disabled via the bios and I don't have the password.
With the stock ROM, I connected the phone, put into tethering mode, installed a driver (googled off the www) and it all worked wonderfully.
With CM7 installed, the original drivers don't work and I cannot find anywhere new drivers that do.
I removed all drivers to start again on the laptop, so when i plug the phone in, the first it detects is the Android Phone and wants a driver for "My HTC". Everything I've thrown at it, windows says is incorrect
I installed the Android SDK, but my work proxy wont allow it to connect to their servers (it tries to do this automatically when searching for the usb drivers) for any drivers (which was one suggestion that Google informed me about).
I went to the HTC website to look for drivers, but they seem to have forgotten that they built the Desire completely (another fruitless Google search result).
Please can someone offer some suggestions on where I can get the drivers for USB tethering for the desire running CM7?
Much appreciated, thank you.
Regards
JBM2k.

Same issues here. Tried the SDK Drivers too, didn't work.
Strange thing is, normal USB connection is ok with the old htc driver, the issues come up when tethering option is activated: it switches to another driver (Android Phone).
Try upgrading things...ur BIOS, ur Windows etc...
