Hi,
when I connect it to the PC me appears the window of "chosen connect" but any options use, start always the option selectionated in preselesction SETTING-> USB to PC also if I check option " you ask type of logon when me connection"
sorry for my english
tahnk you
Are you trying to say that your phone always connects to your computer as a USB device even if you select something different?
Sounds like it.
I've got a similar issue, my screen is dead so I can't select anything and it comes up as a disk drive. Kinda need to get it to active sync so I can back the phone up to restore to my new one.
Without being able to see or use the screen I can't, unless there is a keyboard method to choose activesync.
when I connect htc (with USB) to PC, appears this option selection:
(whatch the image to the link)
farm3.static.flickr.com/2007/4514994648_92afa7bd15.jpg
now, if I select the option disk-drive,
don't start option disk-drive but activesync because is preselect in menu "SETTING-> USB to PC"
(whatch the image to the link)
farm5.static.flickr.com/4060/4496803689_c5ace06880.jpg
the same think if I select the option activesync but the preselect in menu "SETTING-> USB to PC" is diskdrive, start option activesync...

This is not the correct behavior.
So it seems like it works properly if you have the preselection set as "diskdrive" One option could be to just leave it set there.
A common problem though, and is probably what is giving you trouble, is the checkbox "enable faster data syncronization". Frequently, this just doesn't work out (not sure why) and the computer can not establish an active sync connection. The ppc or activesync self corrects by defaulting to a diskdrive connection.
uncheck the "enable faste data syncronization" box in settings, restart your phone and pc (verify the box is still unchecked after restart) and try the active sync again. Let us know how it goes... good luck.

Tried with the faster data box and without, mine starts active sync...which I want and need, it lasts for about one minute, then it disconnects and can no longer recognize the device unless I shut down the computer and do it again....but it just repeats this same things every time.

I tried to make a cab from those reg entries but couldn't make it install successfully...
There might be typo ("Advance" instead of "Advanced" ?) or is the cab I made not good for my machine (TP2) ?
Could anyone make OR help me make a working cab installer (without confirmation please, my "touch" screen is broken and I need it to put the original rom back before sending my TP2 back) ?
Thanks a lot
Just to resume a lot of questions regarding this subject. There is a list of steps to get your 3G data connection shared with yout PC via USB for each device.
--== HTC HD7 ==--
1. Download XAP file
2. Download the HTC USB Modem drivers
3. Deploy XAP file to your phone
4. Turn off your Data connection in your phone.
5. Run DFRouter and click on “HTC Modem”
6. If you only downloaded driver package just unzip to any folder, then Open Device Manager (recommended for Win7 64bit).
7. Find USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0EFF&REV_0000&MI_01 and force update driver with HtcUsbMdmV64 (inside unzipped folder)
8. Find USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0EFF&REV_0000&MI_00 and force update driver with HtcVComV64 (inside unzipped folder)
9. You will get two new device HTC USB Modem and HTC Diagnostic Interface (COM8)
10. Connect device to PC, open HTC USB Modem and select Advance Label
11. Add below command +cgdcont=1,”ip”,”APN”
(APN = Your carrier’s APN)
12. Create a new connection with HTC USB Modem, diag number is *99# and disabling IPV6
13.Just connect without user name and password.
============================================================
--== Dell Venue Pro ==--
1. Download the HTC USB Modem drivers
2. Edit both HtcUsbMdmV64.inf and HtcVComV64.inf files from the extracted drivers replacing the HTC device IDs with VID_05c6&PID_3199. Leave the &MI_00.
3. Go to EM(##634#), and go to Service Center, swithcing to Composite Mode. The password is *#301#.
4. After the fone reboots, install the 2 modified device drivers as you would do in HTC tutorial.
4. Continue following the HTC guide from step 9.
============================================================
--== Samsung WP7 Devices ==--
1. Download Samsung USB Drivers and install it
2. Dial ##634# then press the Call button
3. On diagnosis screen, Dial *#7284# and press Call button
4. A “Microsoft USB Test” screen will show up which allows configuration of USB Path Control settings (options available is Zune Sync; Modem, Tethered Call; and Modem, USB Diag). Select Modem, Tethered Call. The phone will restart and activate the setting. Windows will detect and install the driver from the device. A phone modem named Samsung Mobile Modem will be installed.
5. Now you can create a connection dial-up on your windows as step 9 in HTC HD7 tutorial.
============================================================
--== LG WP7 Devices ==--
1. Download LG USB Drivers and install it
2.Launch the LG phone dialer, and dial ##634#, then press the Call button to bring up a list of applications under the screen title of “MFG”.
3.When asked to input password, enter 277634#*# to unlock the password-protected MFG.
4.Turn off the data connection in Settings -> Network Mobile.
5.Start MFG and go to the USB Switching option in Menu Engineer -> Port Setting.
6.Select the QC COMPOSITE and validate.
7.The phone will automatically restart to activate the setting.
8.Connect the phone to PC with a USB cable.
9.Windows should automatically detect the Windows Phone 7 and install driver from the device. A phone modem named LGE CDMA USB Modem will be installed.
10.Edit or configure the LGE CDMA USB Modem settings or properties, and add in additional parameter in the string (change APN for your APN name):
+CGDCONT=1,"IP","orange"
11.Manually create a new dial-up connection that uses the LG USB modem with phone number to dial as * 99 # as HTC HD7 tutorial.
============================================================
While tethering via USB, the synchronization with Zune software may not be working. In this case, just disconnect the USB cable and connect over Wi-Fi connection to sync up with Zune software. And the disclaimer is that the hack violates most mobile carrier’s terms of service, and may cost users a lot of money for overage charge if they’re on limited data plan.
Also, I didn't tested all devices cause I just have a HTC HD7 and all information here was a compilation from some blog bosts I found over the web. I hope moderators can stick it somewhere so people can stop creating new posts regarding this subject 'cause I'll keep this post updated and, when the WIFI/BT/Cableless tethering comes UP, I'll update it here.
I hape it help. Enjoy it.
Best regards...
Gutemberg
thanks this is great but we need internet connection sharing over usb, bt, or wifi
when our carriers can see us dialing up and charge us, well that is just not right
and i will not stand for it, nor will i pay for it lol

Yep, I still working on figure out how to do this. If there is a way to open a socket on the phone and listen on some ports, I can quickly do that.
Also, you will only be billed from your carrier if you dont have a illimited data plan. At least, I'm not charged from nothing and run just fine.
Thanks a lot for compiling all this information and getting it to us. One question though. Do you have to update drivers on each pc you want to tether with? Also, think the link to the HTC USB Drivers is wrong
I've been following this thread for two days now (in the HD2 WP7 forum, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922000) but so far I'm not able to get my HD7 going with 3G tethering (always return error code of 692 despite me having to turn off the data connection in phone and having forced update the two drivers from HTC Sync for Android).
See if anyone else can get it going on HD7...
same here cannot download the second file...

Yes, every PC that you are connecting the phone, you will need the USB driver. And sorry about the link. I already fixed it.

Okay, just to report back, it is now working properly. After some messing around - by not enabling (unchecking) the dial-up properties of IPV6 (so left with IPV4), connectivity went through flawlessly.
thanks everyone!
Awesome.
i have dialed up with my cell before (through windows on my htc diamond) and i was charged. telus sucks yes i know. i have not tried with my lg optimus but i bet they can see...
whats my telus APN name?
+cgdcont=1,"IP","telus" ???
ill test this and report back
The APN field is you APN name configured on your device. Not the APN Address.
In my case here in Brazil it is "TIM CONNECT FAST" so my command should be +cgdcont=1,"IP","TIM CONNECT FAST"

Good! Let me update with this results
I'm stumped. Tried the APN address, the APN names, with data on/off, with APN in the cellular settings and without, IPV6 off etc. and nothing. Perhaps it's a T-Mobile US problem? Because I've tried the APN names "T-Mobile" and "T-Mobile US" and still get the 692 error...Any suggestions?
Ok. Now this is weird. I did nothing differently except I accidentally clicked USB Sync before I clicked HTC Modem on DFRouter and the connection went through. Hmm...
Success
Finally i got it working on my HTC-HD7 (Windows 7 x64 Prof).
The one thing a would like to add is I configured the "PPP" settings in the adapter settings (let ony LCP checked) but i don't think this was the breakthrough.
After some play-around in settings (PPP on pc for example, disable Wifi/Wlan on phone) I managed to get the Error "668" instead of "692", also data connection was disabled. Restarting the phone made it work!
Just make sure to have the right driver installed and restart your phone after disabling the data connection that helped for me!
Remember to disable IPv6.
I use the "*99#" number and +cgdcont=1,"ip","internet"
for o2 germany apn
Edit: Let the default COM port.. I didn't change the COM port and it works now.. If you changed then delete the devices from device manager and start from the beginning
good luck
reddragon
how is everyone dialing *99#? are you calling using your computer or your dialpad on WP7's?
t-mobile us settings hd7
alright after a lot of hours trying here and there i finally set up my connection from tmobile hd7 usa.
on the advance tab (to get there after installing the drivers and device on usb modem mode go to to device manager then modems then right click usb modem then properties then advance tab) put there copy and paste +cgdcont=1,"IP","wap.voicestream.com"
then go to settings on your phone, celullar, data connection off, go down add apn
apn

You dial with your computer, where you set up the dial up connection.
Aditionaly for everyone with 32Bit Systems (like me...) who have troubles finding the drivers, take these from this post:

I already tried this but didn't work
pand gave some error "Failed to open control socket: Address family not supported.........."
then I thought this error may be due to lack of bluetooth module.so I compiled "bluetooth.ko" and loaded.
then the error disappeared but the thing didn't worked..
I think my bluetooth device is not detected by the module because '/sys/class/bluetooth' directory was empty
So still now i am seeking for a solution....

Well it actually is not impossible. I already had it working.
But your phone shouldn't have any issues with BLUETOOTH PAN profile. If having any issues maybe don't expect this to work. And it need not have mobile internet for both phone or PC. Its just phone-to-pc direct connection, no need for internet access point. Lets think there is no mobile internet enabled for the below HOW-to.
Ok here u go. Pair your phone and PC. Initiate BT PAN connection from PC to phone (right click on bluetooth device and select connect-via-access-point). This creates a local connection. Now u need to know local IP address on phone side. Install terminal emulator application and issue the command "netcfg" which lists all connections active. Note the IP address of the connection bnep0 (say ww.xx.yy.zz)
Now open your PC Command prompt and type the command
adb connect ww.xx.yy.zz:5555
it says connected. Enjoy.
Same goes for wireless connection through LOCAL WIFI (WLAN) without internet access point.
Lets think mobile internet is off.
Turn on the portable Wifi Hotspot on the android device and make ur PC to connect to that hotspot. Note down the local ip address of the connection. Then open pc command prompt and type same command as above
adb connect ww.xx.yy.zz:5555
connected . enjoy.
IMPORTANT: First of all u need to enable ADB OVER NETWORK option in phone. This option is present in latest roms like cm7.2 or cm9 or ics roms. If this option is not available u need to find terminal alternatives for this.
Noob here.
Is there any detail guide to do this ???
So, here it goes.
My goal is to connect to a network using certain MAC address. Wanted network is marked with "open" and I know that it allows access only to certain devices (according to MAC) on which the administrator have gave a permission to. Once your MAC passes the verification, device gets connected to the network and then I'm asked to enter username and password through WEB browser (well known for me, because it is a procedure that I do on my other device, as well as all my colleagues do).
For example, I was allowed to provide one personal MAC address to administrator to connect to this network. I would like to set the MAC address of my other personal device and set it on my I9195 so that I can access the same network.
So, what have I done so far: I9195 is rooted, it has Android 4.2.2 on it and Busybox installed. I have changed MAC on it using following apps: MacChanger (blue WIFI logo), MAC Address Ghost (green ghost logo), using Android Terminal Emulator commands and via MAC Spoofer (black circle with green text logo). What can I conclude: As soon as superuser has granted the access to these apps, all of them manage to change the MAC. I've done the verification using Terminal Emulator. I also have to add that the MAC remains original if viewed from WIFI advanced menu BUT this shouldn't be an issue because:
1.) Colleague of mine is using his S4 (rooted etc.), while using MAC Address Ghost that does not change the original address (viewed from WIFI advanced menu) but he manages to make a spoof (verified from the Android Terminal Emulator, as all of this apps actually do) and he manages to connect without any problems in the same way as I connect with another device that I have!
2.) I had time to make a small test at home which put a light on the idea that the problem should be focused on the Samsung (and not on the router, especially because I am unable to modify anything on the router on this facility, not even restarting it). My home network works in a similar way as the network that we are discussing about. My S4 Mini has been included in it with his original MAC and it connects to the network without any problems. My other device is also included to the network using its MAC (the one that I am using for spoofing). My other device is turned OFF, router has been reset and I am normally accessing the network with S4 Mini. Then I run the MAC Address Ghost to spoof the MAC on my S4 Mini. In that moment, I have lost the connection that I had which means that the MAC spoofer actually did something. I tried to reconnect to the network but then I am asked to enter the password for my network. I have checked and re-checked it many times, tried to forget the network and doing it all over again but it does not accept the CORRECT password. Changing my MAC back to the original one connects S4 Mini back to the network, while accepting the password immediately.
Problem is represented in a way that it either says “saved” and does not connect to the network or every few times displays a message “Authentication error occurred”.
I have tried I would say every possibility that I’ve seen over the internet. That includes:
1.) Installing WiFi Connection Manager (it provided some info regarding the network that I wish to connect to: IEEE 802.11g standard, 54 Mb link and CH:11). I’ve used its function to fix the WIFI (advanced fix (root required)) but it didn’t help.
2.) All sorts of staying close to the rooter, while enabling and disabling the Power save mode (accessed via *#0011# command) or while having GSM signal.
3.) Browsing through system, data etc. folders to try to find the file that contains the MAC address information (like it did on older android versions in the nvram file). I’ve been unable to find this file or any sort of file that displays my MAC for the purpose to modify it.
I have a plan to upgrade Android to version 4.4.2 later today and make a test.
Please, feel free to suggest anything else! If I do not succeed, I will have to replace my S4 Mini with something else.
Kind regards,
QUICK REPLY: After installing CyanoGEN MOD 4.4.2, the problem remains!
I think there could be a shorter solution! On Sony Xperia Acro S with 4.1.2 Android it was just a matter of changing the MAC address within the file data/etc/wifi/fw! One minute modification...
So, please, if somebody knows the path to the file that contains MAC on CyanoGEN MOD 4.4.2 or on Android 4.2.2, PLEASE HELP!
Kind regards!
Just sideloaded the Mashmallow update from 5.1.1 to 6.0 (downloaded from Google) and the update seemed to go normally - most things work as normal. But the WiFi wouldn't turn on, and it's mac address reports as 02:00:00:00:00:00. That address I know was an issue in the M Preview as a fake address.
I didn't want to hard reset it but in the end relented and loaded a clean new version of 6.0 from Google. When it restarts the second thing it wants to do, after selecting a language, is start the WiFi so it can log on. Of course WiFI won't start, and I can't "skip" so it's stuck. I tried Bad_Boyz fromXDA, and then going back to 5.1.1, and now forward again to 6.0 - same result. I suspect the WiFi mac address has been cleared. I found a little help that if I shell into the tablet, and write the mac address into /persist/wifi/.macaddr I might move forward. I know how to do this, but I can't shell in with adb. I can talk over USB, and run fastboot. When I connect via USB the Nexus mounts (sort of - the storage folder isn't shown when the tablet is at the "Select WiFi network" stage of setup)
When I run "adb devices" - I can't see any, even though I can "fastboot reboot recovery" and the like. I'm sure bluetooth (mac address) is broken too, but I"ll fix that later.
Does anyone have any idea how I can encourage adb to talk, so that I can "adb shell"?
Safe Mode
Just so you know - I started it in safe mode, which I have done before, but anyway - and the WiFi works. Also, USB debugging is presumably switched to off on a hard reset, and I couldn't log in to enable it without working WiFi. Suddenly my mac address is back. Don't really know if safe mode is the answer but it's worth trying...
To get into Safe Mode - long press on the "Power Off" question when you turn it off - it reboots in safe mode.
