Cyan's 4.2.3 Tethering question

Hi,
I just wanted to ask if anybody has gotten the usb tether feature to work with a mac? I can't seem to get it to work . Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Cyanogen posted on his twitter about a problem with the tethering on windows, not sure if it applies for mac aswell

thanks for the info, will stay alert then!!

btw i know i should wait for the next release for the usb problem, but the thing is that i get the option to mount usb, but if i mount i cant see the device on my computer, and then i get a damaged sd card message on my phone... Anybody got something on this??
thanks

See if the card will mount in a reader, if not format the card on the phone. If it keeps happening you might need to buy a new card.

i tried
ok
1. you cannot have both USB tethering and USB disk support at the same time.
2. in order for the device to be picked up as a modem/networking device in mac, its gonna need drivers?
how are you supposed to get it working in linux? perhaps the same method could be done via terminal?
edit: 4.2.3.1 , M_Blend Blue b2, Mac 10.5.8 on PowerBook G4 1.67 (PPC)
edit2: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Tethering - If someone figures it out, please update this wiki to explain to the public how to do it. Thanks. I suppose this goes the same for Windows, if you find the driver that works- Share the knowledge!

hey, I'm also interested in getting this to work on a mac. It does seem like we'll need drivers of some sort, I just have no idea where/what to look for. anyone have ideas? I think i'm going to ask cyanogen via twitter, we'll see what happens

Thanks! But i wont need to buy a new one 4.2.3.1 fixed that issue !!
I just cant get the tethering to work on mac, if i find something will let you all know

Forgive me if this was addressed, but I couldn't see it in the rom thread. I'm running 4.2.3.1 and I can't seem to get the usb tether to work. I'm running windows 7, and when I first checked the box, it went through the add hardware wizard, but said the device could not be installed, and now nothing happens.....Just wondering if anyone could shed some light on the issue.
Thanks

Still can't get tethering to work
I tried using my girlfriend's computer, and it worked, but I still can't get it to work on mine.
I'm running windows 7 on a dell inspiron E1505. Not sure if anyone can help. I'd really like to get this working if possible.

No reason to tether through USB... just go wireless on it. (unless you don't have a wireless adapter, I use an iMac so it's built in.)
Tethering works fine on 4.2.3.1 with the new tether 1.60pre_3. I've never tried through the USB though, but i've read it works.

mrandroid, USB tethering is a lot faster than wireless tethering. Performance is the primary motivation. I'm trying to get it working on my MacBook, but haven't succeeded yet.

I understand, but if you can't get it done don't despare... you'd be surprised how fast the wireless works. I use it all the time in the car... Tether my iTouch to the G1 lol... works great.

It's due to RNDIS and no support in 10.5 +
The method the tethering CM uses is RNDIS... Current OS X versions do *NOT* support this as it's an MS licensed implementation - some linux distro's support it under licensed terms with MS (or sideways non legal implementations)
There is an RNDIS driver for Mac but it does require some modification to get it to work.... 10.4 had internal support; Leopard and Snow Leopard *DO NOT*.
See: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/MacOS_X#Apple_CDC_Ethernet_driver_10.5.x (This applies to a Neo device - but same story)
If someone on Windows can grab the Networking UPNP info we can modify the source base to work ; though it will work on Leopard; no one has ported this driver yet to Snow Leopard... source: http://bugcommunity.com/downloads/files/AppleUSBCDCDriver-g_ether.326.4.1.zip

I can't get either Apple's CDC nor AJZaurusUSB driver to work in 10.5.8. Frustrating to say the least.

While I commend your efforts, if I have to go to those lengths to get usb tethering to work on os x, I'll just continue to use wireless tethering.

I'd love to see someone tackle this. I get free WiFi at tmobile hotspots on my phone, but not my pc, I could surf on my mac through usb, using the WiFi on my phone if this was implemented.

usb tethering on snow leopard?
Hello guys,
did anybody got cyanogenmod working with usb tethering on snow leopard?
Kind regards,
Thomas

i'd also love to get USB tethering working with Cyanogenmod 7.
<an URL that i can't post because i'm a new user> says that RNDIS was added back to stock OSX as of 10.5.8. i guess this is a vicious rumor and a lie? anyone have more info?
the link is the first one that currently comes up if you google for "+rndis osx 10.5.8". it's a single post at mac-forums.com.

Wanting to tether my hero to Linux, HELP!

Ok. So I have an HTC Hero CDMA with Fresh ROM 1.1. I have the wifi-tether app installed, but my desktop does not have wireless. I normally use PdaNet on Windows 7, but I am now dual booting Ubuntu 9.10 with Windows 7 Ultimate. I want to USB tether my phone to either Ubuntu 9.10 or OpenSuse 1.1. I have tried the little "Sprint MNS rig" and it fails for me every time and every way. I am open to anything! I will even wipe my phone and install a new ROM if needed! I just really want to USB tether my phone to Linux! Thanks!

Unfortunatly, the USB tether app doesn't work on our Hero.
Have you tried running PDAnet in Wine?

This worked for me.

Well I used to tether my diamond to linux all the time and afaik you should be able to get it.
Look up the guide that uses the race condition(enabling sharing before connection grabs), it's on this forum.
Setup a dial up connection in KPPP or w/e your choice is. Have the connection dial #777 and fill in anything for user/pass and that may work.
Best I can think of at the moment.

ROFLMAO.
That link works for me too.
Anyhow i can't think of a laptop that has windows 7 that doesn't have wireless? whats the use having a laptop without wireless? where did you get this state of the art beast. does it have bluetooth?

Maybe you should actually read some of the things you google.
The first link talks about MNS, which he said does not work.
The second link is the same thing.
The third link is this thread.
The fourth link is also MNS.

If you're going to attempt to be a smart ass, at least read the post first instead of seeing what other people say and repeat them.
AFAIK, most desktops do not come with built in wireless cards. Seems you can pick up a small selection of motherboards from Newegg that have a/b/g, but that's about it.
I repeat however, have you tried PDAnet in Wine?

My Windows 7 desktop doesn't have wireless either.
But wireless pci cards are getting cheaper as we speak. That's an option I guess?

Hey smart ass? First off, I said DESKTOP. Secondly, Lets say I DID have a laptop with Windows 7 and no wireless, you mocking it is NOT solving my problem, which is why your post should be reported for low quality. Lastly, "whats the use having a laptop without wireless?" Isn't even a sentence. Stay off my threads. Thanks
And to the guy recommending PdaNET on Wine, No I haven't dude I am looking into it right now.

Here's something else to look into
http://code.google.com/p/azilink/

If you can get the race condition to work, the KPPP connection should work.
If not, try the VPN.

As far as using Wired Tether on 2.1, it seems it runs, the Su request goes through, the computer make the "hardware plugged in noise," but as far as getting data to transfer, nothing.
However I'm at my Mom's house, and her USB ports are all screwed up, so my tests are inconclusive.

First off. Kyle i don't think your mother would appreciate you talking to ppl like that.
Second. yes i did miss read your post. my bad
Third. the second post was funny as hell. and proves you didn't do any searching on this forum much less any other.
so please stop whining and get busy trying to figure it out. if you get stumped post your errors and commands and we'll lend a helping hand.
Third have you tried proxoid?
Also i found this link
http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=409949084&blogID=446443940
its for a g1 but you should be able to make it work.
so don't post asking for somebody to figure it out for you unless you search first.

Tethering works just fine for me. It comes up as a wifi access point in network manager, and it also comes up in iwlist for an essid. im using gentoo btw
And im using the wireless tether app which comes in most custom roms to do my tethering
you can download the said app here : http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/

Wired tether(the app) doesn't work. I've tried on 1.6, 2.01 and 2.1. It's an incompatibility with our Heros it seems.
And at above poster, he said NOT wireless.

First off, My mom is dead. Died when I was six jackass.
Secondly, You must not have learned your lesson about READING THE POSTS huh? I said I have been searching since 5 A.M. for an answer but all have failed, or aren't companionable.
Lastly, I have already found that. For some reason, I can not establish a connection. It will not even pick up the fact that there is a wired connection.
P.S. Proxoid is NOT what I am looking for. It does not connect like an internet connection and I have to go through every program I want to use for the internet and change the proxy settings manually. Not only that, it lags, disconnects, and the response time is terrible.

Oh, my b. And in the 2.1 build, if you go into wireless settings and enable mobile network sharing, it comes as an interface usb0 in which you can dhcpcd it to gain internet access
I haven't tested this, but you could probably get the same usb0 interface using this app: http://code.google.com/p/android-wired-tether/

Wireless Tether Help (heh)

I'm going to be eaten alive for asking for help, but I can't get wireless tether up and running.
I bit the bullet and rooted today, installing CyanMod (v5.0.6-test) in the process. Downloaded and installed wireless_tether_2_0-pre10.apk (code . google . com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list) and the app runs fine but my laptop couldn't connect. So I decided to look for a new kernel. I searched and installed intersectRaven's AVS_xtra Kernel (forum . xda-developers . com/showthread.php?t=653598&highlight=wireless+tether+kernal) but still nothing.
I'm obviously inexperienced. Any help would be honestly appreciated.
(Spaced out the links. Felt like posting my sources was worth disobeying the no link rule. :/)

Did you try this kernel update?
hxxp://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/wiki/NexusOneKernelUpdate

I use the desire rom and the built in app they have in the ROM is great, all i do is open the app on my phone and search for networks on my computer and im connected.

It has always worked great for me, never had any problems.

i noticed that in my WIN XP laptop it didn't recognize the wifi network
but in WIN 7 all works fine.. (but it shows a different icon in the wifi select screen)

It's the exact opposite here. Win7 (64bit) refuses to connect but Vista connected just fine. But at least the application works. :] I installed the kernel from googlecode. Didn't check to see if it worked on another machine beforehand, but it works on everyone's but my laptop now.
I really like CM and have no complaints. :/ Does anyone know why my laptop cant connect? (USB tether isnt much of a bother, but compatibility issues in the future may be)

Froyo USB Tethering not working?

I followed the directions here:
google *com/support/android/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=182134
but could not get the drivers to properly install. Has anyone else tried and was able to get it to work? Anyone have any suggestions on how to get the drivers working?
For me the drivers are giving me cannot finish installing error.
Edit: I'm using Windows XP by the way. So any other XP people having trouble?

Mine worked fine just slow as hell.

No, no new option. I just plugged it up. One thing tho, I have updated my SDK when the 2.2 SDK came out, but I wasn't asked to update my USB driver, so that's probably irrelevant. It worked just like before the update.

<<---Tethering...

Does anyone know any hacks to get it working on Mac OS X?

USB tethering and wifi hotspot both working flawlessly with a netbook using Windows XP home here.
Maybe the OP error was trying to install the tethering driver for the mass storage device, or the adb device that pops up when connecting the Nexus One if you have "USB debugging" on. I suggest connecting the phone to usb, ignoring any popups that appear asking for drivers (if any) and then active USB tethering on the phone, a new device asking for a driver should pop up. The driver goes there.

Hotspot and Tethering worked fine for me testing with a Windows 7 netbook.

Mine working perfectly with windows 7

[Q] Not recognizing after installing SDK

Hopefully someone can help me because I have been stuck for days and I have researched nonstop. My phone was working fine and could connect to my pc a week ago. I installed Android SDK and eclipse so I could try and develop an application. Now that I have installed it, my phone will not connect to my PC. My tablet will not either. I have ticked the USB debugging on and off, updating drivers from Motorola as well as the Google usb drivers from the sdk manager. When i type in the command for adb devices, no device is shown. In the device manager, my device does not show up. It doesn't even charge anymore. I have the original cords, but have tried others just in case. I am running Windows 8.0 if that makes a difference.

do you actually need eclipse? did you try uninstalling everything to see if you could connect again?
likely you do not need eclipse and should have just installed the sdk but i have never had the problem you are describing. i would just uninstall everything and get it working again then re-try installing whatever you want to

well there are other IDEs out there besides eclipse but you can use that one. Sounds like you are about to have a pretty big uphill battle creating an app lol.
But if you get everything to work without anything installed, try re downloading and installing everything without your phone plugged into the computer. I have no idea if that would work or if it would matter at all but it could i guess. that's where i would start. it should screw anything up on your computer that wouldn't let you connect your phone but maybe something weird happened.
i just did some research and only found people having similar problems with samsung phones. And the solution was downloading some kies program for samsung phones. so idk what else to tell you.

Ahhhh it worked! My pc will finally recognize my device. I'm not sure what the problem was either, I got the same results when I was researching. No one seemed to have the exact same problem.
I'm definitely going to have some problems trying to create an app haha.. The SDK came with eclipse, so I just assumed I had to use it. I'm pretty sure I'm in over my head! Is there another IDE that you recommend? The easiest method is the method I'm going to take for sure.

eclipse is fine. a lot of people use it. just search through xda and you will find threads teaching you how to build apps, but unless you are going to spend a good amount of time or already know how to code, prepare to be ticked off.
