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.

I used Fusion 3.0 with an XP VM and it works... I'm working to see if I can back NAT that connection to Snow Leopard...

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.

Tethering with Mac (USB) Cyanogen

Hi, I am using the latest version of Cyanogen on my nexus.. Just wondering how to get tethering to work via USB on my mac? As there is no WIFI option :S
Thanks

Which could just as well mean that wifi is not a option for him, and the subject asks if usb tethering is an option.
May I also suggest not using the word moron or spending time on creating dumb links, based on your resoponses i will assume you have had your fair share of internet arguments, and unless you are about 11years old you should be tired of them. Im just suggesting that if you are a bit nicer, there is the possibility of avoidinh internet argument alltogether (unless you of course enjoy them in which case i suggest going to the wow-forums).

How did you do that google thing :|?

I don't think you can. My MacBook can see the Nexus connected as a USB device but there are no modem services attached to it. We may need a OSX driver for USB tethering to work.

There is no driver for the tethering on osx.

USB Tethering needs something called 'Remote NDIS' or something like that, don't remember exactly. OSX doesn't have any drivers for that, while Windows and Linux does. Once in a while I searched for that when trying to tether with my windows mobile phone, looks like a few projects were started to get a driver for it, but I haven't found a completed one yet.

[Q] USB tethering and Windows 7

Before someone says anything, yes drivers are installed and everything is working on the driver end of things but the problem comes when I plug in my phone and enable the USB tether the network and sharing center in Windows 7 just comes to a complete crawl, also it shows that i have a connection to the internet but i get packet loss.
Anyone else come across this, and any ideas?

Could be that its W7 X64? The drivers are installed and working correctly, what version of W7 you running?

I am also running cm6 final version. Internet works fine about five minute but my phone rebooted. I am wondering if we have similar problems. My wireless mode works fine. However with wifi I seems to run up the temperature of the way up. I worry if my phone can the heat it produce. It constantly stay up at 100 degrees. I need to fix the tethering some how.

ya i can use the Wireless AP mode fine, and it is normal for the phone to heat up but not being able to use it wired bugs me Its much easier and better on battery life that way :/

Yeah it drains ma battery fast. I even reformatted my laptop. It worked but it shut down the phone again. But I was dl a 150 MB file from a bitorrent site. Argh. Not cool. It worked fine when I am using XP. But w7 has some bug. Its got to be windows 7.

[Q] Wired tether?

Is there a wired tether app out there for use on our D3 that successfully works? I'm running the latest Gummy ROM.

I use Easy Tether and it works perfectly, am running stock rom. hope that helps

Have you tried the built in USB tether in the Wireless/Networks settings area?
Not certain about Gummy but most custom roms seem to have it working.

PDANet
I have been using PDAnet for more than a year, rooted, unrooted, stock ROM and it works well. Recently added a wi-fi feature. Reasonable cost to support the app.

Built in will not work unless you buy the service from Verizon. I use PDA Net. Works very well. My only complaint is that you have to enable USB debugging to make it work.

i've tried the built in and its not working, at least not that i can tell: i plug it in, enable USB debugging, and then disable mass storage, then plug it in, check off enable the built in tether, and restart my computer and it doesn't seem to notice it.....am i doing something wrong?

Try setting the USB to PC mode.
Also, make sure you have the drivers installed:
32 bit: http://www.mediafire.com/?71c12qc4a1svqza
64 bit: http://www.mediafire.com/?8rb7bpvp2b9vy2f
When you enable USB tether it should automatically initialize the Motorola virtual network adapter on your computer.
If you still do not see anything then it must not work with your rom and a 3rd party app would probably be easiest.

Once again, this WILL NOT WORK with a stock Droid 3. Assuming everything works properly, you will sort of get an Internet connection on the computer...sort of...But the only place it will take you is to a Verizon Wireless page telling you you "If you would like to subscribe to mobile Broadband Connect or 3G Mobile Hotspot call..." with a couple of phone numbers and also telling you that its an extra $20 per month for this service.

Yes. OP said he is running Gummy, not stock.
Verizon users report that this works on Eclipse and Maverick and they do not subscribe. It may or may not work on Gummy but it does not hurt to try.

It should work. It isn't too much different than CM9 or AOKP.

USB connectivity on a LInux laptop

Just got my Turbo, and I like it very much. What I don't like is that I can't seem to connect it to my Linux laptop. Could use a little help please.
Further, I disabled the autoloading software - because it's Windows software...now I can't find that setting.
Anyone?

BTT.
Still having issues with this. .otherwise, phone is 5X5.

What distro are you using? Can you see your phone in your file manager? Have you installed mtp support...?
Also, try enabling USB debugging. I had some connectivity issues and enabling it seemed to solve them, although I'm not sure if that was just a coincidence.

I am using Linux Mint 13. Didn't have any issues with the HTC phones I've owned. Can't see it in file manager, nothing pops up. Didn't know I needed to install MTP support - considering the other phones worked fine. Hmmm.

I did that, no help. I'll keep digging. Thanks.

13 is old.... really old. Not sure if they even support MTP. I would highly, highly suggest moving to Ubuntu 14.10, at the very least to a CLEAN install of the latest mint. I had nothing but issues with mint so I switched to stock ubuntu (plus I like compiz fusion too much)

Upgraded to 17, works like a champ.
Thanks!

My wife just purchased a Turbo. I can not get the storage to mount on Ubuntu 14.10. This is the only phone that I don't have access to the storage. I do have access to the PMP. I am also receiving an "no permissions" when using adb. I search for adb devices, and no permissions? I have developer options enabled, USB debugging checked. I just tried 2 other phones with adb, all functions?

I can only come up with one thing right now, was the phone unlocked when you plugged it in? Sometimes my turbo gives me grief if it's locked and I connect it. Can't think of much else.
You may want to have a look at this article.

Ekkoria Thanks. Good read.
I changed the fuse.conf, and added my device to the, 69-libmtp.rules.
All working here.
Thanks
