Hey All--
I can't get my moto x to show up as a drive (mounted) on linux.
My nexus 4 was just plug and play on this.
Anyone have a suggestion?
(mint 16, if it matters)
I am not sure what it was called, but when I searched the Ubuntu market, I found one right away...maybe something like qMTP? Seemed to work well.

so no way to get it to automatically show up?
When I put it into PTP mode, it works perfe3ctly....but no go on MTP

It seemed that there was a way, but it involved way to many steps than I was willing to take. The MTP app was a lot simpler.
Someone else might have a suggestion though...

I was having trouble with this yesterday (got my phone in yesterday)
It seems as though the device needs to manually be added... its recognized as mtp device but won't mount for some reason....
i plan to play with this this weekend to see if i can get it to work.
in reality the poster that mentioned it would be easier to use the app but thats no fun!
I will report back if i get it to work.
I've had a problem with mtp on my Arch linux system before. Had to add each device manually. But when I plugged in my X it worked without adding anything. Maybe it's getting fixed in the newer kernels?
Anyway, best guide:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mtp
I use gomtpfs, and have got it working on friends machines too.
Now, it just takes a click and it connects.
It is bizarre that both are linux systems
Hope that helps. Good luck.
Thanks. I installed the android sdk and can flash moto x from linux. Also, I get Motorola PCS as a device with lsusb. Not sure if that helps anyone.

Running Ubuntu 13.10 right now on an XPS 12, and I was amazed when the same thing happened to me. I freshly installed Ubuntu, and it just connected out of the box. I recommend seeing if there are any software updates for Mint, that might fix it.
Thanks, unfortunetly it is still not working in Linux Mint 13 LTS even with the latest kernel from the precise repo.
I had lots of trouble until I upgraded to Ubuntu 13.10. Now it works great.

So mtp and Moto X for what it is worth if someone might be interested would not work out of the box in Linux Mint 13 or 16 or Kubuntu 13.10 or Debian Wheezy, but it did work on Debian Jessie.

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.
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?

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)
I have an old laptop that doesnt have wifi. Got my phone drivers installed. But everytime i try to turn on tethering, i get a popup saying new hardware ,and that it needs drivers.
I dont have adb setup, as it wont work for some reason.
Guess i should speculate what im trying to do. Tether my laptop to my wifi router. Any ideas or pointers would be great.
laptop is a hp running win xp sp2, its a fresh install, so i could update if it might help, but cant do sp3.
Or would a linux system work easier?
Figured it out. XP sucks and doesnt have the RNDIS crap.
Nevermind. got no connection because the network did not assign a network address to the computer.
Im lost now.
Figured out that my problem was Windows SP2.....Go figure.
So I installed ubuntu 9.10. Didnt help anthing. still am not able to connect. Any info would be great, I've read around through all the threads, and am really starting to get confused, as it says everywhere that it should just be plug and play.

SP2 will not work. I've tried for hours but as soon as I installed SP3 on my work WinXP machine it worked flawlessly.
Why can't you install SP3?

I don't use ucraptu -- it is perpetually borked.
Fedora will work -- just about any version since networkmanager went default. I think that was about version 7 or 8, both of which are already obsolete.
Just turn the thing on, plug in the phone, don't forget to ENABLE WIRED TETHERING, and you're done.

Because my Hp laptop doesnt like it, get blue screens too much. I have tried numerous times, From updating to it, and a fresh install of it.
Its just an old laptop, and its HP. Has 1.2 ghz, and 512 RAM, if that makes my point. lol

And do yourself a favor: Start with a livecd. It downloads small and is easy to test without jumping through too many hoops.
Appreciate the help. Fedora looks great, and I have nothing to lose. There online d/l sucks, had to find at the bay.

well thanks for the pointless addition. Im just trying to find an OS that will work with wired tether, Ubuntu was supposedly plug and play... it wasnt. and now I get kernal errors when trying to load new OS.
Figured out that it had nothing to do with my OS, it was the ROM I was running. Tether works great now.
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.

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.

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)

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.
