** O.K. So I went back and downloaded the PRE 8 wifi tether installer from google code and it worked like a charm. In the event anyone else encounters the same issue I had, then this might lead you in the right direction.**
I used REGAW's guide to root my OTA Froyo'ed EVO. I installed the Wifi tether app, and all super user permissions are in place. The tether shows up on my laptops available wireless networks, but I'm unable to get connection to the internet once connected to the Evo access point. Is there a particular radio, kernal or some kind of special setup I'm overlooking. I searched these forums thoroughly and didn't find anything, so forgive me if there's a posting somewhere I might have missed. Any help is appreciated.
Just to note I'm using the wireless tether app from the android marketplace.
why cant people post info when they ask a REALLY vague question like this
-which rom did you flash
-which wifi tether app are you using.
there really is only one to be using - 'wifi tether for root users' is the name.
-does your laptop actually connect?
-how do you know its connected (yes this is a trick question to see if you even know what you're doing)
With the very limited info given , pre 7 should be the one to try and try access control. As is documented in many threads for Wifi tether. I have never taken the one from the market always went ot site dirct. We'll see if we get more info of rom, kenal????

newer builds are nice but frankly i use the one from the market and it works fine.
especially on a stock rooted rom.
I didn't post more info as I suddenly decided to try the pre8 install and it worked. So don't worry your pretty little head now there buddy. To anyone else who posted w/out the 'tude, thanks anyhow. I'd be happy to post my specific details for anyone who might need them. Thanks again!
I'm having the same problem.
I did the 2.2 OTA, unlocked by the guide and flashed Unrevoked-Forever. When in the stock 2.1 build (rooted) Wireless for root works great. As soon as I flash a 2.2 ROM (so far I have tried VirusXrom, Fresh, EVO.Zone, a plain 2.2 ROM, BakedSnack, AVA, and a few others) wireless for root stops functioning correctly. My laptop and desktop can see the AP, just not connect to it. This is the case for ROMs that ship with WFR and versions downloaded from the market.
If I flash back to my nandroid save of 2.1, WFR from the market works great.
I have also tried Kings #6 kernel and updated to the latest radio/wimax versions. I thought that I might be losing root some how, but if I open a terminal and type su I get dropped to the proper # prompt.
Any ideas?
Try going to code.google.com and then to the android wireless tether section. Hit the download tab and download the pre8 build of the tether. I used Android Sideload Wonder Machine to push the .apk to the phone, and after that my devices (laptop, psp, other mobile phones) connect to my EVO Android Tether access point w/out problem.
Sweet. That seems to have worked. I guess I just needed pre-pre8 versions are just, for some reson, incompatable with some aspect of our configurations.
Posting over my tether for proof-positive.
Awesome! Glad to hear that worked for u! Have fun..

My phone (HTC Desire) used to work fine (i have had it for nearly a year now) but now it has suddenly decided to not let me connect, sync or do anything over usb, none of my pcs detect it either.
I have tried a hard reset (no change) and i am wondering what I should do next?!?
Many Thanks
Josh
p.s Phone info in signature
EDIT: It just wont recognise anything via usb except charger and car dock :-S
as your phone seems not to be rooted, you should check wether the drivers are correctly installed if using ms windows...
The drivers are correctly installed, I just don't know what to do next ...
You should try rooting (with Unrevoked-it's kinda' easy) and after that installing a custom ROM ... and try then
Or you can try another PC and see if the sync is wirking there

the problem is that i cant root without the usb working!
I have tried multiple pcs...
also do you think that t-mobile will take it back and fix it? (its debranded no noticeable change except boot screen)
Sounds like u may be misc ****ed/usb bricked.
Does your sd card detect? if you mount it does it have qxdm files on it?
Try the gold card sollution ... maybe u'l succed
Ps.warranty is voided just when you root you phone as i know

Is it possible to make a goldcard without USB connection? Think the op's hboot is too recent.
I have the same problem as you, I've tried following, the thread below. You may have more luck.

Hello,
i've got a problem like the title says. Everytime i connect my phone to the computer via usb, i get the message the device wasnt recognized by the computer. i tried everything i know, another usbport. etc. i want to install a new radio, but without connecting to the computer it isnt possible, because i dont have the usb debugging active.
i hope someone has an idea what i can do. i have rcmix 6.1.0.1 installed.
Are you using Windoze?
If you are unfortunate enough to be doing so then you might need to reinstall HTC Sync program (sometimes it works better if you completely uninstall it first including manually removing any left over folders and files in the application data folder.
thanks for the quick answer.
i tried it, but it didnt help. where is this application data folder? do you mean on the computer? i found after uninstalling no more folders from htc.
and yes i use windows home premium 64bit.
got another idea? now it says also the device does not function properly. i hope that nothing on the device is broken.

yes he is talking about your computer... if in the "program files" you hasn´t anythink about HTC SYNC,, ALL IS OK...
but enssure that in the configuration panel-system-dispositive administrator you hasn´t any drive installed for your android device... if you have installed it, erase or uninstall it before re-install htc sync or the htc drivers....then you can re-install and reboot windoux...
and hey buddy!I recommend to you to consider to pass to linux, you will not have this type of mistakes... LOL
UBUNTU is great!
I'm afraid I don't know much about Windoze but memory serving appication data is a hidden folder so you will need to change it to view them and is in the Documents and Settings / [Your username] directory.
Device not function is just a default Windoze error when it can't install something, ignore it, your phone is fine.
If you have reinstalled HTC Sync, try a USB port on the opposite side of the PC. So if you trying ones next to each other on the front, try ones on the back (they use different headers on the motherboard).
If that doesn't work then I'm afraid I probably won't be of much more use, sorry.

The use of linux is good to understand better android OS you don´t believe?
you said it.... EVERYTHING WORKS
thanks guys for your help, but although i followed your advices, except the one to switch to linux ;-), it hasnt got better yet. the problem is still exsisting and i dont know what else i can do.
anyone got an idea how to install radio without having usb debugging and the drivers from the computer?
Hi!
I've got the same problem with 2 different PCs, one with Win7 64-bit, the other with Win XP PRO.
Other devices work fine with the same USB ports, so i doubt it's windows or the PC...

you can´t flash any radio if your phone is not recognized
well.. Let's continue with the problem in question...
1.At some time could you have connected it?with the stock rom maybe?
2.have you tried to swich on mass storage usb mode?what´s the result?
3.when you tries to swich the phone for flash some radio you enables "usb debug"
and "only chargue"?
its a weird problem
Hey man, I've had the same problem with my old Desire (normal). Which was actually broken.. Went back to the store twice and it was sent to htc twice. But that one wasn't rooted tho. But in the end, the sensors were broken & something inside the phone that didn't recon the pc. But also try a full wipe, which helped temporarily for me.
1. yes i functioned, not only with stock rom, but also with the next few custom roms. but then 2 weeks ago the problem occured and i dont know why. before i used custom roms for months.
2. it also doesnt recognize the mass storage anymore, i dont see the memorycard as a storage device in explorer.
3. yes i turned usb debugging on and connected charging only, i flashed radios before. but the problem with the actual is, that my signalstrength is weak and so i wanted to flash the recommended for this rom, and so i recognized there is something wrong, cause my problem here occured.
normally i sync with myphoneexplorer so i didnt realize that mass storage didnt function anymore.
and because earlier i got no problems, i think more and more, that something on the phone went wrong.
maybe it helps if i go back to stockrom and undo all changes i made, to start all over again?
again thanks mate for your effort to help me out

you´re welcome companion
i reded in a spanish forum ( www.htcmania.es ) about your problem and there´s people that had the same problem with a S.GALAXY S & desire HD...
someone was solved it fullwiping and formating (in the paragraph of mounts & storage into CWM) and flashing another ROM... then they formatted their sd card with a card reader OF THE PC... later they was formatted the sd card from the pc and the problem was disapeared successfully...
BUT if it persists i think that you should (mi suggestion) send your machine to the thecnical service....
ok, will try this today evening when i'm home. if this doesnt work i will reset it in the orginial state and send it to the technical support. i will leave a comment if i was successful, perhaps this will help others with the same problem.

Hi,
I've searched all over and cannot finf an answer to my problem??? I have just upgraded to Leedroid v4 and everything works beautifully except I can no longer connect to my pc. It is recognized in device manager but the phone doesn't come up with splash asking how I want to connect it, and so I can't use it as a disk drive. The phone still charges though? I have tried ticking and unticking the ask and usb debugging options.
I don't really want to flash back to an older rom but if that the only way ill have to, can anybody help please????????/
I'm sorry, there is no way in hell you have searched all over. It's one of the most known bugs in the version 4 beta from Lee. It's on pretty much every page in the dedicated thread.
This is what you do. Either download Auto mount from Market OR change kernel to Unity's or Lord's. Both those kernels have fixed the USB connection problem.
Thanks for that. I searched the term not connecting to pc on this forum and google and didn't realise it was a mounting thing!
Np mate. You are most welcome.
i Too was looking for the same thing. Thanks a lot mate
The kernel was updated by Lee, you can try the new one from his thread (see my sig). New rom version should come this week.
