So i tried to do some USB tethering today.. and it would not work.. because I am running windows xp on my laptop....
with the OTA it states i need to run Vista, or higher..
anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks
It runs on XP just fine. Make sure you downloaded the CORRECT pc app, there are flavors for all the operating systems. I have XP running and it works fine on my system. There is a wireless app that also works with the G2 now and if all else fails you could do that, too...
Good Luck!
make sure you have HTC sync on your comp and it will work np
HTC sync.. just download it from HTC site?
should be nice and easy..
yep just install it and restart
plug the phone in and on the phone turn on usb tether
Is there a specific one for the g2.. or does any touch sync work for it?
yea there is hold on
err. if i find it ill post the link
try this

its for the desire z but its the same phone
G2 tethering
You got the OTA update that enables wifi calling and usb/wireless tethering, right?
On your G2 Go to Settings, Wireless & networks, Tethering & portable hotspots, Help.
Under this help guide, go to the website link for USB listed there.
Go to this website and choose "USB Tethering with Windows XP"
Download the INF file "tetherxp.inf"
On your G2 check the "USB tethering" option, and connect your G2 via USB cable to your computer. Instead of using windows to automatically seach for drivers, direct the wizard to the "tetherxp.inf" file.
This will also work for Windows 7 if your having problems tethering there.
Thanks, this worked like a charm. Hopefully it's better than PDANet, which seems to slow down my phone like crazy (whenever I run it Launcher Pro becomes unresponsive at times).

I plugged my incredible into my windows 7 x64 laptop and set it to run as mobile broadband connect and my computer found and installed all the drivers except HTC DIAG and HTC modem,does anybody know if there are just no drivers available for it yet or is there a specific sit to download them from. the old HTC usb modem drivers arent working that I had from all my other HTC phones. easy tether works but I just want to plug it in and hit connect.
Go to vzam.net to download the Verizon Access Manager for the mobile broadband. I iinstalled and successfully connected but, I need to change my plan around to unlock the mobile broadband. If you try to go anywhere in a web browser once you're connected you'll be taken to a Verizon page stating that your plan needs the mobile broadband option.
You can also snag the HTC Sync software for the Eris on HTC website. Drivers there work fine for the incredible.
I plugged by 8GB Micro SD card into the incredible and it loaded HTCSYNC on the card. When plugged in I selected Hard Drive instead of Sync and opened up the Drive to the SD and the software was there. I installed it and the drivers all worked.
Waste of money. They want an additional $25/mo on-top of the $30/mo you already need to pay.
Verizon = Profiteering Gluttons
Yeah Pdanet right now till others root this bad boy
and then back to wired/wireless tether again
HTC DIAG Drivers
I looked a lot at many places for the HTC DIAG drivers. Finally found them. Thanks to those who uploaded them originally.
PFA...
Hope this helps!!!

Unless you're paying for their service, which is crazy, just use EasyTether if unrooted. If you are rooted then use WiFi tether.
Both incur no monthly charge.
hi all, this topic drew me into the boards.
i am looking for a modem driver for my eris, win7 64bit. anybody know where i can find one? i do have the My HTC driver showing up in the AndroidUSB Devices category, but i need to pull the device through a modem slot, so i can connect a com port to be specific.
note, i tried in install the vista64 driver above, but i didnt get far. the nearest i got was to right click on the computer in the top of the device list, and add legacy hardware, go to have disk, select the driver, but nothing showed up in the list. i can try to install it with the command prompt rundll32.exe setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 0 c:\Temp_Folder_Path\driverXXX.inf, assuming it will work for this type of driver, but i wanted to consult here first to see if i can find the proper driver, and a recommened method.
link no good
Heres a good link to all the drivers for ADB, HTC Modem, HTC Diag, and Qualcom Diag. http://dinc.does-it.net/Drivers/ADB_Modem_HTC-Diag_Qualcom-Diag_DRIVERS.zip
hello everyone I have a problem with my g2 when i try to use usb tehering with my computer I have a problem with the ( device drive not install on this computer ) I try more than one computer but it cam up the sam error message ? and I have window 7 on both of the computer, any solution I can do ? thx
What app are you using to tether and have you installed the drivers.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
I have update with the manual update. the wifi hotspot work except the usb tether, it keep said the device not install, do I have to install some app on my coputer, thx for the reply
I have searched all over the place for a solution to this and haven't found a solution. Everything I find says Windows 7 has a generic RNDIS driver preinstalled, but it doesn't seem to be the case on my install.
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
I used the drivers that came with PDANet Desktop application
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
I found a solution. Download the HTC Sync software from the link on this page: http://code.google.com/p/android-wired-tether/wiki/FAQ
Then when you connect your G2 and turn USB tethering on, search for drivers and locate the HTC Sync directory. It should then find the driver and install it.
Now, for a little twist probably related to the tethering plan, I notice this entry in logcat after turning off USB tethering and making sure my adb connection still works:
Code:
D/DataConnectionTracker( 1431): disableApnType(hipri)
I don't know if this DataConnectionTracker was around before, but I've never seen it. This might have something to do with how T-Mobile plans to know if we're tethering.
Edit: DataConnectionTracker triggers when using both USB and wifi tethering provided by the OTA, but not when using the Wireless Tether for Root application.
Hi,
i am not able to tether my desire on windows7 machine, it does nicely on windows xp. I have installed htc sync but with no help. Any idea as to what is missing.
wlan tether or usb tether is not working?
me too..My computer's operating system is Window 7
I'm using hTC Desire...it was working with original ROM
but after I flashed to CM7 RC2 and GingerVillain ROM(both are 2.3.3), I found USB tethering unable to work, when I ticked it then it will auto untick the box
someone know how to solve it?
It's quite obvious the problem lies with gingerbread...so either revert back to froyo...or try uninstalling the USB drivers and downloading the latest ones (they come with HTC sync from HTC.com)
Gingerbread isn't really (officially) out, soooo...that's my theory at least
usb tether dont even work on XP with the latest android usb driver revision
Hey all,
I am having a problem sharing my evos internet with my HP pc using W7 via usb connection. I plug phone in and choose usb tethering than a pop up comes up asking to install drivers. I try but than it asks for the cd that came with the phone (which I dont have). I tried to search for the drivers online but it doesn't work. It won't let me connect to the web. We tried it on my friends pc using my phone and it worked fine even though the same pop up showed up on hers. Chose option to ask me later and it connected to the web right away! Any ideas? Btw my evo is rooted ruining myn's rls5.
Try installing HTC Sync on your computer . . once installed, you can remove the HTC Sync program itself, leaving behind the drivers and driver install program . . . see if that fixes it for you . . .
I'm pretty sure I already had HTC sync installed but but I will check after work today......

Just went thru this 2 days ago trying to setup my laptop.
1.Plug your phone in and turn on USB Tethering
2.Then right click on my computer then manage and see what drivers it is looking for
3.See if it is looking for Remote NDIS Internet Sharing Drivers
4.Go to this webpage and download these drivers http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445436
5.Unzip and update drivers
Hopefully this works for you. The only problem I have had is on AOSP kernels ending in .8 there are no drivers for RNDIS so USB Tethering is a problem.
Secondly if that does not work then download PDANet its free for 30 days and has all the drivers you need. Also works better than stock USB Tethering
Thanks a lot, will try it out.......

Ok, I finally got it to work! Tried so many things that I really dont know which did it but it finally installed the drivers when I plugged up the phone and its working now. THANKS all
Hi all,
I'm after a little help that I simply cannot find anywhere else... all other routes/searches have led me here so i'm afraid my first post is a question that hopefully someone here can help me with.
So... here goes...
I have a UK HTC Desire, running CM7.0.3.
I would like to connect it to my work laptop running Windows XP via the USB cable so that the laptop can use with the phones WiFi connection or the data connection.
The laptop has WiFi, but it's disabled via the bios and I don't have the password.
With the stock ROM, I connected the phone, put into tethering mode, installed a driver (googled off the www) and it all worked wonderfully.
With CM7 installed, the original drivers don't work and I cannot find anywhere new drivers that do.
I removed all drivers to start again on the laptop, so when i plug the phone in, the first it detects is the Android Phone and wants a driver for "My HTC". Everything I've thrown at it, windows says is incorrect
I installed the Android SDK, but my work proxy wont allow it to connect to their servers (it tries to do this automatically when searching for the usb drivers) for any drivers (which was one suggestion that Google informed me about).
I went to the HTC website to look for drivers, but they seem to have forgotten that they built the Desire completely (another fruitless Google search result).
Please can someone offer some suggestions on where I can get the drivers for USB tethering for the desire running CM7?
Much appreciated, thank you.

Same issues here. Tried the SDK Drivers too, didn't work.
Strange thing is, normal USB connection is ok with the old htc driver, the issues come up when tethering option is activated: it switches to another driver (Android Phone).
Try upgrading things...ur BIOS, ur Windows etc...
