I'm having problems with USB tether. I've kept up with the CM7 nightly's and so far none work with me when it comes down to USB tether.
I think I'm missing the drivers on my computer.
I'm running windows 7, from what I've researched, windows 7 should install the drivers automatically. When USB tether is activated on my inc, my device manager shows the driver as RNDIS. I've tried downloading countless driver updates but to no success.
Correct me if I'm wrong but the drivers needed for USB tether are different from the regular USB drivers needed to use your phone as a drive on your computer right?
Some people have had the same problem but no solution has worked for me.
HELP PLEASE!!

+1 I have the same issues with USB Tether in CM7 Nightlies. Im thinking its the new kernel?? But it will NOT recognize any driver that b4 worked for the RNIS Adapter it finds to connect. It fails to install and stays with a yellow error logo Im using PdaNet and/or easytether in the meantime.

Yeah PDANet works fine. I think it may have something to do with the kernel. Hopefully they get a fix for this.
Na its something with windows 7 XP installs the drivers just fine. Pdanet always cuts out for me after awhile.

PDAnet is rock solid for me. CM7 RC1 on DINC. Windows 7 x64 on my PC. I use PDA net for hours at a time with no problems. 14gig data last month on Verizon.
Must be something on your phone or PC if you are having problems with PDAnet.
Hi,
you just need to download Active Sync (by me it was ActiveSync 4.5) and this will automaticly install the generic rndis driver. After installing just connect your phone via USB and activate USB - tethering. (- for XP - Win7 install the driver automaticly)
Ibwished activesync worked for windows 7

I am using windows 7 pro x64 and my computer cannot install the driver when I check USB tethering on the OTA.
I know it is not my phone since my linux machine works fine with usb tethering.
However on my windows machine, it fails to install right away and my device manager has a "Android phone" that is not installed.
Is there something I am missing on my windows machine to not let it finish installing? If I remember correctly on my old setup it would install the NDIS remote driver, but that doesn't happen for me.
Any suggestions?
EDIT : Just tried roommate's computer which is also win7 pro x64 and it failed as well. Is windows 7 pro missing this NDIS driver? If so does anyone know a solution?
The link below is to PDAnet's download page. Just pick the one for you and it'll install the drivers.
If you don't know the bit size to your computer click start, right click my computer, properties, and it should say there.
The problem isnt PDAnet, I prefer not to use a 3rd party software when I can use the native 2.2 usb tethering. The problem is windows 7 pro not detecting the NDIS server driver. I confirmed it working for linux but I do not have a computer around me that uses other versions of Windows 7 besides pro
EDIT: Just tried my G1 on cm 6.1 and it found the NDIS driver for the G1.
Hmmm I'm running out of ideas, Ill try and find someone with windows 7 home or ultimate

You don't have to use pda net, it just has the drivers you need in the software. Once you install pdanet, the drivers will allow win7 to recognize your phone. then you can uninstall pdanet. I had to do the same thing.

Thanks. I've been trying to tell people this over and over. No one listens.
Installed pdanet on my computer, which it also installed onto my phone but no luck. It still fails the driver install when i check usb tethering.
It did however install PDAnet's own "network driver", but device manager still sees "Android phone" as an unknown device when i check usb tethering. Not to be confused with the adb driver which I have already have up and running
I still have not had a chance to try another operating system besides linux :/
I tried searching and was unable to find an answer. The CM7 RC0 thread in development states that USB mounting and tethering works with the stock kernel. When I attempt to enable tethering, I am unable to install the necessary driver due to the hardware ID being different from CM6.1. Is their an alternate NDIS driver (XP/Win7) for CM7?
Did you uninstall the current drivers first?
I'm having the same problem.... windows 7 cant find the driver software...shows as RNDIS

No I hadn't tried that. When I get home I'll attempt to uninstall the current driver and see if that does anything.
edit: Tried uninstalling then reinstalling current driver. Nothing changed. The ADB driver installs fine, but when I try to enable USB tethering the install fails. The hardware ID for the NDIS device for CM7 is different than 6.1.
Sorry, can't help with this. I'm running Linux Mint, a Ubuntu derivative, and it works right out the box.
Im having the same issue.. It works on XP but not windows..
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.......

Btw, what happens after PDAnet expires after the 30 day trial?
PDAnet works but im having problems with the zip folder. How do i unzip it? And how do i update the drivers? THANKS
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
EDIT:
So I got it rooted, but MTP still won't work on my laptop, but works on my friends laptop What drivers does the first method install? I thought about upgrading them to official drivers. But when I tried to do that, it says I'm already running the latest drivers... Should I uninstall them and try to manually re-install these?

See if the following method fix your device, anyway it fixed mine, btw mine was running cm10.2
1) Go to system settings--->>storage
2) Choose USB computer connection on the upper-right corner
3) Have the MTP option checked.
4) Try connecting your device to the computer usb port again.

Tried that on PA, no luck
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
No one? Has anyone had any success with cm10.2 compared to stock based roms like PA?
me neither, can't even install the adb driver probably, although i've tried every way the nrt or nexus toolkit told me. T_T
with/without usb debugging, with/without mtp connection, using different usb ports, still no luck. Last thing i haven't tried is to connect n7 to another computer
