I have a Desire and I am running an AOSP 2.3 ROM, Redux.
I would like to use USB tethering with a Windows 7 laptop.
The Desire is connected to internet and the tethering option is checked. Can you tell me what do I need next?
What kind of drivers do I need to install under Windows 7?
Do I need to disable debug-usb in Android?
After I installed drivers what steps I need to do on Windows 7?

One quick question. I also use USB Tethering (which is builtin as well

Hello, does anyone know how to get USB tethering to work on Windows 7 64 bit with HTC Desire official Froyo rom without installing HTC sync? Are there any standalone drivers for this? I would like to use USB teher rather than WIFI hotspot, but i dont want to install the whole HTC sync thing just for that....
on windows you have to use HTC Sync ATM. some flavours of linux will work out of the box ( live CD )
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'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

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
