You don't need HTC sync installed just the usb drivers for usb tether to work I believe

My thoughts exactly. When I was running the stock rom (pre-root) on my Desire, I never had HTC Sync running but could connect tether via USB just with the drivers installed.

are these drivers automatically installed by the pc ???? i mean the wireless tether is just run it and your pc recognizes a network....is it this way or we have to install 3rd party drivers (the adb drivers for desire)

Yea you need the adb drivers installed manually it wont automatically do it.

[Q] Galaxy Nexus drivers windows 7

My Gnex refuses to install drivers. (windows 7) i tried on my brothers computer and it works fine but it will not work on mine. Anyone know where to find some drivers that will work. Im currently failing hard on samsungs site.

Can you explain what's happening when you try to install the drivers? Do they install correctly without any errors?

No they dont. I plug it in and it fails to install everytime ive tried with different cables and this is my second gnex having the exact same problem.

Because the problem is your computer/OS/you, not Galaxy Nexus.
Try GNex Toolkit to install drivers. If even that fails i would suggest to get your computer repaired or use brothers
PS don't forget to disconnect your phone before installing drivers.

Hmmm i thought it would be an easy driver download fix.

See the link i gave you, there's another two options that doesn't involve installing GNex Toolbox:

+1 to GNex Toolbox; worked like a charm for me!

i had a problem with the usb drivers too using toolkit but following the manual install instructions worked for me. i had to go into system->device manager on my pc and install from there using the manual install instructions provided with the toolkit(option 1 and then option 3 using the toolkit). good luck.

i had problems with using the toolkit as well, so i downloaded the pdanet drivers and installed and that worked

This worked for me too. PDAnet installed drivers properly. Tried everything else didn't work.

I know this is a dumb question but I gotta ask. Did you right click the installer and choose "Run as Administrator?" Sometimes that's all it needs (even when your login has administrative privileges, you're still not Administrator.)

try this plug your phone in and make sure usb debugging is checked on the phone(settings->developer options) then on your pc go to control panel->system->device manager. when your phone is plugged in you should see android 1.0 or galaxy and right click and select update driver. if you see nothing here then try plugging the usb in a different port on the back of your pc. Then select browse device for driver, after that choose option "let me pick from a list of drivers" there you should see google or samsung as a option and select it. if that worked you should be good to go.

Ok tried every USB port, still nothing and this is the error message i get when i try to install through the device manager.

you got this error after doing the manual install and choose from a list of drivers and found google in that list?
if so then uninstall all samsung drivers, pdanet and drivers. then reinstall the samsung usb driver first then try the manual install again. make sure you have the phone plugged in and usb debugging enabled when doing the manual install in device manager.

I have exactly the same problem. Root, pushing files, everything works, except MTP. Any suggestions?

[Q] Pdanet won't install??

Has anyone had success installing and running pdanet? I can install it on my phone, but I cannot connect to install on my computer. Whenever I plug in the phone I get the MTP driver fail.
I've tried using Kies to install new drivers, I've tried uninstalling and deleting all USB drivers and then reinstalling through Windows Update all with no success. I'm on Windows 7 64-bit if that makes any difference.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, or any other recommendations to working wired tethering apps that do not require root and/or work on ICS.

Use koush wired tether you download to phone

[Q] Android 4.2 broke tether

anyone haev their tether working on 4.2? wifi tether, built in tether, and all other 3rd party apps dont work anymore. it was working on 4.1.2 but not on 4.2.

Wifi-tether working straight away here, I just enabled it and my computer connected straight away.
I did however install 4.2 with a full wipe, it seems people using the OTA have had plenty of bugs non of which I've experienced.

I did a clean install and wipe from 4.1.2 to 4.2 as well, re- rooted it as well and no dice. No update available from the app store either.

The built in works on mmuzzy ROM for me

Mines not working :crying:

Seems to be a common problem over at the Wireless Tether for Root Users development site :-/
I use it a ton and miss it badly.

mine seems to be broken too how weird

any update on this? works on macs but not windows or xbox.

I was using a AOKP ROM with lean kernel (4.1.x) and wifi tethering was working fine.
I then went to 4.2.1 and 4.2.2, WiFi tethering so far has been broken.
I tried Bigxie's deoxed, tried Android Revolution HD 10.x, and Rootbox's 4.2.2 nightly with the same result where WiFi tethering doesn't work. In my case, the client that is trying to connect will connect, IP is assigned but it won't be able to access the internet.
The ROM flashing were a full wipe, as well as dirty wipe - made no difference.

I was using Pdanet on a USB tether and it no longer works after update. My phone is totally stock with no mods. I did a factory wipe and reinstalled everything and still a no go. PC is a Windows 7 box with all associated drivers reinstalled. Contacted June fabrics (Pdanet Dev) about it and they think its a driver issue.

I also have these threads gpoing on it. Though you will get better support here than at the Google Dev forums.

For anyone that is interested, I got an email from PDAnet yesterday that says they have fixed the problem with a new PC side software install. I don't know if this helps any of you but there is a fix out there at least for PDAnet.

[Q] Nexus 7 (2013) no longer recognized on my PC since KitKat update??

I updated to KitKat yesterday - sideloaded. It was a huge success! My shiny new Nexus 7 has KitKat.
But today, when connected to my PC via USB, it no longer shows up.... It used to appear as an external drive that I could drag/drop files to. Now? Nothing. And Google support has no idea. They said "maybe it's a result of the OS upgrade."
I tried a factory reset - no dice.
I've tried multiple ports and different computers - no dice.
I tried USBDView and removing anything Nexus/Android related and trying again - nothing.
Anyone else having this issue? Any thoughts at all?
Any advice would be a big help. The PC sees it - but I cannot add files to it. Awful.

Install android-sync you will have to look on Google for it, it installs the drivers u need .. Worked for me when I lost connection. U can uninstall after

That didn't do anything for me - I tried it just now.
Did you lose connection after upgrading to KitKat?

Try enabling USB debugging

I can connect to Windows 7 x64 after the 4.4 update. Did you remember to update your Android SDK?

I had the same problem, but I noticed that I was able to transfer files if I change the usb to a usb 2.0 port. On 3.0 doesn't work.

For sideload kitkat you need to enable camera mode in storage USB settings. Try to re-enable the default settings. (settings... Storage... More... USB connection...)

My husband deleted all of the drivers on my PC and we started from scratch. Magic. I guess.
Thanks for all of the suggestions.
