[Q] USB tethering and win7 pro

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 :/

[GUIDE] Install Windows 8 to a Tablet/Slate from USB

A lot of people have asked me in the past, how can I use my Samsung Series 7 Slate to run the latest Windows 8 (originally Dev Preview when I first released this) and actually I have been seeing it more often that people can't figure out how to get it on their Slate...
With that being said, I recommend you visit my updated post on my Blog that reflects Windows 8 RC here install & my blog contains other Windows 8 (and WP7) related content if you're bored. Otherwise to save you time, below is the steps/full blog post and a video created (This is my video from my YouTube Channel "TechMeShow", I permit the video being here) regarding making the USB Stick, which is old news but still people continue to ask and really get hundreds of views due to Google Searches.
ISO US-ENGLISH DOWNLOADS
Download 64-Bit US-EN Windows 8 Release Preview Here (ISO)
OR
Download 32-Bit US-EN Windows 8 Release Preview Here (ISO)
HOWTO Install Windows 8 Release Preview on MOST Tablet/Slate's
1). Download the edition of Windows 8 you want.
Tip: Download ISO from above.
2). Grab the Microsoft USB Disc Creator ('Should' use a USB Stick + Available USB Slot)
Tip Link: Microsoft USB Disc Creator Download Page. Video below.
3). After you use the Disc Creator, pop in the USB Stick to your computer and DO NOT RUN INSTALL ON WINDOWS 7 (We want it on a Tablet/Slate, remember?).
4). Now, reboot the tablet/slate, hit the Home Screen button only 1 time (give it a moment, don't rush, it'll happen) and select the USB Stick
Tip: To navigate up and down, select the left (or varies on device) Up/Down Volume Control and once selected, press the "Screen Lock".
5). Product Key: TK8TP-9JN6P-7X7WW-RFFTV-B7QPF
6). Follow the steps for installation and your set!

If you already knew all of this, terrific. However, again and not to brag, when I get at least 200 daily visits because people can't figure out how to install Windows 8 <edition here> on a Tablet/Slate (yes pretty easy), I thought why not post it here because obviously not enough people are getting it.

Great tutorial
I Will try it now!!
This is the key for 32 bits Windows 8: DNJXJ-7XBW8-2378T-X22TX-BKG7J

Terrific, let me know how it goes... Also made a tutorial on how to take your Recovery DVD to USB, pretty basic but I was asked.
Thanks,

Hi,
What type of halt/error/hang and where do you get it and on what type of device?
Thanks,
Lance

To be 100% honest, I am not sure about the setup part but for the USB Disc, should be the same and just make sure you boot from USB.

Just seems to be a strange hang that (after checking various forums) seems to happen mainly on Asus laptops,
apparently concerning the NVIDIA graphics driver which needs to be updated. For the moment they've only got
a W8 driver for the Release Preview build which doesn't seem to solve the issue.

Very weird, have you tried to load the driver during setup?

I don't know wether this is a noobish question ..but can we install windows 8 on an android device ? Like on an OneX to be particular ...hmm ..ok sorry got it ...we need the right drivers which will be pretty damn hard to find .. thanks anyways

Actually, a good chance windows can just use some generic drivers. Once in Windows, I am sure a windows update could find something, windows 8 is badass at finding stuff.

I'm interested to get it working on my Xoom, too. Yes it has an microSD slot. There are also OTG cables that you can mount USB sticks.

Guys, the Windows 8 architecture for the images (and RTM that is out now) is for x86 processors only at this time. The Android devices are ARM based. Won't work.
Windows RT is going to support the ARM architecture, but will be a while (maybe never) before the ability to load it on Android hardware will happen.

Sorry if this has been mentioned but, you do realise you can change the title of the thread your self right? go to edit > advanced
Sent from my Samsung N130 Netbook powered by Android-x86

If Arm is currently what the devices are using, you'll need to obtain the current MSDN/RTM edition... Otherwise, if you have USB/MicroSD capabilities, you can install Windows to it and normally windows will find generic drivers but if you can get a windows display, that in itself is good news.

figured I'd bump this thread as I have a slate 7 and I'm trying to get the thing to recognize my usb disk drive. Currently I'm having no luck.
I've tried plugging the usb drive directly into the slate as well as into a powered usb hub and nothing seems to make the device see the usb drive.
The hub is good because the usb keyboard I'm using allows me to navigate the bios with the keys and what not but when I go to the boot menu, where it says usb cd drive it just says ":None" and only lists the internal hdd.
this has worked just fine with several other types of tablets but this samsung is the first to simply not recognize the drive at all. Bios settings are all factory default BTW.
Any ideas?

First I recommend you remove the stick from any device and only plugged straight in the stick.
Also, did you create the USB Stick with the Microsoft USB Stick Creator? If not, try it and also let me know what you used previously.

Step-By-Step: Get USB 3 Ports Working on Win 8 (For Issues With ADB/Fastboot and RR)

You need to install Win7's USB drivers on Win8 in order to get ADB/Fastboot working on Win 8. I drove myself mad until some kind soul here (can't remember who) provided the following link. Hope this helps some of you exasperated with getting RumRunner working.
Plugable

be warned, I have tried this 3 times already, and at some point throughout, on EVERY try, my computer would just STOP recognizing my USB devices, and I would have to use a recovery image on my computer because i couldnt log in to my desktop.
YMMV, but it didnt work at all for me

I made this guide. What I had to do was edit some Windows8 settings and install the drivers manually to get them to work.

This worked beautifully for me on Windows 8.1 RTM x64, thanks much.

I tried all this and still couldn't use Fastboot. My fix was in BIOS. I disabled xHCI mode in USB under advanced tab and everything is fine.

Worked great for me! Thanks!

Hi.I am creating a thread on this problem and I am using your idea on it and I will give credit to you too.
thanks alot.

Just wanted to let you guys know I got it working by installing pdanet. It installed it's drivers and everything worked after that.

My laptop has 2 USB 3 ports and 1 USB 2 port. fastboot/adb doesn't work on the 3s. I always use the 2 port and it works perfectly fine.

Guys the problems with windows 8 and windows 8.1 are normally the usb 3.0 drivers. Intel have not posted windows 8 drivers for series 7 and series 8. You need to modify the windows 7 drivers with other inf files. I have done the job for you so you can manually install the drivers.

I wasn't aware HTC released 8.1 drivers. I will give these a try. Thanks!

I just made a usb stick carrying win7 to boot off of on my girl's win8.1 laptop. Works wonderfully, the only issue i had when using this guide was i had to manually set the boot sector after finishing running the application.

Updated HTC Drivers?

As some of you may know, Windows 8 and 8.1 kills ADB and Fastboot. Does anybody have any workarounds?
Right now I can only get "Device Failed Enumeration" in device manager.
We really need HTC to send out some updated drivers.

Maybe this below? I don't use WIN8 and most likely never will, but ....
http://www.droid-life.com/2013/04/08/koush-releases-universal-adb-driver-for-windows/

I already tried the universal drivers, still doesn't work.
I ended up using Mavericks, since I triple boot I have windows, OS X and Ubuntu at my disposal. Quite nice really.
But, I would like to get this working in the future.

This will only work if you have Intel(R) USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller. But I have done this and mine is working fine.

I'm guessing you tried the latest HTC Sync/drivers and they still aren't working on 8.1?
Link to 2.4.11.0 drivers/sync manager
I'm on Linux, so I have no idea if they are working or not, just thought I'd ask/mention it in case you hadn't tried already.

Those worked, but as soon as I got into bootloader they stopped working.

That's strange because I know Windows 8 worked but when I updated to 8.1 it stopped.

Windows 8.1 changed unsigned driver policy. Again. Every version since Vista has made it increasingly more difficult to install drivers that are not WHQL verified.

Maybe they will get them updated

Be Advised, Under win8.1/X64 that if you have(like me) an Intel 8 /c220 (or with a 4th generation like intel I7 4770k) you may encounter a big mess , and perhaps you''l have to do a clean install of win 8.1 : all the usb2 DEVICES were disconnected after the first iusb3xhc.inf driver install !! So no more usb/Bluetooth keyboard+mouse , fortunately i had an old ps2 keyboard and i was able to delete only with "tab/alt Tab/ctrl tab" keys the "intel usb3 extensible " line in device manager, and as soon as i done a refresh (ALT+A) in device manager the previous driver(Microsoft) was reinstalled by win 8.1 andall the usb2 devices connected (mouse/keyb/hub etc)
http://plugable.com/2012/12/01/wind...host-controllers/comment-page-3#comment-19066
see there there's in the last comments at the bottom , Andrew(tks to him!)a link + modified drivers for intel8/c220)
and for me it worked mouse/keyB were functional during all the process
next step check the fastboot adb is working now

Try creating a live ubuntu CD and run that. You will then be able to use the Linux platform to adb without editing your boot partition on your pc.

Since i bought new desktop (Dell) my usb do not see my oneplus 7t. since i can see it on my laptop the problem must be with my usb driver.
