Just last night I tried to tether my vibrant to the computer via kies 1.5.3. And to my disbelief.. it simply says "This device is not supported by Tethering".
I have had this tethering to work many times before, the only change I can think of is that I recently got an OTA update for the gps fix and now everything stopped working??!
Anyone knows how to make this work again?... and please without rooting the phone if possible
Thanks,
Tim

Ok I'm trying to figure this out sorry if this has been covered before I did a search and couldn't find the awnser to my problem.
This is my situation. My gf does not want to root her phone, But wants to use her phone while I'm gone to connect to her phones web.
I looked up on google and tried to download kies 1.5.3 because I found a method that allows you to connect via usb. Well i cant find the download at all for kies 1.5.3 So what I need is either to connect via usb or wifi sharing app.
So could anyone that either has the kies downloaded share it please?
Or, could you share the apk for wifi sharing please?
Thanks in advance.
I know there is an app in the market that says you can use it to tether your phone's data connection to a computer or whatever. It is $9.99 though. It does claim to be able to work without root. I have not used it, but wanted to let you know I have seen it. If you try it and it works, let us know, I am curious.
Try it right away and if it does not work, then you can get your refund within 15 minutes.
Thank you, You wouldn't know what the name is would you?
The specific one I am thinking of is called EasyTether. however I just put "tether" into the Market search and it brings up a few, some free some not, that claim to work without root. The easytether app even has a free "lite" version you can try out.
Good luck!
Ok sweet downloading it now. I'll post back to let you guys know how it works.
Thank you very much!
Ok, At the momment I'm using easytether to post this. I must say it works just as stated. Thank you once again I'm going to continue to test it out.
Hey that's awesome. My wife also does not want her phone rooted, so will use this if she needs to tether. Thanks for being the guinea pig!
Cheers
Hey guys Easy tether works great. Thats what I used before I rooted and installed custom roms on my phone months ago.
Edit: you said wifi sharing, Easy Tether is usb tethering which is much better because wifi tethering kills you battery quick.

To WiFi tether without root you're going to need a firmware that has the MobileAP application already installed. That will either require Odin, or root so that's out. Other than that you can easily usb tether without root. Don't even need special software if the system is running XP, Vista, or 7. See link below

The Q&A section is his friend too, which is why he posted here. He was provided assistance, and followed up on the help he was given advising us of the result. This thread topic, for now, has been resolved. No further googling is necessary.
I did find this in a search but, I was unable to connect with kies 2.0. I tried to find kies 1.5.3 but everywhere I looked I had to pay or do a long sign up to obtain it. Samsungs site only offers 2.0 which wouldn't allow my gfs phone to connect. I finally downloaded kies mini 1.0. I was able to connect finally but, the mini version doesn't have any option to tether via usb. She has used it most of the night and it works great. So at this point till she let's me root her phone and install cwm and a custom Rom,
This method is working great. For 9.99 I really can't complain as it works wonderfully for her. Once again thanks guys for all your help.

Edit: Just to make it clear the phone is being used to usb tether internet. The laptop at that time can now produce a wifi signal thus connecting other devices through wifi.

Hey I am in need of some help.
Yesterday I decided that I need to root my ATT Motorola Atrix 4G in order to be to able to install third-party software and have the option of checking the unknown sources option and have full functionality of the phone.
So, I started by using the program Superoneclick and I followed all the instructions to the tee. During the rooting or shell rooting process it would freeze up at the 'running psneuter' and then loops and give me this message 'If it keeps looping, try disabling USB debugging now'. I did as it told me and it did not work. I tried the process over and over again for about 2-3 hours and still got the same issues.
So, after hours of researching and trying Superoneclick. I decided to use the Gingerbreak.exe found at briefmobile.com. So that worked I think because in Titanium backup it says it is rooted. What puzzles me is that the phone is supposedly 'rooted' but I don't have the unknown sources option to be checked. Also the superusers icon showed up but I do not even know what to do with that.
I would like assistances or advice when it comes to properly rooting my ATT Motorola Atrix 4G.
Thank you to anyone that can help.
my device doesnt show an option box to enable or disable sideloading but i can still sideload. i am pretty sure that i read the guy that made the hack didnt bother with the check box
also, if it doesnt work for you there is an app you can download from android central called the side loading wonder machine (or something like that). i have used it too and it works great when you are connected to your pc
I want to be able to install produces without having to keep connecting my phone to the computer.
Have you actually tried to install non market apps since rooting? As I said earlier, my phone doesn't indicate that I can side load but I can
Yes and it tells me i can't install it because i need to check that box. Which leads me to believe that the phone is not truly rooted. What do you think?
Being rooted and being able to side load are two different things. It sounds like you are rooted already so now you just have to enable side loading. Read the this thread carefully and see if it solves your issue

Thanks...what will this do exactly? and will i be able to receive the updates from att for the atrix still?
I did everything you did and it worked wonderfully thanks.
One more questions. How come I can install over the air from the market when i am on my pc? Why do i have to do it from the phone directly?

Is your question that you can or cannot use your pc to download to your phone over the air? You should be able to use your pc to push an app onto your phone from the market without wires.

When i am on the market website on my pc and i try to push an app to my phone it doesnt work. I have to go into the market store from my phone in order to get the app.
Just curious, what does this have to do with rooting?

Well i originally was having rooting issues. Now that I was helped and finally got my phone rooted i am experiencing this issue after rooting my phone. So why start a new thread?
I am completely unable to get Kies to see my 10.1 tab on my PC win 7. I always end up with an error message (Cannot start service on the devise. Please disconnect and reconnect the devise).
I tried the trouble shooting connection option, still the same no connection. Anybody have any tips on making that connection?
I always had problems with Task 14
I think mine stopped working via USB with the last update, although it worked over WiFi. Have you tried both?

WiFi works fine, but I don't see option of updating the firmware on WiFi.
In the same boat, trying to get ICS update but won't connect via kies......
wifi works fine.
The only way kies connects for me is using my unrooted backup. Any custom rom won't connect for me. Have you tried that?
I have the same problem. Tried to connect to Kies before the ICS upgrade and just now after performing the ICS upgrade. Nothing works, tried turning on USB debugging, etc.

Does factory reset work? On my HC 3.2 Kies (and USB drivers) were very finicky. Re-installed KIES/Drivers many times and only a factory reset got it primed and working. Have only seen ID mismatches once in a while after Stock ICS, but when it works Kies also recognises the tab.
my galaxy y has same problem after rooting the galaxy y by NeoX BlackStar X1....:crying:
i need to get back my contacts.......:crying:
if you are rooted, then the Tab will not connect to Kies. The same way like some Samsung applications will not work if rooted. So, there are two options that you: root and live free or stay connected to Samsung like an apple lover.... Sorry, but I am terribly upset on Samsung...
If you are stock and cannot connect... try removing all the drivers from PC (check internet for how to remove hidden devices). And try to uninstall and reinstall Kies

My rooted tab connected just fine to Kies.
What I think you mean is that if you're not running a stock ROM, you can't connect to Kies. That's probably the case. Mine is stock but rooted.
Hello!
I'm new to the forum!
I have a galaxy tab 10.1 that is 16GB.
I recently kept hearing about KIES.
So I installed the program. However, whenever I connect my tablet to my computer, KIES wouldn't recognize my tablet.
The only way I can connect the tablet with KIES is through KIES wifi on the tablet setting, which only let's me sync and won't let me update softwares.
Am I the only one having this problem with KIES? or is it just me?
Is there certain things I have to try before trying to connect the tablet?
an answer would be greatly appreciated
p.s.
I have tried reinstalling the driver few times through the connection troubleshoot... it didn't help

I have the exact same problem, have you found a solution yet?
Kies is a POS
I have been busy for almost a year on getting Kies to recognise my tablet. And even though quite a few people have got it working, none of the mentioned solutions work for my situation, except for the factory reset (i.e. wipe your tablet into factory status).
But alas, whenever I reinstall my software Kies will no longer recognise my tablet, and the software is run-of-the-mill stuff, all from Google Play.
So, I just bear it, and wait until the OTA gods are smiling down on me. Once in a while I update/upgrade Kies, re-test that it still does not work, and put Kies in the freezer.
If you try all solutions found in these fora (and not just xda) you might be lucky and find one that works for you, but lower your expectations.
So, probably best is to make backups, wipe to factory reset, get Kies to update and reinstall/restore your backup.
Just out of principle I myself will not be doing that as I will not let Kies dictate my actions. But that is just me.

i know this is super late, i'm sorry >.<;;.
So I didn't have to reset my tablet. Once the ICS update for my tablet was finally released, Kies started working too!
I hope you already figured it out..

ICS by itself worked momentarily on KIES, but 'lost it' again. But the latest KIES release seems to have solved most of the problems. The only problem left for me is that KIES forgets my tablet after I connect another tablet... So connect one P7510 and it recognises it, connect a second P7510 and it recognises that one, but then connecting the first one again and KIES will not recognise it anymore.
Independent of Firmware version (ICS on both) and KIES version... Tried to install an old version of KIES: no luck. Did al the bells and whistles (connect over Wifi and USB at same time and remove Wifi, USB debugging, re-install drivers, KIES, complete cleanup and reinstall) but nothing works anymore. Only a complete Windows factory recovery and install KIES works fine. Not a solution!
I tried to update my P7510 wifi tab using the "About device" ---->"Software update"----->Update button in settings, but for some reason this button is not active; when I touch it nothing happens. It used to work till a few months ago and used to tell me there are no updates available. But for some reason it is not working anymore. I tried to update to ics using Kies but it cannot read the tablet.
I wonder if there is a solution to make the "update" button active again.

Thanks for the tip. I actually managed to install ICS on the tablet by following a convoluted semi-procedure that only works some of the times!
I read on some forum (do not remember where as I read a lot of stuff online in many forums to find a solution for this) that the trick to this is to use the wireless connection capability of Kies at the same time that the tablet is connected to the PC via the cable. It took a few trials and errors to get it right, but eventually it worked and although Kies kept saying that nothing is connected to it, it actually somehow somewhere in its program understood that the tablet is indeed connected to Kies via cable and so it gave me the permission to update the firmware and install ICS.
By the way my tablet is not rooted. I think the problem initially happened a few months a go when I uninstalled (or stopped, not sure) the "update" task of android. From then on, the tablet could not connect to its server to see if an update is available.
On a separate note, ICS seems fine to me but the lag in video/live stream issue is not good. I also hope like many others here for Samsung to come up with a fix for this soon.
