I did a quick search here but could not find any answer.
I am running rooted Android 2.2 on my Fascinate. PDANet works just fine every time I start it. But after a few minutes the "USB connected" message would pop up and prompts if I want to connect the phone as mass storage. I already checked the USB Debugging option and tried all three USB connection setting options (mass storage, media player, ask when connected) but the problem still remains. To prove it's not a PDANet related problem, I also tried EasyTethering and got the same issue.
Has anybody here experienced the same problem with tethering? I used wireless tether before but the connection keeps dropping. So I really want to be able to tether through USB. Thanks in advance.
Forgot to mention that my computer is a MacBook Pro.
It is a Mac issue. I have a MacBook pro and I have the same issue. It doesn't do this when I am connected and tethered to a PC. Anybody have a Mac solution for this?

I had suspected Mac might have been the culprit. Thank you for your response, otherwise I would have flashed back to 2.1 by now.
Do you think running parallel desktop on Mac and tethering through the virtual Windows is going to help? I know the hardware is still Mac. Unfortunately that Macbook is the only machine that I need to tether.

Yes, I think running windows would probably solve the issue although I'm not sure. It's in theory. I think the Mac OS is the issue. If you try it let me know the results please. I haven't done it because I would have to format my Mac partition and that means that I would have to backup my Mac and that means getting an external HD. Know what I mean?

Parallel desktop runs Windows on top of the Mac OS. So it shouldn't cause this much disturbing, although it would be less likely to help with this tethering issue compared to bootcamp --- I will update this thread after I try. Thanks again.

Actually, what I was talking about was bootcamp. Sorry, I misunderstood. I think you're right, I don't think the parallel would work. Either way let me know. Thanks.

What are you guys using to tether via usb? I've searched and found nothing. It's on my roommates non rooted x10a.
I use PDAnet for USB tethering. There's also an app called Easy Tether, but I haven't tried it...

Hello,
Do not know about android market there, but in india, pdanet and easy tether both are available for the X10. I mysef am using easy tether...works gr8

I use the free version of EasyTether. But, it doesnt open https websites, which can be frustrating.
Some carriers block certain apps especially AT&T, i have a X10a R2CA016 i just used sideload wonder machine you need a pc though and for those mac users i would recomend usind parallels desktop.
Other than that it depends on how you do it!
I need help i have been trying to get my phone to tether but no luck i have PdaNet installed but my computer states that the phone is not attached when obviously it is, tried barnacle no luck either, aka ive tried a couple apps some of them give me an error saying that my kernel does not support this feature!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
any you guys have a suggestion?
would be greatly appreciated

As the subject states I want to know if there is any possible way to connect to another android phone from my Atrix and push files to and root other non-rooted files?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Are you just asking how to send files between phones? If so u can use Bluetooth, wifi file explorer, swap sdcards or send an email with the file...if not then you need to be more specific.
Sent from my Transformer TF101
I would suppose it would be possible if you're using weptop & the lapdock or maybe the media dock
Yeah to be more specific in the small area I live Im about the only person who knows how to root phones and I have several people wanting me to do it for them. Currently the only method I have is via my dinosaur desktop.
Was hoping someone could direct me to a file, app, or method to use my Atrix to root other phones without involving a desktop or laptop computer.

Z4Root from the market works on a few phones - worth a try
Knowing which phones and the carriers would help to start also.
So far most of the people needing to root are using a Samsung Captivate on AT&T.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
I think that what he wants to do is something like fire up a terminal window on his atrix, connect via ADB to the other phones using that terminal window, and basically eliminate the need for a pc.
That's a great question. As far as an answer goes. I ain't got no clue.

when i had my captivate i would use superoneclick but you need a desktop. try looking for a root method that involves using system recovery to flash a zip file that way you can just carry the file in your phone and transfer to theirs. im not up to date with the captivate so i dunno if a method exist.
To access another phone remotely, you want to be on the same WiFi LAN and install something like SSHDroid for a SSH daemon on the other machine, so you can connect using Android Terminal Emulator over wifi instead of a usb cable and using ADB.
If this is all greek to you, start googling!

I don't think that will work. He's trying to get root on the other phone, but SSHDroid is fairly gimped unless you already have root on the phone. Also, Android Terminal Emulator would probably be useless. You'd need to find an ssh client from the market instead.
There's a thread in the dev section for an arm version of adb. That would actually let you connect another phone to your Atrix and run adb commands off of it... If you have the lapdock. If you don't, I don't know of any way to connect two phones directly by cable.
The update.zip + bluetooth method suggested by neotekz is probably the more realistic method, since I assume you don't have the lapdock.

It's on the market, but as I said, it won't work as you're hoping. I mean, how can you use the "su" command to be able to do all the good stuff unless that other phone has already been rooted? But since the point is to try to get root, it's a chicken and egg thing.
Look into the update.zip thing. Or if you succeed with sshdroid and SSH, come back here and let us know how because I'd really be curious to know how you managed it

If you're on a stock AT&T build, you should still be able to root with GingerBreak, but then again, I'm not even sure if they have sideloading enabled yet, so that may not even be an option. It's been nothing but GingerBlur and HKTW for me since they were released.
Hi guys,
Im trying to help a friend, He has the Verizon Samsung Fascinate, the phone is rooted, has super user. I Dl'd and installed the Android wifi tether 2.07apk from the google dev site. started up the app. started tether without issue, looked on my Toshiba Thrive Tablet, found the android tether wifi, tried to connect and message pops up on my tablet stating something about adhoc is not supported.
I have a Droid Incredible running Nil's sense 3.5 rom and have the same android tether app, I can start up tethering, turn tethering on, connect and surf the web on my tablet, with no mention of the adhoc compatibility thing.
Im not up on Samsung devices, I have always had HTC phones. So im not sure if this a Samsung issue or what.
I compared his tether app settings to mine and both are the same.
Im at a loss here and could really use some advice about how to fix the issue.
Thanks
Hitch
Try downloading the newer version 3 beta 6 from here http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...tail?name=wifi_tether_v3_1-beta6.apk&can=2&q=
Be sure to go into settings and change device-profile to samsung fascinate.
It may work with that version...

Thanks for moving the thread, I had posted another topic in the Q&A.

Still hoping someone has some ideas to help out.

Which rom is installed? Is it just stock Touchwiz with root? I ask because if your friend is willing to try CM7, the built-in tethering works beautifully.

its called Evil Fascinate from the samsung galaxy forums. I told him he needs to start getting his roms from here, he just rooted for the first and has a lot to learn.
I know he likes roms that are really themed, If you any suggestions for a stable, themed rom that has tether baked in I will flash it for him and see if he likes it.
Thanks

can't he just download opengarden tether or barnicle tether from market or am I missing something?

I have tried barnicle, but We get the same message when trying to connect from our tablet to the phone (AdHoc is not supported) and it wont connect, no matter what tether app I try I get the AdHoc not supported message.
I dont get this message when tethering my tablet to my Droid Incredible.
Thats why I was thinking it had to do with Samsung firmware, but I really have no idea and Im hoping that you Samsung guys can get my friend fixed up.
An easier question might be "what tether app do you use on your Fascinate"
Hitch
I use open garden, but I have never tried tethering to a tablet...only pc's.
Meh, easy fix for the ad-hoc thing. In wifi tether (I use pre10, 6 should work) go to settings, set your device profile to Google NexusOne and your setup method to Netd (master) and it will run in infrastructure mode and run fine. Tablets will connect and receive internet.
Hey guys. I posted in the Jailbreak thread but didn't get any response. I need help unlocking my bootloader. Here is where I'm at:
My Windows Vista PC sees my phone and Android ADB. The Galaxy Note Toolkit sees my phone. Casual does not. It just sits at "disconnected" and won't let me do anything.
I have disabled every pierce of AV and MSE. I tried every USB port. I have rebooted both phone and PC in varying combinations.
I am a n00b to the GN2 but I'm quite experienced in modding. I am just having problems getting Casual to work.
Please help?
Did you try with another cable?

Try unplugging all your USB devices and using a different cable. When using casual I had to uninstall the Sammy mobile device drivers for it to work.

Did that. I tried 2 different Samsung data cables, still nothing. Even did a factory reset since my PC once had an error that my Android ID was missing and I can't check for software updates, thought maybe something went weird with the phone setup. Still nothing.
So I know the drivers are there, I know the data cables are good and I know the ports are working. All AV is shut down. Where is the roadblock here?
On a related note: When I tried to use the connection help on Kies, Kies told me my device wasn't supported. Could that be a part of what I'm running into?
Since VZW has to have their hands in every aspect of things they locked the use of kies. I haven't found a way to get it to work yet. Don't remember if kies air works but that wouldn't help the issue.
This is confusing, the next thing I would try is flashing stock with the .pit file and trying again. Or it could be a java issue since the CASUAL exploit is written in java, that seems more likely to me. In Adam Outlers thread for CASUAL he linked a java checker. Try that and make sure your good with java

What about this:
When I connect my phone to the PC, it initially shows up as an installer. I then have to go in to change it to a MTP device.
Could that be causing this somehow?
It could be. Make it a media device and retry everything. If that doesn't work then find the bay where pirates hangout and get win7 on your computer and retry it. I've only ever rooted on win 7 and win 8

I had this problem too. I had to unlock the hidden menu and set the phone as MTP + ADB to get CASUAL to properly recognize it.
Have you ever disabled your Internet connection and click "do it". See if it does anything.

When i turn on usb tethering in atrix phone windows computers starts connection but the adapter has no ip address and i can't access the internet.
If i set ip address manually in windows sometimes i can access the internet.
I also have tried "wired tether for root users" and it doesn't work either.
Carrier doesn't block tether usage.
Any idea how to solve this?
I think the dhcp server in the phone is not working.
I'm looking for a solution not involving third party apps. Just android phone and maybe command line.

How come people never mention the most critical information when asking questions?

Also why can't people learn that questions expecting answers need to go to Q&A?
