I have rooted 2.3.5 S2. I also have router and a laptop that doesnt have wifi adapter. Now im wondering if its possible to use s2 as a wifi adapter? I would connect s2 with usb cable to laptop and then tether internet from the router trough s2 and usb cable to computer. Is is possible? What software do I need?
Possible without software
settings\wireless and network\tethering and portable hotspot\usb tethering
that 's it!
Thanks it worked on Windows 7. But I also have Windows XP and it doesnt work there. I assume I need to install driver? Which one? Kies? Is possible to install only driver and not kies because I dont want to have that piece of sh*t on pc?
Bump! Anyone?
Just install kies thats it!

Can I use the USB host adapter to tether to my android phone for internet access?
[edit]
Even connecting to a USB verizon modem would be am option?
Thanks,

You want to use a usb modem stick? Asked that b4. It seems impossible. It would be great though. If someone could dump or cook a rom from the 3g version to detect the USB modem in the wifi version, I would get rid off my cradlepoint router.

@peare: Are you referring to this thread? If so what was the outcome? The thread appears to have run dry with a request for dmesg. I suspect there is a similar problem with the phone tether needing an NDIS driver, I wonder if these could be installed on a rooted device without cooking the ROM?
It shouldnt be that difficult i suppose. I dont know linux, so i cant say anything. We need a line in wireless settings to point us to a APN. 3g model has a modem installed, I am inserting the modem externally. So whats the big deal? Some drivers and an application should do that for us.
I was wondering if there is way to get the USB tether to work with out downloading divers? The PC I use at times during any allow anything to be loaded onto it therefore the drivers won't load... I'm running a samsung galaxy nexus.

Just wondering, why don't you use WIFI tethering feature.
Just put the phone in wifi tethering mode and use the phone as a wifi hotspot. It's much easier.
HOW TO?
My pc has no wifi system.....
please tell me your suggestion in details about wifi tethering.....
hi everyone,
this is my first post on xda so go easy on me
Im using a Galaxy S3 running Cyanogentmod 10.1. here is my question:
I would like to connect my PC to the internet using a USB cable connected to my phone. now here is the important part, I want the to use the wifi connection on my phone and NOT THE DATA PLAN . here's what i'm doing:
1. connect phone to PC via USB cable.
2. enable usb tether.
Windows installed the drivers for it, connection is established and i get an ip address from the phone but cant access the internet.
What am i doing wrong?
Hi,
I have TAB264 Yarvik. Only thing I need is to connect it to the RasPI and make USB tether. I test it on Arch Linux on my notebook. I can plug my phone with usb tethering allowed and than I am able to connect to the internet.
However, there is no such option on my TAB264. There is original ROM (4.2.2). I have installed some USB tether apps but nothing worked.
Do I need root or even new ROM? Or is it hardware dependent?
Thank you.
P.S. I can see the tablet in ADB if it helps.
