attempted reverse tether...now usb transfer doesnt work - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

stock rom rooted.
ok...wanted to do reverse tether (use pc internet connection on GS2)
froze tetheringmanager and used the built in android tether. Ran
su
netcfg usb0 dhcp
from terminal which the command hung (didnt return to prompt...evidently happens and I didnt go any further with trying the tether). Had to close the terminal window
Now I have a problem
On a separate PC from above I now cannot get MTP or USB debugging to let me transfer files. Ived used the android "usb utilities" and tried the connect storage to PC. It does a loop of "disconnect cable" and then "connect cable" but my PC never shows it connected. The cable is connected because my battery charges. I have successfully connected to this PC before all this.
RELP!

[Q] USB Debugging Connected message displayed

I installed VEGAn-7 RC1 on my g Tablet. When I try to connect USB to my computer, I can't see the drive on my Windows XP. and there is that message "USB debugging connected" displayed on the notification.
Can anyone please help?
Thanks,
Kelvin
Uh...I'm not sure about Vegan 7, but on every Rom I've ever used (Vegan 5.1.1, Brilliant corners, Flashback, Gtabcomb, Beasties, and Calk/Clem) you need to tap the notification, and select connect to USB, then you get a screen that allows you to "activate USB transfer."
If you click on the actual notification (in notificatons) it should open a dialog "USB connected on tablet" with an Activate USB transfer button & a Hide button...click Activate USB Transfer and it will enable the PC to connect.
By the way, with USB debugging turned on you can access the tablet file systems via adb.
Thank you so much for your reply. I tap on the notification and can't find any option "USB connected on tablet" or "Activate USB transfer" button. So, what is adb?
Thanks,

ADB stands for Android Debug Bridge. Involves downloading & installing java & android sdk's & ADB drivers. Allows command line access to the Android filesystem. But your PC must be able to detect the gtab before you can install the adb drivers needed to access it that way.
Look in your Device Manager & see if you have a device called Android Phone while your gTab is connected via USB!
You may want to try USBDview http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html. It's supposed to show currently connected usb devices and previously connected devices. May be useful if you are just missing the device in Device Manager.
Thanks for your replay. I finally found out what the problem is. I downloaded the VEGAn 7 version with the clemsyn kernal, which has a known issue with USB connection with gTablet. Then I downloaded and installed the one with pershoot kernal and everything run fine. However the pershoot kernal don't have overclock. A bit slower than the one with clemsyn kernal.
I believe pershoot is overclockable to 1.4Ghz. You may have to download/install setcpu to enable overclocking. Search the forums to be sure.

[View] Mac or PC will not recognize tablet via USB (is Dropbox desktop the culprit?)

I have a stock Evo View running Honeycomb 3.2.1. Interestingly, neither of my computers, both mac and pc, will detect my tablet when I connect it by USB. This worked just a few weeks ago when I moved some files onto the device. The tablet charges through USB, but I do not get the notification option to use as USB storage. Within "settings > connect to pc" I've tried a number of configurations (default configuration type = disk drive, charge only) and I have also tried checking and unchecking "ask me about USB connection type whenever I connect my tablet to a PC." Nothing new happened.
Additionally, on the mac, I have the Android File Transfer app installed. When I open that i get a notification that says "No Android Device Found"
Coincidentally, I recently installed the Dropbox desktop beta for Mac which automatically detects pictures on a camera and uploads them to Dropbox. When I connected my device, Dropbox checked my device for pictures because it recognizes it as a camera. I instantly got a system error message saying that my device was not ejected properly. However, the mac never detected my device as a drive. Following that, I tried to connect to my PC and all it does is charge. My PC also does not detect my tablet as a drive. I'm thinking the new dropbox desktop client may have been the culprit for breaking my usb connection between my tablet and mac.
Has anyone else experience this problem? If not, is there a way to rebuild my usb connection between my tablet, mac, and pc?
well i would try uninstalling dropbox
Also in Settings/Applications/Development/Usb debugging should be checked.
Thanks. Appreciate the advice.
I did uninstall dropbox, on the View and on the Mac. That didn't help.
USB Debugging was checked. I can see my device in fastboot and adb. However, neither Mac nor PC will detect my tablet and allow me to mount as a hard drive.
I did a factory data reset and that worked. Both computers will recognize the View and I am receiving the notification "charge only, hard disk, htc sync, etc." again.
I wanted to break the usb connection again to confirm that it was in fact either dropbox's android beta, desktop beta, or a combination of the two. I am fairly certain that something broke the first time around because the desktop beta was able to scan my device for photos without my permission to mount the View as a hard disk. But now I'm having trouble proving this since I haven't been able to break the connection again.

How to connect to PC without opening USB Mass Storage??

So here is the deal - earlier I could connect my SGS2 to PC with USB Debbuging turned on, and nothing poped up and I could use storage and sd card on PC and at the same time on the phone, like open it with some file explorer, and install apps when still connected to PC... Sound awesome, because now there is this - When I am in USB debbuging and connected to PC, it cant find storages, so I have to disable debugging, and there pops up this USB Mass Storage when i connect the cable. When it is connected to PC, I cant access files on the phone in that moment.... So what is wrong??
Will be pleased for all suggestions..
Thanks

When you connect to computer, dont do it in Debugging mode. If you change it windows (forcing MTP) dont like that. So it will require you to remove phone and reboot. But try the following also
delete all old drivers and remove them in registry. (if needed check the below link)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1882942
Still not working go to device manger "type it in start"
Go to View
Select Hidden Driver
Go To Non_Plug and Play Drivers
Right Click on Hardware Policy Driver
Go To Driver Tab,
Stop this device
and Disable it
Restart Windows ( unplug phone first, disable network card also)
Disable WiFi or network card, (double tap)
Plug in Phone
Allow windows to load the drivers on your phone.
(don't stop this at all)
Look for phone.
Later you can add updated drivers if you would like. Remember windows keeps all old drivers, even if its jacked up. PnP will still run.
This works on Vista and above. haven't tested it on XP.
IMPORTANT
U must re-enable the change to the device manager after this, or each time you reboot it will reload the drivers.

[Android-x86] Any way to "fake" USB ADB connect to another PC via Wi-Fi or cable?

[Android-x86] Any way to "fake" USB ADB connect to another PC via Wi-Fi or cable?
Ok, so I have been trying to connect my laptop to my PC via network ADB but I can't get it to connect. And I'm trying to activate Octopus through "USB ADB" since (even rooted) it does not activate in the device. Tried installing SuperSU but I get "binary directory occupied" and nothing else from it. I'm a novice to using x86 but I want to try and play some low graphics demanding android games. If anyone has anything to contribute, I would very much appreciate.

USB interface will not work with PC/Laptop

Hello! I have a (12+256) Motorola Edge+ 2020 in Pakistan. I bought it last September. Everything works great, except that it won't connect to my computer. I have tried changing the default USB connection to File Transfer but it does nothing. The normal "Connected Devices > USB preferences" window is inactive and only accessible by search which doesn't do anything as well. I have tried using Moto tools to update computer drivers and the "Device Help" to access files. The Device Help WiFi route works fine but won't connect through USB. Changed cables, tried on different computers.
