Tethering USB doesn't work on my HD2 - Android

I've cooked my latest Android ROM with "cyanogenmod_183" and latest tytung's kernel "r_12_beta", and my tethernig USB doesn't work!
Instead, wi-fi hotspot work very fine!
When connect my USB cable to the PC (Windows 7), it doesn't detect my PDA... and i can not even use my phone as USB Mass Storage.
I've included into my rom, the files "hosts" and "resolv.conf" for HD2.. but nothing to do...
When tap to activate Tethering USB, i see the error message "USB not connected"! 0_o
Where i wrong? How i can fix this problem?
Thanx to all..

I hoped for any answers... it's possible that on the famous xda no one can explain me how i can fix my problem or where i've wrong? 0_o
We aren't all informatic engineers.. no everybody has attended a school in computer science! I'm here to learn... i've searched for any topic that can resolve my problem, but i can't find it...
I hoped for any answers, but also only one answer with this text: "we don't want help you!" would be sufficient!!!

Did you install the drivers ?

I've read in someone thread that the only two files
that i need are these two:
hosts
resolv.conf
[\QUOTE]
Are these the drivers? If not, can you tell me
how i can install them?

Does USB mass storage works - in other words, does your phone show the USB logo in the notification bar on the top (and when you pull down the notification bar, you should have a notification to enable USB mass storage drive).
See if that works - that is the indication that the computer is detecting the phone. Also check your device manager to see if Android phone is listed.
Finally, you will get better help if you post in the HD2 Android Q&A section.

Problem solved... i've forget the bin file named "vold" in "system/bin" folder!
The two files "hosts" and "resolv.conf" that i've pasted into "system/etc" folder aren't enough... they need a binary file named "vold" into "system/bin" folder to work properly!
Now my HD2 Tethering USB work very fine!
Thank you for the answers!

USB issue Kies starts, but not recognised

When I plug USB cable in my win64 device manager recognises the usb connection as "SAMSUNG Mobile USB Composite Device"
Kies automatically starts.
but Kies does not does not connect to my phone
nor does my phone show in "My computer"
If I enter storage mode then I can access SD card and external card.
of significant note is I recently did a full format and installed Check's Dark Knight Edition Rom (but I can't post there due to newb restrictions).
I have tried to reinstall drivers using Kies but that hasn't worked.
I have deleted the drivers from PC using device manager and allowed windows to reinstall them.
any help is greatly appreciated, thank you
I get no error messages
I've tried connecting with debug mode... it installs drivers but still computer doesn't recognise phone.
Still phone appears connected in device manager.
You have to close all open programs on your phone and return it to the home page. Until you do this your phone will not connect. You should then see a Usb Plug on your screen. It should then say Initializing and then connected. Then you should see it in My Computer and get into you phones files though there too.
Hope this Helps......
Thanks.. but I know about that and it isn't that.. also.. since installing LiteningRom this has not been necessary... but good call thank you.
I've tried to connect on a different computer and was unable to connect to that.. so possibly an issue with the phone?
Could it be that you have activated the "USB debugging" mode under settings->applications->development?
So I install Cognition S2 ROM and it works fine!

Nope not that.. I had turned debugging USB on and off a number of times in the hope it would do something.. but nope
Just to test this out...
I reinstall Check's Dark Knight Edition Rom and once again I cannot connect to my computer...
I will remove this rom, factory rest and install something else
I have noticed.. 2 extra drives appear in "my Computer"... I can't access them but they appear when I plug in my phone.. and disappear when I remove it
so clearly my external and internal cards phone SD cards are not being recognised correctly when using Check's Dark Knight Edition Rom...
any ideas?
and yes I have removed, deleted drivers numerous times... installed via Kies installed via auto Windows
ok... installed Cognition S2 ROM and connected to computer... it the phone says MPT - initialisation then MPT- connection it didn't say this with dark rom!
For anyone else having this issue, it seems to be related to MTP. MTP is present in cognition, and removed from Check's rom, you can easily add this back in to make it work.
I've done a search for this with the intention of reinstalling it..
but I cannot find anything... maybe my search is off or I'm not using the correct keyword.. any help here would be great.
Also.. as this seems to be removed from a number of ROMs I have a further question.. what is the alternative?
Thanks

Thanks.. but still what do ppl use to back up their phones? if they haven't got this installed?
Dizzee, I had the exact same problem as yours and solved it my removing "USB debugging" in settings, as Alchemius mentioned previously. Can you double check you've done this.

[Q]Can not transfer files to device via USB

Hi,
My USB is behaving really wierd.
If I use USB debug my device is not recognized at al by my computer. With USB debug unchecked it's recognized and I can view and delete files but not transfer any new one. Transfer just results in a timeout saying "device disconnected".
This applies to both the internal and external card.
Tired different cables, different computers and operative systems.
Please help, tired of transfer files via keys air all the time :/

Hey,
when u have the Debugging mode activated and want to see it on PC, u have to hit the notification, which appears when u connect it.
Then press connect USB and it should appear on PC
When u don't use this mode it went in an "Kies-mode" which PC directly recognize.
Or when u go to settings>Wireless etc>USB and press here "Use USB as Masstorage" it's the same like when u press activate on notification while debuggin mode.
Hope I helped a bit ...

Transfer a small file see if that times out .

I know this is not a solution to your problem, but I recommend transferring files over wifi (NOT KIES AIR) which, to me, is much more simpler and better way.
Here is how:
first install free "SwiFTP FTP Server" application from Market
install it and enter desired username and password. Enable wifi and start application.
On your computer or laptop, install some FTP client (I recommend "Filezilla").
Enter user information you previously configured on your smartphone, connect and voila! You know have access to all of your smartphone's files and folders.
Like I said, for me, this is much better and simpler way of transferring files than using USB cable. Give it a try and see.

Hello if you are not able to find the usbStorage folder in the My Files Application on the android do the following. .
1. Open the My Files Application.
2. Click on your options and select RENAME
3.You will see the usbStorage folder now and just make the first letter Capital.
You should be all set. The My Files app will see it now.
Good Luck.

Disabling OTA updates after pre-rooted ICS update

If, like me, you're one of those persons who used S.onyTablet.S v3.4 [ALLinONE] to update your firmware to a pre-rooted ICS 4.0.3 and lost ADB support afterwards, but are tired of the nagging notification telling you there's an update, do the following:
Use your favorite file explorer app to navigate to /system/app/ and simply rename "Automagic.apk" to something like "Automagic.apk.bak". This will disable those notifications and give you the option of undoing it later-on (remove the ".bak" you placed on the name) WITHOUT using ADB.
Gotta thank condi for the solution to my problem 'cause i actually took the fix right out of his tool's coding, so thanks man!

If you installed and used Condi's UMS inSD and UMS exSD scripts, that may be your problem. After using the USB Mass Storage scripts, I lost use of ADB. I solved the problem by turning on USB debugging, connecting my tablet to my computer via USB, then selecting "Connect as Media Device (MTP)" found at Settings > Storage. I have to do this each time I use the scripts. It appears the UMS scripts interfere with the computer's or ADB's ability to detect devices.
I lost ADB support to...
EDIT: problem solved.
I have just reinstalled the driver manually.

I actually haven't used them. The problem is that before ICS, device manager only recognized "Sony tablet S", but now there's also a "Sony_tablet" that has no drivers associated with it and if i try to install the same drivers i used originally... ERROR... so yeah, i've had to manage myself without adb... THE PAAAAAAAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

In my case, it just reinstalled the same drivers and stayed with the same problem; sad thing is that the costumer took the tablet already so i can't keep testing possibilities.
I lost ADB support also, I also used the tool supplied with Condis program for mounting internal or external memory, I left the wrong one mounted and this stopped the ADB working, I was connecting via USB but I nothing showed.. I eventually after changing the storage mounting option back it worked.
PS to Condi: A little note when connecting to AIO tool to remind people to put the storage into the correct mode would help dzięki za twoją pomoc! :-D

How to copy files from PC to S3?

I´m new to this Mtp thing. I had a HOX until now and that was a breeze there.
So how is everybody copying files (non-media files) to sd-card pr ext-sd-card?
thx, nearly
Bro I just plugged my phone into my PC and my PC download the drivers needed.. recognized phone and bam. Go into computer and find your device. If you double click on it it should bring up your SD card.. From there I just drag and drop files.

Just like a USB stick. I connect to PC and it pops up. Maybe because I.have development option ticked but don't think it's that. Just download the latest version of kies for the drivers.

Really sucks...
Can't use the phone while transferring large files
What about connecting the phone to a PS3, does that work?
i cant remember the last time i connected a phone to a computer for file transfers.
get samba share from the market or use es file explorer to transfer files to network shares on the pc.
LOL WIRES.
MTP/Kies really suck. My main pc is running Linux so that's a no-go with MTP. I installed Kies on my work pc as it runs Win 7. All SGS 3 drivers are installed as well. For the first few days it was working but now the phone isn't recognised anymore. Either the phone does not show at all on the pc, or it shows but the internal and external SD cards are not showing.
Saw on Samsung's website that there's a Kies version for Mac available so I installed that on my wife's macbook pro. When plugging the phone in the "connecting" message keeps running but the phone never connects. I thought it was because I'm not using the original USB cable, but using that won't work either.
So looking forward to a custom rom that has USB mass storage included. Until then I'm using the WiFi File Transfer Pro and/or Samba Sharing apps.
You can also install Kies Air from the play store on your phone. You won't have to install anything on your PC.
Just make sure you are on the same network as your PC and run the app.
It will start a server and the URL will be displayed on your device.
Enter this URL in your browser on the PC and you are ready to go

How can I copy file to /data directory?
I use Cyberduck on my Mac to connect to the SGS III by SSH, I have an app called SSHDroidPro on my phone. So easy to use. I can browse the entire filesystem of the phone wirelessly and file transfer is pretty fast and totally painless. MUCH better than Kies Air IMO.
