Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone could help?
My device is a HTC Desire 620, single sim (a31lu).
I have managed to install a custom recovery, root, and flash lollipop using Patrik.KT's build (the only available custom ROM for this particular device).
When my phone is on it's stock firmware, (KK 4.4, Sense 6, I believe), USB tethering works flawlessly with my Asus rt56u, and I'm able to share my internet connection.
When I'm on Lollipop, the USB tethering option stays greyed out and it fails to connect. I've tried it on a PC, and it recognises the device, but it then makes the sound as if I have removed the USB cable.
I have tried modifying the build.prop for net.provisioning and the settings for settings.db for tethering_dun_required=0 that are available anywhere on the interweb, to no avail.
Could this be a kernel problem? I've had this happen on an old S3 and a change of kernel was able to resolve the issue, but there are no kernels available for this phone.
Could anyone please help?
Many thanks.
Is anyone able to help at all?

I installed Super Jelly Bean v4.0 with the Fusion v5.5 kernel on my Xperia Ray without any issues, except that USB tethering is not working. Each time I check off the USB tethering box, it unchecks itself and nothing happens. Sometimes, it will display the message "USB tethering error".
I had USB tethering working with the regular factory firmware (v4.1.0.562 and all the previous versions I had before) with my Windows 7 Pro pc. Does anyone know if there are any logs I can check to see what is going wrong? Any suggestions on what I can do?

I think I figured it out. With the phone plugged in, I went into Device Manager and uninstalled the NDIS device, disconnected and then reconnected the phone. The stock firmware must have used an old/incompatible NDIS driver.
hmm.,.. tethering worked after I re-installed the driver. Now that I turned tethering off, and tried turning back on again, it has failed. Is anyone else having issues?

I uninstalled the driver in Windows again, and disconnected/reconnected my phone to my pc and it has started to work again. It seems this is the only way to get it working. I would post this in the development section where I downloaded the firmware, but I don't have sufficient access, or not enough posts....
I have the International (i9300) S3 and am running Temasek's ROM (v99.4), but I cannot connect it to my PC via USB. I am currently using AirDroid for all my Phone to PC transfers, but ADB is also not working and this will cause a problem in the future if I manage to brick my device. The only way to use ADB on my device currently is to boot into recovery (PhilZ Touch 5). This problem has been occurring for that last few months, but as I believe it is an isolated incident I didn't post about it. I decided to start this thread to see if anyone was having the same problem and to see if anyone found a work-around or fix for it.
Thanks in advance,

EDIT: Turns out it was my cord. For some reason the stock Samsung Micro-USB cable was not working correctly.
have you enabled debugging in developer options, or tried reinstalling all drivers
Thanks for the quick reply. Yes I have reinstalled all drivers and I do have it enabled in Developers Options. It does not show up in Device Manager as "Other devices" so this leads me to believe that it might be an issue with the device itself.
I have tried reinstalling using drivers from Faryaab's thread and it is still not working. I believe this might be an issue I am going to have to live with.
I recently noticed that my wifi only z4 tab is missing the portable hotspot/tethering menu from the more... menu inside settings (it's completley gone not just disabled). I tried the fxp aosp rom and it has the options for tethering but nfc and screen rotation don't work on that rom + there is no recovery for it that i could find (androplus one wouldn't boot into recovery so i guess its just for the stock rom). Is this something nobody has on the z4 tab or is something wrong with my device (the option still wasn't there after reflashing a factory rom with flashtool)? Does anyone know a way to enable at least the USB tethering as i need that the most or is there a recovery that works with the fxp rom?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as it is becoming more and more annoying working with the small screen of a phone (i use the usb tethering to make the device act as a display for a Raspberry PI with VNC).
Afaik wireless tethering / portable hotspot is only possible with the LTE version. It's logical too, on your phone you can only wirelessly tether your data connection, not another WiFi network.
I don't know what exactly you want to do with USB tethering. Do note that you might need to use the 'detect USB' function for USB stuff to work. By default the USB port is not checking for attached devices, because of the waterproofness.

Ah okay... That's a shame... but thank you for telling me anyway, its the first device i have that had the option missing (2013 n7 WiFi only has it and its useful to connect the tab to a WiFi and tether with USB to a computer) so i didn't really know what to think of it Maybe any idea on how to get the androplus recovery or any custom recovery working with the fxp aosp rom? If there is a way I could at least flash gapps and supersu.

I can only guess based on what I've read, but I suggest checking the AndroPlus kernel thread or starting a new one with this specific question.
Took my N9 from bone stock to unlocked, rooted (with Magisk), custom ROM and kernel; all without issue about 6 weeks ago. Today, I connect it to the same Mac laptop and Android File Transfer cannot see the N9 to transfer files. Charging is activated, but the app does not autostart on the Mac as usual, and when I bring it up manually it says no android device connected.
Developer options on the N9 look fine, ADB and OEM unlocking set to on. Anyone seen anything like this?
EDIT: Turned out to be not one, but two iffy (??) USB cables. Cables provided with an Anker charger work fine.

I just tried on Mac mini running Sierra (N9 is stock, unlocked and rooted with EX kernel but no Magisk). Once I selected the file transfer option on the tablet, all my files showed up in AFT. It could be the cable even if it works with others. Of course you've rebooted both. Make a nandroid back-up then install stock to see what happens. I normally work with Windows so can't help beyond confirming that my set up works with Mac.

Hi everyone,
Had this problem for a while now, my Samsung S6 Edge performed an overnight update to Android 7.0 and ever since the USB port does not work for data transfers. Charging works fine. Also Samsung GEAR VR doesn't work.
I had the port replaced twice, no change. I tried three different windows based PCs different cables everything reinstalled the driver, even tried a Mac computer, and still not working
OTG devices also don't work.
I think its a corrupt android partition maybe but the problem is I can't flash another android ROM onto it because ODIN doesn't see the phone either (lol)
Is there any way of getting android flashed on it another way? I would be happy to try a custom ROM if I could figure out how to flash it
Also the phone isn't rooted unfortunately
Many thanks Paul

Go to developer options and then change USB configuration. Try that see if it helps.
I'm at the same boat pls if you solve this problem tell me how
