no tethering windows Xp

just tried tethering my nexus s to my work desk top to be "off grid" but i'm having issues.
I cant for the life of me tether the NS to the computer (running windows xp -32bit).
i was able to do this fine on the n1, but no go on the nexus. the computer just doesn't recognize it.
I've down loaded the tetherxp.inf file, but when point the setupwizard to it, it can't find it.
wth??????
then i start doing to research and read that the NS tethering isn't supported by window xp?? just win7, win vista and linux???
is this true???
what have you guys been experiencing?

arg. just did that.
didn't help. oi!!!
still getting the "the hardware was not installed because the wizard cannot find the necessary software" pop up.
i'm giving up on this.
the tether function is "on" on the phone, but my comp doesn't recognize the connection in the network settings.
sucks as i'm trying this on a fresh XP os installed notebook. so i don't know what could be causing this... (yess all updates have been updated)...
slowz, you're able to tether with your NS to xp?

no problemo

This definitely isn't working with Windows XP.
This worked fine with my Nexus One. I had to install tetherxp.inf for it to work.
With the Nexus S, I removed all devices, uninstalled the drivers and started from scratch. No go with either the tetherxp.inf file or the RAR file posted earlier in this thread.
I can't find any other documentation on the Net that shows that Nexus S can tether with Windows XP.
Has anyone gotten this to work?

try this...
go to the PDAnet website http://www.junefabrics.com/android/index.php download their software onto your computer(free), then follow the directions on the screen. it will install the latest drivers onto your computer. i had to do that with my work computer too.

Well, I did that and now I just have a copy of PDSNet on my machine
I still can't get XP to recognize my Nexus S. When I plug it in I still get the New Hardware box that asks to find software for USB Device.

What I did was to add entries to tetherxp.inf for Nexus S which matched the signatures in device manager after I connected my phone to xp and turned on usb tether. I then installed the driver from tetherxp.inf.

Thunderbolt and DDMS

Has anyone gotten the Thunderbolt to show up in DDMS? I've tried to update all the drivers, install all packages, etc. Turned on debug on my phone and the device doesn't show up in the list. Any clue what I might be doing wrong?

you neet to install the drivers. the way i did it is when you connect your phone it askes you to install the "HTC Sync" i think, go ahead and download the file and run it, it will install the drivers and will ask you if you want to install htc sync i just canceled the sync instalation and DDMS is running perfectly.

SD card only 6 Megs?
hi,
Just moved on up from a Droid Eris and I can't wait to start rooting and flashing stuff. Having trouble getting started, though.
Anyone have any idea why the 32 Gb card Verizon included is registering as 6 Mb? And how I access the other 31.5 Gbs?
Alternatively, I can burn a new image on the card, but I'm not sure what the files on it are. Any reason to keep them if I'm not using Verizon's HotSync?

You are looking at the partition which contains a link to the HTC Sync software not the actual memory card.
On my corporate laptop the drive letter that the phone tried to use was in use so I had to reassign it to see the phone and then everything showed up perfectly.
Check Disk Management under admin tools and see if the computer sees the drive at all.

Found the Samsung Infuse 4G Drivers

For those of you who have had trouble with getting the drivers for the Infuse, download this:
[Im new so cant post a link, but goto softpedia.com and search kies. The only kies program available will appear, and download and install that]
It wont recognize your phone, but after you install the program, the appropriate drivers will be present, and the root with SuperOneClick will work immediately.
*remember, the program wont recognize your phone if its plugged in, but that doesn't matter. It will just install the appropriate Samsung_Android drivers your PC needs to recognize the phone in SuperOneClick.
Hope this helps!

Phone doesn't exist on my PC.
Nope. Bought the infuse on day one. Installed Kies 2.0.0.11044_11_3. Phone not recognized, installed drivers, learned the truth about Kies. Phone would not be recognized but at least installing Kies made the phone visible to the PC, so I knew I could root if I so desired, read up about rooting and thought I was ready. The phone had other plans.
Decided the other day that I was ready to root. Plugged in the phone but it no longer showed up in Windows. Something about the phones compatibility with my system changed. Tried to install this Kies 2.2.1.11053_99_3 yesterday, reinstalled drivers, activated USB debugging, plugged the phone in started up SuperOneClick and . . . still nothing happened. So I deactivated USB debugging and started over. Followed all the directions in the root posts and and SuperOneClick threads . . .
But somehow between day one and today my Windows 7 64 bit system does not know that the phone is plugged into it.
When I plug the phone into USB the phone asks me how I want to interact with the computer, Kies (Firmware Update); Media player: Mass storage. But the computer shows nothing. Device Manager doesn't list the phone, Windows Explorer doesn't show the phone, Devices and Printers window shows everything that's connected but NOT the phone, it's as if I plugged nothing into the computer. The phone is charging so I know that it's plugged in, but it doesn't seem to be communicating with the PC. I've re-booted, re-installed, reviewed, rewired and re-alized that I have no clue what happened. (Tried different cables, different USB ports different times of the day)
It worked once upon a time, I tried rolling back restore points and disabling my kaspersky 2011, I've followed all rooting instructions in these threads to no avail.
I am now ready to hurl my phone out into traffic to see if that will help, but before I do I'm hoping someone here may have the answer I need.
. . . please . . .

Try removing all instances of the Infuse coming in contact with your system using USBDeView. Also, how does it look in Disk Management? (Start button > search for "Computer Management" > Storage > Disk Management) Does the Infuse show up there as removable storage?

For me, one of the SuperOneClick packages included Windows drivers.
Which is great since SOC is the only reason I needed Windows drivers. (SOC never works in Linux for me for whatever reason...)

Well yeah - I've never had to install any drivers for ADB or anything else.
However, for whatever reason, superoneclick and Linux don't get along for me. So the only time I ever have to install drivers is when SOC rooting from Windows.

Tried it, didn't work, oh wait, didn't run USBDeView as administrator, re-tried and uninstalled all instances of Samsung i-997, then tried to plug the phone back in and still nothing.
Also not in Computer Management or Device manager either. Is there a way to uninstall any drivers that I have and then re-install them?

I've tried just about everything too, and nothing works to get my 64 bit Windows 7 PC to recognize the Infuse. Finally resorted to AndroidSync for file transfers, which worked fine, but it just makes me angry that I can't make the darn thing connect via USB.

http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/SGH-I997ZKAATT
And select SOFTWARE

Tried that last week. Didn't work for me. The PC does see the device, but never finds any files on it.

Drivers in that link
I was having the same issue mentioned yesterday after loading the Samsung Infuse drivers, where my PC still couldn't see the data on my phone. (I'm also running 64-bit Windows 7 OS.)
Once I loaded the drivers and plugged in my phone, I got the happy little "device drivers installed properly" message and thought I was good to go. Nope. No drives mounted and visible in Explorer.
Under Devices and Printers, I could see SAMSUNG_Android with the unhappy yellow exclamation point. The troubleshooting report just says "Problems with PnP devices."
So I dug into into Device Manager. Under Portable Devices, there were 2 new WPD FileSystem Volume Drivers. Both had the same yellow exclamation points and showed a Device Status of "This device cannot start. (Code 10)."
It turns out Windows 7 wasn't assigning drive letters to the new Android volumes. It creates two disk drives (one with pictures, videos, and ringtones and the other with music, external SD, and media). If you right-click on the drives and choose "Change Drive Letter and Paths," click Add, and assign it an unused drive mapping, it will then appear in Explorer.
Incidentally, the SAMSUNG_Android still shows up with its unhappy yellow exclamation point in Devices and Printers. So I imagine there's supposed to be a more user-friendly way that doesn't expose the true internal file structure when it's all working properly. But in the meantime, I can at least access my phone data via USB.

Are you sure your not trying to root GB with superoneclick? Superonclick only works with Froyo.

[Q] Why can I no longer mount usb

I have erased the contents of the phones internal USB storage. Now I notice that I cant mount to my PC.
Anybody know what happening or had same problem

Have you already tried formatting with CWM?
Perhaps this thread contains some useful information for you.

Typed it in and got nothing. Using the android dialler when I pressed the last * the dialer cleared and did nothing.
Just installed the SDK so I could use (hopefully) ADB. When trying to install the Google driver rev4 windows says that rev 4 is no better than the one currently installed.
Also when I connect to the PC it says that the USB device is not recognised either.
I reckon my next thing to try flashing a new Rom via ROM manager.

well that didnt work in fact it has got considerably worse. I used ROM manager to download and install a new rom but didnt install the Gapps how daft do I feel now cos all I got is version of Blandroid running with no Android Market access to download ROM Manager.
I can access my WiFi network so I thought I would simply visit XDA via the mobile browser and download a fresh version of CM7 and then re-flash via ClockworkMod . However all I get is download fail error. I guess it doesn't know where to save the file.
So to recapp I have the following
a Nexus S (running Blandroid ROM)
a Win XP laptop that does not recognise my Nexus S (therefore cant install the Google driver to use ADB)
The Nexus S recovery is ClockworkMod and accessible.
I cannot accept that it is bricked (not just yet anyway)
I have another Laptop with Ubuntu installed. Will this help me in anyway to find a fix. I am not that experienced in Linux unfortunately.

1
i have the same problem. only thing you can try is.
pull out battery. let something metal touch the usb conecter .conecting the metal to a unload source(for static electricity.)
wait couple of hours,and try again.
if that didnt work.
2
open your nexus.
unplug all cables and screws from the main board.
again touch the usb conecter with something metal that has a ground source.
and try again.
the last step worked for me the 1st time pluging it in after i did that.
after that. usb didnt work again.
it probably has to do something with the usb phone charger and static electricity.
but i havent tested it.

will give that a try when I have a bit more time.
In the meantime I have been setting up ADB on my other laptop running Ubuntu 11.04. But unfortunately the Nexus S didnt register on the OS either. I thought you didnt need additional drivers for Linux only windows! I am really puzzled now as I thought the Linux option would have allowed me to flash a different ROM other than Blandroid (which isnt bad its just I dont have the Gapps installed)

you still have wifi/3G and CWM or bloothoot?
download the Gapps zip. put it on dropbox or any hosting site.download it trough your mobile browser and flash it trug CWM.
or use blutethoot to download it.
might be a short fix.until you get USB to work.
(this is how i do it cuz my usb doesnt work.)

I did try that but for some reason after stating that the download had started - Download Unsuccessful was displayed in the notification area. As useual I open a door only to find a brick wall on the other side.
In the meantime I am back with my HTC Hero.
Thanks for helping anyway!

boy, i hope you haven't started tearing your phone apart yet...
since you still have access to cwm: try to format your sdcard with it. looks like you haven't done that yet.

I would try to uninstall all drivers and associated programs on your PC. Then reinstall the drivers. Windows can be very finicky as you know. Also try PDANET drivers.

Same PC with dual boot? Yeah, try another cord and a another PC. The fact that you plugged it in and it's recognized in some way in the tray says something is fubar. I just don't know if it is the phone though. Best of luck.

Nah, different laptop and different cable. Hope that it charges OK. Gonna have to get a WiFi file transfer app working to move files to and from.

glad to help out :3
there are allot of people that have this USB isue and its HW NS related. nothing we actually can do about it.plus it also happens after changing kernels and roms(i supose) overclocking might be 1 of the reasons thus the voltages not being original.
btw,sorry for my half assed english x3

Having the same issue. I tried that, no such luck.
My computer *did* connect at one point though... couldn't mount USB storage (wasn't prompted) but it did ask for a driver, and currently has a Samsug USB one installed. It won't accept the SDK driver (not 64-bit capable? Or NS4G? Idk...)

Please help me! Can't connect my Nexus 5 to USB

I just got my Nexus 5 today, and I am trying to put things on the internal memory of the phone. However everytime I plug it in to install the drivers automatically, it says an error occurred during installation, and kicks me back out, and refuses to work. I use Windows XP still, 32 bit, and it asks me to search the web etc for hardware, and it never finds anything.
Does anyone know how to connect this thing? :'( I tried on my Windows 7 laptop too and same problem, except this time it worked as an SD card, but in the bootloader to root the phone it fails to install?

I have a Windows XP PC too and have MTP working. Try doing the following to get it working - Update windows media player to 10 or higher, install the mtppk12 = MTP porting kit and install the Microsoft user mode drivers for MTP. These should get you going.

That's way too much work. Just search for drivers in the N5 threads. I had the same problem, there's a universal driver like the person above said.
