Is it possible?
It doesn't work by default when connected to an android device with USB tethering enabled.
My guess is that there needs to be software in place to bring up the USB network?
Oops. Mod please move to general.
I'm pretty sure the latest tiamat kernel supports this
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
I have been trying to set up/enable USB tethering from my rooted Droid Incredible (running CM7) to my rooted Xoom (HC 3.1, kernel 1.4.2, wireless only).
When I type : "Cd /dev/block" then "ls" on my Xoom terminal I can see "sda" for phone and "sda1" for my USB flash drive. And my phone recognizes the USB connection to my Xoom.
But when I type "busybox mount /dev/block/sda1/mnt/usbotg" on Xoom, the response is > "mount: can't read '/etc/fstab' : No such file or directory"
And while I can enable USB tethering on my phone, my Xoom doesn't recognize it (of course). My phone is also charging from the Xoom.

Same problem. Using the tiamat kernel, have USB tether enabled on the phone, but the xoom doesn't recognize it. Is there something I need to do in user space to enable the tether on the xoom?

worked for me..do you have VMWARE or anything installed? if so make sure you open it up and disable the USB ports..

Did you ever get this working? I have tried with USB debugging off and on, tried all the options under the default connection type. What else can I do to get this to connect to my Mac? I don't see anything that is labeled "MASS USB STORAGE".
This incorporates the ideas of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2144709, so if you want to see how this was resolved for the Nexus 4, check out that thread.
Okay. So you've flashed a spanking new 4.2.2 ROM and ADB no longer talks to your Sensation. What happened?
Well, the fact is that 4.2.2 is significantly more secure, in the good sense. It enforces RSA authentication via ADB. However, RSA authentication is supported only in recent versions of ADB.
What to do?
First, make sure you have the latest version of ADB on your PC.
On Windows you can quickly find out if you your version of ADB is up to date. Check your ".android" folder and see if it holds a file called "adbkey".
On any platform type "adb version" to verify that you have the latest version of ADB. Versions 1.0.31+ support RSA authentication.
-- So now, if you have ADB 1.0.31 or higher. You can skip directly to step 2, then.
-- If you do not have ADB 1.0.31 or higher, and you have the full Android SDK installed, open the SDK manager and update it. If you only have ADB and fastboot installed in a folder on your PC, overwrite files in the folder with those in the corresponding zip file attached (windows or linux -- sorry! I don't have Mac versions at this time). These come from version 16.01 of the android platform-tools package, if you are curious.
-- if you have never installed the SDK or ADB or fastboot, now is the time to do that. I recommend going to http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html to get started.
[*]Enable USB debugging on your phone
USB debugging is now enabled by selecting Android Debugging in System Settings > Developer Options.
"I don't have the Developer Options items in System Settings!!"
In Android 4.2.x, you need to go to System Settings > About Phone and tap the Build Number item about 6 or 8 times, and Developer Options will reappear.
[*]Plug in the USB cable. Securely.
Dismiss the USB mass storage window.
"I connected the cable, but nothing happened!!"
Okay, chill. You won't get a response until ADB tries to connect to your Sensation. So go ahead and start ADB on your PC. Suggested command:
Code:
adb devices
"Now ADB started, but nothing's happening on my computer!!!"
Uh, didn't I just advise you to chill ? Take a look at your phone...
"What's this pop-up that just popped up??"
(See image below)
Congratulations, that is Android asking your permission to store an RSA key on your Sensation for ADB interaction with your PC.
Fearlessly accept it.
Hint: check the "Always allow from this computer" box to save time later on.
The RSA authentication key you just accepted will be stored on your phone in the file /data/misc/adb/adb_keys.
You are now good to go. Just 3 easy steps with a minimum of panic.
Questions? Problems? Ask away!

Hi,
Nice! :good:
People should also not use USB 3.0 slots or USB hubs.
Try several slots if the front ones do not work.
Windows 7 & 8 drivers are HERE in case anyone needs them...

Hi,
I have read a lot of instances of "Device not recognized" when using 3.0 slots.
I am not saying it will never work.
But ,if you use one,and it does not work,then,try it on a 2.0 slot.
Thanks for the post
few problems:
- I tried updating ADB with SDK manager. It kept saying something was accesing the installation folder. even after I closed explorer, virusscanner etc. I replaced the files with the zip attachement, but still a weird issue.
- another thing. Before I updated adb reported error: device offline. After update the issue persists. not using any hubs or USB 3.0. I think it's because I'm not using the stock cable that came with the phone.

Hi,
I think there is one solution that will address both issues. Before I mention it, let me ask: are you sure you enabled USB debugging on your Sensation? This is confirmed if, when you plug in the cable to your PC, you immediately get a USB debugging icon in the Notification Bar.
Glad we got that out of the way!
Unplug your device from the PC.
Anyhow, since you already have the SDK installed, the recommended way to update is to use the SDK Manager.
--in Windows, I think this is an executable in the tools sub-folder of your main android SDK folder. Double clock on it.
--in Linux, start up a terminal and type
Code:
android
if that doesn't do it, CD to the /tools directory in android-sdk-linux, or wherever you put the SDK, first. Then type "android".
The window that opens when you start SDK Manager should show that you need an update to (at least) platform-tools. Go ahead and do the update. You will have to accept some license(s) - accept it or them.
Once the install is complete, close SDK Manager.
Now plug your USB cable back in, and try out the "adb devices" command. It should work.
Suppose you still get "device not found", though. Try the following: again unplug.
Type the command:
Code:
adb kill-server
Now plug the phone back in, verify that you have USB debugging, and try "adb devices".
If no go, let me know what platform you are running, etc. I've heard it could be the cable, but I think that you just need to make sure it is plugged in securely.
BTW, the reason you probably won't have to do the adb kill-server step is that the SDK Manager kills running adb processes during the install.
Let me know how it goes!
Yrs,
dkephart

tnx. I was somewhat ehead of the steps you mentioned. problem was that SDK manager can't install anything cause it can't seem to kill any other adb proces. But I used a workaround for that so no problem there.
ADB does find my device, only it is stated as offline. I will have to try it again with the stock cable that came with the phone. Then I'll know if this is a software issue. Currently I'm using a complete random micro-USB cable wich I found on work laying around.
I'll let you know if stock cable is any difference. If so, it might be usefull info for ppl to know to always use stock cable while using ADB/Fastboot

Yeah... my random selection doesn't have this problem. But I once seemed to have it with the official cable. You might want to try rebooting both the phone and the PC.

The stock cable did the trick. everything works fine with the stock cable.
So if ppl find any trouble using ADB with a cable other then stock, this might cause the problem.

Some really cheap cables only have 2 wires in them and can only be used for charging. You need the other wires for data transfer.
But some companies only put the charging wires in to save money on the copper.
It must be a REALLY low quality cable though. I mean I get all my cables on Monoprice for like $1-$2 and they all work great for data.
Or, the cable does have all the internal wires and one is just broken inside.

Cool! Then you have adb working. To confirm, in the shell, "ls" should come back with a listing of the files on your device. If you do "cd sdcard" and "ls" you get the files on the SD card.
You're good to go.

There is still a possibility adb did not update, or that you have more than one copy of adb on your system. Here's another way. cd to the android-sdk- windows folder (you are running windows, right?) and type
Code:
android update sdk --no-ui
...now the SDK manager will run. It takes a while. When done, reboot your PC and plug in your Sensation. Go to the platform-tools subfolder of your SDK folder and run adb from there. You could type "./adb" to make sure. Check your device - the homescreen has to be unlocked - and you should see the pop-up.
I don't really know about Android Commander, so there is always a possibility that that app doesn't handler things right, but I think this will work.
Let me know how it goes...

when I cd to the sdk folder ( C:\Users\Documents\adt-bundle-windows-x86-20130219), it gives me command not recognized. I can run sdk manager from the folder and everything is up to date.
I run adb from platform-tools and it gives me the same thing as before.
one thing though, I don't see the "adbkey" file in platform-tools but it is there in ".android" folder. so I run it from the later folder too but the still the same thing, no pop-up.
it's not just android commander, a lot of other apps give the same thing.
I didn't know there was a workaround app to enable UMS. How come its not posted in here?

I did sort of the same. I disabled MTP and didn't enable MTP and that worked. You might need to do a fresh install of the drivers.
You won't get the pop-up by just plugging it in and toggling USB Debug, etc. You need to open up a program that uses ADB (Like WugFresh) or a command prompt in the adb/fastboot folder and typing -> adb devices (or fastboot devices if in fastboot mode). I just revoked computer permissions and tried ticking and unticking everything, and I couldn't get the auth pop-up. As soon as I started WugFresh, the pop-up appeared on the phone to authorize.
Still no popup
