How to USB-Tether Android phones with Windows XP, using tetherxp.inf


Update (23/09/2013):

As Samson has kindly pointed out in the comments, Microsoft has now released a patch for this issue. To download it and for further information, click here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/959765

If you prefer not to use Microsoft's hotfix, please read the comments if you are still experiencing issues because a lot of people have posted helpful tips. Thanks everyone.


Greetings fellow Android users! I just got a Samsung Galaxy S2, and had some trouble tethering via USB using the "tetherxp.inf" file. I kept getting the error message: "Cannot install this hardware". So after a bit of poking around, on the Intarwebz, I devised a workaround, and for those of you experiencing the same problem, here's my solution:

1. Plug in your phone, enable USB tethering on your phone, and cancel any hardware wizards that pop up on your computer.


2. On your computer, open up your device manager (Start->run->devmgmt.msc)
Find your phone in "Other devices", for me it was called "SAMSUNG_Android".


3. Once you've found it, double click it and switch to the details tab.


4a. If you have a Samsung Galaxy S3 or S4 (and possibly S5), please note what Urlaubär mentioned in the comments.



4b. Now this is where some of you will get lost, you need to open up the tetherxp.inf file with your favorite code editor (Start->Run->Wordpad) will work, but Notepad will not. I'll use PSPad. And create a new line below "[AndroidDevices.NT.5.1]" containing your Device Instance Id.




5. Alrighty! Now you are ready to test your handiwork! Save the modified tetherxp.inf somewhere, I'm using "C:\temp\tetherxp.inf" as you can see in step 4, then switch to the "General" tab of the device properties, and click "Reinstall Driver...". Select "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)", and click next.






6. Click "Search for the best driver in these locations.", and select the folder in which you saved your modified "
"tetherxp.inf" file.




7. Now, if all goes smoothly, you should be greeted with this happy screen! You have successfully hacked the inf configuration to enable tethering in your device. You should see a new Local Area Network connection appear in your network connections, and it'll give you Internet access! That is, assuming your phone has Internet access.
If you have a Samsung Galaxy SII, you can download my modified tetherxp.inf file here: http://pastebin.com/zHtCiAzx

    Works well on a samsung galaxy note. Had a couple of false starts with the device ids that come up after you plug in but before you enable tethering :-). The error message was "device will not start" or some such.

    If I unplug the phone the windows networking breaks down and won't restart when I plug back in. Reboot required

  25. Thanks Dear,
    Your article was helpful but I needed to download 'tetherxp.inf' file from www.android.com/drivers/tetherxp.inf

    Also, the post was not clear that in Step 4, you need to add line nos. 48 & 49 & not modify existing lines in the file.

  27. Hey thanks!

    A little tricky bit was that or the Nexus 4 there was an extra set of numbers and characters in the device ID.

    Rathish like this:
    copy paste the first two lines listed under AndroidDevices.NT.5.1
    you will now have two identical lines.
    change the top line from "Nexus one" to "whatever your phone type is"
    change the device id from USB/VID_18D1&PID_4E13 to whatever YOUR device ID is. For Nexus 4 it happens to be USB/VID_18D1&PID_4EE3&MI_00 (a few more characters than most). If you go to the "Hardware ID" option instead of the "Device ID" dropdown option you will have exactly what you need to input.

    Cheers!

  28. This one seems to be the solution, but it will not work with Windows XP Service Pack 2, I followed the instructions and I even downloaded de phone USB drivers for Windows from the official phone page and it did not work. Since I need to upgrade the Windows version, I guess I'm choosing VIsta or Seven. So basically if you have Windows XP SP2 don't waste your time, it will not work.

  61. It almost installed but something popped up. "Continuing your installation of this software may impair or destabilize the correct operation of your system either immediately or in the future. Microsoft strongly recommends that you stop this installation now and contact the hardware vendor for software that has passed Windows Logo Testing."

    Then it has two buttons. "Continue anyway" and " STOP Installation". The stop one is the recommended one to click, with, you know, has the bluish something on the button.

    It made me nervous.

  79. First one needs to bridge 2 internet connections in Windows 7.
    Open Network Connections by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button, and then clicking Control Panel.
    In the search box, type adapter, and then, under Network and Sharing Center, click View Network Connections.
    Hold down the Ctrl key and select each internet network connection that you want to add to the bridge.
    Hold down ALT to reveal Advanced Menu and click Bridge Connections. If you're prompted for an administrator
    password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    You should now have a new network type named "Network Bridge" created.
    Now Bridge the internet connection from your android phone with your alternate connection you usually use as described above.
    Leave this internet bridge on your system.
    Assuming one would use USB tether internet where usual internet connection is unavailable, when you now connect your phone, instead of showing it as a NEW CONNECTION EACH TIME, Windows will directly recognize it from the internet bridge. This will stay so even after you restart your system.

It is not detecting my smartphone device and even after manually installing the device drivers, I'm able to detect the device in file transfer mode after running devmgmt.msc but not able to detect in tethering mode. However, on my friends PC which runs Win 7 OS, it is a breeze as it detects my Smartphone device and automatically installs the drivers whereby you can clearly see the drive in My Computer...Voila ! You are good to go. Please help me to install on my Win XP SP3 OS as I don't want to switch over to Win 7 OS.

  114. Thank you very much.. that was a saver...!!!!
    It worked with a XIAOMI.
    In my case the Device id was different when the USB tethering service was activated. So use the device id appeared on device manager after you activate the tethering service on the smartphone.

  115. Hi,

    Connect the phone to a computer or laptop by using the USB cable.
    Open the Settings app.
    Choose More, and then choose Tethering & Mobile Hotspot.
    Place a check mark by the USB Tethering item.

    Thanks
