Hi, I think everyone of us can't use the windows update feature in our omnia 2 (winmo 605)
Then, how can I update my windows build? i'm running build 21863, which have irritating menu to manage..please, i really want to update my winmo 6.5 build. Please share, thanks!
I just went into the update page on my Omnia2 and did a manual update. It took about 4 mins and I did not have it connected to my PC. Update successful.
why i can't? failed to connect.
can someone please help me?
same problem here.
it always tells me to check the connection and make sure time and date are set correctly.
for system time i use GMT+1
connection is fine. i tried provider network as well as WiFi.
Does anybody have a solution how I can check for updates?
[Solution] Update Samsung Omnia II
Method 1: By Yourself
1) Download New PC Studio from Samsung's website:
Link: downloadcenter[dot]samsung[dot]com/content/SW/201002/20100210183453156/New_PC_Studio_1.4.0.IL2.exe
*NOTE: REPLACE the [dot] with .
2) Install and launch NPS
*NOTE: YOU MUST BE RUNNING XP/VISTA TO USE. WINDOWS 7 IS NOT SUPPORTED
3) Connect your device via USB, make sure ActiveSync is already installed, ensure that NPS detects your phone.
*NOTE: IF YOU HAVE LOST/MISPLACED YOUR USB CABLE, A STANDARD MICRO USB CABLE SHOULD DO.
At the bottom right hand corner, there is a 'Upgrade' Button. Click on it. It will launch a window in NPS. Select your phone and click Check For Updates. If there are upgrades available, it should prompt you whether you want to install the upgrade. From here, follow the instructions onscreen.
If your phone errors during installation, it will boot into recovery. Reconnect the phone to the computer. It will not be recognized by NPS yet. Once again click the 'Update' Button and instead of Checking for Updates, click Recovery.
Method 2: At a Service Center
If your phone is still under warranty, you can bring the phone to a service center for upgrade. It should take ~30min for them to do that, depending on the number of customers they are serving. This way if anything goes wrong it isn't your fault.
I think Samsung disable the update function in their phones as they wanted people to flash only Samsung-Approved ROMs from their application
Besides, i was also facing this problem, so GOOD LUCK!
HOPE THIS WORKS FOR YOU
I just tried to update on my i8000 - worked fine, but:
a) it lasted a few minutes
b) no updates available now.
Android Reverse Tethering for windows users.
Tethering is the ability to surf on your pc using the 3g of your phone
Reverse tethering is the opposite : surf on your phone using the ADSL of your PC. No Wifi or 3G connection required.
==>Troubleshooting (FAQ) <==
Since a lot of users don't read the full article before asking for help, I will start by this section !
Not yet compatible with Android 5. Work on progress. Don't ask me when it will be available
Android 4.3 and upper : You must install the Connectivity hack (see Connectivity hack section) before connect .
Android 4.3 and upper : You must connect your phone/tablet to a working wifi or 3g once after each boot before using reverse tethering !!!
This work only for rooted users and with Windows. Don't ask for linux or for some fruit operating systems !!!
The tool is not compatible with "CrossBreeder" , "adaway" or other tools that change the host file (removing localhost)
Tethering and reverse tethering (this tool) are not compatible at the same time, it's then not possible to turn your android phone as a wifi hotspot.
If your device is not listed in the "select a device" dropdow list:
Ensure Usb debugging is enabled. See "Before starting the tool" section
The ADB subsystem is sometimes not working properly. Click the "Kill ADB" button (on Tools)
Your device is perhaps not installed properly. See your device manufacturer. You can download a generic driver from google here : http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html.
Windows can detect your device as a "Media Transfer Protocol" (MTP) or "Picture Transfer Protocol" (PTP). When you connect the usb cable, you can receive an "Usb" notification. Click the notification to change this parameter. If one don't work, take the another one...
Click refresh or restart the tool to detect your device.
If the connection shutdown often, try another usb cable
Proxies problems :
Corporte proxy. The windows application is not able to traverse proxies.
The good news is that you can use some applications like FreeCap , sockscap and proxifier.
You must start the androidTool from one of these launchers, giving proxy adress and port.
Thanks "edgd1er" for the information.
Android 3G proxy. Even if 3g is desactivated, your provider (APN) proxy may still be used by applications.
The windows tool is not able to communicate with your provider proxy.
Note that only a few providers include a proxy. You must remove it manually.
The tool will give you informations on how to do it when detected.
Installation :
Unpack the zip file. This zip files contains the windows part, ADB and the android APK.
Before starting the tool :
You must install drivers for your device.
If you don't find drivers for your phone/tablet, check the Universal Naked Driver
Other interesting tool to install Adb and drivers (32/64) : [TOOL] ADB, Fastboot and Drivers - 15 seconds ADB Installer .
Some screenshots are availables in this thread to install the driver.
Ensure you have debugging enabled on your phone :
Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging > Turn On
Ensure you have root access AND SuperUser application installed.
Change the superuser settings (Menu -> Preferences -> Notifications part) :
Uncheck "Notifications" label to display "Do not show notification when an app is granted Su Permissions"

AndroidTool
The AndroidTool.exe is the windows part
The low level communication tool (ADB) is included in the zip file.
AndroidTool will try to find ADB in c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\adb.exe
If not found he will use the provided one.
The first time you use the program :
If you want to use another version of ADB, clik "config" and in the first tab enter the path to the ADB
Select the DNS server to use in the right list. On complex system, some dns can be detected.
Start reverse tethering
Just click “Connect”.
If it's the first time you use the program, This will install the latest android package and the dependencies (busybox and redsocks).
The SuperUser process may ask you to allow “Usb tunnel”
If the android process crash after receiving superuser rights, close the windows program and start again.
The android interface (first tab) will show connections forwarded to windows.
Others tabs are just for debugging. Send the log on this thread in case of problem.
Start your browser
Google chrome will complain that no connection is available. Don’t care. That work.
Firefox , opera and dolphin don’t have problem with that !!!
The current version of the application can’t forward low level ICMP packet (PING).
From Android Os point of vue, there is no internet connection.
Command line prompt :
The windows tool is a "One click" application. Just click the "Connect" button.
But you can add parameters to directly connect when the program start.
Here are the supported commands : Device:xxxx (where xxxx is the device id), Connect, Disconnect, KillAdb, LogToClipboard, Show, Hide, Quit
Parameter sample : Device:123465789 Connect Hide
Create a second shortcut with Disconnect Quit parameters to stop connection and close the application.
Connectivity hack :
This will install some low level program to install a "fake" Wifi for browsers and google play market.
Don't worry, I didn't brick my phone and tablet during the development.
The Xposed framework author and me are not responsible for anything you do with your phone/tablet/rice cooker.
This work for android 4.X, but an experimental version of the Xposed framework for Gingerbread made by liudongmiao can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44034334#post44034334 (no support from my side)
On the windows program, go to tools tab and click "install hack"
Launch the Xposed Installer (you just installed) on your android and click on "Install/Update"
Go to the module tab and check the HackConnectivityService (see screenshot below)
Reboot the phone
Done!
This work for market but also for some other programs (some games,skype,hangouts...)
For older android 2.x or 3.x version :
The application want to have an active 3G or Wifi network interface.
Some market applications are tagged "Wifi" only.
To get around this problem, you can activate the 3G BEFORE starting reverse tethering,all the data will goes to the usb.
Tips : You can connect to some wifi hotspot not protected by a key.
It's only when you want to surf that the hotspot ask you a user/password.
But, at this point, we have an 'active' connection. Market download should work after starting reverse tethering.
Not fully working application but work if you install the HackConnectivityService on android 4.x:
Market download
Spotify
Skype. (not checked yet)
If someone know another one, post a reply !
History :
Version 3.19
Added some rights for sdcard access.
New windows icons.
Version 3.18
Fixed Xposed HackConnectivityService module. You must click "install hack" to update it
Small bug fix.
Version 3.17
Updated Xposed framework installer 2.4.1
Small bug fix.
For Linux ,Mac OS X , I recommand this guide (from @phamthanhnam ) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2287494 .
This required entering a lot of manual commands on both android and the PC each time you want to connect (reserved to power "geek" users).
This work also for windows, but much more complicated, compared to this "One click" connect tool. I let user chose the solution he want...
I will not respond to email or private message. If you want support, post a reply on this forum.

I was looking to get some internet access on alpha build of ics for galaxy tab... Hope this works..will try and let you know..thanks for the good work...
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
Great work. Tested this and it works pretty well (on HTC Aria CM7).
do you mean we need to connect the tablet to the PC using the USB cable then we can use reverse thethering thingy ?
Wouldn't the PC app like Connectify Me do this thing without all this?
☞★sent from drajax's Galaxy SL!!! *♂ツ
Wow thanks a million!, i hope we can download apps as well but i'll settle for apks for now, <3

it would, but this program uses a USB cable, connectify uses WiFi, so for us who don't have wifi routers or connectify we can use this
Galaxy S II (GT-I9100) on CyanogenMod 7.1, using SiyahKernel 2.2b6, doesn't work. Using Windows 7 x86, with correct drivers installed. Can't get past the step of clicking 'Show Android Interface'. Clicks, but nothing happens. No devices are listed within the program.

If the device is not listed, it's not a problem related with reverse tethering. It's a driver or installation problem !

Yes, you just need to install the windows program then click connect.
It's a beta, market is not able to download.

The device is listed. And I've got all appropriate drivers for my device installed?
Inspire 4G CM7, works
As a side note, I had ADB running when I started it & it didnt work. Killed all ADB sessions & relaunched, after that it worked like a charm.

Did you enabled USB Debugging ?
Run a dos command prompt then enter this command :
Code:
cd\instfolder
adb devices
instfolder is the folder where you unzipped ReverseTethering.zip
Ensure you have adb.exe in that folder
You should see :
Code:
List of devices attached
xxxxxxxxxxx device
If not, try to re-install driver or test on another PC.

Better is to configure the application to use the already installed ADB program on your computer :
button config -> ADB sheet -> update path -> button save
Then restart the tool.
Working on Nexus S with MIUI. Opera browser and Market both work.
I was hoping to use it to avoid using my data while playing games or when installing games with huge downloads after installing, but that doesn't seem to be the case yet. I see I can add ports for forwarding, but how can I tell what port a game uses?
This was something i was waiting but i could not use the internet from pc.
I have SGS1, 2.3.6. I dont get any error messages. Clicking connect makes it connect but status column always not connected.
Im on company network. Which IP i will use? Which port i will use?

Hi Guys,
I need some help with my Xperia10. I cannot install any apk's. I have downloaded an apk installer & when it runs it tells me my phone isn't connected to my PC although it is.
I can connect to my phone with the desktop software easily and have a look at the sd card contents, but if I exit that software & make sure it's not running in the background, I still cannot get any installer to "see my" phone.
I have followed instructions on how to connect properly which I got from this forum but no joy whatsover.
I also have a similar problem with a tablet, which is running Android 2.3 ( sorry to admins to mention it here but I can't find my tablet in any of your links) the PC doesn't see that either.
I have downloaded & installed various usb drivers in case that's the problem, but again nothing.
My PC is running Win7 build 7601, 4gb memory, intel 2.8 dual core.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards
Hi,
I'm not sure i understand well your pb but in case :
To install non-market apk, you have to go in SETTINGS/APPLICATIONS and tick "Unknown sources"...
Also, take a tour in SETTING/APPLICATIONS/DEVELOPPEMENT and tick "USB debog"
Now, you are able to install apk from other sources than market...
When you connect your phone to your computer, you must have a look to your phone... slide the notification bar and press on "connect the sd card"...
I hope it helps...
In my last post I had a problem related to reverse tethering in devices having android lower than 4.0.4 or having gingerbrand. I have gone through many websites and found a solution for it. The whole credit goes to http://blog.thambaru.com/idea/share-your-pcs-internet-connection-with-android-via-usb/. But when I followed these I faced some problems but finally done . I am having micromax A25 smarty. Now,
NOTE:- YOUR DEVICE MUST BE ROOTED AND HAVE SUPERUSER INSTALLED ON IT
1. the first is you have to download Reverse tethering kit(see attachment) and extract it
2. Install the application named tracetool.apk on you android powered phone
3. now run the androidtool.exe (in reverse tethering folder)
4. connect your device with your computer/laptop via USB cable
5. turn on USB Debugging from developers options in settings (DO NOT ENABLE STORAGE..ONLY USB debugging HAS TO BE TURNED ON)
6. now in androidtool you opened just click "CONNECT" and just wait for superuser dialogue box and allow the USB tunnel(name of tracetool application which u have installed)
7. now wait till it connects your phone. if your phone is not connected at first trial than no problem. Try it for another time or switch off notifications for superuser and then try again
NOW THIS IS THE MAIN STEP FOR ANDROID LESS THAN 4.0.4,
8. Take another phone which is able to make a portable wi-fi hotspot, Turn the hot spot on WITHOUT TURNING ON DATA CONNECTION IN ANY OF THE PHONE
9. connect your phone with this phone via wi-fi and then you are done
10. you will see Google Play(5228) in connections tab in androidtool if you will run and download applications from it
THIS IS FOR ANDROID 4.0.4 AND ABOVE
1.install xposed installer and the goto framework and then press install/update
reboot your phone
2. install hack connectivity service.apk module on your android and enable it from modules tab on you xposed.
3. reboot form your phone
IN THIS METHOD FOR 4.0.4 YOU DO NOT NEED ANY OTHER PHONE
xposed installer also comes for gingerbread but it doesn't worked n my phone due to processor architecture..but you can try on yo gingerbread (see attatchment XPOSEDGBINSTALLER)
NOW YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO ACCESS INTERNET ON ANY OF THE APPLICATIONS USING IT AND YOU CAN ALSO UPDATE APPLICATIONS VIA GOOGLE PLAY
Many many thanks,got it working just in three minutes........Although I can browse internet and google play too,the download from google play never starts.It is stuck on "waiting for network". I would appreciate if you can work it out

Same issue here, couldn't find a fix
I got mine to work
I had the same problem. I called Samsung and their 2nd tier eventually solved it. I have smart switch installed on a Windows 7 Professional PC.
Try :
Remove USB Cable
Control Panel > System > Device Manager > Universal Serial Bus Controler
Right click on SAMSUNG Mobile USB Composite Device
Uninstall SAMSUNG Mobile USB Composite Device
Close Device Manager/ Control Panel
Open Smart Switch
Click MORE in the top right
Click Reinstall Device Driver
Allow that to process and do next step whilst Driver installs
On S8
Open phone Dial Pad
enter the following USSD code
*#0808#
in USB settings select
MTP+ADB
Click Reboot
When rebooted, reconnect USB Cable to PC and see if it now connects OK
it did not work
