After long time, I think after 3 or 4 months 刻I gonna write again a technical post. This is how to connect you android to the internet through you PCâs internet connection. I was looking for this and used with few problems after being an owner of android. But today I was resolved all of them and feeding my droid without wasting money for 2G/3G. đ
Thereâre lots of resources on the internet about this âReverse Tetheringâ and thereâre some fake and paid APKs which donât helps. Especially, to the Sri Lankans! đ I have used all of these to endup the âInternet Thirstyâ of my loving droid. But, every time Iâve to waste time and pay for Data or go under my schoolâs WiFi with some afraid. đ
So thatâs why I decided to write about this case perspicaciously.
For this, you would have to use a program for the PC which shares internet and pushing it to the android device through ADB. Thisâll automatically installs an APK to your android device which teaches the droid to Reverse Tether. Your android device MUST BE ROOTED and your PC should have suitable drivers for your device.
Hope you know what is Tethering; but I think I must describe it to the new ones. Internet Tethering is used to share your android deviceâs Data connection to the PC. This is officially supported by android ROMs. Meanwhile, your phone becomes a internet dongle. But here, đĄ  weâre going to do its vice versa.
Letâs do the Reverse Tether:
First, you should download and extract the archive of âAndroidToolâ software from the following link.
Click here to Download Reverse Tethering Software for your PC
[Link Updated 17/09/2020 to the new version. (3.19) Explanations below could be differ.]
While downloading, you can prepare your android device as following:
Launch the SuperUser app on your device, open its menu, tap Preferences, and uncheck the Notifications check box under Notifications. Then you wonât bothered by the hundreds of Superuser permission requests đ
Also to let the PC-tool install its APK, turn âUnknown sourcesâ ON. (android: Settings -> Applications)
Enable Debug mode. (android: Settings -> Applications -> Development)
Turn Data connection (WiFi or 2/3/4..G) ON. [You may say WTF?! while hearing this. (LOL! đ Â Iâll tell you later why should you do so.)] Â Â đ
When the download has completed and extracted the archive youâll see a executable named âAndroidTool.exeâ, Just open it and click âConnectâ
You can check âwhatâs going on?â without being an expert đ with switching to âDebugâ tab. Youâll see some blah blahs. The red text stands for errors. So you might have to restart your phone and/or PC-tool or PC till having a good answer. I had to do so with my poor Huawei u8180 and thatâs why I told so. đ Â Donât lost your hopes.
After few seconds youâll see a request for SuperUser permissions on your phone. Just allow it believing me for this âUSB Tunnelâ APK. đ
Time for the âViola!â will depend on your Android deviceâs and PCâs resources.
Now your droid buddy have internet through your PC. How cool is that?
The important part is, if you havenât turned on the data connection in your Android device; some apps (such as Play Store, Google Talk) would say âYou havenât a internet connectionâ. And you wonât be abled to update apps etc. (Gotya?) đ
Now feed anytime abundantly your droid..! Feel free to ask me (just leave a comment) anykind of problem/suggestion around this. đ
