HOW TO USE PC INTERNET CONNECTION ON YOUR ANDROID PHONE

 HOW TO USE PC INTERNET CONNECTION ON YOUR ANDROID PHONE 

 
If you’re planning to go out on a
vacation
to a place where a Wi-Fi connection
seems
impossible, tethering will be your key to
keep your other devices hooked up to
the
online world.

Tethering is the ability to
share your mobile phone’s cellular data
connection with other devices. This neat
feature, however useful, requires
additional
data connection and relatively increases
your phone’s monthly bill.
If your mobile phone can’t share its
Internet connectivity, why not reverse
the
process instead?

Developers from XDA
Developers have come up with a
solution to
share the broadband connection of your
PC to your mobile phone. Although it’s
currently running as beta with a few
bugs,
the software can be used to browse the
Internet on your mobile phone.

This guide will only work if you have
rooted your device and with a
Windows PC. We will not be liable for
any
damages arising from your use of this
guide. Use the presented information at
your own risk.
Remember that the tool is still beta
software, so expect a lot of kinks and
bugs.

You can surf using Google Chrome,
Firefox,
Opera, or Dolphin Browser, although
Google Chrome complains of not having
an
Internet connection even though it
works.
Ping and low-level ICMP packets don’t
seem to work either. Searching on the
Android Market works, but at the
moment,
it is not yet possible to download and
install apps from the Android Market.
Requirements
A rooted Android phone
Desktop or laptop computer running
Windows
Working broadband Internet connection
on
the desktop or laptop
Android Software Development Kit
(SDK)
installed on the desktop or laptop
(optional
but recommended)

Instructions

1. Download the reverse tethering tools
from
here 
http://www.mediafire.com/?1orhlo28iykz75b
and save the file to your computer.
The ZIP file contains AndroidTool.exe
(Android USB Tunnel tool for your
Windows machine), ADB, and the
Android
APK (Beta Android USB Tunnel tool for
your Android phone).

2. Extract the ZIP file to a folder on your
computer.

3. Enable USB debugging on your phone
by
going to Settings > Applications >
Development > USB Debugging.

4. Go to the folder where you extracted
the
ZIP file’s contents.

5. Run AndroidTool.exe.

6. Connect your phone to your PC using
a USB cable.

7. In the Android USB Tunnel window,
click on
the Refresh Devices button.

8. From the list on the right of the
detected
devices, select a Domain Name Server
(DNS) to use.

9. Click the Show Android Interface
button.
This will install the app and other
needed
binaries to your phone.

10. If the Superuser app on your phone
asks
whether to allow “USB Tunnel,” choose
to
allow the app. If the process crashes
after
receiving Superuser rights, close the
Android USB Tunnel Windows
application
and repeat the procedure from the
start.

11. Click on the Connect button on the
Android
USB Tunnel window on your computer.

12. Again, if the Superuser app on your
phone
asks, choose to allow “USB Tunnel.”
Congratulations! You have successfully
reverse-tethered your Android phone to
your PC.
