Contacts and some gapps could not sync with this tool. Market Search function works, but download and installation from market doesn't work. What is the problem?! How can I fix this?

I am sick of posting this again and again. Go look a few pages before, I have posted a technique to download play store apps with reverse tethering.

I searched before but there were different solution. One of them was changing dns on device using "SetDNS" app. But it doesn't work for me. May I ask to update the first post and put the working solution there.
Thanks

Your method didn't worked and it drained all my credits. :mad:
No contact sync and no downloads from market.

I tried turning on mobile data before connecting to android tools and I tried one after connecting to this tools. Didn't work. Any solution?!

In Reverse Tethering, this apps don't work. Just surf.

I'm using ReverseTethering 2.26. Web surfing works fine in almost all apps (UC Browser, Opera, Phone browser, Games, apps that need internet, ...)
search function also works in Market but installation and download are impossible.
I couldn't connect PPTP VPN in my phone either.

Yes!! 2.25 Works fine. :) Thank you.
I'm using GPRS,

Actually doesn't work FINE but works after many try and error. it failed many times and some time works. :(

2.26 has a better connection procedure.

VPN can't work, because he use iptables.
Reverse tethering also use iptables and redsocks.
So there is conflict.

Next version is coming next week (no more stop on non responding url)

In the First post author said it does no works with market downloads.

Please read before post.

I was thinking one thing: if you turn on your 3g connection and change your apn values to a incorrect apn values, and then you use this app, maybe it will works with market downloads

Had no luck so far with this sadly. Using the latest version with my rooted Samsung Galaxy Ace.

I get multiple instances of ADB starting up each time, both from the same file path (the SDK version - which I specified in the config)

I get the same error each and every time:
W RunProcessCommand TimeOut for : ...adb.exe -s 'mydevice' install "tracetool.apk"
W ADB Problem Unable to communicate with device
W Unable to connect


I'm quite sure it's something retarded on my end and not the program. But still, I've disabled my firewall, run as admin, and checked my drivers are correct, filepaths, SuperUser settings etc. So a bit stumped as to what I'm doing wrong.

Any help appreciated. TIA.

Try the "Kill ADB" adb button first...

    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 !

    1. Not yet compatible with Android 5. Work on progress. Don't ask me when it will be available
    2. Android 4.3 and upper : You must install the Connectivity hack (see Connectivity hack section) before connect .
    3. 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 !!!
    4. This work only for rooted users and with Windows. Don't ask for linux or for some fruit operating systems !!!
    5. The tool is not compatible with "CrossBreeder" , "adaway" or other tools that change the host file (removing localhost)
    6. 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.
    7. 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
    8. 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"
    f6K8j.png


    AndroidTool

    The AndroidTool.exe is the windows part
    h306a.png

    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”

    xwNDm.jpg


    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://xdaforums.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...)

      Ex8qfXS.png


    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://xdaforums.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.

    Unpack the zip file. This zip files contains the windows part, ADB and the android APK.

    You MUST uninstall previous version. If you don’t find it, run a dos command prompt on the installation folder and enter this command : Adb uninstall service.tracetool

    Ensure you have debugging enabled on your phone :
    Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging > Turn On

    Run the windows program : AndroidTool.exe

    The first time you use the program, click on “Show Android interface”. This will install the package and the dependencies (busybox and redsocks).
    The SuperUser process may ask you to allow “Usb tunnel”

    To start tethering click “Connect”.
    Again, 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. (It’s a beta)

    The android interface will show connections forwarded to windows.

    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.

    Market :
    The search market work, but due to the same connection problem, it’s not possible to download. I hope Google will fix the market.

    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...

    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 !

    Google play announce.

    After a LOT of search and experimentations,
    I am now able to download from market (play) without having any connection (Wi-Fi/3G).

    A new version is not for today. A lot of work is still to be done.
    One drawback: This will work only on Android 4.X

    More info later...
