[SOLVED] USB Tethering - Missing RNDIS Driver

jacksonwalters · Jun 12, 2011

Problem: I'm trying to USB tether my phone using a Wi-Fi connection (3G is not available atm). I connect my phone to my PC. I go into menu -> settings -> Wireless & network settings -> tethering & portable hotspot, and check USB tethering. Device manager says an RNDIS driver is missing.

Setup: Rooted (using unRevoked) HTC Incredible running CyanogenMod 7.03, not overclocked atm. USB debugging is enabled. I am running Windows 7 64-bit on my PC. Everything is running smoothly.

What I've tried:

I've searched everywhere and cannot find this driver. Of course, Windows 7 cannot find it online.
I can't install ActiveSync because I am running Windows 7.
I've installed Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1, but it still can't find the driver.
The Google OEM USB drivers out of the Android SDK don't work.
Without HTC Sync installed, I simply do not have the RNDIS driver. With HTC sync installed, this is what happens: The RNDIS driver gets installed, but when I check the USB tethering box on my phone, it goes on for a second, and then immediately goes off again.

Please help, this is one of the most frustrating problems I've ever dealt with, and it seems to be a simple driver issue.

Just to save some people some heavy head scratching: If you get error 10 for the RNDIS device in the device manager and USB-tethering does not work, disable USB-debugging for the time being.

RNDIS_Driver_Windows7_8

I had same problem. My asus zenfone 6 was not able to usb tethering on my windows 8.1 computer.
I got help frım this topic but it was not clear. So clear how to is shown below.

First download the driver and unrar it.

1. Connect your phone, open usb tethering
2. go to your device manager.
3. Find the Device with the little ? and then maybe a yellow !. (RDNIS)
4. Right click that device and select Update Driver.
5. When the window pops up, select, Browse My Computer for driver software, then on the next screen, click on the bottom that says, LET ME PICK.
6. Then it will ask you the device type, go down select Network Adapters.
7. Select microsoft as manufacturer and select Microsoft Corporation.
8. Then, select Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device.
9. Hit next, it will say it's not safe, etc etc, proceed to install it.

Tethering With XP-64 Pro And Remote NDIS Install

It took me about a day to figure this out and yes, some of us still use XP. (I use it for mechanical CAD work, because I can't afford to buy all new CAD proggies, which would be required, if I upgraded Windows.) Tethering now works great and I can even share the connection further using MS Internet sharing on XP, which provides the tethered Internet to machines on my wired network and wifi router without having to connect them to my Moto G4 Plus. This means I can also place whatever firewall I choose in the path and extend the wifi range (my Netgear wifi signal is more powerful than my Moto G4 Plus).

I tried two .inf files. The only one that worked was produced by cutting and pasting to an .inf file from here:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/network/remote-ndis-inf-template#rndis-inf-template-for-ndis-60-windows-7-and-later

Then I had to explicitly add my Moto G4 Plus ID, as described here (remembering to enable USB tethering on my Moto G4 phone AFTER plugging it into my Windows computer):
http://karceh.blogspot.com/2012/05/how-to-usb-tether-android-phones-with.html

The rest of the install was nearly as described here in this xda-dev thread. Browse directly to the .inf file when given the chance to select the driver.

Here is my .inf file with my Moto G4 ID (you'll need to replace it with your phone's ID in the right spot, of course). Search for "Moto G4" to see where I placed my G4's ID:
