This seems to do the same thing that USBModeSwitch from HTC Test Tools does, right? In Mango, it doesn't know that it's connected to the PC while in Diag Mode.

Has anyone been able to get USBModeSwitch to work correctly in Diag mode on Mango?

Hi,

Enable UART enables // USB_DRIVER_QC_COMPOSITE // Mode

Disable UART actually enables // USB_DRIVER_ROUTER_SERIAL // Mode

In later case a driver is installed and you must have device manager open to see what happens

HTC USB Modem must be used instead of PocketPC USB sync

Is this anything but a more colorful DFRouter app? In any case, it works (or rather, doesn't) exactly the same on Mango.

Hi,

Reading the title and description keeps you on track no?

It is what it says, USBSwitchTool

I am preparing a new version with hTC USB moded driver, is under testing

I'm going to take that as a "No" then, I guess... although a modded HTC USB driver may well do the trick (even just bring back the one from NoDo; maybe it got changed in the Mango update?)

Hi Ansar!
Any chance of getting this to work on cdma devices?
I assume there is something that is different with the cdma radio that prevents this from working. Thanks In Advance

i manage to force install HTC USB Modem driver and appear a HTC USB modem at my device manager.

however, it should also appear 1 more unknown device at device manager where i need to install HTC Diagnostic Interface (COM8).

at this part i do not see any unknown device at device manager.

kindly advise how do i make it work for the above.

thank you

by the way... i am on windows 7 Enterprise x64 with all latest update.

    Looking forward to this! I'll happily donate to help out if you can make this work. Thanks for your effort!

    BTW, is making this work on Mango something that can be generified and used to make other homebrew work on Mango, or is it specific to this?

    Also, I assume it will require Interop-unlock on Mango?

    Hi,

    The final version of USBSwitchTool will be uploaded today, if my networks are ok

    Both my xap's U2M7720 and USBSwitchTool work also in Mango 7720

    It will follow RegEdit and FileXplorer, with my intension to work in Mango

    I do not know yet, if before RegEdit / FileXplore, a wi-fi / hotspot improvement for USBSwitchTool will take place (if possible!!!)

    Thanks for commenting and supporting!!!

    I dont understand what is tethering?

    can i use this with my htc hd2?

    can i use my wifi on my phone to connect my desktop to my wifi roughter:confused:

    Hi,


    I did not test it on a hd2 but you can try this 1st version to see if it works

    Tether is a term for using the phone either as a

    - usb modem connected with a usb cable to a PC / Laptop for browsing internet or

    - a hotspot wi-fi center for other phones / PCs / Laptops
