Hi Amanda, Hi everyone,
Great tuto! I just have a problem at the top end: in the cmd it says “error: device not found” I did follow every step except from the tetherbot installation which I installed straight from my phone. Is that the problem? I saw few other persons saw the same error message. Did anyone find a solution?
Many thanks to all,
Aurore

First let me say thanks for trying to make this a simple process. It’s much appreciated. I do have an issue. I get to the part where I plug in my G1 phone to my vista laptop and it doesn’t even recognize that a new device has been plugged in. So I tried using Matt Kendall’s suggestion about a manual install, but my comp doesn’t show a usb mass storage device. Any ideas would help. This is a bit frustrating.

Thanks
Scott

Thank you for the step by step instruction and it is working good. Does the software have expiration date. Thanks again

Hey guys,

Thanks a lot for this! I refuse to pay the rip-off merchants at BT £120 for flicking a switch to give me a phoneline that I’m only going to use for broadband anyway so this is a great alternative.

I’ve been trying for months to get this working… didnt know about the ‘remote DNS’ setting though so didnt get very far! But here I am, posting this from my lappy via my G1 data connection.

Thanks again for your help (and also, well done on the keywords! First hit on Google :) )

@joanna
You can always run ADB from the Android developers kit.

download the Android SDK http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
,extract it and find the Tools folder.
goto run (windows key +r )type cmd.exe to reach the dosprompt. Then “adb Abd forward tcp:1080 tcp:1080″
If the daemon launches your good to go.

Hello and thank you for a wonderful guide.
Im wondering if the G1 will be consuming more power faster than the usb charger is able to recharge the phone?
Is it possible to keep the phone on for a day and download a torrentfile without the draining the battery?

Thanks for posting this – without it I wouldn’t have figured out the proxied DNS part, yay for Tetherbot!

Ian, I used your mac guide but it gets an error in the terminal..

cd /Applications/android-sdk-mac_x86-1.6_r1/toolsLast login: Thu Oct 22 14:32:26 on console
MacBook-Pro-van-Rens:~ ****$ cd /Applications/android-sdk-mac_x86-1.6_r1/tools
MacBook-Pro-van-Rens:tools ****$ ./adb forward tcp:1080 tcp:1080
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
[b]error: device not found[/b]

Do you know what’s wrong?
