Sony XZP tethering issue

#1 Post by qnix »

Debian 9 with no problem tethering using Samsung TAB S2, however, when using Sony ZXP, it is not recognized.

Any idea to get it work?

Here is the relevant lsusb and dmesg output:
idVendor=0fce, idProduct=01f1 is before enable tethering on the phone, where idVendor=0fce, idProduct=71f1 is after tethering enabled.

Code: Select all

Re: Sony XZP tethering issue

If mobile phone A tethers with Debian and mobile phone B does not tether with Debian it seems to me that it should be a question addressed to the mobile phone and not Debian...

Have you got the model of the Sony phone correct ? Is it ZXP? Or is it an Xperia XZ Premium -- XZP? http://devicesupport.swisscom.ch/web/so ... -tethering

Sorry, it is XZP. The XZP tethering does work with windows. What I discovered is that when tethering is enabled, the interface base class, sub class and protocol is EFh, 04h, 01h (Miscellaneous, RNDIS over Ethernet) instead of E0h, 01h, 03h that I've seen when using other Android phones. Maybe that's why no appropriate driver is loaded.

Sorry, it is XZP
But if I Google
Sony G8142
(From your first post) I get
Sony Xperia™ XZ Premium G8142
The userguide for the Xperia (in English) is here: http://www-support-downloads.sonymobile ... d7.1.1.pdf

"Sharing your mobile data connection" page 59.

Does this even LOOK like your phone?
