I don't have the same hardware, rather I have a lenovo thinkpad and samsung galaxy mobile, but the procedure is a little different to this, which may or may not be helpful. The steps I take are:
1. turn on pc and have it boot right up of course,
2. turn on phone til it becomes live,
3. turn wifi off on phone,
4. select tethering on phone - at this point I think the phone expects to be contacted wirelessly, and the usb cable option is greyed out,
5. plug the usb cable from phone to computer - I watch dmesg -w to see that the computer sees the phone,
6. at this point the greyed out usb option on the phone becomes available, and I choose that, and it's all fine from there.
