- My HTC G2 phone is rooted and running Cyanogenmod 7
- I don't have a data plan.
- Sometimes I want to connect the phone to the Internet when there isn't Wi-Fi, to update Market apps, backup SMS messages to Gmail, sync new contacts from Gmail, etc. Things I can't do with USB mass storage mode.
- I have a Windows 7 Professional computer connected to the Internet, but I'm not allowed to set up an ad-hoc Wi-Fi network. (If I do, they will notice and hunt me down.)
Is there a way for the phone to access the Internet through the USB connection to the computer? If so, how do I set it up?
Connect the phone to a computer or laptop by using the USB cable. The best success with this operation is when the computer is a PC running Windows. Open the Settings app. Choose More, and then choose Tethering & Mobile Hotspot. Place a check mark by the USB Tethering item. Internet tethering is activated. Android Reverse Tethering tool is an free windows utility which makes use of ADB to share your Computer’s internet connection with your android phone over an USB data cable. Open the downloaded ReverseTethering.zip and run the “ AndroidTool.exe ” file.

I recently discovered SimpleRT which works very well with Linux (and apparently OSX as well). Simply enable USB Debugging on your device (no root required), install the APK linked from that page on your device and connect it to your PC via USB, and then run the binary on your PC.
It will set up the connection as a VPN tunnel (
tun0
by default) and your device should prompt you to (a) allow SimpleRT to create/oversee the VPN connection as well as (b) whether to run it when the device is configured as a particular USB accessory (which is what the binary does).The project does not include a pre-built binary, so I've uploaded one I built for Ubuntu.
Below is a manual method that should work on Linux or Windows: http://blog.mathieu.carbou.me/post/60454997009/reverse-usb-tethering-with-android-2-2
STEP 1:
For Windows: Install USB drivers from Android SDK
For Linux: Nothing to do
STEP 2:
On Nexus One: Connect USB cable and activate USB Tethering. You should see on linux or windows a new network interface.
STEP 3:
On Linux Computer, setup a bridge:
See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkConnectionBridge to setup bridges
On windows, Bridge the 2 network interfaces
STEP 4:
Setup usb0 interface of your phone. You have to options:
- From your computer, execute:
- Or in a root terminal on your phone, type:
You should now be able to connect to Internet on your phone using your computer’s Internet connection.
Try to do a ping www.google.com to be sure !

To shut down the reverse-tethering, first unbridge interfaces on your computer:
Zombie apocalypse 3 hacked unblocked. Then on your phone, uncheck the USB Tethering option !
You can also use Windows to create a WiFi network (using Connectify) and connect your device to that: http://www.nexusoneforum.net/forum/nexus-one-faq-how-tos/3133-reverse-tether-getting-internet-your-phone.html

There are some more possibilities -- but all of them I know of require a rooted device.
First, there's an App named Reverse Tether available for free on the Play Store (it's a limited trial, which restricts the time you can be connected -- but at least you can test this way whether your device is fully supported; the full version is about USD 5). According to an article at AndroidAuthority, setup should be as easy as 1-2-3: Plug in the USB cable, start the app, let it auto-configure (manual configuration is available as well) -- and there you go. You can also let it ask you to connect when it finds an USB-connection.
I know, this is not USB -- but for completeness (and giving alternatives) I thought I might add these as well:
fiddling with the system and patching around
Several manual methods are available as well (and described e.g. at XDA) -- but they are mostly technically complex, and expecting you to patch system files; not for the every-day-user, but rather for the tech-freak.
Terminal and go
However, another nice method should just involve 3 lines in the terminal, and is described in a post here, to connect to an ad-hoc Wifi network. Basically, it should go like this:
manipulating some config file
Another quite easy method is also described here, and involves editing the
wpa_supplicant.conf
file once (manually adding your ad-hoc Wifi network).Do I need to say, really? Use a Wifi router. There are even some small 'Travel routers' around for less than USD 50. And then connect your phone like you use to connect it to other Wifi networks..

I've found a good tool for reverse tethering on xda-developers forum. It's called Android Reverse Tethering. It works with Windows and requires a rooted phone.
It works fine on my HTC Desire HD running MIUI v4.

Android reverse tethering steps:
Note: Works only in a rooted Android phone.
- Connect Android device via USB.
- Enable USB tethering. To do so, go to Settings → More.. → Tethering & mobile hotspot → Usb tethering.
- At host machine, the usb tethering connection may be detected by the network manager.
Its name will be something like 'Wired connection 2' (or 3).
You must edit it's 'IPV4/Method' to 'Shared to other computers'.

3.1. Without the network manager, you will have to do it manually:
Now, as explained here at the end of Step1 you have to modify
iptables
with sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE
. But.. prefer allow network manager to do it if possible.- At Android device, you can issue these commands using a terminal with
su
there, or from your host machine by using ADB:If it doesn't get the IP address, or if you are using some application that a static IP address is desirable like 'Webkey for Android' App, then assign it manually:
Now internet would be working in the Android phone.
To check, at
adb shell
or android terminal, try the command ping www.google.com
.It works for me.

I know this is a late answer, but as all existing answers suggest that USB reverse tethering is only possible if either your device is rooted or has system support for reverse tethering, I though it'd be worth pointing out there's one more option:
I was looking for a reverse tethering solution that would work on my unrooted devices and with a MacBook, but I just could not find anything. Eventually, I started to develop my own solution. The result is an app that works on devices running Android 4.0 or higher on client side, and all major desktop OSs on the host side.
The app is available on Google Play: ReverseTethering NoRoot

I know this is an even later answer, but it is worth mentioning it.
No rooting needed!
No app installation needed!* Which is not even possible if you do not have some other internet connection.
Android Phone Usb Tethering Windows Xp
There is a project called gnirehtet.
- Install adb on to the host PC (Windows/Linux/Mac)
- Download the gnirehtet zip-file to the host
- Unzip it
- Run the command
That's it! For more information, read the readme file of gnirehtet on their website.
*=Behind the scenes it will install an apk file on to your device via the USB connection.
