As from the title, my pc wont recognize my phone's(LG P990) usb tethering anymore.

About 4 days ago i installed a new OS(SlimKat 4.4.4) and it was working just fine, but yesterday - when i connected my phone to pc and once again activated the tethering - it wasnt working anymore, i checked the device manager and noticed it was signed as "unrecognized device".

I reinstalled the OS few times thinking i had messed with some stuff in in but nothing changed so at some point i decided to try it on ubuntu and guess what, it works, so i directly exclude the opportunity that the problem is caused by phone and not pc.

Here a few pics(ye in italian) of the device manager;







I also tried restoring the pc to a month ago but keeps doing the same thing.

I think that's all, anyone knows what's going on?

I can't get it working either on my nexus 5 :) with windows 7.. sounds like some random driver bug with 4.4.x and win7

I think I know how to solve the nexus might be the same with BB93's phone when you plug it in go into settings and find storage. Then there should be something in a corner that gives more options and find "USB computer connection" and chack the "Media device" box. That's how it is with my Nexus 4 and it should be the same with both of yours.

@JC: damnit, yours worked at all? i cant understand why mine worked for few days and then died.. i'm thinking to change rom again D: moreover it worked well with the 4.4.2 i had before

@7up: isnt it for mass storage? i'm not sure to have understood what do you mean

Stop the usb debugging from developers options.

Nope, i know usb debugging doesnt allow tethering to work, i keep it always off because of that... anyway i found out what was creating this issue, i had to unroot my phone, right now i'm connected from pc using it with tethering. :D

I'll check if it works after re-rooting, it cant even be an error in the root procedure because i have a button in developers menu that allows to turn it on for apps, adb or both.

Thanks for all the suggestions anyway! :D

Added 2 minutes later:

Well re-rooted, and i'm still writing from pc, YAYYYY!! :awesome:
