Hi everyone. Today I took the time to make a video guide to show you how to reverse tether with the Galaxy Y using your USB cable. You do not need any wireless hardware on your computer, routers with antennas or anything like that because we won't be using a single bit of signals. I personally find this awesome to use, it really helps me update my Google Play apps and download other cool stuff from there which some are big in size and can suck up my phone's data plan.

Before we begin with the instructions, download the following tools:
PC Tool for Windows
USB Tunnel.apk

So after you have these 2 files on your computer all you need to do is watch the video guide below:

    1. Make sure you have all the drivers installed (for that I'd suggest installing Samsung Kies if you don't have it). Also your phone is rooted, right?

    1. Ok can you answer me these questions first?

      1. Is your phone rooted?
      2. When you establish the connection between the app on your Galaxy Y and the app in Windows, do you get the message on the Windows app saying something like "Connection done"?
      3. Do you have the packet data option enabled when trying to download from Play Store and such? Because that's what you need to have turned on in order to download.

    1. I would advise you to plug the phone to a USB hub on the back of
      your computer instead of the ones which are in front. Also you could try re-installing the Samsung USB drivers. If you currently have any installed, uninstall anything that has to do with them and then either look up on google the "samsung usb drivers" pack or install Samsung Kies again (it should install drivers along with it).

      Then after that to verify that it recognizes your device, connect your Galaxy Y and go to Mass Storage.

      Just a question, what version of Windows are you running?

    1. Try turning it on, it helps. Or atleast it does for when you want to
      download from Google Play. Even if your packet data is turned on, it won't use any of your MBs from your operator but from your computer.

    1. "A/I Check Superuser : NO RIGHT" - That sounds like you have not rooted your phone.
