Problems with High Sierra (10.13)?
Hi, I've been using rel7 on older versions of OSX 10.8+ for a few years while without any issues. However, when I upgraded to 10.13 USB tethering stopped working, so I upgraded to rel8 (& rebooted). It's kinda working, but not well. Here's what I see:
- in Network Preferences, the device connects and DHCP works and I get a local IP address correctly.
- At this point I can ping internet locations, but DNS was failing.
- Workaround: add 8.8.8.8 as the DNS resolver and things seem to be working well.
So, I'm not sure if this is just my machine or not, but thought I'd add this to the mix.
Hi I have a Macbook Pro (15-inch, 2017) and I it doesn't detect my one plus 3t when I enable USB tethering. Can anyone help me?
Thanks iGlaedr
I Solved it my self, don't have your phone plugged in when your installing the Software. Reboot an then it works.
@iGlaedr 's solution worked for me
Fairphone 2
OS: Fairphone Open 17.10.2
iMac: macOS 10.13 High Sierra
First I have tried to built from source:
$ git checkout rel8
HEAD is now at 920d799... HoRNDIS: rel8pre2 becomes rel8 (fixes #42)
$ xcodebuild -project HoRNDIS.xcodeproj/
=== BUILD TARGET HoRNDIS OF PROJECT HoRNDIS WITH THE DEFAULT CONFIGURATION (Release) ===
Check dependencies
Code Signing Error: No certificate matching 'Developer ID Application: Joshua Wise (54GTJ2AU36)' found: Select a different signing certificate for CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY, a team that matches your selected certificate, or switch to automatic provisioning.
error: There is no SDK with the name or path '/Users/klaus/GIT/HoRNDIS/macosx10.6'
** BUILD FAILED **
The following build commands failed:

(1 failure)
So I have downloaded the binary package from http://joshuawise.com/horndis. The installation went without a flaw and after rebooting the iMac I can use my phone for USB tethering.
Thanks !
rel8 isn't working for high sierra.It installs but doesn't detect my moto g3 even after rebooting, please help!
sorry, solved it. It was just a permission issue.
ashk-sonkar - Glad you solved the permission issue.
Care to share with everyone else how you solved it?
I can confirm Horndis works with Samsung S7 on High Sierra. Here's a quick guide:
brew cask install horndis- You might have to open System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> General and whitelist the installer to run.
- Reboot OSX, press and hold CMD+R until Recovery Mode boots, then open Terminal.
csrutil disablerebootsudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/HoRNDIS.kext- This caused Android to show up in my System Preferences -> Network list.

- This caused Android to show up in my System Preferences -> Network list.
Friends, with this program is it possible to connect Galaxy S7 on Mac via USB cable? Are you version for OSX 10.12 (Sierra)? Thank you
@radimidia Please try and let us know. S7 + High Sierra works for me.
Tethering works using the above process from Nowaker --- thanks...
to complete newbies starting from scratch....
open up a terminal and type:
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
then:
brew tap caskroom/cask
then follows Nowakers above
Friends did not work out. I did the Nowaker procedure. I did the process on the terminal with the "csrutil disable" command line. See in the Photos!

Dear Sad-Story, should this step with the command line be performed after the process described by Nowaker?Thank you

What operating system version runs on your MacBook Pro? I tested on various brands of cell phones (LG, Motorola), but only Samsung did not work. Missing test on Samsung S8 with Android 8. Throughout the day I will pass the list of cell phones. Let's research

Latest HoRNDIS stopped working with recent updates on Macbook Air OSX 10.13.4 (17E202) with Galaxy S7 G930F, Android 7.0 kernel 3.18.14-12365438, Android security patch level March 1 2018.
These devices were working together a couple months ago, definitely before system updates were applied to both via standard Apple App Store/Samsung OTA os updates.
I see the "SAMSUNG Android" interface in Network Preferences on the Mac, but it never becomes active when I connect the S7. Similarly, on the S7's tethering settings page, "USB tethering" remains grayed out even when I connect.
I have tried multiple cables, and the same phone tethers fine to a Dell XPS 9550 with same cables.
Nowaker steps worked with Motorola Moto phone.
The
sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/HoRNDIS.kext
command has to be run each time.
Is there a way to run this without disabling csrutil?
I have SIP disabled, used csrutil, etc.
The kext is loaded (It shows in the boot logs), but It doesn't work at all. Tried OnePlus 5, then the Moto G, then Moto G2.
