Android 2.3.6 - USB Tethering and ADB at the same time

Question

I'm trying to use USB tethering and ADB at the same time with a rooted Android 2.3.6 (yeah, old, I know) but I can't, when I activate USB tethering, adb stops recognizing the device. Is it how Android 2.3.6 works? Is there anything I can do to have both working?

Thanks!

Answer 1

don't use the tethering option, disable it.

install proxoid app and start the server on your device. Then configure your system proxy for HTTP to be localhost on port 8080 and run:

adb forward tcp:8080 tcp:8080

the first is the proxoid port and the second the one of your proxy
