Is it possible to USB tether an android device using adb through the terminal?

Question

I\'m setting up some tests and it will require a decent number of phones to be usb tethered and configured. I\'ve been successful in configuring them the way I want to once

Answer 1

For Android 5.0+ (Lollipop, Marshmallow) use:

adb shell su -c service call connectivity 30 i32 1 to turn USB Tethering ON

adb shell su -c service call connectivity 30 i32 0 to turn USB Tethering OFF

Keep in mind that this requires root.
