I had no problem with USB connection sharing till the previous release, 3.0.3.10, but last update broke it completely. After pluging the phone, the computer's network configuration starts but gets a timeout while trying to get the IP address. Is there a proper way to debug this failure?

USB tethering works again with Sailfish OS 3.3.0 release. There is still no proper GUI for it, so you will need to rely on the CLI. Please read this help article: https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/203548266.

@chalupa: If you were using usb-moded-connection-sharing-android-config.rpm or functionally equivalent mode configuration -> those ceased to work after connman changes around 3.0.3 release.
If you were using usb-moded-connection-sharing-android-connman-config.rpm and it worked, it ought to have continued to work. [Some devices e.g. Xperia XA2 and Xperia 10 have problems with this config too].
Both / at least one of these configuration packages should be working in SFOS >= 3.3.0
On a Sony XA2 Plus (3.2.1.20); made the following:
Create the file, /etc/usb-moded/dyn-modes/connection_sharing.ini:
[mode]
name = connection_sharing
module = none
network = 1
network_interface = rndis0
appsync = 1
[options]
sysfs_path = /sys/class/android_usb/android0/functions
sysfs_value = rndis
softconnect_path = /sys/class/android_usb/android0/enable
softconnect = 1
softconnect_disconnect = 0
idProduct = 0A02
dhcp_server = 1
nat = 1
nat_interface=rmnet_data0
Added at end of: /etc/usb-moded/dyn-modes/developer_mode-android.ini
nat = 1
nat_interface = rmnet_data0
Executed on operating system:
devel-su
sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o rmnet_data0 -j MASQUERADE
iptables -A FORWARD -m conntrack --ctstate RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -i rndis0 -o rmnet_data0 -j ACCEPT
On the client computer (linux)
ip route add default via 192.168.2.15 dev enp0s20f0u1
- 192.168.2.15 is the IP address of the USB interface Sailfish side
- enp0s20f0u1 is the name of the USB Interface (ip a or ifconfig)
Then added the 8.8.8.8 to the file /etc/resolv.conf
Until a new reboot of the phone, you don't need to excute again the command on operating system.
Hope this will help people.

After trying several proposals made here in tjc, the one that actually worked in my case is
@chalupa it would be good if you could confirm which device you are using as get no issues with F5121, F5122 or F5321 but XA2 series is a different matter as continually get "Preparing USB mode" with suggested fixes.
aspergerguy ( 2019-08-15 12:42:46 +0300 )editOn XA2 after updates it seems to be breaking for me. Some of the config files get overwritten by the updates including 3.2.1 Nuuksio. After using the link above to revisit those config files it is working again. Thanks to @ixevix@chalupa, @"Philipe de Swet" and @rozgwi

I'm not sure I've quite the same problem, but the question is mine. After the 3.1 Sailfish OS upgrade, not way to get Internet Data from my Jolla to my PC.
Formerly (Sailfish OS 2), I had to set the Developer Mode and Remote Connection, at my own risk. After, I had to open the developer console and install (superuser) the usb-moded-connection-sharing-android-config package
I had to repeat it with the Sailfish OS 3.0 major upgrade, but with this 3.1 one, it seems not to work anymore.

It is a bit difficult to suggest something because it is unclear what you have tried already and might be missing. What OS do you want to connect to? What have you tried lsusb or lsblk for instance? It is difficult to offer a starting point.
