Subject: USB Tethering Not Detected (Charging Only) - hEX S 2025 - ROS v7.22.3

Hardware

Hello,
I am experiencing an issue with my MikroTik hEX S (2025 refresh model e60iugs) running RouterOS v7.22.3.

Problem: When I connect my Android phone via USB to the MikroTik USB port, it only charges the phone. The lte1 interface does not appear under /interface.

Context:

  • This setup was working previously for internet access.

  • I do not know when it stopped working.

  • I have tried using a high-quality data cable.

  • The USB port works (I tested a USB drive).

What I have already tried:

  • Rebooting both the phone and the MikroTik.

  • Toggling USB tethering on the phone after connecting.

  • Checking /system resource usb (only lists USB bridges).

Can you please advise on how to get the lte1 interface to reappear?

As you were asked some questions here: Hex S 2025 - support for USB 3/4/5G modem not seen - package missing? - #14 by holvoetn
try to answer them and some more:

What kind of phone it is?
Have you used same phone before?
Have you updated Android in your phone?
When did it work last time, more or less .. month? 6 months? year?
What else changed?

Try another cable.

Is USB Tethering works on any PC with this phone?

Did this happen when you upgraded to 7.22.3?

Which factory ROS has the device?
