Overview

The steps will be :

1. Download drivers
2. Extract drivers
3. Install drivers
4. Configure browser
5. Start tunnel
6. Start proxoid
7. Start browsing

Steps 1 to 3 are only for the first time. Next times, it will be more faster.
Note :
In the following documentation, screenshots are in french.

Step 1 : Download drivers

The real Android SDK is near 200Mb.
If you're not a developper, most of it will be unused.
So I made a subset of it that is juste 2Mb and contains adb and the windows driver.
Download it here :
for 32 bits : http://www.baroukh.com/proxoid/proxoid-adb.zip
for 64 bits : http://www.baroukh.com/proxoid/proxoid-adb64.zip
and save it on your disk.
(if you don't know witch one, try 32bits first ...)

Step 2 : Extract drivers

Right click on the file an choose "Extract all" Click Next then Next and Finish. There should be now a directory named "proxoid-adb".

Step 3 : Install drivers

Step 3.1

Plug your phone now.
Windows will work and ask you to use windows update to install drivers :

Select the third option : "Not now" and click "Next".

Step 3.2

Select second option to tell windows you will provide him the drivers. Then, click Next.

Step 3.3

Click on browse. Browse to the extracted "proxoid-adb" directory.
Select subdirefctory "usb_drivers" then "x86".
Click Next

Step 3.4

Windows is now installing the driver

Step 3.5

When installation is finish you should see something like this. Click "Finish"

Step 3.6

Step 3.7

We will now verify that all works.
Your phone should be plugged.
Browse to proxy-adb directory and execute "check.bat".
You should see something like

List of devices attached
HT848GZ40121    device

The device number can be different.
What is important is that there is something after "List of devices attached".
If yes, you make the harder.
If not, drop me a mail (mike_at_baroukh.com). I'll try to help you. If you can, provide me a screenshot.

Step 4 : Configure browser

We have to configure the proxy on your browser. If you already know how to do, go directly to step 5 after ahving configured your browser with proxy "localhost" on port "8080".

If you're using Internet Explorer

Launch your browser.
Select menu "Tools" then "Internet Options"
Go to "network" tab
Click on "Network parameters"
Check "Use a proxy server".
Enter "localhost" for server and 8080 for port.
Click Ok.

If you're using Firefox

Doc to come ...

Step 5 : Start tunnel

Go now to directory "proxy-adb" and run script "start-tunnel".

Step 6 : Start Proxoid

On your phone, run Proxoid and check "Start Proxoid".
You should see Proxoid's icon on notification bar saying that "Proxoid is running".

Step 7 : Browse

Here it is.
If I'm not wrong, you actually can browse using your phone.
Enjoy !
