The only thing I could think of is an issue with the USB gadget driver on the phone, but I'm really not sure. The file /var/log/syslog usually has more error messages than dmesg, you could try
Code:
sudo tail -n 25 /var/log/syslog
Maybe there will be more detailed error messages there.

[root@HP-PC ~]# ifconfig usb0 192.168.0.1
SIOCSIFFLAGS: Cannot assign requested address
Now you know why I never tried that. I would go for a different IP address - if it's seeing your router as 192.168.0.1 some alarm bell might ring. Try 192.168.3.1 - well out of the way. This is too crazy to be real, but those things sometimes turn out to be :-/.

Ifconfig doesn't perform any checks on the IP address you enter, you can assign the same IP as a different device. You'll experience serious network problems, but it'll work. The error the OP is getting leads me to believe there's a driver error.
