Connect an HTC desire to an ad-hoc network

Ok, i found this tutorial.
ott.net/knowledge/htc-desire-adhoc/
Installed apk and trying to terminal adb shell command and getting error
abd: not found
what is wrong?
this terminal i runned from phone not from pc..

You have to run adb from pc. A guide for installing it can be found in my signature.
TouchPaled from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App

I started adb shell and when enter:
insmod /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko
I have this error:
insmod: init_module '/system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko' failed (Operation not permitted)

I have spent some time yesterday trying the exact same thing, I didn't succeed.
For your question:
Try using the command "su" before starting insmod.
Also remember to assign execute permissions to iwconfig, else it will not work either!
I probably did something wrong (or it just doesn't work on my ROM (I'm on redux2)) because i couldnt get it to work.
Also the app ad-hoc (follow the links on his page i think) fails for me. Wifi will go to error state and only reboot makes it work again.
If you succeed please tell us how you did it because I'm veeery interested!

Doesn't work with su command...
I trying to change bcm4329.ko permission with root explorer but nothing happening.
Maybe this is the problem?
And where is located iwconfig file?
Can I change file permission from adb shell and how?

Finaly WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Because, I cant enable ad hoc on my Desire (I try many ways and nothinhg...),
I found another way to share wifi internet from pc to android phone.
This is my way:
Download VirtualRouter
Download fresh wifi drivers for Windows 7 64bit/32bit
Disable IP6 (if you have Windows 7 64bit)
After install VirtualRouter, reset your PC and VirtualRouter will start with your Windows in system tray.
In Network Connections, enable Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter if disabled.
Go to Local Area Connection (your default internet connection), properties -> sharing and check all box. Select home network connection -> Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter or Wireless Network Connection 2.
Run cmd as admin and type this:
netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=Test key=password
netsh wlan start hostednetwork
VR automaticly write ssid and key and starting virtual network.
Desire CAN SEE this network, and you CAN CONNECT!
If you have problems go here.

Too bad you couldn't get ad-hoc to work, i would like to have that solution, it is more elegant.

[SOLVED] OpenVPN Full Tunnel

Short Version:
Got an OpenVPN server on my NAS. GN connects & works fine; remote resources are reachable. I now want to know how I can route all traffic through the tunnel. (Is this possible?)
Long Version:
For those times when I'm traveling (domestically and internationally) and/or using a questionable Internet connection, I'd like to secure the connection.
I've got a [stock] rooted GN running Jelly Bean with BusyBox installed. My NAS has two built-in VPN solutions one of which being OpenVPN so I got that setup which created an .ovpn file containing the following configuration:
Code:
dev tun
tls-client
remote YOUR_SERVER_IP 1194
# The "float" tells OpenVPN to accept authenticated packets from any address,
# not only the address which was specified in the --remote option.
# This is useful when you are connecting to a peer which holds a dynamic address
# such as a dial-in user or DHCP client.
# (Please refer to the manual of OpenVPN for more information.)
#float
# If redirect-gateway is enabled, the client will redirect it's
# default network gateway through the VPN.
# It means the VPN connection will firstly connect to the VPN Server
# and then to the internet.
# (Please refer to the manual of OpenVPN for more information.)
#redirect-gateway
# dhcp-option DNS: To set primary domain name server address.
# Repeat this option to set secondary DNS server addresses.
#dhcp-option DNS DNS_IP_ADDRESS
pull
proto udp
script-security 2
ca ca.crt
comp-lzo
reneg-sec 0
auth-user-pass
After installing OpenVPN Installer & OpenVPN Settings, I had to manually symlink busybox, ifconfig, and route from /system/bin to /system/xbin in order for OpenVPN to run properly.
Code:
#Note: In an attempt to be thorough, and for any Googlers or forum searchers (+1)...
#First I had to mount /system as read/write via:
mount -o -rw,remount /system
#Then create the symlinks via:
ln -s /system/bin/busybox /system/xbin/busybox
ln -s /system/bin/ifconfig /system/xbin/ifconfig
ln -s /system/bin/route /system/xbin/route
#Then remount /system as read-only via:
mount -o ro,remount /system
Once all of the above was setup, I initiated the connection, successfully authenticated, and was able to reach remote resources without issue.
What I would like to do at this point is get it setup so that I can have a second profile that routes all traffic through the VPN. I assume its a client-side configuration change but I really don't know at this juncture.
Many thanks!

Doesn't CyanogenMod ROM have native OpenVPN support? I think the OpenVPN client on CM has an option to route all traffic through the VPN. I think for what you want to do you should need a custom ROM or kernel that supports iptables.
iptables is a system file that allows the system to redirect network traffic usually for apps like tethering, firewalls, and proxies.

Thanks for taking the time to reply KemikalElite.
I've got BusyBox 1.20.2 installed and I do have an iptables binary (v1.4.11.1). With solutions like Hotspot Shield VPN that don't require root yet supports encryption for all traffic, I figured root + OpenVPN + BusyBox + iptables would be sufficient.
My initial assumption was that I would need to make some changes to my OpenVPN configuration to encrypt & route all traffic through the tunnel. But maybe I've been thinking about this all wrong and its less about OpenVPN and more about running a custom script once connected to route everything through the tunnel; and vice versa when I disconnect to restore the original configuration.
Perhaps I should be scouring OpenVPN forums?

You have the tun module as well right?
code.google.com/p/android-openvpn-settings/issues/list
Check through some of those issues. Something did say that the DNS servers may need to be manually set.
OpenVPN is so complex because of the config options. I find it easier to use native PPTP connections since there's no config only authentication and it routes all traffic automatically.

You need to enter "redirect-gateway" into your ovpn config file.... Just remove the # in the your config

Thanks for the reply ZiCoN!
I should have mentioned this sooner - terribly sorry for omitting this.
Once I got the VPN connected, I did the old 'what is my ip' to verify the route. It was still using the provider's network, but I could reach my NAS and other remote devices in the 192.168.x.x range - so the VPN itself was working. After reading the mini explanation in the config file I enabled 'redirect-gateway' and after reconnecting I could no longer access the Internet. I checked the OpenVPN Manual I added 'def1' after the 'redirect-gateway' statement, reconnected but still no go: I can no longer access the Internet. Remote resources are still accessible in both scenarios.

I somehow missed this when drafting my last reply. I think you're right about it being a DNS problem. I made a change to the config file (adding a few lines for 'dhcp-option DNS x.x.x.x') and within OpenVPN used the 'Fix DNS' button.
Thanks all for your time, thoughts, opinions and instructions!

You probably need to allow traffic to route back along the vpn film the internet. On your gateway, route vpn addresses to the VPN server and make sure forwarding is enabled on the vpn server.

[Q] Reverse tether ("internet passthrough") on DHD using JellyTime ROM?

Hi.
I didn't want to start this in the JellyTime dev thread and take it off-topic, and figured a separate thread would be more useful to anyone searching for this.
Aim: Access the internet on my DHD using my Linux PC's internet connection.
Set-up: Ubuntu 12.04, Desire HD (European), JellyTime R21.
Process/progress so far:
I found a script here... I modified it a little, so it looks like this:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
adb shell 'echo 6 > /sys/devices/platform/msm_hsusb/usb_function_switch'
sleep 1
adb shell ifconfig usb0 192.168.99.5 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
sleep 1
adb shell setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8
get_ip ()
{
ifconfig usb0 | grep inet | awk '{print $2}' | sed 's/addr://' | grep .
}
echo "waiting for IP on computer usb0"
while [[ `get_ip` < 192 ]];do sleep 2; done
ip=`get_ip`
echo "IP adress is $ip "
adb shell route add default gw $ip dev usb0
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE
If I set my device to "USB tether" mode, running (as su) "ifconfig usb0 up" works fine, but running the above script generates:
Code:
/system/bin/sh: can't create /sys/devices/platform/msm_hsusb/usb_function_switch: No such file or directory
waiting for IP on computer usb0
connect.sh: 14: connect.sh: cannot open 192: No such file
connect.sh: 14: connect.sh: [[: not found
IP adress is 192.168.42.245
No such process
Is the problem that usb_function_switch is not present in Cyanogenmod? If so, I guess randomblame (the JellyTIme dev) would have to add this to his DHD port of CM10. I think it has been added for the HTC Hero.
Incidentally, I also tried using this app. I followed the instructions, and can ping my DHD from the PC, but pressing the start button throws the message "No tetherable USB interface!".
Any tips and advice (even if it's just telling me it's not possible, and that I should give up now) would be appreciated.
Thanks.
EDIT (P.S.): If we can come to the conclusion that this is something to do with the ROM (e.g. usb_function_switch) then I will create an issue for this in the ROM issue tracker... but I didn't want to do that immediately in case it is just me missing something obvious.

Well, even if you create the usb_function_switch file, the ROM still doesn't support Internet pass-through, so putting "6" in it won't do anything. You can put it on the issue tracker, but I have not yet seen a non-Sense ROM have that feature.

Really? It supports USB tethering... I was pretty sure that was all that was needed... See this.

First of all, I'm not sure if that site you're quoting is for the Desire or the Desire HD. Second, USB tethering allows the computer to use the phone's internet (which is supported); internet pass-through is the other way around. Third, I could be wrong about JellyTime supporting internet pass-through; where did you see that?

I was under the impression that passthrough uses the same connection as tether, but with slightly different config.

Could definitely use that...the reverse tether would be great in remote area's with spotty connections as well as in buildings like hospitals.

If that's true, that's really interesting.

Well, we have to find out how it works because i want to use JB but i can't because it doesn't has Reverse Tether. Sense Roms are my only Option and i hate that. If someone gets the solution it would be nice if you make a tutorial for that.

Found a solution. Search the forum for Reverse Tethering 2.30 .

[Q] Help ? Xperia ARC+DarkKernel+LX : Wifi almost working, only sees the gateway

Hi,
This is my first post, on this great forum, so I'm posting as a "noob"...
So my problem :
- I installed the LegacyXperia 20130908 CM10.1 release. It was working almost OK
- But because of the high wifi drain, I gave the lated DarkKernel a try (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451839)
It seems to perform very good BUT I just noticed something really weird : I have access to the internet through my wifi LAN, I can ping my gateway BUT nothing else works on the local LAN :
ping fails :
[email protected]:/ $ ping -c 1 192.168.1.13
PING 192.168.1.13 (192.168.1.13) 56(84) bytes of data.
From 192.168.1.10 icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable
The arp table seems incomplete :
1|[email protected]:/ $ arp -a
d810.home (192.168.1.13) at <incomplete> on wlan0
livebox.home (192.168.1.1) at 00:1f:95:26:25:4d [ether] on wlan0
The routes seem ok, the ip neighbours are not :
[email protected]:/ $ ip route show
default via 192.168.1.1 dev wlan0
192.168.1.0/24 dev wlan0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.10
192.168.1.1 dev wlan0 scope link
[email protected]:/ $ ip neighbor show
192.168.1.13 dev wlan0 FAILED
192.168.1.1 dev wlan0 lladdr 00:1f:95:26:25:4d STALE
AH, on more weird thing, the kernel arp table has lots of zeroes for the unreachable devices MAC adresses (yes, I have 192.168.1.13 and 1.15 are up and running) :
[email protected]:/ $ cat /proc/net/arp
IP address HW type Flags HW address Mask Device
192.168.1.1 0x1 0x2 00:1f:95:26:25:4d * wlan0
192.168.1.15 0x1 0x0 00:00:00:00:00:00 * wlan0
And I can't seem to be able to communicate with the local LAN only with the android phone...
I have static IPs in my DSL router, I can't set the arp tables manually.
I *think* this was all working with the default ROM kernel, but before I attempt to revert back to that kernel to check (I backed up the modules, but yet another noob thing, I'm not sure putting back the tar into /lib/modules will be enough...) :
==> this is my noob question : anybody knows how I can report that to the dev, and how I can get help ?
Since it's my first post (only 9 remaining now !), I can't post in dev section...
Thanks && regards

Did you flash the DarkModules?

Hi,
Yes i did flash them in cwm...

Hi,
Thanks for the reminder.
But actually, by dev, i meant the kernel dev : the issue i see is not a force close or things like that,
and it appeared after i flashed this new kernel which seems better for the battery.
I think this is a kernel/wifi modules issue, not a rom one.
Or a noob error, but then i hope some of you can help me understand my error
As i said, wifi is somehow working since i'm replying just now using it...
It's just that apart from the dhcp/gateway, my device seems unable to learn any mac address with this kernel.
I haven't tried a tcpdump for now, and i wanted to test ipv6 but my 'great' dsl/wifi box does not support v6 - yes, that still exists...
Regards

He is also developing the kernel together with his team, which is given within the .zip file.

Ahh... txs.
OK, now I don't understand anymore anything...
I did :
- remount rw /system/
- cleanup and then restore the /system/lib/modules backup I had done - using tar
- reflash the ROM kernel (200130908)
And... still no ping on the wLAN, but I can ping google and the GW. ??
The arp table still shows me incomplete records.
Still I'm 100% sure I could connect before : I did use connectbot to ssh onto my computer and setup new ssh keys.
I don't know what else I can try exept reboot the dsl box (which is the wifi router)... or delete the recorded stuff in that dsl box and that reference my arc s.
Or reflash all, but I always manage loosing stuff when I reflash (which I avoïd doing then), even with titanium backup
That's all really weird...
Side question : is there *always* a captcha verification on every post ?
Cheers

Which DNS server are you using? Did you change anything else by WiFi?
The captcha is only for limited amount of posts, then it will disappear.

I did not change any dns setting, but i saw local names in the terminal, so i must be using my dhcp/box dns.
You remind me i unchecked the wifi optomizations with the new kernel: i read this was causing arp issues on nexus devices...
Lets try to re-enable that... appart from this, i changed nothing after i flashed this kernel.
Except I tried 1.8ghz (it worked well), but this disappeared sincei restored the official rom krtnel
Thats really all i changed since i tried the new kernel yesterday evening

Can you believe this...
- Restoring the wifi optimisations did not help
- rebooting the DSL box helped. For 5 minutes.
I was able to ping a computer on the network, but not to go to the dsl box webserver. and I lost internet.
- subsequent dsl box reboots did not solve anything : no internet, no webserver, no connexion even on the wired PCs , powerd them on or off, nothing.
- *unplugging* everything + dsl box reboot => did restore internet+wifi on the arc
- replugging the PCs did not break
- and I can now see/ping the LAN with the arc s
Only remains, now, the dlink switch I have downtstairs that is the only stuff that remained plugged all time (theres a device on it, but it's off)..... It must have switched to a "netkill" state somehow. Funny, isn't it ?
let's now start wireshark, reinstall the new kernel, and see if there is any difference... and lastly reboot/replug the dlink switch
the come back for the (arp) ping of death ?
Regards

Last experiments:
- fired wireshark, to capture any network suspicious paquets
- reflashed the new kernel+modules
- retried ping / local LAN
Still working.
I rebooted my last network device (dlink switch), repluggued it : everything is still working.
conclusion : I don't understand :laugh:
Cheers

Pree configuring Wifi in android rom

hello mates
i am customizing a ROM for TV sticks and i need to pre configure (hardcoded) ssid and password for the wifi.
so that if i flashed another or same device with the rom it should take that same ssid and passwd in that network.
so what i did is i connected the device to a wifi network gave ssid and passwd and pull the /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf(which will conatain the network ssid and pass) using "adb shell"
now "forget" the wifi network and pushed the file using 'adb shell' as soon as i pushed and turn on the wifi it took the ssid and paswd and connected to the network .
but the problem occure when i reboot the device and tried to turn on the wifi it stucks in "Turning on wifi" and in advance settings the MAC is also unavailable.
its like some permission is preventing to start the wifi..
i have tried : rm wpa_supplicant.conf and push new wpa_supplicant.conf
/*###############################*/
this is my wpa_supplicant incase you need to see
ctrl_interface=wlan0
update_config=1
eapol_version=1

/*##############################################*/
ps:urgent help needed..

Hi there,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by

Solved it ...
hey i actually solved the problem...
The problem was when i was pushing the file it was not having particular permission..
the above problem can be solved by using 2 commands
after pushing the custome wpa_supplicant.conf file
those are
adb shell chown system:wifi /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
adb shell chmod 0644 /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

I did this. Now my fire stick still shows "Scanning for networks" after a ROM install / factory reset, but is actually connected to my network!? How do I skip into the home screen after a factory reset?
