Got it working: I first installed this updated, then I installed the update wifi_update-high.zip from polymod and then BT-fix from polymod.
And now it's working fine

Thank you so much for the information, i was wondering how to enable the wifi in mssmison's build even i update the wifi, it just can't scan the network after turning on the wifi, really hope this works! thank you so much for your sharing again!

You install "mssmison`s eclair v7", "polymod BT Update" and "wifi_update-high" and have working WiFi?

It really works!!!!

How to you enable scan for networks?

If you don't update poly's update file, then you just end it up with no scan for network, that's what happened to me when I first install mmsmison's v7 and the wifi update he provides. Now if you follow this way, you can enable the wifi: 1. install the v7; 2. update the wifi update provided by mmsmison; 3. install poly's bt update (I don't how this work for BT, but the files inside are wifi setting); 4. finally install poly's wifi power update (I follow the other guy and choose high power wifi). That works for me and should work for you. If you don't want to update so many times, you can copy and replace all the files in update.tar into install.tar in the same sequence so that you only need to install the build once without any update. That's how I did the last time. Hope this can solve your problem.

Could somebody please post the polymod bt-fix file? I have searched everywhere and it appears to be down - even on the poly site.

[Request] tun.ko for EVO kernel 2.6.29-a2443432

Hello experts.
I am attempting to get vpnc (for cisco vpn) working on the evo but have run into a snag getting the tun.ko module loaded. When I attempt to insmod tun.ko I get exec format error and dmesg yields
tun: version magic '2.6.32.9-27220-g328f560 preempt mod_unload ARMv7 ' should be '2.6.29-a2443432 preempt mod_unload ARMv7 '
I found an excellent post (#12) by sjakub at hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=630703&page=2
which describes step by step how to overcome this but unfortunately I have no access to linux in order to attempt this myself.
Would anyone be kind enough to compile the proper file for please?
Thanks very much.

Here you go

Dude I can't thank you enough! npace YOU RULE!!!
vpnc works flawlessly.

how did you get tun.ko copied to /system folder? and are you using that vpn client with a rsa token?

ahh nevermind i see you dont need to. this worked via manually and will try with the gui next.
edit: gui works

Has anyone had success with openvpn and this tun.ko module yet? I'm able to connect openvpn using the app "openvpn settings", but no routing happens over the tunnel. Any tips will be appreciated

Question.....
post deleted due to wrong forum

This module worked great for me up until Damage updated his rom to 3.2.3. I'm showing the kernel version as 2.6.29-789bf291. When i try the insmod tun.ko i get "insmod: init_module 'tun.ko' failed (Exec format error)". Can someone recompile the module for this rom to see if that resolves the issue?

did it work with the recompiled tun.ko?
i'm running the same DC 3.2.3, but the VPNC just crashes, and if i insmod the module, the phone just reboots when i try to connect to vpn.

I am running the "stock rooted 1.47.651.1" rom
when using the tun.ko from the earlier post i get the exec format error.. I assume because of a kernel mismatch.
when using the tun.ko from the later post it seems to work
my openvpn server sees the connection coming in
the server assigns an IP to the phone
the server receives the message PUSH_REQUEST
the server sends PUSH_REPLY,route 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0,route 10.8.0.1,topology net30,ping 10,ping-restart 120,ifconfig 10.8.0.14 10.8.0.13
and then my phone reboots..
any ideas? Is the phone not able to handle some of those options?
Thanks!

Same OVPN reboot with latest DC ROM
Getting the exact same thing on the latest DC ROM, latest radio & wimax. Happening over Wifi as well as 3G. Worked fine with Fresh 0.3 (before the OTA update release). Using the static openvpn binary from Fries.

I can confirm, I can insmod the latest tun.ko but openvpn reboots the phone when I attempt to connect. I'm using OMJ's latest (1.6) and I'm guessing some sort of kernel mismatch or custom kernel is causing the issue.

I think the problem might be this:
You are running the actual stock kernel from the latest OTA.
I compiled the module based on the unmodified HTC-released kernel source.
Turns out that actually have different version strings.
So I changed the version magic string to what someone here requested which is why the kernel loads but maybe the code is different.
So if none of these 2 work, you might have to root and use one of the custom kernels.
Might as well build it inside the kernel then instead of a module then.

hmm...i see your point.
what you're trying to say is that i should try to use a ROM based on the 1.32 release (for which we have the HTC released kernel), and based on which the first tun.ko in this thread is compiled?
LE: i flashed Fresh 0.5.3 ROM, and i tried VPNC again - still crashed.
I downloaded the first tun.ko from this thread, did insmod and tried again. good thing happened - app didn't crash anymore, but it fails to connect. i need to find the logs for it and see what happens, why does it fail.

I was able to get connected on fresh 0.5.3 with the first posted tun.ko (my issue was vpn config, why the hell are my net admins still using DES?)
/data/data/org.codeandroid.vpnc_frontend/files/lastConnection.log
was definitely useful in troubleshooting
There is an option in the vpnc menu that lets you put in command line strings (aka for me --enable-ides)

got it to work eventually - i used lolcat (logcat) to find the group password was not correct.
the way it works for me: reboot, insmod tun.ko, connect to VPN. if connection breaks or i disconnect, will not reconnect again unless i reboot and start over. weird thing.
too bad the developer is not that interested in supporting the app. if only there was a donate version, i would've been interested in paying to have it work properly.

Instead of rebooting you can cycle airplane mode which seems to cycle the net connections. Worked for me when of was working. Disconnect also does not work properly.
Frankly I won't be satisfied until Cisco vpn and for that matter LEAP wireless are supported in Android out of the box. I hope they understand how much this is hurting their business adoption. How can I recommend a phone without something that most platforms have supported for years? I am thankful for all the work the devs do here and elsewhere but if you realize that Google is simply getting a free ride its not that awesome for anyone.

i'll try that, and i agree with the support for LEAP and Cisco VPN. i had to jump through hoops to get the VPN working, as badly as it does now.... and i still WiFi at work
LE: thanks for the suggestion - airplane mode fixes the VPN without reboot.

I finally got openvpn working.
I did all of the following to get it to work:
ran openvpn installer
replaced /system/xbin/openvpn with newer version linked here
installed damagecontrol 3.2.3 and the new kernel
netarchy-toastmod-3.7.1-dc-compatible-signed.zip
symlinked /system/xbin/bb to /system/xbin
ran openvpn settings and under advanced told it to load tun.ko with insmod and /system/lib/modules/tun.ko
then turned on openvpn and clicked my config file..
i've confirmed that both end of the tunnel and talk to each other, and my route is pushed to my phone, allowing my phone to see other hosts via the vpn.

Ask for [have wifi but no 3g networks]..

Hi, as title. I can get almost everything work except 3g network(hspda).
I tried many version of radio rom. and now stay on newest which is 1.71.09.01.
with others, have extra problems.
is there other way to solve this problem?
I really want enable my 3g internet.. Orz

where do you live. what provider do you have

hi,
I still got the same problem.
I already posted in this thread
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=693820
but there was no solution so far
I tried different android images from donut to eclair. currently I run polymod 2.1g.
with both I got no mobile network while WLAN works fine.
I tried different radio-version - at the moment 1.71.09.01
I also tested 2 different SIM-Cards from two different providers.
1. Reseller from T-Mobile Germany
2. Reseller from Vodafone (also Germany)
I have not flashed my mobile - I run Android from SD

Make sure you have 3G enabled under windows mobile. If it's disabled, android will only use 2g networks.
Edit.
Wait i might have jumped the gun. Are you saying that you cannot use mobile internet at all or just 3G?
Maybe your provider/providers data under Access Point names is incorrect?

Hi. I live in Taiwan. and go with Taiwan Cellur.
I have 3G enabled under WM, and I use the method as "NoMoRootFS Instructions for NAND".
I use [Myn’s Warm Donut RL5] with 1.7.1 NBH
You said APN. when I click APN , nothing shows up.

yes, I cannot use mobile internet at all. it does not show the available speed in the titlebar (H/3G/...) and it does not connect to mobile internet. browser just says it has no connection.
with wifi enabled everything is fine.
but maybe I have jumped the gun in claiming that I got the same problem than the thread owner... but I thought he has no mobile internet at all, too?
@hitakeane
with donut/1.6 I also had no APN-Entries in the menu and even the provider-list was empty. but with 2.1 this is working.
but mobile internet is not working for me with none of the constellations.
- not with donut and manual APN
- not with eclair and predefined APN
- not with eclair and manual APN
what I was thinking about this morning is: my phone had a netlock for D1. but I entered the official unlock-code from my provider (the phone is older than two years). But could it be that there is any lock left crashing the party?

Go to Access point name in settings invoke the settings menu and press add new access point. You should find all the required data on your gsm provider network.

Haven't tried until now. But it's running on my Kaiser now. But mobile internet is not working for me.
I really like to know what this is. Can't be that tricky when it is working for most of the people except for me and few others. Hm...
I asked google many times for the correct apn-setting. But I always end up with the same 2 settings that I have tried both.

I think that in a andboot folder you should have boot log file(or something like that) Look for errors in this file and post them here maybe someone will be able to help you. Also I remember reading somewhere a while ago that it's best to have one of newer winmo roms( 6.5, 6.5.1, 6.5.3, 6.5.5) when running android using haret.

I have seen a HTC Desire from a colleague this morning (also Android 2.1). Right above the submenu "Mobile Networks", where I can configure APNs and so on, he has a checkbox to enable/disable mobile network at all. This checkbox is missing for me. Should it be there?

what I don't understand: what has WinMo to do with Android. Ok, it is installed in NAND, but I thought it is not running either?

hi I had a problem simular to this took me days to figure out a temp fix, if your running haret/win mob rather than nand, if you connect to the internet/3g before you start haret, it sometimes picks up 3g ok.

you think it could be that the problem is gone when I flash Android to nand?
so the only thing preventing me from flashing is the not working mobile internet. if that was working I would make android my every day operating system for the next time.
maybe i'll give flashing a try later if this solves the problem.
the only thing I'm not sure about is if I understood it right how to come back to my shipped rom.
I got the update from 6.0 to 6.1 from T-Mobile (mda-vario.exe), I started that one and copied all the files from Windows-Temp-folder to an other place. In this folder there is a RUU_signed.nbh, is this a full rom I can flash to go back to WM 6.1?
To get me right - I'm not asking how to do this - I just want to know if this file should be a full image that I can use as backup or if this is just an update-file.
I think it is always a full image, right?
(can't find german t-mobile rom in wiki - so I hope I can use this)

hi, I set APN and it works.
though it's quite unstable.
any ideas to improve it? thanks all.

another question.
I remembered I saw at somewhere about low disk space.
I installed some software and ran out of disk,yet I have a 16G micro sd.
how should I do with this? thanks.
I'll keep on searching.

Well I'm just repeating what I've heard. Since you run android using HAret from WINMO then the version of Winmo might have something to do with your problem.
But yeah go ahead and try NAND it might solve the issue.

The rom files you copied may be just an update, however since it was a 6.0 to 6.1 upgrade I expect it'll be a full stock rom, one way to tell would be to place the NBH file on SD card, rename to KAISimg.nbh, enter bootloader, ( power+camera), and look at what it says it will update, a full update will include OS, RADIO, SPL and possibly SPLASH.
You do not need to continue the update, just pull the battery, or press dpad, it will cancel the flash, don't press the power button tho, because then it will flash it
Another rough guide would be file size, a full 6.1 rom is around 100MB or so.
If you choose to go Nand, remember to unlock your SIM pin before flashing, also make certain you have installed HardSPL, just in case

ok, I was hoping for an answer like 'you stupid noob, there are no update-roms, every rom is a full rom'
That would have made it much easier
But your answer was nearly as helpful, thank you zenity.
- filesize is 99MB (seems to be fine)
- it says it will update RADIO_V2, BOOTLOADER, SPLASH1, OS (should be all)
- in wiki the download-link for NL t-mobile-rom goes to the t-mobile-site. So I interpret the NL-rom to be a full one. So german could be a full one, too
To be sure I dumped my own device so I can try to reconstruct this to a nbh-file if the other rom won't work
- HardSPL is already installed (I flashed some radios before)
- SIM pin is already unlocked, too (didn't work with PIN for Haret so I had to unlock)
That's enough backing for me - otherwise I got a good reason to buy a new device
Thanks to all helping me up to this point.
I'll give NAND a try later this day and post some feedback.

ok, flashed it yesterday and mobile network works like a charm.
only thing is, menu item "Mobile Network" is still missing so I can't disable mobile network. but by using a widget for home screen I can en-/disable mobile network (without changing apn)
flashing was really easy - thanks to all doing such a great job in bringing Android to Kaiser.
Also thanks to all helping me in this thread.

1) do not overclock
2) do not tamper with the phone immediately after boot, leave it alone for a while (30 secs, 1 min)
3) do not fill the desktop with widgets, they eat lots of resources
If none of these works, while still NOT overclocking, delete data.img file inside andboot folder and start from scratch.
Cheers.

Pretty strange, since I have a Sprint TP2 and Wifi works perfectly.
You might want to start by renaming your data.img to something else to back it up, and then starting up. If after you boot Wifi works, then you know something is messed up in your data.img. Otherwise, you know it's something else and you don't need to wipe out your data.img.

Wifi can also easily get bungled if you update your kernel and don't update your modules file.
The kernel (zImage) and modules (modules-xxxx.tar.gz) go hand-in-hand, and they MUST be updated together.

1. Formatted SD Card with HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool
2. Deleted exchange inbox folder in SD Card (I have no idea why the formatting does not wipe it clean)
3. copied ProjectAndroid2.2Froyo.112210.cab to root of SD Card
4. Ran cab from explorer
Ran ProjectAndroid from WM

I hard booted my TP2 to factory settings, used the .rar files instead of the .cab...
getting the same message "Unable to scan for networks".
Yes, I am getting the same error when I try to turn on wifi in settings.
The instructions in xda is a bit misleading for .rar
The steps say
1. Unzip
2. Copy contents of .Rar to the ROOT of your SD card
When you unzip, the content is in folder "XDAndroid2.2Froyo.112210" sub-folder "XDAndroid2.2Froyo.XXxxXX"
The instruction should say, "Copy contents of "XDAndroid2.2Froyo.XXxxXX" to the root of SD card.
Please correct me if I am wrong. In any case, my wifi still does not work.

Have you tried updating manually? Also, you should get an 'andboot' folder if you go into that XXxxXX folder.
I also found a mistake with Reef's build... I asked him to update it. Basically he's not using a signed FRX03 image... I sent him a new bundle, doesn't look like he's updated it yet tho...
What I'd recommend in the meantime is to update this build manually. Download a new system.ext2, new kernel (zImage/modules - they go together!) and rootfs.
You can find all of those updates at http://xdandroid.com/wiki/Main_Page

Downloaded the latest files individually. Updated the build manually by replacing the system.ext2, zImage/modules and rootfs. Modified the startup.txt to force cdma, keyboard to rhod400 and clock speed to 540672... getting the same error "Unable to scan for networks" error.

Edit: sorry. just saw you gave that info. I have never tried that N american dialer. not sure what it does. do you still get the same error when you try to turn on wifi in settings?

[GUIDE] Iconia A100 ROOT and AD-HOC wi-fi enabled

Hi everybody. I've bought my A100 one month ago and i've rooted and added ad-hoc patch for it in order to have internet through wm cellphone.
i've rooted with this guide
androidforums.com/iconia-tab-a100-all-things-root/401598-rooting-a100.html
and added ad-hoc with this one:
batista70phone.com/2011/05/supporto-per-reti-ad-hoc-su-acer-iconia-a500/ (is in italian, if you need english tell me, I can translate it)
To avoid problems open the page from the tablet and copy/paste the commands, and remeber to SWITCH OFF WIFI AS SOON AS POSSIBLE before playing with the wifi files!!
I've also added to my winmo phone ( diamond ) WMWifiRouter in orde to share the connection from 3g on the phone to wi-fi on the tablet.
Everything works. You have only to start WMWiFiRouter on diamond or other wm6 device and than looking in the wifi list on tablet for the wireless just created ( Office Lan....etc ).
For convenience activate on cellphone "wifi always on" also if "display is off" trough Diamond Tweaks.
I hope this can be useful for someone else ;-)

English guide for enabling ad-hoc
I would greatly appreciate it if you would translate the guide for enabling ad-hoc capabilities for the a100. I can't seem to find a guide anywhere else and, alas, I don't speak Italian. Thank you so much!

I used this site to translate it to English.

It pointed back to an XDA thread that pointed back to this post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033314
It should be enough to get you going.

still having problems with ad hoc access
i followed the instructions to root the tablet. this worked fine. i then followed instructions to replace the wpa_supplicant file with the one found on this forum for the motorola xoom that is meant to give ad hoc capabilities. i know the file replaced fine as the way the a100 behaves with regards wireless has changed. before there seemed to be a bug that it would always turn off the wireless when the screen went off no matter what the wireless behavior settings were. now it never turns off wireless even if the screen goes off.
if i set up a wireless network from my laptop using the intel My Wifi software if connects fine with WPA, it did this out the box. however if i set up an ad hoc netork on my laptop it will not connect correctly.
1. If I use WPA it just keeps saying connecing ---disconncted repeatedly
2. If I use WEP or no encryption it gets to the point of obtaining an ip address but never gets any further.
I have only tried with DHCP
Also with the ad hoc network it seems to make multiple networks in the wireless networks on the tab.
I was hoping someone could give me some specific help on this and maybe some up to date advice on the usbb host issue.
Thanks in advance.

thanks for your help yes it seems i am the only one who is still having problems! i am working on a ship now and maybe the server here is causing issues. i will be home tomorrow and can try then.
when you set up your ad hoc in windows do you select WPA or WEP, funny I thought ad hoc only had WEP security. why does w7 offer WPA on ad hoc?
thanks andy

thanks I tested at home. Still can't connect with adhoc on my laptop with wep wpa or no authentication but works fine on my huwei e585 which is a bit of a mystery I will try and fine another laptop to test it with.....thanks for your support though.......do you know any solution to the USB host issue on the a100?

hi there is another issue with the a100 i was hoping to solve. you cannot mount a usb device like a thumb drive on it. the a500 had a standard pc type usb port and you could mount a usb drive on it. although you can get a mini usb male to ubs female 'usb on the go' cable apparently it wont work on the a100. i have seen some feedback regarding this on blogs but no solutions. any ideas? Andy

ad hoc again
hi again...have juts discovered that my huwei e585 modem actually provides infrastructure not ad hoc which is why my a100 tablet works with it. i think i still have a problem with ad hoc on my a100. i went through the process of getting the new wpa_supplicant file in /system/bin and i checked it has the same permisions as the original file but still no luck...can anyone help? I still cant connect my a100 to an ad hoc network provided by my laptop.

yes, i used root explorer to copy the wpa_supplicant and I made sure I had the airplane mode on and wireless off when I did it.I just tried the whole process again and the same result. my a100 has android 3.2. I also made sure the permissions are exactly the same as the original file.

Hello. I am an Android newb. I have been trying to correct this issue for over a week to no avail. Please advice.
I've tried rooting my A100 by inputting (copy/paste) the proper commands on the a100 itself in a terminal emulator, but have had no success. The commands cause no obvious response when entered into the terminal, but when I checked xbin for su, it's there. I've installed the superuser apk, but busybox install fails due to lack of root. Repeating the process doesn't change anything.
I've also tried rooting via the ADB method. The results are the same. su is in xbin folder; however, I cannot install busybox because I am not rooted.
The last bit of info I can provide about my situation is this. I have root checker installed on my A100. I do not get the same result each time I click "verify root". Sometimes it tells me that I'm rooted and sometimes it tells me that I'm not rooted????
Please let me know if I can provide any additional information. I need some help please.

These are the same commands that I have previously entered via terminal emulator and I tried again via ADB method. I have tried multiple times.
I'm not sure what you mean by "You must have to copy moded su to your sd card , /mnt/sdcard". Are you referring to the su file in my xbin folder? If so, I cannot copy it because I am not rooted. Every time I execute the aforementioned commands, the su file in my xbin folder gets modified. The size of the su file in my xbin folder is 0.00K, is this normal?
Thanks for responding, please offer further guidance if you can.

hi i am no expert but i got the root to work fine with these instructions. as long as you copied the new su file to your xbin folder the third command on the list should take care of everything.
then you have to do the busybox and super user thing
Step 6: Install BusyBox from the Market
Step 7: Install SuperUser from the market, this is the APK version this time. This is going to update the SU file and install the SuperUser app.

thanks i got it now

I tried the opening poster's ad-hoc fix on my iconia a100 ICS leak, and it worked great. This is where the instructions are (in italian, but translated by google, it was understandable) Now I can get wifi from my jailbroken iphone 3gs with mywi app.

I did notice that the status bar icon that shows wifi doesn't seem to be showing signal strength properly.

Anyone have another supplicant file I could try? After the latest upgrade OTA, I can't connect to my iPhone's ad-hoc anymore.
