Not sure if anyone got so far, to getting the honeycomb showing connection and selectable APN in settings?
anyways,
from my port of honeycomb to folio100, and now experiments with a500.. i got huawei dongle's running using the builtin functions.
you will need to have root'd your device. and this might break a system-update, if any of my files are updated during next OTA..
but back to the working 3G.
Working 3G USB dongles:
Do note, your modem version can be seen on its white label written with very small text.
some modems require zerocd (linuxtool) or commands executed in windows to disable the mass storage part of it. (search google for the commands)

Download View attachment 3g-usb-stock1.zip for 3.0.1 stock release Acer_A500_1.141.01_EMEA_GEN3: (vermagic=2.6.36.3 SMP preempt mod_unload ARMv7)
Download View attachment 3g-acer31stock-usb.zip for 3.1 stock release Acer_A500_3.019.01_COM_GEN1 (vermagic=2.6.36.3-00005-g5dff38c SMP preempt mod_unload ARMv7)
HOWTO:
- first: Backup your /system/build.prop on the tablet , just copy the file to a safe place, as its important if you wish to do a online update later on.
- updated zip, so you can now install the zip as an "update" using ClockWorkMod/CWM if you got this installed.
- download the "system.zip" attached to this post.
- unpack all files to a temporary folder ie. C:\myfiles
- assuming you got adb running
* push files to your tablet with;
adb shell mkdir /data/local/temp
adb push C:\myfiles\system /data/local/temp/
* next run
adb shell
* then run all commands below in the shell
su -
mount -orw,remount /system (i forgot this line, ITS IMPORTANT)
cp -a /data/local/temp/* /system/
chmod 4755 /system/bin/pppd
chmod 4755 /system/bin/rild
chmod 755 /system/bin/rild.run
chmod -R 755 /system/etc/ppp
If you done these steps correctly, and you reboot.
you will now have a working 3G option in Settings -> wireless networks
so you can configure your APN now and connect to your 3G network.
and you got it all automated with honeycomb 3g! no terminal needed to start 3G!
HINTS
- Other reports are to remember to "Disable PIN" on the card.. I have no personal experience on this part, but check up on it, if its not working perfectly, or no data, but network is ok.
- I got reports back about enabling roaming to make it work, and also remember the story from Folio100 with 3G dongles..
so if you cannot get data connection at all, try to enable roaming and see if APN does not appear which matches your isp. maybe read you ISP website to confirm it.
- If you happen to remove the dongle, there is a solution (using as example gscript) to restart the ril daemon.
in a shell you can restart the ril-daemon if you reinsert the 3g usb dongle.
do it like this in the shell:
su -
stop ril-daemon
start ril-daemon

write atz and press enter, modem should answer ok
write ati and press enter, modem should give name, type, etc
write AT^U2DIAG=0 and press enter, zero cd is now disabled
You need also put sim card from modem to any phone and disable pin checking.

it would probably work, if you got the huawei dongles..
the major is if you need different kernel modules.. those are in the other thread if needed, i included those without -gxXXXX version info.. as thats the ones for the latest EU model update and works here.
Thanks Dexter. One question. Can these files be pushed using terminal emulator instead?
Sent from my A500 using Tapatalk
Yes,
this can of course be done in a terminal, if needed.
just forget the part with "adb",
but all the commands should be executed, and the files copied to a sdcard temporily and copy from that location to the /system
Dexter thanks. What Huawei modem do you recommend?

Correct, that is also mentioned in post #1.
custom build.prop can be made if the lines at the bottom are copied to your own version you got with a simple one-liner in a shell.
echo "picasso.3g=true
rild.libpath=/system/lib/libhuawei-ril.so
rild.libargs=-d /dev/ttyUSB2
ro.pad.features.modem=true " >>/system/build.prop
so it works on any new build.prop change..

no no, i dont talk CWM.. i use the builtin tegra recovery for the additional functions.. the recovery is very close to CWM, but uses the old htc way, and do have specific write command for writing images..

I know im probably not doing something right, i followed the steps, and when i tap mobile networks it force closes?

The HTC Stocks app has the best widget of all other currency apps, so I was using it on my 1.5 Hero for displaying the EURO/GBP (EURGBP=X) rate.
After the 2.1 rom update I have a strange problem. When I try to add a new ticker for "eurgbp=x", I get the error message: "Unable to recognize the company name or stock symbol you typed. Please try again." However, this worked in the past like a charm. I have to note that adding "gbp=x" or "usd=x" works fine, with no problem at all.
Maybe this problem is related to an updated version of the Stocks app in the new rom. Is anyone experiencing the same problem? I haven't found a similar thread for a Sense Android phone. The same problem exists in the latest rom of HD2, but people have figured a work-around, by changing a file under "Application Data\HTC\", but this file doesn't exist on Android.
Any help would be more than welcome!
I experience the same problem (although I'm on VillainRom12). Previously adding currencies (EURUSD=X etc) was working, but right now I am unable to find it. This could be HTC problem as it was working fine on 1.5, but this could be also some Yahoo search glitch (I am unable to search for that quotes on mobile version of the Yahoo Finance page, while the desktop version works fine). The only workaround to that was to edit manually SQLite database of Stocks application (but this may require root - I can provide details if necessary). Once I added appropriate entries to the list of stocks, it seems to be working fine (it is displaying my currencies, but the search still does not work).
One other deficiency I found was the fact that graphs are not cached anymore - If I open the application and check for example a daily graph, I need to update it in order to see any chart - each time, even if I switch from 1D to 5D and back. It is also automatically updated each time I visit given tab, if I enable the automatic updates. Previously this app displayed previously cached graph. I'm not sure whether this happens also on stock 2.1 ROM.
Now that you mention it, I have the same problem with the graphs in the 2.1, too. It worked (showed the cashed graph) in the 1.5, but not any more. Blank graph until it updates.
Can you provide me some guidance about how to edit the Stocks' database? At least a link to something similar would be much appreciated. Can I access the phone's system folder without rooting it, through my PC (Win, Linux, whatever)?

I'm new in the business, so I'm not sure if the root is necessary. You can try it, anyway to see if you will be able to push and pull files from the directory where Stocks stores its database.
Here's what I did:
Enable USB Debugging in Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging
Download Android SDK from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
In command line go to subdirectory tools of Android SDK
Close Stocks app and remove Stocks widget from the screen
Connect Phone via USB
... (Beginning of the optional part) ...
Go to Android shell
Code:
adb shell
List any processes to see if there's a com.htc.android.Stock process (like in this case)...
Code:
ps | grep Stock
7605 10007 130m S com.htc.android.Stock
7619 0 2156 S grep Stock
Kill any Stock processes (using the value in the first column):
Code:
kill 7605
Exit to command line
Code:
exit
... (End of the optional part) ...
Pull the Stock database:
Code:
adb pull /data/data/com.htc.dcs.service.stock/databases/stock.db stock.db
Sample output:
Code:
d:\Projects\Android\tools>adb pull /data/data/com.htc.dcs.service.stock/databases/stock.db stock.db
568 KB/s (5120 bytes in 0.008s)

See if that worked
I hope HTC (or Yahoo) will be able to fix that, because the above is really a long process...
Anyway, I can't make it work. Entering "ps | grep Stock" gives me a "grep: permission denied" error message. I did some searching and I believe this is what people mean by saying "you need root access", right? I'll come back when I'm rooted (i.e. when I find a decent guide for rooting 2.1).
Thanks for your time & effort man. I really appreciate it.

You can try to omit the "optional" part (steps 6-9) - the ps thing was just to make sure that Stock isn't running. But I noticed anyway that it never ran in the background when I closed it on the phone. Try to adb pull and adb push and see if you'll get any permission issues. If you do, then you indeed need a root (sorry I can't check that as I'm rooted)
A couple of days ago I updated the ROM of my HTC TD2, with the most recent one of HTC (WM6.5, Sense 2.5.20113030.0). Afterwards I noticed that I also could not get the stock app to accept the code EURUSD=X.
You mention the following
The same problem exists in the latest rom of HD2, but people have figured a work-around, by changing a file under "Application Data\HTC\", but this file doesn't exist on Android.

Thank you for the link (which I am not allowed to repost ).
Last Monday I wrote an e-mail to HTC about this problem and a couple of days later I got a reply. They told me they tried to search for the currency rate (eurusd) and that they got a result. So I tried again and lo and behold I got a result as well. Searching for eurusd=x gave me a result while last weekend it was not working.
So I tried several other currency rates and they all rendered a result, also eurgbp=x. Perhaps it is also fixed for the Android app.
[Extra information added below]
Tried again and nothing
I was connected with a data connection to my carrier, so I switched to my wifi connection. Tried again and... result.
So it seems to be a difference in communication between an ordinary data connection and a wifi connection. Maybe this will help someone
Wird problem. I tried it too on both UK and Greek carriers and on WiFi, but nothing. No result for either of them: "eurgbp=x", "eurgbp", "eurusd=x", "eurusd". I have been trying occasioanly more than one month now.
I think I should drop them an email too...
Why don't you do a soft (temporary) root and make the database entries as described in here? I did it and now I got all the stuff I need, and no trace of root on the device.

just download cross breeder installer
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2086051&d=1372770386
crossbreeder uninstaller
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2086052&d=1372770386
copy them to the sdcard
go cwm wipe cache/dalvik cache install from sdcard-select the CrossBreeder_7.2.13.zip and flash it
reboot device
open the terminal emulator and type and check the codes given on the page
1. VALIDATION and TROUBLESHOOTING:
You can check your DNS boost functionality by running the following command:
Code:
getprop net.dns1
It should report 0.0.0.0
Then to verify Adblock you can select any one host from the blocked hosts file using the command:
Code:
tail /etc/CrossBreeder/dnrd_root/master
Pick one from there and browse to it in your browser. You should get a blank space
If you're experiencing any issues with your tethering, then you can first try and disable the tethering using:
Code:
su -c /system/etc/CrossBreeder/REMOVE_TETHER_BOOST
and rebooting.
You can re-enable it with:
Code:
su -c /system/etc/CrossBreeder/INSTALL_TETHER_BOOST
and rebooting.
Similarly if you're getting any issues with browser not reaching pages etc. then you can try and disable the entire DNS speedup functionality using:
Code:
su -c /system/etc/CrossBreeder/REMOVE_DNS_CLIENT
and rebooting.
You can re-enable it with:
Code:
su -c /system/etc/CrossBreeder/INSTALL_DNS_CLIENT
and rebooting.
Also of note is the Adblock feature. CrossBreeder now uses it's own Adblock file in /etc/CrossBreeder/dnrd_root/master ( NOTE - CHANGED FROM PREVIOUS VERSION). It also serves up these blocks in a clean blank format so you don't get an ugly 'Page not found' error instead of every ad. This is quite unique. If you want to disable Adblock to save around 3 MB of RAM on low end devices, you can run the command:
Code:
su -c /system/etc/CrossBreeder/DISABLE_ADBLOCK
You can re-enable it with:
Code:
su -c /system/etc/CrossBreeder/ENABLE_ADBLOCK
The biggest improvements are in general usability of apps, both local and network based.
2. You can check your entropy values with this tool:
http://play.google.com/store/apps/de...ndentropyavail
or use this method for more fine grained graphs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=38509664
You should get values moving to 4000 regularly with this mod.
Also of some use is this Lag Test app: Lag Test http://db.tt/eBHYJWYn ( Thanks MW86 ). This is for generally testing the CPU based GUI rendering functionality. The aim is to approach 60 fps, but there isn't a guaranteed correlation with CrossBreeder and your FPS result as of now. It is mostly related to your Governor but CrossBreeder certainly helps.
2. If for some reason, your entropy values aren't hovering around 4096 then the app most probably didn't start automatically. You can try and run it manually using:
Code:
su -c "/system/etc/CrossBreeder/zzCrossBreeder FORCE"
If the entropy values go up to around 4096 and stay there, it's working. CrossBreeder is now in it's separate directory and not dependent on your init.d support. You can make it run automatically on boot using an app like SManager from the Play store, just remember to check both 'BOOT' and 'ROOT' for the execution.
3. If you're still getting issues, you can run the collection script:
Code:
su -c /system/etc/CrossBreeder/CHECK_PROCS
(if it hangs you can close the window and run it again) and post the resultant /data/cb_CHECK_PROCS.log file here in this thread or anywhere else and post here pointing to it please. I will try to find a solution or post a bugfix soon.
You can also disable CrossBreeder if you have any problems using:
Code:
su -c /system/etc/CrossBreeder/DISABLE_CROSSBREEDER
4. If you tried (2) and (3) above and it still doesn't work for you or you would still like to uninstall the mod, then please flash the CrossBreeder_Uninstall.zip.

Thank you I understand this
Hi guys,
i've started a general Q&A thread for n4 and others. Everything related to sailfish and of course n4 can be posted here.
1. Which HW components are working?
A: take a look at the spreadsheet libhybris: https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/libhybris
2. Can I run my android apps?
A: atm = no. due to licensing issues the dalvik runtime is not included in android ports. Join community efforts in this XDA thread. The jolla phone run android apps.
3. What about playing videos and music
A: new ports with gstreamer1.0 (Nexus 5) play MP3, MP4, H264 out-of-the-box.
Install gstreamer1.0-libav for more codecs.
For old gst0.10 ports:
MP3: install gst-fluendo-mp3-0.10.23-1.armv7hl.rpm via rpm -i fluendo
Video: Install gst streamer plugins and ultimate codec support. detailed instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53552092&postcount=424
4. I'm able to install apps?
A: On Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 yes, soon on other devices too, always use Jolla Store for tested quality apps! Not there might still be scalability/stability issues on ported = non-official Sailfish OS devices.
As alternative and if you want to try many but NOT QUALITY-TESTED/POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS apps you can try Warehouse (openrepos.net):
* Navigate via your phone's browser to https://openrepos.net/content/basil/warehouse-sailfishos
* Download latest RPM
* In Terminal type `devel-su zypper in Downloads/harbour-warehouse*.rpm` and install
If you have Jolla Store also working on your ported device, you can install that app via UI instead of terminal:
* Ensure you have download at least one app from Jolla Store beforehand (which triggers `pkcon refresh`)
* Ensure Settings->System->Untrusted software is allowed
* Go to Settings->System->Transfers, click on downloaded file, and it will be installed
5. whatsapp?
A: Beware of WhatsApp temporary banning 3rd party app users. You can try WhatsUp: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60264278&postcount=137
Next Mitäkuuluu version is rumoured to be unbannable, lets all wayt
6. How to access the device?
A: Via ssh or sftp. Take a look on @Daycrawler thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/jolla-sailfish/general/sailfish-android-devices-release-t2696409. He released the ea mail where everything is described.
7. How to install sailfish on my Android device ?
A: You will be able to install when an image is available. Check "Downloadable Image" column in https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/libhybris .
Porting Sailfish OS by yourself is possible via following the HADK: https://sailfishos.org/hadk
For Nokia N9: http://wiki.maemo.org/Sailfish#Sailfish_Images
9. What about multirom?
A: MultiROM is supported on Nexus 4, Nexus 5, and OnePlus One (possibly Nexus 7 too)
10. Why I have to flash so much to get sailfish on my device?
mmmmmhhhh. Answer question by yourself and try
E.g. for Nexus 4 please do all steps you'll find in: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/development/rom-sailfish-os-community-port-t2969823 . It's necessary to have the right baseband / modem firmware. Maybe wifi won't work if you haven't.
11. How to take a screenshot?
A1: Install screenshot app by lbt, from Jolla Store.
A2: do `zypper in lipstick-qt5-tools lipstick-qt5-tools-ui` - iconless Screenshot app will be among the App Grid
A3: This can be done on the phone via terminal and also on a remote SSH PC client.
grabscreen /home/nemo/Pictures/Test.png
If you need a times then use the 'sleep' command. e.g. below is a timer for 5 seconds.
sleep 5 && grabscreen /home/nemo/Pictures/Test.png
The picture can be accessed in the Gallery or via a file manager (question #17 below).
12. How to get files from/to device, if USB Mass Storage mode or SD card are not available ?
A1: ssh + scp combo (windows[putty] & linux)
This combo is a set of linux standard tools. You can connect to the phone via secure socket shell from your pc and transfer files to your phone and vice versa.
A2: sftp + filezilla (windows & linux)
You can access the files via filezilla. You can transfer files like you're doing with an ftp server.
A3: Gnome Desktop Environment
The gnome filemanager nautilus has an build in option for accessing sftp / ssh servers or devices easily.
A4: WinSCP (windows)
To connect via these methods, enable developer mode, set a new password and take a look what ip you've get. Behind the wlan symbol. Then choose one of the above methods:
username = nemo
password = the one you entered in developer mode section
[ssh]= ssh [email protected]_ip
[filezilla] = sftp://device_ip
[nautilus] = select: Connect to server (on the left side) and enter: ssh://device_ip
13. How can I use the Backup app when there's no (working) SD Card?
A: Launch Settings->System->Backup to save all the settings you want to preserve
Perform
Code:
tar cf $HOME/backup.tar -C $HOME .vault
scp backup.tar onto your PC (other ways of how pull files, see FAQ #12 above)
Install new Sailfish OS.zip, put the tarball back onto device (say at $HOME), then perform:
HTML:
cd $HOME && tar xpf backup.tar
Go to Settings->System->Backup and restore your content from a chosen backup
14. How can I provide another radio.img only for Sailfish OS?
Put radio.img onto Sailfish OS rootfs somewhere safe.
Edit /lib/systemd/system/firmware.mount and replace "What=/dev/mmcblk0p1" with "What=/path/to/firmware.img"
Be careful with that and always do backup (i.e. comment the first What out )
15. How can I skip tutorial?
On first screen, tap on corners in sequence: top-left, top-right, bottom-right, bottom-left
16. How can I mount android's virtual sdcard partition (Nexus4,5) with all my goodies?
Try:
Code:
devel-su
mkdir /android
mount /dev/mmcblk0p28 /android
# virtual sdcard content is then available in /android/media/0/
# enable nemo user to read/write the contents (use file manager for those):
usermod -aG media_rw nemo
# And for media to be tracked:
ln -s /android/media/0/DCIM /home/nemo/Pictures/Android
ln -s /android/media/0/Music /home/nemo/Music/Android
ln -s /android/media/0/Movies /home/nemo/Videos/Android
# To make this permanent, update your /etc/fstab file by adding the following line at the end:
/dev/mmcblk0p28 /android ext4 rw,relatime,data 0 0
17. Filemanager?
Install File Browser by Kari from Jolla Store.
For root access add on https://openrepos.net/content/schturman/startasroot-file-browser (See question #4 on how to access openrepos via Warehouse app)
18. OTA?
Over-the-air updates are not straightforwardly supported (it's possible to hack around via ssu release 1.x.y.z and version --dup commands but not been tested and breakages might happen).
Just do backup and restore via a backed up file (question #13), and reflash new .zip (which will overwrite the whole Sailfish OS partition), then restore backup
--
This thread should be a collection for sailfish on devices and I will update frequently if news or tipps & tricks are available.

Sorry if I'm asking in a wrong thread.but this information was missing from QA.
Are there any information about android apps running in ART instead of Dalvik on Nexus4, or even on Jolla?

Hi guys,
No. Please do all steps you'll find in the ea mail. It's necessary to have the right baseband / modem firmware. Maybe wifi won't work if you haven't. You will get this by flashing the google factory image:
https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/occam-jdq39-factory-345dc199.tgz
After this you have to flash a clean base. That's why you have to flash cm_10.1.3: http://get.cm/get/aWH
Now you've done the preperations and can flash sailfish.

Its not important to flash the factory image for the Nexus 4. All you need to do is flash the Radio from the 4.2.2. which can be available as a flashable zip for TWRP Recovery. The radio is called 0.48 availabe in one of the xda threads.
Thats what I did flashed this zip after I flashed CM 10.1.3 and EA2 worked as a charm. For reference my Nexus 4 was already on 4.4.3

you're right. You have the choice. The important part is the right baseband / radio. But to keep it user friendly reading and simple I only described this way.

If you have a file manger, like cargo dock, look for your file in download folder, simply click on it and you're done.
First be sure to have enabled, in settings,->system->untrusted software, otherwise you won't be able to install.

ArchLinuxARM for the flo (2013 Nexus 7) - Native Boot with MultiROM
This is only tested on the Wi-Fi version. With a kernel swap, it should work on the deb (LTE) tablet, though mobile data is highly unlikely to work.
Big thanks to crondog at github for the initial porting work. https://github.com/crondog/arch-flo
Working:
3D Acceleration (OpenGL ES 3.0, Mesa) - can be unstable, however.
Wi-Fi (with NetworkManager)
Bluetooth
Audio
Installation
MultiROM must already be installed, and you must already have a hardboot-capable kernel installed as well.
You will need a Terminal Emulator or ADB Shell to install.
This assumes that arch_flo_20141210_multirom.tar.gz is in the root of your internal storage (/data/media/0).
Code:
su
tar -C /data/media/0/multirom/roms -xpzvf /data/media/0/arch_flo_20141210_multirom.tar.gz
Logging in
The username is "arch" and the password is "archlinux". Change the password ASAP.
For root, the username is "root" and the password is also "root". CHANGE THE PASSWORD ASAP!
You'll probably want to enable the On-Screen Keyboard (onboard) and set your Session to "MATE" up in the top right corner.

if I activate the onboard keyboard ist shows at the bottom of the login screen. login works without password. when beeing logged in the keyboard is gone. I can see the keyboard symbol on the left besinde the speaker symbol but tapping on it doesn't trigger anything. also changing any options in the control center -> onboard settings have no effects. logging in without keyboard activated and then control center -> onboard settings has no effects either.
I cannot "adb shell" due to lack of permissions
Code:
# adb devices
List of devices attached
???????????? no permissions
and I'm not owning a bluetooth keyboard. so right now I can only play minesweeper - oh wait, it's not installed...

Yeah it is in the monitor options but it's worthless since Xorg crashes when changing the rotation
Great stuff!
I would remove the KDE plasma etc packages as that desktop seemed to unusable. (Due to broken hw acceleration?).

Hi, I'm having a big trouble...
While I'm trying to do the installation (by adb shell or terminal emulator, both of them) and I enter the command posted in the OP it says:

updates
Hi, great stuff!
After installing it, I tried to update arch (
Code:
sudo pacman -Syu
) but this resulted in a blank screen upon boot. I assume that this is due to updated packages overwriting parts of the OS that were installed manually, but I don't know what or where. Would you have any ideas of what packages would be responsible for this, so that I know not to upgrade them?
Thanks!

Make sure you ignore xorg and mesa stuff. Add
Code:
IgnorePkg = glu mesa mesa-dri mesa-libgl xorg-server-common xorg-server-devel xorg-fonts-misc xproto libdrm
IgnoreGroup = xorg
to /etc/pacman.conf.
The list probably contains some extra entries, but works for me
It took xda 2 years, but they finally did it.
In all seriousness, props to you. I've been waiting for this for along time.

Hi castrwilliam, would you mind sharing what step you went through to create arch_flo_20141210_multirom.tar.gz ?
Great work guys! I was looking for this for a really long time and i am writing this on my n7 with linux but i have a few questions:
1. is it possible to overclock(and how) because my n7 runs on 1.89ghz and 477mhz gpu in android with elementalx kernel and it would be nice to have some more power
2. can the screen be rotated so the hardware buttons are on top (i saw a post saying it chrashes but i cant even find the setting xD) because it would be alot easier to use the OTG cable
And thank you guys for making this happen, i love linux on the note 10.1 and im so glad to have this run it too(would be maaad if it can be overclocked )
Thank you for this wonderful package!
I recently updated all packages ) and iam trying to fix the issue without reinstall (challenge accepted)
It seems that the xorg-server 1.17 is the problem. I compiled. Freedreno and the freedreno mesa 10.3 and libdrn packages without success. The xserver is segfaulting when it loads libexa.so.
Now i try to downgrade to 1.16 . ive read that the xf86-video-freedreno-git package is not working with flo. Is that correct? Did youbuild this packages with modificationa?
I believe this is why i love arch. Its like lego for nerds or something

Having my favourite distro on my pocket is very exciting so thank you very much...
I have to carry only a development lamp server so using a pacman tip I revert to a base, base-devel system removing everything about xorg and DE.
Now I connect using ssh but I've noticed that the tablet screen is simply blank: no tty, no text console.
There is a way to have a text only console at boot to make a login (may be using an usb keyboard) when device is not connected?
Hello, I have some trouble when I boot.
config: rastapop 5.1.1 (AOSP based) + last multirom v32A + Kernel w/ kexec-hardboot patch (Stock 5.1.1)
Installing archlinux correctly from the terminal emulator. Load it --> black screen (about 6seconds) --> Google Logo forever
Someone know what I can do for make it work ?
Cool I will give it a try.
OK, I don't think this thread will get any attention, but I want to document it anyway. All this should work on other devices with qcom WiFi drivers.
TL;DR:
Grab iwpriv binary somewhere (i've got my here: https://github.com/kriswebdev/android_wireless_tools/tree/master/bin)
adb push iwpriv /data/local/tmp/
adb shell su -c chmod +x /data/local/tmp/iwpriv
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
ip link set wlan0 down
sleep 1
echo 4 > /sys/module/wlan/parameters/con_mode
sleep 2
ip link set wlan0 up
/data/local/tmp/iwpriv wlan0 monitor 1
/data/local/tmp/iwpriv wlan0 MonitorModeConf 9 40 1 111 0
And enjoy your airodump output
NO PACKET INJECTION! (stubbed out in driver, removed previously?)
If you don't receive any packets, issue "/data/local/tmp/iwpriv wlan0 monitor 1" again.
How does this all work?
Some time ago I discovered these strings in wlan_hal_msg.h: (they appeared in google):
Code:
...
/* Monitor Mode */
WLAN_HAL_ENABLE_MONITOR_MODE_REQ = 302,
WLAN_HAL_ENABLE_MONITOR_MODE_RSP = 303,
WLAN_HAL_DISABLE_MONITOR_MODE_REQ = 304,
WLAN_HAL_DISABLE_MONITOR_MODE_RSP = 305,
...
Then I unscrambled some indirections:
WLAN_HAL_ENABLE_MONITOR_MODE_REQ to WDI_MON_START_REQ in WDI_2_HAL_REQ_TYPE
WDI_MON_START_REQ sent in WDI_ProcessMonStartReq <— actual message sents here!
Called from "Request Processing Array" in function WDI_MonStartReq
Wrapped in WDA_ProcessMonStartReq, which is called in WDA_McProcessMsg by message WDA_MON_START_REQ
Which message is posted by wlan_hdd_mon_postMsg if (MON_MODE_START == pMonCtx->state)
Which is called in __iw_setint_getnone with sub_cmd = WE_SET_MONITOR_STATE
Which is set by iw_priv cmd "monitor"
And then figured out that driver works in different modes:
(vos_types.h)
Code:
/// Concurrency role. These are generic IDs that identify the various roles
/// in the software system.
typedef enum
{ /*ON linux maintain 1-1 corespondence with device_mode_t in hdd*/
VOS_STA_MODE=0,
VOS_STA_SAP_MODE=1, //to support softAp mode . This is misleading. It means AP MODE only.
//The constant name has historical reason
VOS_P2P_CLIENT_MODE,
VOS_P2P_GO_MODE,
VOS_MONITOR_MODE,
VOS_FTM_MODE = 5,
VOS_IBSS_MODE,
VOS_P2P_DEVICE,
VOS_MAX_NO_OF_MODE
} tVOS_CON_MODE;
Mode can be changed by "con_mode" module parameter.
(idk why they reinvented the wheel and not used the default "iw dev wlan0 set mode monitor")
Combined all this and... got a kernel panic. You may get it too. Main reasons are:
- You have not disabled WiFi before changing the mode
- The sleep time after disabling interface is short
- Driver is old. Yes, you can get crashes on some kernels. If you are, flash AGNi.
After successful switching you'll get a working monitor (check this with tcpdump -i wlan0), but with ethernet packets instead of radiotap, so airodump will not work. Luckily, this giant crappy driver can work with radiotap, but you need to configure it. This is done by another iwpriv call:
MonitorModeConf: <channel> <bandwidth> <crccheck> <filter> <conversion_required>
Filter: 3 decimal numbers
least to most: management packets, control packets, data packets
Conversion: 1 - ARPHRD_ETHER (802.3 packets), 0 - ARPHRD_IEEE80211_RADIOTAP (802.11 packets)
(again don't know why they implemented these calls instead of default ioctl's for channel switch, etc. This makes airodump unable to switch channels)
As a result you may get something like on a screenshot
Happy sniffing!
Who said it will not be an interesting , I my self appreciated your effort to bring this up. Kudos to you friend.

Thanks. I wanted to say that kenzo development is almost dead, we've lost official LOS and keep losing devs.... So it's most likely we'll not see working packet injection (cuz devs who know driver's internals better than me are left), and, possibly, a wrapper library implementing the default ioctl's (like channel switch) used in most programs.
i understand, hopefully we can have new devs. who will continue
This is a perfect news. At least if this device became obsolete, it should still be useful to be a portable linux pen test device, if possible. Anyway, awesome job mate. Very much appreciated

you dont have permission to capture on that device sokect operation not permitted

Thank you. I forgot to say that monitor mode requiers support from firmware (there's some code in driver that checks for it). Kenzo guys are lucky because we have it enabled . There's also sta+monitor mode (so you can have working wifi connection while sniffing), but it also requiers support from firmware and kenzo's fw compiled without it. I forgot how to enable it, but i think you need to issue "iwpriv wlan0 monitor 1" in default con_mode and check dmesg - there will be a string that says it's not supported (if it is not).
And if someone is interested, our wireless chip is wcn3680b, simmilar one (or same, idk) can be found in nexus 4 (mako)

There's nothing to install except iwpriv binary... But OK, I'll try to create a magisk module with enable/disable scripts.

Ok, I made it quickly!
Source: https://github.com/cerg2010cerg2010/qcmon
There's 2 scripts, run them from shell:
monen - enables monitor mode (you can specify configuration in the parameters, see system/xbin/monen)
mondis - disables monitor mode. You can use your wifi connection again.

Is it safe to flash with magisk in note 5 pro ?

@cerg2010 Tried to flash with magisk in note 5 pro. System apps are not working after disabling the module from magisk it returned to normal. Any solution for this ?

Please understand that I don't have any "note 5 pro". You can send me logcat and I can try to identify the problem or ask your ROM developer to take a look (if it's not MIUI lol). Anyway, that's just scripts, so you can copy them to /data/local/tmp or /system/bin manually.
Lol I'm a n00b what does this do? Is this a packet sniffer or something?

Sort of. It makes your sniffer to work - you will be able to capture raw WiFi packets from your device without any dongles.
plis whats rom u use ¿

thank you man, monitor mode now working on my poco F1, using its module magisk + aircrack-ng
