anybody know how to get ad-hoc wifi to work on the rooted legend?

Hi all,
trying to get my feet wet with some android hacking and thought getting my AR.Drone to work with my legend would be a good start. It requires connecting to the ad-hoc network created by the drone. The normal way is to edit /system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini as described e.g. here: projects.ardrone.org/boards/1/topics/show/1098 but /system doesn't seem writable even though I have root. I then found this app for the desire: code.google.com/p/desire-adhoc/ but the legend has a different wifi chip, so it didn't work. Attempting to reproduce what that app does I did
$ adb shell
# su -c 'insmod /system/lib/modules/tiwlan_drv.ko'
insmod: init_module '/system/lib/modules/tiwlan_drv.ko' failed (No such file or directory)
even though that file definitely exists. Am I missing something here, or is that part of the annoying restrictions still present even on the rooted legend? Ad-hoc wifi must be possible somehow, the wifi-tether guys managed to get it to work. Unfortunately their code is a bit over my head. Any pointers?
thanks

Do it from recovery mode. We don't have access to /system in normal usage of phone (you get used to it).

okay, I guess I have to learn how to bake my own update.zip.
still curious though, why am I getting "no such file or directory" if it's clearly there (and a similar method seems to work on the desire)?
I also tried this:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754961&highlight=legend
Which is a quite cleverly hacked wpa_supplicant, but that resulted in no wifi at all any more, even though the patched supplicant is officially the same version. strange.
any clue how the wifi-tether guys do it?

No, those command work. Boot your phone to recovery mode, then mount the /system partition from the ClockworkMOD menu. then you can execute your commands, they should do it.
Also, questions like this shouldn't really be in the development section. Just so you know.

You got it all wrong guys... first you dont need to su -c as you already are root. Second... you need to load sdio.ko prior to tiwlan_drv.ko. And no we do not perform these in recovery mode

I thought he was editing files... Oh well, I'll read more carefully in future. Sorry guys.
EDIT:
Yeah, look:
The normal way is to edit /system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini as described e.g. here: projects.ardrone.org/boards/1/topics/show/1098 but /system doesn't seem writable even though I have root.

So he could edit from recovery mode. But, I was still an idiot, I said to do the insmod things from recovery. I am very sorry for wasting time here, I'll learn to read carefully and give proper answers.
Sorry

aaaahhh, that got me a bit further thanks! very confusing error message...
so module loading works now, but the phone just reboots a few seconds after I set
"iwconfig tiwlan0 mode ad-hoc"
any further advice?
Also I guess the confusion was my own fault since I rolled three different ways of doing one thing into the same post...

Oh man, I've said all the wrong things today. I'm so sorry. I'll just leave this thread now.

Yes. Loading modules just isn't enough in our case. You need to load firmware too before you bring interface up otherwise your system will reboot
Check Gratiend ROM thread or look into init.legend.rc for hints on firmware loading...

thanks. found this
/system/bin/tiwlan_loader \
-f /system/etc/wifi/Fw1273_CHIP.bin -e /proc/calibration \
-i /system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini
after googling init.legend.rc. doesn't seem to make a difference though. also tried using tiwlan.ini from the wifi tether guys, but no luck. device still reboots after setting ad-hoc mode. I guess I give up, there's no-one answering to my question on the wifi-tether google group either. i guess just because it's open source doesn't mean it's for the uninitiated...

Try sleep for 1 or 2 seconds after you load firmware, then bring interface up or start wpa_supplicant.
I you are using patched wpa_supplicant I guess you will have one more obstacle. It supports only wext aware devices and I guess our driver is not wext aware...

I solved the problem by installing Cyanogenmod (all other tries failed)

I enter the commands by hand, so there's already a delay in between. And I'm doing this by hand precisely because the patched supplicant didn't work on the legend. I guess now I know why. Thanks for all the advice though.

I had a CM6 nightly installed and toyed around with it a bit, but I actually use my FM radio (I know, barely anyone else does...) so I need to use a HTC ROM. liked the CM6 in a lot of other respects though. still out of the question for now.
Also I would eventually like to contribute whatever comes out of this to a proper AR.drone app that requires root and nothing else.

[DEV] Ubuntu on Nexus S (natively)

Ok, so following on from the MeeGo thread, I have Ubuntu booting on the Nexus S using the same method and same kernel.
The Ubuntu image used is the HD2 Ubuntu image (v 0.3), loaded from a file on the internal memory (again, no flashing required - you can thank me later).
The touchscreen isn't yet working, but that's my kernel at fault. Will fix that with the MeeGo stuff.
If you want to try this yourself, first grab yourself a copy of Ubuntu for HD2, and take just the rootfs.ext2 file and drag it to your Nexus S (put it in a folder called 'ubuntu' - lowercase is important!).
Then use fastboot to boot the following image (or flash it to recovery partition if you're daring and know how dangerous that can be):
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8657343/bootUbuntu.img
You will need to do one minor edit once the device is booted; you will see the screen output is very weird; ADB push the following file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and then reboot Ubuntu:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8657343/xorg.conf
If you're in any way interested, please click the thanks button! Otherwise, enjoy!

nice!
the next thing we'll need after getting the touch screen working
is to have a calling app daemon, and make sure internet works on both 3G and WiFi

nice, look same at Ubuntu Netbook Edition

What about Galaxy S?

In theory the same stuff should work; I don't have a Galaxy S to test on or I'd try it. I don't know anything about the Galaxy S' bootloader, or how much the kernel would differ (I'm guessing not at all, since this is a stock Samsung kernel from the Android kernel source)

I did an article on my site http://www.android-ita.com/dev-port-di-ubuntu-sul-nexus-s/
Maybe some italian devs, will help you

Thanks for this, gonna have a play now
Why is it dangerous to flash the boot image to recovery? Isn't fastboot lower level than recovery, or have I got that wrong?

nice, thanks. trying this as soon as my wife gets off my phone.

Oh my god.. You are awesome good sir. Will give it a run when touch is up and running!

I'd love it to be run from Android....i dont want it natively, just to test it...booting for example from an android app

I would love to know if this will work on Epic 4G. I'm going to give it a shot to see what happens.

Great job
Could you give us the sources of your kernel ? Is it patched ?

There are no changes to the kernel at all so far. I changed the config file to enable VTs, that's it.

Ok, thank you, I'll try to build one myself

can this method be used to install android 2.3 on a phone running android 2.1,
especilly in the case when upgrading is difficult because of kernel and locked bootloader (like motorola devices) ? excuse me if it is a silly question, i'm not a coder.

would it be possible to make an app that re-boots into fastboot and runs the fastboot command. since we dont always have a comp available to run fasboot which makes this useless if your not at home, or have a laptop (in which case you dont need ubuntu on a phone)

works on Nexus One right now ?
--> ok I'm trying

It blocks on X screen of my nexus one.. before the classic bootanimation.zip
Someone have any idea about that ?

Ok, so I've got wifi working . Here is my solution. A little bit crappy but... hey... it's a start ! Also, I tried compiling the kernel with the module built in and it wont boot, and I don't know why ?
Howto get wifi :
1) Boot Ubuntu following stroughtonsmith indications
2) Download http://tyruiop.org/~tyruiop/wifi_nexuss_ubuntu.tar.bz2
3) push the vendor directory at the root. The path must remain (/vendor/firmware etc...) and the bcm4329.ko file wherever you want.
4) reboot under ubuntu
5) *optional, only if ifconfig -a doesn't show eth0* type insmod /path/to/bcm4329.ko
6) Type "ifconfig -a". An eth0 interface should appear. It's wireless. You can configure it with wpa_supplicant without a problem .

Uhm.. with Nexus One, Ubuntu blocks on X SCREEN (before the classic bootanimation).. Maybe something that I do is wrong ?
- Download HD2 Ubuntu
- mkdir ubuntu/
- put in ubuntu/ the fs on the archive I downloader
- put ubuntu/ in the SDCARD
- adb reboot bootloader
- fastboot boot bootUbuntu.img
Is it correct ?

[GUIDE]BackTrack 5 in webtop (BackTop)

BACKTOP v0.00001​
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Alright, so this is a guide to finally get the backtrack 5 software running inside of webtop. It uses chroot and xterm to allow full access to the software contained within the backtrack 5 arm image.
Prerequisites:
CWM Installed:
For all version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138541
WebTopMOD installed:
For 2.3.4 go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1169457
For 1.8.3 go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1093790
You do not need to download the Debian disk image. Will we be using the backtrack disk image instead.
BusyBox Installed in /system/bin:
Downloaded "BusyBox Installer" from the app store.
BE SURE TO INSTALL IN /SYSTEM/BIN!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The Goods:
BackTop.zip:
Download and un-zip the attached files into /sdcard/bt
BackTop.zip
BackTrack 5 ARM Image:
PART 1 : Download Link : http://bit.ly/p1BT5
PART 2 : Download Link : http://bit.ly/BT5p2
PART 3 : Download Link : http://bit.ly/BT5p3
These download links are from the xperia backtrack project and where I took inspiration to get it working in webtop. After using 7z to unarchive just place bt.img in the /sdcard/bt folder. The archives other contents can be safely ignored.
Click to expand...

What you should have by now:
WebTOPMOD for Atrix.
BusyBox Installed in /system/bin.
Downloaded scripts placed in the /sdcard/bt folder.
Downloaded bt.img placed in the /sdcard/bt folder.

Give it a go:
Step 0: Connect the phone to display/lapdock. Run webtop and wait for it to boot.
Step 1: Open LXTerminal from the dock and type "cd /sdcard/bt"
Step 2: To run BackTop type "sudo bash backtop"
You should be presented with a white xterm screen. You can now use all the utilities built into backtrack 5 with ease. You can even run the gnome desktop environment! (More on that bellow)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Running Gnome:
You first need to kill off all the webtop crap do this by typing the following in xterm.
"ps ax|grep awn|awk '{print $1}'|xargs kill"
"ps ax|grep panel|awk '{print $1}'|xargs kill"
Then start gnome by typing "gnome-session" in xterm.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Accessing sdcards:
You'll need to make two directories inside of backtrack /sdcard and /sdcard-ext to do this type:
"sudo mkdir /sdcard"
"sudo mkdir /sdcard-etc"
Once you've done this simply reboot your phone and restart BackTop.
Click to expand...

Known issues:
ettercap causes network connectivity inside of webtop to fail.
If something does go terribly wrong you can always force quit backtop with the following command:
"sudo bash /sdcard/bt/forcekillbt"

its a pen testing Linux suit. its essentially Linux loaded up with hacking tools meant for testing networks to prevent hacking or "penetration". hack your own network. discover the vulnerabilities. and patch them. - to put it simply

This is amazing. Thanks.

7z issue with the bt.7z
Hum... I might be doing something wrong but I am not able to uncompress the 3 volumes posted in the links... I was able to download them all but the only one who actually I can uncompress is the first one and it generate a file bt.7z that I am also unable to uncompress... I am getting the following msg when I try to 7unzip them:
"cannot open file 'x:\xx\xx\bt.7z.002' as archive"
Should I join them all into one then use 7zip?
Forget it I just found it out by myself... is using a program to join them all into one then Unzip it.

My dream come true .............. i assume that we can run kismet and metasploit framework ?!
What kernel and rom were you able to make this run well with as i am having really bad reboots after i undock the phone from the lapdock as i am running faux123 kernel and cherry crust v3.

webtop when connected to hdmi not doing anything...
I was trying to use this backtrack distro on my AT&T Atrix and I must admit that I am a kind of noob on this ... I wasn't seeing big advantage until now that we have bt to use instead of the stock version...
I have no Lapdock so I am using Ronaldo_9 CWM version to run Webtop on HDMI in my GB 2.3.4 ( 4.5.91 from Kenneth Penn ). It was working til I followed these instructions ...
Well a little bit of what I did:
1- Downloaded the WebTopMOD from Joe Ferreira v2 to install with CWM.
2- Got also BusyBox installed through the BusyBox Installer over my /system/bin
3- Downloaed (even knowing it's not needed) the Debian disk from Joe Ferreira link (to install webtopmod).
4- Downloaded the BlackTrack 5 image from the links on the first post
5- Downloaded the BackTop.zip from the first post
6- Created the /sdcard/bt folder and put only the bt.img and forcekillbt and backtop files from Backtop.zip file onto it...
7- Plugged in my HDMI cable over my tv (yes I have no lapdock)
8- The Webtop option pop's up and when I selected it.....
Nothing happened... not even an error msg or stuff... the only thing still working is EC... but webtop none.... Does anyone of you have any clue or hint of what can I do about it?
EDIT: Got it working... it was because of the broken V2 WebtopMOD so I flashed the V1 and everything went fine.... Thank you all for not helping it made me a better researcher

I think I just wet myself I've been waiting for someone to come up with this since they started the ARM archticture and ported it to the XOOM tablet

BCM4329 supports Promiscuous Mode and Multiple Monitor mode.
It supports Packet Injection, too.
The WiFi module needs to be modified for enabling these things... I'm currently working on GenTop, but after finishing that work I can take a look at it and see if I'm skilled enough to enable it on the driver.

Kernel version is 3.0.8.
If you can install linux distros on the backend of rooted ARM devices it should make sense we could do the same....maybe

Ubuntu on a RAZR I ? Linux x86 apps + windows apps with wine without even recompile? I think this devece needs some love. It can be the next HTC HD2 for shure.

I dont understand the htc comparison
But i have your ideas about no need to recompile and wine in mind too...
But i understand adam because linux for android is compiled for arm achitecture so a usual desktop image would make more sense...
Why is the kernel version so low?!
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium

What we need to do
I have a friend with this device, after rooting he reports there is no chroot command from terminal. If so we must:
Compile busybox (with more extensions) for x86 and install it alongside root (or after root)
Make a mountable image from an ubuntu clean install and mount it (probably also needs busybox)
chroot into this mounted image
run a vnc X server on a framebuffer
vnc from android
This is how it is done on other android devices, will attempt to compile and try these instructions out this weekend when I meet him but booting native ubuntu is a much better idea (even better if we can make it receive calls ).

And for what Windows on 4,3 inches display? It dont have hdmi.

Go look up the HTC HD2. It can run Windows Phone 7 and Android dual-booted (with Linux from SDCard), and was originally the last, albeit most powerful, Windows Mobile 6 phone ever made.
Even though it is four years old, there is a massive and vibrant dev community behind it, making it reach the front page of XDA forums.
However, even the venerable HD2 is getting old, with 1GHz processor and half a gig of RAM that was top-of-the-line years ago, and people have looked in vain for some kind of successor. Hopefully, the Razr I, with an unlockable bootloader and Intel processor, will be the one. But that remains for us to do.

So I tried this out and there is a chroot-compatible busybox after rooting ("busybox chroot" needs to be called as opposed to "chroot" as there is no properly made link), so anyone with this phone can try (using a PC) install Ubuntu without the grub bootloader using manual partitioning on a single ext3 (I am not sure if ICS supports ext4) partition on a microsd, put into your phone, use a root terminal, mount it, mount the adequate dev, dev/pts, proc and sys partitions and chroot right in. You then might want to install a VNC server in Ubuntu to be able to create a VNC X session in a framebuffer and a VNC client on the android side to VNC into localhost (127.0.0.1), but that should work, I didn't have time to try it this weekend If someone gets stuck post and let us see what happens I cannot wait to see if wine can run desktop Spotify with sound, excited a little hehe.
EDIT: So to make this more understandable you must:
Install Ubuntu (using your computer) to a MicroSD, specifying partitions manually and choosing only a single ext3. Right before clicking install there is a button with something along the lines of "Advanced options", disable the install the bootloader (grub) option.
Insert the MicroSD into the phone and open a root terminal
I don't use Android, maybe it automounts in /media/sdcard or /sdcard, if not you will have to find the device and partition name (probably /dev/mmcblk0p1 or /dev/sdb1) and issue "mount /dev/DEVICEPARTITION /media/sdcard"
mount -t proc proc /media/sdcard/proc
mount -o bind /dev/ /media/sdcard/dev/
mount -t devpts devpts /media/sdcard/dev/pts
busybox chroot /media/sdcard /bin/bash
Now a shell from Ubuntu should open. apt-get update && apt-get install vncserver (maybe the DNS settings must be set in /etc/resolv.conf, not yet sure)
vncserver (or start vncserver, something along those lines)
Now from Android install a VNC viewer and vnc into 127.0.0.1 (or localhost)
That should do it, again if you get stuck post here

i had htc hd2, the most amazing phone in the world. I wanna buy the rarz i for the x86 processor in it. But cpu power without community and developers is nothing :|
Sorry for my bad english.

Yesterday we tried something:
We used dd to put an arch linux image on a micro sd card...
Though my laptop wasnt even able to boot from any sd card, this should work on our phone...
but how to make it boot from the sd card? xD
btw you might have noticed, this will make only linux boot, not android, we dont chroot, may somebody build a simple ubuntu img for complete linux installer?
//Robert

so right now i am trying to chroot into an img file, mounting it and then chrooting it but all i get is:
chroot: can't execute '/system/bin/sh': No such file or directory

Hey,
great work. :good:
Good to see there are people with the same ideas. I´ve searched a lot for this thread.
I will also try to get this device for the same reasons when it´s cheaper. Has anybody tried to get Plasma Active or Tizen to run?
I think Active should now be possible through kubuntu Active?

Hi all
At first you can try a application from play store called Linux installer
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zpwebsites.linuxonandroid
Otherwise you can wait some weeks for an nexus 7 Ubuntu port witch looks really interesting.

thanks for your post on preparing an arch image (I don't have permision to post in devel forum, maybe because I'm a newbie ), It worked well for me although I had to adjust some things such as path and pts mount
I now have a gcc toolchain and a latex distrib on my phone I had never used arch, found it very good
I've also tried some window managers ... the one I find best for the moment is enlightenment in the touchscreen mode, awesome works great as well.
I would also suggest to use Hacker's keyboard instead of stock android, it is a complete keyboard, very usefull when dealing with terminals ... as for VNC viewer, one should recompile android-vnc-viewer with the patches given in Issues 238 and 239 (can't post links either), it's a lot better
I've had a lot of fun, thanks

First, Complete Linux Installer doesnt work because its images are compiled for arm not x86 (i tried )
Secondly, I did a tutorial here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1966984
the nexus 7 stuff is interesting and we consider making flashable fastboot for the razr i since we dont have cwm or such you know
i am talking to jordan keyes who recently owned a nexus 7 who probably will try out the ubu stuff and i might get some system info
but i would really prefer a dual boot, capable of booting from sd...

I came across this site today:

SGA, thanks for your effort in bringing Ubuntu touch to Touchpad!
If you need help with testers, let me know

No. It's Ubuntu Touch, but from what I have heard on XDA Developer T.V. (check 'em out on YouTube) it is based on CyanogenMod.

I'm assuming the install process will be similar to The Nexus line, flash the core system then the phablet zip.

What source did you use to compile? I tried to compile it and kept getting some weird error got frustrated and gave up.

Yeah, I think that's how it will always be. The core zip is device specific and contains the CM base while the phablet zip is for all devices.

Off to 3.0.8

Going to try a newer kernel to get wifi working. We need Fanotify in the kernel for the network manager to see the wireless. Has to do with proc mounted inside of a chroot and daemons having permission. Sad because once you run ubuntu_chroot shell to get in, you can run iwlist wlan0 scan...
Status Update Complete.
How to compile. Grab evervolv's device folder, but not his vendor folder.. grab hardware/qcom hardware/atheros and the compat-wireless from.. some folder.. forgot the name... I got these from evervolv's ubuntuphone branch for tenderloin.. (the kernel) and his build of android.
Those are the current sources.. May change.. Be sure to change ev.mk file to cm.mk, and change /vender/ev (inside of ev.mk) to /vendor/cm, ev.dependencies file to cm.dependencies....
JCSullins announced he will start work on JB. So that is cool. But.. 3.0.8 Kernel doesn't have working sound or bluetooth. Until someone figures that out with 3.0.8, Ubuntu-Touch and the Touchpad WILL NOT HAVE SOUND. (cough cough nag jcsullins cough cough).. That guy is the man to go to for that.
Backporting Fanotify is not easy. You run into having to change the msm code. (I ran into msm-watchdog.c) So much you might as well just go to 3.0.8.. I have an odd feeling that is someone were to backport it, sound would stop working....

Backup you jellybean system folder to a tarball and then extract it somewhere.. Same with the Ubuntu Touch system folder.
(I was about to give up!)
cp -R -f /jellybean/lib/* /system/lib
cp -R -f /ubuntutouch/lib/* /system/lib
cp -R -f /jellybean/etc/firmware/* /system/etc/firmware (my adreno firmware was missing, so this will fix that)
reboot.. and it worked.. merged libraries.
Fonts are not bad all the time..... Going to try this with 3.0.8 tonight.. If someone is bored today, give it a shot. Let us know how it works.
To brunch tenderloin I have to manually create out/host/linux-x86/bin and stick mkimage in there.
go to vender/cm/vendersetup.sh and add add-lunch-combo cm-tenderloin-userdebug.. I think.
there is a mkimage in the ubuntu touch source.. I used that. /system/extras/mkimage.. it needs to be compiled gcc mkimage.c -o mkimage -lz
then copy it cp ./system/extras/mkimage/mkimage ./out/host/linux-x86/bin no idea if this is required.
there are 2 bzr branch commands that need to be run.. google that.. Should be in Ubuntu Porting guide, but it's not. ubuntuappmanager library and some other library.
edit: run this inside of the ubuntu touch source folder/ubuntu
"bzr branch lphablet-extras/libhybris hybris" stupid smiles. =)
"bzr branch lplatform-api platform-api"

dont forget to run extract-files.sh and get-prebuild, etc.
source build/envsetup.sh

I bring over ts_srv and that other ts program from jellybean to ubuntu and currently add commands to /system/etc/init.d/90userinit to get stuff running.. Lazy, I am.
Confused? That is my rough draft guide.
A dude by the name of tigeris, or something that started with tig.. he helped me a lot on ubuntu-phone on irc. So did another guy named.. omxy.. I think... I will find them. Gotta go,

My wife would really like someone to pick this work up.. She wants me to .. "come back to the family"....

Oh yeah.. Wifi does work.
To get wifi working..
do this.
ubuntu_chroot shell
mount -o proc proc /proc
network manager should now bomb.
this is for open security.
ifconfig wlan0 essid "your essid"
ifconfig wlan0 up
dhcpcd wlan0
dhcpcd taken from jellybean tar.gz from the bin folder.. So.. yeah.. but no network-manager without fanotify and some other daemons. be sure to take dhcpcd stuff from etc.
DONT RUN ubuntu_chroot all by itself.. It will crash.
ALSO you MUST unmount proc before shutting down or it will be stuck in mtab and you will have old stuff inside of the /proc folder, inside of chroot, or rather /data/ubuntu/proc..
Problems? Restore ubuntufs tarball in recovery.
I will release something sometime soon.. after testing 3.0.8.. but if you know how to do all this stuff, be my guest.

Why don't you create your own github and share with us?
I bet that there are a lot of devs who want to continue.
I am really interested but I kind of got lost when you said to get the files from Evervolv... Can you post links to be more specific please?
Thank you.

Its just githib.com/evervolv

Doing that tonight... By the end of tonight I will release something..
It will be 3 files.
The first will be the .zip file that has the actual /system folder
second is of course from ubuntu and is the rootfs.
Third will be a tarball you guys can extract once the tablet is booted that will just have touch and graphics working. You can use wifi if you run it from adb, and keep the tablet powered on.
I haven't even touched pixel ratio.
Oh.. a 4th file.. of the whole ubuntu touch folder.. cleaned and made proper.. Uploaded to google drive.. Or hell I guess I can look at github...
