[USB-Tethering] Wired Tether for Root Users

Hi!
I've put an app together (99% based on "Wireless Tether for Root Users") which allows tethering via USB. Clients need to support RNDIS - works fine with Microsoft Windows (tested with XP and 7) and Linux (OpenSuSE 11.1).
Zinx Verituse has ported the essential parts of the hero-kernel and cyanogen has introduced this feature in his latest rom. So, thanks Zinx for the patches and cyanogen for publishing on github.
Patches can be found here:
http://github.com/cyanogen/cm-kernel/commit/9fd56ebdb6aba91e9b17ddea490ec9b39a819112
http://github.com/cyanogen/cm-kernel/commit/1a57339f015c3bfa097cf1d3e82f3485a6652483
I've decided to create this app to give all rom-cooks the ability to use this feature without modifying system-services and/or system-apks.
What a cook needs to do: Patch your kernel and recompile - all other stuff is done by the app.
Download:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wired-tether/
Features:
* Tethering makes use of the mobile-data-connection (HSDPA/EDGE/GPRS) or WiFi-connection
* Uses correct domainname-servers - provided by your carrier or which are configured on the wifi-access-point you connect (even if the network changes => switch from 3g to wifi and vice versa)
* Allows to change the local-network (network/subnetmask)
Supported ROMs:
* CyanogenMod 4.2.3.1+
* Android Dev Phone 1
=> my kernel-update needs to be applied: http://code.google.com/p/android-wired-tether/downloads/list?q=Kernel
* ?
Have fun!
Harry

THX a lot for this app
sudo dhclient usb0 and there you go

Good work.

Alot of the hero roms were finally able to get wireless tethering for root working on, well, hero roms. i installed, but cant get it working. What patch should i use, im using Sense Hero1.3.3

Hi Harry,
I'm visiting from the CDMA Hero forum, in the hopes that you might have some pointers on how to get this to work on the rooted CDMA Hero?
When I looked at this project over at code.google.com, it seems like this requires 1.6, where the CDMA hero is running 1.5. Will this fact doom us to ever run wired tether at this point?
From what I can tell on my Hero, everything seems to run fine until after I allow root access for the app. It then gives me a FC when accessing the system settings (as it's the one referenced in the FC.)
Can I apply your kernel safely to my ROM? Thanks in advance for your help!!

doesnt seem to work with macs

Did you try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=443025?

I've been using the wired tether for the past week and have experienced some issues. Mainly, if the tether app isn't in the foreground, the process seems to randomly get restarted. This manifests as brief hiccups in internet access for the connected computer. Didn't experience this problem using WT4R (in bluetooth mode).
HW: Dream
App: wired-tether-1.0.apk
Kernel: adp 1.6 usbtether-r3
OS: Vista SP2
If I remember to, i'll post a log later tonight.

Could you please explain (or put in the first post) why use this while the current tether in Network Settings (CM4.2.x) works just fine?

If usb-tethering with cyanogenmod is working fine for you there is no reason why you should use this app. I've implemented just a few enhancements (using the correct domainname-servers, changing lan-config) - I don't know how cyanogen is doing this stuff (I don't use it).
The main-idea of this app was to bring usb-tethering to other roms (where system-settings can't be modified or roms which a pretty close to stock roms and heavily modified parts are not welcome). All you need for this is a modified kernel which can be easily done.

Ah, it hadn't occurred to me that other roms might not yet have tethering.
Thanks for your contribution then!

Very good! Thank you!

Anyone have the usb drivers for Windows XP?
Thanks in advance!

Has anyone used this successfully with Dwang 1.13? When Cyanogen came out with USB tethering it practically rendered mounting my sdcard and adb unusable. But this would be nice to use.

Sorry...Here's the link for it all.

awesome app
hey dude thanks for this app. i have cyanogenmod 4.2.5 and i know usb tethering is enabled on there but i didnt know how to get it to work. this app made it easy and painless i just had to download htc sync for hero and it worked like a charm. love it..

Just wanted to jump in and say thanks. I'm using this in my newest build and it works like a charm. I couldn't remember the authors name so i came here to get it so I can give credit, so while I'm here I wanted to say good job, and thank you

This does work on dwangs 1.13 ... however it broke the cell network I was unable to get cell signal or network so it did me no good. I am working on way to fix this but I have not done dev for any phone in a long time, so it may take me a while to find out what is doing this.

[rom][p7500][wifi+3g]stock 3.2 brazil vivo (from kies)

::: I WILL NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE :::
Hi everyone! Today my Galaxy Tab 10.1 (3G) has been updated to Honeycomb 3.2 via Samsung Kies.
During the update, i saved the Kies download folder containing the firmware.
I've uploaded to 4shared on this link:
http://www.4shared.com/file/IvMsjSLY/P7500ZVVKL1_P7500UBKL1_P7500VI.html
- Its about 727MB.
- You need Odim to flash (I cant help you with that).
- Is a Brazilian VIVO 3G version, and "i think" will work on any 3G Galaxy TAB 10.1.
- I've updated this morning so, not tested enough.
- Is more fast than the original 3.1 but, not fast enough We really need ICS.

Great job tonywalker!
Samsung released updates from gt-p7500 but vivo doesn't offer support.
Many people uses task650's roms, and look very awesome, but most of task650 updates and others works only in "gt wifi only". Is there any way to use these roms and apply 3g support on gt-p7500 from vivo?

Probably not. Developers would have to create a ROM specifically for gt-7500.
After a few days of use I can say that I really liked this update to 3.2. The most annoying problem was resolved, and now just the slowness of the tablet bothers me.
I think you should try.

Thanks a lot.
Searching an restock way for a looooong time, thank you.

which problems and apps?

I´d like to know what kind of problem did you find on 3.2 stock? Is it slowest than 3.1? Yesterday i rooted the tablet (3.1 os) and also overclocked, after these mods i realized that honeycomb are more fast and flow now. Honestly i dont want to create new problems that now.
Some apps are very usefull and cant miss on this tablet like:
- Folder Organize (u can use lite version)
- HD Widgets (improve time and weather with a excelent widget)
- Hide bar (the propose is: hide system bar every time you want, but bottom restore didnt work as the program promess)
- wifi ad hoc enabler (this app are really getting me nervous!!! I´m looking for a app that enable ad-hoc network and share files between pc and tablets (option locked by samsung). This is a new app and most os people are leaving messages saying that its perfect. After follow all the instructions i cant share my files.
** I tried to download 3.2 stock but i think that only 4shared users are allowed to download big files. Please, split the rom in two small files and reupload
Denis Costa

Just to confirm, I flash this by putting my tablet into download mode, then selecting PDA in odin and then search for the .tar.md5 file of the ROM right?

Verizon Droid 3G / GSM in Europe

I got me a DROID 3 Verizon branded ... just wanted to give an updated on how I did make the data connection run because it really was a pain in the a....
- unlocked the Mobile by a code being send by http://simlock24.pl ... probably other will work as well!
- Rooted the device installed root browser (Android play market) to manage files on Droid 3
- I updated the Verizon to the lates version.
- downloaded Maverick 3.5 here: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/maverick-rom-d3/200510-maverick-rom-v3-5-droid-3-a.html
- installed safestrap and used the instrauctions in the maveric thread to upload maverick and get rid of the complete Verizon bull****...
- I flashed the radio from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=1189727
- I did change the build. prop by adding at the very end:
#
# GSM SIGNAL IMPROVEMENTS
#
ro.ril.hsxpa=3
ro.ril.gprsclass=12
ro.ril.hep=1
ro.ril.enable.dtm=1
ro.ril.hsdpa.category=28
ro.ril.enable.a53=1
ro.ril.enable.3g.prefix=1
ro.ril.htcmaskw1.bitmask=4294967295
ro.ril.htcmaskw1=14449
ro.ril.hsupa.category=9
- there are a few other settings in the build.prop to be done to get some things fixed - NO Verizon network
ro.mot.phonemode.vzwglobalphone=0
and
ro.telephony.default_network=3
- I did restart and then - important - I had to define the APN ! by starting filling out the name, funnily a few of the data were added automatically- saving and 3G data connection was enabled !
Resume:
I tried a lot and some of the failures see below:
- RS Lite never worked! - not matter what version was used!
- Be careful wiht the battery... if the battery is too low , the docking station helps!!! put the Droid3 in the docking station and you can get up to the safestrap menu to start reloading of updates etc. Keep in mind - in the fastboot modus the device is not loading the battery!
- Liberty - didnt work at all
- there is a maverick version in this forum and I failed to use it, beause of updates I would have to do via RS lite.... which didn't work.
- My first way to make 3g data connection work , was simply adding the GSM update in the build.prop... - after updating on the latest release of the Verizon software - BUT for some reason - that I haven't understood until today- it just worked 1 week. Suddenly my access to 3G network was completely denied.. thats why I had to search a new way decribed above !
- tried different build.prop .. lot didn't work.. so be careful with overwriting !
Hope that helps !
thnx to Rwaley who has helped liek the other guys in this and other froums ;-) where I collected everything bit by bit.. to make things run ! and F... off to the service quality of Motorola and Verizon... grrrr I hate them... ;-)

Not sure why you had so much trouble but my droid 3 works fine on every rom in europe. All I'm using is ro.mot.phonemode.vzwglobalphone=0

yeah. same as DYP said.
i choosed to edit the build.prop to change 7 to 3 in the network ...and thats it.
the link from "- I flashed the radio from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=1189727"
si not good

Ye I'm also using stock radio

well..
Hey!
i choosed to edit the build.prop to change 7 to 3 in the network ...and thats it.
if it works for you great ! but it just preselects instead global now UMTS/GSM.... actually it should have worked before already - you woul dhave just to select the setting in the menu.
Maybe my Verizon has a different Kernel or Rom or whatever... if you check the Forum there are a lot of people having issues and it seems some have got things worked easily.
Just to give you the internal details:
my Kernel:2.6.35.7-g5fa4155
[email protected] #1
anyway.. if other one can make things happen without changing the system.. cool !!

Mine says 2.6.35.7-g790a33c

My Droid 3 does not connect well to the 3G network in the UK either, even after all the modifications to build.prop. If I had not obsessively needed a physical keyboard, I would have jump ship to the Galaxy Nexus!

I had this but it was because I had an old SIMcard. Wouldn't let me save APNs.
Got a new simcard and voila

It's not that my phone can't connect to and get 3G. It's just that the connection is fairly unstable.

[2 May 2013] [APP] WiFi Tether - Eclipse Mod

I have created a modified version of WiFi Tether for Root Users that is available on Google Play Store. I have recompiled it from source and forced device profile to 'passion' so it now works on HTC HD2 out of the box without the need of modifying default settings.
Usage
download attached RAR
enable installation of apps from "Unknown sources" in Settings > Applications
manually install app using file explorer from SD card or push APK to /data/app using ADB
Download
WifiRouter.rar
Source code
Repository is located on GitHub.

Like a strong support TerrificSupport
:good::good::good::good::good::good:

Thank you very much.
It's work very well.
You instal you run and it work with my hd2 and my galaxy tab 10.1 P7500.
No more need setting the app.
Thanks you again

you're welcome

re
hay daekin
i have insert your modded wifi tether in my JB 4.2.2 AOKP/CARBON rom and have test this. your app works well with non problem or mistakes.
great jo my friend.
i have see your github from this app and have see thats you have insert only the passion device? right?
this.device = DEVICE_PASSION; // Overrides: android.os.Build.DEVICE; //NativeTask.getProp("ro.product.device");
the rest is only your sign? right?
many thanks for this great job....
can i work with your wifi tether in my rom´s please ????
pixelfreak

Yes, that is the trick. Also I have altered app name and raised version number so it will never get overriden from Play Store. I left package name the same.
About usin in your ROMs: sure you can use it. I do not prohibit using of my work (like some so-called devs do). I published it to help the community so let it serve you well.

Hi, why no mac spoofing ?

Hi Daekin, i tried to use the app on a s3 i9300 with ldroid rom 4.4.4 installed. Profile was set to Galaxy S3 and setup method to auto, but the starting log always say configuring ap and starting ap failed. All other log entrys are successful. Which profile should I use, or where else could be the problem? Hope you're still here and can help.
Thanks

First 4.2 kernel

Well I got permission from zarboz to use this kernel, but having problems with WiFi. Tried with sun_dream sense 5. Tried wiping cache and factory reset still same problem going to try on stock. Well tried on medusa Rom same problem. Must be in kernel. Any help would be appreciated and welcomed.

The more info we can gather the easier it will be to find a fix for this. So if someone can test this out and give us some feedback, thank you very much .

Is there any other kernel for this phone that has WiFi working? Maybe I could try to get the WiFi piece from the good one and put it into this one.

The medusa and sense 5 would I just replace all WiFi references.

after flashing this kernel, could you do this for me:
1. Flash UKM http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/zip-synapse-script-universal-kernel-t2736986
2. Install "synapse" (its an app), reboot
3. Go into synapse, you should now be able to configure the kernel (if you still cant, refer to the link above).
4. Post screenshots of EVERYTHING
5. Upload your build.prop (/system/)
i wish i had a first i could go through the file system myself.
Edit:
Hopefully stock android filesystems stay the same from version to version. im on 5.0 at the moment on my nexus but try some of these things too:
1: delete this folder /data/misc/wifi/ And /data/misc/dhcp and system/etc/wifi reboot. (try deleting 1, then reboot, then if it doesnt work, delete the first 2 folders, reboot, if that doesnt work, delete all 3. try different combos).
(and/or)
2: force stop Bluetooth Share (i think you can go to apps>all> and find it there. reboot
3: drain the battery to 0. like make sure the thing is DEAD and wont boot even into recovery. let it sit for some time. plug in your charger and turn it on at the same time.
here is some additional info. if you want to try this. go right a head!

Hello all!
I registered here so that i could share a possible solution to the stuck wifi problem. On my nexus the BT was also stuck most of the time.
Been having the problem for about two weeks and was about to do a clean install and, if the problem persisted, call Google support. Thing is, I had the feelling it was software related and that the hardware was ok.
I´m not sure if BT, Wifi and NFC use the same hardware but the fact was that wifi worked for a few days, BT for a few more and NFC was always functional.
I did some extensive research thru the web and it seemed that this problem was not nexus unique and seemed to be related with wpa_supplicant.conf or wpa_supplicant in the bin file.
On this page, mind you the text is pretty old and not entirely android related:
http:_//_blog.linuxconsulting.ro_/2010/04/porting-wifi-drivers-to-android._html (I can't post links yet so just copy past and remove spacing)
I found this little snippet that caught my attention:
Seems that you can add ap_scan=1 to your wpa_supplicant.conf depending on the drivers you have.
After some more research on the subject of ap_scan i found that:
It seems that addind ap_scan=1 imposes that wpa_supplicant.conf handles the scanning and AP selection. IF there's something wrong with the driver, and not with wpa_supplicant as i originaly thought, this could bypass the problem.
So I added ap_scan=1 just before the device identification lines in wpa_supplicant.conf, reeboted, and now the wifi and bluetooth toggle normaly. I've tried ap_scan=0 (the driver handles the scanning) and the problem returns, so ap_scan=1 does allow you to toggle the wifi and BT on.
I can't yet verify that the phone actually connects to a wireless network and has the same stability and range as before as I'm at work and there's no wireless here.
Therefore I ask for your help to verify this "fix" and thoughts on this.
Sorry if the post is a mess. Both english and programming aren´t my native languages...
My device is a Nexus 5 with stock 4.4.4 KitKat and root.
Greets.
---------- Post added at 10:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 AM ----------
So, quick update:
Managed to find an wireless network around and connected to it. Some time later, no sure how much, the phone rebooted.
Some time after that the wifi and Bt were stuck again. Accessed wpa_supplicant.conf and deleted the new wireless network information. Rebooted and all was functional again.
Seems the fix is incomplete as any rewrite of the wpa_supplicant.conf reinduces the initial problematic behaviour...
____________________ Extra Update_______________________
Ok, so it seems that the wpa_supplicant.conf is suposed to have ap_scan=1 by default.
After boot and when I connect to a wifi network my file resets and shows without ap_scan=1 and instead of:
ctrl_interface=wlan0
its
ctrl_interface=data/misc/wifi/sockets
Wifi with a conf. like this never works. If I manualy "correct" the file and reboot, the wifi toogles on, but after a wifi connect gets busted up again.
by now I've done:
- copy wpa_supplicant (the bin file) from a stock 4.4.4
- Check file permissions for all wpa_supplicant files
- dirty flash the stock build (it's my original build so less harm done i guess)
- 2 Clean installs
- 6 factory resets
And the problem persists.
I've called google support and they are sending a new phone as we speak. Now I'm not sure if it's a software or hardware problem (maybe a combination of the two?) but I figured it would be better to reroll a device instead of trying to fix this one as this problem is cleary out of my league.
Thank you all!
