OpenVPN on Galaxy S Plus I9001

Hi there!
I hope, this is the correct subforum......
Have anyone installed OpenVPN on the Galaxy S Plus I9001 any have a
good discription for me to do this?
Hope, you can help me!
Thanks for this, maze-m

Q&A section is here, please don't post questions here in development section or they will either not be answered or deleted...

Here's how I did it:
1. Root your phone using KeksFlip's excellent supereasy guide
2. Install Busybox. I used BusyBox Installer by JRummy16 from the Market and installed the latest version in /system/xbin.
3. Install OpenVPN Installer and and OpenVPN Settings from the Market.
4. Run OpenVPN Installer and install into /system/xbin. When it asks you for the location of BusyBox, say /system/xbin/bb
5. Create symlinks of ipconfig and route inside /system/xbin/bb:
a) Enable USB debugging mode (Settings -> Applications -> Development) and connect your phone to your PC via USB. You will need the adb.exe commandline tool form KeksFlip's rooting guide.
b)
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
$ su
# mkdir /system/xbin/bb
# ln -s /system/xbin/ipconfig /system/xbin/bb/ipconfig
# ln -s /system/xbin/route /system/xbin/bb/route
6. Upload your OpenVPN configuration files and keys to your phone and put them in /sdcard/openvpn
7. You will need a TUN kernel driver module. I have attached the one I made for my kernel to this post. If your kernel version is 2.6.35.7-perf, you can use it otherwise you will need a different one. Put the tun.ko file in /sdcard/openvpn.
8. Run OpenVPN Settings and under Menu -> Advanced configure the following:
Code:
- Load tun kernel module ✓
- TUN module settings
- Load module using: insmod
- Path to tun module: /sdcard/openvpn/tun.ko
9. Start your VPN connection
Good luck!

I have samsung Galaxy S Plus phone (firmware I9001XXKPF), I want to build a module tun.
tell me plz the link where to download the source code for kernel 2.6.35.7-perf (androind 2.3.5) to compile the module yourself.

Hi, I rooted my Galaxy S Plus using KeksFlip's guide. I then tried to install OpenVPN dbx4's method. However I got stuck at adb remount:
Code:
D:\temp\adb>adb remount
remount failed: Operation not permitted
D:\temp\adb>adb shell
$ su
su
# mkdir /system/xbin/bb
mkdir /system/xbin/bb
mkdir failed for /system/xbin/bb, Read-only file system
#
Is there anything I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!

You have to remount the system-filesystem on GT-i9001 yourself in adb shell:
mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p15 /system
When you're done, mount read only again:
mount -o ro,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p15 /system

Can anyone tell me why the module fails to insert even though it's the same kernel number?
"init_module tun.ko failed (exec format error).
I have the same problem with cifs.ko that is also built for my phone's kernel.

[Q] After installing custom rom - Phone isn't rooted

Hey all, I rooted my phone using SuperOneClick, Was fine, restarted my phone all good. Then I decided to install a custom rom, That also worked all fine except now that I've installed it, my phone seems to not be rooted (I checked using root checker before installing rom and after, said it was rooted before, But now it says it's not rooted) What could be causing this? I've repaired it and started over 3 times with the same result. Could someone please shed some light? Thank you.

Try with other custom rom....maybe rom that you installed causing it

Some roms like, per exemple, HAKA's Original W8 Room aren't rooted!
Try another rom or, try rooting that rom

Oh ok, thanks for the reply, tried rerooting, it ended up going to not responding, I have access to system files, the su file is there, but I don't know about the other files that allow the device to be rooted. Is there some way I can copy and paste the rest of the su binary's? The ROM came with super user app so I just assumed it was rooted.

[SOLVED] Lost root and busybox on CM7.1

Hi I'm using CM7.1 and it works well, then I noticed most apps that need root access stopped working.
root explorer won't even launch, rom manager can't run any command, but terminal and SSH tunnel works fine.
So I installed root checker, witch says 'you have root access' but check results are 'permission denied'
Here is the result:

I've had my verizon droid bionic rooted for a few months now on ICS using razors edge. Then I used Voodoo OTA root to temp unroot and updated to Jellybean. I restored root and everything was fine. So then I tried to install busy box after, but superuser wouldn't come up. So I deleted superuser and reinstalled it. Now Root checker says I don't have proper root access. (Also root browser still works fine) All other apps instead of having a su prompt they say I'm not rooted. Whats happening to my phone?

Try rebooting.

If rebooting it doesn't work, it might be because when installing the busybox something on the System side messed up. The only way to fix this would be to HOB with Data and the re-rooting the device. Everything which can be found through this link Here. If you don't run a Linux distro this can be ran off of a Live USB setup. You can make a simple one using a 4 or 8 gig USB thumb drive and make sure that you let it make some space for updates and adding files. I would keep this around just for the fact that you don't need any specific drivers to run on Linux like you need on Windows. There are treads that have instructions on using Windows to get this done, but I would say that Ubuntu would be the best way to accomplish anything. Best of Luck.

Would it brick if I flashed it using RSD Lite? Just wondering because I've done that before and am familiar with it. If not, yes I do have Windows, not Linux, so I can try the HOB.

I would stick with the HOB just to keep the data. The only route I have found that will successfully re root it is done with Linux. It can be done running Linux on a thumb drive as long as there was space created for updates.

If that doesn't work and you need restore it to JB, here are the relevant links:
FXZ files for Bionic:

RSD Lite Example (not for bionic, but gets you some of the links you'll need):

If you want to try it from linux, fastboot from linux:

And if you need to root once you flash your JB stock image, you'll need something like this:

5. Install SuperSU(Chainfire) from Play Store.
6. Open SuperSU and update SU binary. I saw a message to disable KNOX. I did it
7. Install CWM Touch.
Then I installed other apps that need SU - Triangle Away, Titanium Backup. These apps worked fine for me. I went ahead and froze bloatware.
** Credit goes to all those hardworking folks who stay ahead in the game **
—------------------------------------------------------
I know this is an old problem and has been answered many times, i have read all thepossible ways to fix it and i have tried, over and over but I'm missing something.
Please help.
I rooted with Supersu, it worked for 2days then stopped. Now all the root apps can't work and i have tried everything to make it work, to no avail. Here is a copy of my Root hecker:

_----------------------
So my device is rooted, but i don't have permission. Tried to copy .su file from xbin to bin, not possible.
Uninstalled reinstalled, unrooted rerooted, reinstalled SuperSu from playstore.
Made sure no double superuser programs running.
Got rid of Knox.
Tried to custom install Supersu update, says invalid certificate.
I extracted SuperSU.zip and tried to copy the .su file to \bin but also didn't work.
I believe if i can copy the .su file in \xbin to \bin the permissions wil be there. Bought Rootbrowser but error when copying. Or give permission on file SetUID.
Can't run Bootbox cause didn't install before root stopped working. Also Titanium backup stopped working now.
Any ideas how to fix? Don't want to factory reset. Can't be to difficult to fix. Any help will be appreciated this is the first time I have rooted.
PS. If this post is in the wrong place please advise where itshould be.
Thanks
