Cyanogenmod 5.0.5.3 - Wireless_tether 2.0_pre8 (and older)

I just loaded my AT&T version with cyanogen 5.0.5.3, and the wireless tether app does not work.
No matter the security settings I use, it always shows unsecure network on my laptop (OSX, Ubuntu and Vista).. If I set it to unsecure in the app, it still does not connect.
I have never used it before, but I am assuming the cyanogenmod kernel has the required bits for the app to work properly.
Am I missing something stupid?
Thanks

you may want to adb push method or adb install -r method instead. reboot after install. or try my rom linked in signature.
if you don't know how to use sdk's adb, do a search here on xda for one of the many basic tutorials or ask for details.

Will do adb.. I have the linux sdk..
Thanks, will post back with results..

OK, installing with adb has the same effect.
There are posts from the google code pages where this has happened in the past (last year though), so I doubt related..
Out of ideas...!

This is with WEP set.. It must have something to do with wpa_supplicant somewhere.. I'll keep digging...

maybe it might have something to do with atnt not able to do it throught there network. like us tmobile users can use data while on the phone? dont know alot but that could be a possibility

Nah, wpa_supplicant is not negotiating wep for some reason. I just replace the wpa_supplicant.conf file with a very generic open key WEP config and it still does not work..
I need to dig through my broadcom nda's and find this chip, and see if I can use the firmware.. I'll just load it up in AP mode and run hostapd and be done with it....
Ad-Hoc just plain sucks, almost as much as wep...

lmgtfy.com - that was awesome - my family members are gonna feel like idiots asking me questions now!
I had not heard of that site before.

Regarding wep-encryption & CM 5.0.5.x:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=292
So, wep-encryption is broken (no idea why) on the latest cyanogenmod-build. Please use CM 5.0.4.1 - it works flawlessly there.
I will take a closer look the next days ... but it's hard to tell what is causing this - I don't know which changes were made on CM.
By the way ... why was this topic moved to Q&A
This is definitely an issue which needs to be solved and should stay in development!

Thanks - I googled for quite a while, and never came across that info. Tethering is not that critical (unless I am travelling), so I will just wait for a fix sometime.
I would have figured other in this forum would have hit it though?!?!?
-G

I've installed 5.0.5.3 and downgraded the kernel which came with 5.0.4.1 - and it start working again! So, I would say that this issue is related to the latest kernel (2.6.33.1)!
I've created an issue on cyanogemod:
http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=1217

i have wifi tether pre 8 on latest CM mod and its working great, wep works, and no errors in log.

I am having the same problem. I have both a nexus one and motor milestone. Tethering on milestone doesn't have problems but my nexus can't seem to connect as well no Sep security. I can see the my SSID, anyone can help?

There are obviously factors that differ between devices somehow. I too can change kernels and the issue goes away. Something is "missing" somewhere. A git pulled vanilla 2.6.33 kernel works just fine when booting the zimage from fastboot..
I have not looked at the cyanogen .config or wireless module source yet to see any modifications that would effect it...
I'm more interested in the module working in AP mode now that the driver supports it, and have been working on that...

VPN Connections (Cisco VPN)

Have this working well and thought this info may help others...
First, your phone needs to be rooted and busybox properly installed. If you've rooted in the past few days, you're fine as the current payload-update.zip does install busybox with all of the links, but if you rooted early please confirm this before continuing.
Next, grab the tun.ko module from the OpenVPN thread.
Then follow the instructions for the Motorola Droid at the VPN Connections site, using the tun.ko you downloaded previously. The one caveat here is that you have to copy the module in recovery on the Incredible as we don't yet have rw access to the /system partition when booted normally.
Once you've restarted your phone after installing tun.ko, just install the latest VPN Connections apk and you're ready to go!
One point that confused me (for longer than I care to admit) is that once you create a VPN profile, you have to long-press on it to bring up the menu for connect/disconnect.
Enjoy!
Dave

which vpn connections. I downloaded latest from the store it opened but did not work.
then tried the latest from the site and it forces close. I'll start over tonight and try again.

I was working on this the other day, but I cannot get the phone to connect to my company's VPN - I setup the IPSEC ID/PW correctly as well as my user IP/PW, but I get an ISAKMP_N_AUTHENTICATION_FAILED. The one thing I didn't do was copy tun.ko in recovery mode - I just did a modprove /sdcard/tun.ko...it didn't complain and it seems like VPN Connections can find the device node without a problem.
On my linux box, I can run the same config options in vpnc and connect no problem...

I got it working after a couple days playing with it. My problem was that I had not installed busybox to xbin like their instructions outlined since it was already installed to sbin. once installed to xbin and proper permissions were granted, it worked like a charm.

Please someone post a complete how to. I cannot get this working. Busybox will not "--install" to xbin
Is there a secrete to getting busybox installed? I know this is weak sauce, but I need help.

Did you try installing busybox while in recovery mode?

where do I install busybox? /system/xbin or sbin?

I've got it in both places. It needs to be in xbin for the vpnc-script. I tried modifying the vpnc-script but running in to too many problems.

Those to configured their ASA
I am trying to setup the ASA for this VPN. Numerous vague (to me) unresolved errors. Phase 1 completes (easy).
Phase 2 Failure: Mismatched attribute types for class Encapsulation Mode: Rcv'd: Tunnel Cfg'd" Transport
Group = <group>, Username = <username>, IP = <IP Address>, All IPSec SA proposals found unacceptable!
" " Duplicate Phase 2 packet detected. No last packet to retransmit.
I am not finding the answers to these issues. I have not been working on VPNs for long but have setup A LOT of client (Any Connect & SSL) VPNs. I tried to "match" those configurations and have failed.
Anyone know of a tut they used to set the VPN up on the Firewall side? Im sure one of these guys I work w/ can set it up in mins but learning the hard way is what "they" prefer. < a week later is enough, I concede!

Console output?
It think I followed all the necessary steps but wanted to confirm somehow. Is there any ways to see the log on what VPN Connect is trying to do and why login fails?

check group password!
I know about the comment to check the group password, but I copy and pasted it so I know it is correct. Any suggestions? Do I copy the busy box from sbin to xbin or do I need to look for another busybox, where do you recommend me getting it form? Sorry for the noob questions.

Ok So I looked and found that the Procudures I followed for Rooting didn't actually copy busybox to xbin so maybe the first post should be updated to mention to check that xbin actually has busybox. I used the same busybox that was included in the rooting guide.
Now I'm at a different error.
Error binding to source port. Try '--local-port 0'
Failed to bind to 0.0.0.0:500: Address already in use

that's fine, it means you probably have another process of vpnc running that didn't terminate. just ad --local-port 0 to the end of your command line.

So how is your ASA configured? Is it the latest software or 8.2? ???

Not sure. I just know that the Admin can connect with his Cyanogen Modded G1 and it works great for him. He has his NAND fully unlocked of coarse.
Thanks for all the help I'll post my next issue tomorrow.

Following this thread that was linked for helping to get this working on the Incredible.
I'm getting a constant "unable to connect" error... Where do I need to enable logging to find out more about where the error is happening at? On my ASA or on the Incredible?
Thanks.

I've never got it working but if you look above you'll see how I ran this thin in adb shell. That will output everything to console and tell you what is wrong.

[Q] How to change Bluetooth MAC Address in CyanogenMod 7 ??

The title says it all
If everyone knows it, please tell me!
Thanks in advance
WingZero

I'll reply myself.
In a CM7 ROM It's enough to open "terminal emulator" and type:
su
bdaddr [new bluetooth address] && hciconfig hci0 reset
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and it worked.

Follow up on altering the BT mac address
I'm in a situation where I have two Arias both on CM7.2 now, checked and they have the same BT mac address. I'm trying to pair them to a Panasonic home phone that can connect via BT to the cell. It will take one or the other but not both. I think if I change the mac on one of them I'll be in good shape.
Did it matter what you changed it to? Did you roll back to the stock ROM and see what that was to make it correct for your device or just pick something random? Thanks!
Edit: I followed the steps but it didn't keep my new address when I reset the phone. Any thoughts?

WiFi connectivity problem

Hi,
I’m from Portugal and I’ve bought a Mi5 some days ago.
I have a problem for which I don’t find any solution.
The phone came with a modified fake ROM from the Chinese store but was working fine.
I unlocked the phone and installed TWRP to flash other ROMs. I flashed MIUI 8 global stable and a custom ROM from Xiaomi.eu without any problem.
Everything was working fine with the phone but I noticed that a lot of files from prior fake ROM (the one from the Chinese store) remained in the phone. So I decided to swipe everything in TWRP (including system and internal storage) and flashed MIUI Global Stable ROM again.
From this point, I never again been able to connect to a WiFi network and the 2G, 3G LTE connection became very weak and instable. The phone scan the wifi network available without problem, but after introducing the password, it tries to connect and just shows “Saved”.
I tried a lot of stuff. Static IP, reboot router, change router channel, change router security settings, flash different ROM, tweak build.prop file, but the problem persist.
In the phone test menu, when I try to connect to a WiFi I see that the phone scan, connect, disconnect, scan, connect, disconnect…
Any help?
Do you think it’s Hardware related issue? Or phone firmware and driver problem?
I’ll be very grateful for any assistance.

Hello
Yesterday I got the phone and I have exactly the same situation. Tried the same things, also flashing RR Nougat, RR Marshmallow, MIUI 7 and 8. Wifi isn't working in any situation. Did you solve it? Anyone have some ideas with it?

try another ROM
Just try the ROM "cm-13.0-20161211-NIGHTLY-gemini" .
My mi5 had the same problem when I got it, so I try unlock, bootloader, new cm14 rom, even went to change sim card, cause can't access 4G, still no luck. Then I backed to official ROM, factory reset, still have wifi and 4G problem. Finally after try the cm13 ROM, every thing became fine. It took me 5 days to resolved it.
FYI, mi5 's wifi signal strength is poor than others as so many complain you can see on the miui forum.

Tried that CM build, still nothing. I found in dev tools option to debug WIFI, and all the time I have RSSI of -127, even if I'm literally 1m from source (also I tried many sources). I'm out if ideas. Also It's not reception problem, because original ROM (like OP, probably fake global MIUI) had WIFI working just fine for me.

I have exactly the same situation.
I'll try the ROM "cm-13.0-20161211-NIGHTLY-gemini".
Thanks!!!

Unfortunately, this ROM did not work for me either. :crying:

Thank you very much!!!

Try Xiaomi.eu 8.1.7.0 Nougat.
It's working for me, but my wifi wont connect in CM/ AOSP ROM

Hello friend, do you have the link for me to download this ROM?
Many thanks for helping.

I had the same problem, same symptoms.
I too flashed a new ROM and couldn't connect to any AP, I tried various ROMS, MIUI 7 & 8 and CM 13 & 14.1.
Though I think I found a solution (it worked for me ). I simply changed my MAC-adress and I was able to connect to my home WiFi.
I'm running CM 14.1-2016225-NIGHTLY-gemini on MI5.
This is what I did to fix my WiFi:
First prepare an new MAC-address. I personally don't know when a MAC-address is considered valid, so I just took one from an other device. I used the mac address of my previous mobile phone, which could connect to my router.
1. Disable WiFi.
3. Enable debugger settings (Setting>about Phone>Press build number repeatedly).
2. Enable root (Develepor settings>root access set to "Apps and ADB").
3. Open the file manager app.
4. Give the file manager app root access (menu>Settings(cog in lower left corner)>General settings>Access mode set this on "Root Access mode").
5. Now find the file root/etc/firmware/wlan/qca_cld/ and open wlan_mac.bin.
You should see something similar to:
Code:
Intf0MacAddress=XXXXXXXXXXXX
Intf1MacAddress=XXXXXXXXXXXX
END
6. Change the first to your new MAC-address, but first write down the old one, so you can change it back if this method doesn't work for you.
The last X of the next line should be a digit higher than the previous line. E.g:
Code:
Intf0MacAddress=957FDC328BF[B]4[/B]
Intf1MacAddress=957FDC328BF[B]5[/B]
END
(This MAC-address most likely won't work).
7. Save the file. You might need to press the save button a few times.
8. Check if the file has changed.
9. Check if you MAC-address has changed (Settings>WiFI>Configure-WIFI(cog in right upper corner)).
10. Enable WiFi.
I hope this works for everyone that has the same problem.

I'll try this procedure too, thank you very much Pekkuky.
I'll be back to talk if it fired, thanks for the help.

I tried to install the ROM that bajak85 suggested and it did not work for me, however I tried the procedure that pekkuky taught in ROM Xiaomi.eu 8.1.7.0 Nougat (ROM that bajak85 suggested) and it started to work, changing the MAC address worked for me too.
I did exactly as taught by Pekkuky and tried with another randomly generated MAC. That also worked.
Thank you all for the help and thank you very much Pekkuky, saved my life with this tip.

Hello, did you make sure that the MAC address was actually changed? In my case, a reboot was necessary for the modification to take effect.

Good luck. :good::good:

How to change MAC address

Hi everyone,
I have just rooted my mi9 and wanted to use apk changeMacAddress to be able to connect in my man to a tv network (in fact it's related to my old smartphone with his Mac address) but I can't change it.
How can I do this?
Thanks

I find folder containing mac address but i didnt succeed to update the mac address, its located on /data/vendor/mac_addr/wlan_mac.bin
in fact after a reboot the original mac address is reset to the factory one.
How can i force to use the updated mac address ?
which daemon update those file ?
thanks for your help
PS : i updated to the latest TWRP from [RECOVERY][MI9] TWRP 3.3.1-7 by siankatabg to decrypt the folders and scan the FS.

Hi Bro . please help to force mac address

I guess you don't know what the mac address is

Sorry for reviving old thread, just in case anybody interested in solution, leave alone /data/vendor/mac_addr/wlan_mac.bin and create /mnt/vendor/persist/wlan_mac.bin (or wherever persist is mounted) with a line wlan0=(desired mac address) and reboot. (At least should work with xiaomi devices)
