[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.
http://bit.ly/wDDT0

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.

Motosense for milestone.

Im not sure if the dev is a member of xda
but he had successfully booted a HTC desire rom.
here is the direct link.
http://modmymobile.com/forums/401-m...ge-motosense-htc-sense-ui-port-milestone.html
and video on youtube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhWPP6ddhE8&feature=channel
According to him
Working
- Radio (Calls,GPRS,HSPA)
- USB
- Bluetooth
- Milestone bootup AC charging
- Wireless (Only static IP address.
DHCP is faulty at this stage)
- most apps from HTC and Motorola
(most untested)
- MilestoneOverClock v1.32
- SetCPU 1.54
- Sam2
- apps_installer
- MarketEnabler
- Camera
Not Working
- PINCODE (will not be able to enter any pincode or boot normal)
- GPS (at least not seen it working)
- DHCP for wireless
Update: According to his reply on youtube " i think going to modmymobile (.com) will explain it all..
but yes, right now i got the camera working as well, leaving just GPS not working and pincode setup."
All credits goes to the Dev (dext3r).

The last thread was about same topic...

Yes! except that these links i have given are made by other dev on another forum.
and was made possible 10-12 hrs ago only.

Looks pretty amazing. I don't know if I have the guts to try that on my Telus Milestone. I would probably lose 3G (but Fido at least has EDGE too). Maybe I'll just wait that out for now.
I wonder though, in another thread I was told:
DAGr8 said:
cmstlist , there is an easy way to retain your baseband just flash the HK sbf , then , copy paste these files and make sure you set the permissions correctly .
Probably safest to do via adb if you dont make sure you reboot ...
for the 3G baseband Hack/Swistch it 5 files from /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default
File_Audio , File_Audio2 , File_GSM , File_Seem_Flex_Tables , generic_pds_init
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So perhaps if you want to try Motosense on your Telus Milestone, then you should backup these 5 files (and take note of the permissions) before flashing the nandroid image. Then afterwards if 3G doesn't work on the Motosense image, restore the same 5 files.
I would imagine Titanium Backup might be a viable way here to copy most of your app data from stock to Motosense.
Still... how in the world... was this accomplished?

no offense to all the programmers and the so called 'real hackers'
this was done using methods the above mentioned usually despised and mostly dismissed/ disregard .
common sense , risk , guts and of course a good UNIX understanding
btw there s a fixed 'new' version out at link is at motorolafans.com as well as in page 4 of the thread at M3 ( modmymobile.com)

Can you keep us posted about the developments of this?
since you are the other half of Dext3r in porting the Motosense, i sure hope people here will appreciate it very much.
Anyway, can this be done in a Telus Milestone?

looks very interesting, i know that nexus one. 2.2 is out now, so is it possible to get the 2.2 froyo from there and then load via the same method, this would mean flash and maybe the wifi may work?

[rom] miui 1.12.2

This rom is based from zukriaksah's miui 1.12.16. His had a good foundation just some issue. I have made some changes to it and so far things are working (keep in mind that this has not been tested for a little more than 2 days).
Link https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B6a1DYyFKfu1YjI4MDg0YTEtZGExOC00ZGZkLTg4MGEtMmM0Y2ZjYTQwYzlh
(sorry file are on work pc and this is the only way that I can get them up...so if some one can move to a better site for downloading...pls feel free to do so)
you will have issues with wifi on this rom - the work around that I used it to load cacingkalung's modded version of the sd kernel...get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20326475&postcount=240
had to change the build.prop this phone keep rebooting with some of the files that I had to switch out. I used files from tj and issac.
usb and headphone issues are gone (so far)
added the miui 4-way reboot (hold power button for options)
the fm radio that is in the rom fc's (wish someone can fix this..I am at a loss, I know that it has to be a driver issue but I have no clue which one have been searching for weeks it seems to correct this...I really miss the radio)
added some init.d tweaks...these are found in the various forums here on xda
you might have to load script manager to get them to work (I load this anyways so I dont know if it is needed)
what I added to the init.d:
10cpu - sets the cpu values and govenor
11 iosched - set i/o scheduler
both of these you do not need if you use setcpu or other program like it...I just dont like to have these loaded they take up space and memory.
80netspeed - internet speed hack (helped on mine)
97ks - some kernel mods - helps rom run smoother in my opinion
98kt - internal task killer values
you dont need these you can remove them...play around with the settings you might be able to tweak the rom more to you liking...these are the values that worked best for me
I dont have much of a clue on the battery life yet...have had phone up and down so much that I have not let it go threw my daily pace
So far things seem stable...still no HDMI, dont know if we will ever have this...I am not that good with dev have look at other roms but if the drivers aint right it wont work
I also use force2sd to move the programs to the sdcard to free up the internal memory...everytime that I have tried to include apps2sd thing go wrong..this way works for me so I am not going to worry about it
you will probably get unknown for the carrier...if you know your spn values you can edit it and the name will show up...there are progams in the market that will fix it...other have had luck with out needing a program...In the miui forums they have miui extra setting and they say that you can use it to change the carrier name (never tried)
make sure that you do a system wipe before installing....I dont know what issue you will get if you dont

hey COWSGO..... really thanks for the this beautiful ROM.
quite smooth ...... experience .....
really happy with the ROM.
next time when you update the ROM with Bluetooth wish following update also ....
1. Camera if possible (Front)
2. Time should be at center of status bar like what you did with 1.12.2
3. FM if you able to repair ....
enjoy your holidays .....

Dont know if anybody has gps issues or proximity issues....I did....this is what I did to solve this
use root explorer goto system\lib\hw and rename two files to .old
the files are gps.fb0.so and sensors.fb0.so
then goto settings click programs and goto call settings and turn off enforce proximity (what ever the option is under use proximity sensor
reboot....after I did this the sensor works with incoming and outgoing calls and the gps locks in under 30 seconds. used gps status from the market to confirm...dont for get the you might have to edit the gps.conf file in system\etc (I think)...if you didnt edit this file after you loaded the rom then it will be set for north-america.
dont know why this worked....has to be a issue in the files...when I get more time I am going to decompile them to see what is different

Kexec GSM information and files

GSM USER INFORMATION FOR KEXEC ROM​
It seems there is a lot of confusion about using the rom on GSM networks... false information about requiring build.props, flashing radios, etc. so I will give some general information...
EITHER METHOD; THE PHONE MUST BE UNLOCKED WITH EITHER AN UNLOCK CODE FROM VERIZON OR BOUGHT FROM A 3RD PARTY SOURCE.
FOR DROID 3 XT862 ONLY, XT860 REQUIRES A PATCH FOR RADIO DRIVERS.
UPDATE; ATTACHED PATCH TO THIS POST, UNTESTED BY ME, ASK OTHER USERS IN THE THREAD FOR SUPPORT, I DO NOT OWN AN XT860.​
USING NON-US "FOREIGN" GSM NETWORKS​
Radio;
Stock XT862 radio
build.prop;
Default included build.prop (Edit lines ro.mot.phonemode.vzwglobalphone=1 and ro.telephony.default_network=7 IF REQUIRED to ro.mot.phonemode.vzwglobalphone=0 and ro.telephony.default_network=3 respectively. )
MAY NOT BE REQUIRED TO EDIT THESE LINES
Required options;
Under Wireless & Networks section; UNCHECK Enable alt OEM and Enable Alternate getIMSI, then CHECK Enable World Phone and Enable GSM Signal.
Reboot the phone.
Back in the menu; select mobile network settings, change Network Mode to GSM/WCDMA, check/add/edit your APNs.
NO FLASHING/MODIFIED BUILD.PROP REQUIRED (except mentioned build.prop edits which are NOT required, just cosmetic, might not be needed)​
USING US GSM NETWORKS (AT&T, T-MOBILE, Etc)​
Radio;
XT883 radio (Baseband n_34.18.16s)
build.prop;
Edited build.prop attached to this post. (No editing required, remove .zip from the end)
Required options;
Same as above.​
Follow instructions on flashing the radio here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406812
Use the radio img I uploaded here; http://www31.zippyshare.com/v/98608047/file.html (It's newer than provided in previous link)
Copy the attached build.prop (make sure to backup original) to /system and set permissions rw-r--r-- (644) remove .zip (it is not an actual zip)
MUST FLASH XT883 RADIO AND COPY BUILD.PROP, ELSE NO SIGNAL, PHONE NUMBER, BASEBAND, ETC.​
Personally I use a Droid 3 XT862 on Straight Talk's SIM BYOP plan with an AT&T version SIM, I get HSPA 14.4 network and average ~5 to 5.50Mbps download speed. Only issues are known issues with the phone, everything radio related works flawless.
MMS ON GSM WORKS.
Just remember to include "mms" in the APN type, or as required by your carrier.
Just for information; If your data seems unstable, you can try my ril lines in build.prop that seems to have stabilized my data (Tested on MavROM on Straight Talk) these are ALREADY INCLUDED on the attached build.prop.
ro.ril.enable.3g.prefix=1
ro.ril.hep=0
ro.ril.hsxpa=5
ro.ril.enable.dtm=1
ro.ril.gprsclass=12
ro.ril.hsdpa.category=28
ro.ril.enable.a53=1
ro.ril.hsupa.category=6
The main line here is "ro.ril.hep=0" all other lines are not required and may be placebo. This line seems to be key for making 3g stable, especially data roaming.
UPDATE​
Updated the build.prop using the CM10 Kexec 11-03 as a base to bring it up to the 'latest' and reflect correct system version in system info.
Attached a reported patch to make the radio work on the XT860
Attached CM10.1 build.prop base CM10.1 2013-04-20
Attached CM10.2 build.prop base CM10.2 2013-08-14
REMEMBER TO RENAME THE FILE TO build.prop THEY ARE NOT ACTUAL ZIPS, THEY WILL FAIL TO UNZIP.

As long as your provider has the frequencies for 3G the phone supports.

Must say that I flashed and followed steps and have mav rom 4.5 running on ST w./ att simple and works good. Using safestrap 3.05. Been trying to run cm10.1 3/10 build and a few other older builds of cm10.1 and have not been able to get modded build. Prop to work. Flashed g it in safestrap slot one in this order cm/gapps /build. Prop. It does not boot. If I do not include the modded build. Prop I get it to oot but of course no signal or baseband, phone number ect. Any suggestions? Really would like to fly 422 on this phone.

Which build.prop are you trying to use? The one from the xt883 thread or the one I attached to the OP? The attached build.prop is not a flashable zip, remove the CM10.1.zip and put in /system and chmod 755. Tested on 3/06 and works for me, will be trying to update sometime soon to reflect newer system.

So open cm zip place in system(I know where it goes there) what is chmod 755

Remove the zip extension, its not actually a zip. Chmod 755 is setting proper permissions. At the moment cm10.1 hashcode took out all the world phone stuff, so signal bars are broken, a bit complicated, etc. You can do it for fun, but I suggest to stick with mavrom (I use 4.0, 4.5 is exactly the same except it has overclock scripts, which have a bug and drain battery so I stuck with 4.0) also 4.2.2 still has the issue of not mounting the sd card (I just rebooted to 3/06 and neither internal nor external mounted) so definitely not a daily usage.

Ok so that would explain allot. I was running 4.5 and I can't get over 8hrs usage. Thanks for all the useful info.

Thanks for the thread. Needed a T-Mobile phone and this saved me some money. CDMA phones always seem to come cheaper around me.
Does anyone know how I'm getting 3G on T-Mobile though? I thought it only supported AT&T 3G bands.

Tmobile is currently refarming its umts/hspa network to 1900MHz, which is the same as AT&T, and thus supported by the D3.
This website has user-reported sightings of refarmed areas. This of course is not all of them, feel free to report it yourself if you get 3g in your area and it's not shown.

Could someone mirror the build.props for the stock firmware and the cm10.2? The archives are corrupt when I try to open them.
EDIT: Never mind, it would help if I read though the entire post.

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!

Yeah all end correct. Try the steps I posted to fixing Wi-Fi hopefully it will work
BTW. Are you running android 4.4? I thought HTC first is only 4.1

I built this kernel awhile back use GCC 4.6 so is it 4.4 cause all works on this kernel
