Attached are cifs modules for use with the CIFS Manager application in the market. CIFS Manager lets you mount Windows SMB network shares on your filesystem. This allows you to stream content from Windows to your Xoom without having to download it first.
> You must have rooted your Xoom to install the cifs module and to use CIFS Manager.
> I am not the author of the cifs module or CIFS Manager. I merely compiled up the cifs module from the kernel source for your enjoyment.
There are two different zips attached. Use cifs.zip if you have rooted your Xoom and are running koush's kernel. Use cifs-overclock.zip if you have rooted your Xoom and are using coolbho3000's overclocked kernel.
Copy the cifs.ko module to /system/lib/modules using adb:
Code:
adb remount
adb push cifs.ko /system/lib/modules
adb reboot
Then install the CIFS Manager application and enjoy browsing content on your Windows server.
thanks much
I am just a newb to all this but can someone please explain how to setup cifs to see and work with shares?
Just curious, do I have to use a ADB to get the file there or will root explorer do?

question 1)
- install cifs.ko
- install cifs manager or mount manager
- configure share to mount (server/share user/passwd if required)
and that's it
question 2)
root explorer will work just fine (remember to remount /system as rw)
is this working for anyone since the OTA? module loads for me, but just won't mount.

I wonder if it has anything to do with why busybox can't handle domain names. 'wget' has to have an IP address, it won't resolve a name.
Well I don't use the fqdn just the hostname
# cat /system/etc/hosts
192.168.1.2. samba
mount doesn't use busybody afaik, but interesting thought

Sweet, thanks. Looking forward to trying it out.
I got all of it working but it just stopped. I can't mount anything. Twice I was about to reboot the server and the XOOM and started working again. I can use Scanshares and it can see my server and all the shares.
Will either of these work for any recent kernels? I'm trying to mount but I get "no such device" error.

The cifs module needs to be compiled against your kernel source. So if using a custom kernel ask your developer for a copy.
any chance to have a cfis file for the 3.1 Fw ?
Wondering the same thing -- anyone have any luck finding an updated version for the stock 3.1 kernel?
As a rooted user, on all Tiamat kernels, I found a method to mount my windows drives by doing the following:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036316&highlight=how+to+mount
Be sure to install Busybox (both versions from the market were install on my xoom since it kept asking for it) to make it work. I wrote the instructions using Mount Manager but Cifs Manager works the same.
Shameless thread bump -- anyone have any luck compiling the modules for 3.1 stock?
I'm using the 1.4.4 Tiamat kernel on my US 3G Xoom, and I couldn't use either of the above modules -- I got "invalid module format." I can't update to 3.2 yet, being a 3G user (grumble), so I downloaded the source for the Tiamat kernel 1.4.4 from the Git repository and compiled my own cifs.ko module using Nvidia's Tegra development kit's toolchain. But now it says "Unknown symbol in module or invalid parameter." Better, but still not working. Anybody know what I did wrong?
Are there any news about this?
i'm struggling to stream videos to my 3.1 rooted xoom...
No updatie
Since this requires a rooted Xoom and Tiamat has an awesome kernel that includes these modules, I am not updating them any more.
hi. I installed CM6.1.2 for milestone (thanks doshaska) beta on my milstone (not droid) mainly because I really want to use openvpn .
However there seems no tun/tap module in /system/lib/modules (i first looked /lib/modules hoping modules lies in the normal linux module path) and also can't connect to the openvpn server with the default vpn setting program.dmesg says "Cannot allocate TUN/TAP dev dynamically"
Is the missing tun module the reason ? If so , any possiblity in the future that someone can compile the tun module for the CM6 kernel?
btw, I heard something about 2nd-boot . Is there any possiblity to run a complete new kernel avoiding the the damn locked bootload using the 2nd-boot?
PS: sorry for my poor english....
Hi,
does the HTC One has CIFS support?
So that the CifsManager can be used on a rooted device?
THX
Well the app is showing as compatible on the Play Store, so I'd presume so.
No it does not.
Just because cifs manager can be downloaded doesn't mean it has Cifs support.
You need a custom rom / Kernel for that.
There are two kernels out there claiming cifs support, however I cant get either one to work.

and

Let me know if you get one working.
Update: there is a 3rd Kernel claiming Cifs support.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2229300&highlight=cifs
I will try it our soon.
Any updates on this? Would love to have CIFS support and TAP network driver support. I'm thinking about trying to compile my own kernel modules but I have almost zero experience with doing this...
cifs.ko loads, but no success

I've gotten a cifs module to load on 3.4.10 after modifying the module final version string to reflect my specific kernel (3.4.10-geb45596) but still no success. I had success doing the exact same thing on my old EVO, but CifsManager on the HTC One throws "invalid argument", and the mount command (via terminal) says "no device", although lsmod confirms that cifs is loaded.
Any advice is welcome.
I'm also stuck trying to get CIFS.
Can you flash any kernel, regardless of ROM, or does it have to match? I'm using an Android Revolution HD GPE ROM, which doesn't appear to have CIFS support ("invalid argument", cifs.ko nowhere to be found in the filesystem according to ES File Explorer, /proc/filesystems/cifs (or something like that) does not exist, etc).
Maybe I could just flash one of the above kernels and see if it works, or does it not work like that, i.e. it has to be integrated with the ROM?
Hi,
I tried to mount files from my local NAS, but it does not work anymore. I used CIFS Manager in the past and it always worked fine. Now I have a new Phone with Android 4.2.2 ( Stock) and it doesn't work anymore. I am not sure, but it might be a Kernel related problem?
I already tried these .ko modules from post #5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33498303#post33498303
but I think this is beyond my knowlodge. It's not working on my phone.
The error: "Invalid argument" pops up every time it tries to connect.
Is there a way to get this working? I suppose there is no alternative kernel yet than stock?
Cheers
Use AndSMB
Try AndSMB, I had the exact same problem with the invalid argument crap and AndSMB worked immediately and without issue. I dicked around with CifsManager for a while and never had any success.
Hi all, if your goal is simply to play music and video from your NAS to your android device, you can use Kodi (xbmc) that can access cifs path directly!
Hello,
I am trying to create a tunnel interface on my phone( which has the latest Cyanogenmod 10.2 ) by using this command:
Code:
ip tuntap add dev tun0 mode tun
I get the following error: open: No such file or directory.
I did some research and, apparently, this happens because I don't have installed the tun/tap drivers( the tun.ko module ).
Does anyone have any idea on how to get/install the tun.ko module on my phone ?
Thank you !

I don't guarantee that there will be an module for your kernel, but you can still try
I tried it, but it says:
TUN support is possibly pre-loaded in your kernel.

This might suggest that the module might exist, but I double checked with lsmod and the /lib/modules directory.
If you have any idea about a kernel version for the phone that might make the Tun.ko app actually install the module, please share.
Also, if anyone else has a working tun.ko module, the Tun.ko app has an option where you can share your module( probably it's sent
to the droidvpn site ).
Thanks !
