That puts everything back to stock and you lose all your data. The OP just wants kernel back to stock which has no affect on data.

Thanks much! I was forgetting about the wifi kernel module
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
Can you use the stock wifi module with the device rooted and bootloader unlocked?
The wifi module needs to be compiled with the kernel so when you run a non stock kernel it requires it own wifi module. Short answer, no.
Long answer is yes if you hexedit the module and change the version string

dpcm version string? How can i find out what i need to change it to? I am running Tiamat's lates kernel. in the hex editor i can find Dongle Host Driver version is that the one i want to change?
open with a hex editor and search for the vermagic string:
vermagic=2.6.32-29-generic
change the value 2.6.32-29-generic to whatever the uname -r output is of the kernel you'd like to use the module with.

would it be bad to take the hex edited module and replace the one on the tablet with the new one via root explorer? I don't have access to adb at the moment to push it.
modprobe -r mod
cp mod.ko mod.ko.bak
hexedit mod.ko
modprobe mod

How far can I take this? I doubt I'd be able to just hexedit the version string of the cifs.ko I use on my droid and use it on my xoom, right? How about if I found one for cool's kernel, could I just change the version string to koush's kernel?

I wonder if there is anyone that tried to use any type of VPN over recent android builds for HD2?
Actually the problem resides in a missing kernel module "tun.ko".
I have tried to get the file from the internet to the same kernel and load it using "modprobe tun" or "insmod tun.ko" command but it is always giving me the same error: "modprobe: 'tun.ko' : invalid module format.
If anyone has a working module, that will be great.

Thank you very much, with this module it should then be possible to have openvpn functionality.
Update: Ok, I am now using latest kernel with tun support.
With this kernel I am able to load the module tun.ko with insmod.
There are no errors and lsmod shows me the module as active.
Where to put an entry to load this module by default on boot?
I have tried the latest kernel build, on SHUBCRAFT CM6 froyo build, the module is loaded successfully and the device /dev/tun is also created successfully.
Thanks a lot.
Anyway I couldn't try the VPN functionality since the Wireless/3G didn't work after kernel upgrade! although I have successfully loaded the wireless modules.
--------
BTW, it didn't work with mattc Leo android build.
After some time of trying my openvpn is running very well with the new kernel and tun module. Thanks once again.

I am running mattec release version 1.5 with the most current kernel (zImage) and the most current modules bcm4329.ko and tun.ko extracted from http://oe.netripper.com/files/htcleo_autobuild/modules-htcleo-latest.tgz.
For wifi it is very important to always use the correct bcm4329.ko according to your currently used zImage file.
So when I update a new kernel I also always download the newest modules and extract bcm4329.ko.
To get wifi working, I have extracted the bcm4329.ko out of the modules-htcleo-latest.tgz file and then used adb (I am using ADB Magic GUI to make things easier) to push the file to /system/lib/modules. Changed permissions at the end.
So
step 1:
I boot to wimo and replace zImage in my android folder.
step 2: boot back to android and connect via adb
step 3: extract bcm4329.ko out of modules-htcleo-latest.tgz
step 4: using adb I push this bcm4329.ko file to /system/lib/modules (command: adb push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules)
step 5: last but not least I change permissions, but dunno know if its really neccessary. (command: adb shell chmod 777 /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko)
Thats it. And thats what I am always doing when I am using a new zImage.
If you have further questions, just ask!
Currently I am running the latest kernel from today, 08/13/10 without any wifi or openvpn problems.
Unfortunatly the kernel module "tun" was not included with the 1.3!
Anyway I have managed now to run the new kernel and the tun module with 1.3.
And OpenVPN and wireless are now working fine.

What Should I DO Is There Update Or Solution Or ANything Around ?
A noob question support. Is there a CIFS support in the 2.6.32.21-gbe90714 kernel or a suitalbe cifs.ko file that one could use with the Cifsmanager app?
I am a bit lost here. I downloaded the DHD kernel source released, but had no luck locating the cifs.ko file. And I have no idea how to compile one myself. Can someone pinpoint me in the right direction?
update:
found some instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=783117 so I will see if I can get it working
update 2:
i have been able to build cifs.o (no cifs.ko was produced ) from the kernel provided by HTC, but it fails with insmod. The problem might be (besides that I have only a vague idea what am I doing) that the downloaded kernel is 2.6.32-g5ed1769 and my phone is running kernel 2.6.32-gbe90714.
Also compiling the kernel ends with this error
make[3]: *** No rule to make target `drivers/input/touchscreen/ntrig.o', needed by `drivers/input/touchscreen/built-in.o'. Stop.
Thats where I got stuck.
I have attached the file cifs.o produced.

I placed in DEV since it deals with kernel compilation. Maybe it should be moved to theme and apps as I am trying to get Cifsmanager app working on DHD.
Small update: I have managed to get a cifs.ko from kernel 2.6.32.17 from G2 partially working. I have HEX edited the file and changed to my kernel version.
I can insmod the file and mount drive without a problem. I can than access the mounted drives a browse the folders, but when I try to open the file I get an error.
I do not seem to be able to find a 2.6.32.21 kernel compiled cifs.ko which I believe might work with HEX updating "-gbe90714".
*push*
looking for the right cifs.ko as well :\ would be really nice to be able to mount cifs shares without custom rom...
anyone got CIFS working on stock ROM?

You just need to have the android ndk, which I supposed you have since you have bee able to compile the kernel. So just run
Code:
/path/to/android-ndk-r4b/build/prebuilt/linux-x86/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin/arm-eabi-strip --strip-debug /path/to/cifs.ko
you have to modify the path to cifs.ko a and android-ndk-r4b
I have bee trying to compile the kernel my self on kubuntu, but always finished with an error, so I just ended up hexediting other files.
Thanks for your files. I have been waiting for a working samba mount to stream my videos from NAS!!

I am afraid it has to be insmoded every time on boot. You can automate it with Gscript or Tasker apps.
Thanks @Nxtwrld for the strip-debug advice. The HTC kernel never compiled with my phone's config.gz - after each failed compile I would have to edit .config and disable the item responsible for the build failure. I ended up compiling the module by itself.

Final compile - optimised versions against NDK R5.
Against the new Android NDK R5 I have just compiled:
* tun.ko - 18 KB
* slow-work.ko - 16 KB
* cifs.ko - 269 KB
* nls_utf8.ko - 4 KB
I have also debug stripped them - resulting in a total module size of 304 KB instead of 3.2 MB.
This time I compiled them on Ubuntu 10.10 instead of the ancient Ubuntu 6.10 I had been compiling on.
Again, these are for 2.6.32.21-g66cfb7a - feel free to hex edit them. I have tested both tun & cifs and they work.
Thanks again nxtwrld for the strip-debug advice.

If it wasnt nearly 1am and i wasn't trying for the past 3 hours i would have done more reading. I know its something simple im missing, just can't figure out what the process is to installing thease modules is. First Android phone, first day with it as you can probebly tell.

There's a free app in the market called "mount /system (rw / ro)" that can make your /system read-write (rw) or read-only (ro). After setting rw - you should be able to copy the *.ko files into /system/lib/modules.
Another alternative is to copy the *.ko files onto your sdcard (/mnt/sdcard).
You can then use an app (i.e. "Terminal Emulator") to enter these commands:
Code:
su
insmod /mnt/sdcard/slow-work.ko
insmod /mnt/sdcard/cifs.ko
insmod /mnt/sdcard/nls_utf8.ko
Alternatively, you can open CifsManager, open the Settings and specify a custom path to your kernel modules (i.e. in /mnt/sdcard). The recent version allows you to specify multiple modules, separated by colons. e.g:
Code:
/mnt/sdcard/slow-work.ko:/mnt/sdcard/cifs.ko:/mnt/sdcard/nls_utf8.ko
Hope this helps.
You should also check you kernel version and verify, that you are really running pin this kernel. I have no idea what the kernel for Orange branding is....
Amazing thanks, i did it with the terminal emulator method. First time i tried it, it wouldnt work. A restart later and i've rentered the comands and my computer drive is mounted. Works like a dream, thanks loads for th hex edited files and the walkthrough with diffrent options was so very helpful.
I'm trying to change $PATH to have /system/xbin/ before /system/bin/.
I could do this manually but I'm lazy, so I'm looking for a way to have it like that on boot. But no matter whether I change it in init.rc, fota.rc, recovery.rc, they're all back in the old order after a reboot.
Anyone know which file I have to change to make my path changes stick?

The init.rc file is a part of the initramfs which is included in the kernel image (zImage). You need to change the init.rc and recompile the kernel with the updated initramfs to make the changes stick.
There is also a way to unpack and repack an existing kernel image, but IMHO recompiling the kernel is much simpler.
hm, compiling kernels isn't really my thing.
is there another way to insert commands into boot process or change path on startup?

I think if you have a kernel with init.d support, you can just drop a script in the init.d directory and it will get automatically executed.
I think all the custom kernels (at least ones based on Voodoo) have init.d support -- never actually tried this so I am not totally sure about this.
I'm using the hacked voodoo kernel for gingerbread, created a /init.d/test.rc with "export PATH ... " but it didn't work. Is it supposed to be a .rc script? supposed to work in gingerbread kernel?
edit: after a closer looks it seems that the script is not only not run but /init.d is completly and without a trace gone after rebooting
Ccurrently trying to get the SkyGO app working on the HD2.
One of the devs has suggested that for the app to work properly we need a Kernel with "ro.secure=1" set in it.
Currently I am bouncing between Typhoon 3.7.6 (which uses tytung's r14 kernel) and NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.3 (tytungs ICSr1 Kernel I believe)
Can anyone tell me how to find out if the kernel has this parameter set. If not how easy would it be for me to add it and recompile the kernel (pointers to kernel de/recompilation threads appreciated!
I'm not to worried about doing it myself if I have to.

FYI - I realised that it might be after I submitted it! Which is why I caveated the post at the end.
this parameter is in the initrd.gz in the kernel in the boot folder of the ROM.
You should extract it and inside there is a file called default.prop
extract
mkdir initdir
cd initdir
zcat ../initrd.gz | cpio -i -d
compress
cd initdir
find . | cpio -o -H newc | gzip -9 > ../initrd.gz
Each line in the file default.prop is an attribute assignment. There we need to
Note the two properties: ro.secure, and ro.debuggable. . If ro.secure = 0 is allowed us to run the adb root command.
Usually we put the core ROOT refers to the ro.secure = 0. ROOT permission to refer to the general said on the phone
A license management program (Superuser.apk) procedures for the root user can grant permission.

Also... what should I use to edit default.prop within initrd.gz? I tried unzipping it with 7zip, editing the initrd file with a hex editor and re-zipping but it created a significantly smaller file...

I only ever changed ro.secure, don't have the phone any more so can't check the other values.
To edit the default.prop you need to uncompress the initrd.gz then recompress it using the following linux commands
Code:
extract
mkdir initdir
cd initdir
zcat ../initrd.gz | cpio -i -d
compress
cd initdir
find . | cpio -o -H newc | gzip -9 > ../initrd.gz
As I run windows I downloaded and installed cygwin and used that to uncompress and recompress the kernel.
I edited the default.prop in windows but you can use vi within cygwin if you want.
If you're uncomfortable doing this then attach your kernel to a post and I can do it for you.
This is specially meant for Stock kernel user which don't have kernel iptables function.
Android Firewall
It's a android firewall capable of blocking some app to reach the internet by redirect them to certain address.
It can only activated if only there is Iptables executable & some modules to support it's function.
It's command line configurable but it's way too complicated to us.
You'll Need:
A Sony Ericsson X8 Android phone. (Will work on X10, but not tested.)
Rooted.
Busybox.
CWM Recovery.
Instruction:
Flash this through CWM http://www.mediafire.com/?qcn1jlwilq9l57n
Goto /system/etc & Add those line inside ADD TO HW_CONFIG.SH.txt text file into hw_config.sh.
Reboot
Download Any (I Used DroidWall https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.droidwall.free) to manipulated the iptables to block or allow your app to access the internet.
Say thanks to AnDyX who make this modules. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1184907)
I'm just doing the update zip for CWM that's all.
Note: Bootloops or error ARE LIKELY NEVER OCCURED. This is tested on Eclair 2.1.C.0.0 Rom (Offical Sony Ericsson rom for x8) and GDX Rom.

Do NOT flash it with CWM Recovery or xRecovery until CKKnot correct the install script else it will wipe your /system partition and phone won't reboot and you will have to reflash your device.

use some file menger like rootexplorer
Could you please be more specific with point 2?
Should I copy all lines (whole content) from ADD TO HW_CONFIG.SH.txt text file and paste them into hw_config.sh? At the end of this file? In some specific point? Nothing to replace in hw_config.sh?
Well, after first try my X8 seems to be bricked. Sony Ericsson logo after reboot
