'cp' command missing after perma-root

I was trying to make a backup of my build.prop via terminal, but after su, I get a
"cp: not found" error. Anyone else getting this? Anyone know how to fix?

I asked in the permaroot thread but no response... I guess you can just use root explorer to find and copy that file to wherever you wanted to place it?

Eh. I don't want another app that I shouldn't need. I would resort to that for now, but I don't know of a free root explorer app... suggestions?

Try:
Code:
sudo bash
cp

didn't work

From $ that returns "sudo: permission denied"
From # it returns "sudo: not found"

Great alternative till this gets fixed. Thanks! FYI for others that may use this, you have to enable root permissions in the option menu.

figured it out, I installed busybox and it granted me cp access

Once you're at # don't use sudo.

When you open the app did you install the latest version of busybox?

Download busybox from market then install within the program and you are golden!

[q] cisco vpn for galaxy tab

HI,
Somebody now of a VPN client compatible with cisco Altiga concetrator ?
I need to connect the tab to our corporate network, and we use the standard cisco vpn client on PC, any similar software for the Galaxy tab ?

It appears that int VPN client that comes with the Tab is missing a level of authentication needed for a Concentrator. I'm currently looking through everything I would need to get openVPN up and running on the Tab, but it's not going to be a straightforward process. If I have any success, I'll update here.

I have successfully connected by Tab to Cisco VPN appliances using the VPN Connections app and the tun.ko module from the thread linked to in post #4. The only real issue I've seen with this setup is that when you disconnect the VPN tunnel it leaves the IP stack (possibly just the DNS config) in a confused state and you need to bounce your networking to get it back straight.

I am having the same issues connectiong to Cisco IPSec VPN

I connect to our cisco vpn using tun.ko file and vpn connections as well.
Have not had any issues with ip stack our dns being left in a confused state...
I will post a write up of what I did if I get time later... But basically it was:
Root
Install busybox
Copy tun.ko to system/lib/modules/tun.ko
Install vpn connections
Enter ipsec gateway,ipsec id,ipsec pwd,uname,usrrpwd
Done.
Same procedure worked on my droid one (with a different tun.ko)

I rooted my phone (z4root)
installed busybox
Got tun.ko but there's no "modules" folder in system/lib + the system folder is sort of write protected (I can't create new directories and all)
(I used Astro file manager)

I created the modules subfolder
You need to mount /system as rw.. I use root explorer instead of astro and it has a nice feature built in to mount rw ro I didnt see in astro
You can do it from terminal as well
#su
#mount -o remount,rw -t rfs /dev/block/st19 /system
Then when done remount as ro
#mount -o remount,ro -t rfs /dev/block/st19 /system

Still no clue
First off, I'd like to appreciate your help.
The issue still exists! Using root explorer I created the directory and placed the file (tun.ko) in it but I still get the same error message after setting my VPN connection up (Server hung up. Unable to connect to the server due to firewall. Try again?)
Any idea?
BTW, how and where can I use/download the terminal?
Thanks in advance

This really helps. I am able to copy the tun.ko to that folder. Hopefully it will be loaded automatically next time when I reboot. Before I have to manually run the command every time I reboot.
insmod tun.ko

Hi,
I've got Galaxy Tab and I have done the tun.ko and the busybox, and the insmod, and link for ifconfig and route.. lsmod shows tun.
my vpnc connects, says connected and stays connected.. But I cannot reach anything int he vpn network.. if I do "ip link show"... kind of like doing ifconfig -a on linux, I can see the tun interface, but it's down.
openvpn by the woy, works ok... I can connect and routing works.. Any help would be great.
Thanks,

[Q] Wifi MAC Fix?

Solved: See post #4
Obviously for those with a modded kernel and broken MAC.
If we knew the real MAC address for the specific device, couldn't we set the module's MAC to our real one?
Or just a MAC spoofer? But more like an un-spoofer..

Im looking for the answer as well...
I have been through every oc kernel so far, only stock/insmod seems to keep the mac addy. This might be the best option until a proper solution is found, if anyone has an idea on how to insmod on startup that would be good.
I also tried ipconfig eth0 hw ether, but got an invalid argument.

Can't you setup a script that insmod's and set that up to run on startup?
I'm sure there is somewhere in the ROM where a script can be added for it to run on boot, or at least a boot time Android one...
init.rc perhaps?

Okay i found it... there is a file called /bootcomplete.rc that calls
/system/xbin/busybox run-parts /system/etc/init.d
so, on stock kernel with oc-dz.ko:
Code:
# cd /system/etc/
# mkdir init.d
# cd init.d
# echo insmod /system/lib/modules/oc-dz.ko pll2_l_val=74 > overclock
# chmod 0755 overclock
will load the module at boot. wifi mac is correct

Okay I've been using this for most of the day and just had a hard crash on level 99 of robo defence(F7U13!) Looking into it, it seems this kernel module only seems to step up from 700 straight to 1497! I'm disabling it for now.
Apparently cyanogen is quite a lot faster than the stock Sense, even without overclock. As soon as it hits RC2, I'm gonna give it a shot.

Trying from a Terminal I get: "undable to chmod overclock: Read-only file system"
I tryed from ADB and all commands were accepted, file was created and chmod processed, but after reboot the OC module is not loaded

What ROM are you using ?? Have you changed the Kernel ??

at the time i was using stock.. currently using virtuous from rom manager

I've been strugglin with that command line for days, trying to find a way t make it stick from boot (and not typing it from a console), I finaly made it today via updater script (update.zip).
I also included the stock radio module and the stock kernel (rooted) to the package, so it can serve as a "rescue kit" for other users stuck with the MAC WiFi shizz. I shared it @ devs forum.

I believe all I should have to do once the cifs.ko is built is put it in a folder (such as /system/lib/modules/) and tell CIFS Manager to load it?

ah yes thats right. no uname in stock.
could you pls go to system settings or dload an app to get it?
you would put it in /data/local/modules (for ex) and let cifs manager load it in.

you cant do a uname. your stock retail does not come with the functionality.
get this to me some other way. either through system settings or even through setcpu (that will report that whole string).

your not allowed to insmod.
youll need root access.
if you have an unlocked bootloader, flash in CWM, then push to your system at the bare minimum, su and superuser, then back to nvlfash and put back your stock recovery.
if you dont have an unlocked bootloader, then youll have to intrusively gain root.

what you can try is get CIFS manager, and load it in via that app. it may take.
try it, and see if it works out.

Finally, site is back up.
Ok, if I use CIFS Manager, tell it to load via insmod and set the correct path, kill the program, launch the program, then the end of dmesg reads:
Code:
<3>[ 160.853751] cifs: version magic '2.6.36.3-58 SMP preempt mod_unload ARMv7 ' should be '2.6.36.3 SMP preempt mod_unload ARMv7 '
If I do lsmod, I get:
Code:
dhd 225862 0 - Live 0xbf000000
Lastly, if I try to mount a SMB share, I get "No such device".
I thought I was already rooted... Or at least the superuser app works. And I am on CWM. Is there a reason to go back to stock?

Ill change the vermagic string in the module.
Ill repost tonight.

if you are using the kernal from pershoot, cifs manager simply will work with the module ... i was told so few days ago and i am using it. now .

I'm just on stock kernel. Don't really want to overclock... I like my battery life.

unless i am wrong, i believe after flash the kernel..... if you do not install setcpu and overclock by using it, it runs at 1Ghz.
kernel flash also won't erase whatever installed on the 10.1 ..... just in case you will worry that as i originally did ...

But you can flash the kernel only on tabs with an unlocked bootloader, isn't it?
So if your bootloader is locked you need cifs.ko for the stock kernel.

ADB help
Hey, just a few questions. I'm brand new to ADB tools.
I got my cmd prompt to show me the serial of my device using adb devices. Im sure this means my adb tools are working. Ive only installed SDB tools and platform tools.
Do I need to download the 2.2 tools?
The problem is when I type in the first cmd i get a operation error.
2nd question is how do I get all of your gps.config code into the cmd prompt. Do I place the file somewhere on my computer for it to be recognized in your second cmd step.
Thanks in advanced.

I messed around with that for awhile and I think I got a little further. I seem to still get a little stuck after I mount.
1. /android-sdk/platform-tools>adb shell
2. $su
3. #mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
4. mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
5. #
On line 4 the cmd prompt just spits that back out at me and it ends up back at # again. How do I know it mounted and how do I begin the pushing process. My gps.conf file is in my platform-tools folder. Thanks!

Throw me a bone. Im so close! I can feel it!

How do I get gps.conf file?
link in OP just takes me to a page with a lot of text-No download.
