connecting to the internet using xda 2

hi everybody,
I live in a flat where it is not possible for me to get a BT line , I was wondering if i could connect to the internet using my XDA 2 as modem (not to GPRS). I have an AOL account but it seems i am not aware of the no. i have to dial to get connected. Actually will anyone tell me how to set up the whole thing step by step .

try using the wmodem program. full instructions in the o2 manual or available from www.myxda.com. you will need a serial connection to use wmodem there are some files included on the setup CD for using a usb connection full instructions on this site somewhere. failing that i have a .rar file somwhere, pm me if you need the files.

is there any way to transfer files to the SD card wirelessly?

hi everybody,
this is my first post here on xda. i just got my magic 32b and i'm still trying to figure everything out.
i'm currently running cyanogenmod 4.2.5 and i'm wondering if there's any way to transfer files to the SD card wirelessly, without having to plug in the phone and mount the SD card. thanks!

I installed swi FTP on my phone you have to setup a user name and password port 2121 and run fire ftp on firefox it an add on you have to install setup phones ip address and same user name and password works great

You can tranfer files via FTP over Wifi or over Bluetooth.

If you're a Mac user you can use an app from the market called 'On Air'. Works a treat.

There's also an app called aFile in the market which gives you a webinterface (running on the phone) where you can manage and upload files.

I've been using this one for over 3 months and just love it. Give it a try

OpenVPN and Fascinate

Hello,
I am working on another media sharing idea and I need some help with it. I recently discovered the ability to mount a Windows shared folder transparently on my SDcard(Which means the folder on my Windows PC is on my SDcard on my phone at the sametime). This works over wifi on my home network but I was looking for a method to do over the Internet or 3G and someone had mentioned VPN. After some trial and error, i was unable to make a connection all the way using the native VPN client in Android. After reading these forums, I found others using OpenVPN to accomplish this on HTC phones so I tried it myself using the openvpn app and binary off the market along with jt1134's kernel which is supposed to be compatible but I failed. If anybody knowd how to get this working, please let me know.

not an answer to your question but just a suggestion, try using Dropbox instead for syncing files from your laptop to your phone if you cant find a solution to your problem.

There's one way... But here U have to activate wifi hotspot on ur pc.
1. Create wifi hotspot through pc.
2. Connect ur phone over wifi.
3. Download the given app(See attachment).
4. Install it on ur phone & open it.
5. Click Start.
6. The app will popup an address which you can enter in ur computer's browser & there U go...
You can now access ur phone through pc and start sharing files by uploading any file from pc to mobile or vice-versa.
This method is also applicable btw android phones.
Hope it helps...

Why do you want to copy files thorough a wifi hotspot? Plugin with ur data cable and copy the files..
And i don't think, sharing apk's are allowed in XDA

Rooting my 2017 16 gb shield help plz

hello all!
i managed to do do the rooting thing by myself (thats what i think) and i just need u guys to tell me if i did right
1- i followed this guide : https://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tv/development/how-to-root-android-pie-8-0-1-nvidia-t3982709
2- my shield is now showing that error message at the start telling its unlocked,
3- i have now magisk and twrp installed and i can see the root directory.
Now to the things that i need to understand here is what do i need the rooted image from nvidia for? and why cant i access the root from ftp ? only my usb drive and sd card is showing but root not accessed from ftp.
MY android is: 8.1
Thanx in advance for all help.

2- it's not an error, but a warning.
Don't worry about it
The development image from nvidia is running a developer build of android which is prerooted and in theory su's like magisk should be easier to install.
The stock ota/recovery images comes with more protection which makes them harder to root and to do changes to the system, but thanks to people like @rootfan it's pretty much painless.
Are you sure it's ftp and not smb?
Smb just shows the internal and external drives.
If you are using an ftp server app on the shield you need to setup the paths yourself within that app.

Thanx for clearifying this, so in my case i dont need any image cuz i alredy done it i guess.
I tried to set up the ftp server to point to the root directory in my nvidia shield but i could not find any app that can point the root. All apps seems old.
How do you guys fix this?

I'm using servers ultimate.
I also think the app just called ftp server can do it.
Solid explorer might also be able to.
Atleast in servers ultimate I have to manually type in the path which is just "/" that should bring you to the root folder.

I use server ftp and server ultimate. The first one works flowless but no root. The second one that you said have root access but i cant connect to the server for unkbown reason. Could be the port

I tried that ultimate one and it says its runing but i cant connect to it from pc. My unrooted ftp server app works without problems. Any other apps out there that i can try?
Edit: after testing few things i managed to run ftp from browser bytyping ftp:// my external ip : port
But this doesnt work from an ftp client from my pc at the same netwrok. Even if i give the box internal ip.

Which one of the ftp servers within servers ultimate are you running?
I can only get "ftp server" to work and not the native one.

i found the problem, it was network problem, not ftp server, all worked fine, when i changed to another ftp client (total commander) instade of (winscp) it worked, i guess its has something to do with passive or active mod in the connection. now when i connect from pc i can run ftp root ( / ). thanks alot for helping me out.
i know its not so big thing rooting the shield cuz these days u can allmost do anything by sideloading apps or games but do you guys have any tips what do to with rooted box that cant be done with sideloading?
