cannot start hero's usb tether

this is the rom I'm using...
JACxHEROski v1.7r2 32A Devices with Amon RA's v1.1.0 Kernel
its working really great, thanks for all your great work guys.. Wifi Tether is working too (though I m having a 32A device) thanks to your reverse enginnering technique.
My problem is that I can not use Hero's embedded USB Tether option. I'm getting an error stating "unable to turn on" when starting the mobile network sharing option..
Can anyone help me fix this?
1000 thanks

Fix application permissions.
Give the terminal emulator a shot.
ENTER:
$ su
# fix_permissions
If that script feature isn't available in his ROM ports, might I suggest uninstalling the application and downloading it from the Wiki site of the updated build from the Wi-Fi tether developers.

fix_permissions is not found. Again, I meant USB tether.. it is not an app i guess, it is embedded in hero rom's code. Any more ideas?

[Q] USB Tethering on Ubuntu 11.04

I have been having trouble using easy tether to connect to the Internet on my computer after upgrading to Ubuntu 11.04. It was working fine on 10.10 but after updating, I can't seem to get it to work.
I have installed the drivers and have it running on my phone and I type the commands:
cd /usr/bin
easytether connect
It displays that I am connected on the terminal, but network manager just says that I am searching for a connection. Does anyone know how to fix this? Or have another way to USB tether to Ubuntu 11.04?

What phone are you using ? There is a known bug in ubuntu heres how to fix it https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AndroidScreenshots. I know its for screenshots but it works the code is for htc if you are not using a htc device the vender codes for other devices can be found in the superoneclick.thread.

Hey thanks for the link. I will try editing my android.rules file to the new one that is there

Nope that didn't work. Thanks for the input though. Does anyone else have this problem? I have seen a bunch of people on the ubuntu forums but there doesnt seem to be anyone who got it to work

I bumping this again because I really need this to work. Any ideas????? Please???

My Ubuntu box was not able to find my phone...but after I went In and manually added it it connects just fine.

Are you on 11.04? And how did you manually add it?
I can get adb to work. Also, if I type:
cd /usr/bin
easytether enumerate
It shows the device id but if I type:
easytether connect #############
It shows it connects in the terminal just like it does without the number, it says it is connected in the terminal, but network manager does not connect.

This is incredibly important to me so could you please post how you did that when you get a chance?

I just talked to easytether support. It seems to be a bug in their program. They are going to be fixing it soon.

I apologize for reviving but was a fix released?

If anyone knows how to get adb working with the Iconia-

I can't get adb to work with my iconia to save my life... I've tried every driver out there to try to get the device recognized but I can't even get it connected to my computer. I have the mini usb cable and all, and I can copy/paste files into the tablet memory, but whenever I start adb it won't recognize it. How did you guys get yours set up? And I've connected my incredible via adb so I know my sdk kit is legit. Just let me know, thanks-
Oh, and: Iconia is rooted. Also, I've tried to start the device manager (i'm on win7 btw), locate the missing device driver, update driver, and navigate to where I got the acer driver from their website, but to no avail. Could it be my rom? I have a hc 3.1 on there atm. Well, that's about it haha
The ultimate goal is to install native ubuntu on the a500, but I need access to adb first.

Hmm ... did you install the USB drivers from Acer's support site?

Another option with ADB is to do so via IP. Search the Market for 'adb' and there should be a few apps that will allow you to use ADB over TCP/IP. From your computer, with ADB installed, you'd connect with something like:
adb connect <Tablet's IP address>:<port>
I seem to think port 5555 is the default.
If, after trying this method, you still cannot access/see your tablet (assuming you started ADB services), then you may want to check your SDK.
Best of luck.

This may sound silly, but have you gone into settings, applications, development, and checked "USB debugging" to on?

And please my op... of course I tried the drivers from acer's site, both of them. And my sdk kit works, just like I said. But thanks!

Glad it was something simple!

Sometimes we always overlook the simple things.
But I would not have told on myself.to many other things could blame it on.giggles

USB to LAN : Trendnet TUE2-ET100

Hi everybody,
Like video said, I'm noob !
I come from french and surely I'm not the better englishman of france, but I need you and I try to resolv my problem :=)
I have iconia a500, and go with it in holidays.
In my room, only RJ45 for internet, not WiFi... And my lady NEED internet ^^
That's why I try to use this device.
But, when I try to use it... It doesn't works :=/
I've seen that with taboonay it can works but it's rom for 3.2 and I am in 4.03...
Here my configuraiton :
CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.X(thor2002rorev1.7)
Flexreaper 5.1
I use Trendnet TUE2-ET100 for network adaptator.
Have we one rom who can help me plz ?
I wait your help if it's possible.
Thank you.

Hi,
Nobody can help me ?

It would be probably better to just buy simplest access point out there and use it as a bridge between ethernet cable and wifi . You don't even need router functionality if the tablet will be the only device used. Just buy AP, configure it and just connect the cable to the RJ45 socket and voila.
You will probably need to connect AP to the PC with a cable to configure it but you need to do this only once. You need to configure the wifi name and security (preferably WPA2 PSK).

Hi,
Thank you for you answer !
Can we resolv problem without AP ?
The reason it's that we go to hotel and I bagage is full... xD
With USB analyser software (or application), I can see one information about my LAN adaptator... But it doesn't works when I try to use it.
I don't know if one other kernel can help me or if it's with other custom ROM...
Thank you very much for your help and your solution !
But if we have other possibility it's ok for moi :=)
Merci ;=)

Try the following:
Reboot the tablet (do not connect ethernet adapter yet)
In the terminal emulator display run dmesg (you can dump it with dmesg > /sdcard/dmesg1.txt for comparison)
Connect adapter
Run dmesg again and check for differences at the end (dump it with dmesg > /sdcard/dmesg2.txt and then compare both files).
This will tell if the kernel itself is recognizing the device properly as a networking device. If it doesn't then you need different kernel or kernel module for the current one for this device.
If the device is recognized and the proper kernel module is loaded and still no connectivity then one of the following can be true:
The device doesn't send request to acquire IP from DHCP (dhcp client in the rom not configured to support other devices than the built-in ones).
The device receives the IP, but the routing is not being set so the connection is not set as a default route.
The Android itself doesn't recognize the new interface and apps cannot start the connection using Android API (OS thinks it is offline).
Unfortunatelly I don't know much about how the networking on the application level works in Android and I don't have any USB ethernet adapter to do some tesing myself. I would need to ask some friends if they have one.

Very thanks to your help and sorry for this.
Below results dmesg after plug usb adapter.
Usb 1-1: new high speed usb device number 2 using tegra-ehci
Usb...: new usb device found, idVendor=0b95, idProduct=2,
Usb... : new usb device strings: mfr=1, product=2, serialnumber=3
Usb... : product: ax88772
Usb... : manufacturer: asix elec. Corp.
Usb... : seriaonumber xxxxxx
We can see that android see usb device.
But, when i made <ifconfig>, i can see only the wlan0 interface, no eth0 or other...
Maybe i have to mount it ?
Thanks for your help.

No, you don't mount network devices .
It seems that the tablet is not loading any kernel module for this device. I've done some searching and this device requires usbnet and asix modules to be loaded. I have checked if I have those module in my a500 (running CM9) and I don't have any of them.
I think that you would need to build your own kernel with proper modules to gain support for this adapter.

OMG xD
Build my own kernel
ok ok, let's go, I have already help my father to build house, I can did it !
...
Is it difficult to build kernel ? ^^
Are there any tutoriel for this ? or I need help of xda's members ?
Like other post, thank you for your interest and your help.
Sorry to make you spend time on my case

I'm sorry but my knowledge about compiling kernels is limited to PC Linux. I've never crosscompiled kernels for ARM architecture. It shouldn't be that hard. I think that you will need the Android SDK to do that. Search the dev forum.
I've been thinking about the module itself and you probably don't even need to compile whole kernel. You just need the kernel header files for the kernel you are using and you can probably compile the module alone and then just copy it to device. But you need to ask someone that is more knowledgable in this area than me.

hello, have you managed to build module for ICS or jellybean?
i have the same USB LAN adapter (i'm french too ^^)
Hope to have a positive reply!!!
thanks

Backtrack 5 running on N7100

So I installed backtrack 5 successfully on my Note II running ARHD 14 and Perseus kernel, but I have a little problem. I can partially run airmon-ng but the internal wifi adapter can not be used in monitor mode so I want to find out how I can make a WN722n adapter to work using OTG adapter.
Backtrack seems to recognise the adapter as shown by the lsusb command. So I think is driver related the missing part to make it work. Any idea where I can find and how I can install the appropriate driver to work?

Anyone have an idea?

Hi,
can you please send me the post or the HOWTO you used to install BT5 on note 2 ?

Look for app called "linux installer" in google play store .

All linux OSs that has been ported to android, are not quite perfect. They are still in beta. So some things may not work. If I will find solution how to fix that. I'll post it here as soon as possible.

while i can not help you out, i would just like to say that having bt5 running on that bad boy just sound awesome.
are we talking command line or GUI ?
i would love to see a video if you find the time.
While i have no idea where to ask, i don't think this is the right place. i am not sure it will be helpful in any way but there was a lot of work put into porting BT for the original Xoom, and as i remember, it was also using an adapter to set monitor mode. you could maybe ask it as a general question and not device specific, and get some useful information that way. i will look into it when i finally get my Note II.
