Hey Gang,
I currently do not have a data plan and won't get one until I switch from Sprint to Verizon. (accounts expire soon)
This is what I want to do with my Vogue:
Setup SD card with EXT2 partitions [CHECK]
Correctly install/run a SenseUI/Hero build [CHECK]
Convert my WM contacts to Android contacts offline [CHECK]
Install APK's offline [CHECK]
Use the internet connection through my PC via USB cable (while running android) [PENDING]
Install a "camera software" APK so i can use the camera [PENDING]
Enjoy the hell out of Android and all the possibilities for the Vogue! [CHECK]
Any and all help checking off my list is much appreciated!
~Syn
The camera already works out of the box. and Talk to enatefox about internet via USB connection.
Install a "camera software" APK so i can use the camera [PENDING]
I am currently using "Pro Paint Camera that came with this Hero/SenseUI build.
I can take pictures but not video. Also, none of the lighting effects work so every picture is very yellowish.
True.... the camera does work, but it is not really usable without adjustment.
I'm in the same situation right now. I want to use android but I'm afraid I wont be able to use internet to access the market (unlike WM/ActiveSync).
The camera issue is something that I can deal with, but I think that it would be nice if someone could make an activesync-like program that can share internet.
Only difference is that I'm on verizon right now, and might consider switching to sprint!

I forget exactly when that build came out, but I can assure you that the build I'm using now has a camcorder and camera app outside of Paint Pro Camera.
FWIW, I'm using the Droid donut ion build by Zenulator.
Also, from what I know, internet through USB only allows you to browse the web, and the marketplace doesn't work. There might be some changes in the future, however.
Yes. with Cupcake / Donut the camera/camcorder seem to work with the default applications. They still don't have filters or effects to correct lighting.
... still looking for that app.

I have also been trying to figure this out... but getting Internet via bluetooth rather than USB. So kind of like the bluetooth tethering that is possible right now with Android, but in REVERSE! So Internet-> PC-> Bluetooth-> Android.
USB Internet (at this point) can be very problematic. It can cause your phone to hard freeze out of the blue. I haven't spent a lot of time troubleshooting it since it's hard to figure out what went wrong when I'm forced to reset.
Credit to DimaFern for getting me anywhere near having this working. I just messed with it a little. This is reverse tethering because you are not getting the connection from the phone. So the USB Tethering option is not related in this situation.
Here's my howto
I have not tried this without a Linux host. I believe you can forward traffic with ICS but I don't know what is involved there.
My gateway is .37, my laptop is .107 and the phone gets it's IP from the laptop:
On laptop:
echo "1" | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
On Android:
ip addr add 192.168.37.100/24 dev usb0
ifconfig usb0 up
## This is the IP for my laptop:
route add default gw 192.168.37.107
setprop net.dns1 192.168.37.107
cat /proc/net/route
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The last line is not needed-- it's to show you that it's routing traffic. You won't be able to ping IPs from the command line and somehow Market doesn't think you're online but SAM Market, Browser, etc. do work. It's nice because you are not taxing the RAM of the phone for connectivity so it runs much quicker... unless it hard freezes on you.
i use tetherbot to tether my phone now that it's running android full time. basically install tetherbot and start the socks proxy server on port 1080 then.
Code:
adb forward tcp:1080 tcp:1080
from your computer and set up firefox to connect manually to the proxy.

I'm sorry, but isn't Tetherbot used to share your phone's internet connection with your computer?
I think we are trying to be able to "reverse tether" and not tether.
enatefox (and others)...
I would love to see how this reverse-tethering can work. I know its very complicated and buggy right now, but if you do any more work on it you should create a thread showing how in layman's terms. I have dual-boots on both my computers into Ubuntu 9.10, I know what the terminal is and sudo and some basic commands, but when you type your commands with little explanation I get lost. They could use some clarification [ such as 1) open terminal 2) type these commands. ] And please explain terminal in Android. What apk do I need? I probably have it already but just need to install it. Thanks for any help. I don't have data since my line costs $10 a month (family plan) and data would be $26 a month. I just started reverse-tethering with WM6.5.1 and its really cool.
There aren't any other steps you just run what I posted and change "192.168.37.107" to what your desktop's IP is and "192.168.37.100" to "192.168.xxx.100" where "xxx" is the subnet of your LAN-- matching the 3rd set of numbers of your desktop's IP.
You can run these commands over ADB, which is required to do this. Here's a guide on how to set it up.
Here is what I came up with trying to do the same thing with bluetooth instead :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4404512&postcount=9
I was missing your "ip addr..." command to add the forwarding network, this should help, I will give it a try.
I also came to the conclusion that I needed a way to fake that either the wifi or the data connection was up. Maybe this can be done by issuing a "setprop" command forcing the status to being "up"?

UGH I'm stuck right now. I'm using Ubuntu 9.10, and when I type in terminal "sudo /etc/init.d/udev restart" I get some error message telling me to do it a different way. So even after restarting the computer, it does not recognize any command for adb. I already did the export PATH to the androidsdk/tools folder and adb is in there, but I cannot get it to open. Any ideas?
Got it to see adb. I forgot to put /home/drkow19 in front of the path...
edit: Has anyone successfully used ADB with zen's 2.0.1? I'm trying right now but it shows no devices connected. In the 50-android.rules file I have 0bb4 instead of 18d1 like enatefox said to. Also, on the Dream forums the file they use is 51-android.rules, whats the diff?
0bb4 and 18d1 are determined in the source code. Different versions can change so whichever is shown, use. The 50 and 51 are indicators for timing. Maybe I have this backwards but 51 should start later than 50 and can address issues with it not being recognized or more precisely, overrode with another operation. I set mine to 51.
Okay I deleted 50 and used 51-android.rules. What is the line about "define vendor id" does that need to be in the 51 file?
I can say adb start-server but no devices... They say you need to sudo adb start-server but when I try that I get "sudo: adb: command not found" How do you add the adb PATH so it works under sudo as well?
I know that some of you are still dealing with this issue and in different roms, As I was too, but for anyone wishing to fix this the right way after installing their roms, follow below and this will fix your problem.
Disable WIFI (settings/System/Wireless & networks untick wifi. System must be rooted, use any root explorer, and navigate to your SD card location where you put the file you downloaded, and select to copy it, then navigate to system/lib. and rename the file with adding .old at the end, and paste this file into this location. Then MOVE the file you just added ".old" to your sdcard as a backup, exit out of your explorer and reboot.
And when you are back in the phone, turn wifi on, go to settings about phone then hardware information, and you now have your actual wifi mac address and not the generic.
Anyone who uses zip roms, can replace this file in there zip file before flashing. Should work without having an issue, cant guarantee every phone as I do not have every phone, nor can I guarantee every rom, but you can always try it.
If this was fixed then FML but I tried.
The attached file is not zipped, after downloading just rename and remove the .zip at the end, forum will not allow uploading of unknown extension. Initial User Testing shows POSSIBLY NOT Compatible with Gingerbread
Thanks for this. It's exactly what I was looking for!
I use NexusHD2 Gingerbread, and it doesn't work for me (it's \system\lib - no etc folder in system). It actually stopped my wifi working. It turned on for a few seconds, didn't even try to connect, and then turned off.
It's all fine after restoring the old state and rebooting though.
Thanks for the effort all the same - I hope others have more luck than me.
if it really works why dont you share this with the developers so that the new builds will come with the real mac address.
are you sure that you are getting the real MAC address.
because in the MDJ's latest kernel we get a unique MAC address but not the original one

It's not dissimilar to the MAC address I have on my device (not the same though). Is this just a forced value, or is it actually the real MAC address? If it's a forced value I'm just wondering what advantage there is over having the previously forced one of 00:11:22:33:44:55? Surely you'd still have the same MAC address as someone else that did the same thing on their phone.
Or am I missing something?

i think the advantage is when u try to connect two Leo phones to a same network might get conflict because of similar MAC Addresses
and some routers wont accept this "00:11:22:33:44:55" MAC Address
I did that and now my phone does not boot!!! Please HELP

I figured out how to fix it. The Team black hat patcher works.
1. Download the file below (from your phone probably easiest)
2. Launch DROID 2 BOOTSTRAPPER which can also be downloaded from below.
3. Bootstrap recovery
4. Reboot recovery
5. Install zip from SDcard
6. If using the default Android browser, the file will be in /download
7. Install the zip
8. Reboot phone, launch 3g hotspot (Wireless Tether for Root users not necessary)
9. Enable 3g, connect with computer/laptop/nook/tablet
10. Enjoy free 3g!!!
Downloads:
1. Team Black Hat Patcher
2. Team Black Hat Unpatcher
3. Droid 2 Bootstrapper
I take no credit for any of this! I just put it together and followed directions. All thanks goes to Koush, P3Droid, Team Black Hat, etc...

LOL. Probably because VZW is big and scary and their favorite color is red. All they want from their customers is blood!
LOL. More info on how this works can be found here:
http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/android-hacks/5156-tbh-droid-3g-hotspot-nvram-hack.html
Here's their explanation:
This thread is intended to explain the principles behind tethering and how to use RadioComm to modify the NVM to allow tethering via all methods
on any Motorola Droid device by all users, regardless of whether they are rooted or not.
This is the method we at TeamBlackHat used to create the Tether_Repair patches that were released recently for rooted DX/D2 users in update.zip format
and applied via the Koush bootstrap recovery.
It is based on years old knowledge developed in the early days of CDMA Motorola hacking on the V710/V3c/e815 devices.
All of the information, techniques and software tools to do this are in the public domain already.
What we did is simply take that knowledge and apply it with the latest Service software and methods to the Droid generation devices and packaged it
in a new format for delivery that was never previously available to us before the advent of Android.
We will be releasing the manual method for RadioComm when we have worked through all the details for doing it on Win 7.
Currently the versions of RadioComm available on the net are for Win XP only.
We did it initially as a Proof of Concept of methods for writing to NV items via update.zip using Motorola's own binaries that we have recently developed.
We were not intending to release it at all and all agreed that it would be very controversial and raise many ethical questions as well as attracting the wrong
kind of attention to us as a group at a time when we had just been served a C&D for leaking the 2.3.9 update.zip file.
All of this really came about as a direct result of the examination of the NVM we did investigating nenolod's claims about an Engineering mode "switch"
that unlocked the bootloader on DX/D2. Those claims turned out to be unfounded and false and our work, and in particular MotoCache1's incisive analysis
of the boot process with help from [mbm], was instrumental in revealing that fact.
Not exactly what we had in mind to do but we were among the few who had the tools and wherewithall to determine the validity of what nenolod was claiming,
particularly in the beginning when he had released very little hard data to back up his suggestion that there was such a string hiding in the NVM.
Nonetheless, while revisiting the NVM and exploring methods to dump the memory we came upon this set of NV items that determines how the radio builds the
authentication strings it autowrites at bootup for data services. I was aware of their existence for month's since they were revealed in a thread
I participated in on HoFo for service programming on the original Droid. That thread was directed towards the methods required to get the Droid on
a different carrier like Cricket or Metro.
In any event, I knew what they would do if modified in this way and decided to use that as a test of MotoCache1's work with the update.zip binaries.
I used RadioComm to edit them individually and MotoCache1 did the really brilliant work of turning this very old school hack into a beautiful,
elegantly delivered package. This proved the power of what we were capable of as a team and we still unanimously decided against releasing
a packaged theft of services hack as not the right thing to do.
We have reconsidered now in the light of these other exploits surfacing which utilize various software level tricks for getting "Free" tethering
with the new 3G Mobile Hotspot app included on DX and D2. I had always felt that this was inevitable and that others would soon put the pieces together
in the same way we had done.
This is a fundamentally different modality but accomplishes exactly the same thing as any other exploit designed to subvert VZW's intent
to differentiate between externally routed modem data and internal data use and charge for that service.
This includes all forms of exploits and applications like PDAnet and WMWiFiRouter(WinMo 6.1) and now Barnacle, whose entire business model is to use
software level methods to mask tethered data and have marketed them as such for years.
All of these methods absolutely violate the TOS agreement with VZW.
This method simply alters that behavior at the lowest level possible on the device, the radio NVM.
It works because of the way VZW chose to setup authentication on their network when they released the first EvDO capable phones in late 2004-2005.
The methods and software tools to access the NVM as well as the blocks put in place by Qualcomm and Motorola for protecting these
authentication components have evolved dynamically over the years with advancements in chipset design and software, but the principles
have always remained the same. Hex editing the NVM items via a given tool to make the Tethered NAI(Network Access Identifier) strings
match the NAI strings for internal data.
These are basically your user name on the network and consist of the MIP profile byte, a line length byte and your 10 digit telephone number
followed by either @dun.vzw3g.com for tethered NAI or @vzw3g.com for the NAI. By removing the "dun." from the tethered NAI string
you enable all forms of data use to appear to the network as internal and using the normal NAI string.
The difference between the current technique and former methods is that the items edited for this hack are not those strings themselves,
but actually where the default values are stored that the radio uses to build the full strings that it autowrites to the fixed, protected locations in the NVM
for the authentication components in the MIP(Mobile Internet Protocol) profile itself, which happens at bootup.
This is the means by which they prevented the items from being modified by typical service programming tools like QPST.
But, because we know the location for those hidden partial strings, it actually makes our work much simpler.
After editing these four strings, the phone itself uses those values to autowrite the properly configured MIP profile strings for you.
It couldn't be any easier!
Despite our initial concern about releasing this publicly, we have decided after much discussion to do so anyway.
With all of the recent exploits that are directly targeting the 3g Mobile Hotspot app we feel that revealing the way to do it properly
will level the playing field for everyone as well as giving the community a truer and more complete understanding of how it works.
This way users can make up their own minds as to whether to use any of the available methods of "free" tethering with a clear view
of the ethical and technical issues involved.
Hopefully this thread will generate a healthy discussion about the issues.
We at TeamBlackHat believe in providing the knowledge so users can make their own decisions with the best information available.
Please use your own judgment about whether to use this or any tethering modifications.
Enjoy!

I came from Liberty 1.5 and used the wifi tether for root with no problems. I followed the steps and installed the Tether Patcher. My laptop can get an IP address from the phone but I cant do anything more than that. Any Ideas?
I am having the same issue with the tether patch. I get an ip address, but no data comes through (tried on multiple computers). I, however, did not come from liberty - stock rom / (but rooted, obviously).
+++edit to add+++
When I first upgraded to GB, I installed the Android Wifi Tether app (3.0-pre12). That didn't work correctly (both the wifi app and hotspot app icons came on in the tray and it was really buggy), so I uninstalled the wifi app and applied the patch. The patch, as I said, would assign an ip but not transmit any data. So, I just reinstalled the tether app (with the patch still applied) and it works! Now only the stock icon appears in the tray and it works faster than ever. Using it as I type.

Thanks! I Installed the Android Wifi Tether app and managed to get it working too. Initially after installing the Wifi Tether, it would get an IP, I could ping the gateway but still couldn't get to the outside world even though the computer said it had internet access. (incidently I would also have both the wifi and builtin app icons in the tray). What worked for me was to enable access control and then disable access control. Now I have just the Wifi Icon in the tray and Im using it flawlessly right now.
After a reboot, I do have both icons in the tray again but it still works without issue. That works for me!
In order to get the stock tethering app working I had to change my dns servers.
I was in the same boat as bndggle. Tryed his fix and nothing happened. The only thing that worked before I tried his fix and after is just leaving the tether running. After a few min I will get a message on my status bar saying that my 3g connection failed. I lose 3g, then it returns and I magically have internet access.
An other thing I noticed is that when I start the tether not only is the host not connected to the internet, the phone is also.
I don't get the point of this when you can just download the wireless tether app from the store for free. What's the difference? OR is the reason that people are using this method because the wireless tether app doesn't work on GB? if that is true, than I'll stay with froyo until that gets fixed in the OTA release of GB.
do you patch , and unpatch???? or just patch... i tried to patch, and the tether still does not work... any suggestions

Uninstall the Android Wifi Tether app (3.0-pre12) and reinstall. Then reboot. Thats what worked for me. I have not removed the patch.
for anyone looking to boost the eris internet speed (every so subtly) you may want to try changing the default DNS servers on the phone similare to stated here:
Found this one in the Fascinate forms (i've recently switch phones). Thought this might be a tad helpful for the eris too.

Please note I have not tested this on the Eris, so I wouldn't advise flashing the files, BUT the location of the files is the same as on the Eris. I just dont know if the settings within the file being flash are all identical, so someone smarter than me may want to mess around with this and "port" it over to work on the eris.
good luck!
Nice, I've had to do that with my computer out here I wasn't sure how to do it on the phone. Hopefully it is trivial to get setup right.
to bad this wouldn't work with cricket flashed phones, as i hear cricket blocks any dns server other than theres
Hi everyone, I am a old ERIS user who is a NEW ERIS abuser. I am running xtrSENSE 5.0.1 and I noticed that the only file in "/system/etc/ppp" is [if-up-vpn] So my question is how would I modify or edit the DNS servers? I have tired pushing a modified ip-up.

Is there any other way besides using an app? But I will try out the app, and thank you.
Ideally, you want to pick DNS addresses that are "close" to you, as in the # of hops. Geographically close doesn't always mean it will be 3-4 hops away either. For me, the (3) listed are 9-11 hops away.
Going to try SetDNS and see where my current VZW DNS are or how many hops away they are...
So I have read through at least 50 threads and 10 PDFs to get this far. I also realized that I had to do everything on a 32bit machine since that is the only driver available for the Rant.
So here is a little background on what I have done so far. I rooted the Evo shift easily since it came with the stock 2.2 and installed the newest clockwork and Cyanogen Mod 7 R2. I also updated to the lastest radio (found it here in a thread and it came with an updated WiMax and touchscreen).
I managed to successfully transfer the ESN/MEID. I tried searching and realized it was futile when a new radio that no one knew the locations were. FINALLY, I found someone mentioned a method using EFS and got it to work. After the code 16 error, reactivating on boost mobile, my phone now accepts calls and messages no problem, however 3G is another story.
So some questions:
1. I noticed that my home address is not 0.0.0.0 like most of the guides out there but actually 0.0.0.1 for both profile 1 and 0. Is that okay?
2. My SPI for both profile 1 and 0 were blank and NOT 4D2. Is that okay?
3. My "Rev tunnel preferred" for both profile 1 and 0 were not checked. Is that okay?
4. Should the password for profile 0 and 1 (both HA and AAA) be the same or different? Something I thought I should ask.
Right now, I am going to find a Rom that comes with sense since it has been a pain to use the terminal in order to turn diag on in CM7. Also I am going to try rewriting the 465 and 466 files to the Evo again (I had a rant so 1192 and 1194 were useless essentially BUT I did transfer them over).
Thanks for all the views and help,
Alan
Have you tried THIS thread.
this guy apparently helps people switch their phones over too, i havent done it myself but worth a look:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/294474680575872/
So it seems that my new issue is that my HA and AAA passwords for both profiles refuse to save in QPST.
I downloaded the 465 and 466. 1192 and 1194 refused to write (I have a Rant but not sure if that makes a difference)
I also loaded a sense rom so I could get access to the regular commands.
Is there something I am missing? I entered the MPL password and then enter all the information in the MIP tab and set profile to 0. I click write and get this error
nv_ue_imei_i nv_read only's error
and when I go back to reading the phone when it reboots, nothing has changed.

Just to let everyone know, I finally got the phone to work. 3G is REALLY slow but works. So does the phone and messages.
I actually got it to work using DFS 3.3.0.7 which can be found with searching (cough 4shared cough).
I pretty much swapped the ESN, flashed a completely stock 2.2 rom and then did a reset (##rsn#). After that it started working. Granted, I changed all the settings in DFS 3.3.0.7 before.
Hey alansupra94 can u give me a little bit more help on what to do with dfs? If u could pm me that would be great! I have been trying to get this for a day or so no luck! Thanks

Sent you a pm.
Just to let everyone know, I figured out the problem. The Rant was never provisioned to get 3G and refused to on Boost Mobile. Got an Incognito and problem solved.
alansupra94 can you write a guide on this please?
