DEV NEEDED - aircrack-ng for ARM, BCM4330 monitor mode

I need a dev to help get monitor mode working on the Nexus 7
It has been done before on the SGS II which also uses the 4330.
I tried doing this myself, checking the install.sh and all that, but I came out with the error:
Code:
insmod: init_module 'dhd.ko' failed (Exec format error)
I was in superuser, files with correct permissions set, etc..
also to the devs: the iwconfig binary that they provide doesn't work, but the one I attached does.

please devs, this would be awsome
I don't have any experience developing but I can test what ever needs done to make this happen asap

Did you actually compile this dhd.ko or was it provided pre-built? If the latter, then you'll need to achieve the former using the correct architecture.

ok i installed sdk on ubuntu 12.04 i know kind of how to use adb. i can run scripts ie. config,make,makeinstall ect so can some one just tell me the cmds to recompile this dhd.ko module into our kernel so we can get this it would be abreakthrough in the nexus 7 community let alone the android community,especially if we got package injection working. please tell me how to do this.

First all, this thread is referencing an illegal activity, namely cracking password/wifi. XDA does not condone this (of course), but I will help you provided that this is used for educational purposes ONLY. Okay, my bad legal speech is over, let's get on with it.
Have you checked permissions on the module? It may be just as easy as switching permissions on it. If that doesn't fix it, try pulling it from another source, or as someone said, compile it for the architecture (arm).

You have the wrong kernel version, it doesn't match the running version.
You might be able to binary edit the value, but you might have the wrong platform.
compile it from sources.

The module needs to be compiled from the provided kernel. I'm guessing you're using CyanogenMod since that's what you linked. The website wiki dot cyanogenmod dot com slash wiki slash Building_Kernel_from_source covers this topic. (sorry links aren't allowed)

While cracking someone's WEP without their permission may be illegal in certain locales - there is no reason to believe this is the situation for the OP. Wireless monitor is a legitimate means of enforcing wireless IDS/IDP and penetration testing.

Just something I had bookmarked.

Edit: I just opened the OP link, same website I just put the main blog instead of the article.

Good point, looking back on my post I really overreacted, sorry . WiFi monitoring on a mobile device, now that's something that would be a nice addition to any IT's toolbox!

No-one here has said anything about any kind of illegal activity; wifi monitoring and packet injecting is used for white-hat pen testing or security auditing purposes only.

ok weve all been down the aircrack-ng ethical debate but it is a good tool for security purpose so lets avoid the endless discussion if its ileagal or legal, or moral, imoral and go with the facts IT IS A POWERFULL SECURITY TOOL THAT WOULD BE A MOST BENIFITUARY ASSET TO ANDROID DEVELOPEMENT AND SECURITY. that being said lets get this dhd.ko module compiled

does anyone no how to use the toolchain gcc to recompile the module for cm10 on the nexus? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1686310&page=1. could this be of use

I've not go through this thread yet but they said got it working for bcm4330 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1892535
Edit: silly me, of course you guys already knew that.

yea
it does work for the bcm4330 chipset we have but the module has to be compiled and repacked into our kernel thats were im having trouble

man ive tried and tried to compile the module it just isnt working
has anyone got this working by any chance

Any changes with enabling monitor mode on N7?
After your hard work I send a little Donate (maybe 20€ ?)

Alright I've kinda picked this up as my own project but I need a little help. I'm successfully managed to compile dhd.ko against my running kernel (3.1.10-g22b4fcd-dirty), but I can not manage to load it. I get an exec format error, and dmesg reveals: "dhd: exports duplicate symbol bcmsdh_probe (owned by kernel)" which leads me to believe that I need to load a custom kernel, since the current driver is loaded and can not be unloaded. Actually lsmod produces no output...which initially lead me to believe that it was broken but now I wonder if all the modules aren't just loaded directly into the kernel (eliminating the need for .ko files). Can anyone confirm that any of this is on the right track? It would also be helpful if one could personally recommend a kernel compilation and packaging tutorial, I can find it on my own if need be.

What OS did you compile it on?
I'm receiving undefined variable warnings, a known issue ( code.google. com/p/bcmon/issues/detail?id=8), when I attempt to compile (make) in Xubuntu 12.10.
The variables appear to be defined in Kconfig, but alas I am a young fish at debugging compile errors.
The steps I've taken:
-Download source code
-Received invalid directory error -> Update Makefile to include the correct directory
-Receiving undefined variable warnings leading to later errors -> stuck understanding the relationship between Makefile and Kconfig

dev activity

this is not to rush the devs, just asking, are they gonna wait till ( i really hope it actually hapens) jb update comes to us to start developing? couse i think our phone haves a lot more to give to us than the stock rom can, again i am not rushing the devs, just asking your oppinion, and since im kinda new to theese forums hardly think any dev is going to bother to even answer this thread
so im pretty much.asking your oppinion
this is just a question , please dont kill me

If you mean Custom Roms... we can't do anything until we can pack / unpack the boot.img/or recovery.img to make a custom recovery.

jeah thats right, i was wondering because my expirience with atrix 2 , previous to the ics update, i was using supercharger rom series, but again i understand that they got a leak to work on, and a bootstrap to flash the restores they where creating, and that stock leaked rom was awesome

Would be nice to know for sure. The current methods cannot find 'Android Magic'.

I'm looking forward to seeing this forum get some custom ROMs too...

Looks like progress is getting on with it now

Any updates on custom ROM making for this device?
I've followed the README from <link to Motorola's sourceforge for razr i, deleted because I'm a new user> , got to the final step, but now I'm stumped. What make target should I choose? 'make full_x86-eng' and 'make generic_x86' have no make rules. A simple 'make' generates a framework build error.
What do I have to do in order to get a bootable image (built from source) for the Razr i?
I'd appreciate any kind of advice. Thanks in advance.
PS: Many thanks Matt, turl1 and the other developers that worked on this device.

You won't be able to build a full android system from that source. The most you can do is
Code:
$ . build/envsetup.sh
$ lunch generic_x86-eng
$ make [I]target[/I]
Where target is something like out/target/product/generic/system/bin/bluetoothd or bluetoothd

I am working on a device tree. Writing it from scratch isn't easy because there is no device I can base this on. No other x86 tree out there. And I still dont have a device. I did make threads requesting for a device but they got closed down. So once I have something built I'll make a new thread.

There's at least 10 device trees on the android-x86 project. And AOSP itself has a generic one, to build the x86 emulator platform. And I made a basic one to build recovery already, with support to generate the newer x86 boot image format.
Just saying

Generic x86 and the razr I are too far apart. Also the android x86 ones are too far apart too (I am working on a android x86 tablet). I have already written more than 450 lines of the device tree by hand, and there is a lot more to go right now. I have patched bionic for x86 builds, I need to patch the build folder next, and even busybox needs patching, etc. I am now working on making a perfect set of the 3 important files, BoardConfing.mk, device.mk and proprietary-files.txt. My android x86 tree is a total of 181 lines (which in itself is twice the size of the trees on android-x86). Its fun, but really time consuming. Also the AOSP ones are generic ones, they will work on any system if you have all the correct drivers installed or compiled via the kernel, but Razr I needs the files to be pulled from the stock build, and it needs a lot of them, including kernel drivers.

I'm playing a bit with AOSP 4.2 as I got some free time. This is what I found out so far:
bionic needed no patches. I seriously doubt it needs any on 4.1 (CM) either as recovery built fine.
build needed no patches either on both cases.
dalvik needed a 4-liner to build on AOSP (makefile fixes), I haven't tried to build it on CM
there's no busybox on AOSP, I patched the one on 4.1 already to be able to build recovery, it's all on CM Gerrit as you'd expect from a CM developer like myself
my tree is already 120 lines, as soon as you add the media decoder config and audio routing config you'll go over 180 lines
having proper drivers isn't enough, you need proper HALs too. And I haven't really looked, but I'd be surprised if you had to pull kernel drivers from the stock rom

1) bionic needs patching, patch already submitted to CM gerrit libdvm basically
2) build needs patching for the boot.img
3) dalvik has been patched
4) Odd, didn't notice that
5) Probably wont required pulling in kernel drivers, but would required pulling in the correct drivers for the defconfig
I'd be happy if you wanted to work together to get this working. PM me

re. 2, I actually did need to patch build on AOSP after all . CM on the other hand, has BOARD_CUSTOM_BOOTIMG_MK from the tf tablets.

Hi Folks
While I don't own a RAZR I , I have been Jaffing around with building CM10.1 and AOSP for x86, I've been getting in going on my FX8120, just need to sort the OpenGLES MESA drivers out.
Anyways I've got CM10.1 built for x86 using the mr1-staging branch ( I think it's been merged to cm10.1 ) and an edited mini-x86 device tree .
Busybox was a B**stard to build though, although on one of the branches there is an .config-minimal-x86 .config-full-x86, still needed tweaking tho.
I submitted my patches http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/27377/ and http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/27373/, however It seems x86 isn't top of cm's agenda.... or I'm missing something about assigning reviewers.
Obviously a base x86 build is only part of the story for you guys as you'll face all the regular problems that emedded devices have, not checked the specs for the RazR but I'm sure there's some binary blobs in your future,
Hack On Folks! :good:

Ubuntu Touch Xoom Port

Hi,
I've got Ubuntu Touch running on my Xoom, not perfectly. I have an LTE Xoom, but I'm building as if it is Wifi Only (I no longer have service on LTE).
Issues:
Font rendering in some places is unreadable.
Display settings have to be manually tweaked in /usr/bin/ubuntu-session to set GRID_UNIT_PX=10
Have not tested sound at all
Camera doesn't seem to work
Haven't tested GPS
Installation instructions:
reboot in recovery
wipe
install base Xoom (Wingray) Image: cm-10.1-20130228-UNOFFICIAL-wingray.zip md5: b1391ff076e67f68f89606c2ae349986
install the Ubuntu 12.10 Touch Preview, daily build quantal-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip*
reboot
use ubuntu_chroot to edit /usr/bin/ubuntu-session and set GRID_UNIT_PX=10
reboot
Fixed:
I'm able to connect to my wifi and use the internet via an adb (ubuntu_chroot shell), but apps including the browser used from the device don't seem to have connectivity.
*This download is a daily snapshot, the latest version may or may not work, I've only tested using the version from 20130228.

Reserve a spot for some more technical details.

I did not unset CONFIG_ANDROID_PARANOID_NETWORKS as it broke the build and I have not had time to investigate it further. Were you able to build with it unset? Is the networking in the apps working for you?

I comment several lines in the kernel source code so I can build it with the flag unset. I still can't fully boot Ubuntu Touch as the libraries used are not in the runtime path so I need to fix it. Will report here when I have time to work on it.

Good luck on the development

This project sounds like it will be good for devs and enhanced users and it keeps the hopes of the xoom staying around for a few more years.
Keep up the work and give us hope.

Did you symlink libraries under /data/ubuntu/usr/lib/armeabihf to /system/lib to boot the system?

Now this is interesting!!!! Xoom is not officially supported by canonical, a 14year old was trying to port it. Even if the device is not listed anymore you can send an email to canonical and tell that you will be the one to port it to xoom! Keep up the good work. i am willing to test your work!

PM'd, I should be able to edit my original post with the download links now.

I can confirm developers have to use phablet-dev-bootstrap tools to build it now. With phablet-dev-bootstrap you will get additional components that are required for Ubuntu Touch. I will test how network going with my build.

Built it and working fine now. With CONFIG_ANDROID_PARANOID_NETWORK unset I can use browser and other network apps without problem. However the usability is not good at current stage.

Porting ROMs

How does one port ROMs to another phone? I'm looking to try and port Xylon to the Find 5.
Sent from my X909 using xda app-developers app

it's really not that difficult. just have to adjust some overlays, change some stuff in vendor and maybe grab the camera from CM if the changes haven't been made to that ROM.

if you are building from source:
Find the 4.2.2 source code of the ROM you want to port
Get the manifest.
Add the CM10.1 device/kernel tree and proprietary libs in the .repo/local_manifest/roomservice.xml
sync all the repos
(do whatever the source might need you to set up: EG paranoid android, need you to setup your device properly in vendor/pa/* files)
compile. Fix any problems(maybe missing files, etc)
you could try a non-4.2.2-based ROM to port, but you'll run into more incompatibility issues to fix

then see how I get the device specific files here? do the same https://git.ngvincent.com/projects/oppo-x909-cm10/wiki/Build#Get-device-specific-sources-and-build

use google and your own intuition to help you (this is why you should build the Cm10.1 ROM first.... the knowledge you gain will help you)
most likely either github is down, or the path referencing it is invalid, or something......
but the question is, do we need htc-msm8960? most likely no, since the oppo kernel is self contained
^^^ all this comes from experience.... seriously, go build cm10.1 for the find 5 first

but the question is, do we need htc-msm8960? most likely no, since the oppo kernel is self contained
^^^ all this comes from experience.... seriously, go build cm10.1 for the find 5 first

we probably dont need it, but a lot of ROMs make you download ALL their devices and corresponding files.

Well, I removed the HTC lines from manifest.xml (maybe not a good idea?) but anyway, it finished syncing after.

yeah... it's a problem with a simple fix.... if the error was something like "packages_mms_app", then it's a more serious problem.....
does removing that repo mask a larger problem? that's why I'm pushing for OP to start small first by building CM10.1, and learn the environment (instead of posting every single problem he encounters here, and asks for help)
I've only started playing with android source code in March/early april... and these are things that I've learned/picked up since then.

Understood. I'm syncing up the Cm10 now. Thanks!
Is is best to do this all on Linux, Mac, or Windows?

It isn't possible to do it on windows so one of the other two.

Cool thanks. I just "finished" my compile on my Mac 10.7.8 but there was something about gcc422 not found. I have the latest XCode installed along with Dev tools. So can anyone help cause I didn't see anything with a Google.
I presume a clean Ubuntu is preferred

even on ubuntu, you still have to get specific packages: need oracle version of jdk, not openjdk, need to remove some incompatible stuff
heres a guide for ubuntu 12.10

I tried compiling CM10, and am even having problems with that. Google did not seem to help for this. Here is what I did:
I did the mka, then mka otapackage, and NOTHING is appearing. No zips at all.
Code:
hardware/qcom/media/mm-video/vidc/vdec/src/omx_vdec.cpp:9925:138: warning: format '%d' expects argument of type 'int', but argument 5 has type 'OMX_U32 {aka long unsigned int}' [-Wformat]
make: *** wait: No child processes. Stop.
That is the last fine before it gives me control of terminal again.

a few tips
typically, compilers only stop when there's an error, not warnings (unless you set flags like -Werror )
compiling is parallelized.... let's say you have a quad core, you can compile 4 projects simultaneously... when you have an error on the first make file, it stops.... but the other 3 projects will continue compiling and outputting logs until they're done (then the scheduler sees the first make file has an error, doesn't execute any more make builds and halts), so the last log file/line might not be showing you the error
For CM10.1, find5 is official now... you can just use brunch instead of breakfast/lunch & mka

In essence, I scour the log for errors?
I just presumed as CM10 already existed on the Oppo Find 5, it would be an error-free compile.

you could source the log for errors
or just run the compile script again and again.... the scheduler will continue building other packages, but it'll come to a point where it can't build anything else without that broken package.... and hence, the error in the log will be obvious(since everything else is already built, no logs from them)
it should be an error-free compile, but sometimes things could happen (a small tweak in package/A gives some problems when compiling with package/B)
I would say, most likely there's some build package incompatibility in your system.

[GUIDE] How to Compile Your Own CM11/CM12/AOSP Kernel

Hi guys, long time no post. I have updated this guide on how to build kernels for Falcon so that anyone can learn! It's pretty simple once you get the hang of it. So yeah, here we go!
Prerequisites:
- You must have a Linux firmware running on your computer (I suggest Builduntu because you can skip the next one [build environment setup])
- Build environment setup (Put the this in terminal and follow instructions)
- Patience and a heart willing to learn
- You need to know the languages C, C++, Java, Ruby, Python... NOT! You don't need to know ANY coding languages.
[MOTIVATIONAL SPEECH]
Truth be told, when I first started out developing, I knew NO coding languages except for HTML and a little bit of Java. Both have nothing to do with kernels! I actually learned how to do this when I suffered from a concussion. So if you really want to learn how to kernel dev and you give up halfway, just know that a 14/15 year old kid could do it..

WARNING: I am not responsible for any damages to your phone or computer or pet unicorn. When you modify the wrong partitions, set too many jobs for your compiler, break your keyboard out of frustration etc., that is not anyone's fault but yours. Or your pet unicorn.
Your Personal Handbook to the Following:
- Anything inside "CODE" boxes, type it into your terminal. If you can't find terminal, then press CTRL, ALT, t.
- If I were you, I would write these by hand instead of copying and pasting it because after a certain amount of times, you will remember the linux commands and it will be easier for you to compile more kernels for different devices
- Use this thread as a "Help Me" button. Ask for help!

A New Beginning:
Let's start out with something simple, getting the actual code:
Code:
git clone https://github.com/cyanogenmod/android_kernel_motorola_msm8226
This could range from 3 minutes to 2 hours!
Once that's done, open up your file manager and rename the folder (should be android_kernel_motorola_msm8226) to whatever you want. I will refer it as "mykernel".
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Pokemon!
For this tutorial, we will be using a Sabermod 4.7 toolchain to compile. I WOULD teach you how to compile with 4.8+, but it creates errors that will take even longer for me to write about sooooooooo :fingers-crossed:. Now to get the toolchain:
Code:
git clone https://github.com/SaberMod/android_prebuilts_gcc_linux-x86_arm_sabermod-arm-eabi-4.7
Rename this to whatever you like, but I will be referring this as "toolchain"
Now go into you folder where the kernel source is stored...
Code:
cd mykernel
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You're Almost There!:
Time to set-up the compiler!
Code:
export CROSS_COMPILE=/home/(insert linux home name here)/toolchain/bin/arm-eabi-
This tells the toolchain that "OK, we want to make ALL this code here into a kernel".
This next line tells it that your defconfig (the toolchain's manual for compiling the kernel) that it's in the arch/arm/configs folder.
Code:
export ARCH=arm
Now to tell the it what the defconfig is!
Code:
make falcon_defconfig
Hehe, now to the hardest part of all...
MuHAHHAHAHa
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
THE HARD (coding) PART
You ready for this? HERE IT IS! TIME TO BUILD THE KERNEL!
Code:
make -j4
Now sit back, relax, and watch the code! Or you could read a book, watch ****, count your fingers, play with your toes...
If you have an error during the waterfall of code, find the part where it actually says *error* (you'll probably have to scroll upwards) and search it on Google or post it here.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
THE BEST PART
If you manage to get something that says "the kernel zImage is ready" or something like that, that means you've made it!
You have officially compiled your own kernel from source! Now you need to put it in a flashable zip.
Download this file and open it up, but DON'T EXTRACT IT.
Now go to your kernel source then "CTRL + F" and search for "zimage-dtb".
Find it and put it in the "kernel" folder of "FalconKernel - Signed.zip". Then "CTRL + F" and search ".ko".
Copy radio-iris-transport.ko and put it in the system/lib/modules (not pronto) of the zip.
Then find wlan.ko and rename it to pronto_wlan.ko. Copy and paste it in system/lib/modules/pronto of the zip.

Now you can put it on your phone and flash it! ​

I will update this in a bit. What feature would you guys want in your kernel? The most votes in the POLL above will be the one I teach you here!
Here I will walk you through on how to add the intelliplug feature made by @faux123
First, fetch my Green Machine kernel source (go into your kernel folder in terminal):
Code:
git fetch https://github.com/YoshiShaPow/green_machine_falcon
Then you could cherry-pick (basically copy) all my cherry picks for intelliplug from my source.
If you do check my source out, you can see there's a little link to a history of commits near the middle of the screen, right above the files/folders. You can see at this page of my features history, you'll see a bunch of commits for intelliplug. I will use those commits and copy it to your own kernel.
This copies the initial coding/first commit of intelliplug!
Code:
git cherry-pick 01a850f
This cherry-picks the remaining commits so that your newly added intelliplug is updated.
Code:
git cherry-pick 6623f2f^..4e1ece7
One more thing though, you need to add the line to compile intelliplug!
Almost all things compiled along with the zImage are in a file called defconfig. What a defconfig does, is tell your machine to build certain modules, kernel objects, drivers, governors, etc.etc.etc.. Now, all of them are found in the folder
arch/arm/configs
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
As stated in the OP, you have to modify the defconfig you use. (CM11 Kernel is falcon_defconfig, Gummy Kernel is msm8226_mmi_defconfig). Open up the corresponding defconfig and add this to ANY line anywhere.
Code:
CONFIG_INTELLI_PLUG=m
Now, for those who are familiar with "y=yes/n=no/m=maybe", you'll see that I specifically told you to put the "m=maybe" one. That's because when you compile the kernel again, right after you're about to start your build. Since you put that "m", the terminal will prompt you with a "y=yes/n=no" question on whether or not you would like to add the following feature. Since you would like to add the feature, put in "y". Later on when you feel more comfortable with adding features to your kernel, you can go back into the defconfig and put it as
Code:
CONFIG_INTELLI_PLUG=y
So that it will compile it without asking, since you have given it an answer.
Now you have officially compiled a "Custom Kernel" and with the knowledge you know, you could create a feature packed one by just kanging (copying one's work/features).
Always remember to
Code:
make clean && make mrproper
after every build to prevent errors and such!

I will use this to teach you how to make your own Bash Building scripts (and save time) to make it easier for your development life to flourish... eventually....

DT2W and S2W are more complex. They require a few other things (ex. Powersuspend). I'll wait a bit and see what feedback I get before moving forward to something a bit more complex like DT2W, or GPU Overclock.

Can i use make menuconfig?

Yes you can. Normally when using "make menuconfig", you use the command after making the kernel's defconfig (falcon_defconfig).

When you downloaded the anykernel zip, you aren't supposed to extract it. The best way to put the kernel in the zip is to just drag and drop it while IN LINUX. It will not work for windows! Or you could try signing the zip in TWRP (I think there's an option for that somewhere).

No problem, I welcome anyone with kernel development questions here! When booted, what do you mean? And if there's no display, how do you know it booted? Also, did you use my anykernel zip? I may be wrong but I don't think it is compatible with all phones.

yeah it booted bro....i can hear lock unlock sound and even i can hear incoming call ring
i was trying to fix this from a week and found out it not kernel it rom problem ...
my device is build using prebuilt kernel so any compile kernel wont work...but now they are build with this kernel source so compile kernel work
thanks bro...
and one thing bro... i m new to kernel development so how can i optimize kernel
i know about and can add governors and use custom toolchain but i don't know about o2 or o3 optimization etc and all
sorry if i m being too much

great I start today

Those changes are a bit more advanced because it will bring build errors. The kernel is already preoptimized with o2 changes. The errors are fixable though. I don't think I'll be able to add an explanation for those in this thread, maybe through pm?
