[Q] Does openvpn work for you? - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Openvpn does not work for me, I get local (unbound)
It seems the tun module for the kernel is missing or smth, but I was heavily modifying my system and would like to know if it works for you?
I might be wrong but I think I did use it on my note 3 before, but cant really remember...
Just a simple yes or no is already enough for me please.

anyone?

OpenVPN (tap adapter) works great for me, running through mine now. I use the openvpn settings app to manage the connection. I use bridging mode so I'm not sure about the tun module as bridging uses tap. Works over wifi and mobile on T-Mo's $30 prepaid plan.

thanks man, did you have to install anything beside the openvpn settings?

The openvpn binary, I had to extract it from the OpenVPN installer apk and copy it to /system/xbin as the installer app doesn't work right.

Ahh I tried to use the one from the openvpn connect app, but it doesnt work right.
But I think its because of me modifying my system so hard.
garh everything is working fine just not openvpn.
Dont want to login to google without vpn, can you maybe upload the binaries and libs from the openvpn installer apk or the apk itself or send via pm or smth? Its free right? Just cant download it through play store myself as long as i got no vpn hehe.
Don't want to reinstall everything again ...... argh =).. man im so close to trip my knox purposely just to have nandroid backups to avoid this reflash bs when things dont work suddenly ..
(or i need to figure out whats causing this... i already checked the binary permissions etc.. sigh)

There's a link to the apk there, it's open source on google code. It also tells you how to extract and install from the command line if you have the terminal emulator app.

I didn't follow the instructions exactly, just ran the unzip command on the phone and moved the file to system/xbin from the phone as well, you don't need a PC to install it.

thanks again.
Do you have an idea what could break the openvpn? It shouldnt be dependant on any apk or? (I heavily debloated my system) - I got vpndialogs still off course.
Its allowed in afwall+, runs as root but still no connection

Kitchen issue? (Solved)

FYI I am not an Android DEV, but I have a few suggestions to try
Install or reinstall:
-Android SDK
-Java JDK (Different from the "standard" JDE....)
-.NET Framework? Seems crazy and un likeltly, yet worth looking at as a last resort. Youd be surprised how many things rely on .Net framework... despite it often not being installed on the OS.
PS I know .NET framework is probably WAY off.... yet with the minimal info you offered I figure it is worth a shot.
Any chance you can add a screenshot?

[Q] just rooted

I rooter my G4 for the first time, I think all went well but I have a question. I tried to install the free version of TBU but I got a "root failed" message but other root apps work such as root explorer and setcpu. If I click on SU in my app drawer I get a message "super user must be updated" or something to that effect. I think this happened to me once before but its been so long. Not sure if I click the update option within SU or if I download the SU fixer in the play store.

Just let SU update uninstall tibu, then reinstall and see if that works. In order for tibu to work SU has to grant it permission.
So you sugest I uninstall TBU and reinstall it? I'll try that but what about the update message I get when I click on SU?

What recery do you have
How do I check? I grabbed my stock G4 and used the motochopper root method. I've read a lot of other random links were people had the same issue. I double checked other root apps I have and they don't work. I'm able to enter app but it's "read only" mode.

try this go setting>more scroll down to about phone then scroll down to build number then keep tapping it till it counts down 3-2-1 development open then hit the back button click development option thev check the usb debugging box.
---------- Post added at 10:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:35 PM ----------
I dont use motochopper I use root and recovery from casual where it roots and installs twrp 2501. Its my favorite because I can root and unroot as often as I like with it and Odin whenever I run into issues because I like experimenting on my phone.
Well, I already had USB debugging checked when I rooted. I unchecked it and tried updating and root apps...same result.

ok let me first
1. what firmware are you
2. what recovery are you using
try one more thing go into recovery>advance>fix permissions and see if that allows you to update su again.
I havent installed a custom recovery. I literally rooted my phone 30 minutes ago and tried a few root apps to see if the root worked or not. Im yet to install a custom ROM or recovery.

go to the play store and download an app called root checker run it to see if the root actually took or not

you may not have root. moto may not have done it. What firmware is the phone is it MDL or MF3
go to settings>more>about phone> then scroll down to baseband tell me what it says.
Here it is
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Your on MF3 as far as I been reading you can not root with motochopper. There is a way to root but also on MF3 you can not install a custom rom as well they are still working on it.
Go to the development section and do a little more reading or you can brick the phone rendering it useless Sorry for the bad news.

S5 DE rooted not recognized in ADB

I'm having trouble getting my Samsung Galaxy S5 DE device recognized. I'm trying to backup partitions (script by @pball52998) but the phone will not connect and adb doesn't see it on Mac. I'm on stock rom but rooted. ADB dubbuging is enabled on phone. I'm on the latest version of ADB and it had worked with my previous droid from HTC. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the adb program along with kies which is now uninstalled so I can use Android File Transfer. I DO NOT have access to ODIN on a PC! And it's a hassle to borrow PC from friend. So please do not ask about PC options.
Methods and troubleshooting:
Tried checking on/off debugging in developers options. Result was no change. Left enabled.
I can not find adb_usb.ini file

Already did. Doesn't work. I went back to stock ROM that I'm not able to tether. Everything else works write to ext SD card and I'm rooted.
Never mind I was talking about tethering not adb.
If you are trying to just back up partition. Just open terminal emulator and run as su then just dd from there

I could make a modified framework-res.apk for odex but honestly if you couldn't get the Wifi hotspot to work on the rom it was baked into then I doubt you will have any luck with it.
If you are the guy from DF it sounded like you had other items other than a fresh install without a restore of apps and data.

Indeed I am that guy. As i said before it was a fresh install with the rom+hotspot patch and said it was successfully installed. I then wiped cache, davilk and proceed forward. I did not go into titanium to restore apps and data however Play Store had started auto restoring apps but i had stopped it.

Do you use an adblocker of some form? If so try disabling it or revert it's changes. I use adfree, which modifies the host file, but I get a different error (host cannot be found). When I revert the changes it works fine. I was using tapatalk pro, but I've switched ot xda premium...now it works fine..
I uninstalled adblock plus and get this error now instead:

what about a different browser? or clearing the data from app manager and trying again? I get that exact issue with adfree from bigtincan, as soon as I revert the hosts file it works. I got rid of tapatalk and will never use it again as I only use it for xda now. my company community used to use it but since we switched to lithium community tapatalk doesn't work with it. xda premium uses a different redirector which isn't affected by this issue...
Yeah its a strange one. I've tried stock browser, chrome and dolphin but still can't open links on XDA using the official app. Tried uninstalling adblock and rebooting too.

it's weird how the xda free and xda premium apps have different redirectors. maybe because of this reason. at this point I would suspect some dns issue though. what if you use that same link on a computer or other device? Does it work? Or not? If your router/gateway is doing adblocking of some form then it probably is blocking it at that level...just a thought. I can also duplicate it with one of my routers when I use a host style ad blocking at the gateway.
I hate XDA premium app, I have actually bought it but prefer the free one. My laptop works fine with downloading links connected to the same wifi that my phone is connected to. I get the same error on my phone whether I'm on wifi or mobile network.
Well something you've installed is interfering with it either directly or by modifying the hosts. OR maybe your ROM has a non-default hosts file.

heh, I didn't even think to look for a flashable hosts. Mine is fine, but that's an easier idea. I suspect it's non-default, triggering this issue. It's the onyl thing that makes sense especially on multiple WANs (WWAN + WLAN) AND different browsers.
I just ended up wiping my rom and installing a new one which seems to have solved it.

Great job
Hey -- Great job. I had absolutely no issues loading the ROM with CWM and then doing the initial startup configuration (including voicemail). After that, all my apps installed like a breeze (even the Z Launcher TouchWiz replacement). Now, the WiFi tether works like a dream and it's actually faster to use than the stock rom.
My only wish is that I could make Mercury the default browser because even Chrome is a little touchy on sites like XDA and Reddit. Anyway -- great job on this port and on how solid it is.

Did you have the same issue on CM11? I did. The only fix I found was to flash a Touchwiz rom and connect the GPS once booted up. Then, leaving the GPS on, flash back to CM. So far the fix has stuck through many reboots.

GPS Working
Hey thannks very much for the help. The method using sourceforge files worked perfectly.. Evrything is working on this rom until i bounce up on something else..
I don't know much about the process of a flashed phone as my Sprint S4 is flashed to Boost Mobile... I can't get this Ron to work properly although I haven't done an internal wipe... unless Phils Recovery factory wipe for a new Rom does that... but if not would an internal wipe affect the flash at all?

I tried TWRP as well with the same results.... when i goto phone settings the Carrier doesnt allow me to edit and the Voicemail setting is dimmed and cannot get into it at all.. and i have pushed the APN but still nothing.. since i am running a flashed to Boost phone... i should still get 3g but dont work
What's the path to delete and add the new apn file?? Everything works except data.
What version of TWRP are you using, if you are using and old one update it that maybe is the root cause of your problems.

I got the same version of TWRP and was install from ODIN.
1. the ROM is been download from another device or from S4.
is the answers is S4 you need to download from a netbook laptop or PC. you maybe got a corrupted download.

Found the apn conf.xml file.
Es Explorer won't let me erase original file nether replace it with the one downloaded. Root explorer let's me erase one and replace it but phone doesn't boot up. So I have to re flash this rom so I can use the phone. So my question is how do I change the permision? Is this done at the pop up where depending what you check, under shows this numbers? 0644 or 7200
