[Q] MMS question about Droid X on Cricket

So I've been tinkering with my Droid X on Cricket for the last two months. Got the FlyX rom on it. I was able to flash it right after I got it and everything works...except for MMS, which has been flaky. I have probably flashed this phone at least 10 times now and I can always get everything working except for MMS. I have the same problem with my fianceé's Droid 2 as well.
After going through APN's, PRL's, triple-checking all settings in QPST and CDMA WS, checking my account w/Cricket, etc. etc. it seems I finally narrowed it down to an autostart.sh issue.
I could be wrong but here's what happens - when I use the autostart.sh in Token's zip my MMS works perfectly every single time, the 3G icon is there but I have no internet or market or app data. When I use the autostart.sh from Whiterabbit's site then all data works perfectly except MMS.
I tried creating my own autostart.sh, incorporating parts of Token's along with the static IP from Whiterabbit but that resulted in no data and no MMS.
Here's the two files. First, the autostart.sh from Whiterabbit's site:
#!/system/bin/sh
export PATH="$PATH:/system/bin"
iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
iptables -F
iptables -t nat -F
iptables -X
iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -o ppp0 -p 6 ! -d 10.132.25.254 -j REDIRECT --to-port 1025
u2nl 10.132.25.254 8080 127.0.0.1 1025 >/dev/null 2>&1 &
sh -c "sleep 5;kill `ps|grep nk.bla.android.autostart|grep -v grep|awk '{print $2}'`" &
exit 0
And here's the autostart.sh from Token's zip:
#!/system/bin/sh
export PROXYHOST=wap.mycricket.com
export PROXYPORT=8080
#you shouldn't have to edit anything below this line
export PATH="$PATH:/system/bin"
until netcfg|grep -v DOWN|awk '{print $1}'|grep -v wlan|grep -v lo >/dev/null 2>&1 ; do sleep 1 ; done
export INTERFACE=`netcfg|grep -v DOWN|awk '{print $1}'|grep -v wlan|grep -v lo`
export PROXYIP=`ping -c 1 $PROXYHOST|grep PING|cut -d\) -f1|cut -d\( -f2`
iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
iptables -F
iptables -t nat -F
iptables -X
iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -o $INTERFACE -p tcp -d 10/8 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -o $INTERFACE -p tcp -d 172.16/12 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -o $INTERFACE -p tcp -d 192.168/16 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -o $INTERFACE -p tcp -j REDIRECT --to-port 1025
u2nl $PROXYIP $PROXYPORT 127.0.0.1 1025 >/dev/null 2>&1 &
sh -c "sleep 5;kill `ps|grep nk.bla.android.autostart|grep -v grep|awk '{print $2}'`" >/dev/null 2>&1 &
exit 0
It is insanely frustrating to be so close to a fully functional phone. Clearly I don't know enough to be able to create a good autostart.sh file. Any suggestions?

Bump....
Should I post this in the Droid X forum?

Finally managed to create an autostart.sh file that works for me as well as my fiancee's Droid 2. PM me if anyone needs it.

Droid X Cricket MMS not working
I've been having the same problem. I'm on the android $55 plan so that my wife gets faster speed. I'm using this link below but not using the ROMS. What other settings did you use to get it working? What plan are you on and what speed are you getting?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881883

I just saw I had a bunch of PM's from people...I figured I would get notified via email about that, but I guess I should check that.
Sorry to anyone who's been waiting a while for this autostart file, but here it is. Just remove the .zip at the end of the file name. By the way, ever since I created this autostart file my MMS worked great. until about a week ago and then it stopped working on my Droid X and Droid 2 on the same day. Some other cricket users were having the same issue but I think we've got that fixed now.
I switched both phones to the $55 Android plan and made a couple quick changes which I posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010880&page=4
Obviously using the $55 Android plan I am no longer using austostart.sh and u2nl. If you want to try this, you don't have to flash a new ROM...just do the ##PROGRAM and APN settings.

autostart.sh
Will you please send me the autostart file that you created? This is to get the mms working on the Droid X? I am having a hard time with this and is very frustrating. And may I ask what you do with the autostart file? I downloaded the program but however it does not appear in my app list, I think it is saved somewhere on my sd card......Would you mind giving me a brief explanation on how this app and this file is supposed to work or what I am supposed to do with them? my email is [email protected]. thank you so much.

if u hv HTC sense on ur device, just tick the INTERNET PASS THROUGH option from the notification tab
and the system will do the rest
cheers

check out screenshot below

thanks for your replies
lynxnoon : yes I'v tried to do that, it will be connected to the PC but without internet connection.

ensure the adapters (esp the wired) are updated online and then try again.
Also ensure theres is pass through connection on ur fone and then try to browse with the in-built browser.
If all these still doesnt work then u have to find out if the internet service provider alllows tethering or the modem u r using.
cheers

When I connect my phone and choose internet passthrough, the phone chooses ip address in the 192.168.99.0/24. If yours creates a different subnet you will have to change below accordingly.
I hope this solves your problem.
Edit /etc/rc.local sudo nano /etc/rc.local and add the following:
echo 1 | sudo tee /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward > /dev/null
iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE -s 192.168.99.0/24
iptables -A FORWARD -i eth0 -o usb0 -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -i usb0 -o eth0 -j ACCEPT
#forward all dns queries from usb0 to google's dns server
iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -i usb0 -p udp --dport 53 -j DNAT --to 8.8.8.8
then at terminal type:
sudo /etc/rc.local
that will get you connectivity, but it will be short lived because htc is stupid and will disconnect if it doesn't detect the winblows htc software crap.
So you will need to fake it out. Turns out the phone is listening for htc software on port 6000 for 00 02 00 00 hex.
first you have to find the ip address of your phone (if arp doesn't work or you get command not found, you probably need to sudo arp):
phoneip=$(arp -n | grep usb0 | awk 'BEGIN {FS=" "} {print $1}')
then you tell the phone that htc software is listening:
echo -n -e "\x00\x02\x00\x00" | nc $phoneip 6000 > /dev/null
To make that automagic each time us a script. Call it htcfaker or whatever:
#!/bin/bash
while :; do
phoneip=$(arp -n | grep usb0 | awk 'BEGIN {FS=" "} {print $1}')
while [ -z $phoneip ]; do
sleep 15
phoneip=$(arp -n | grep usb0 | awk 'BEGIN {FS=" "} {print $1}')
done
echo -n -e "\x00\x02\x00\x00" | nc $phoneip 6000 > /dev/null
while [ "$phoneip" != "" ]; do
sleep 15
phoneip=$(arp -n | grep usb0 | awk 'BEGIN {FS=" "} {print $1}')
done
done
Then in your startup applications, point to that script.
Hope it helps!

I'm using unrooted HTC Sensation XE and Ubuntu 12.04 64-Bits, with these scripts Internet Pass Through works beautifully!:laugh::good:

Did anyone experienced the problem that this stopped working after a day or so?
When I plug into the phone now it just wont give a ipv4 address therefore theres nothing to re-route through the pc?

Mine still working without any problem after 2 months. I can only suggest you to check 2 things:
Ensure your /etc/rc.local file is not changed due to any Ubuntu update
You have to run the "htcfaker" script in Terminal before plugging in your phone. Do not close this Terminal until you want to disconnect.

I have updated /etc/rc.local file but I'm getting below error what needs to be done? I'm newbie to Linux, neverthless tried to look into many forums but couldn't get it resolved.. Please help !!

iptables v1.4.18: can't initialize iptables table `nat': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
Please let me know if any other info needs to be provided. Thanks in advance for your help !!

Please check the following line in your /etc/rc.local:
iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE -s 192.168.99.0/24
You have to change the IP subnet (highlighted in red font above) to match your phone's IP address. If your phone use 192.168.1.2 for example, then you'll have to change the IP subnet to 192.168.1.0/24.
To find your phone's IP address, first connect your phone to your PC in USB Tethering mode. Then on your PC side open a Terminal and issue the command "arp" (without the quotes) which shall give you the IP address of your phone.
Good luck!:laugh:

Script update required for recent phones?
This script didn't work for me on my M8 - the Sync hex data seems to have grown, and just passing the \x00\x02\x00\x00 string caused the pass through to immediately disconnect with failure message "Either you do not have the latest version of HTC Sync Manager installed, or another phone is already using Internet pass-through on your PC".
Changing the line in the script as below fixes it:
Code:
echo -n -e "\x00\x02\x00\x00" | nc $phoneip 6000 > /dev/null
Code:
echo -n -e "\x00\x02\x00\x00\x00\x03\x00\x00\x00\x05\x00\x00" | nc $phoneip 6000 > /dev/null
I got this from vc0528.tumblr.com/post/71168788542/simulate-htc-sync-manager-via-usb-on-linux-os, which also has the alternative Perl script, which works a treat too:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use IO::Socket::INET;
#6000/tcp open X11
do{
open IN,”/proc/net/arp”; @arp=<IN>; close IN;
@d=grep ! /00:00:00:00:00:00/,grep /0x2.*usb0/,@arp;
} until($d[0]);
$_=$d[0]; s/\ .*//; chomp; print “sock:\t$_\n”;
my $sock = IO::Socket::INET->new(PeerAddr => $_ , PeerPort => 6000, Type=>SOCK_STREAM, Proto=>”tcp”) or die “Can not create socket [email protected]\n”;
print $sock “\x00\x02\x00\x00”;
print $sock “\x00\x03\x00\x00”;
print $sock “\x00\x05\x00\x00”;
close $sock;
Finally, if it helps anyone, I was wanting to set up a wifi range extender and so my IPtables was:
Code:
-A FORWARD -i wlan1 -o usb0 -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
-A FORWARD -i usb0 -o wlan1 -j ACCEPT

[Q] Fido LTE wifi hotspot not working on CM10/AOKP

Hey, anyone have the same problem as me? I can tether using HSPA, but when doesn't work on LTE.
I've tried in Sense based roms and LTE wifi hotspot works.

Which APN are you using!? I'm on fido using ltemobile.apn and its working for me on cm10.
Sent from my One X using xda app-developers app

Yes I am... ltemobile.apn is the only APN that can access lte. Which nightly are you on? I'm on Nov 7.

I'm having the same problem as you -- on Rogers though (same thing as FIDO really).
HTC One X (evita) running CM10 -- LTE enabled, tethering does not work. Switch to HSPA(+), tethering works fine.
EDIT: I *just* upgraded to cm-10.0.0 (stable) and it behaves the same.

Same here, on Rogers. Both AOKP JB M1 and CM10 Stable do not give me an LTE signal while the same SIM will give me LTE if i used my RAZR HD.
Is it the ROM? because its never been a problem about a month ago.

Are you saying you don't get LTE? Does it say 4g at the top?
Q: My signal strength says 4G. Why is there no LTE?
A: E=Edge, 3G = UMTS, H = HSPA/HSPA+, 4G = LTE

it says either 3G or H. In fact it flips between the two like i have never seen.
*#*#INFO#*#* trick doesnt work (WCDMA/GSM/LTE is selected), Apn is correct (LTE is selected).
this is actually getting annoying to be honest.
I just tried a very old CM10 nightly, and it still will not work even on that. Im going to go to a Sense ROM and give that a try. Maybe its AOSP?
Edit:
This is what I don't get: Sense ROMs work fine for it. I got LTE as soon as I booted it up (Viper). Stock Android ROMs don't work for it?

Same for me. I'm guessing it is an issue with the CM10 ROM. I also had the same issue with AOKP. Right now using CM10 on Rogers. When i use the ltemobile.apn access point and i'm connected to 4G then the tethering will not share data with any device connected to the tether. If i switch back to rogers-core-appl1.apn which is the original 3g/H+ then it works fine.

Hi guys, I dont have a One X, but im on Rogers with a SGS3 and I have this same problem on cm10, so im thinking this is an AOSP issue. Please let us know if anyone finds a fix. thanks ^ ^

CM10 seems to have a bug, where LTE + hotspot doesn't add the required firewall rules.
You can execute the below (as root) with LTE + hotspot on to enable the correct forwarding.
Code:
iptables -A bw_FORWARD -i !lo+
iptables -A natctrl_FORWARD -j RETURN -i rmnet+ -o wlan0 -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED
iptables -A natctrl_FORWARD -j DROP -i wlan0 -o rmnet+ -m state --state INVALID

It will stick until a reboot. Note that when these rules are in place, any traffic originating from the wireless adapter can forward out any cellular radio connection.
It's not a pretty solution, but it works for the meantime.

usb tether?
Thank you very much for this! This works flawlessly on a Nexus 4 w/ Rogers LTE. Previously I had the same problem where I could only tether when I was on HSPA+.
Question: I would want to enable USB tethering as well. I tried substituting wlan0 with usb0 as the -o value, but that didn't work. Could you give some suggestions on how this could be done? It would be great if there's a way to route both usb and wlan to rmnet, but I would be happy if I could just get the USB tethering to work. Thanks in advance!

Can you get me the output of "adb shell netcfg" once LTE is active? This should be fixable by adding the correct LTE interface ID in the overlay.

Now the problem is that if I ping a public IP it works, but if I ping or curl the corresponding domain it fails "unknown host", "could not resolve".
What the heck should I do in order to make DNS working?
Thanks a lot for your help

Hi! Unfortunately, I have no idea on how to fix these issues, but if you'd be willing to try a different reverse tethering solution, you might want to try ReverseTethering NoRoot, an app I have developed. I have opened a dedicated thread over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-reversetethering-noroot-t3316716

Hi did you end up resolving this issue? I have the exact same problem. Can ping any site but DNS lookup fails. Then I installed DNSsetter app which allows me to change the dns server. Now I can do DNS lookups and it resolves correctly but none of the apps do not appear to be aware of the fact that the phone is using reverse USB tethering.

[Completed] How to OUTPUT only cellular data ... [remove this one please, moved my question]

Asked this question in now in General -> Networking as per advice from user Art Vandalay

volleb said:
Goal: Only allow outgoing cellular data to specific DNS servers and a specific webserver using cellular mode on rooted android device.
Android phone #1: VkWorld F1 (Chipset. MT6580) running Android 5.1
Android phone #2: HUAWEI Y560-L01 running Android 5.1
Active interfaces on Android #1 when cellular mode is on.
Code:
lo UP 127.0.0.1/8
ccmni0 UP x.x.x.x/x
Active interfaces on Android #2 when cellular mode is on.
Code:
lo UP 127.0.0.1/8
rmnet_data0 UP x.x.x.x/x
This is my current simple iptables for testing on Android #1 and #2
Code:
-P INPUT ACCEPT
-P FORWARD ACCEPT
-P OUTPUT ACCEPT
-A OUTPUT -o lo -j ACCEPT
-A OUTPUT -d 8.8.8.8 -p tcp -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT //DNS
-A OUTPUT -d x.x.x.x -p tcp -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT //webserver
-A OUTPUT -j DROP
These iptables rules works on Android device #2 or any Android phone that has 'rmnet' interface (from my own testing).
These iptables rules DO NOT work on Android device #1 or any Android phone that has 'ccmni' interface (from my own testing)
And if I add or change in my android #1 to
Code:
-A OUTPUT -o ccmni0 -d x.x.x.x -p tcp -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
it can NOT still contact the destination ip.
However if I add this line before the last -j DROP rule it works
Code:
iptables -A OUTPUT -o ccmni0 -j ACCEPT
but this allows ccmni interface to talk freely to any website and makes my dns and webserver rule pointless.
Once again:
Devices rmnet interfaces = rules works.
Devices with ccmni interfaces = rules do not work.
