[Q] tun.ko for Xoom 3.2?

Hi!
I would like to establish a Cisco IPSEC-connection with my Xoom, using get-a-robot-vpnc. The problem is that I'm missing a tun-kernel-module and can't find one for the xoom on the web
Does anyone have one for the Xoom WiFi only running 3.2 (Build HTJ85B) with stock kernel?
Thanks!

Thanks, I tried this but it looks like it's only for that ROM.
Maybe someone else has a tun-kernel-module for the stock 3.2?!
Greetings
McDV

yup, I'd like to see this too..

Just instal tiamat kernel 2.1 it contains tun.ko and several other modules.

also you need to use this modified vpn connections

Here is tun.ko for 3.2 stock.

wonderful! many, many thanks.

hi,
Will this work on 3.2.1? I copied it /system/lib/modules but when I try to openvpn I get cannot allocate tun/tap dev dynamically.
Is this just a bad file for 3.2.1 or am I missing something else?
I did install busybox and openvpn.
Thanks,

Your tun.ko kernel module needs to be compiled specifically against your kernel source. I don't work with stock anymore, however the developer kernel now floating on xda have this module specifically rolled into their kernels. You would have to root however to install these kernels.

Thanks Kevdog..
I searched and i couldn't find any for 3.2.1. I am the rooted stock 3.2.1 already downloaded from xda. Just need to tun.ko for 3.2.1.
If u know where to find, please send me the link.
Thanks.

Ok 3.2.1 -- Stock or Rooted? What kernel are you running?

I got my rom from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1278214
Thanks,

Ok -- I know this is a lot of work, however I tried it myself and I'm not sure if the rom you linked to is corrupted or my download process failed. (***Rant -- why all the developers who put out files don't match the file to an md5 sum so us users can verify the integrity of the dowload -- I'll never know!!), but I can't seem to extract your system.img. You'll need a tool such as unyaffs to unpack the system.img and then search around in the modules folder until you find the tun.ko. Or you could just flash a Tiamat 3.2.1 kernel which has these modules built in!!

I checked checksum and it was correct before I installed it. Not sure what u mean, I thought this rom doesn't have it period.
I also tried to use tiamat 2.2 which says its for 3.2 but it got stuck at boot for 30 minutes at the honeycomb screen. I thought maybe tiamat ker
Net doesn't support 3.2.1 yet.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1200063
As far as i know this is latest. Doesn't mention 3.2.1. Didn't work for me.
I don't want to go to tiamat rom to avoid a full rebuild.

[Q]Android Revolution HD - Is this ROM really for Asus EeePad Transformer TF101 ?

Hi
I have been reading the "Android Revolution HD™ 1.2.1 | High Quality & Performance | O/C | Legendary" by mike1986.
I have even tried it on my Asus Transformer - and everything seems to be working Ok - but in the first message and the related FAQ for this ROM there are repeated mentions of 'Phone'.
But Asus Transformer TF101 is NOT a phone - and there is mention of HTC as well - am I missing something major here? Is this ROM really for Asus EeePad Transformer TF101 ?

Maybe because he copy/pasted from his other threads where he has phone roms. There is not source so everyone is tweaking the same asus rom.

[Q]Revolution HD and/or Clemsyn Kernel?
I am new to this forum though not new to Android.
I am a Embedded Linux developer actually so I am a bit embarrassed to ask the following question:
Having rooted my Asus TF, I installed this Android Revolution HD - ROM.
But now I understand that to be able to connect my TF using its HDMI port to my Panasonic TV, I should use the kernel from "Clemsyn-Blades-CPAjuste-supercurio OC kernel for 3.2 elite ver 18"
I have read pages and pages of messages of the thread in Dev threads but I am unable to understand how to use this kernel.
Do I overwrite the Revolution HD ROM with what is available as Clemsyn kernel in that thread or do I need to do something more?
I also read that if one is using certain ROMs then some modifications are required to some files in '/system' directory etc.
So I am a bit confused.
What I am looking for is a TF that is rooted and can connect over the HDMI to my Panasonic LCD TV - and presently I used BRK's method to root it and then installed the Revolution HD ROM.
What is my next step please? Please help.

download the kernal and put it onto your microsd card then just flash it using cwm in the recovery menu.
you need to use install zip from sd card option not update zip.
if it doesnt work just reflash the stock kernal or rom.

To use the Cleysyn kernel just pick the one you want. Say 18b since you probably don't want voodoo support. Download it and put it on your SD card. Then using Clockwork Recovery flash it just like you did the rom. The rom and kernel are 2 different things and flashing the kernel by itself will not remove RevHD rom.
The reason you need the Clemsyn kernel is because he uses the latest nvidia code which has better hdmi support. Also you an overclock the SOC if you want with this rom but it is optional.
If you don't have roaches Clockwork mod installed you may want to consider it.
EDIT: salbalboa beat me too it.

So do you mean this Kernel alone itself would replace what was done by installation of Android Revolution HD - ROM.
Or may be I should try this "Revolver 3.2 by Gnufabio [Sept 14] [HC 3.2 - 8.6.5.9] & Revolver Parts 2.7" - which I believe is a completely different ROM itself?
What do you think?
This whole confusion comes because the rest of the file system can remain same while kernel alone is changed - in a standard desktop PC scenario - but if the ROM itself represents the entire File System including the kernel - may be that is how the built in flash is written - erase all in one go and write entirely new stuff?

The rom and kernel are seperate in android not like desktop. Android is actually a sandboxed layer running on top of the linux core.
You can run any kernel you want with and rom you want as long as they are for the same version of Honeycomb. For instance I use Revolution HD 1.2.1 and Clemsyn's kernel 18b.
When you flash roms they include the kernel they think you should run, which is typically the stock kernel. But you can go ahead and flash over that with a new kernel whenever you want and it will not touch your files or applications.

Solved - Now using Revolver ROM and Clemsyn's kernel 18b

Thanks salbalboa and Bjd223,
I decided to use the Revolver ROM which seemed more tailored for Asus TF and then using the Revolver Parts add on, I installed the Clemsyn's kernel 18b.
Now I am able to connect the TF over the HDMI to my Panasonic LCD TV and it all seems to work - but while HDMI is connected I found that the Wi-Fi connection dropped.
This is a different problem and probably needs looking into seperately.

What is the ultimate goal? Will you be flashing a custom Rom or a kernel? I would say that you should get any OTA updates first and then there will be a way to root and get additional features. Check out this guide to help you see a potential order to take, using CWM 3.2.0.0 R4c (recommended as made specifically for Xoom) and the Universal Xoom Root zip which can be used for all Xooms/all updates. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1249798

my main purpose is playing videos from my NAS so i flashed the tiamat 1.4.4 kernel
everything is fine i can use the sdcard with es file explorer but when i go to the settings and sd card the settings app crashes
the sd ard also ist show in the stock xoom file explorer...what can i do?
i think about flashing tiamat 2.2.2 but i cant find out if cifs will be working there

also i dont know: when i flash tiamat 2.2.2 do i also have to flash a diff kernel or is it included??

Well, the proper kernel is included in the rom. If you are on that update, you could also flash Tiamat Rom one.zero. That was a nice, stable rom.
I'm not sure what you are saying about the sdcard and settings app crashing...could you explain more?

Thats what happens:
When i go to settings-> storage (the place where you can see how much space is used) it crashes.
Can you say anything about cifs.ko in "morey"?
but overall it seems to run good, so i think I'll wait til the problems with the market in 2.2.2 are solved before i flash it.
thx

i got the same problem as jkumda here(last post):

Kernel for Xoom with 3.2.2 and 4g sim installed.

I just got my xoom back after getting the 4G LTE sim installed and the 3.2.2 version of Honeycomb.
I have rooted it again and restored my apps and data, but am stuck on a lot of things work related since there is no kernel that provides tun.ko and keeps 4g working.
Is there a kernel being built that provides tun and 4g or maybe possibly a Moray type rom that has 4g support? (That would be super sweet).

Dude the only one was in the universal root thread. If you changed kernals I think your stuck till we can get the img.
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium

I used the Universal Xoom Root process available in Development. It gave me back root access and superuser, but the kernel is still stock and lacking write access to the microsd card and tun.ko in the kernel so that IPSEC VPN connections work.
Was just searching around to see if a kernel with 4g support was in the works. Was going to use the Rogue kernel, but there is a post about waiting until it can be updated to handle 4g access.
I will just sit back and monitor the forum for an update.

The Tachi kernel is working for a few people so far. I don't live in a 4G area (VZW says it will be here next month), only work in one so I can't test the LTE yet, though the 3G works fine from my home.
I've identified a few minor annoyances and work arounds as compared to running the kernel (and Moray ROM) prior to 3.2.2 HLK75D as listed in this post:
PengLord said:
Interesting... I installed File Manager HD, enabled Root Explorer (in the settings menu) and it prompted for Root permissions. It works great. The next step in resolving this is going to be remounting the external1 device on boot to enable global write support. As I'm not so well versed in Android architecture to do that, I'll use MicroSD Mounter manually on boot.
The final step to getting this all sorted will be for me to figure out how to mount usbOTG devices, If anybody has experience with that on this kernel with a 4G Xoom, I'd very much appreciate it.
I figured out my problem with usbOTG support... I needed to added the "usbOTG" folder in the "mnt" directory using Root Explorer and then install a mount manager such as USB Mass Storage Watcher OTG

This will get you set up with R/W support for the external1 folder and usbOTG, VPN support may be in there as well since the kernel supports it, I however haven't tried it nor have I read about it being tested as functional on the HLK75D build.
Sadly solarnz announced he will not be working on a 4G Tiamat ROM due to life getting in the way, this means we will likely need to wait until another dev gets caught up or until ICS gets released to us by Motorola (fingers crossed for next month) before it gets any easier.

See the arcturus kernel thread over on xoomforums... there is now an open beta for a postupgrade kernel if you want to try it

Hi Etchg,
I had a similar issue. I sent my Xoom in for the 4g update. When it came back I rooted it. Trying to vpn into work (ipsec) I found that my new kernel 2.6.36.3-g6963abe has no tun.ko file. I found some instructions online and compiled one myself. Attached is my tun.ko (You will need to unzip and put in the systems/lib/modules directory. If your kernel is exactly the same as mine then it should work. BTW, with the new tun, I have successfully VPN'd into my work.

I just came back to this thread and saw the tun.zip you uploaded. I tried to open it, but it tells me it is corrupt.
Can you either upload it again or use dropbox and send me the link?

I was able to extract the module and load it on my Xoom. I have the same kernel, but I keep getting an authorization error when I try to connect. Darnit all to heck!

I fixed the authentication issue I was having. Thanks for the module...works like a charm.

Thanks for compiling the tun.ko. It works correctly with Cisco AnyConnect for Rooted Devices.

Glad to help
Hi Guys,
Been absent for the week. Glad to hear that you got it downloaded and working!
-Jared

This always comes back as corrupt for me. I've tried everything I can think of, but I can't extract the tun.ko out of the zip. I haven't been able to create my own either, so I'd really appreciate someone posting this.

Updated CWM Recovery?

Newer recoveries include options to flash from both internal and external storage. I always getting confused in which the TF uses and have to reboot a few times to copy the file over to the other storage space.
As popular as the TF is, I'm surprised we aren't running a newer recovery.
Am I missing something?
G2x - 2.3.7 CM7
Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV

Sorry for the ignorance, but where is the download for it?
Sorry just saw that this was a request.

Well it IS kind of a request for a newer version.
The current recovery with included directions to flash, is located in the Development thread. It is an older version that hasn't been kept up-to-date.

Indeed. The Gtab is up to revision 4.x.x.x I believe. I'd like to use that recovery or revision 5. I think it hasn't been updated because, it does work. However, it would be kinda nice to have a newer version available. Probably due to everyone in the know working on ICS.

i have CWM 5.0.7 on my galaxy s2 and it supports internal and external sd cards, ie you can nandroid back and restore from either ( although doing it from external it doesnt back up the android secure part as thats on internal SD).
does anyone know why we cant have the latest version of CWM?
is it a kernal compatability issue as i know from flashing ROM's on my GS2 that certain kernals dont support certain versions of CWM.

I think I read that it has something to do with lack of a partition, but I could be wrong and don't have a link to share
