[Q] USB WWAN - How To On Wifi Xoom? - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Hello, I Know there are correct wifi usb dongles drivers in Tiamat Kernels, i have tried everything possible to get the Mobile Settings option in the Wireless setting of android with no luck, Can anybody point me to the correct procedures on how to do it? btw i have tried the methods of doing that on Acer and Asus and it didn't work, i had to flash new kernels to boot again in some cases. Thanks
Why those drivers are present but nobody want to write dialer script and instruction?
Launchpad kernel for Xoom!
Alright, Forget about Tiamat kernel, i have Team Tiamat Moray Rom on my Wifi only Xoom with the launchpad kernel from this post :
http://www.xoomforums.com/forum/lau...nel-launchpad-1-2-2-new-6-11-11-3-1-only.html
you will find in the addons (WWAN USB Addon) which is used on the launchpad to show the Mobile Menu and enable tethering as the kernel should have everything required, so why when i use it on the Xoom it doesn't work? BTW i have also disabled the Zero-CD option on the USB stick to make sure it reads as a modem when connected to usb port, i made sure that my 3g stick is compatible with the operation.
Its really interesting when i see 153 views and only one reply
You can try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118639
And I will try with CDMA modem I found one non-english article.
But just yesterday I got trouble with OTG connections, all devices are with error:
usb 2-1: new low speed USB device using tegra-ehci and address 6
usb 2-1: device not accepting address 6, error -71
hub 2-1: unable to enumerate device on port 1
It was working last night. Wtf? Do you know how to fix this? I tried to restart tablet with no luck, otg cable not working anymore.
Update 1: Nevermind, cable was broken. Fixed.
Update 2: I tried that method on link I gave you - zore result, reflashed.
P.S: Just tried your launchpad kernel - too bad that 3.1 only. I'm using Rogue now. By the way usb_wwan can be installed everywhere.
I found also this universal installer for Huawei modems attached below.
Dunno how to "dance" with this. After installing just nothing happend or I doing wrong.
thanks for you effort, OTG cables are horrible, most of the time when you get failures its caused by cables or adapters anyway,
i downloaded the attached archive and pushed all modules to my Xoom with MORAY Rom and Odachi Kernel, rebooted and nothing happened too no Mobile Settings menu, will keep trying and keep you posted
Actually I'm not sure if there should appear some menu. After this you have to see in dmesg you modem to be recognized like GSM converter but I don't. So it looks like option.ko isn't loaded. Maybe this file has to be in defferent place instead of /system/lib on Xoom? I also tried to put it in /system/lib/modules/ , also nothing happend after.
Maybe it works on older versions of ROMs? I'm using 3.2.2 stock rooted with rogue kernel + usb_wwan
Maybe, i have tried it with many roms, even the 3.1 but no luck, i think Team Tiamat would be the right ppl who would clarify everything to us, i have tried setting the kernel to launch all the modules on boot but nothing happened,we need somebody experienced in those things to help us out
Hmm... as you see there is nobody who want to help with this. Because they have 3G models or expencive portable hotspots and nobody need this.
Anyway. Did you try to put option.ko and usb_wwan.ko in system/library/modules folder and right after that set up "modules on boot"? Restart tablet, connect modem and see in dmesg. I don't have this option in my rom, so try to do that.
:s
I've tried placing the modules and loading them on boot, but it didn't work too, its not about money, actually i have 3G portable wifi router and my other android devices have the built-in wifi hotspot ,but its about doing the thing...its about the concept, why it's not working while we have everything in place, thats the weird thing, i think we will have to wait until somebody feels sorry for us then decide to help us! :s
Problem definitely in /system/build.prop it should be edited somehow, according to manual for A500 tablet.

hi, where to put this module pack? i mean how to install?
How to connect manually using Huawei 3G dongle:
You need:
- rooted xoom with Tiamat kernel (or any other which has usb_wwan.ko and option.ko attached)
- 3g dongle
1. Backup files from /etc/ppp in case when this solution don't work
2. Download attached zip and extract to /etc/ppp
3. edit /etc/ppp/gprs-connect-chat in line
Code:
'' AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet"
replace 'internet' with APN name for your network
4. Now run terminal (Terminal Emulator) and type
Code:
su
stop ril-daemon
insmod /system/lib/modules/usb_wwan.ko
insmod /system/lib/modules/option.ko
pppd call gprs
Now you should have working connection (Xoom doesn't show this, but if you run browser it should work).
For me it works on Verizon Xoom with Huawei e1750, but i'm living in area where only edge is avaliable, so this is very slow connection - i need to check connection speed in other location this weekend.
For Xoom Wifi owners: this should also work for you, but with small change - after inserting modules you should check on dmesg which port(s) is using your dongle and change port number in first line of /etc/ppp/peers/gprs . It's probably /dev/ttyUSB0 but you must check.

Ask google for linux support for this wimax modem. If it works on linux it also should work in android. And most of linux tutorials are saying which driver is needed.
I also have different modem need to use, because gprs is slow and expencive.
I have Cmotech U300 (Dual mode - WiMax + CDMA Rev.A) branded for Sprint. Have no idea where to get a driver for xoom.
Looks like my modem is working under Linux, http://jebus.nu/tech-corner/sprint-u300 Dut generally I have no idea how to make it for Xoom.
My Huawei is recognized well. I set APN name, but what about APN username and password. Where are setted?
Are there any updated ppp files for the xoom on jelly bean as it does not seem to work with my one....... Also try something called "ppp widget" which seems to be easier to do but still its not worked for me on my xoom...... HELP

[Q] usb tethering
I have android wifi tether installed and running, so I know I'm rooted. Although the wireless works great on my laptop...my main pc runs Ubuntu with no way to receive. I was wondering if there is a way to tether the same connection via USB....just as free, and easy. Thanks.
Yes, if you se the TBH NVRAM method with RadioComm to change the tethered NAI strings you can USB tether in Linux with no problems. http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/android-hacks/5156-tbh-droid-3g-hotspot-nvram-hack.html There are screenshots later in that thread and discussion about the RadioComm method with the D2G or Pro using the MDM6600 chipset MA either manually or using the NVM table posted there. User name is [email protected] and Password is vzw and number to dial is #777.

I've got both the patch and unpatch zip files downloaded. I'm already rooted with gummyjar flashed, so using bootstrap and getting the zip files installed shouldn't be a problem. What I'm not clear on is after I install the patch and reboot...what am I looking for? An actual app? More configuration? Just plug in to pc? I'm also not sure where this login information comes in. I'm somewhat new to any modding so many thanks.
You can't use the tether patch zip files on D2G. You have to use the RadioComm method I referred to later in the thread.
[Q] Huawei e1750 on ZT-180
I have a Huawei E1750 3G USB modem that I want to make working on the ZT-180 tablet. Until now I have not been successfull to get it working, although it is working on my notebook and with the Flytouch2 out-of-the-box. I have searched forums for a solution, but have not been able to get it working until now. I have tried the following, which is not working on the original FW that the ZT-180 comes with and with the new Android 2.2 FW. Create APN Use APN manager(s) Manually edit configuration files like init.gprs-pppd Checked for errors in dmesg tried to run init.gprs-pppd manually, no error messages I have disabled CDROM and MicroSD emulation on the stick I tried to switch between ttyUSB0 to ttyUSB3 Checked the permissions on the files (init.gprs-pppd) and folders (ppp) as mentioned in some posts I hope that the experts on XDA (hehe) can help me out! Thank you in advance!
[Q] Nexus 5 - Phone Modem - Serial Device
Hi, since I cannot post to Android Dev, I'll post my question here; hopefully a mod will move my thread over to the Dev section. I'm trying to find out which serial device is the phone's modem, running "cat /proc/tty/drivers" gives me a list of devices, which hang upon sending AT commands. How could I identify the correct serial device? Is there some kind of tracer I can run that could show me which device the RIL is calling? Since the Nexus 5 is relatively new, not much info is available yet.

Have you checked your device under Window, in device manager. Does it show any COM or Modem port. Please see the attached image. Above snapshot is for my Huawei Modem, if Modem port is enabled for the device we can see this. If the modem port is obtained, we can pass AT commands to it directly using Hyperterminal-like software. Please let me know.

However could you tell us about the following. Which device are you using ? Is the device rooted? Since writing to /dev files require root permission. What platform are you working on ? Linux or Windows ? You should not only look for a /dev/ttyX file, as shown here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7022525/at-command-in-android Your modem related file can also be /dev/smdX. Using ADB shell, Try ls -l /dev/smd* on your device, check for users and groupname by radio (See attached) Try out some combinations there. Didn't work for me, might work for you. Note: This may vary with devices, attached shot is on a Moto G. In case of windows : This can also be a driver issue. If appropriate drivers are not available it may not expose Modem port in Windows. I have tried for several phones but no luck. With a Dongle it works fine, able to pass AT commands.

[Q] LG GPad V500 - USB Thethering on CM11
Hi guys, this is my first post on this forum, so I'm sorry if I'll do something wrong. I bought a LG GPad V500 (standard version, not google experience edition) and i noticed that tha stock ROM was not so nice... I successfully installed clockworkmod and CyanogenMod 11. The ROM works fine, it's fast and i didn't find any bug. Just i can't understand how to setup USB thethering (aka reverse thethering). When i start the server on my Windows 8 PC an app is installed on my tab (USB tunneling app). I accepted the super-user request and then I also installed the fake-wifi hack (included in reverse thethering package). The problem is that, when I press Connect on my PC, the LOG shows no errors but I can't access Internet from the tab. USB Tnneling app shows "UDP connections: 0" and "TCP connections: 0" and the software on my PC says there isn't any download and upload speed. I reinstalled the apps many times and I replaced adb.exe (I founded this solution on Reverse Thethering official post on XDA, but it didn't work for me). I googled the problem and I read many times that the kernel should be not able to run a USB thethering. I don't know if it could be true, i used the USB Thethering on CM 11 on my old TF300 (died 3 days ago :crying. Do you know how to fix this problem? It's quite important for me because I can't use any wifi network at home and at work. Sorry for terrible English and thanks P.S: is it possible, if needed, to change CM11 Kernel (flashing it using CWM)?
Building kernel with CONFIG_BRIDGE=y
I use my galaxy s6 phone as a wifi hotspot for my desktop (I know, im too cheap to buy an adapter, but bear with me), my phone connects to the internet with wifi and my desktop is tethered to my phone. Recently I wanted for my PC to apear as if it was directly connected in my lan and not be behind the NAT of my phone. So what I wanted was to bridge the wlan0 and rndis0 network interfaces. Unfortunantly, I came to discover that the stock S6 kernel doesn't support 802.1 bridges. So I went and compiled a custom kernel. I compiled the stock kernel updated it in my boot.img to see if I was doing everything right and yes, it all went dendy. But when I recompiled the kernel with the CONFIG_BRIDGE=y, the phone goes into a boot loop. Also, a msg apear saying SElinux is not enforced, which is odd. The question is: wtf? Is it the case that the hardware doesn't support this option? How changing just this option interferes with SElinux. Is there anyone who tried to do this and got it to work? I was able to change some options, like CONFIG_IKCONFIG/IKCONFIG_PROC.. So I'm sure the process of compiling and flashing it is been done correctly. Additional info: I'm using G920IDVU4FRD3 samsung stock kernel, which is version 3.10.61 Mine is a sm-g920i. My current .config file is attached.
