Openvpn update for desire + tun.ko

Copy the update to your sdcard and apply the update with the recovery-console (sudo ./step2.sh from latest method)
You need OpenVPN Settings from the market (Friedrich Schauffelhut) and load the module from the following location: /system/lib/modules/tun.ko (see attached screenshots).
There's a different kernel in Modaco Custom Rom so we need a new module version. (2.6.29-82821fb5).
Openvpn from MCR kitchen lacks some cypher-algo's so i couldn't use that.
I left the busybox binary out in the MCR version.
If any of you have dns problems please use the "OpenVPN settings" provided setting for that:
Long press your connection config and change the Preferences.
happy tunneling.
HTC Desire stock kitchen = vpnupdatedesire_2.6.29-97da29ed-signed.zip
MCR kitchen (dont use openvpn from kitchen) = vpnupdatedesire_2.6.29-82821fb5-signed.zip
uvoc version = vpnupdatedesire_uvoc-signed.zip

Can I use the file and method to put tun.ko in system folder as required from vpnc?
Thanks

The file tun.ko wil be copied to /system/lib/modules/ if you apply this update. Don't know if vpnc can load the module or that you need to load it before you start vpnc (OpenVPN Settings can load the tun module on startup). You could always load it from commandline: adb shell insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko

vpnc works
I can confirm that vpnc works OK with this tun.ko module. Thanks Richard.
For the moment the get-a-robot-vpnc application does not work out-of-the box on Desire, but this is another issue.

Which vpnc works ok? I can't load tun.ko, at least with insmod

Thank you. I've seen it and already tried, it works perfectly! Now I can use Rdp client. The Android one is so much better that the windows mobile's one!

Works perfectly, thank you.
Note to anyone who comes here, if you get an error about being unable to allocate the TUN/TAP device dynamically, it's because the insmod changed but the app. doesn't warn you. Check the paths and/or insmod manually to fix.

There's also a new openvpn + tun.ko version for the Modaco custom rom r1 kitchen online.

Should busybox be included inside this openvpn update too?

the modaco rootedupdate.zip doesn't provide busybox. Just to make sure i put it in.

There's a new version for MCR without busybox binary. See first post.
Tested on MCR3 and working without any problem.

New version for uvoc kernel posted.

I get the error you mention in OpenVPN Settings, but I am not sure I understand what to do. Can you please be a little more specific.
When I try to load the module in terminal I get this error :
insmod: init_module '/system/lib/modules/tun.ko' failed (Exec format error)
Thank you.

Sorry, changed = failed (must've typed on the Desire with auto-correct kicking in).
Try and insmod it manually
Code:
insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko
as root. If that fails, check it's actually there.
If all else failed, extract the tun.ko from the zip, push to sdcard and run
Code:
insmod /sdcard/tun.ko

When I try to load the module in terminal I get this error :

What rom are u using? It looks like a wrong module for your kernel version.

hi richard,
yesterday i flashed r4 modaco rom on my desire and have seen that they use 2.6.32.15-g99cb4fa kernel version. can you provide a tun module for this ver?
many many thanks

[Q] Loop module help please

I'm a little new at this but I have a good feeling that somebody here can help.
My phone doesn't have a loop module built specifically for it yet so I have been trying to improvise. I'm doing this because I want to chroot a ubuntu image. My phone is a Droid 2. I found loop.ko and cryptoloop.ko binaries from a Droid Eris kernal. I extracted them and tried to insmod them and got the error "failed (Exec format error)." The error is supposed to mean the binary is for the wrong architecture. The Eris is supposedly ARMv6. I have run v6 binaries on my phone before.
Basically what I'm asking for is this: I need some way of installing loop modules on my phone. I need either the source of somebody's, or need to figure out what I'm doing wrong in installing these binaries. (Maybe somebody has binaries that will work).

[Q] Cisco AnyConnect for Rooted Devices

Has anyone got the Cisco Any Connect for Rooted Devices App to work on the TF??? I keep getting the "This device does not meet minimum requirements to run this software (TunTap driver could not be located)" error. Anyone find a workaround?

I'd root my TF in a sec if it will work. I've been trying to get this to work on my D2G but it also doesn't have a TunTap driver. I found tun.ko in one of the forums but have to had the chance to see how one might install it. I know some custom ROMs have it included.

works fine rooted prime + clemsyn 16

It seems that it is not able to load the tun.ko if it is present as a module. I had to use insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko to make it work. I have a stock kernel with just added tun.ko module.

Woah, didn't know this came out...thanks. Will give it a shot.
Edit: Appears to work fine, but I need get get my ASA license.

Awesome! Finally!

The app installs fine but when you try to connect is when you get that error. @ljs_cz, does the stock 3.1 come with the tun.ko module? If not where can I find one? I found a post with a module but its for 3.0.

Totally wasn't aware this existed. Works flawlessly on my TF running prime and clemsyn. This combined with RemoteRDP means I don't need to carry round my laptop when I'm on call!
Thank you OP, life-changer.

For those who are on stock 3.1 root, copy tun.ko to /system/lib/modules and
install it from a terminal, command "insmod tun.ko".
Check with command lsmod, you should see tun.ko loaded.
Install cisco anyconnect for rooted device and you are set.
Note, you will need to load tun.ko again after a reboot.

i tried copying the tun.ko to /system/lib/modules but i got Permission Denied.
Is there another way to make this work?
I am rooted with build model 8.4.4.11

You need to mount the /system as RW before you can copy it. I am not sure of the ADB command, but you can do it through total commander (file manager) which is how I did it.

is it possible that you could give me a step by step guide as to how to accomplish this? i am trying but seem to be failing.

Bump, I could also use some help with ssretz's problem.

hmm..on ICS, tried your solution anyway. copied the file over to the location you specified, but when i run the command in the terminal it says no such file or directory.
Edit...i ran su -c insmod /system/xxx/xxx/tun.ko
i ran su earlier, but not on the same line.
that seems to register it. will test later.

still failing to copy files
Hi,
im running the TF PRIME 2 with ICS 4
im trying all of the suggested aboe and still failing to copy a file to the system/library/modules folder
any help?
i think it's a permission issue, my device IS rooted and i CAN copy files to the other SD folders

I've done it via command line (you must mount the system directory in RW mode) using multiple iteration of the proper switches until it finally worked, but if you're struggling, just spend a couple bucks to buy Root Explorer. The aggravation you'll save will be well worth it.
Root Explorer has a button that will eliminate the command line instructions necessary to mount the system directory in RW mode and return it to R only, along with allowing you a simple copy/paste interface to move the files.

connects but does not route over tunnel with CM9/Megatron 1.0.1
Current system with issue: Megatron 1.0.1 with stock kernel.
Details:
I am able to connect using Rooted anyconnect, and I see my route table getting updated but when I try to access a resource on the vpn network it can not reach. I am not able to ping, ssh, rdc to any resource thru the tunnel. Local lan resources such as my own computer work fine or internet resources
I see the following interfaces get created after I connect:
-csctun0
-droptun0
My route table displays updated routes after vpn connects showing to use the iface of the cscotun0 for the resources that need to be routed thru. (192.*, 10.*, etc)
Funny thing is that I am able to use the stock 4.0 ICS and/or older honeycomb releases and it works fine. It's just with Megatron 1.0.1 or any CM9 rom. I tried using update-cm-9-20120329-NIGHTLY-tf101-signed.zip, still a nogo. Leads me to believe could be related to the CM9 trunk.
The logs between stock and CM9 flavored roms look the same on anyconnect. Nothing glaring.
lsmod doesn't show the tun module in as I believe now tun is compiled directly in the kernel (can someone confirm this?) (Running lsmod with stock doesn't show tun, nor in CM9/Megatron).
I love me some cyanogen and really like ricardopvz work especially the quick apps, but I need my vpn working for production support as its nice to work off the tablet when I am not near a computer.
Any help or direction will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Confirmed that my problem only exists with CM9/Megatron roms
AOKP and stock based roms work fine. Any one else have this issue?

[Q] Sensation CIFSManager with TempRoot

Ok, so the latest temp-root has gone well, and things still work okay, which is a great improvement, and much kudos to the devs for this.
However, CIFs Manager seems to not work, and I like to watch stuff over my network - and I'm pretty sure it's something very simple to do with SymLinks and stuff, as to how it works.
"Mounting the share has failed with an error
mount: mounting //10.1.100.10/Films on /mnt/cifs/Films failed: No such device"
Same settings work fine on my Desire, so I know the network's good, must be something to do with where it's looking, or trying to work, and the symlinks etc. in the temp-root.
However, I haven't a clue where to start - maybe someone can help out?

Maybe you start with reading the CifsManager FAQs?

Most Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: When trying to mount a share I only get an error message saying something like...
"Error running exec().Command: [su]"
A: Most probably your device is not properly rooted or the su command is missing.
"No such device".
A: Your current kernel or rom lacks the necessary CIFS support. Try to find a matching kernel module (cifs.ko) or use a rom with explicit CIFS support.
"mounting <yourshare> on <yourmountpoint> failed: No such file or directory"
A: Your "Mount Point" simply does not exist and CifsManager is not able to automatically create it for you. As automatic Mount Point creation is not done with su rights, CifsManager can only create Mount Points in directories with permissions 777 or on your SD-Card.
Q: I have installed CifsManager but launching the app fails with something like "Application not installed on your phone"
A: This is not a problem caused by CifsManager but a bug in your ROMs launcher. Look for an updated version of your launcher.
Q: I mounted my favorite share successfully but files with special characters are not displayed correctly.
A: Try to use a kernel with explicit UTF-8 support or try to find/load the kernel module nls_utf8.ko.

fed0r,
Great information there - thank you so much. I'll double-check the permissions, but I was sure I'd already altered the mount point to 777. If that doesn't work, I'll try using a mount point on SD too.
I never even thought that the issue could be something so simple - thanks agaiN!

I thought he was indicating:
A: Your current kernel or rom lacks the necessary CIFS support. Try to find a matching kernel module (cifs.ko) or use a rom with explicit CIFS support.

Yes, on reading it the second time over, that seems to be what is indicated. I actually had an error combining #2 and #3.
Ah well, back to waiting for S-OFF so I can flash a ROM with the right kernel, because I haven't got a clue when it comes to Kernel type things!!
So, Stock Sensation ROMs do NOT have CIFS support. Tested.

[Q] help with cifs after flash update

Hookay so I know your thinking hey it's his first post he hasn't looked around for a solution. I tried?
Anyways I've got a mz604 model wifi xoom that I flashed to the 3.1 stock kernal and then updated to 3.2 root from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1165998
I was pretty pumped until I tried pushing the cifs.ko that I found from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=974343
I checked it out and I know a few people who previously had it installed seem to be having good luck with it on 3.2 unless they were lying. But every time I try to insmod cifs.ko I get insmod: init_module 'cifs.ko' failed (Exec format error)
I tried the cifs.ko that I found in Tiamat-Kernel-2.0.0-Katana-stockgpu.zip under the /system/lib/modules folder but when I pushed that or any of the *.ko files from there I got the same error. It's like I'm loading it up for the wrong kernal.
So am i loading the wrong cifs.ko file for the wrong kernal? is there something I can do? I checked the permissions on the files before running insmod with no luck.
Thanks if you can help if not thanks for looking.

I was having similar problems. I'm running the Tiamat 2.0 OC kernel.
From your explanation it appears that you upgraded to 3.2 with a stock kernel and then tried to push a different cifs.ko module to your xoom. Then did the same with the Tiamat cifs.ko module.
You need to flash the Tiamat Kernel before you try to use the cifs.ko module that goes with it. (you can't use a cifs.ko module that was compiled with another kernel if my understanding is correct).
Anyway, try flashing one of the tiamat kernels (they already include the cifs module) and then open cifs manager. Set up your new share.
Now inside cifs manager, go to settings, and check both "Load cifs module" and "Load via insmod".
Happy sharing!
