[Tool][Windows Only][Root] Android Reverse Tethering

CREDITS TO capslock66
ORIGINAL THREAD http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1371345
Android Reverse Tethering for windows users.
Tethering is the ability to surf on your pc using the 3g of your phone
Reverse tethering is the opposite : surf on your phone using the ADSL of your PC.
This work only for rooted users !!!
For non rooted users, you can try my other solution, but require more manipulations and is limited to surf : http://www.codeproject.com/KB/androi...orwarding.aspx
Installation :
Unpack the zip file. This zip files contains the windows part, ADB and the android APK.
Before starting the tool :
Ensure you have debugging enabled on your phone :
Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging > Turn On
Ensure you have root access AND SuperUser application installed.
Change the superuser settings (Menu -> Preferences -> Notifications part) :
Uncheck "Notifications" label to display "Do not show notification when an app is granted Su Permissions"
AndroidTool
The AndroidTool.exe is the windows part
he low level communication tool (ADB) is included in the zip file.
AndroidTool will try to find ADB in c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\adb.exe
If not found he will use the provided one.
The first time you use the program :
If you want to use another version of ADB, clik "config" and in the first tab enter the path to the ADB
Select the DNS server to use in the right list. On complex system, some dns can be detected.
Start reverse tethering
Just click “Connect”.
If it's the first time you use the program, This will install the latest android package and the dependencies (busybox and redsocks).
The SuperUser process may ask you to allow “Usb tunnel”
If the android process crash after receiving superuser rights, close the windows program and start again.
The android interface (first tab) will show connections forwarded to windows.
Others tabs are just for debugging (give information about system route tables and connections). Not yet finished.
Start your browser
Google chrome will complain that no connection is available. Don’t care. That work.
Firefox , opera and dolphin don’t have problem with that !!!
The current version of the application can’t forward low level ICMP packet (PING).
From Android Os point of vue, there is no internet connection.
Market :
The search market work, but due to the same connection problem, it’s not possible to download. I hope Google will fix the market.
Other apps :
The system detect automatically ports like http (80), https (443) , Market (5228) . UDP ports like DNS also work.
You don't need to add static ports in the windows program (config / ports).
Tested under :
Tested under more than 20 android model. Thanks for your feedback
I will update the tool every week.
Version 2.25 :
less traces
added upload / download / connections
some bug fixes

Agreed. You link to the original dev work so he can monitor progress of how many downloads.

There is a new app called ReverseTether that allows you to do just that and it doesn't require any additional windows software or tech savviness, and it's very straight forward and simple to use.
Check this out:

offline?

i tried your program version 2.25.
connected galaxy note 3 (rooted) with usb2-microcable to computer.
activated usb-tethering on note 3.

I was wondering why it doesn't work but i know why now my Android is a 5.1 then I will wait

nice selection, to root that your going to need a program written in Chinese most likely since all the hardware for it is written that way but that shouldnt be too hard. before we start here
PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT: by choosing to do any of the things I have written here for you, you assume full responsibility for whatever happens, I DO NOT and CAN NOT be held responsible for anything you do! I have provided you with a way to do what you asked. YOU assume full liability regardless the outcome.
1st. your gonna want to go to Google, yahoo, Bing, whatever one you choose and download a translator from Chinese to English (i assume you speak English obviously) anyways you need this to translate whatever program your gonna be using when you find it...
2. do a search online for your tablet model, be as specific as possible, version number, serial numbers, kernel version and you should find a bunch of links but they will be in Chinese ( this is what the translator is for) when you find the links in your search engine copy the writing to your translator and it should convert it to English this way you can see the description of the programs your looking at.
3. when you find one you think is the rooting software download the program and open to folder location, you should see a few folders, maybe an exe. maybe not but there should be names in Chinese on every folder, copy an paste the names to your translator until you find the name for the EXE. thats the program that runs it, you may also want to look for an instruction manual too via the same method because the actual program and script instructions are gonna be in Chinese as well but your computer should have no trouble running it you just wont be able to understand the instructions so before you actually run it for real on your device copy tose instructions to translator to see how to root your device, most likely the program is going to have choices you need to make just like and SPF program does LINUX or RSD lite, ect ect...
4. I know this is getting to be a long process but I did this with a laptop I was given 2 years ago and it worked fine after a few try's with different programs I found. you also have to make sure the software/hardware on your computer is compatible with whatever is on the tablet and the rooting program, if you cant find a rooting program thats compatible unfortunately this method wont work because the program to root will not work on your computer is its not compatible.
Good luck.

No nothing . I can`t find nothing

Actually the TomTec Excellent 7 is rooted by default.
Latest official firmware is available @ tom-tec.eu/pages/firmware.
Code:
adb root
adb shell
And you'll notice you have root access to the whole system .

Flashing Nexus 5 (D820) into your own CDMA carrier

This is just a small guide on how to flash Nexus 5 D820 (US version) from Sprint to other CDMA carriers. Please mind that this is a trial and error guide which I tried many times before I succeeded flashing my Nexus 5. So if there are some mistakes that needed to be corrected , please tell me and I won't mind .
So let's begin: First, you need to root your Nexus 5. I will not provide on how to root it since there are lots of guides out there if you google it. Ok, after that you need to install the Nexus 5 Windows driver which you can download it from here: http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/LG/LG-United-Mobile-Driver-381.shtml
Since LG Nexus 5 doesn't have dial code for diag mode we have to flash diag mode boot img file which you can download from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2421929&d=1385715923
You can use Flashify which can be downloaded from Google Play Store to flash the img file. The phone will reboot after you flash it.
Ok, after all that you can connect the Nexus 5 to the pc/notebook using the usb data cable. Usually Windows will automatically install all the drivers for the Nexus 5 once you connect it. Oh, don't forget to enable the USB debugging mode from the developer options menu.
After all the needed drivers have been installed, we will enter the rather complicated on how to use adb shell command. You all can read the guides here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2514396
There will be SDK Tools which you have to download for Windows. The guide will tell you all on how to install it.
For the flashing tools, we need:
1) CDMA Workshop 3.9
2) DFS tools
3) QPST
All these tools you have to find/buy them by your own since I can't provide them. Sorry.
Ok let's enter into diag mode. Go into command prompt window and type:
adb shell
then type:
su
(here the $ sign will change into #)
and then type:
setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb
Ok we should be in diag mode now. We will use CDMA workshop first. Set the port. and then click connect. We will find the SPC code and change it. Go into the security tab. In SPC/user lock , let's change the Default (NV_read) into LG method. and click read. We will see some numbers in the box. We will click the SPC button now, there will be a writing like this: Write "000000". Choose that. And SPC code has been changed from those confusing numbers into simple numbers 000000. We succeeded unlocking the SPC. Click reset on the right top corner (it looks like reload button). After that reboot your Nexus 5.
Get into diag mode again. Open your CDMA Workshop again. Connect. Get into memory tab. Go into NV-items. Write nv-item which you can download from: http://www.cricketusers.com/sprint-lg-optimus-s/16145-optimus-s-cdma-ws-3-x-nv-items.html
Ok choose reset and then reboot your phone again.
Get into diag mode again as usual. We will use DFS software now. Choose port. Connect. And click SPC which usually written down 000000. It will unlock the phone so we can write down settings into it. All right in here go to Programming tab where you need to enter all your MDN, MIN, Akey, PRL, etc informations which you can get from your own carriers/operators. If using DFS is confusing, please read the guide first. I am sure you can find some in google .
Ok if everything is written and you press reset on DFS. Reboot your phone. Usually after this you can use your phone for calling and sending SMS text. Oh, don't forget to insert a simcard in your phone. Usually just put a GSM card. This phone can be used for either CDMA or GSM. There will be a new menu in mobile network. LTE-3G-1x-Global(GSM).
But the 3G EVDO for data connection will not work at this stage. So we will use QPST software. Use the latest QPST software 2.7 built. Connect and as usual you have to enter SPC code. Go into PPP config tab. There you will go into Um tab. Check if our user id is the same as the user id as given by your own carrier or is it still filled by Sprint's user id? If the Sprint's id is still written there, go into the user id box and press ctrl-d from your keyboard to wipe the Sprint's ID. And then do the same thing in AN tab. After all that, press write to phone. Reboot your Nexus 5.
Get into the diag mode again...hope you guys don't get tired of it though :laugh: Open QPST, read from your phone, get into PPP config. Go into Um tab and the user id box should be empty now. Fill it with your user id and password too. And do the same thing in AN tab. Go into M.IP tab and check if profile 1 (ignore profile 0) is enable. get into it and check if both NAI and Tethered NAI are written with our own user id. Write to phone and reboot your phone.
We will wait for a few minutes......and usually 3G EVDO sign will come up. Go into About Phone, take a look in Status is it written: CDMA-Evdo rev. A....if it is congrats, you have successfully flash your phone with your own carrier. :laugh:
Hopefully this guide will help you guys. I know it's a bit confusing. Hey it's my first time writing a guide....If there's any mistake that I made, please don't hesitate to tell me. Thanks guys.

Hi could you please clarify me what do you get when doing this operation? I was looking into a way to use 4g in Europe from the nexus 5 d820 version, since here the channels used are not supported by this version. I suppose this tutorial doesn't have anything to do with the lte channels é hehe.

Ok for the SPC try this app which u can download from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2394499
I haven't tried it yet, but I hope it will work for you. Read the SPC first and then write 000000. Hope it helps. As for the PRL, you have to have it or else it will not work. Ask your carrier/operator or search it in Google.
And for the adb shell....what happen when u type su? does the $ sign change into # sign?

Hello, fellow QPST users.
QPST 2.7 Build 4.2.2 is a fake version with keylogger.
Some a$$hole downloaded latest public QPST build (4.0.2) and decompiled MSI installer package, then edited all "4.0.2" to "4.2.2", added "fake changelog", added keylogger (qualcomm.exe), then repackaged and spread around web!
Everyone who downloaded QPST build "4.2.2" should change all his passwords.
More info about malware from fake 4.2.2 build (QPST.2.7.422.msi)
MSI package (QPST.2.7.422.msi) was embedded/tampered with qualcomm.exe which is a .NET based malware that logs your keystrokes and sends it to attacker's server.
How to delete the actual malware from your system?
Look at the startup from msconfig or CCleaner, there should be a file called qualcomm.exe thats set to start everytime system starts. Delete both registry and file.
If you wanted to see what data thief was stolen from you. Just open the .dc file (in "dclogs" folder) with Notepad and see for yourself.
In XP, dc file is located here!
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\dclogs
there should be a file called "201X-XX-XX-X.dc
if you open that DC files with Notepad, you'll see all your keystrokes.

Keylogger sends the logs from keylogger to "qpst.hopto.me"
So please report about this incident where and when you encounter QPST 4.2.2 somewhere (forums, posts, sharing-sites, etc)
Copy my whole post and paste it where you see 4.2.2 mentioned.
Bonus: Fake Changelog
If you've installed this 422 build, then open the Readme.txt in C:\Program Files\Qualcomm\QPST\Documents
Scroll down and see the "6/12/13 QPST 2.7.422 changelog"
6/12/13 QPST 2.7.422
1) EFS Hello commands will not be sent unless the device is in a compatible mode. Sending this command when the
device is in download mode can cause a "server busy" message for a few seconds because of command retries.
2) Support for the Sahara device protocol (see 80-N1008-1 or equivalent) is now built in to the QPST server process.
This protocol is only supported by USB Serial ports, not TCP/IP connections. In QPST Configuration a device in
this mode will display as "Q/QCP-XXX (Sahara Download)". This mode can only be detected (1) when the QPST server
process starts or a COM port in this mode added to QPST, or (2) when a device enters Sahara mode on a port assigned
to QPST. This is because the device only sends its Hello message once, as soon as the COM port is opened.

Changelog above is actually cloned from QPST 2.7.394 Just scroll down and see Build 2.7.394 changelog. Its same!
So forget about Build 422. It doesn't exist.
Use QPST 2.7 Build 402. It's the latest public build
Sorry about my english

Ok. Thanks for giving this info about the QPST 4.2.2. I didn't know it was a fake one. Luckily i checked mine didn't have the virus. I guess someone cleaned up the version that i downloaded somehow.

Uh, no! You've just been told it's a fake. Get the official one until told otherwise would be my recommendation

Yup i guess so. I will download the latest official release then. I will edit my post so no one will download the fake one.

Flashing My N5 To Boost (maybe...lol)
I really want to flash mine to Boost but I since I only want to do one phone I don't want to purchase CDMA workshop to do it and the free edition (2.7) lets you get the SPC but won't let me write the NV items. Is there another program that will let me write the NV items, one that doesn't cost $100
Also, I want to flash mine to Boost Mobile and wondered if anyone out there has done it and succeeded. I sent mine to a phone flasher and at first he said he could do it then sent it back telling me he couldn't. So I paid $360 for a phone thats just sitting there...LOL

s me too waiting for a s/w free to use to write NV & misc

no new port or lg.... shows in com/port in device manager
wat is the reason ?
device is otherwise fine with response to commands...
using windows 8. pl help

i even tried in win 7. after type setprop ... no change...no new port opens...
tried for so many time...some one help to identify issue

This is AWESOME news!!! Now I do have one question... If we were to flash the N5 to our carrier (nTelos in this case) and I put in my LTE sim card, will it activate on LTE, or will it only work with the 3G CDMA portion? - I know that with the nTelos iPhones, they can be activated on standard CDMA and work on 3G, then when you insert a sim card, it updates the carrier settings automatically, and it starts working on LTE. Is that the same case here?

BTW there's a post somewhere (can;t remeber exactly, it's either Nexu 5 or 4 or some other LG phones forum ) that shows you how to get the SPC,
resign all the APK that come with the blobs
OmaDmclient.apk,SprintHiddenMenu.apk,Term.apk,TimeService.apk,UpdateSetting.apk,qcrilmsgtunnel.apk,shutdownlistener.apk
with the platform key (if on stock rom no need anything else AOSP based you have to resign then with the platform key which is the testkey -the one everyone uses to signe zips)
and Nexus 5 test field from the play store
and o/c ADB
EDIT: to get SPC
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2515798
*#*#3282#*#* doesn't work
so you'll need http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2524744
or simply in adb type "am start -n com.lge.SprintHiddenMenu/.sprintspec.Debug"
to arrive to the "6. Select "LTE/Edit" again."
you need stock rom for that unless you resign the apk I mentionned above.

Registering gmail without phone number on a virtualized system

Hello
I can register a gmail account on my tablet without providing a phone number. I'd like to achieve the same outside a android device. Like on a windows machine. Maybe using a virtualized Android system...... I am open for anything.
I tried VirtualBox and ISOs from android-x86.org but no luck.
Thank you

Why not try an android emulator such as Bluestacks or similar android emulator?
You can install the same android that is on your tablet in the emulator.

Bluestacks I did try. But it also asks for a phone number during the registration process. There must be something specific about the used android version, or the app itself.

Hm strange, I use Bluestacks, a very nice service... Have you tried using Memuplay? It's another service similar to Bluestacks, but I guess is less known.

So you did try to register a new gmail? And you've not been asked for a phone number?

I didn't try, but I suggested you another Android emulator that I know, thought you could try that one.

Use LDPlayer - But the IP address must also be clean =) It would be good to somehow automate it further. )

How To install Google TV Launcher on Android 9 TV

first you are going to need to get 2 APK
The first one is com.google.android.apps.tv.launcherX_1.0.40152940
The second one is Google_base.apk
Then you are going to put your Android 9 version into developer mode you need to allow USB debugging and select USB configuration to any protocol such as media transfer protocol
When you did that you can sideload your two APK files when that is done you are going to need an app on your mobile phone called called remote adb shell. Find out the ip address of your box go to network and ethernet and you will find your ip adress. Go to your phone open remote adb shell put in your ip adress and 5555 on the second line click connect . Now you have two possibilities either remove the current launcher or disable it if you want to keep it
issue the following command
pm uninstall –-user 0 com.google.android.tvlauncher
if you want to reinstall the old launcher the command is as follow
cmd package install-existing com.google.android.tvlauncher
Go back to your android TV and you should now have the google tv launcher , as a side note some countries might need to use a VPN to make it work properly although it was launched officially cheers.

Thank you my friend but this is not much; I hope when you try it you let me know how it went; there is also an app that can help with the installation if you are not comfortable with ADB however I don't know if the app permanently applies the launcher changes or if you must choose it each time you logon; in any case here is the link to the app the app is called android tv home

I'm trying to get this on a Nvidia Shield TV 2017 specifically for the purposes of having voice search work in sideloaded apps and browsers. The voice search works on sideloaded apps on the Chromecast with Google TV, so can you voice search sideloaded apps and browsers with this UI on your device(s)?

Thanks. But is it just me or these files actually not attached here? Could you please also attach these files? Thanks in advance.

You need to highlight the text, right click and copy into your browser or select search. The files are there. Not everything is an easy link in the hacker world. You must do the work and think.

Great , the steps you describe are working fine. I'm successfully able to install.

Im having a hard time finding "google_base.apk". Thanks to Mattc001 for attaching the xlauncher 1.1.11, I couldn't find that version, only 1.0.xx so ... yes your right, there should be some homework needed to be applied, it sure helps though when the files or "requirements" are attached. For one, it's trusted that the software used is the trusted one from the OP. Secondly, ... just revert to one.
@Mattc001 Could you please elaborate on the "google_base.apk" ... where to find? Is it under a different title name vs. file name? I'm really interesting in your findings. I just recently acquired a TCL with Android TV or maybe its Google TV and would really like to take advantage of tweaks, mods, and things to better enjoy the experience and boost performance.
Thanks in advance.

Why not ? Do you know how to sideload apks ? make sure you are in developer mode and select usb configuration to MTP

Instead of Google_Base I added another version "com.google.android.katniss_6.12.20221010.3-14001602_minAPI24 (armeabi-v7a, x86) (nodpi) _apkmirror.com" Apparently this is it. Everything works but I have to be on VPN USA all the time because otherwise Home or the tab for you - it does not appear at all and I have an error. There is a chance to bypass the need to use vpn from the USA for the home tab to work? Thanks
