Wifi Monitor Mode possible? Maybe! Call for help - T-Mobile Sidekick 4G

http://bcmon.blogspot.com/
Bunch of guys have hacked and reverse engineered an important part of the bcm4329 firmware on the Nexus One. They released the firmware patch, so it could be built for others using the same chipset.
So can anyone actually do it? Build a patched version?

The Sidekick 4G does use the 4329, but I'm certainly not the right person to try adapting it.

Sweet! I just saw this on HackaDay and was hoping we had the right chipset. I still need to install linux and get the build environment set up, but I'm definitely interested in getting this working. USB OTG comes first, though...

I think TheLastSidekick just needs $15 dollars to send it to me.
I'll tinker with porting this to sgs4g.

[DEV] PSFreedom Port

As some of you probably know, the ps3 has recently been hacked, allowing us to run unsigned code. The source code for the exploit leaked and a dev called KaKaRoTo managed to get it to run from a Nokia N900. The other day, KaKaRoTo released his source code and someone already ported it to the Palm Pre. This quick port was possible because the N900 and Palm Pre both share the same USB controller(mUSB) which happens to be the controller used by the Droid/Milestone.
This has already been posted in the droid section, but I figured I would post this in here. Maybe some of you guys can get this working on our milestones!
thanks nicholasbgr for writing this up.
This doesn't look too hard to do either. We shouldn't need to do too many alterations to get it working on the milestone.
Here is what we apparently need to do to port it from the nokia.
Well, first, you need to figure out what controller your device uses, in the case of the N900, it’s ‘musb’.. (Luckily we have he same controller!)
Then go to the driver code for that controller (probably in drivers/usb/gadget) and look for ‘SET_ADDRESS’. In the case of musb, it was in drivers/usb/musb/musb_gadget_ep0.c. In there it was setting the address to the USB device, so just copy that code into the psfreedom_machine.c to allow setting the address, and add a similar function to be able to retreive the address.
Then add a function to return 0 or 1 depending on whether the controller supports HIGH, FULL or LOW speed mode (go to usb_gadget_register_driver for your controller, and in the first lines, it should validate the speed argument, it will tell you which ones are acceptable), set LOW speed mode to return TRUE only if FULL speed isn’t available .
Finally, add a function to return the endpoint names.. it will usually be something like ‘epXin’ and ‘epXout’ (where X is the endpoint number), or “epXin-bulk”, etc.. look at how the driver initializes its endpoints or grep for “->name” in the file to find where it sets it…
That should be enough!

No devs with a PS3 here?
Just saw this, and I'm actually pretty interested in this, but what I know about programming can't really help you. Really interested in this though, so I will be following this
I have to ask though, is it not possible to have a universal Android implementation? What are the technical reasons?

No, we won't be seeing a univeral version, as phones have different types of usb controllers (we have mUSB, the same kind used in the pre and n900, giving us the best chance of a quick and easy port) Most HTC phones have a MSM72K controller, and the guys in the desire forum are pretty close to getting it running.

MrPadie said:
Sorry if I appear a little "uninformed" (), but I just wanted to check something here quick. If we port this hack correctly, does this enable us to run an unsigned bootloader, essentially relieving the minds of millions of Milestone users?
If so, I'm going to take a spin at porting it over - however, I'm sure someone will get it before I do, no doubt.

according to zzg in the desire forum, this is what you need to do. no source changes.
Well you don't really need any changes to get it compiled against Droid's kernel, a quick and dirty way by looking at psfreedom's make file:
make -C /path/to/droid/kernel/source M=/path/to/psfreedom/source ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/path/to/android_ndk/tree/build/prebuilt/linux-x86/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin/arm-eabi- EXTRA_CFLAGS=-DENABLE_MUSB_CONTROLLER modules

Quick question though, looking at something like this: http://psfreedom.com/wiki/index.php?title=OpenDesire4.0.4
To enable:
reboot to recovery
flash enable psFreedom
reboot back to Open Desire
It seems we would have to flash a different kernel to get this to work via the recovery screen. However I thought due to the locked bootloader on the milestone even after porting it the phone wont boot because of that.
Is the locked bootloader preventing us from booting into Android? or is it booting all together?

i think the desire is totally different than the milestone because it uses other drivers. with the n900 there wasnt any flashing involved. the milestone uses the same drivers as the n900 so lets hope we can use this

[DEV] Gingerbread 2.3 [DEV]

Update: Alright guys, after collaborating with others on the port it seems we have hit a wall. The nexus s doesn't use our adreno egl drivers and instead uses newer drivers. The drivers are needed and we can't call on adreno drivers without errors. Because of this, we are putting a stop currently on development as first and foremost we need the build to be usable. The inc devs seem to have hit the same road block. We need a nexus one dump or source to move forward. Until then. :tips hat:
This is a dev rom. Things are still broken. Please don't play unless you realize this. If your boot hangs, try a dalvik wipe.
Note to devs:
-homescreen still slow (using ns EGL libs right now)
-no sound, sound crashes on boot
-dont have time to test more
-no wifi
-data works (browser force close on google boot)

Good luck trying to port this... you're gonna have hell of time. The problem is that us EVO users are currently using 2.2 and the Nexus ROM's are built on 2.3; the lib files and bins will more than like fail if you try to boot.
I would wait until the 2.3 AOSP source is released to try and do a proper boot.
Porting different versions of Android especially from different manufacturers is a huge *****... believe me, I know... right Barnacles?

[Q] How does one determine which ROMS (or kernels, mods) he has?

I recently used bhundven's awesome One-Click method to flash my device. It's been a couple of days, and I am totally ecstatic!
This was the first time that I've flashed my baby in over 6 months... so, I was happy to go from Frodo (er, Froyo) to GingerBread. In the process, I removed loads of garbage from my phone -- you know, stuff that seems really cool and you gotta have it, so you download it and never use it again! What the hell was I thinking when I downloaded the U.S. Constitution??! LOL
It feels like I have a whole new phone. Anyway, back to the discussion. So, the One-Click jar is awesome. But, having been away for a while, I don't have a sense for which version of which ROM/Kernel/Theme came before/after which other.
ACTIVITY 1
I'm looking at the One-Click filename and I'm trying to decipher:
filename: SMS-KJ6-beta2d_Stock-Rom_with_Bootloaders-One-Click.jar​
SMS-KJ6-beta2d_Stock-Rom_with_Bootloaders-One-Click.jar
?? not sure what this is trying to convey...
SMS-KJ6-beta2d_Stock-Rom_with_Bootloaders-One-Click.jar
So, it is based on the KJ6 ROM. Somewhere I gathered that the ROM which I installed via this process is a ROM that was customized by RaverX3X.
SMS-KJ6-beta2d_Stock-Rom_with_Bootloaders-One-Click.jar
This is beta2d of bhundven's kernel. Yo comprendo.
SMS-KJ6-beta2d_Stock-Rom_with_Bootloaders-One-Click.jar
Ok. This bit is a tad confusing. I get the "with_Bootloaders" part {1}. But, I don't get what the "Stock-Rom" is communicating. As I previously stated, I believe this is a customized ROM...
SMS-KJ6-beta2d_Stock-Rom_with_Bootloaders-One-Click.jar
Ok. This is the brilliant technique which Bryan (bhundven) designed to make it easy for geeks like me to follow. It was simple:
java -jar SMS-KJ6-beta2d_Stock-Rom_with_Bootloaders-One-Click.jar​And, click... click... click... In other words, there's just one action associated with this technique: click! Love it!
ACTIVITY 2
So, I went to Settings/About phone to verify the changes...
Model number: SGH-T959V
Damn! It's still just a 4G. Didn't give me an S2! LOL
Firmware version: 2.3.6
This is good...{2}
Baseband version: T959VUVKJ6
Excellent... it's based on the KJ6 ROM.{3}
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-T959VUVKJ6-CL694130
Whoa... OK.{4}
Build number: GINGERBREAD.VUVKJ6
Yes! I have Gingerbread.{5}
ACTIVITY 3
Then, I checked out Settings/Software update... (where a pop-up informed me that I have "No firmware")...
WAIT! Didn't Settings/About phone report a firmware version?
Thanks, Android, for the inconsistent labels... good enough to confuse even us geeks! (and, remember, we shall inherit the earth... and the moon... and the sun... so, lookout, Android! Your day shall come...)
Ok. I believe this is letting me know that I have a custom ROM and that I have been cut off from OTA. Excellent news!
SUMMARY
I have some time on my hands and thought that I'd look into the Android sphere again... So, I would like to examine various customized ROMs, Kernels, Themes... in general, mods. But, as I proceed down this path, I am wondering... how shall I know, at any given stage (and with the expectation that, at some point, I will have lost track of what I've done 2 days ago{6}) exactly which mod(s) I have on my device?
NOTES
{1} though I am still researching to be able to understand what a Bootloader is and why it's important... or, to rephrase, when would I not want Bootloaders?
{2} it was 2.2.1.
{3} it was T959VUVKD1.
{4} it was 2.6.32.9-Bali_SGS4G_v1.4UV.
{5} it was FROYO.VUVKD1.
{6} I have a mental disability which ensures this.
Related questions...
Which version of the customized ROM do I have? How can I determine this? Is there a straightforward way to know which mods are incorporated into each custom ROM?
Same for Kernel? How do I know which mods are incorporated?
For beta2d, I understand that the device is rooted... and has CWM 5. But, it was necessary to re-install busybox upon which I have become dependent.
And I see that there are newer versions of bhundven's kernel. I'd be happy to test features... but I'll need to know which features to look for.
That no firmware has been there since completely stock.
For the most part in the op for each ROM or kernel they list any mods and features. Other than reading the op for your setup I have no idea how to know what mods are incorporated.
Maybe there's no way to tell. Maybe someone knowledgeable on the subject will give you a better answer. Maybe I should get off my phone and get some sleep.

As 95Z28 has pointed out, I'd read the OP for the rom you flashed, in this case:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358498
Let me put it another way...
Ok. Check out this scenario:
Friend wants to sell me his device. I know (because the Software Update tells me "no firmware") that it has been modified. I just don't know how... And he doesn't remember the current status (because he's such a geek... and has been modding it weekly for the past 8 months ).
Hehe...
Given that phone, is there a battery of verifications I could do to determine what's in it?

Well, this is something I plan to keep in mind as I develop treasures... there should always be some little something somewhere that says, "It's me! I'm here!" That would be the first point of verification when talking to support... IMHO
Granted, many times that scream is inherent in the UI -- if the user knows what to expect.

Without boot loaders, your device won't be able to load the OS and it's necessary components.

so, there is probably NOT any file in existence named SMS-KJ6-gamma1a_Stock-Rom_without_Bootloaders-Five-Clicks.jar?
Ok. No problem.

Maybe... but, probably not as severe as I'm talking about... A taxicab dropped me out in the middle of the Hollywood freeway... but forgot to tell me we were gonna hit the wall first... ;D Ouch! It still hurts.

Ok. Check out this scenario:
Friend wants to sell me his device. I know (because the Software Update tells me "no firmware") that it has been modified.
This is what I'm saying. I bought my phone brand new from radio shack. Opened the box and set it up in store. It has always said no firmware under software update. So that doesn't mean its been modified, its just a galaxy s 4g quirk.

Aha... I was sure that I recalled something other than that popup... when I first got my phone new.
In any event, there is no question that his phone has been modded (he admits that he has modded it)...
I suppose, to be sure, I would just buy the damn thing... and flash whatever the heck I wanted... and be done with it, eh?

No. That means that there is no PENDING software update download over-the-air that is WAITING to be installed. So when you ask it to DO a Software Update (think of Update as a VERB here), it says... I can't... there's no update waiting...

Yes I know. And there are no ota updates for the SGS4G at this time, so it will always say no firmware as it always has.
When I say that's a quirk of the SGS4G that's exactly what I mean due to the fact if you click software update on other android phones it will specifically say no updates available, or, current version is the latest. SGS4G states no firmware instead.
So what I was saying is that has nothing to do with mods.

Saw it yesterday as well. Probably not gonna work with O3D cause we don't have USB host function on our phone. LG "forgot" to include it.

Kernel or hardware issue? It will work with BT keyboard and mouse
But we already have ubuntu on android, only difference is because this will be official way to install it with support from canonical.
I never tried hdmi with ubuntu on my LG, does kernel support loop device support?

No it doesn't support loop device, I have tried and didn't work. So I guess we have one more thing to work with, try to include it in the kernel.
Nahh, Ubuntu we have running on android today is way different than that, this new one will be fully integrated with the phones Android software. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Btw what is the dock function?

Just a dock for connecting phone with keyboard and/or monitor/TV.

It is not necessary, but it looks nice, more professional for some managers
Does anyone with kernel experience want to chime in. I'd like to compile my own kernel then add usb loop support.

lol yeah I posted it here hoping some developers would get their hands on it and turn it into something that works, hopefully people are smart enough to read and know what they are doing before messing with it.
uploaded the stock hboot, in case someone needs it for comparison...
i can just confirm that the posted file actually is a hboot, as the hexdump shows some similarities... but thats where my binary hacking skills end

Do you have a t-mo US version phone or this is just a file ripped apart? I'm looking to figure out how to root the T-Mo US One S without bricking the thing.

if you have the phone pm me your gtalk I'll walk you through the steps of rooting and flashing Clockwork recovery, its certainly a bit different from the Euro phone.
What is different about it? I thought the root process was the same as was cwm

T-mobile USA Rom include wifi calling?
Im Curious does the TMO US version of the One S have wifi calling?
I ask because I have the Sensation, running a ICS Rom and currently
the Wifi Calling app (From the Gingerbread ROMs) doesn't work, it needs
an updated app from T-Mob US that is compatible with ICS.
Thanks!

It should have Wifi Calling baked in. If it's compatible with older phones running ROMs, we'll have to see.
I just picked on up at Wal-Mart they are selling them now for 198.00 yes WiFi calling works great

On the Galaxy II on tmo the wifi calling is built in the rom and you have to have the sim card the supports the wifi calling but this is ICS and I could be mistaken .
Can anyone pull these libs and/or the .apk?

I just checked my T-Mobile One S, and none of these files are present in /system/lib. Let me know if you have any ideas where they might be, and I'll try to help you. I figured I'd find at least one or two of them, but no go. Sorry guy

Hmm interesting
Not even an .apk? like Kineto.apk
Does there appear to be a WiFi calling APk file in the system/ app folder? I'm not sure what it would be called, but you can probably ID it via the icons appearance. I know on the Sensation it was something like HTC-dsp-gb.apk.

It's most likely like the Amaze 4G. Built into the framework
Wifi calling is built into the Android 4.0 framework, so yeah, none of those apk's or .so's are present on the One S. It's all integrated...
Can you post the build.prop?
