Bluetooth tethering armooo1.5 - moded JF1.5

This is a set of changes to JF1.5 ADP image to enable pan bluetooth tethering. The pan service will be available whenever bluetooth it turned on as you would expect from most other phones.
It includes all the normal changes from JF1.5
Changes
armooo1.50.1
Added support for multiple clients (updated pand_up.sh, pand_down.sh).
Added logging.
Added /system/xbin/pand.start. Works around what looks like an init bug with long lines.
Updated /system/init.rc to use pand.start and logwrapper.
armooo1.50
The pand service was added to /system/init.rc .
The library bluedroid (/system/lib/libbluedroid.so) was updated to start and stop the pand service.
Pan support scripts were added to /system/xbin (pand_up.sh, pand_down.sh).
Added dnsmasq to /system/xbin.
Changes for JFv1.50 ADP1.5 Build Environment
armooo1.5 ADP1.5

So now the question is how can I get this on another build besides the JF?

is this a non-wipe update, and will it break wifitether by harry_m?

twistedumbrella
You should be to manualy install the files in armooo1.50.tar.gz. It will need pand, iptables, awk and a kernel with netfilter/iptables. All of which were in the JF image I am not sure about the others.

I was able to upgrade from JF1.5 ADP to this image without wiping. As long as you are not trying to use wifitether and the bluetooth tethering at the same time is should not be a problem. Stopping wifitether or disconnecting a bluetooth connection will disable ip forwarding and remove iptables rules which could cause problems.

Thanks it's working perfectly on Dude's build.
I prefer this over network as Ubuntu laptop don't like ad-hoc network and I never managed to connect.
I wonder if someone one if this PAN thing can provide connection to multiple computer simultaneously or is it just one?
Thanks again! good job

An integration in TheDude firmware is available here : http://android.smartphonefrance.info/actu.asp?ID=133 (In french).

Tried moving the files over and got stuck in a boot loop. Couldn't get the init.rc to work. Didn't try just loading the rest of the files. Wasn't sure if that would work. I'll have to give it a try. Thanks.

The image you are using may have different loopback mounts in /system/init.rc you should only need to copy the pand service.

Does anyone know how to use it?
After I updated the firmware, and launch pand_up.sh
an error show on next line:
error: SIOCSIFNETMASK (No such device)
I tried to pair with my MBP, it will show PAN network, but no IP address shows up

Yeah, I am using a different apps2sd method and general startup than the JF. My image is based on 5.0.2H but I wasn't sure if the service would run without having that. I will try it without. I am sure it'll still work just wasn't sure how efficiently. Thanks again.

Thanks for the update!
In case someone is having issues installing this, here is a little how-to I've been using with Dude's latest rom.
using extracted armooo1.50.1_ADP1.5.zip as YOUR_armoo1.5_adap1.5_DIRECTORY
adb remount
adb push YOUR_armoo1.5_adap1.5_DIRECTORY/system/init.rc /system/init.rc
adb push YOUR_armoo1.5_adap1.5_DIRECTORY/system/lib/libbluedroid.so /system/lib/libbluedroid.so
adb shell umount /system/xbin
adb push YOUR_armoo1.5_adap1.5_DIRECTORY/system/xbin/xbin.cramfs /system/xbin/xbin.cramfs
adb shell reboot

what does it actually let us do??
does it allow bluetooth file sharing?

It's simply internet sharing through bluetooth.
Key advantage is that there is not extra app/layer, it's included in Android as bluetooth is on.

Hi!
I tried to include this in JF 1.43 RC9.
Integrated the xbin stuff in xbin.cramfs and the bnep.ko module in modules.cramfs.
Didnt know how to get the module auto-loaded, so added the insmod command to pand.start.
The module is loaded correctly, however the pand service is not added.
running pand.start manually yields some kind of success, the pan service is visible and connectable to, but not allowing to get any kind of transfer, no ip
any advice would be great. i would prefer staying with 1.43 until jf comes out with his 1.5 RC9 version, but i also really would like to get this running to not have to use wifi tethering anymore...
thanks in advance

Sorry, but it looks like part of 1.5 was changing to use libbluedroid.so. So it is not going to start automatically for you. You should be able to get some debugging info from logcat. While you are trying to connect you may also want to try iptables, ifconfig and ps.
iptables -L should show
Chain FORWARD (policy DROP)
target prot opt source destination
ACCEPT 0 -- 192.168.5.0/24 anywhere
ACCEPT 0 -- anywhere anywhere state RELATED,ESTABLISHED
ifconfig bnep0 should show
bnep0: ip 192.168.5.254 mask 255.255.255.0 flags [up broadcast running multicast]
ps should have two pand and a dnsmasq
logcat should output
I/pand.start( 341): pand[348]: New connection from 00:22:69:C7:71:A2 at bnep0
I/pan ( 354): Starting BT pand for bnep0 192.168.5.0/24

After just installing JF1.51 EU, i replaced xbin.cramfs and copied init.rc to /system and the lib to /system/lib and everything is working great. My speed is actually a hint better than with wifi tether (0.36M vs 0.39M on a 3G 384kBit line).
Great thing there...

I would really appreciate it If someone could post how to connect to the phone on linux using console. Thanks.
PS: I am using JF1.5_ADP build. If I change libbluedroid.so and run the pand service (pand.start), should it be enough for it to work? Am I missing something?

I believe nobody cares, so I answer to myself
The problem was pretty much a firewall which blocks pings. So stupid. Anyway.
So, the way to do it without flashing, start from JF 1.5. ADB shell commands. Copy the libbluedriod.so into /system/lib/ (not sure if even need). Copy pand_up.sh and pand_down.sh to some G1 directory "your_dir". To start pand, run in terminal:
pand -n --listen --role NAP --devup "your_dir"/pand_up.sh --devdown "your_dir"/pand_down.sh
On linux pc (tried on Mandriva linux) find the G1 device id:
Code:
hcitool scan
(also can be found somewhere in the phone settings)
Connect to the device by
Code:
pand -c "device_id"
Start interface:
Code:
ifconfig bnep0 up
Get ip, gate etc (using dhcp):
Code:
dhclient bnep0
It works.

armooo:
You should really promote this more and have the rom cookers include it in their creations. In fact, the #1 reason for not switching my current rom (jf1.51) to any rogers, ion etc is because i use it really often and it works just flawlessly...

I am using this with Ubuntu 9.04 (with Blueman), and for some reason it disconnects from the PAN service on the phone after a couple uses. Once this happens, I have to reboot the phone and it works again. Any ideas as to what's happening? I have tried cycling the Bluetooth service on the handset, and rebooting the laptop, but neither of those make a difference. When this occurs, I can stay connected for 15 seconds up to about 4 minutes before it dies, and the syslog in Ubuntu reads bnep0 disconnected.

And a BIG thanks to ecips for helping with this
NO LONGER NEED TO DO ANY OF THIS , JUST USE OpenVPN.zip & FOLLOW ON FROM STEP 4!!
Ok guys had alot of problems gettings this too were it working, hopefully you guys might see some errors/fix's to improve on this
Requirements:
OpenVPN-Settings - Market
OpenVpn Binary File - Located in the openvpn4DesireHD.ZIP
LeeDrOiD HD v1.2 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842802
Buzz OC/UV 1.51Ghz 1.1.4 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835616
UPDATED 17/12/2010: CONFIRMED WORKING ON, LeeDroiD HD v1.2 & Buzz OC/UV 1.51Ghz 1.1.4
A) Not sure if this matters or not but i copied LeeDroids iptables file from the Desire.
B) Copy your client.conf or .ovpn file and certs to /sdcard/openvpn
C) Implementation:
1. Unzip/copy openvpn binary file to device.
1.b replace the current openvpn file in /system/xbin with this new one
1.c -- chmod +x with it.
Code:
adb remount
adb push openvpn /system/xbin/
adb shell
chmod +x /system/xbin/openvpn
exit
If " adb remount " didnt work
Code:
su
mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p25 /system
in order to mount system as read/write
2. Make folder /system/xbin/bb
Code:
adb remount
adb shell mkdir /system/xbin/bb
exit
3. Make symbolic links to ifconfig and route & busy box.
THIS IS WERE THE PROBLEMS ALL COME FROM AND IF YOU HAVE ISSUES THIS IS WHAT WILL BE CAUSEING IT! SOMETHING TO DO WITH LINK BETWEEN BUSY BOX AND IFCONFIG......BUT I TRIED FROM FRESH BOOT AND IT WORKS FLAWLESSLY NOW WILL TALK TOO LEE ABOUT GETTING EVERYTHING INBUILT IN LEEDROID
Code:
adb remount
adb shell
ln -s /system/xbin/ifconfig /system/xbin/bb/ifconfig
ln -s /system/xbin/route /system/xbin/bb/route
ln -s /system/xbin/busybox /system/xbin/ifconfig
reboot
4. Install/Configure OpenVPN-Settings
4.0 Install OpenVPN-Settings from "Market" its free dont worrie
Code:
4.1 On device, launch OpenVPN Settings.
4.2 Long press openvpn.conf, Preferences.
4.3 Check "Use VPN DNS Server"
4.4 Enter your VPN DNS Server
4.5 Script Security Level Select Built-in + scripts
4.5 press back
4.6 Click click the sub-menu option select Advanced
4.7 Load tun kernel module and make it 'insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko' before starting openvpn.
7.8 Change path to openvpn binary to /system/xbin/openvpn
Click " Fix HTC Routes "
You should now be connected
IF I FORGOT ANYTHING PLS LET ME KNOW VERY TIRED WHEN I DID THIS HAHA
Here is my config anyways for reference and here is my client config
Code:
client
dev tun
proto udp
remote XXX.XXX.XXX.XX 1194
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
persist-key
persist-tun
ca ca.crt
cert mero-android.crt
key mero-android.key
comp-lzo
verb 6
script-security 2
Have also realised if you go terminal and do following gives you nice log
basicly , su root, cd to your openvpn folder location, run openvpn on your client conf
Code:
su
cd /sdcard/openvpn
openvpn client.ovpn
For added security. To make the OpenVPN request a password on connect. do the following
change step 4.5 to Script Security Level Select Built-in + scripts + passwords
add the following to your server conf.
Code:
username-as-common-name
plugin /usr/lib/openvpn/openvpn-auth-pam.so login
and this to your client

It's a VPN (virtual private network). I can access my home and work computers from my android.

I am super-impressed mero. But I wasn't able to get it to work .... I think it's my fault .... I've stuffed around so much. I'm right now starting a clean install.... It should work..... I hope.

I did alot of stuffing around aswell thats why i wanted to test it.
So i did a full wipe. then flash to 1.2 reboot. flash to 1.0.1.fix. and then first thing i did was follow those steps.
connection worked first go
please update me, as im sure i can help.

Walker Street,
I attached a screen shot of the actual adb session i did just incase. the bottom 3 commands to my knowledge and what i can see dont work so i ommited them from the tut. but they might do somthign and not display it so thought i might upload incase.

Silly me. I forgot to set 'Fix HTC Routes'. Now I've done that and your method rules.
You're a genius mero. It works.
I changed permissions for the new openvpn and iptables using root explorer so they could execute. Maybe you didn't need to because you were doing adb push from linux (I was doing it from windows).
I don't have a DNS server, so I didn't need to specify one.
I would highly recommend these changes to LeeDroid for his rom. Have you messaged him yet?

Yes and tunnel all your internet traffic back through the VPN encrypted in many ways

also works with buzz 1.0.8.
and after pushing the openvpn binary, you need to do chmod +x with it.

anyone tried with 1.1.0 ?

Hello,
i'm in trouble....
At first, i have an error when i try the adb remount command : Operation not permitted
Then i have a second message when i try to create the "bb" folder : mkdir failed for bb. Read-only file system.
I'm confused because tel is rooted, S-OFF and suped-CID. I even changed the Kernel with Buzz's one 1,2Ghz.
Did i miss something?
Thanks for your help

hmm thats very strange... adb remount should work...
actually quite puzzled at that dunno why it wouldnt work if you do have root etc.
only other thing i can think of is have you got busybox installed ?
what state is your phone in when your trying to do this ? ie off. on, recovery mode.

Hi,
thanks for reply!
I have a branded SFR phone in France but i managed to root it and S-OFF it without problem.
I switched to another Kernel with the tun.ko file and that's all.
When i tried adb remount, the phone was ON (no recovery or anything else).
I will try in recovery mode.
Busybox is installed.
Note : impossible to connect adb while in recovery.

This seems to be the problem :
when switching kernel only, i don't change the property ro.secure because it's nested (of what i read) in the boot.img. I have a branded phone and this property is set to 1.
Is there a way to change this property without changing the whole ROM? I would llike to stay with this one.
Thanks for your advice
lionel

Ok,
switched to Leedroid 1.2 and re-changed kernel to Buzz 1,22Ghz.
This tutorial is awesome!
Thanks mero01!!!
Is there a way to use the WIFI connection instead of 3G?

[GUIDE] OpenVPN for Dummies

Thanks to all the developers who put the bits & pieces together; without them it wouldn't be possible. You don't need to be an Android or Linux guru to get it working - SDK, ADB, etc. are not required.
What is OpenVPN?
OpenVPN is a free and open source software application that implements virtual private network (VPN) techniques for creating secure point-to-point or site-to-site connections in routed or bridged configurations and remote access facilities. It uses SSL/TLS security for encryption and is capable of traversing network address translators (NATs) and firewalls.
What's Covered in this Guide:
A step by step tutorial for configuring OpenVPN on the Evo 4G. Use at your own risk!
Not Covered:
Yea but how do I?
Requirements:
Rooted Evo
USB Data Cable
Amon RA Recovery - RA-evo-v1.8.0 (or above)
http://files.androidspin.com/downloads.php?dir=amon_ra/RECOVERY/&file=recovery-RA-evo-v1.8.0.img
Terminal Emulator (download from market)
Super Manager (download from market)
Busybox (download from market)
OpenVPN Installer (download from market)
OpenVPN Settings (download from market)
Tun.ko built for your specific kernel (recommend netarchy-toastmod, Stable: 4.1.9.1 or higher)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=719763&highlight=amon
Modified openvpn executable & matching iproute-wrapper script.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=385959&d=1282516002
An OpenVPN Account & config files.
GTech Net Tools (download from market).
Let's begin.
Root your Evo if not already done.
Install GTech Net Tools & run; select My IP & Get IP Address; External Address & Local Information are issued from your cell provider data network; record these values for later comparison.
Install Amon RA.
Install Busybox to /system/xbin.
Install OpenVPN Installer (binaries) to /system/xbin; select path to ifconfig: /system/xbin.
Install OpenVPN Settings (settings later in this guide).
Install custom kernel with built in tun.ko support; flash via Amon RA recovery & reboot.
Install Terminal Emulator.
Install Super Manager.
Open your openvpn config file & add the following to the last line, then save: 'iproute /system/xbin/iproute-wrapper.sh'.
***Make sure your config.ovpn file has NO_SPACES in name***
Connect Evo to PC via USB cable; select 'Disk Drive' & 'Done'.
Create folders on SDCard 'Downloads' (if not already there), and 'openvpn'.
Copy your config.ovpn files to SDCard/openvpn folder
Copy 'openvpn' & 'iproute-wrapper.sh' to Downloads folder on SDCard.
Disconnect USB cable.
Start Super Manager; select Settings; Enable ROOT function; press back button on phone; browse to SDCard/Downloads - copy & paste 'openvpn' & 'iproute-wrapper.sh' to /system/xbin.
Start Terminal Emulator.
@ $, type su & enter key; should now see #
Type 'chmod 755 /system/xbin/openvpn' & enter; then type 'exit' & enter.
Start Super Manager; select Settings; disable ROOT function.
Press Home button on phone.
Start OpenVPN Settings; press 'menu' button on phone; select 'advanced'; check 'load tun kernel module'.
Click 'TUN modules settings'; Check Load module using 'insmod'.
Enter Path to tun module: '/system/lib/modules/tun.ko'.
Select 'path to openvpn binary'; enter '/system/xbin/openvpn'.
Check 'Fix HTC Routes'.
Press Back button on phone.
Check OpenVPN; check your_server.ovpn; 'Username/Password required' should appear on Status bar at top of phone.
Slide Status bar down, click on 'Username/Password required', enter info & click 'OK'.
Under yourserver.ovpn view status - Wait for 'connecting...auth...get config'...should be 'connected to 111.111.111.111 as 222.222.222.222'.
Start GTech Net Tools; select My IP & Get IP Address; External Address & Local Information should now be issued from your OpenVPN provider; compare to original data you recorded earlier.
Press Home button on phone...do you see the 'Key' icon on Status bar?
If Yes.............You have done it!

Check 1st post for revisions & updates.

Thanks for the write up. However, can you dumb it down one more level. I started looking at OpenVPN when I realized that the Android VPN was broken. I have configured Windows VPN for my home Windows PC, but I assume that it won't directly work with OpenVPN.
What do I need to do to configure my PC?
I assume once I understand that, I'll also understand what you mean by "An OpenVPN account & Config Files.
I appreciate your help.

The guide is limited to OpenVPN on the Evo 4G Android platform.

I have a question also. I am stuck at the Open your openvpn config file & add the following to the last line, then save: 'iproute /system/xbin/iproute-wrapper.sh" step. Is this on the EVO or on the OpenVPN account?
Also, I signed up for the OpenVPN account and am using a Macbook-with Windows 7 installed via Parallels, an iMac and another laptop running Linux Ubuntu. Which program do I download for my setup on the OpenVPN site so that they all work? I don't see one for OSX? I have tried the EVOVPN app and it works great just for the phone....but computers won't hook up even though I have them set up using the same LAN settings.
I am hoping for something that will let me use a secure server using the EVO connecting all of my computers.
Thanks for your help and for the guide and for any advice you could share. Have a great day!

Good questions - focus on keeping things simple.

Your OpenVPN provider posts config files to download required for their service to work. Normally no editing is necessary, but for Android it is at least for now (*more on why later).
Their config files package may include many different types of files, look for the one with .ovpn extension (there may be several - server_1.ovpn, server_2.ovpn, etc.); open the file(s) with your text editor; normally the last line of this file is 'auth-user-pass'; create a new last line 'iproute /system/xbin/iproute-wrapper.sh' (without quotation marks) and save. Copy this edited file & any other config files your provider requires to the Evo /sdcard/openvpn folder you created earlier.

The good news is whatever OpenVPN service provider you choose, it should work with whatever device you have. However, each operating system has different requirements, so there are clients specific to each of these OS's. For example, Windows client = openvpn client, Linux = gopenvpn, etc. For the Evo, & Android in general, the client is 'OpenVPN Settings', setup of which is included in the guide. 'EVOVPN' is not 'OpenVPN', we're not sure what it is, they don't offer any support or documentation; advise to stay away until more info is available.

As above, only one service provider is needed, the clients vary by operating system. If you're referring to remotely accessing your other computers via the Evo with OpenVPN running, well yes that works but is not covered here; setup for that would be the same whether or not you use OpenVPN.
*The edit to .ovpn config file is required at this time to let the Android client know which routing table is being used; it may become unnecessary with future updates.

Thank you sc10000.....I appreciate your time...nothing more frustrating than asking a question and never getting an answer or one that is so informative. I will try the set-up again...but I see also that you have to pay for the OpenVPN service. I have an OpenDNS account and wonder if that is the same type of service and it is free but not sure if it will work with EVO. I will look into that option also as I know I used to use that for my Linux system. But, as you said, that may be just operating system specific. Again, thank you for elaborating!!! Now, I get it.

Thanks for the tutorial sc10000. I just wanted to put a little bit of input into the mix.
OpenDNS is quite different from OpenVPN. OpenVPN is strictly for users who need to encrypt their connection and/or connect to another 'network' such as their work or school network. A lot of other people use OpenVPN for other reason (i.e., watch Hulu from another country outside of the US, etc.).
I use Private Internet Access ( privateinternetaccess.com ) as an OpenVPN provider and it works with your tutorial. Other great providers are listed here:
Private Internet Access ( privateinternetaccess.com )
WiTopia ( witopia.net )
Strong VPN ( strongvpn.com )
There are a few others, but I would stick to the big three for safety.

Some other great providers not listed above:
Anonyproz - anonyproz.com
blackvpn - blackvpn.com
There are many out there, find one that suits you.

I keep getting
FATAL:Linux ip link set failed: could not execute external program
I checked the permissions on the files and they are executabled, I checked the iproute-wrapper.sh script and it was looking for ip in /system/bin my EVO did not have it there but it was in /system/xbin so I changed that too.

I don't recommend changing anything in the scripts or files. Go back to guide & make sure you have completed all the steps exactly. Possibly you have installed something in a different location, etc.
If still not working, then try a different kernel - you did replace the kernel right?
This one is working as of now, with ROM 3.70.651.1
netarchy-toastmod-4.3-bfs-nohavs-noUV-sbc-universal (No Undervolting)

I am on CM 6.1.1 and using 12/25/10 - SBC for BC's Kernel SBC-bcnice-stable-v7.zip (2.62 MB) Kernel

sc10000, what purpose would vpn serve on the cell phone for general usage? I can understand if connecting to a company vpn for access to their network.
What would the application be? Why would I want/need vpn (openvpn) on my android device?

Why would you volunteer your unprotected data to anyone who seeks it?

Right, but why would I be connecting to my network using the handset? I'd have the vpn client running on my laptop or netbook.

vpn is not openvpn. Why would you connect any device to the internet without security?
Big brother is watching. Really.

I was hacking away at this last night, but haven't been successful in getting my vpn connection up and running.
I have copied my openvpn config from my linux box and have gone over the instructions multiple times to verify, but keep getting the following error in the log:

If I comment out the "iproute /system/xbin/iproute-wrapper.sh" from my config file, then the vpn will say it is connected, but I won't be able to access anything.
Any help is appreciated!

Most likely a kernel issue, try replacing with one that has known tun.ko support. Do not comment out 'iproute /system/xbin/iproute-wrapper.sh' or it won't work.

So I follow these steps EXACTLY yesterday (Evio 1.7.7 rom; Netarchys latest stable kernel) and I was able to connect! The tun.ko I used was one I found i believe for the Desire.. but it seemed to work, and I was able to ping my DB server at the data center.
After a restart last night, today I try and re-connect and continue to get "cannot allocate tun tap dev dynamically"
I checked permissions on tun.ko and openvpn but still having issues. WEIRD that it worked and restart causes it to fail now
Any ideas are appreciated as this will be very convenient for work! Thanks!

UPDATE: I just flashed Ziggy471's kernel (Jan 21 2011) and rebooted..
I disabled the "Load tun.ko module" from the advanced settings in OpenVPN Settings app, and connected fine again! so it apparently is using the built-in tun.ko driver in the kernel.
Just followed the directions to setup openvpn binary, openvpn settings paths, EXCLUDING the "load tun.ko module" check box and I am GOOOOOOD!
Thanks!

100% WiFi Monitor Mode using Samsung Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100) Step by Step

Hi xda-mates. In this post I'm gonna show you, How to get wifi monitor mode on your device without external wifi adapter. If you don't know what is "wifi mode" goto wikipedia. The package consist from drivers, some wifi tools and aircrack.
Monitor Mode getting steps:
1. You have to root your device.
2. Flash CM 9.1.0.
3. Check out, your using originally cwm kernel included in the firmware you flashed.
4. Download my package(the password is my nickname).
5. Extract it to your sd.
6. Open up the terminal.
7. Type
Code:
su
cd pathToYourSd
sh install.sh
it will simply install all stuff to your system.
8. Type 'wmon on' in the terminal to activate monitor mode (type 'wmon off' to activate managed mode).
That's all. You have installed all that you needed, activated monitor mode and now you can use aircrack.
Troubleshooting:
Problem:
Code:
cannot find wireless tools, exiting!
Solution:
a) You must execute wifi tools (aircrack also) from root directory!
Code:
cd /
b) Check out of iwconfig, iwmulticall, iwpriv existance in /data/local/bin/.
Problem:
Code:
insmod: can't insert 'dhd.ko': invalid module format
error: SIOCGIFFLAGS (No such device)
Solution:
a) Make sure you are in supported rom and kernel.
b) Check out the file existance in /data/wmon/ (3 file).

May be but I don't know exactly. Try to istall it. I'll help you.

GREAT!
Thanks man! i was waiting for someone to go into this much detail, but does the wmon siyah mean that i can dualboot CM 9 and w/e rom ( in my case alliance) and get this to work? my problem with this before is that nothing would happen after my wifi is disabled and module is "loaded", also what do you mean run aircrack from the root dir? like root of the sd?
P.S. Testing now on the Galaxy S2 LTE version ( Rogers)

Use iwconfig wlan0 instead of airmon-ng wlan0. And make sure that you are in the root directory.
Code:
su
cd /
wmon on
iwconfig wlan0

iwconfig wlan0

# wmon on
Original module loaded. disabling wifi
LOADING MODULE
insmod: cant insrt dhd.ko : file exists error : SI0CIFFLAGS (no such device)
then i tried iwconfig wlan0
wlan0 No such device
so i checked iwconfig to see whats up
and my Wlan0 isn't there.. hmmm
Edit: I typed in wmon on and it responded with LOADING MODULE, then i did iwconfig wlan0 and it showed it in manage mode, what next?

Don't pay attention to "managed mode" lettering, you are in monitor mode. To test monitor mode working type 'airodump-ng wlan0' and you will see that everything works perfect.

errrm.. not QUIIITEE, it says cannot find wireless tools, exiting. then it deletes all the files i extracted

IT IS WORK! one little question
THIS WORK, first, and ofc, THX man
I had a sgs2(official), rooted in gingerbread, and then i flashed ICS with CM 9.1, then i folllow yours steps, y putted my sgs2 in mode monitor and i checked.
Just one question, i searched in google, and ask in IRC, but i don't find the answer:
¿Do can i use the same steps to get WPA as Ubuntu or Backtrack? else... ¿do you know some link where a tutorial get wpa via sgs2?
I want complete the last step, thx for your time, and sry for my english

You can use all stuff like in ubuntu/bt.

Mode inyecction?
Thx for answer me, i did decide install another time backtrack in my sgs2(i removed ), but i want crack wpa without brute force or diccionaries, because it is imposible.
¿Is there some way to crack a wpa without brute force or diccionaries? ¿Do i could implement rainbow tables in sgs2, or is there some way to hashing with aircrack?
Thx for your time,

Aircrack-ng is included to the package you installed. Just type aircrack-ng after switching wifi monitor mode

from a day to other, i can't use this
i didn't use somedays, and now i can't use, it is appears as delete, or simplely, not work. I did install applications in my sgs2.
But now i can't run it. I tried reinstall, but always put in the output:
"wmon on" not found
"wmod on" not found
"wmod monitor" not found
i did that in /, and i executed the install.sh in sdcard as you said in your post.
In internet i not found nothing, and i know programming bash a little, i tried solved gave wmon bit executable but is useless, i follow all steps rights as you said. The only one thing interesant when i execute install that is the output:
Installing Driver...
OK
Installing Utils...
OK
Creating Symlink...
link failed FIle exists
link failed File exists
//I think here is the fail of my steps, i think that make reference to /data/wmon, but i am not sure, i checked that files, but i can't solved
OK
Fixing Permissions...
OK
Temporary FIles Cleaning...
OK
Installation COmpleted! To start WiFi monitor mode just type : "wmod monitor"
I am sry if i am heavy, thx for your time.

This is pretty cool, I managed to make some progress, however got error at authorization stage at line:
aireplay-ng -1 0 -a MAC wlan0
Waiting for beacon frame (BSSID: .......) on channel -1
Couldn't determine current channel for wlan0, you should either force the operation with --ignore-negative-one or apply kernel patch
same error with injection
I'm pretty new to linux stuff, is there any way to bypass this?
Another thing is that I can't use wi-fi after using monitor mode, even if i shut it down (wmon off) until phone restart, is that alright?
Thanks in advance, and keep doing the great job!

I've to correct my scripts, but don't wait for it. Just type "export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH". You can also add this to your terminal emulator as launch commands or create a script in autostart folder:
Code:
su
cd /system/etc/init.d/
touch 17env
echo "#!/system/bin/sh\nexport PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH\nexit 0" > 21env

Hi guy,
first of all, thanks for your great job.
I've seen as you have uploaded a wmon_siyah4.5.1 version... does it work with that siyah version?
I have that kernel (and that version), and I get the error:
Code:
insmod: can't insert 'dhd.ko': invalid module format
error: SIOCGIFFLAGS (No such device)
just after run 'wmon on'.
Can you help me, please?
thanks

[Q] load wifi - kernelmodule from commandline (bcmon, CM10.1)?

CM 10.1 How can I start wifi from the commandline?
Clicking wifi-widget shows that kernelmodule dhd has been loaded, wifi is working
Doing modprobe dhd shows that the module is loaded but wifi will not work, Widget has changed from black to darkblue only
Where can I find Information about handling of kernelmodules in Android? ("Is there something like /etc/modprobe.d?"...)
Background: Following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1892535 I build cm 10.1 for P3110 (Galaxy Tab 2.7.0) that includes a modified wifi-kernelmodule. Everything is OK in regular mode. Starting monitor mode by bcmon gui would not work howevever nor does manual modprobe or insmod (with or without firmware parameter, see setup.sh ).

of course you should use ifconfig to start or stop a NIC on linux/android... (see also : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932946)
I am just a bit confused about the way bcmon tried to do this (setup.sh just uses insmod).
So the questions should be:
How do I have dhd started with an option once network is started ?
What is the difference between ifconfig start and what the widget does? ( ifconfig start / ifconfig stop returns "SIOCSIFLAGS: Operation not permitted" after an unsucessfull attampt to start monitor mode using bcmon gui. after modprobe -r dhd and subsequent clicking the widget normal mode is working again. )
Is ther a better place to discuss bcmon-related issues ?
Thanks
