[Q] [GT-P5110] mount network drives in the tab - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all
After searching above many thread, i ask for help to mount network disk on my galaxy tab 2 10.1.
I can access to my network shares with smb (in ES Explorer, Perfect Viewer or Mizuu), but to enhance the capacity of these programs I really prefer that network drives appear as mounted drives.
First, i've flash the tab to CM 10.1 experimental M2, to see if it can help. Seems that not.
I've try first with CifsManager, which always say me that "Mounting the share have failed with an error. Mount: No such device or adress"
I've try then with Mount Manager. In that way, i've succeed to mount one drive, but when i go with ES Explorer on the directory, is empty.
For the both, i've created the mounting point over a microSD card, after unsuccessfully trying to created them on internal.
I think that, from the different thread i've read, the problem came from cifs module. I've got a file cifs.ko, but don't remember if is an original one (because i've copy one that i've found a thread).
So, how can i do to make it work ?
May i've to flash a new kernel version with integrated cifs modules ? If yes, can someone help me to find which is the right one for the GT-P5110 ?
Thanks (and sorry for my english).

Hello all
Still searching for that issue, i've found a link talking about the importance of loading dns_resolver.ko and md4.ko before loading cifs.ko.
While looking in my system/lib/modules directory, i've only 5 .ko files, but not these ones. Maybe it can solve my problem ?
The fact is i don't know how to get them... command line ? flash another kernel ?

Hi again
i try a little bump, if someone got an idea...
Thx

[Q] CIFS Manager says it's not installed

CIFS Manager says it's not installed if I try and run it from the apps screen with VEGAn-Tab Beta 5. However, if I run it from Market it runs. Any ideas?
Also, how do I get it to connect to anything? I did a search for CIFS.KO with root explorer (once with CIFS and another with CIFS.KO) as the search term. The only thing that shows up is CifsManager and it's correndponding dirs. I thought CIFS was part of VEGA-N.
BTW - newbie here so I'm trying to remember my Liniux stuff from years ago.

You need to run it from a different launcher. Something like Launcherpro. It does not like the stock launcher...
You set up the shares from the cifs manager app. ipaddress/sharename....
I tried but I know I not doing it right. If you say we set up everything in CIFS Manager, does that mean we don't need to do anything at all with my computer?

Only thing you need on your PC is the folder you want to use be shared and accessible on your network.
Super Newb alert.
Thank you for your response. I think it's the way I'm inputting the details in CIF Manager. I think I got far as my IP address but I'm not sure if I'm putting the right share path. The mount point should point to the folder I created on my internal sd card, right?
Also, Username and password - Do I need to fill that out?

You need a user name and password if that is how the shared folder on your PC is setup. Pretty much if you need a password to get into your computer, you need it for the shares.
Set up the mount point something like this but use your computers IP and folder name.... 192.168.0.109/share
The other part depends on what rom you are using. Stock TnT, vegaN, which one? Not all of them have CIFS built into them. TnT, and TnTLite require a kernel patch that is located in the forum. vegaN should already have it.

I just noticed what you wrote.. The shared folder is on your PC, not on your tablet.. If you leave everything at default in cifs manager it will create a cifs folder under /mnt/cifs in a file manager. The shared folder on your pc will show up inside this folder.
Once you have the share setup on cifs manager you need to tap on the name and see if you get a little green indicator. That is mounting the share. You won't see your folders until you do.

[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.

Thanks ill give that a try!!!
Ok its works great but when i restart the device the module isn't installed anymore and i have to insmod again. Any way to keep is installed after device boots???

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

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] Installing Arch Linux on Asus Transformer TF101 sbkv2

I'm presently trying to get arch linux wroking on my transformer tf101. I'm taking advice from the thread at "archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=4670", but there's something diffrent in my approach: I'm trying to boot arch from the SD card on the keyboard (not the micro SD card).
You can read the posts on the linked thread in order to know all I've been through.
I use linux3.1.10.img file containing zImage (linux kernel), initrd.img and bootimg.cfg (which helps me specify where's the OS to boot, here it's root=/dev/sda1 for the sdcard on the keyboard). After having made my modifications to the files, I update the linux3.1.10.img file and blobpack on LNX partition ready for flashing through CWM.
The flashable file actually flashes from CWM and something appears on the screen when it reboots, but it stops with errors. The problem seems to be that the SD card is not readable at the moment initrd does it's job (it's related to the fact that I use the SD card on the keyboard). Here's what it looks like:
Code:
Initramfs unpacking failed: LZMA data is corrupt
upli_phy_power_on: timeout waiting for phy to stabilize
upli_phy_power_on: upli write failed
tegra-ehci tegra-egci.1: Failed to power on the phy
g_ether gadget: rndis: can't bind, err 0
mxt_config_settings
power_supply dock_battery: driver failed to report `status' proterty
power_supply dock_battery: driver failed to report `status' proterty
sdhci-tegra sdhci-tegra.2
sdhci-tegra sdhci-tegra.2
sdhci-tegra sdhci-tegra.0
sdhci-tegra sdhci-tegra.0
Tegra protected aperture disabled because nvmap is using system memory
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)
[... bunch of errors I don't want to type ...]
CPU1: stopping
unwind: Unknown symbol address c0008364
unwind: Index not found c0008364
Light sensor: a13000a_interrupt_handler
So I need to modify the initrd.img in order to have the sdcard reachable (I guess), but I don't know what modification to do. May be someone could help?
THREADS I'VE USED FOR GETTING HERE:
- archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=4670
- forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1537566
I'VE ATTACHED THE IMAGE I USE FOR FLASHING (NOT BLOBPACKed YET)
"Initramfs unpacking failed: LZMA data is corrupt" would be a good place to start. If the initramfs fails to run then the kernel is missing a bunch of stuff for the boot process, so things will fail, like mounting the root filesystem.
Did you check this out? Someone seems to suggest a change in initramfs.conf...
I've red the post and checked my initramfs.conf file and it was already set to COMPRESS=gzip.
Anyway, I don't think it's related because the guy on the thread I linked above succeeds with the same image file. The only differences are :
- He uses the micro SD card rather than the SD card in the keyboard
- The configuration file bootimg.cfg is set with root=/dev/mmcblk1p1 (micro sd card) rather than root=/dev/sda1 (SD card on the keyboard)
So, as Gary (the owner of the thread on archlinux-arm Forums) said, I should make a change related to the search of devices made by init script(?), in order to have detected the right device before going into initramfs job.
EDIT
The problem seems to be elsewhere because I've just tried with micro SD card and I had the same error messages! My guess would be that the blob file may not be flashed completely and that's why I would get the LZMA archive corrutpion error. Or it may be something else, I don't know.. I'm pretty lost....

Hello, I haven’t read all the linked threads you posted but I remember I tried to install Arch on my TF101G as well once, but using a chroot method. I haven’t got too far though and for a lack of support I gave up =S
Thing is, I’d love to see Arch on my tablet as well, since it is my main (only) system on my pcs. Can you try installing TWRP as recovery, I’ve been using it for about a month now and it seems a lot more trustful and maybe it will be able to help you a little bit more. Also, aren’t the devices on /dev/block/sda1? I remember it being like this on mine, but maybe my current rom put it that way.
I’m subscribing here and will be reading the other threads to try it out myself. Just, what do you mean by sbkv2?

I've just finished installed ubuntu on my tf101. I needed something to let me work while I ship my laptop to ASUS for repair. I won't be messing with my sd card that got ubuntu installed on it. But, if I get a micro sd card to play with, I'll give it a try (I can't promess I'd be doing this soon)

From CWM and Android point of view, devices are, in fact, located as you said. But, from linux distros point of view they are rather disposed like I said (/dev/sda1). So when you want to tell a linux distro to look for files, you use this "/dev/sda1" rather than this "/dev/block/sda1". That's what I understood after playing with this.

All I know is that there are two types of transformer tf101: SBKv1 and SBKv2. I think ASUS has made some changes in order to prevent people messing with roms (which is what we're doing) but I think people have worked their way around this issue and it's not of concern anymore..
So, any news on this one?
I read the posts on the ALARM forum, it seems a little bit tricky to do it, I might some good couple of days at home to be able to focus on this one. But apparently they got Kernel 3 on it already, with Wifi and X server (even Openbox I think).

Every ROM i found for the j4+ doesnt register sim card

Hello,
meanwhile i flashed several ROM´s to a Samsung Galaxy j4+, 415f or fn, dual sim, 2gb RAM and i always have the annoying problem that the sim cards are not registered. Because i didn´t make a backup this is a terrific problem for me. i tried all the ROM´s i find here and none of them worked for me, even when they worked for other users. so my question is if anyone get them working with a german provider. i have tried a few o2 sim cards. is there anything i have to change in the settings or is there any guide i can read solving the problem? i would be thankful for every hint.
greetings AltStrunk
thx
ok, you overestimates me a lot. what i tried actually is unpacking the rom, opening it with notepad++, copied the two lines. and already at repacking i don´t know which format i should take. i tried zip 32kb. but even if it had worked, there is another problem with the checksum. what is the easiest way to integrate the two lines

even if i load it in android studio and export as zip it says it has an invalid zip file format.

no need to all of this just use root exploler (rw ) after opening system and add lines to /system/build.prop

(last but not least i think i understood. the images are for a prime and this has a samsung exynos and not the snapdragon. it will still run, of course, it is a gsi, but the baseband is wrong.)
edit: maybe, it seems samsung also built prime using a snapdragon.
can you suggest a good root explorer?
so it ried these without luck, where is the exact position i have to copy the two lines?
