[Q] Lenovo S6000L ROM/OTG HELP. Assistance is greatly appreciated.

I recently purchased the Lenovo S6000L tablet for the purpose of traveling. I wanted a large screen (10.1) tablet that could do the basic functions of a laptop, without having to lug around my 17.3 inch HP laptop to and from work/etc. My issue is, I work for a company that will not allow us to access their WiFi (security reasons), but we can use any LAN. I purchased an OTG cable and a USB to Ethernet converter. To my surprise, my Lenovo tablet wouldn't recognize the converter, thus, not allowing me to access the internet via the OTG cable. After that failure, I decided to root my tablet, which I did. Even with the root I can't seem to tweak the tablet to allow the internet connection bridge to work. Being P/O, I decided to go a step further by flashing a custom ROM to the tablet in hope that a different ROM would read and react to the OTG setup, but I'm unable to find a ROM that would work. Well their you have it, this is my big issue. Even though those are the steps I've taken or are willing to take, doesn't mean It's the only thing I'm looking to do, I'm open to anything that will work. So I desperately ask, does anyone have or know of a solution for me to use a RJ45 ethernet cable on this S6000L Lenovo tablet?
P.S. I've hooked up the USB to Ethernet to my PC and it worked, so it's not faulty. I've hooked up a flash drive to my tablet via the OTG cable and that worked also, so the OTG cable works as well.

you cannot use like that because to use internet from other device to android you must use reverse tethering method and it can be done only from connecting it to a laptop or pc
so yyou cant use internet directly from lan cable to your tab

I don't want to use it from another device.

I'm not using it from another device, I'm only using it and want to use it from a router and/or directly from a modem. I only hooked the adapter to my laptop once just to verify the adapter was working.

yes i understood your question
i said there is no way to use internet in tab from lan cable

The Nexus 7 tablet does it.

Corrections for the above reply: I misread your reply. In theory, reverse tethering is the same method. A source that contains internet(PC) that you bridge to your tablet and gives it internet. The Nexus 7 is one tablet that allows you to bridge a RJ45 to the tablet for LAN access, and their are others. My best guess is it's an software issue that Lenovo has blocked, but I'm looking for a way around it. I don't know if they added anything specific to the stock that is killing that use or is it just that the adapter I purchased isn't compatible with what I believe is Linux based software. As I said, I will travel any path to victory, even if I have to flash software that's used on the Nexus 7, if possible.
Sorry for the delay, I'm at work and people keep coming to me.

Houston, I believe I have a solution to my problem!!
I have no clue why I didn't think about it earlier but all it may take to remedy my issue can be spelled with one word, Portable Wireless Router. Ok, that's 3 words, but who cares! I don't. Whenever I'm in a situation where LAN is available but WLAN isn't, I figure all I would have to do is to plug the LAN into my soon to be purchased TP-LINK TL-WR702N 150Mbps Wireless N Nano Router. And BOOM! my own private WiFi hotspot.

[Q] How to control phone via ADB/OTG Mouse (my touchscreen died)

My touchscreen just crapped out on me a couple weeks back. I've bought a new phone and was able to retrieve all my documents/pictures from my One XL as it functions perfectly in all other aspects other than the touchscreen.
I was hoping to turn this into just a not so portable PMP having it permanently sit in the dock so I can watch movies and youtube while on my PC and control the phone via the usb port with my mouse. I tried my OTG cable with a usb mouse but that doesn't seem to work.
I also tried android screencast which while it mirrors the device's screen onto the PC doesn't actually grant any control over the device.
I was wondering if you guys knew of a way I can bypass my lockscreen via using the ADB as that's the first hurdle I need to get through.

Control S3 with broken screen

I have my wife's old S3. The screen is broken and the touch sensitivity doesn't work.
It is unlocked and I can connect it to my PC monitor with an MHL cable and see the screen. This requires a charging cable to be plugged in for it to work (not the case with the S4 and S5)
I have a USB keyboard and mouse which will control it using a USB OTG cable. If this is plugged in via the MHL cable on an S5 it doesn’t control the phone, so I guess the S3 will be the same even if I could get the screen to display after removing the charging cable.
I have a Chromecast so I could screen cast but would need a way to set this up on the phone first. Then I could just use the USB mouse and keyboard.
I want to install tasker, wake on lan and connect the phone to a wireless network. I will then use the phone to remotely wake a PC by sending it a text message (can’t set ARP entry in router). I already have this set up on an S4 at home. I have an S5 spare but don’t want to waste it for this purpose so would like to find a way to configure the S3.
Does anyone know how I can somehow access the S3 screen and also control the phone at the same time? I have seen a post referencing needing USB debugging but with very little other info.
Or, just in case, does anyone possibly know a way to run wol when the router doesn’t support it e.g. use a raspberry pi etc. so I can just forget the phone method?

How can I display the broken phone screen on a computer?

Hello, I am a new user of this forum and wanted to find out is there an application for downloading on a computer that allows you to use it from the phone on the computer display? I'm asking because the touch screen it does not work on the phone and I have to enter an important application and make a copy backup and I wanted to do it on my computer.

if only touch doesnt work, use your usb C to usb adapter (came with the phone) or if you lost that buy a usb c to usb otg- adapter.
connect a computer mouse to your phone, don you use the mouse to click.
not sure if this works if you cant use touch on your phone:

last way would be using adb (please dig deeper in that topic by yourself).

Remote control my android phone over wired-LAN

Hi,
I am a member of a lab where I can't enter with my phone (galaxy s10) for RF interference reasons.
I'd like to be able to use my phone from inside the lab when it's outside and even use it's internet connection.
What I do have in the lab is an Ethernet connection, and I have an ethernet adapter for my phone. The phone isn't rooted, I can't root it and don't want to root it. There's no internet access on the existing ethernet to the lab.
This issue bothers also my lab partners and we can't connect this lab to internet permanently.
my questions:
1. I'd like to remote control my phone over a PC (windows or linux) in the lab - is it possible to do this over LAN? I want to be able to access my whatsapp and Gmail, to know when I have a call etc... (like mstsc in windows, but to control an android)
Airdroid remote control doesn't work because my phone isn't rooted and it can do this only by USB...
2. Assuming that I put an ethernet switch where my phone is left, and me and my friends connect our phones to the switch, Is it possible to use the android's built-in ethernet tethering for each of us and use somehow directly the internet connection of our phone?
if you ask why, it's because we want a stable connection and not to rely on one friend's tethering.
a 4G dongle isn't an option (anyway, it's a switch, and putting a router is forbidden).
I know that the requirements are a bit strange, but this is the case.
Thank you for the help!

If phone's Android is rooted, and if phone has an appropriate Ethernet driver installed, and if phone is OTG capable, and if on phone the Ethernet app is installed, then you should be able to tether phone via LAN with computer.

Good idea. Is it only in the paid version of teamviewer?
Is there also another app that does it? I found somethink like apuppet, but I'm not sure it is what I need.
Thanks

Only to have said it: TeamViewer requires on both ends a vaild Internet connection to work, it's a wireless solution.

I think that it's also possible to work offline when connected to a LAN without interbet, but as far as I understand, it's only available in the full version of teamviewer for android.

As I can see I was obviously mistaken.
