Tethering to Android Phone - Nook Color General

Has anyone had any luck connecting the the "mobile AP" feature on their android phone with their nook color?

Using my Nexus over the weekend it connected fine to the ap. Basic settings

Worked fine on my cyanogen'd G2.

I have read that tethering only works on certain phones.
Found the solution for Tethering Droid 2 & X here
http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/android-hacks/5156-tbh-droid-3g-hotspot-nvram-hack.html
I can confirm that this solution works on my Droid 2

Working fine on my Froyo-ified HTC HD2.

No go with G1
Doesn't work (as expected) with my G1 (ad-hoc only). Tried forcing the Nook to reconize ad-hocs with a few hacks I found online. On the Nook, I tried a modified wpa_supplicant deamon and editing both /system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini and /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf files as suggested. None of these combinations worked.
fyi if you need to mess with the /system directory:
in the adb shell
# mount -o rw,remount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
enables editing the partition and
# mount -o ro,remount -t ext2 /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
sets it back to read only.

Tether works great
Mine worked 'out of the box' with my Froyo'd CM6 Aria.
Good luck

Works fine with stock Nexus One, and also with Galaxy Tab on Verizon.

Does not seem to work with rooted droid eris running cyanogen

Works with a rooted Nexus one running the latest Cyanogen.
It only worked with the portable hotspot feature of 2.2 though, pre 2.2 I had to use the wireless tether (ad-hoc), which didn't work for original nook.

I have the original DROID and I can tether to my laptop but the Nook doesn't even see it.

if wifi tethering is not working for you, it's probably because the nook does not see ad-hoc networks, this is a similar issue with the galaxy tab. The way to fix it is to edit the wifi supplicant file, i dont have a nook yet, but i think if someone looks at the changes some people did for the galaxy tab wifi supplicant file, maybe they can port over the changes for the nook.

I don't know what phone you have, but I have the Samsung Epic.
I downloaded and installed this:

I had to flash back to my stock Kernel to get it working and it works great!

Cyanogenmod 5.0.5.3 - Wireless_tether 2.0_pre8 (and older)

I just loaded my AT&T version with cyanogen 5.0.5.3, and the wireless tether app does not work.
No matter the security settings I use, it always shows unsecure network on my laptop (OSX, Ubuntu and Vista).. If I set it to unsecure in the app, it still does not connect.
I have never used it before, but I am assuming the cyanogenmod kernel has the required bits for the app to work properly.
Am I missing something stupid?
Thanks

you may want to adb push method or adb install -r method instead. reboot after install. or try my rom linked in signature.
if you don't know how to use sdk's adb, do a search here on xda for one of the many basic tutorials or ask for details.

Will do adb.. I have the linux sdk..
Thanks, will post back with results..
OK, installing with adb has the same effect.
There are posts from the google code pages where this has happened in the past (last year though), so I doubt related..
Out of ideas...!

This is with WEP set.. It must have something to do with wpa_supplicant somewhere.. I'll keep digging...
maybe it might have something to do with atnt not able to do it throught there network. like us tmobile users can use data while on the phone? dont know alot but that could be a possibility
Nah, wpa_supplicant is not negotiating wep for some reason. I just replace the wpa_supplicant.conf file with a very generic open key WEP config and it still does not work..
I need to dig through my broadcom nda's and find this chip, and see if I can use the firmware.. I'll just load it up in AP mode and run hostapd and be done with it....
Ad-Hoc just plain sucks, almost as much as wep...

lmgtfy.com - that was awesome - my family members are gonna feel like idiots asking me questions now!
I had not heard of that site before.
Regarding wep-encryption & CM 5.0.5.x:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=292
So, wep-encryption is broken (no idea why) on the latest cyanogenmod-build. Please use CM 5.0.4.1 - it works flawlessly there.
I will take a closer look the next days ... but it's hard to tell what is causing this - I don't know which changes were made on CM.
By the way ... why was this topic moved to Q&A
This is definitely an issue which needs to be solved and should stay in development!
Thanks - I googled for quite a while, and never came across that info. Tethering is not that critical (unless I am travelling), so I will just wait for a fix sometime.
I would have figured other in this forum would have hit it though?!?!?
-G
I've installed 5.0.5.3 and downgraded the kernel which came with 5.0.4.1 - and it start working again! So, I would say that this issue is related to the latest kernel (2.6.33.1)!
I've created an issue on cyanogemod:
http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=1217
i have wifi tether pre 8 on latest CM mod and its working great, wep works, and no errors in log.
I am having the same problem. I have both a nexus one and motor milestone. Tethering on milestone doesn't have problems but my nexus can't seem to connect as well no Sep security. I can see the my SSID, anyone can help?
There are obviously factors that differ between devices somehow. I too can change kernels and the issue goes away. Something is "missing" somewhere. A git pulled vanilla 2.6.33 kernel works just fine when booting the zimage from fastboot..
I have not looked at the cyanogen .config or wireless module source yet to see any modifications that would effect it...
I'm more interested in the module working in AP mode now that the driver supports it, and have been working on that...

[ROM] [WIP] Custom rom for MetroPCS users (Based off CM6)

I have decided not to build a ROM anymore. Instead, I have been working on the "Proxy Configuration Tool for Alternate Carriers" so that you can use almost ANY ROM (including CM6) with MetroPCS AND Cricket, yes, the Proxy Configuration Tool for Alternate Carriers will also support Cricket.
As you can see, the Proxy Configuration Tool for Alternate Carriers is an open-source project and you can contribute to it.
Here's the current TODO list:
- BUG: Proxy actually not updating properly when setting it through the sqlite db.
- Find out the correct ip for the mms proxy server for both MetroPCS and Cricket.
- Find out the correct network interface used by the Motorola Droid on FroYo.
- Find out the correct eri.xml file for cricket.
- Setup screen first time it runs & check for the following on every boot.
- Automatically setup APN.
- Check build.prop and modify it if it's needed (backup too) (ask for restart if modified)
- Check /data/eri.xml and install the new one if it's needed (backup too) (ask for restart if installed)
- Check for u2nl binary, if not available install it in /system/bin/, it's in the assets folder. (ask for restart if installed)
- Check for sqlite3 binary, if not available install it in /system/xbin/, it's in the assets folder. (ask for restart if installed)
- Drop database tables and replace them with appropriate Carrier Settings in: /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
- Document, organize and maybe improve configuration screen.
- It needs a better icon.
As you see, at this point is not complete, mostly due to the fact that the Proxy is not changing properly unless you reboot. It must be a stupid mistake on my part. I have been really busy lately and I have only been working on this when I get some free time, I figured somebody could contribute to this
If you'd like to test it go to the github link here and click on the Downloads tab and there should be an alpha version in there. I'll be building new versions whenever I clear out any of the items in the TODO list above.
Thank you.

How do you get metropcs on the Dinc....I would love to know
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
there's shops that will flash any cdma phone over to metro. That's why you see sprint and verizon phones with bad ESN #s selling on craigslist

- Use the ##778 programming instruction just like as if you were flashing a Droid Eris.
- Find somebody (a dealer most likely) to put the ESN into MetroPCS's database.
- Flash this rom (hopefully it'll be completely done soon)
WOW!! Ok I am currently running CyanogenMod 6.0RC1 on a HTC Sprint Hero and had a vendor here in town who gets ALL Verizion\Sprint CDMA phones on MetroPCS hook me up. He uses DamageControl 1.0 and everything works except the market of course..It does work on WiFi however.
My problem began when I just did NOT have consistent internet. It just was hit and miss. WiFi worked no problems. So I started messing around with different ROMS with NO luck at all. I have wiped and wiped (phone and SD card)everything you could do..Still notta!!! So I am super curious if this would work? I really just need my dam internet to work..It would be awesome if it was on this CyanogenMod 6 ROM...It's smoking and appears to be the best ROM I have found for a Hero..Man if anyone could help me get this baby on the net...I would be willing to pay. I think my settings are off honestly...HELP!
Your thoughts?

It will work for you, but you must be sure to take one very important step before you attempt this, or you will end up with a bricked phone.
Buy a HTC Droid Incredibile
Using this rom, or any other rom for the incredible on a device that is not an incredible will result in an unusable phone, if not bricked forever!

That's completely right.
The beauty of what I'm doing here, is that, just like I did for the Droid Incredible and the Droid, it could also be done for the Hero and the EVO, since CM supports all of these devices. As long as the source is completely open of course.
Once I fix these issues with the u2nl binary not working properly, I'll update my winzip and build the "roms" for the Droid, EVO and Hero.
For now, this build above only works for the Droid Incredible.
Nice would this work for my flash metropcs hero? Please let me know.
Thanks

I have forked and prepared a vendor repo to build CM6 for MetroPCS on the Dinc.
DO NOT FLASH THIS UNLESS YOUR PHONE IS ON METROPCS AND YOU KNOW WHAT METROPCS IS.
Reason why I did this was so that anyone that wanted to "flash" a Dinc/Droid to MetroPCS didn't have so much of a hard time doing it, and also so that everything worked out of the box (including internet on apps, connected to wifi or not).
I also managed to build a little service "app" that runs on the background and detects changes on the state of wifi connections, and it activates/deactivates proxy (and u2nl) depending on that.
Wifi Disconnected = Proxy/U2NL activated
Wifi On = Proxy/U2NL deactivated
When proxy/u2nl is active, all data goes through MetroPCS's proxy server, otherwise use wifi's internet connection.
At this point, it works great, but it's unfinished.
- Calls and SMS work perfectly with no issues at all.
- MMS can be sent and received with no issues either.
- On wifi, everything works perfectly.
- On MetroPCS data, only browser works, for some reason the u2nl binary it still not working properly.
This is meant to be free and open sourced. Not a paid solution.
The "proxy switcher" also has a configuration screen which allows to change the configuration. You can use a custom proxy, activate/deactivate proxy/u2nl, etc.
If you have the time and know about this, please figure out a way to make the u2nl binary work properly, or contact me, my twitter is in my signature, or you can PM me and we can gchat or email. I have had limited time to work on this these past few days.
Everything is open sourced,
vendor config is here http://goo.gl/ISk6
"wifi switcher" (for proxy) is here: http://goo.gl/2wwM
Also,
If you are interested on doing this on the Motorola Droid, here's the vendor config:
http://goo.gl/kuX3
Here's a built rom, if you'd like to test it
http://bit.ly/aBa5Qr
As soon as you install it, let it boot, and open APN configuration (use AnyCut or BetterCut).
Edit the one that says "metropcs" and on on the username, make replace "MDN" with your phone number, press menu, save, and then click on the radio button for that entry. After that, MMS will work.
This is based off CyanogenMod-6.0.0 and it hasn't been modified at all. All credits go to the CyanogenMod team

I'll tell you what work for me.
You need to the u2nl.zip from whiterabbit.org
In that file you will find the autostart.sh file for htc hero eris under metropcs folder.
I have to edit the autostart.sh file in order to work getting rid off some lines.
This is the file I'm using. autostart.sh
export PATH="$PATH:/system/bin"
iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
iptables -F
iptables -t nat -F
iptables -X
iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -o rmnet0 -p 6 ! -d 10.223.2.4 -j REDIRECT --to-port 1025
u2nl 10.223.2.4 3128 127.0.0.1 1025 >/dev/null 2>&1 &
exit 0
and that's all
I've pushed the files via adb in Clockwork recovery console mounting system and data
adb shell su
cd /data/
mkdir opt
chmod 0777 /data/opt/
chmod 0777 /system/bin/
exit
adb push autostart.sh /data/opt/autostart.sh
adb push u2nl /system/bin/u2nl

Yeah, if you take a good look at the vendor source I posted on the OP, this is basically what I'm doing (especifically this file). At first I tried building u2nl from scratch that didn't work, then, just to try it, I tried the u2nl binary found in whiterabbit.org and that didn't work either.
There's still something wrong with this setup I'm using, but I haven't been able to track it down yet, I did this about 2 weeks ago but lately I haven't had the time to troubleshoot it all

Sorry, I was messing with some files and screwed up the links.
I'm currently rebuilding it again with a few changes I made and also sync'd everything with CyanogenMod's source.
Will post new link tonight and also have builds for the Motorola Droid and HTC EVO.
Updated OP with latest build. This is based on latest CM6.

Thanks! I couldn't sleep so I finally figured it out
I mounted the Skyraider 3.0 RC2 release, everything works except hulu on data without wifi which is ok cause metro is slow data anyhow.
I read past instructions to get data to work I just used whiterabbit u2nl File but it seems he has a "new" folder with an edited autostart which when I pushed it on works fine...
No need to edit anything, I can switch on and off wifi no problems...

Will try it on CM6 now.
Edit: Won't work on CM6 NIGHTLY 08/24.
Works on IncredibleDoes AOSP - FRF91.
I got it working on CM6 RC3.
Now we just need Skyraider with the Froyo Final
Why did you guys have to use the edited autostart though?

Need help restoring wifi, screwed it up putting adhoc wifi on rooted honeycomb NC

Being relatively new with this sort of thing, I tried to follow cicada's thread to put adhoc wifi support for a STOCK (which obviously means unrooted) NC.
I get that now... but not before I tried this on my honeycomb rooted NC.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=860
I followed the steps... but when I got to step
adb push wpa_supplicant.adhocfix /system/bin/wpa_supplicant
It responded "cannot stat 'wpa-supplicant.adhocfix: no such file or directory.
So, I
adb push wpa_supplicant.backup /system/bin/wpa_supplicant
Then I
adb shell mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
and... no wifi. Says: "unable to start WiFi" on the settings page.
This thing kinda becomes worthless without wifi access, and I now realize that the adhoc mention I was following was for stock NC's.
Does anyone have any idea how I can unwreck this thing?
Ooops... disregard. I tried step 6, and voila! wifi is back. Minor details...
Thanks for reading... and my lesson is learned. Pay attention to ALL the steps!
Just curious, do you have adhoc running now?
I'm running the Deeper Blue's HC v04 preview (flash'd to eMMC), and did the adhoc "upgrade" last night. I used the files that were posted for the v02 preview; brought it into work today, and it's just fine...lots of new networks showing up.
I'm running the CWR flashable version of honeycomb, and can't get the market to work. per the suggestion of others i've cleared the framework and market data and cache several times but still have had no sucess. rather than just not being able to download, Now i get an error has occured message try again later message. However, I am still able to use Gmail to send and recieve emails. Any suggestions?
So I reflashed and still have the same issue i'm able to download from the market for a very short time before losing downloading privileges. also gtalk is unable to connect but i still get gmail.
edit: now g services work, but i still don't see all apps.

[Q] Galaxy Tab does not connect with HD2 Wifi

My point is that. I am using Tmobile 3G network on my HD2 as Wifi Hotspot for the (Unlock P1000 Galaxy Tab). My laptop easily discover and connect with the network easily but My Galaxy Tab discover the network only when I downloaded WiFinder. It wont connect.
The Galaxy Tab discovered it as [WEP][IBSS] through WiFinder. It tried to connect but never happened.
I downloaded EM IP Utility to obtained my HD2 Cellular Line details as follows:

I entered the information above to my Galaxy Tab Static IP. It wont still connect. Please help me.
On hd2 are u using android or windows mobile? Does your pc recognize the hd2 as a Ad-hoc network? If you are using android use the attached app for wifi tether and try again.

I am using Windows Mobile 6 on my HD2. As per the following instructions:
"I purchased a Samsung Galaxy tablet this weekend with out a 3G data plan as my idea was to just tether it to my cell phone where I have an unlimited data plan. There are several apps that will turn your phone into a wifi hot spot but all of them create an AD-HOC wifi network. Much to my surprise, by default, the Samsung Galaxy Tab will not see or allow you to connect to AD-HOC wifi networks. I took me some time to figure out how to get around this. I figured if I posted the information it might same someone else the same problems I had:
1. ROOT TABLET (This is a MUST)
2. MOUNT /system as RW - #mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
3. MAKE A BACKUP OF /system/bin/wpa_supplicant
4. REPLACE wpa_supplicant WITH VERSION I HAVE ATTACHED TO POST
5. MOUNT /system as RO - #mount -o ro,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
6. TURN wifi OFF and BACK ON.
Once you complete step 6 if there is a AD-HOC network in range it will show up as ssid(adhoc) in the available network list. Once you see the AD-HOC network you will be able to configure it and connect to it like you would any other wireless network."
How can I get to the next step below:
"MOUNT /system as RW - #mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system"?
Please Help me
1. Root your Tab.
2. Download "root explorer" from Android Market (paid app)
3.Open root explorer and copy the wpa_supplicant file from the link that ive sent you.
4. Press mount RW on root explorer then navigate to /system/bin and replace wpa_supplicant (make sure to backup the file first)

Hi Lucian,
can you send me the link to wpa_supplicant as well. I tried with other versions but none work. I am using HD2 as well. Thanks.

Sorry Lucian, please ignore this message. I missed the attachement on top.
However, strangely i am unable to replace the WPA file even after following the above mentioned steps. It just could not be replaced.
Regards
can not replace the file
Please help!
I rooted Galaxy Tab using z4root and couldn't replace the wpa_supplicant file.
Funny thing is if I choose Temporary Root in z4root then I could replace the file without error, but the file restore as default after I reboot my Galaxy Tab.
would anyone share how and which file you were used to root your Galaxy Tab.
thank you very much.

I am pleased to announce that I've patched the Atrix webtop files, allowing us to run webtop over HDMI on HKTW, AT&T 4.5.91 and ORFR 4.5.2A based system images (yes this will work on custom ROMs too), without the requirements of an official dock!
The goal is to enable the Webtop function over HDMI on any display, not just official Motorola Docks. There seem to be more HDMI display options that are disabled, for example: Clock Widget, Gallery, Music, Home. Sadly, none of these options actually do anything on the big screen, they just display the interface on the phone
However, Webtop works great! Just use the instructions below to replace the original DockService and PortalApp apk's.
Included are two versions of the DockService in the zip attached to this thread, one will enable only the additional Webtop mode for HDMI. The second one will be a "dev" version that enables every option, for those of you that are curious and/or want to try to get some of them to work over HDMI! Only one version of PortalApp is included, which is required for webtop to work, with both versions of the DockService.
One particularly interesting option that many of you are interested in is included in the dev build too: Mirror phone on display . Sadly, as stated above, it does not work (yet?). Will you get it to work?
Requirements:
Have one of the supported build and functional webtop flashed
Be rooted
Be able to work with adb
First, unpack the attached zip-file.
Go into the correct directory for your version.
Now run (in a terminal)
Code:
adb push DockService.apk /sdcard/
adb push PortalApp.apk /sdcard/
adb shell
# you are now in the phone shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system
mv /system/app/DockService.apk /system/app/DockService.apk.bak
mv /system/app/PortalApp.apk /system/app/PortalApp.apk.bak
mv /system/app/DockService.odex /system/app/DockService.odex.bak
mv /system/app/PortalApp.odex /system/app/PortalApp.odex.bak
rm /data/dalvik-cache/*DockService* /data/dalvik-cache/*PortalApp*
cd /system/app
cp /sdcard/DockService.apk ./
cp /sdcard/PortalApp.apk ./
chown 0:0 ./DockService.apk
chown 0:0 ./PortalApp.apk
chmod 644 ./DockService.apk
chmod 644 ./PortalApp.apk
reboot
NOTE: if these instructions dazzle you, try Ronaldo's CWM package (for AT&T only!): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15871616&postcount=53
NOTE2: ignore errors concerning odex files if you are deodexed.
NOTE3: If you have issues with the Touchscreen Input not working, try a reboot first. If the problem doesn't go away: fastboot flash a (stock) webtop image for your base ROM. It is currently unclear what causes this problem, but my guess is a bad flash of the webtop partition, possibly CWM related. Reboot/reflash has solved the problem for a few people encountering this issue.
Thanks to Gizmo, eval & romracer!
More information on dev version
Some extra information on the different modes that are available (but currently non-functional):
Clock: Transform your phone screen into a big clock with perks. See the time from afar, set alarms, play music, view photos and get live weather information. This mode was designed for your bedside but is useful in the kitchen and as a desk clock too.
WidgetDock: Get access to the same Android widgets, apps and shortcuts as on your phone home screen. Arrange them and change the wallpaper to your liking. All of which will be saved and applied the next time your dock your phone.
Mirror: Access and display all of the phone applications on a larger display
Other: Displays non-smart mode dock apps
Gallery: View photos and videos
Music: Access, listen, and share music
There is also mention of an "easport" option, with the following description: "Entertainment detailed description goes here. To be added later."
Although not working currently, they give a good insight in what is to come
IMO, one of the best features of the Atrix right here. You're the man!
Great, I was looking forward to this. Thanks again.

Bull****, this was all you!! Awesome work, BTW =) Excited to go back to 2.3.4!
Touch pad controls dont work for me
Everything works fine
Holy **** ! That is all.
So, frist, thanx for this excelent work! Now my webtop works.
I just have one problem, my mousepad on lapdock doesnt work!
works great! thanks!
Awesome work! I only used my atrix for a few minutes before flashing 2.3.4 so I have no idea how well this worked before, but I'm pleased. All I know is when I plug in the HDMI, it restarts into the webtop mode and it works well from there. The entertainment center app crashes but that isn't as a result of this, it definitely did that when I tried to run it before.
mouse not working
loads fine but no mouse control for me either..
Same for me. The webtop loads up fine, but no mouse control on the touchpad.

Does your mouse work ? A majority, myself included, it does not ....
For the ones whose touchpad does not work.
Did you install the CG61.img or do the Update's for HKTW 2.3.4 - Roll-up of Fixes and Mods (Navalynt's Mod) that included the Webtop Fix?
I'm using Rollup tried version 1.4 and 1.5. Touchpad is broke ****.

I was having the same problem with the mouse I fixed it by reflashing webtop from fastboot.

if by touchpad you mean using the screen of the phone as a touchpad, it's working fine. I don't have a lapdock to test, but I could walk over to the AT&T store in the AM to check it out.
Edit: if that is the case, and something is working on my Atrix but not on many others, I assure you it was just a lucky accident. I may be a systems engineer by date but by night I'm little more than an Android n00b. I'll gladly poke around on my device to collect info that might help others get their webtops sorted.
I successfully flashed the webtop and the touchpad is working fine. But I did notice at times, GUI became unresponsive to the touchpad (touchscreen). It it not perfect, but it works
See now this almost makes me wish I still had my Atrix...
I would love to tinker around with these APKs some more. Especially with the new options cropping up.
But, as it is I am doing it all blind... doing DEV for a phone you don't have is tricky business.
Awesome!! Worked perfect!
Installed using ADB via OP commands. Never flashed the CG61.img or the Update's for HKTW 2.3.4 - Roll-up of Fixes and Mods (Navalynt's Mod) that included the Webtop Fix and I am having absolutely NO problems using the screen as the mouse pad.
Make sure you followed all commands and set the permissions correctly with the chmod command.
No problems at all here, but I did flash the non-dev apk.... if you flashed the dev apk then that may be where the mouse pad issue is, I can not confirm.
