Ok, so here's what I did after reading your post:

1 - Corrected the path (Sorry, it was late and I missed that /dhcp portion of the path).

2 - Deleted "option router 192.168.1.1" from udhcpd.conf file

3 - Deleted "option dns x.x.x.x x.x.x.x" from udhcpd.conf file

Set Windows up with the Following:

Static IP : 192.168.1.2

Subnet : 255.255.255.0

Gateway : 192.168.1.1

DNS Servers : 4.2.2.1 & 4.2.2.2

That worked.

So, what I am seeing if I try to use DHCP on Windows is that the 4gHotSpot gives the computer 192.168.

16

.x addressing even though the config file is set to give out 192.168.

1

.x addresses (x=2 through 254). It also gives Windows 3 DNS servers that are local IP addresses and will never go anywhere.

What to do now? Figure out what is being changed with the Custom ROMs that is causing the app to act like that. In fact, it will act like that when I restore back to Stock GB Rooted via restore from backup in CWM, but I have yet to test deleting the config file and restarting 4gHotSpot to test. I will do that over the weekend as I don't have a lot of time I can have my phone down during week. But I do plan to up to the GingerVolt1.3 tonight.

As of right now, I am using my windows machine connected to the 4gHotSpot App to write this post. Also, I don't know about the iPhone/iPad and possible settings. If you can Force (Set a Static IP) then follow what I did up above, but you will also need to set the DNS servers and not sure you can do that on an Iphone/iPad.

The DNS Servers I listed are found on a public list and are also said to be Verizon DNS servers...

The other problem I found and is an issue with the app, is using auto b/g/n will cause the hotspot to lose connectivity. When in that mode, I connect at 65Mbps, but it drops down to 6Mbps and stalls and fluctuates. I set it to 'g' only and get a SOLID 54Mbps connection just like the tether apps.

SPEED TEST Results: 18.35 Mbps Down, 10.66 Mbps Up without a glitch.

Obviously this app works with DHCP addressing as STOCK. So, I will begin my Android Development with figuring out one of two things. Either get this app to work as it's supposed to, or create a root app with 'Infrastructure' based on whatever I can find in the coding for this app if I can figure out a way to decode it. :)

I personally hate the idea that you can't connect other android devices to AdHoc and also annoys me to have to manually connect Windows since it doesn't seem to have the ability to automatically connect to AdHoc Networks. Linux does perfectly fine with auto connect AdHoc, go figure. Android is Linux Based, yet can't AdHoc, but provides an AdHoc as an access point for other devices. weird, lol.

Let me know if any of this helps, but do know I am going to continue to figure this out. I'm sure de-odexing the app had something to do with it as I'm sure Verizon did their best to keep this app from being hacked for free HotSpot service.

Thanks for the detailed response.

I'm going to try again. I won't be able to try until tonight or tomorrow morning when I have time to play with it and roll back if necessary.

I'll let you know if it works or I find out anything else.
[LG Revolution] Cybie257:
Before you install a ROM and have the app working, try connecting your computer and get the values (ip, dns, gateway, etc.) That the app dhcp assigns and post that. Rooting the phone alone shouldn't break the app either. By getting those values posted, would help and also save me from downgrading just for that purpose. Knowing that it works with without a mod is one thing,. So my focus is working on getting it to function with a modded ROM.

It's strange that i can get the app to work if i force the connecting device to values (static settings), but this doesn't help with certain devices and needs to connect via dhcp.

[LG Revolution] Cybie257:
These number are from your connected device? What device are you connecting that give you such numbers? I'm not familiar with the iPad and how it displays connection details. Is that what that is from?

I'm still able to connect after updating to GingerVolt1.2 and manually installed 4gHotSpot app. I just got home with little time to work on this project for the night, so I will update what I can if any changes in getting things to work.

-Cybie
[LG Revolution] displacedbuck:
those numbers were from an ipad connected via dhcp.

I'll see if I can use a laptop at work today to see the values I get connecting from a laptop. Should be the same I would imagine.

I will retry rooting the stock rom tonight and see what happens.
[LG Revolution] Cybie257:
Sounds good. Those numbers will help.

I will add, though, that someone posted a way to get the wifi tether to work with the Revolution, here in the forum. The problem, though, is that it's connection via 'n' mode, which would be great, except it drops out. If you try to download something that's fast (or going to speedtest sites), you will find that that happens and what everyone is complaining about the HotSpot app not working. All that needs to be done is changing it to 'g' only mode and a solid connection.

Anyhow, I will see if I can figure out how to get that app working on 'g' only mode also, and if I do, then I will just use that app instead. Otherwise, I plan to continue to figure out the 4gHotSpot App

[LG Revolution] jamRwoo:
Cybie,

Glad to see someone's tackling this...I don't suppose your work here could be applied in a way that would make this app work for those who don't pay for the mobile hotspot?

I am waiting on a replacement Revo to arrive in the mail, should be here tomorrow or Saturday. Any values I can pull that might be of use to you before I get happy with flashing roms, rooting, etc?

I find that the OpenDNS nameservers tend to work pretty well everywhere I use them, if you wanted to give them a try:

Primary: 208.67.222.222

Secondary: 208.67.220.220
[LG Revolution] Cybie257:
Sorry for the delay. Been working extra hours at work and haven't had the energy to do much with this past couple days. :)

Anyhow, no, I don't intend to try to get it working for those who do not pay. Why? There are apps out there for this and the only reason I was trying to get this to work properly was for the fact that it would be nice to have the proper connection for those who do pay. I say that because the HotSpot app actually has a faster wifi connection (using n mode) than the tether (root) apps out there, with the exception of the one posted at:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1339150

Unfortunately I am having the same issue with the HotSpot and that app (using infrastructure mode) when connecting. They both to link up at 65Mbps. In fact, I got 72Mbps with the wifi Tether app from the link, but like the HotSpot app, I have issues with the connection dropping out using 'n' mode.

The HotSpot app will allow you to set it to 'g' only mode, though only get a 54Mbps link speed, but sustains a solid connection with no drop outs. Others say they don't have that issue, so it may just be my wifi adapter??? I am going to test it on my laptop, but if I remember, I did have that same issue with the laptop, so maybe it's just my phone??

Either way, I am going to be doing what I can to get 4gHotSpot to work correctly with rooted/modded ROMs. Strange thing is, rooted, it still works fine. After installed modded ROM, it fails to work. And if I restore back to factory rooted via CWM, it still doesn't work. You actually have to restored/flash back to total stock. After that, you can root with it working, but not after installing a ROM. :(

[LG Revolution] ALTANertive:
Any luck with the fix?
[LG Revolution] sgschwend:
OK, so I read that your hotspot worked fine after rooting, but stopped with the ROM was changed.

I rooted my phone yesterday, using the one button method. I have not modified the phone beyond this change. As far as I can tell the only functionality problem I have is with the hotspot.

The tether method continues to work (as I am using it right now). The hotspot does make a wifi connection to my devices but there never is any received data from the network.

Please help, any ideas on what I should look at or change?

Thanks ahead of time.

[LG Revolution] Cybie257:
I've been doing testing. Please read below for some more of my findings. :)

I've noticed something very strange with the HotSpot and Rooting.

If you root, the HotSpot continues to work. But, if you reboot after rooting, that's when the failures begin. So, I am thinking that the files are being overwritten. I've been able to test with clean root, root with tether app, and restore without root.

Without root, the HotSpot continues to work fine as I have been using it for the past two weeks as I need it for my new WiFi Tablet. There is the WiFi app the allows for Infrastructure, but that also allows devices to connect via N-Mode, where I have issues of the data dropping out. Forcing b/g only on my HotSpot app, I have very reliable service.

I am planning (after my trip) to root my phone, copy some DHCP files before ANYthing can be changed and before rebooting. Comparing these files and seeing if anything changes there. If so, that will allow me to create a simple app to restore these files back to stock, either automatically, or through 'starting' of the app.

I haven't forgotten about this issue and It's something that I am needing to figure out. The problem is time right now. For the past few months, I had to work a job in order to keep bills paid. That job took a lot of my hours I used to have to figure things out. I am going to be having limited time available, but do plan to work on it some more in the next few weeks, especially since i want my Tablet to work flawlessly with my phone, as that is my ONLY source of internet and I DO pay for the HotSpot service.

-Cybie
[LG Revolution] ALTANertive:
Thanks for the update.

Like you I also pay for the 4g hotspot. I jumped on it when they offered the unlimited for $30.

Now that I've tried the gingervolt rom and the supercharger script I don't think I can go back. It just feels like a totally different phone.

I haven't had as much need for it recently so I haven't tried one of the other tethering apps.

Thanks for plugging along on this.
[LG Revolution] sgschwend:
Yes, thanks for looking at this.

Here is some more observations:

Using your set ip and other setting I can get the hotspot to work. Two of my devices are not able to set a fix address without rooting them. So they do connect but only my PC will download a web page.

Here is the address my Revo is setting on the other two devices: 192.168.16.30 and .31.
[LG Revolution] Cybie257:
Ok, so here's an update to this issue.

I have tracked the problem down to a failure to write to the udhcpd.leases file within the /data/misc/dhcp folder.

So, I did some searches on the net about a few things, but there's not much information regarding the "paid" HotSpot feature vs the (Root) Tether Apps.

What I did comes across, though, is there seems to be some sort of issue with certain versions of busybox relating to the udhcpd.conf. I also found the file that gives the 192.168.16.x addresses. But, by the time I found it, the phone already goofed up the HotSpot app settings and things weren't working. So, next round of factory restoring via LGNPST/Tot, I will seek into that and see what I can find out.

It's weird that the 4g HotSpot app will work flawlessly on the initial boot (Rooted, ROM'd, and even OC'd). But, after a reboot of the phone (once or twice), it becomes corrupted and non-working. It's going to be related to some sort of permissions issue and some file that is able to be corrupted/changed with the root/superuser access. I had similar results with fresh restore and JUST root, so the ROM's have nothing to do with it as far as I am concerned at this point.

In case you might ask. I Refreshed phone to total stock, rooted, and then, all at one shot, installed Gingervolt 1.3, OC, and Hotspot before rooting phone. HotSpot worked fine until the next reboot, where it did work for a few minutes then Kaboom! Nodda.

If someone can access (pull) the /system/var/lib/misc/udhcpd.leases file from a fresh stock phone, or even first-time booted, rooted phone, I would appreciate that as this file may be something in question, but my file was already changed by the time I found it.

-Cybie
[LG Revolution] sgschwend:
I love to help but mine isn't working either. Can you get me started on returning the phone back to stock? I did install a backup util, and ran it first thing after rooting. But I am guessing that wasn't soon enough.

I will take a look at the file I have, I will try the two viewers I have, not sure if they will work.

I did run a restore, and the hotspot did work afterwards. My signal is very weak -110 dBm right now so if you can tell me how to copy/view the file I can get it for you (I did check my tools and could find the file but could not view it, I tried to email it to myself but the encoder couldn't handle it).

By the way, are you aware of a bug in the hotspot, tethering. When you turn off the hot spot and start tethering the hotspot comes back on and tethering will not start. It take a phone power turn to fix it.
[LG Revolution] Cybie257:
EDIT: When you copy these files, Don't view them until you zip up a copy first. They could potentially get corrupted. not likely, but with the way it's going with this 'project', who knows. :)

adb pull /data/misc/dhcp datadhcp (This will copy files from phone to a created directory called datadhcp)

Also, and more importantly, this is what I am really wanting:

adb pull /system/var/lib/misc varmisc (copies to created varmisc folder)

AND

adb pull system/etc/dhcpcd dhcpcd (copied to dhcpcd folder)

The created folders and files will be in the same 'dos' directory you have adb in. You can use the folder in which the all in one root is from MT if you are wondering where to get that by any chance.

Those would be a big help in getting thing figured out. At least, if those are the culprits. :)

NOTE: In order to have non-corrupted files, these have to be pulled from a fresh restore via LGNPST / Tot method. A restore via nandroid backup will not work. those files, once corrupted, seem to remain so, even after a restore for some odd reason, unless you were lucky enough to not have them corrupted prior to backing up, which would likely mean you rooted, rebooted into recovery and backed up before rebooting into your phone.

Please clarify on this. Are you referring to starting the 4gHotSpot, shutting it down, and then starting a (root) Tether App??? If so, I haven't really had that issue because once I have to use the root apps to tether with, that usually means my HotSpot won't work at that point. I will say, however, I have had an issue where the HotSpot didn't want to shut down. I just go into Services/App Management and force a shutdown instead of a reboot. A bit quicker....

-Cybie
[LG Revolution] sgschwend:
I will take a run at copying this stuff later today.

On the hotspot bug. Even before rooting, or upgrading to GB there was this bug, and it is still there after GB.

Once the hotspot has been started and then the user shuts it down it appears to shut down. Then the tethering (the application that came with the phone) is initiated it looks like it is tethering but the hotspot icon comes on after the phone has finished tethering and indeed it is running that way too.

I tried this five time last night: Restored the hotspot both application and data (titanium app), installation part of the application would fail but T said it was complete. Launched the application and two of the five times the PC had the correct IP address, the other three times it had the corrupted ones. Also when the PC did come up correctly the second device's IP address was corrupted. So I may need to fiddle a bit to fine the uncorrupted files after restore.

Perhaps someone else could help with copies the files too?
[LG Revolution] Cybie257:
I can't say that I've had that issue with the app. There was a time or two that it didn't appear to shutdown, leaving an icon in the taskbar, but as soon as I restarted the HotSpot app, it would refresh and work fine. :?

The IP Address issue comes from the fact that whatever is being corrupted, tends to not release the 'dhcp leases' properly. Also, while digging into the phone, I found two (or was there a third) udhcpcd.conf files and two udhcpd.leases files. So, when I discovered the 2nd conf file, it was at that point it was already to late. :( So, I am either in need of waiting for someone to share there stock files, or go through the painstaking process of restoring to stock again. Which is fine, except I can only do that when I am sure I won't be receiving any calls, need to get online, or needing to go somewhere for the rest of the evening. Potential problems keep me from taking chances in the middle of the day. So, if nothing shows up by Sunday afternoon, I will likely restore sunday night when nothing is going on for me.

-Cybie

PS. It is my assumption that any files/permissions becoming corrupted to cause this malfunction will continue, so my goal is to create a script/app that will correct this on-the-fly that can be run just prior to running 4gHotSpot. Or, could just create a script/app that runs and loads the 4gHotSpot app. :)
[LG Revolution] Cybie257:
UPDATE:

My conclusion at this time, based on research and investigation, is that the busybox included with the root and other changes, causes the issue. I found a website that showed dhcp having issues with certain versions of busybox. Unfortunately, I failed to save the link in a bookmark, but that is related.

I'm going to begin putting my time and resources into an app that I have a good feeling will bring in some much needed cash flow. Totally unrelated to this thread or forum, so nuff said.

Will I put a close to this issue? Not at this point. I will still work on things, just not going to be any such priority.

Please let me know the phones, that allows me to install any Mobile OS in it.. I know that HTC HD2 can have 5 os in it.. IS there any other phone supporting all oS? :confused::confused:
[General Questions and Answers] javalino:
i wish i have the answer to your question. I looking for a phone that supports WP7 and android. it seems that only HD2 have this support. I guess is because microsoft dont allow using the same hardware of WP7 devices on android devices on the same company, so it cannot use the source code of wp7 drivers to make android drivers. Then the community have to create drivers from scratch, witch is hard.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KatDjtized:
Hello,

I'll cut to the chase cause i have a tendency to drag out the tiniest detail for ages, and i just wanna ask this XD

Basically, i have a Galaxy S II, and i love it, i started hacking it around august after owning it since the UK launch. I like to see myself as fairly competant when it comes to NOT permabricking it, however i still am hesitant to flash new roms, kernels cause of lingering fears.

So! What i came here to ask, is i am planning to purchase a second phone just for this reason, and have been looking at the Nexus One, HTC Desire, and original Galaxy S. Sadly i dont know much about the hacking scene of every other phone, so i dont really know what other choices there are.

Basically, what phone would you reccomend, even if i havent mentioned it, to buy purely for the community behind it?

Thanks,

Katy
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ditamae:
The HTC Vision (aka the T-Mobile G2/Desire Z) has a great community of developers, cookers, and users. I was hesitant to start flashing custom ROMs initially after rooting as well. So I went back and hacked my old Motorola Cliq to test things out. I promise you if you can read and follow directions you'll have no problems flashing ROMs... there's a great variety of ROMs for the Vision and I expect in the not too distant future we'll also see Ice Cream Sandwich. ;)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
I would beg to differ on the previous HTC comment. I have an Evo. It's getting up in age, but I love it. There are tons of roms available for it, and even though development has slowed, you'd still be surprised at the amount of development happening. If you're looking for a phone solely for playing with, you'd have plenty of options with the Evo. You can get one fairly cheap, especially if you opt for one with a bad ESN - which you might as well since you won't be activating it.

It's nearly impossible to brick - the only way you could would be to pull the battery during a radio update.

Of course which phone you get depends on your wants and needs. Check out the development subforums for the devices you have in mind.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melvinchng:
Nexus one and evo is different. Doesn't like HTC due to not giving out updates that they promised. Eg: HTC flyer is still in GB. If you wanted a true unbrickable phone, get a developers' phone. Instant update and super extremely easy to unlock. And it is fit for every update to give you full user experience.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DannyBiker:
The HD2 is an option too. Getting seriously old (but that much as dual core has still to be really used by the OS) but it sill has a lot of development going on, kernel and ROM wise...MIUI, CM7, Sense, WP7 and WinMo etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] aaron7114:
I have the AT&T version of the galaxy s2. I rooted it earlier and everything was working fine with the stock rom. Then i downloaded the revolution rom because it seemed pretty popular. After flashing the rom my menu buttons at the bottom of my phone are all messed up.The search button and back button dont work at all then the home button actually works as the back button instead of the home button. So im guessing the revolution rom is made for one of the internaional galaxy maybe? Can anyone help me? Even other rom suggestions would be freat because im really not liking the feeling of this one, especialy with my buttons all messed up. thank you ahead of time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kytrauma:
Just flash hellraiser overtop of the rom and it will fix all the buttons.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Adelaide.:
Unless you get the ROM out of the dev forum for the AT&T SGS2 you probably shouldn't flash it unless you have a really good idea of what you are doing. With my limited experience I would suggest flashing stock and starting over with a ROM designed for the right phone. If you read the hellraiser thread it is really an alpha release and there is a lot of debugging and testing going on.
