Will check the permissions of the files. Any other ideas? Cos i'm all out.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
i see the error log shows cp not found and it does not recognize the path /system/xbin/openvpn. Open busy box and let me know what version do you have and where it shows is installed and also in ROM manager fix permissions. Report back.

~ Veronica
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rcHumanz:
Got it installed. Rooted NT running 1.4.1

Well, I finally managed to get the binary installed. Here's what I did..

1. I checked all the permissions of the files in /system/xbin/ and set to 777

Then I improvised a few steps I found here and here.

2. Create symbolic links in /system/xbin/bb to busybox with the names ifconfig and route: (Credit: akxak)

ln -s /system/bin/busybox /system/xbin/bb/route

ln -s /system/bin/busybox /system/xbin/bb/ifconfig

3. Then I created /sdcard/openvpn/ containing the files from the raptorvpn.zip

4. Create symlink for cp (unix command for copy). otherwise the install-script of the OpenVPNInstaller will fail!!! (Credit: sukkubus06)

ln -s /system/xbin/busybox /system/xbin/cp

5. Downloaded and installed the OpenVPN Installer from the Market. I ran the app and installed the binary to /system/xbin/, and pointed to /system/xbin/bb/ for the ifconfig and route files.

6. Will now try to follow the next steps and configure the OpenVPNSettings.

Update

Tried to configure OpenVPNSettings; I got a prompt for the login. When I enter the login, I get a message 'Fatal: Linux ifconfig failed: could not execute external program'

openvpn and binary installed but can't connect

I followed the directions to a T i believe but I am having trouble getting past the username and password. Once i turn on spotflux.ovpn and click to enter the username and password, it goes to Wait and then says Reconnecting (caused by init_instance) Then it switches to Unknown....then wait....then back to reconnecting (caused by init_instance)...sometimes it says reconnecting (caused by tls-error)

Other info

I am running 1.4.0 rooted

when installing the binary I had one detail that was slightly different but the binary reports installed....When i got to the point where you choose how openvpn will call ifconfig/route I did not have a /system/xbin/bb option, the closest option was /system/xbin/bb/ifconfig so i chose that.

any help anyone can provide is appreciated!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
What was that detail while installing openvpn binaries. Could you download droidvpn and report if you have issues. Right now I'm testing CM7 but will go back to stock soon if you need more help.

Edit: I just checked spotflux.ovpn and I got the same thing as you but spotflux-alt.ovpn is working fine.

Just installed the latest CM7 and I'm lovin' it. But... while I had VPN working w/out incident under indirect root, I can not get VPN to work under CM7 - I just get an "Unable to connect".

Any thoughts?

- also, do I include the " " marks in step 7?

OP UPDATED WITH WORKING INSTRUCTIONS FOR CM7 ALPHA12. ENJOY!

~ Veronica
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] gwreedak:
Thanks again! Up and running w/ the new update for CM7. One question... do you know of any way to save the username/password so I don't have to enter it each time?

~ G
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] eXOuT:
Don't know about cm7 but with openvpn you can save your username and password in a txt file and link to that file from within your *.ovpn config files.

Like this:

auth-user-pass passwordfile.txt

I assume It's the same for cm7 vpn.

But just Google it for more info....

raptor vpn down?

Anybody else's vpn quit working today. I had it up all last night. Today I can't connect via the spotflux.ovpn or alt. Just wondering if something has happened on the raptor side of things since I haven't changed anything.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] gwreedak:
I don't know how it will affect things or how to reconfigure our NT's to work, but when I went to the RaptorVPN website this is the message you get:

"RaptorVPN is now part of the spotflux family. Enjoy a better, faster, more advanced VPN experience like you've never seen before by visiting http://launch.spotflux.com"

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Jimmyguns:
no way to set up an account

yeah, I downloaded the PC client and there is no account setup an account. It isn't needed. Perhaps someone with more experience will be a leader to shed some light on this.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Domiel:
so hmm im guessing this tutorial doesen't work anymore? Unless someone knows of another free VPN? Raptor VPN seems to be gone
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
I would recommend DroidVPN and Hotspot Shield

~ Veronica
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Domiel:
Ahh cool, got it working with droid vpn and your tun.ko file you posted for CM7 and MIUI since im running MIUI. Didn't bother with downloading the vpn settings app.

Any recommendations on what to use it for XD? I tried neflix and Hulu and HBO but they all want my money, and can't afford a subscription at the moment....
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
You can try the free month when you subscribe on netflix and hulu then before the it finish the free month you just cancel the subscription. Pandora is free.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Jimmyguns:
Can you please explain how to set up droidvpn and hotspot shield please. I have the original to.kun from that i used for the open vpn/raptor solution. Will that work or do i need a new one?

Thanks,

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Jimmyguns:
NM, got droidvpn working on thanks!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] chamnv:
How do CM9?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
tun.ko module is already built in the kernel in CM9 so you just need the vpn software, droid vpn works fine but few days ago stopped being beta (so no more unlimited bandwidth) you get 100mb per day and you're restricted to use 2 servers.- 1 of them is phoenix server. You can also experiment with hotspot shield to see how it goes. Spotflux (It was called Raptor VPN before) is now available only for PC and MAC i use it on my Windows 7 PC but i am still looking for a way to make spotflux accesible from an android device.

Isn't the real value being able to use unsecured hotspots and other public networks through a secured connection?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] davnsheila:
Hi All, hoping someone could give an assist... rooted Nook using indirect's method, blocked the OTA's...confirmed the 9 9 9 (something like that) for the software version and have been using it for a few weeks no issues...

Wake up one morning, check my nook and its displaying like its installing a new Update or something... and it was stuck...progress bar not moving... powered it down and its now dead dead dead... press power and nada nothing...

Anyone have any ideas on whatsup???

Thanks for your time!!!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Dfroelich:
Let it charge overnight.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
Have you tried holding power and N for 30 secs then trying to power on ??
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mikedett91:

If that does not work then boot into CWM using the sdcard method and start from there. There are CWM backups and to restore 1.4.0 already rooted and with apps. Read my FAQ in the CWM issues section. Link in my signature.

OK, tried the power N, no success... Just want to be clear, the nook is completely dead. no screen life whatsoever... the power indicator on the power cord connection is green but when I try and power up nothing...absolutely black screen, no flicker nada, zero signs of life...will trying a sdcard solution help in that situation?

Thanks again for you time!!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Denmmurray:
Is your SD card still in? Have you tried taking it out of the nook and holding power for 3 seconds?

Edit: I realized that response seemed very odd. So, with or without the SD card in you should still be able to boot past the black N screen and get to the initial boot animation. I would suggest rather than just holding the power button for 3 seconds try just holding it and eventually it will, or should, actually boot to the initial screen.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] TaylorSeidel:
I have the same problem with a nook tablet that I rooted for my brother. When I shut it down, it never powered back up. It is dead as a doornail. Very, very, very frustrating. I tried every key combination to try to get it to power up. Nothing works, Holding N+power for 30 secs didn't work. Holding vol down + power also didn't work. It's just dead. BN won't accept an exchange without a receipt. I can't believe this thing is dead after only a few weeks. I also tried charging it to full to a green light, still didn't work.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Megafern:
I have had a similar problem where the screen will not respond or turn on. Turned out to be the SD card. If I removed it, the tablet would respond right away. I now have a 32G San Disk and so far no problems.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] davnsheila:
Hi All, just wanted to circle back for an update... No change in situation, but have decided to give it a go with the warranty process, opted for the standard service with no CC info provided...figured with that route I couldn't be charged for the repair...worst case they won't fix it...Its dead to me now anyway.... will let y'all know whatsup when I hear from B&N or get the unit back...

thanks again for the comments and suggestions!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] davnsheila:
If you think a bootloader sucks, Just try the warranty process...

Just wanted to give an update, it had been over a week since I had sent the unit in; so I decided to give a ring and find out what's up... It seemed like I was the first person to ever do that, took forever to finally get an answer. I was informed that yes they had got it a week ago, but that it would take another week before the warehouse got to it...I should hear something then...

I have a annual BN Member Card, buy books there all the time, but I will never give them another penny of my money.... If only amazon put out something with and SD card slot...

Why is that such a hard spec?

Anyway, just wanted to give an update...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tspx23:
So I had an otterbox for my phone but it definitely added too much bulk.

I went ahead and bought a variation of this case: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-SGH-i..._1_9?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1328678954&sr=1-9.

It barely adds any bulk, is comfortable to hold, and is probably one of the best slim cases for our phones. I haven't seen any other ones this size. I ordered a red one off ebay for about the same (amazon didn't cover them).

My white skyrocket + this red case looks amazing!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dac1227:
Platinum Series from Best Buy has been my favorite with several devices.

Hard rubber feel, adds minimal bulk, flat black

I forget the name brand manufacturer of the case, although I think best buys "brand" are cheaper anyhow. Guys on here know the name brand, I'll edit if i remember.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] californiarailroader:
Seidio makes them. I have a PT from Best Buy for my Skyrocket and love it!

i've always used TPU cases for my phones. they're really cheap too and they work/feel great :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rkub:
Ya they're the Seidio Surface cases and at Best Buy they're $35 whereas on the Seidio site they're $55 I think... I love the seidio cases and have used them on last few phones. Only thing about the PT cases from BB they're a little looser than usual... The bottom cap on my case got a little loose after taking the case off the first time and seems like it's getting looser every time I take the case off... Guess I'm gonna have to look for another case that fits in the holster...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] calgunner:
I bought a slim case by Diztronic on Amazon and I'm pretty impressed. It has a simple design and doesn't add a lot of bulk. Best of all for $12 delivered it can't be beat.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ElBeaner:
How much thicker would you say that SGP made the phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] TurboTronix:
There is a rubber that goes around the screen which slightly raises the case but not by much...the rest fits like a glove so not much thicker.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ampm325:
Rearth has a slim case. i love it! BEST SLIM CASE. i also have a sgp neo hybrid as my rugged case.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rkub:
Oh nice, I kinda wanna get 1 of those but they're out of the white... Have you seen the seidio surface case? If you have, how does the rearth case compare to that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] justnada22:
I agree with you, for a slim case there is nothing slimmer than a TPU case. Also the TPU is smooth enough to let it slip in and out of your pockets.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rkub:
Have you seen the rearth case? It really looks like it's slimmer than the TPU cases...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] phoneturf:
It does look like the Rearth case is better than the TPU cases and I would like to try one but they are currently out of stock for the skyrocket everywhere I have looked. I don't like the tpu cases I have tried since the ones made for slim phones cover the buttons and make them hard to press. I like the "hard" mesh cases that are the most lightweight and thinnest that I have seen for other phones, but the only two types made for the Skyrocket that I have found are either hybrid with TPU underneath or one I found on ebay that is thin and light, but does not protect the bottom or top edges or the corners and sticks out a bit so looks poorly made. Hopefully Rearth will produce another batch for the skyrocket. I currently have a snap on hard plastic type that works fine but is difficult to remove and since I occassionally have to do battery pulls (flash a lot of roms) and sometimes use a seidio extended battery, this is a factor, plus it is not as slim as it could be.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] samtr87:
Has anyone ever dropped their phone with a Diztronic case on fro 3+ ft? How did it fair?

I currently have an Otterbox Commuter on my Captivate (which is getting replaced by a Skyrocket) and it has kept my phone from damage, but it adds more size than I like. The TPU cases don't look like they would protect a phone from more than scratches and small drops.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] halcyonproject:
I have dropped my SR from roughly 4ft on a couple of occasions with a diztronic case (and SGP protector). One time it landed flat on the screen and the other time it landed on the top left corner and bounced a bit. The case, however, did its job (as did the screen protector for that matter) wonderfully and not a mark on the phone from dropping.

However, I can say that the diztronic gets dust inside it very easily and it has started to scuff the back and sides of the phone where it rubs. Not that serious to some but it is happening more and more as the case stretches out so if dust scuffs drive you nuts, beware.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mrpickem:
I got my SR off Cl and it came with an Otterbox Defender. Solid case if you abuse your phone. I didn't like the size though. I've used the TPU cases with other phones and they are good, I've also used Casemate Barelythere...another solid slim option too, but they both offer very little actual protection. I wanted some protection without all that bulk so I bought a Seidio Active and love it. It adds substantial protect without excessive bulk.

http://goo.gl/F20V0

I got the black one, but to each his own...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] promiseofcake:
I come from the "slim" mentality, formerly I had a case-mate "Barley There" for my Blackberry 9700 Case Mate - Barely There 9700 | case-mate.com and now I have the Seidio Surface.

I am not used to a case protecting the front of a device, as the Active does, but it has saved me from a bind or two. When I had the barely there, my phone's corners got dinged up all the time. However, I find myself taking the device out of the case often because despite the fact that it is very small, it's not as small as the device itself (the case probably adds 4mm).

For the Active I would say:

Slim: 4/5 (4MM > without)

Protection: 4/5 (Minimal shock absorption)

For the Rearth i'm thinking:

Slim: 5/5 (I would say 1 - 2 MM > without)

Protection: 2/5 (corners open, face open)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] darkcurrent:
I dropped my skyrocket from 3ft before with the TPU case. It was onto concrete/ sidwalk/ roadway material. I dropped it twice and there was no damage.

The only bad thing about the TPU cases is that the matte grey one turns yellow after a while...

Also, like another member mentioned, the volume buttons are really hard to press, or they press themselves if you don't cut the plastic out... but if you do cut the plastic out of the area where the volume buttons are, then it's hard to press the volume buttons
