No need to unroot.

Firstly replace the updater-script with the one attached. Rename the archive to update.zip and place it into \sdcard.

Then put CEEBoot folder into \sdcard\clockworkmod\backup

Start clockworkmod Backup and Restore->Advanced Restore->CEEBoot->Restore boot

Then "install update.zip from sdcard".

I'm very newbie in Android, but I think the result is not rootable yet.

All the applications into the SuperUser list keep showing that permission is granted. SndInitDefy even pops up the superuser prompt.

But it's not true, as there is not root access.

Maybe a more advanced user than me can find a solution.

So be sure that you change your font before installing the update, it will keep working fine!
[Defy Android Development] LeopardSurd:
Doesn work. Boot loop before Motorola animated logo.
[Defy Android Development] p4tgb:
Here is my nandroid backup

Motorola Defy+ 2.3.6 CEE Nandroid Backup

Beware that the system font is changed!

And not sure about downgradeability if you flash boot.img! Use it at your own risk!
[Defy Android Development] Chamelleon:
I'll try it but when DFP-231 will be rootable cause now custom rom is not usable without root. I need to say I'm not and expert in android too so I can try this method with updating but I'd prefer nandroid or full sbf of this rom to be sure everything works fine to mod it like my old DFP-125 but thanks for replies and advice.

Edit:

Thanks for nandroid. Is it clean or updated nand from DFP-125??
[Defy Android Development] p4tgb:
No, its not clean! It's the updated 125.

Sorry, but my favorite font is installed in the nandroid.

You don't have to try it, I just uploaded it for anyone how have trouble with it, I guess there will be a full sbf soon.
[Defy Android Development] Chamelleon:
Thanks anyway. I hope full sbf will be soon and it wont be like with DFP-125 witch is still not available and only rt and de can be found.
[Defy Android Development] LeopardSurd:
As I said, I tried to install again with update.zip method above but I've got an bootloop again (with whipe data and cache).

So I managed to restore the system as it was to be accepted by OTA update. First of all, I flashed the 2.3.5 sbf for Great Britain (provided here on XDA, there is no sbf for CEE, only nandroid ), than I rooted it and installed CWM (last official one) . Made a backup for Zinio, Cardio Trainer and 7player. Than I restored the original nandroid for CEE region provided and than restored the 3 apps above (the nandroid doesn't have them) and restored boot.img for CEE provided here on this tread. The nandroid for CEE is an untouched one except those 3 apps that have been deleted. I get that nandroid from a german forum.

After all these procedures, I unrooted via CWM, checked if everything is okay. Than uninstalled CWM via its own menu. Than made an hard reset via bootmenu of the phone, reboot, set the Motoblur account, check and download the update package and installed it normally (as the phone indicates). Everything went fine. Now I have the last CEE with 2.3.6 unrooted and not yet rootable.
[Defy Android Development] p4tgb:
I'm glad you made it.

I think that the bootloop problem you had, has something to do with the way you root your phone and the Busybox installed.

There is no need either to uninstall clockworkmod or unroot.
[Defy Android Development] Chamelleon:
Thanks for guide to make it work but I'll better wait until someone root DFP-231 cause I wont stay with clean stock rom for next few week/months but I hope it will be days. Thank anyway. Good work.
[Defy Android Development] LeopardSurd:
Well I did that because I smell that Motorola will never release an update through MSU. Until now, there are a couple of updates for Roms in some regions that where never available as sbf. I just wanted to come back to original. The official ROM is not bad and is better builded in terms of stability than CM7. For original ROM, I only need root to delete those 3 apps and to use Root Call Blocker (it needs root acces). I can live without root.

Indeed I have had busybox and tried to uninstall it but without success. Busybox installer said that cannot do it (more instances).

Thinking about jumping on this.

[Member-Found Deals] magus57:
Just saw this elsewhere, and wondering too whether I should get it. I was originally looking at some 7" tablet but the full-size ports and removable battery are nice. And yeah, there are better tablets out/coming, but they also cost more and either require proprietary connectors or don't have full-size ones.
[Member-Found Deals] getbuzzin:
Thinking about it too but will hold off. It's a shame it's only for one day. Waiting to see if anything Comes up about the Asus memo 370t from mwc later in the week. Also there doesn't seem to be a lot of dev for the thrive.
[Member-Found Deals] Schmarvin:
Well, considering the number one brand my company repairs daily is Toshiba. I don't believe it to be a very reliable item. Very cheap though.

Also, sale ended. :/

Hi there, thanks for posting this app! On my HSPA Galaxy Nexus, I am finding that when using mobile data, I can't connect to any websites after connecting to a VPN using your app. The same sites work when using the OS's VPN menu, but I don't want to have to set a lock screen. Everything works fine over wifi though. Any thoughts?
[Android Apps and Games] Html5Clouds:
Hi ,

can you tell me what firmware do you use ?

can you send me some logs with pppd connection and routing table, when you are connected using OS VPN connection and when you are connected with VpnRoot.

thankx
[Android Apps and Games] cmstlist:
I can make logcat files - is that what you are looking for, or something else? Please tell me what else I'd need to obtain and how to find it, and I can certainly pass it along.

I'm using stock rooted deodexed 4.0.2 for Galaxy Nexus GSM (yakju).
[Android Apps and Games] Html5Clouds:
send me 2 files :

cat /proc/net/route > /mnt/sdcard/os-vpn.txt - when you are connected with os-vpn

and

cat /proc/net/route > /mnt/sdcard/vpnroot.txt - when you are connected with vpnroot

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] B1ny:
Any plans to add reconnect feature?
[Android Apps and Games] cmstlist:
Will try to do so this weekend when I have a moment.
[Android Apps and Games] Html5Clouds:
yes reconnect option is on todo list :)

thankx for using my app :)
[Android Apps and Games] cmstlist:
Okay I got them... and if I'm not mistaken, they are byte for byte identical. Yet I still see a difference - with the OS VPN it works over HSPA, and with VPNroot nothing works over HSPA.
[Android Apps and Games] B1ny:
I need to add DNS search domains, can't find any way to do that?
[Android Apps and Games] cmstlist:
Any other thoughts on how to make this work over HSPA?
[Android Apps and Games] Html5Clouds:
i think u have a problem whith dns lookup....

can u try to load a web page using ip addres of that page ?

try in your load in browser http://74.125.232.208 which is one of the ip address of www.google.com.

i will try to release a new version in which u can set dns on manual.

thankx
[Android Apps and Games] cmstlist:
Nice hypothesis, but incorrect. The IP address doesn't load anything using your app over HSPA. Something is preventing all traffic, including DNS, from getting through.
[Android Apps and Games] airjoe:
hi,

I can successfully connected. But I cannot disconnect VPN afterward. I need to disconnect HSDPA then it can disconnect. Can it be fixed?
[Android Apps and Games] Html5Clouds:
in the next version (it will be release in a few days) i use other method to disconnect from the pptp...until then u can try to install busybox:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox

thankx.
[Android Apps and Games] cmstlist:
I hope you'll be able to figure out what's wrong with PPTP over HSPA too.
[Android Apps and Games] cmstlist:
Just got the latest update from Google Play. Now it's even worse over HSPA - it just tells me the connection is down. Then after exiting the app, if I try and open it again, the app just freezes and won't work again until I reboot.

Update: ok, now with some difficulty I was able to make it attempt to connect over HSPA. Still unable to get any data flowing when connected through your app on HSPA. Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to debug.
[Android Apps and Games] B1ny:

I have the same problem as ahmedsalah83 reported above.

I receive in the logs "log: this system lacks kernel support for ppp...". Has anyone been able to resolve this?

[Android Apps and Games] itzmechoco:
Upgrading The Version Might Help

I was having the same issue (PPTP connection is down) like most of you had. Finally,

I managed to make it work by upgrading the version from 1.7.4 to 1.8.5

, I made no changes but just upgrading it.

Hope this helps.
[Android Apps and Games] ahmedsalah83:
version 1.8.5 works
[Android Apps and Games] mjr1284:
I've been able to connect as well with 1.8.5, but it seems as though the connection for the VPN, even if its reported up, only truly lasts seconds (best case one minute). It seems like the app reports the connection as up, but no data is transferred and my lan is unreachable after the initial minute.

I' havent even reported it here because it may be phone related. The built in VPN can only keep a connection open for the same time frame, but the built in VPN does report it as disconnected.
[Android Apps and Games] zlamar:
On my phone there is a good and stabile vpn connection, if it disconnect, VpnRoot automatically reconnect.

But I have the other problem: in some cases I can connect to internet by browser, and perhaps be connected by Whatsapp and Viber, but not by Android Market and Facebook Messenger. After some time, maybe an hour or two, all works. Some other time, Market is working but browser can't connect to the internet. And so on.... Another example is Line (messaging app), sometimes it's working and sometimes not.

It seems to me that maybe some protocols (like http) are working and some don't.... :confused:

[Android Apps and Games] JustusIV:
Just found out about this application and verified it worked on my 4.4 device however i am after lollipop support. (N6/N9) When i try to connect i just get the PPTP connection is down or something. I peaked at the logs and it appears to complain about a kernel with PPP support. I tried a few different kernels with no luck.

Anyone else have any luck? is the developer planning on support for lollipop?

Thanks for your time.

Really working nicely .. thanks!

One rather cosmetic thing I noticed is that when you edit settings e.g. for server 2 and leave the configuration window server 1 is selected for a short period in time before it changes back to server 2.

One time this happend I edited server 1 settings by accident due to this.

Maybe you want to look into this.

[Android Apps and Games] Kasimodo:
hello,

Because VPN with PPTP and MPPE Encryption doesn't seem to work on ICS (TF101G with Megatron 1.0.4 Rom), I've tried your apps (free version).

The first time I've installed it worked perfectly.

After one reboot It doesn't work anymore... even if I uninstall and re-install.

When i launch the app, VPN seems to start automtically and can't be stopped.

It shows more than 15 hours of connection.. .but.. i've just started the app (that doesn't work).

It connects even if there is no HOST/Username/password.... and can't be stopped!! except by killing app.

I've backup up my fist config.. .and so... load backup. Now info are stocked and displayed, and VPNRoot says "connected to....." but it's not connected!!

Any idea?

Best regards
[Android Apps and Games] Html5Clouds:
Hi,

Thankx for reporting this bugs.

I made some modification when the application starts.

I attach a new version here. Test this version and tell me if is working.

Thankx
[Android Apps and Games] Kasimodo:
Thank you for your quick reply.

I've juste tried this version it's the same.... i mean same bug.

I've uninstalled 1.5.3 then rebooted and installed 1.5.4. Then tried and it seemed ok.

I mean that app didn't connect itself. My firewall allowing this app.

I haven't configured anything, just quit app and reboot the tablet TF101G.

After reboot, I've launched the app to use it really but this time, i've blocked connections for VPNRoot via Droidwall (to see what will happen), the app has tried to connect although there is not any parameters to connect(?) Strange not?

So i've allowed communications and tried again but same thing. Not possible to use and not possible to stop by pressing Disconnect button (you forgot one "n" in the word ;) )

As if your app tried to do something the first time she starts and, if she can't do it, she can't work anymore.... or ..... ??????
[Android Apps and Games] Html5Clouds:
new version 1.5.5

Kasimodo can you try the version (1.5.5)

thankx
[Android Apps and Games] Kasimodo:
Ok, just a little issue.

I send you a pm with my email for testing next release(s).

Well, I've tried with wifi, all is ok. I can connect and disconnect as I want.

I've tried with 3G....tada.... it works... :) .... but I can't disconnect VPN. When I press the Disconnect button, nothing happens. VPNRoot stay connected, and the only way to stop it is to stop 3G connection (unless I kill the app of course).

But this one works with 3G, next will be perfect.

Best thanks and best regards

edit: when I enable wifi without disabling 3G, the app autodisconnect.
