[Networking] Jamz:
Your GPRS connection will be subject to some form of NAT (Network Adress Translation) through your provider. VPNs don't get along well with NAT as the firewall doing the address translation modifies the packet header after it has had it's hash value calculated by the client (in this case your PDA). The receiving firewall will reject the packet as the hash values for the (now modified) packet don't match.

UDP encapsulation gets around this by encapsulating the encrypted and authenticated (secure) packet in a UDP packet which will be happily modified by the NAT'ing firewall. The receiving firewall will decapsulate(is that even a word?) the UDP packet and process secure packet inside as normal.

Thanks a lot Jamz for the thorough detailed info. I appreciate it.

So what's the fix? I tried several other VPNs and was unable to access them as well.. I can't just call all these providers and make some strange requests for a 'one guy with a pda2k and a gprs connection' that wants them to change their VPNs, enabling or disabling protocols or port.

Any other solution?
[Networking] d-o-h!:
Are you sure you're using the built-in VPN client in Windows, and not something like a Cisco VPN client?

You could try something like the Movian VPN client (not sure this is still made). I've used this previously with a Cisco VPN and it is fully configurable to handle multiple VPN types.
[Networking] rascom:
I've got a similar problem. Am trying to set up a temporary GPRS connection into my work LAN (I work for myself but 2nd child due shortly so want to be able to connect in from home for a couple of weeks only). I've got MS Win2000 Server set up to accept incoming VPN connections and it works fine on a dial-up connection but refuses to authenticate my username/pasword whenever I try to get the GPRS working.

As it's only going to be used for a short period of time, I'm loathe to spend out on any specific hardware/software but if anyone's got any suggestions, I'd be grateful.

If it helps, the LAN is behind a Netgear DG834GT ADSL modem/router/firewall and VPN PPTP and IPSEC are allowing in and out on it. The server is on a static IP address in the range 192.168.99.x.
[Networking] Beridor:
GPRS Connections and VPN

With O2 you have to aks for VON connectivity to be enabled and connect to vpn.o2.co.uk instead of mobile.o2.co.uk. (by the way you can't access the web whilst connected to the vpn.o2.co.uk AP)

I suspect that most providers have simalair requirements

Hi

I dnt knw if its the right place if not am sorry

But i have this query

I found this unlocked phone of Uk for sale in india

"Sony xperia P"

They are selling it under 1 yr seller warranty

My question is

1-If i buy the will i be able to update it the normal way

or i have to download the firmware of specific carrier and update the firmware

2-If i update by odin will i lose the unlocked status.

Need a quick reply since i have to make decision quickly

Advance thanks.....
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ben Ling:
You can update with Sony PC Companion or firmware to flash.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Demigod008:
but will the pc companion give me indian or the original country firware

and if i flash it which one should i download indian or the original one to which it belonged

For innstance if phone was locked to at & t and now it is used in india which firware should i download indian jelly bean or at&t jelly bean to flash it
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ben Ling:
Whatever you like...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Demigod008:
will it be locked again or not

n some complain dat pc companion in india dosent give latest firmware for other country
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ben Ling:
what do you mean by locked again?

and the latest firmware for Xperia P was 6.2.A.0.400
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Demigod008:
I meant take an example that phone was locked to at&t and now its unlocked and used in india

so pc companion will give the update which is for indian mobiles

will not that conflict with the phone since it would be running at&t based software

And will that cause my phone to be locked again to at&t

n i read some where pc companion not detecting update and giving message as "Phone is up to date"

and really thanks to have patience and reply to my questions i'll try n hit the thnks button as many times i can
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ben Ling:
if your phone unlocked already then i think it won't be relock,just flash the india firmware...

MT6577 to be more and more Popular, VARIOUS BRANDs have been released by VARIOUS VENDORs all over the world. Most of them are Clone Phone version of Big International Brand. From the little research, I have found that Zyrex OneScribe ZA-985 is IDENTIC DEVICE with KATA - i1.

ZA-985 sold in Indonesia Only and KATA i1 supposed sold in Phillipine only. Rooting method for MT6577 proved valid for almost ALL BRANDS based on MT6577 but NOT EVERY ROM SAFE TO EXCHANGE AMONG MT6577 DEVICES.

Please Check if you have :

MT6577 based device, 1 Ghz Dual Core CPU, 1 GB RAM, PowerVR SGX531 GPU, 4.5-inch qHD (960×540) IPS display (245ppi), Dual GSM Sim Feature, Physically has THREE "Hardware Button", 8 MP Rear Camera, 1.3 MP Front Camera, MT6566 Wifi chipset. I believed you have identic device with Zyrex OneScribe ZA-985 and KATA-i1 and safely flash below 4.1.2 JB ROM.

Prepare Your Device

If your device is in stock ROM, Gain Root and Back Up stock rom for revival matters, follow THIS GUIDE or any available Guides on the NET. Build your own CWR or TWRP by following THIS GUDE, Flash built CWR / TWRP into your device, follow THIS GUIDE

DOWNLOAD JB 4.1.2 ZA985 FOR MT6577 BASED DEVICE

MIRROR GOOGLE DRIVE

Flash via CWR / TWRP ... enjoy !!

ABOUT THE ROM

Jelly bean 4.1.2

Beautiful Emotion-UI with great Transitions

deodexed

This ROM Known safe to flash into:

Zyrex OneScribe ZA-985

KATA - i1

PLS CHECK FOR HUAWEI ASCEND U8836D / G 500

Jelly Bean 4.1.1 for ZA 985 ported from ZTE V970

Jelly Bean 4.1.2 for ZA 985 ported from Acer liquid E-1
[Miscellaneous Android Development] verntechguy:
I've been using the ported ZTE V970 JB ROM to my Kata i1. It works fine except the front camera which is just on VGA (should be 1.3MP) and the temperature sensor which doesn't work. Those that are not working is not really a big deal. But if you guys can help me on making it work then it would be appreciated. Thanks!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] x1123:
I think the rom is rooted. Please try to replace the file in /system/lib/hw/camera.default.so with one on your device with similar android version of ROM. If you don't have one ... try with ICS libs. Push via adb
[Miscellaneous Android Development] verntechguy:
Will try the camera tomorrow. How about the battery temperature sensor? What file do I need to get? Thanks!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] x1123:
I'm not so sure, but I think there is /system/lib/hw/sensors.default.so ... this sensor AFAIK, is to control Soc Cemera . This probably also responsible for battery temperature sensor. in file also exist power.default.so we need to search info for their details jobs :D I have MTK6577 data sheet. I will take a look once I have time and come back
[Miscellaneous Android Development] verntechguy:
Both battery temperature doesn't work using ZA985 and V970 JB ROM on Kata i1. Tried copying the gps libraries from V970 to ZA985 but they use different modules. V970 uses mt6628 which is compatible with i1 while ZA985 uses mt6620. Using the i1 ICS libraries for camera and sensor won't work on the V970 ROM as it will be stuck on boot animation.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] x1123:
Camera :I think u need /system/lib/libcamera.so and /system/lib/liboemcamera.so from original device, since this is proprietary and device specific.

ZA-985 itself Not available yet a custom rom. I was ported from Kata -i1...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] verntechguy:
If the JB ROM for ZA985 was ported from Kata i1, why is it that the front cam is only VGA wherein it should be 1.3mp and the battery temperature doesn't work. And as far as I know there's no official JB ROM for Kata i1 yet so that custom ROM is ported from another but not Kata i1.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] x1123:
Kata - i1 has JB Custom ROM, I got from Piliphino Guys ...but I forgot the forums. Just search. if you can NOT find. I will upload for you. But it is NOT MY ROM ... someone named YON or something. Please drop message here. I will upload and let you know the links. After you downloading, I should delete I think. Unless the rom maker give permissions.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] verntechguy:
I believe those were ported ROMs but not official. There's no official JB ROM yet announced. I think it would be better if you message me the links instead of posting here. Thanks!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] verntechguy:
I was able to download and flash the yonip custom rom for i1. However the gps works there but not on your ported rom to ZA985. Everything seems the same with the V970 ported rom but I feel the V970 is much smoother in terms of performance.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] x1123:
I think u need to use library from your phone and flash via adb.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] FcukBloat:
hi guys, I really searched a lot on the web but couldn't find the answer to my question..

I was thinking to buy this phone, and as I love cm (10.1), I was looking if this phone is well supported.. it seems so, in fact I see on cm website xperia t has stable cm10 and almost stable cm10.1.. (RC4)

http://www.get.cm/?device=mint&type=RC

what I couldn't find anywhere is what is still not working... just to be sure if I buy the phone I won't have big troubles or miss some important things I often use.. only thing I could find on the web about known problems on xperia t + cm is this from codeworks website:

"The next round of nightly builds will bring support for the Xperia T, V, Z and ZL.

Unofficial builds are around for some time via Freexperia, but now these devices are officially supported.

Everything seems to be working except video recording (little audio issue) and hdmi out.

Both issues should be fixed soon."

so only problems seemed audio in video recording and hdmi, but this info is dated 13/Apr, so I don't know if these problems have been fixed already or not.. can you please help? where could I look to see the current pending problems on xperia t running cm10.1?

thanks a lot in advance guys!

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] FcukBloat:
thanks for the reply, I did see those thread.. but they are related to FreeXperia Project, while I am speaking of official cm10.1.. and I thought they were two different things!

Also, the sentence by codeworkx (I'm attaching below again) seemed to confirm that!

"Unofficial builds are around for some time via Freexperia, but now these devices are officially supported."

so now is not so clear to me.. to answer my doubts (pending issues on xperia t running official cm10.1) should I write on the FXP thread or somewhere else?

thanks anyway bye!

Hi all,

i am desperatly trying to fix a gnex refusing to erase/format/write userdata partition (tried odin and fastboot)

i finally managed to get a recovery to work (twrp), so this allows me to connect with adb.

i can now get the partitions:

ls -l /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 Jan 1 20:49 xloader -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p1

then tried to check for error on userdata

~ # e2fsck -c /dev/block/mmcblk0p12
e2fsck 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)
e2fsck: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to open /dev/block/mmcblk0p12
Could this be a zero-length partition?

this seems strange... but partition size seems not null:

~ # cat /proc/partitions

179 0 15388672 mmcblk0

179 16 512 mmcblk0boot1

beside, there is really not much in the fstab, is this normal ?

~ # cat /etc/fstab
/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 /system ext4 rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p11 /cache ext4 rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /efs ext4 rw

shouldn't it mount the userdata paritition too ?

anyway, if someone with a working gnex could check against the same commands, this would help me big time !

Try to unmount the partitions then run 'e2fsck'.

these are the radio, efs and x-loader.. why are you trying to mess with them?

in fact for me mount only show the first 5 entries, not /data and followings.

pls, in twrp log, i get:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
mate, i think your emmc fried or has bad blocks or something. Or your partition table is all screwed up. The fact parted can't read it (the device should be using GPT, i believe) also is not a good sign, right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] julienvt:
seems like it... i'll try to see if i can try to format.

other than that, it requires to swap the motherboard, right ?
