Hope some one can help with this - I am sure I've seen posts on the subject but can't seem to find them

Set up a PPTP VPN connection to use the wifi connection, all advanced setting set to enable this (same settings work on and ipaq with 2003se)

what happens is the xda connects to the vpn server receives an ip address and then drops

the logging on the server shows no errors

I have spoken to O2 who recognised this as a known issue but had no timescale for a fix/workaround

I have tried different radio versions and different OEM's roms to no avail

I suspect either the hardware or the WiFi driver but I'm no expert on pocket pc stuff

Would be grateful for a share of thoughts or even fixes on this subject

as this was the primary reason I bought six of them

:cry:
[Networking] brightsparc:
Have tried latest o2 rom - issued by o2 today

doesn't fix the wifi/vpn problem and doesn't upgrade the radio either

another half hearted effort by o2 :twisted:
[Networking] mulhaus:
I realise that this is no consolation but I have also had this problem trying to connect the WM3 VPN client. You seemed to have got a bit further by getting an IP addr from your VPN server. Another point to note is that if you try to connect to your VPN server via GSM (instead of WiFi),

the connection session goes a little further (if you check thru the server logs) but again, in my case, it ends up with a "VPN server problem, check your username and password...".

Our VPN server happens to be a PIX firewall, can I ask which VPN server are you using ? :x
[Networking] brightsparc:
VPN

We are using a simple Windows server VPN PPTP for the purposes of testing - it works fine over GPRS just not wifi

I have had an email from O2 confirming that they are aware of the problem - but the last rom update is the last one they are going to issue

and they have no plans to fix the problem

I will be taking this further with O2 and will let you know the result

in this forum - but I don't hold out much hope
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] RTbar:
A little info to preface my question: my phone is rooted, still on MDL, and i'm running Slimbean, with TWRP as my recovery.

I looked at all the tutorials for running TriangleAway and how to unroot, but there is one thing i need clarification on before I pull the trigger. TriangleAway requires you to be both rooted and on a STOCK kernel and recovery before running it, but I have no clue how to return my kernel and recovery. How would I go about this?

Do I need to flash a stock MDL rom first, run TriangleAway, and then follow the unrooting process (via Odin)? Would this automatically reset my recovery and kernel, or is another step needed? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] RTbar:
I still haven't figured this out yet, does anyone know which rom/kernel/recovery to use?

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] microang:
Hi,

I while ago I backed up my nexus 7's data partition as it was no longer booting and expected to be able to extract it and gain access to some data I needed. I do this on my HTC sensation using 4EXT recovery which outputs a zip but TWRP has given me .win000/1/2 files. I've read somewhere they are tar files but I have no idea how to rename them to make them able to be extracted using archive apps. I've attached a screenshot of the files if this helps.

Thanks in advance for any help.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GedBlake:
Hi, microang...

Not quite sure what kind of data you're looking to retrieve, but have you investigated

Nandroid Manager

?

This app allows you to examine, and selectively extract stuff from Nandroid backups, whether they be created by TWRP or CWM.

I used it myself quite recently to pull a 'build.prop' file for somebody here on XDA.

Needlessly to say, because this is an Android app, the Nandroid backup would first have to be copied over to some Android device.

With regards to using something like Windows... looking through my Nandroids backed up on my Windows laptop, I note that, like yourself, I also have several incidences where the data partition has been broken up into multiple archives, with names like data.ext4.win000 and data.ext4.win001.

Upon appending a .tar extension to these files, so thus, for example, data.ext4.win001 becomes data.ext4.win001.tar... and some of these files will open, and some will not... but that just maybe because I'm using old Windows archive software (jZip). I guess I need to update my Windows zip archive software:(.

Anyway... the best I can suggest is Nandroid Manager... but as mentioned, the Nandroid backup in question would first have to be copied over to some Android device - and you do need root, but as far as I know, you don't need TWRP/CWM installed. You can then explore the Nandroid and extract stuff.

Hope this helps.

Rgrds,

Ged.

I factory wipe / wiped cache and everything, still it didn't work. I flashed a ton of new 4.3 roms like the new aokp, slim bean 4.3 , PA 3.99 , and still the camera didnt work..I dont know what else to do. I'm not super experienced so bear with me, please help me out.

try restoring your stock back up or flash the stock Rom and root again
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Agent:
Restore a completely 100% stock ROM. If it works, then there's a problem with the ROMs your trying to flash. If it does not work then you have a hardware issue.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MechanicalMecca:
cheifsfan645: Ive never learned about flashing with kies but try searching for "flashing stock rom with odin" This is the method I use and there is no serial numbers or any info needed. Make sure you use the correct image, it has to be for your carrier and phone or you could end up with troubles, even in some cases, bricking your phone. An even more foolproof method is to use "Samsung Toolbox" because it comes with detailed instructions and is a mostly automated process. I hope I may have pointed you in a helpfull direction, Im still new to this stuff.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Agent:
Whoa, I've never heard of that one. I'm assuming you flashed a stock odin image? Maybe try to download the stock image from another source and see if that helps. I've never had that happen to me before.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sparker366:
What recovery are you using? If its TWRP make sure you have the latest. If its not then make sure you update to the latest. I got a replacement device. Rooted it and Rom'd it and my camera broke just like you are describing. I want back to full stock and camera worked. I then rooted it and camera worked. I then talked with friend and he advised me to flash the newest TWRP. I did and my camera came back.

Download TWRP from here http://techerrata.com/get/twrp2/d2att/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-d2att.tar

Download odin from here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2189539

Install odin and run it. Reboot the phone to download mode make sure you have usb debugging checked in settings. Then check the PDA box and browse to that tar file and load it and then hit start it will flash your phone will reboot and the camera should be working.

Am unable to get any network. Can anyone please help me as to how to go around around this IMEI error message. Thank you
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
restock. Your EFS partition is likely corrupted.

In theory, flashing stock ROM should get your EFS back.

If so, then backup the /EFS content, and you can upgrade to CM10.1 again.

If the IMEI is still bad at that point, you can manually restore the EFS using your backup copy.

Thanks.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aooga:
Nope. Not on Sense. At least not on 4.1. I think if you are on a 4.2.2 sense rom, then it might be possible, but I'm not sure as I'm running a google edition rom.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lachdanan:
Thanks I was told that it was possible because people said they are able to change the icons in the lockscreen.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aooga:
They can change the apps, not the icons. Again, I'm not sure exactly how it works for 4.2.2 +. Sense will always use sense icons on the lockscreen.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lachdanan:
Thanks probably 4.1? Actually I don't know how to check? Is 4.2 out? I haven't installed anything.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DualJoe:
Hallo,

Android 4.x allows to encrypt the phone. I guess it's been done by ecryptfs. How can i use ecryptfs to manually encrypt a single folder? I've tried 'mount -t ecryptfs /sdcard/test /sdcard/test' how it's been usually initialized but on Android/CM10.2 it just throws an 'invalid argument'.

Edit: 'dmesg' throws 'Error parsing options; rc = [-22]'. I've found references on the web that this is because there is only the kernel part implemented and it needs the userspace tools as well (ecryptfs-utils). But how does Android/CM do it then to encrypt the whole phone?

Edit2: Looks like its not done by ecryptfs but dm-crypt via vold.

So, i guess its not possible at the moment to use that on single folders via shell...
