No you execute this Command on the device in a rootshell.

Or this is what you need to execute when you are on the PC and the device runs in the Android System. If you are in the Recovery you don't need the su -c.

adb push bootloader.raw /sdcard #pushes the file from your PC to the internal sdcard
adb shell "su -c dd if=/sdcard/bootloader.raw of=/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/USP" #writes the file to the staging partition

Well, your emmc needs to be repartitioned. You need the partion-table to re-format the whole emmc. Do you now what file-system you had on your device example if it was ext2 or ext3 ext4 fat32 or f2fs?

Of-course you don't have the blobs.bin backup earlier before missing around?

Well, there are no method to restore, I think because of the integrity when owners encrypting their devices so it has to be impossible to change bootloader, eliminating various intrusion-hacks.

There most likely is but Loki was retired.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Radukk:
ATT S4; First major update MF3 blocked all exploits including loki. And the following updates prevent further attempts like bootstrap. Only dev activities on ATT S4 forum is for people who bought phone for first few months (before MF3 preloaded) and didn't update to MF3 by freezing apks. Very few left and almost dead like ours. And they even cannot flash official 4.3 because of incapability of radio/bootloader. And all of this happened before ATT Note3 comes out. So basically no way.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scootley:
I was previously using a stock rooted Nexus 4 (with 4.3) with "OpenVPN Connect" (net.openvpn.openvpn) and android built-in wifi tethering to tunnel tethered clients through the OpenVPN connection. This required some iptables modifications but worked fine.

With a stock rooted Nexus 5 (with 4.4.0) and OpenVPN Connect 1.1.12, this stopped working and that was really annoying.

Part of the issue was the one described here

But it was more complicated. It seems that there are routing table issues that I had to research a bunch.

Here are the iptables commands that I already had to run even on the Nexus 4 (with 4.3), which I got from here

iptables -t filter -F FORWARD
iptables -t nat -F POSTROUTING
iptables -t filter -I FORWARD -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE

These (above) are somewhat liberal firewall rules that you may what to refine for more security.

But below are additional routing entries that I needed to add specifically for the Nexus 5 (with 4.4.0). They force tethered clients to route through the VPN, unless their traffic is a broadcast or designated for the wifi LAN. Those exceptions are required for DHCP to work on the tethered client. They assume the tethered LAN is 192.168.43.XYZ and the OpenVPN interface is tun0.

ip rule add from 192.168.43.0/24 lookup 61
ip route add default dev tun0 scope link table 61
ip route add 192.168.43.0/24 dev wlan0 scope link table 61
ip route add broadcast 255.255.255.255 dev wlan0 scope link table 61

This seems to all work best if I start OpenVPN after activating tethering, not before.

I'm not entirely clear whether this is a result of some change/bug in KitKat, or an incompatibility in "OpenVPN Connect", or both. I wonder if it would work ok with other OpenVPN clients like "OpenVPN for Android" (de.blinkt.openvpn)

Other Notes:

* Server is OpenVPN 2.3.2

* Server has this line set in its config:

push "redirect-gateway autolocal def1"

OK, so I'm having a bit of trouble understanding and implementing the fix for my nexus 5. I've already got WiFi tethering working through the sqlite db fix but now I can't get my connection to work when my VPN (PIA official app) is broadcasting. These commands you're sending, are they done on the phone terminal or computer and is that EXACTLY how theyre being entered. For rules in red where would I find the IP I would use. Thanks guys Id really appreciate any help given.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Total_Lag:
Worked!

Thanks scootley! These worked me on 4.3. I activated my hotspot before OpenVPN, but I used

iptables --flush

first before entering your commands. Seems to help. My OpenVPN server config also has the following in addition to push redirect:

push "dhcp-option DNS 8.8.8.8"
push "dhcp-option DNS 8.8.4.4"
push "redirect-gateway autolocal def1"

These commands are entered on the phone. You can download Terminal Emulator or something similar through the app store.

First make sure you're connect to your hotspot from your computer. Next, let's find your local IP address. Here are the instructions for Windows:

Click on the Start menu and type cmd. When you see the cmd applications in Start menu panel, click it or just press enter.

A command line window will open. Type ipconfig and press enter.

You'll see a bunch of information, but the line you want to look for is "IPv4 Address." The number across from that text is your local IP address.

Here's how to do the same thing on a Mac:

Open System Preferences (via the Apple menu at the top lefthand corner of your screen).

When System Preferences opens, click on the icon labeled Network.

You should see a few options on the left with labels like Wi-Fi, Ethernet, Bluetooth, etc. The ones with green dots have IP addresses assigned to them. Click the one on top (if it isn't already selected) and look to the right. There should be a sentence that reads something like "Wi-Fi is connected to Chocolate and has the IP address 192.168.1.102." The number at the end of that sentence is your local IP address.

Thanks for this thread, I've nearly got tethering working through Private Internet Access/Open VPN.

ip route add 192.168.43.0/24 dev wlan0 scope link table 61
ip route add broadcast 255.255.255.255 dev wlan0 scope link table 61

i get an error "RTNETLINK answers: File exists"

I tethered up while connected to the VPN and could ping out to external IP addresses but no DNS resolution. So in my windows settings I manually specified DNS settings and can now browse the web through the VPN on my Galaxy s4!

But how do I fix the DNS issue? I want the clients that connect to pick up the DNS settings that actually work, without having to manually specify.

after getting the details entered into open vpn and importing the cert file all is good untill I go to connect [see attachment]

any suggestions on how to proceed?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Total_Lag:
1) RTNETLINK answers: File exists

This just means you already ran the command before during this reboot session and it's saved into the route table. If you restart your phone, and run the commands again, it will go through first time, but repeated commands will yield same error. Should be normal. Table clears on reboot.

2) Please see the thread at http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/help/solved-wifi-hotspot-issue-samsung-t1689242

It seems like in order for OpenVPN DNS push to work, you have to change your APN settings on your phone to have it automatically register and push out to your other devices. I had the same problem and came across this during a search.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prakalejas:
It seems to work once, but when Data connection is lost or openvpn reconnects, wifi tathering stops working, need to do everything again (switch all off, connect to 3G, vpn, create wifi hotspot and apply fix script). And somehow DNS doesn't work. Tryed on Galaxy S5, LG L70, both on 4.4.2

But in general, this workaround is working, just needs a little bit of tweaking :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iunlock:
This is fantastic.

For those of you using VPN on your phone as well, does it seem to stay connected? My VPN (OpenVPN) was flawless on 4.3 ... I mean smooth as ice with no disconnects.

When I upgraded to Kitkat, I wanted to immediately hide in a hole from embarrassment. Only after trying to connect and stay connected did I start to read around to check what the heck was going on. Biggest mistake ever. But then again, who would have thought right? I mean come on...who would have thought it would make using VPN a nightmare after an update that's suppose to be improved? Whatever...

Anyhow, lesson learned. Now I'm waiting desperately for someone to figure out how to downgrade from 4.4 back to 4.3 and/or to find a patch/fix for this issue so we don't have to run a script on every boot or reset.

At the end of the day, at least there is a solution thanks to folks like you. Kudos to the OP and everyone else who has contributed to the work around...for the time being lets hope...

:good:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grogargh:
For anyone interested, I played with the commands to have it work over a USB tether instead of Wifi. Why? Because my battery life stinks and this way my phone is charging also. What the heck. works great.

The only change was in the two spots where it has "wlan0" change them to "usb0". Another change was that the subnet of the USB connection is 192.168.42.0/24 (versus 192.168.43.0/24 on wifi). I get it working in this order:

1) reboot phone (to make sure to other lingering route tables are wiped out

2) turn off wifi

3) establish VPN connection

4) start USB tethering (and have your phone usb connected to your computer

5) After eveything is hooked up, open a terminal window, make sure you have superuser access (su) and execute the commands below. I just have them saved in a text file on my phone's sd card, copy them and just paste them all at once into the terminal window. Haven't figured out how to get this to run automatically using init.d (yet - assuming you can because upon phone reboot, I have to assuming that it will spit out errors because the tun0 and usb0 devices will not exist!)

iptables -t filter -F FORWARD

iptables -t nat -F POSTROUTING

iptables -t filter -I FORWARD -j ACCEPT

iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE

ip rule add from 192.168.42.0/24 lookup 61

ip route add default dev tun0 scope link table 61
