Hi there,

I have a PPC6600 (similar to the BlueAngel). When the processes for ActiveSync are not running on my computer and I have the phone connected via USB (to charge), the hardware constantly connects and disconnects like I was plugging it in and unplugging it. It incessently makes the windoes hardware plug in, hardware unplug noises. What gives?

Thanks

Hello.

Thanks for your review.

It's not mentioned ,but it's compatible with microSDXC , it work with my SanDisk Ultra 64 Go UHS-I SDSDQUA-064G-U46A :good:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] dope649:
Hi, nice review

I have a question :

What transfer speeds do you get when copying from a sd-card to a USB connected device? My wd02 takes about 10 min to copy 1 Gb...

Thanks for answering
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] cookiemonster79:
I am no longer using a standard firmware (don't ask lol) so it really wouldn't be good for me to compare times. Are you doing the internal microSD to USB? Should be quick (in theory) since it is all on the same device.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] steve8x8:
As the latest (2.000.014) fw seems to have broken some things (compared to 2.000.002 which was preinstalled), I'm asking... :p Want to share something mouth-watering?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] cookiemonster79:
Ah nothing too interesting, I think I had a copy of the 2.000.014 before it was released. What broke on it for you?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] steve8x8:
2.000.014 apparently preserved passwords set on 2.000.002 but I had to hard reset the device. After that, I found that the "passwd" command would modify /etc/shadow while the "telnetd" would continue using /etc/passwd contents. Bad busybox?

Trying to get my hands on the GPL release now (if such a thing exists).

Shouldn't there be a .030 (for the WD01 there was a .014 too before)? How to get older fw versions?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] cookiemonster79:
I wish they did a changelog for updates, I will see if I have an older copy somewhere on one of my drives but other than that I don't know how to get them.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] steve8x8:
I'll try to get in touch with them (Twitter? E-mail?) to get access to older FW and GPL sources. Over-optimistic, perhaps.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] cookiemonster79:
What are you trying to get from the old one? Just curious. I haven't tested the new one much is it broken?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] steve8x8:
As setting the root password did work with the old FW, and I first took it over to the new one successfully (only to lose it to a factory reset), there clearly must be a difference. I know I cannot easily replace the new busybox with the old one while keeping the rest of the FW, but having the option to downgrade (for science) is somewhat appealing.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] _MetalHead_:
Whoa! This thing is super neat! Thanks for the heads up and review!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] TesseractE:
Few Questions...

I just got one of these and am trying to bend it to my whims. Running into a few problems, though...

1) I can't change the device's IP address to something in the 192.168.0.xxx range. If it could be done, this would ease the issue you mentioned of it not acting as a 'true' router, since it would at least be issuing IP Addresses on the right subnet as the rest of my network. I tried changing the DHCP settings, but that resulted in a hard reset since it wouldn't let me also change the IP address.

2) I'm not sure if this is specific to Xperia devices or not, but in the Storage settings, there's a feature for 'Remote Share' that basically mounts a network share as a folder in the Android file system, so it can be treated as 'local'. I've not had any luck setting the FileHub to play nice with this as of yet. It'd be great to be able to shift my music collection to the FileHub and still have it playable in the usual music players.

3) Most of the time I'm using this on-the-go. How can I maintain my LTE data connection while simultaneously connecting to the FileHub via WiFi?

4) You mentioned not using stock firmware... Where can I find other options? The built-in stuff is servicable, but limited. Might even remedy the IP Address config issue.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] steve8x8:
While I probably cannot answer your questions, I have another one myself: is there a way to add a USB 3G stick to make the device aware of mobile data networks? (I haven't found any confirmation it could, only a single hint that the WD01 wasn't able - with an older fw.)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] TesseractE:
I just tried a 3G/4G stick on my Filehub, and while it powered up and appared to obtain a signal, there's really no way for the FileHub to know it's there or what to do with it. Good Idea, though... That'd be a great feature for them to add in the future!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] steve8x8:
Before connecting, run "lsusb" and "lsmod" as root. Repeat after having connected the USB device. The USB id may give us an idea about what will be needed; I'd not expect support for 3G devices in the kernel, and we might need GPL code from RAV before we can modify the system accordingly.

I vaguely remember a report of attempts to run OpenWRT on the device, but cannot find it anymore. (Was it real at all?)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] dray:
Nice review. I just purchased this handy little device and put it through some heavy usage for testing and it works great. Only thing I cannot figure out is how to update the firmware or if there even is an update for the firmware. I am currently running on ver 2.000.002. Could anyone else confirm if this is the latest and if not how to update it? TIA
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] steve8x8:
I have 2.000.014 on my WD02 (installed from a FW file d/l'd from RAV), but haven't seen any advantage. If I had access to a flashable 2.000.002 firmware I'd certainly go back!

Note that in the WD01 thread, someone reported a .030 (?) FW that even broke telnet access. RAV is trying to close holes that have been used to improve the device, it seems.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] cookiemonster79:
1) If the wifi network you are connecting the filehub to is on the 192.168.0.xx range then your internal network probably can't be the same because basically the filehub would have two networks on two interfaces.

2) I think that is an Xperia setting I don't recall seeing it on my devices.

3) As far as I know you can't since putting it on wifi makes it use that for network connectivity.

4) Best you can do is try to find the older firmware which you can actually telnet to and make config changes on if you know how.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] steve8x8:
Re older FW: Can someone try and get RAV to publish all of their FW releases, *plus* the overdue GPL pack they have to provide?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] cookiemonster79:
What do you mean GPL pack? I have one of the older FWs.

RP-WD03

Guess who has a RP-WD03 ? This guy!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] steve8x8:
It might be a bit early for congratulations - how does this device compare to the 01 and 02? Is there still telnet access, does the well-know root password work, can the device be customized (filehub-config.git)? Is there a proper firewall on the WAN side? Questions...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] cookiemonster79:
I haven't dived into testing yet. It now uses a regular SD card ( instead of microSD ) and can show battery life using 4 LEDs so you actually have an idea of how much life is left.

The telnet/root stuff is kinda a mixed bag. It is good for geeks who want to tinker, but bad for the average user since it basically makes them vulnerable.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] steve8x8:
Sounds a lot like the original WD01.

The problem is that the WD01/02 came with a firmware that actually made them vulnerable (e.g. by not firewalling them on the WAN side), and a root password that will wave at you from the first Google search page - and that a modification was necessary to patch these holes. If there's no telnet this becomes more difficult, but there's still the SDcard trick.

Can you "nmap" your device from the wired side? If so, I'd like to know which ports are open.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] cookiemonster79:
Just to be fair, this is a review sample and they have already stated they will be making firmware changes (I think to close the ports) but here is what I found:

23 - Good old telnet

80 - HTTP

81 - Seems to also be HTTP

139 / 445 - NetBIOS related

5880 - Not sure, possibly something related to UPnPD ( UPNP audio? ports? .. not sure)

8200 / 8201 - DLNA related, I think it is running a program called MiniDLNA

I didn't do "Wired" side (it wasn't connected to Ethernet) but it was the "Internet" facing side not the internal 10.10.10.x network.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] steve8x8:
So this is to say that you're opening that gaping hole called root telnet to the world, with a password easily searchable?

I'm not impressed.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] cookiemonster79:
Correct, but they are updating the firmware to address it ( I believe they will close all ports or just telnet, not sure ) - from what I can tell, they did that on the WD02 also.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Sir_Brizz:
So as of a few days ago the 2.000.020 firmware is released. Does this close off telnet?

If so is there some SD card method to bring it back?

Also can someone upload previous firmware revisions so we can roll back? I can't find any old RP-WD02 old firmwares but I can find some for the WD01...

Is there any dinking with the firmware file? I took a look at it and it appears to have a script and a gz packed together in it. I don't know if it can be altered to keep telnet available or anything at this point.

Also seems OpenWRT has been working on hacking the device but their wiki page seems like it kind of died off...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Infernoken:
Hey, also have the RAVPower RP-WD03 and love it...

Do have a problem with this device not supporting exFAT, while the WD01/WD02 did support.

This means my camera's sd-card of 64GB cannot be used, as the default fileformat for this camera is exFAT.

Hopefully RAVPower still fixes this, as a competing device Kingstone MobileLite G2 has the same chipset (MTK MT7620N) and does support.

Already addressed to RAVPower and they claim to investigate this... Perhaps we all need to send a message towards RAVPower for them to fix this...

Regards...
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] steve8x8:
Does the WD03 come with support for USB Mobile Broadband?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] cookiemonster79:
You know that unit is vulnerable right now -- anyone from the "outside" can telnet into it. I personally am not using it until they patch the firmware.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] polaco1977:
Thats correct. I bought one of this just a few days and noticed that bug too. My Filehub is connect to my network over wifi. So if I want to have access to internet (provided by my wireles Linksys router) and at the same time have access to my files (connected an external HDD Western Digital MyBook 4TB), I have to switch MANUAL (Network Settings -> Internet) and manually config IP with the same range of my Linksys and, VERY IMPORTANT, the gateway MUST be the FileHubs IP.

Sorry for my awful English.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] tarvoke:
has anyone tried the latest firmwares? - 2.000.020 (May 24 2015. ... ex Mar 31, ex Feb 9, ex Jan 30 2015.) for wd02 and 2.000.016 (May 28 2015. ... ex May 18 2015.) for wd03. hilariously, the sh+binary installer for each contains the definition: TARGET_ARCH="arm" - although it doesn't seem to actually be used anywhere.

do the new firmwares remove telnet access and/or change the root passwd from the well-known default? if no one knows, I'd rather not try and just use the firewall.sh example from github. or maybe unpack the rootfs from the binary blob and look, if I get bored one day.

right now I just received a wd02 and wd03. both claim to be at 2.000.002. the initscripts are definitely somewhat different between them.

telnet on both LAN and WAN side works for root with the well-known pass, for both devices; and for 'admin' with the pass I reset via web UI. changed root password on both, and then ran

# /usr/sbin/etc_tools p

to persist.

EDIT: changed root password persists on wd02, but not on wd03. in fact, changing root password on wd03 doesn't even have an effect - this must be what others had mentioned about using /etc/passwd for some things, and /etc/shadow for others. (wd02 also has different information in shadow and passwd, but at least changing the root pass works.) /EDIT

wd03 already has /etc/init.d/swap which doesn't check /etc/firmware like the filehub-config.git script does. instead checks if SWAPPATH is set or not.

the swap.sh from github would simply overwrite wd03's /etc/init.d/swap, and contents of swap.sh look like it would work ok on wd03 anyway.

if there is a wd02 image and wd03 image with similar enough kernel versions, it should be possible to take texfat.ko from wd02 and load it on wd03. not that I care about exFAT personally, but.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] tarvoke:
updated wd03 to 2.000.016 - it reset all the wireless settings and some other stuff, but not the hostname or web passwords. doesn't seem much different. still can't set a new root password. still allows telnet from both lan and wan, with the well-known root pass.

updated wd02 to 2.000.020 - also reset all wireless config, but kept hostname, kept root password, kept web passwords. still allows telnet from both lan and wan - but will use as well as persist, new root pass if you set one. web UI updated to be the same as wd03.

EDIT2: after wd02 firmware update + reboot, telnetd was still running. but after next reboot, telnetd is not apparently running on any interface of wd02. would be nice to have older firmwares. blah. /EDIT2

EDIT3: I ended up calling /usr/sbin/telnetd& in /data/UsbDisk1/Volume1/EnterRouterMode.sh and it works again. no need for older firmware. /EDIT3

still have yet to try the github's firewall.sh and swap.sh, etc., on either of them.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] tarvoke:
successfully changed wd03 root password using script:

http://steve8x8.faehrwiese.selfhost.me/filehub-config/ChangeRootPassword.sh

from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=58323457&postcount=233

(basically it's copying the hash for root from shadow to passwd, which you could also just do by hand, but the script is nice to have)

NB: the script doesn't call '/usr/sbin/etc_tools p' - it leaves it for you to do, once you're satisifed the new pass is working correctly.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] steve8x8:
Nice to read that my script has been useful!

For the (rather frequent) case that the "selfhost" link is broken, or my little server is down, there's now a fork of the original git repository:

https://github.com/steve8x8/filehub-config

It's rather unmaintained, but it's supposed to simply be there.

Cheers, S

Edit: Um, yes, it doesn't make changes permanent. But it clearly says so in the script itself - which is readable, and one should actually read it (at least the first half) before running it. Bash scripting itself isn't black magic or rocket science :cool:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] SnowShoeLess:
I probably should start a new thread but since this is about the only discussion on this device on this forum...

I just got an RP-WD03. I have set up DLNA using the filehub plus app (running on a Win8 laptop) but when I click on a video it always wants to download the video file to the laptop. I want to be able to stream videos. What am I doing wrong? I tried this with both MP4 and MKV files and got the same result.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] steve8x8:

Hi, I have the WD03 and can't login to telnet. Isn't it possible anymore with the latest firmware?

If I'm not mistaken the latest FW doesn't run a telnetd automatically, but you might be able to start one using the SD card trick

I'm running a WD03 with firmware 2.000.016

I tried telnet and it works a admin but not as root

root and the known password automatically kicks me out. Doing a bit of investigating, I did a cat of /etc/passwd and I get this regarding root

root:$1$yikWMdhq$cIUPc1dKQYHkkKkiVpM/v/:0:0:root:/root:/sbin/nologin

So if I understand it right that nologin part is what automatically kicks me out. Don't think there is a way to hack around that but then I'm not a linux wizard :)

Hmm, calling /usr/sbin/telnetd& and with a space before the &

in /data/UsbDisk1/Volume1/EnterRouterMode.sh

Didn't work for me at all. Doing a port scan doesn't even show an open port. Any ideas?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] steve8x8:
Some debugging output would be nice. Can you add some "ps" writing to a file on the SD? It also might help to run the "telnetd &" in a "nohup" wrapper...

I have no means to test this, so please take it with a grain of salt or two.

---------- Post added at 08:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 AM ----------

You may sed this to something more helpful (in a script that's executed with root rights, of course) - my old firmware (copy on my laptop) had /bin/sh there.

IOW, adding a

sed -i '/^root/s~/sbin/nologin~/bin/sh~' /etc/passwd

to EnterRouterMode.sh should be sufficient. I cannot test this though :(
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] dzr:
On WD03 2.000.016

I did

nohup /usr/sbin/telnetd &

ps -aef > /data/UsbDisk1/Volume1/log.txt

ls -l /usr/sbin/telnetd >> /data/UsbDisk1/Volume1/log.txt

sync

No file was created. A couple of days ago, redirecting telnetd output created a 0 byte file.

BTW, if I update the script by editing the file mounted on the device, it doesn't save. I need to edit it on my pc and then copy the file over.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] deyavi:
Are you writing that file from windows? Try creating from Linux or, from windows, write just one line with the telnetd command and without any enter. If you are creating it from windows you might be introducing CR LF, instead just LF as linux does.

---------- Post added at 09:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 PM ----------

I've downloaded the latest firmware for WD03 and looks the same, and still executing that script if it exists:

if [ -e /data/UsbDisk1/Volume1/EnterRouterMode.sh ]; then
chmod 755 /data/UsbDisk1/Volume1/EnterRouterMode.sh
/data/UsbDisk1/Volume1/EnterRouterMode.sh
elif [ -e /data/UsbDisk2/Volume1/EnterRouterMode.sh ]; then
chmod 755 /data/UsbDisk2/Volume1/EnterRouterMode.sh
/data/UsbDisk2/Volume1/EnterRouterMode.sh
fi
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] techlifeweb:
This worked on my 03. I entered the command in EnterRouterMode.sh, put it on and SD card and put it in the device and I was then able to Telnet and log on as root. (Note: I was able to telnet before but just not as root).

I'll try some of the other scripts next. Anyone know where I can find rsync for embedded linux?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] dzr:
I thought I checked Unix mode, but I guess I didn't. It works now. I was also able to sed and get in as root. Thanks.

A couple more issues:

EnterRouterMode.sh* - even after I deleted the file, telnetd gets started upon bootup. How do I unpersist what was there? I never told it to persist.

Whether I update text files by vi-ing ssh-ed to the unit, or open the file remotely on my PC, it seems that it doesn't write immediately and I end up with corrupt files. I've seen some updates committed to file, but not all. I tried doing sync on the unix, after vi-ing... that by itself didn't seem to do it. I did a sync and waited a bit, seemed to do it. Any ideas?

Thanks

Recently got a WD02 and when bridging to my local network so I can still have internet access my download speed drops from 38 mbs to 2 mbs. What also seems odd to me is the filehub has to be on the same channel as my router or they can't communicate. Wouldn't that make it a repeater and not a bridge?

The above figures came from SpeedTest
