I managed to install and run OpenVPN for PPC on my S710 smartphone. I'm sure it will also work on other WM5/6 smartphones.

Here are the steps to install:

1. Make sure your device is unlocked, otherwise unlock it with Microsoft Security Manager

2. Unzip the attached .zip and copy the OpenVPN directory to \Storage Card\Program Files (you can choose another path but then you will have to modify two shortcuts in \Windows\Start Menu

3. Copy the Windows directory to \ (don't worry, it only adds two files in \Windows and two shortcuts in \Windows\Start Menu)

4. Copy the two registry files form the Registry directory to your device, e.g. to \My Documents and register them. To easily do that, I recommend Resco Registry editor)

To use OpenVPN you must of course have an OpenVPN server where you can connect to. Furthermore you need to create a config file and save it as "smartphone.ovpn" to \Storage Card\Program Files\OpenVPN\config

I have put there an example file which contains a line to write a log file "client.log" to \Storage Card\Program Files\OpenVPN\log. The log file helps you to debug any connection issues.

If you want to connect to your OpenVPN server, first fire up your Wifi or GPRS/Edge/UMTS. Now start the OpenVPN Connection manager, return to the Home screen and start the OpenVPN client by clicking on the white icon in your Start menu (sorry, I didn't bother to create or link it with a nice icon ...). The VPN connection will be established on top of your existing data connection. I noticed that it is sometimes necessary to tweak connection settings in the browser (toggle from Internet to Work or vice versa. It requires some experimenting to get the hang of it).

If you want to disconnect then click on OpenVPN Connection manager and select the VPN tab. In the bottom-right corner you can see just a little part of a button. Use the D-pad to select that button (the border line will become bold if you selected it) and click it. This will send a terminate signal to client and release the TAP network interface.

My mobile operator blocks VoIP ports so I mainly use an OpenVPN connection to tunnel VoIP traffic through an Edge connection :D

Only if you have smartphone specific feedback post in this thread. Do not ask general OpenVPN questions here. For more info about OpenVPN for PPC see: http://ovpnppc.ziggurat29.com/ovpnppc-main.htm there is a forum as well.

Have fun!

Hi,

I have DASH WM6 from T-Mobile.

4. Copy the two registry files form the Registry directory to your device, e.g. to \My Documents and register them. To easily do that, I recommend Resco Registry editor)

I did save 2 registry files in \My Documents. But I don't know how to register them, I execute TAP Device and TAP Device1 I get "no Application Associate to it"

I downloaded regeditor Rescue, but I get an error says, Unsuccessful install because this app not for this device"

I downloaded the SKTools - Registry Editor, but don't know to to register 2 registry files.

Please help.

I like to use GRPS to VPN back to my office and use VOIP.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi,

Also, I have Windows 2003 Radius Server (also VPN Server). Would it work with openVPN client? I see your sample.ovpn with some kind of security certs (TLS). Are there any steps to export the cert from Win-2003 server to this OpenVPN client? [I did copy the server cert on the phone; when I am in office, I can get phone Wi-Fi to auth with WPA TLS - Wi-Fi Access point.]

Thanks,

No, unfortunately OpenVPN client only connects to an OpenVPN server.

Does anyone know how I can use IPsec VPN? I've got Bluefire VPN wich supports it, but when I try to connect it says

"The Connection Settings do not allow a VPN connection to be established. The device may be configured to use the same network for both The Internet and Work. Please verify the Connection Settings and try again (-71)"

Ive looked all over for this sort of settings, but havent been able to find any. Anyone to help?

Something strange...

Hi,

i am trying to connect to my VPN using your software. Everything seems OK from the log, but in the OpenVPN Connection Manager, the TAP device becomes unloaded and the VPN State is Oprhan. Do you have a similar problem ?

[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] invader zog:
I did do step 1, but I ended up needing to get the registry tool recommended. I think I have everything working except I realized that the IP addresses of the back network I am VPNing into is in the same subnet as the IP that the phone has... but at least that is a networking problem I can more easily sink my teeth into...

No TAP Device ... Can't regedit HKLM

Though Resco Registry Editor says it successfully imported the contents of the *.reg files, the entries aren't really there. I've tried to manually enter with Resco and with PHM, but neither can make changes in HKLM. (They can edit in HKCU, though).

I have a T-Mobile Dash with their WM6 ROM.

Any suggestions?

FWIW: Everything seems to be working OK upto the point where the TAP device is started. Certs are negotiated and settings are received from OpenVPN server, but it just cannot start the TAP device. Last lines in the logfile are:

Update: I have successfully imported the Registry keys using Resco Registry Editor. They fix was to install the application unlock cab found at: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1146363&postcount=30

Now I can establish an OpenVPN to my home network and browse internal systems (Needed to set IE to use "Work" network: Menu->Tools->Options->Connections: Un-check Audomatically detect settings, Select Network: Work).

I used the unlock cab and the imported the Registry Keys. But it still doesn't work. Always the message above.

While using the OpenVPN Manager i see one TAP device, which is not loaded. If i try to start it, a message came: cannot be started. I can delete the adapter, install a new one, but it is still not useable.

In the networkcards tab, i can see the "TAP1 Virtual Ethernet Device" and "Virtual Ethernet Intermediate Miniport". But there are no options available.

Has anyone a suggestion for me?

I've been using openvpn for a while now with my Kaiser and it rocks. Yet I do have one small issue I'd like help with... whenever I turn the screen off or if it turns itself off (power saving settings) the vpn drops. I'd like it to stay live even when the screen is off. How can I acheive this ?

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] groston:
All,

As I noted in another thread, when I worked on my wife's new Galaxy S5, I let it upgrade to Android 5.0, then rooted it, then made some mistakes while restoring apps via Titanium Backup. In order to undo those mistakes, I want to roll back to the beginning and start over. To that end, I have been trying to reinstall stock firmware on the phone but I keep running into the same problem:

<ID:0/022> Added!!

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

Based on reading here and elsewhere, I have tried the following:

Factory reset the phone

Verified that USB debugging is enabled and that allow remote lock is disabled

Ran Odin as Administrator

Use different versions of Odin (have tried 1.3, 1.85, 3.07, and 3.09)

Tried different firmware versions

Reinstalled Samsung drivers

Tried different computers and different USB cables

Regardless of what I have tried, I keep getting the same error.

The phone still works - I can boot it, so it is not bricked. I was also able to successfully re-root the phone (using the CF Auto Root approach). Based on my reading, it seems that replacing the PIT file is a next step to try, but it also seems that this is a fast way to killing a phone, so I am hesitant to try.

The phone in question is a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S5, SM-G900P. The kernel is currently Android 5.0, build version LRX21T.G900PVPU2B0D3. I would like to replace with with the stock 4.4.4 kernel (found here: http://stockroms.net/file/GalaxyS5/SM-G900P/G900PVPU1ANCB_G900PSPT1ANCB_SPR.zip). If replacing the PIT file is the next thing to try, can you please point me to the specific one to use? If not, can you suggest something else to try?

Thank you.

[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supr2nr:
Hey guys I'm having a problem with my nexus player and was wondering if anyone else has had the same issue and a resolution. If I'm playing a game that is heavy in graphics (like dead trigger 2). After about 20 to 30 minutes into the game my controller loses connection to the nexus player. Neither the controller or the remote will sync. I have to get up and pull the power and plug it back up and voila everything works. It's just frustrating because it happens during games.

I initially thought it was heat but now its on a shelf with nothing around it and it still does it.

I may call Google for a replacement bit just wondering if others had the issue first and if there was a fix.

Thanks.
[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supr2nr:
Well I called Google. After being on hold and talking to one of their reps they suggested I take it back to Best Buy (which I no longer have the receipt for). She then connected me to Asus tech support. After talking with them we came the conclusion that this is not normal operation and it should likely be sent back for return. I bought the device on May 17. Asus confirmed that the device is still under warranty but insisted that I would have to pay for repair (which defeats the purpose of a warranty). When i asked him what the cost would be, he put me on hold and then almost immediately sent me through to a survey for how the call was handled and then the call was terminated. Still no return calls back from Asus or Google. A bit disappointed. Obviously no one else seems to have the same issue and the device is not even two full months old and they want me to pay for repairs.

This nexus player/android TV is beginning to turn into a Google TV scenario all over again. I have two Google TV boxes still and it just seems that they give up on the damn things.

At the moment I have a $100 hockey puck sitting in my entertainment center connected to my TV which is for the most part useless. :(

I've had the Nexus Player for a couple days and the remote would work anywhere from a 1-10 minutes and then loose connection. I kept unpairing and pairing it and it would only work for a short time. Rebooting did not work. My phone was working fine as a remote. I finally got fed up with it last night and did a factory reset on the Player and it worked the rest of the night. Woke up this morning and tested and the remote is still working great. Tried again at lunch time and no issues with it at all. It may be a little inconvenient but I would give a factory reset a try. It was not to much of a hassle for me as I really only had 1 app installed on it.

Hi, I have a Moto G 2014 with Stock 5.0.2 rooted, and I bought a 32GB SD Card a few days ago. The thing is that everything is still going to the internal memory, instead of the SD (photos, downloads, etc.), so I want to know if it's a way to make everything write on the SD card without messing up the phone (I heard I can mount SD in /sdcard changing init.rc but I don't want to do that). I also want to move my WhatsApp chats to the SD too, hehehehe (WhatsApp data is in the internal :'c)

Thanks in advance.
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demothon:
Hi,

For the photos and videos part, you can select from the camera application if you want to store them in the internal memory or on the SD card. For applications I think they are installed in the internal memory by default but you can move them after installation on the SD card by going to settings -> apps -> touch app -> move to SD card. To change the default installation location you need the android SDK installed on your PC and adb and then to edit a file. But I do not recommend this since the SD card is not accessible while the phone is connected to the PC. This will make applications that always run to work improperly(widgets, Facebook, etc. might generate a lot of errors because of it).
