Precisely what I was thinking. Was sitting here surfing using the phone as a modem, getting great speed, then thought, 'hey it would be cool as f%#$# to connect to Live with this...' I mean, I know the 8525 could probably handle it... The question is, what CANT this phone do?!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] dtx:
Just tried it. Plugged it in and enabled Internet Connection Sharing, and the phone starts charging, but says "Check USB Connection" I'm not much of a hacker, so I can't attempt any driver\software hacks to get it working. You'd probably have to write a driver for the XBox to recognize the phone, and possibly vice versa. Definitly possible. Probably never going to happen though.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] drodri18:
I'm doing it now. I connected the 8525 by USB to my computer. Then I open up the Internet Sharing program that uses the phone as a USB modem (I'm using Black Majic ROM btw). Then I select connect on the program on my 8525. Once it connects, I go to my Network Connections on my PC. I have the RJ-45 connected from the XBOX 360 to the ethernet port on my PC. I click once on the connection that says Local Area Connection # (mine is 13, everyones would be different) Windows Mobile Based Internet Sharing Device, then I hold Ctrl on my PC keyboard and click on the other connection (the one for my ethernet port). Once both are highlighted, you can right click on either one and select Bridge (I believe thats the one, anything that says Bridge on it) and let Windows bridge the connections and you should be set. Sorry if my explaining isn't very good.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] V J:
Via a PC it should indeed be not an issue (as explained above).

To do it directly, it should work with an ethernet-bluetooth bridge. I'm

using 2 ethernet-wifi bridges to connect a TV and a PC to a wifi router,

but I'm pretty sure ethernet-bluetooth bridges also exist.

JÃ¶rg
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] HOLLIDAY1183:
Wow, according to drodri I was pretty close to having it right before... I will try that setup in a sec... also, is there a way to incorporate my wireless-G linksys router into this, or no? Is that in Vista?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] HOLLIDAY1183:
I appreciate your input... I've done exactly the same as your setup, and when I go into Network Connections, it has the 8525 listed as Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device (Internet Connect #5) & the ethernet connection as Local Area Connection (Unidentified Network)... In the Network and Sharing Center, do I make the ethernet connection Private, or leave it Public? Or does it matter at all... because it still for some reason won't connect to Live, it still fails the IP test... there must be a setting or configuration I'm missing here, I just know it
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sambartle:
You could also possibly use an ethernet to wifi device (wireless access point) to go from ethernet to wifi on the 360, then use a wireless network to the TyTN (ad-hoc mode rather than ap mode) and use that to run the connection..

but..

a) its an expensive way to do it

b) it needs extra hardware

c) it may not work (can the tytn do ICS over wifi rather than usb? DUN mode may work on the newer roms that will have it - but does DUN work over wifi)

d) the access point would need to initiate the connection to the phone while also doing dhcp for the xbox.. it should work.. and id try it for you.. except that it seems like a horribly complex way to do it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] HOLLIDAY1183:
Hmm... maybe I'll give it a shot.

Where there's a will, there's a way
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] dtx:
I think the ideal goal here would be straight from 360 to Hermes. USB or wifi, with a small adaptor if needed. It would be beautiful if someone could write drivers so you could just plug 'er in with USB and use the built in Internet Sharing on the Hermes.

Obviously those are high hopes, and in a perfect world everything would automatically work like that. *drools over universal compatibility*
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sambartle:
For USB The problem is the driver would have to be on the 360.. it's 100% impossible.

Even if you can run unsigned code on your 360, you'd also have to be some kind of coding,hardware modding, hacking junkie to even try to write a 360 driver; on top of which to do it for a crazy reason like interfacing to one mobile phone... that would be die hard madness!

Microsoft on the other hand could probably whip it up in 5 minutes as the xbox already supports everything that's needed except an RNDIS driver to enumerate the phone as a network card. Problem being the target audience is small; possibly even just you guys ;)

Wifi is more likely to happen as you dont really need to modify the 360, if someone wrote a driver to make the phone look like a wireless AP (if thats possible with its wifi chipset) and assuming ICS on WM6 supports wifi connection to the PC/360 (im not sure it does) then it should work fine. (Has anyone checked if the 360 wifi adapter can support a connection to non-ap ad-hoc wifi? if it can then this might work already if you very lucky - i dont have the wifi link for my 360 or id try it)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Deleted member 384713:
Does anybody know if there is already software to make the Hermes a WiFi-Router or make ICS make select WiFi?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] l3it3r:
I'm going to try this tonight with my regular xbox
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] c_buckle:
There are already instructions on this forum for using your device as a wifi access point. It seems pretty straight-forward. So you should be able to connect any wifi client, including a wifi capable Xbox 360.

8525 / Hermes wifi AP
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] djeviltwin:
Hey, I actually did something similar since I didn't want to buy a $100 wireless adapter. I have a PC (but can be done with a laptop) with a wi-fi connection near my 360 all I had to do was use a patch cable to connect the PC to the 360. I am running vista, but Patch cables are hardware that tells the network card they are attached to a like device. It automatically shared my connection and we were able to go on-line. There were other ways I found that suggest changing router settings and such, but this was the easiest way. All you need now to use your phone to get your 360 on-lin is a computer;)
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobinPharswan:
I have rooted my phone using the all in one guide for moto G2014. The only problem that I have is that booting time has increased by increase it means a lot. ROM is stock just unlocked and rooted and twrp flash. Any solution to solve this ? Because I doubt flashing another ROM won't be of much help .

Problem solved by flashing a new rom . I flashed AOSP 5.1.1
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] freeza:
Here's a kernel for the Canadian variant of the Note Edge with root support, init.d, and added TCP Congestion methods via defconfig and ramdisk edits.

Prereq:

-Have a means to get back to stock software. This includes an Odin flashable TAR or a recovery flashable ROM.

-[size=+2]Make sure you have a BACKUP![/size]. I cannot stress this enough. While I am certain you won't run into any trouble with the kernel, it's always good to have a backup of your system (including kernel[boot in twrp]) beforehand.

Instructions:

-Download SuperSU beta from here

-Download the kernel: BeastMode 1.1 for the Galaxy Note Edge (Canada, SM-N915W8)

Place both the kernel and SuperSU beta onto your internal or external storage.

Reboot into TWRP.

Flash kernel.

Flash SuperSU.

Reboot and profit.

-Know a bit of knowledge about how to restore your system or what this root enabled kernel will provide. I won't be able to reply to PMs asking me questions. You should know a bit about what you're doing before you do it.

Source code: This uses the Sprint source code, which is available in the Stockish ROM thread.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] dinaps86:
I'll test for you, I'm going to the docs now but when I get home I'll gladly be the guinea pig (currently have not taken the 5.1.1 update) I understand you may not have the answer(s) to the following questions but I'm just wondering the following: does/will the unofficial Xposed mod work with 5.1.1, will/does ViPER4Android work on 5.1.1, is your kernel selinux-Permissive (?), other than that I'm confident that you and I can overcome/workaround "noob" situations, (I have my edge working perfectly right now but I'm not only doing this for me it's our whole small community (SM-N915P), I'll be losing access to Emotion kernel (totally am not happy about that), but anyway before I take the update is it at all possible to just flash the 5.1.1 modem, firmware, etc (and as long as my bootloader remains at 5.0.1 I can ODIN back or did samsung destroy that luxury for us too)
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] freeza:
hah, great questions and let me start out by saying .....i made a huge noob mistake :'(

Xposed doesn't work with touchwiz on 5.1.1.....yet (i didn't bother reading before i got excited about 5.1.1 on the note 4)

Not sure if viper works

On the Note 4, you cannot downgrade at all after taking 5.1.1 (made that mistake when I was on a downgradeable bootloader and kitkat...)

I'm currently using CM because I cannot use touchwiz without xposed and i cannot fathom using this phone without my modules.

So yeah, I went from the perfect phone ......to crap. I wish we still had someone providing leaks. An engineering bootloader would probably solve all of this.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] dyra502:
I would love to test it but not ready til they get xposed working first
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] trezegol:
ill test it pm link pls
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] ntwin98:
Hi Freeza, I'll like to test the Kernel. Thanks.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] ntwin98:
Thanks Freeza...testing now.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] paco_1:
Freeza i test the kernel
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] ntwin98:
So far I've had 3 random phone reboots.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] aamszia:
i want to test it ...

---------- Post added at 11:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 AM ----------

can anyone provide me the link ?

Tester on 5.1.1 here
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] aamszia:
where is the link for beta kernel ?
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] I_eat_tacos:
I would be willing to test.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] snovvman:
[MENTION=309990]freeza[/MENTION]: Thanks for responding to our request to mod the Edge kernel. I'm with you--I can't use the phone without Xposed. Here's to hoping that Xposed will support TW LP 5.1.1 soon....
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] dally28:
Hi Freeza....Appreciate your work in providing a test kernel for 5.1.1 and root, and am more than willing to test it out. I am a very long time phone tester and never permanately bricked a phone proud to say. :) :good:
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] dinaps86:
Hey freeza u mind messaging me that kernel I just want to extract it and compare it to Emotion kernel and stock 5.0.1 kernel
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] ecs87:
Hey freeza. As I'm testing out root on a Note Edge on 5.1.1 myself I've come across something that may be of note to you. I've gotten permissive SELinux and root. But the baseband is unknown, the phone gets no signal, and it reboots after about a minute of being booted into android. I've tracked it down to the TIMA RKP settings but that's as far as I've gotten. Hope this gives you some tips on where to look to iron out any issues you come across. If I solve the issue beforehand I'll post back.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] celhack:
I want Test it..
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] Adanedhels:
Freeza,

And testers just wanted to see what the status is and if this kernel will help. Im getting about worried about being 2 updates behind especially when one is to fix the stagefright update.

Im in a tricky place as i need my phone rooted for work, but cant keep a vulnerability like that open...

Does this kernel work?

Thanks,

Adan

[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] tonasoledad1:
hey guys any news on this model rooted
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] z31k:
Update!!

Just want go give out a recent status update for my man, Freeza. He didnt ask me to do it, so I hope that it's ok..

He is still working very hard on the Kernel/Root method for you guys. I have been working close with Freeza (as a tester) and I just got to say, the dedication and patients this man has for a device he DOES NOT EVEN OWN is nothing less then awesome!! There have been hiccups that he is still trying to iron out, and this man doesn't want to release trash.

Personally, IF we get it or NOT, Thank you for the effort Freeza. In the whole time that I have been a member for XDA I have never met anyone as ambitious as Freeza.

Please give him a huge THANK YOU for his efforts. :D
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] rapdactyl:
Awesome, glad to hear he's still at work on it! Certainly wouldn't hate on him for giving up on a device he doesn't even own. Sending another donation this way, just to make sure he knows his efforts are appreciated. Thank you Freeza! <3
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] I_eat_tacos:
Thank you to both you and [MENTION=309990]freeza[/MENTION] for working on this. Have to ask if I could get a link to DL, I can provide additional logcats. Not everyone uses the device the same so I may find an issue that someone else never would.... and I want root :good:

Again, thank you!
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] z31k:
Would you be so kind as to PM me pls?
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] JF-GINO:
I have also been trying to build a root kernel for the Canadian SM-N915W8 Version.

I dont have much kernel experience, but so far I have tried modifying/adding everything I possibly can in ramdisk with no luck. My boot.img re-pack has everything needed inside for root - I have even added SU in sbin, but for some reason it will not mount and get the files dropped into sbin. I have tried porting over other kernels, but with results where my phone losses baseband and reboots after about a min or so - this is why I have been trying to do this without porting.

Anyways, I have tried contacting Freeza for some help, but he has not gotten back to me. Was wondering if you could possibly help - maybe I could try Freezas beta on my variant and troubleshoot it from my end also - would be good to have compatibility with a different edge and help out a community of users which have the least support of any other. Thanks.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] ecs87:
You need to do much more than just modify the ramdisk. If you're not touching the zImage you might as well just sit there and twiddle your thumbs :)
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] JF-GINO:
Yes, I see that now. What I was trying to do is add su binaries in sbin as this was the method used for the s5 on 5.1.1, but it is selinux permissive stuff that I got stumped on. I did extracted the zimage but it looks like everything here is now beyond my abilities :(

As for the reboot issues, have you narrowed them down to a general cause? My logs say there are tons of read errors before the system restarts. I am glad that the kernel does work on the w8 model regardless.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] ecs87:
I haven't messed with it lately since I was able to accomplish the task I needed without root but since there's enough interest I'll start searching for a N915P to toy with. I did the bare minimum to gain root and didn't have much time to try everything I wanted to before giving it back to the customer.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] TirithXiato:
If you're still looking for testers, I wouldn't mind helping out. I miss root since I ditched it for lollipop :(
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] abieofficial:
Where is the link? Or you can PM me. I willing to root and test my note edge. Thanks
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] loosecannon2013:
i'm willing to test this kernel, but one question

Will this work for the n915w8.

if yes or maybe i'd gladly give it a try...

thank you...
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] JF-GINO:
It works with w8 model.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] freeza:
Finally got a note edge... Im working on a kernel
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] boodaka:
you the man!!!
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] loosecannon2013:
ok cool could i get the link i'll love to test it...

an when i flash the kernel, does it have root or do i have to flash it separately...
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] Paleryder:
Go Freeza Go I love this phone and cant believe the lack of development. The separate edge screen is waaay better than what they ended up doing with the new edge phones, you can really multitask!
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] Darth-Kadd:
I would love to test this kernel as well. Pm me with the link please

I have sm-n915w8
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] unh1nged:
Stellar bro!

I'm on an n915w8 and would be willing to test as well.

Running a rooted 4.4.4 w/ TWRP 2.8.7.0

There are a lot of people waiting for this. And a good number trying, but no one with the mad skills to make it happen.

Hopefully you're the man. [emoji106]
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] z31k:
This kernel is for the N915...
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] unh1nged:
Ha.. woops. I meant n915w8.

I actually also have the Note 3 which has the very similar model number: n900w8.

But yea I meant the Note Edge n915w8.

Build 4 Kernel For Root By Freeza

Whats up fellas.. Freezas has been doing some extensive work for us guys so please give it up for that bad Mutha Shut yo Mouf!! I have been testing for his for a min and so far this is the most stable of all the test builds..

DISCLAIMER: THIS KERNEL WILL NOT DEEP SLEEP FOR MY DEVICE, THEREFORE IT IS SAFE TO SAY IT MAY NOT FOR YOURS AS WELL. THIS IS ONLY BEING RELEASED FOR TESTING PURPOSE FOR THOSE WHO WANT ROOT AND DON'T MIND A WORK AROUND. FREEZA HAS BEEN KIND ENOUGH TO PROVIDE THIS WORK DESPITE NOT HAVING THE DEVICE!!! USE AT YOUR DISCRETION!!!

Having said all of that, this kernel works for me when I have Wake Lock APP installed and set to PARTIAL_WAKE_LOCK.

LINK:

Click Me!!!

How to Install...

1) Place in sd card

2) Flash thru TWRP/CWM

3) Flash Beta-SuperSU-v2.49 (other versions have left me in bootloop)

4) Reboot

Upon reboot it will FC KNox... It comes with the territory... :cowboy:

5) SET WAKE LOCK!!!!!!!

Please leave feed back within the thread, if you find something that will fix the deep sleep issue, feel free to share!! We are a small community and must stick together on this fellas!! We are the few with the greatest phone on the market..

If you feel you would like to hook our friend Freeza up for his hard work... and a hell of a lot of patients!! leave him a donation at : freezatek@hotmail.com

Who knows!! With enough backers he may hook it up with a ROM!! :fingers-crossed:

And Finally

The Goods!!
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] loosecannon2013:
ok so thank u hard working guy so much

for your efforts. It is well appreciated..

An i'm here to say that it works an it is flashed on my n915w8....

though i get spontaneous reboots....

i then try to wipe cache and delvix cache but i couldn't wipe the cache

cause it's not mounted, but the delvix cache wiped..

Rebooted an so far no reboots....
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] z31k:
Are you using BETA SUPERSU?? I had that issue with mounting only when i flashed any other SUPERSU zip and flashing auto root after.. Just flash the kernel and the SUPERSU zip and you have root.. No CF-AUTO root required..
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] loosecannon2013:
ok cool. i am using the SUPERSU BETA 2.49,,.. well reset to recovery mode an see if wiping delvix cache wipes

thanks

UPDATE the rebooting is caused by the wake lock issue the wake lock app mentioned is a big help in keeping the phone from rebooting... so if by chance u reboot the phone yourself turn on the wake lock app. i have root yehhh..

thanks guys
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] JF-GINO:
If you have this problem, try restarting recovery and wiping... repeat this 5 times for both and it should give in.

It did for me - I remember this being a problem on my Note3 where cache would not mount when making a backup.

I was avoiding re-boots by raising the low cpu state & adjusting govenor settings/samplerate etc. but I was getting bad battery drain my way. That being said, this wakelock app does work great! - Thanks.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] loosecannon2013:
ah yes i cant help but say THANKS again for giving us root for our note edge....:cool:

only thing left now is a custom rom an xposed...:)

Aw nooo, man!

How long you think it'll take to get a replacement?

Is it covered, at least, so you can RMA it? :fingers-crossed:
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] boodaka:
man the charge port busted on my edge and they replaced the whole phone which was fine but it came with 5.1.1 so now i really hoping for a rooted 5.1.1 soon ...... aaaaahhhhhh keep up the great work guys....sorry bout the phone freeza
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] unh1nged:
there is man, read the thread you just posted in
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] I_eat_tacos:
I need some help here. What version of odin are you using to flash TWRP? Which TWRP? Have 2.8.7.0 and 2.8.7.1 tar files for TWRP. I used Odin3_v3.10.6 for both tars and the pos was added but would not flash in the AP slot.
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] freeza:
Hi guys. SORRY for the long wait. The Galaxy Note Edge I received had EFS (dm-verity) problems and no matter what I tried to do, it couldn't be fixed. However, I believe I have developed a kernel that works good. Find it in the OP and please report back your experiences!

Mods this kernel is unchanged from the source and only removes root restriction via defconfig as well as RAMDISK modifications.

Lol dude it must have updated as I wrote...sweet
[Sprint Note Edge Android Development] loosecannon2013:
hey buddy thank u so much for this an i don't mind putting my $900ca n915w8 at risk an for the sak of development

but i have to say did you do something else to the kernel...

so the steps i took is as follows

*rebooted to twrp

*installed the kernel and rebooted

the phone booted but i got no network signal and the phone become very hot...

i then rebooted back into recovery after waiting for the phone to cool down

this time i

*wiped cache and delvix cache and rebooted

the phone booted up but it still got hot and still there was no network signal.....

but the positive thing about the kernel is that i left it on for 30 mins and the phone did not reboot due to the wake lock issue

and it cooled down.... seems like you fixed that :) but network signal was broken......

the honor is mind for testing your hard work..

restoring my boot backup now and waiting for your responce...

THE FLASHAHOLIC YOUR TESTER
