Hi folks!

I just got my Touch Pro and i'm wondering, if anyone managed to access network shares by a vpn over 3G connection.

My settings:

VPN Server PPTP Windows XP (yeah, the built-in, because its easier than openvpn) set to 192.168.77.1 and DHCP disabled

PPC:

To make things clearer, here's a picture:

i've set them ips static and disabled access to the local gateway on my homeserver, so the PPC doesn't connect to the internet over the VPN

If you want your homeserver to scramble your traffic (for VoIP, etc.) you can enable the gateway which is 192.168.0.1 in my setup and use a second IP-Address range for the VPN INSIDE (!) 192.168.0. (like 20-30 or so).

No Proxies set, but an Exception for "*/*.*" IF i want internet-traffic routed over the vpn.

Now as i search with resco explorer for network shares it sees:

- only the server when set to an own IP-Subnet (192.168.77.)

- every computer at my home when set to the SAME IP-Subnet (192.168.0.)

- every computer at the 3G network which share the same IP (maybe this is the tricky part?)

But i just cannot connect to share, neither by entering the computername (\\PCNAME\C$), nor by entering an IP (\\192.168.77.1\C$). I can ping them though and accessmy local webserver by their vpn-IP with Opera. FTP is working too.

I already tried forwarding 135-139 and 445 to connect directly without a VPN, but this somehow ain't working for me, even not with another computer, maybe you have a sugg :)

I'd really like to know myself inside my home even if i step out of it (you guys will understand, my gf doesn't). Maybe you guys have an idea how to "simplify" the vpn-setup at my PPC, too. It's kind a mess what you have to do to force a vpn on every connection to the internet. A switch (All traffic through VPN, only local traffic through VPN and no VPN at all) would come in handy.

Second Part is:

I've managed to connect my modem to a landline and start making a call with my computer at home. I'd like to know if there is ANY way to use my landline over the vpn on my PPC, just imagine how much money you could save. I already tried a stupid way (Remote Computer with sound on the ppc) but this isn't very comfortable.

Call forwarding features enabled at home are NOT an option, because you would be charged...
[Networking] rumpleforeskin:
sorry i dont have a solution for you but i suffer similar problem.

Setup incoming connection in vista network manager.

Set 1723 port forward in router to vista machine

setup VPN in WM6.1 with correct details.

PPC connects to vista machine, i can see it connected in network manager.

Using resco explorer, map network drive shows no shared folders.

also activating VPN requires alot of steps and clicks everytime you wish to use it.

I am maybe missing somthing obvious, maybe some tips to help us out? or a hint of where to start looking for the problem.

ps i can map network shares when connected to me local network via WIFI, just not possible over the internet :(
[Networking] RiWaLE:
Thanks for the reply, nice to hear i'm not the only one.

I think this is related to the IP. I assume, you SHARE your IP with other users around you. I was reading this somewhere, here's another link:

http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php?t=30837

check the last post.

The network provider uses NAT, so we have to find a workaround. Maybe your computer at home only sees the public IP address (the one you share...) and is unable to reply to the share request.

To prove this:

connect to 3G without VPN enabled. Then search for other network shares in Resco, you should see a bunch of other computers.

I will try to access a network share with windows xp over the 3G and post the results.
[Networking] rumpleforeskin:
Interesting idea, ill give it a try later.

i am starting to think my router is having trouble forwarding the GRE packets, i have tried forwarding port 47 but its made no difference. i need to get home and check my router logs see if i can find out if the data is going where is should.

I may attempt to VPN via L2TP instead of PPTP, but im unsure of how to setup the incoming connection on the vista machine. Maybe it requires some 3rd party software, it did not seem obvious in vista how to choose L2TP instead of PPTP!!! But this should prove if the GRE packets are the problem
[Networking] RiWaLE:
OK, i got VPN over 3G working with a laptop using the ICS of my Touch Pro.

So, next step, compare the settings!

On my Laptop (Connection --> Details)

Server Type: PPP

Transports: TCP/IP

Authentication: MS CHAP V2

Encryption: MPPE 128

Compression: MPPC

PPP multilink framing: Off

Server IP address: 192.168.5.50

Client IP address: 192.168.5.51

On the PPC:

Server Type: PPP

Transports: TCP/IP

Authentication: MS CHAP V2

Compression: MPPC

Server IP address: 192.168.5.50

Client IP address: 192.168.5.52

WHO could have thought of this? They're the same.

I will keep looking into "SLIP" (whatever this is) an The L2TP VPN Type

Reports will follow.

For Your GRE-Problem. You REALLY need a router who gets this right. I have a WRT54GL with DD-WRT which is very simple to set up. I also know of some Fritz!Box (es) that they forward this right. Maybe try to set up the vpn between 2 computers first. btw, IF you already see your PPC in "connected clients", the forwarding is working!

I have installed spark os month ago and it works fine on my poco.

There is a new update available and OTA not working on the current version.

Am using OragneFox recovery and want to install the new os version?!

if it is not possible to update and it needs a fresh install, I will need a good backup idea because making backup from recovery not working to!

Hey everyone,

Just bought a brand new Oukitel WP15 and would love to go with LineageOS 17 or 18 if possible. I was wondering if that is possible (from the specs of the phone) and what method would be best. Sorry for my total nooby question - I am new to the game, but would want to add some privacy to my life.

Thanks for your help.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] vxsw:
I tried Andy Yan's build at the end of autumn and it had worked. not sure about version, more likely it was a 17.

also, not sure, but seems builds based on aosp12 will not work with current official (oukitel) boot. so if you'll want to try, builds based on aosp11 would be prefer, but anyway - no warranties.

p.s. I use a phhusson's 11.0 v313 and it works fine enough for me.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] Asqq:
Thanks bro, i will try again, i remember i did try erase system, but same error, partition not found, i don't know the erase commad for oukitel wp15

On command "getvar all" it show that some files are on partition slot_a and some on slot_b
[Oukitel (All phone models)] vxsw:
slots is just an active version of used partitions. you can't use them both at once. seems you must read or view about slots too)) try to watch this. it's very useful and informative

use translate subtitles, if your language is not en.

it's depend of from where you tried to do it. you must do it while you in fastbootD, not fastboot (bootloader). i.e. you must be "inside super" to work with system.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] Asqq:
Broo thanks! Worked! Finaly instaled a GSI on this devices
[Oukitel (All phone models)] Asqq:
I tryed Andy Yan versions and works only version ,,lineage-18.1-20220217-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_bvS-vndklite.img ”- only that, others make boot loop, phhusson's 11.0 v313 seems to be great, but i dont like the logo :D
[Oukitel (All phone models)] vxsw:
yep. dislike it too, but have no choise((
[Oukitel (All phone models)] Asqq:
Test the Andy Yan version, until now works pretty well, and it can separate the notification sound and call sound
[Oukitel (All phone models)] vxsw:
I tried lineage, but didn't like it. phhusson's build more prefer for me.

just subjective, no real reasons :sneaky:
[Oukitel (All phone models)] vxsw:
not sure what you talking about, but seems it's a standard ability and may be configured via default sound settings for any android (at least 7+)
[Oukitel (All phone models)] Asqq:
hehe :D
[Oukitel (All phone models)] Asqq:
Well that, the volume of notifications are linked with call volume, sometime that is annoying :D
[Oukitel (All phone models)] vxsw:
oh, you mean volume. then yep. good feature, but not so critical for me))

also oukitel in promises of update to android 12, so I'll wait. reinstall all of this software and reconfiguring soooo anoying and I'm sooo lazzy((
[Oukitel (All phone models)] Asqq:
ok :))

This AOSP Android 14 works for me, and it let you use face ID and Fingerprint which non of the previous GSi Ive tried so far did.

[Oukitel (All phone models)] Qban iT Solution:
This steps also worked with my Oukitel WP17, it will actually let you use a much larger GSi so there are more options that work too.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] sieger007:
I got this phone Amz US 🇺🇸 but right now been positioned in Nepal and India. I 'd have hoped it worked in India. It just keeps rebooting after 2 mins. This is the stock OS that gives bunch of messages like dm-veify corrupt. Every once 5 mins it reboots and then powersoff with this error ( see screenshot )

I thought I got it Spanking New from Amazon but could be that someone returned it and it came to me ? cos I see developer opts --> OEM Locking switch is available. I turned it on alongwith USB Debugging.

My Q :

1) Does that mean Boot-loadeer is unlocked already ?

2) I dont see an single Key Combo ( Power + Vol + or vol - ) that will get me into fastboot and recovery mode . Does anyone know the correct combos

3) for the above ROM's that worked Andy + another GSI (?_) does 5G and VoLTE work ? Please confirm

4) for custom ROM installed -= what does NOT work .

5) How to install custom ROM via TWRP and is there a TWRP

6) The above steps ( in the thread ) are a bit complicated. Is there a vid that tells it simplyView attachment 6066732
[Oukitel (All phone models)] vxsw:
it's a very bad idea. if you unlock it once, then do not lock it back. never.

download official fw and flash it via flash tool. but do not use "format", use "download" only, or you'll erase your imei's.

it's a treble device, so I can't see an any reason to use a twrp.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] sieger007:
The officical fw is vanilla android ? becos that is what I have here that came with the phone unless someone jimmied it before it got here. Ok the b/l came unlocked I think. I kept it unlocked never locked it ( oem unlock was available ) . Will VoLTE and 5G work with the above ROM's being discussed in these threads
[Oukitel (All phone models)] vxsw:
as I understood, official wf is not a vanilla because it's a modified enough. you may get official fw here https://oukitel.com/pages/download-center

sorry, I do not use it both (not lte, not a 5g).
[Oukitel (All phone models)] sieger007:
I needed TWRP for rooting. My last phone was > 5 yrs ago & I rooted it the old way. Is there any way you can root and effectively hide b/l and root status i n these newer phones. From what I ready Magisk stopped hide a long time ago , which will make my BofA app crash . Are ther any Open Source or similar forks that I can use which effectively hide it from 💲💲apps and similar ones.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] vxsw:
sorry, I did never interesting in root and do not inspect this aspect. but I know, what users root it, but have no idea about effectiveness of stealth.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] sieger007:
I upgaded to latest fw Still android 11.x but its just got WORSE

-- there is some kind of securty patch that will prevent apk standalone files installation via file manager :(

-- No voLTE

- 5G switch is like a totempole in notification panel further in settings nothing out there telling me to use 5G except for 5G preference for networks. Before buying I checked 💯 that 5G frequencies I am interested in are covered and now its like this crap ware

-- No TWRP : I like to keep my phone rooted.

For former 2 : theres a mediatek engineering app on playstore which is a wrapper to invoke MTK engineering mode but all the ops inside are greek and latin. Cant figure out diddly squad on any of this.

For a prof fee would appreciate if someone would work with me to get these working. 👆🏻

Iftwill be more than a few beers rest assured .Hit me up @jasreeves on ☎️Gram App

Sorr this is so so so so so sos frustrating when you find out that you paid for a something like a VW if not an Audi but get a

[Oukitel (All phone models)] vxsw:
it's definitely not a ntfs. it's a some sort of linux fat. 7zip may unpack it (but not pack back). and I'm not sure, about repacking "super" is a correct way.

use this to flashing https://spflashtools.com/ but v5 only, not v6.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] sieger007:
adb works fastboot 👎 no. clue

why. will re install.mtk drivers from mtk latest vers.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] vxsw:
I did use adb at that time as on win7 as on win10 and all was ok.

btw, did you plug the usb in the front or back? if at front, try to plug at back, directly to motherboard.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] sieger007:
at back if it was a connection issue ..... adb wd have quit as well. Here usb ✅ but fastboot devices no answer. I used adb reboot fastoot as well as adb reboot-bootloader or some like that ( dont ,🎯 on that last command ) but worked & get me to fastboot mode .lower left white small font messaage .then on I'm stuck
[Oukitel (All phone models)] vxsw:
uh... then... did you unlock bootloader as in fastboot, as in developer menu?

p.s. I did remember one point - check driver what windows uses in devices. perhaps you need change it manually.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] sieger007:
yes of course its OEM unlocked ✅ on Dev Opts . With fastboot mode on & phone plugged in scanned Dev Manager & it continued to show ADB Device. At that pt update driver ---> Manual op --> All drivers --> Adb Boot loader after which it showed as boot-loader . Asked for restart which I impatiently ignored. Notwithstanding all this ..fastboot devices ? no answer ( aka not working )
[Oukitel (All phone models)] sieger007:
I got Fastboot mode working on Linux after throwing in the entire sink for windows & getting :( . Using this guide and opening up windows drivers doc ( to know vendor codes ) and adding vendor code 0e8d for wp15

I could get fastboot on Linux to work ( of course adb works everywhere ) .

THANKS so much.

( P.S. The above GUI method you showed for windows .... problem is even after reboot fastboot there is no yellow exclamation mark & it cont. to show up as ADB Device instead of Bootloader the picture you posted. I then manually updated drivers to force choose bootloader to make it look like yours but fastboot will not still see my phone.

I will update other stuff in separately else it'll be too gobbled
[Oukitel (All phone models)] sieger007:
adb reboot bootloader

- unlock it ✅ ( I think was already via OEM toggle in ROM )

fastboot flashing unlock

push some keys - see instruction at phone display

- disable verification

so did you push sparsed image or non sparsed? check it via hex.

I had errors on uploading when phone was connected at front (not directly mb). also cable may cause issues.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] sieger007:
okay I manage to install AOSP 14 101 ROM.

👍 Thank You

these are the mistakes I made down the line

-- windows 7 : fastboot was not working

* had to manually install ( recon figure ) mediatek drivers .

device manager ---> add legacy hardware ---> manually choose the driver option ---> choose the driver in unsigned folder of MediaTek zip file extract ---> you will see to ADB devices icon under Android devices in device manager remove the one that is not MediaTek. confirm this by looking at device ID in properties of ADB device.

look for vendor code 0e8d for wp15 - that is the driver you will keep and the other one has to be uninstalled

* fastboot & ADB binary , that were in my %PATH% variable were pointing to outdated ones. even though I downloaded latest ones due to $PATH interference the older ones were being called.

Soln ---> update PATH variable to point tolatest binaries

once the above two were enforced everything started working in windows

-- system image push error.

I had converted the image into sparse using img2sparse or some similar utility since hex view was showing me 00000

actually there is no need to convert the image into sparse.

this was my mistake

only if system push fails with a complaint that the image is not sparse , then it's needed to convert your image to sparse

image push when well after this

I got 14 running

post install activities

- this is a barebones install

have to download gapps

-there is an option to download IMS app once this is downloaded and installed VoLTE option is visible in settings otherwise the phone does not come out of the box with VoLTE working

- 5G T-Mobile 🇺🇸 is ✅

5G 🇮🇳 with Jio does not seem to work

although specifications confirm 💯 that this phone covers all 5G frequencies for JIO

- camera crashes every once in a while & causes system reboot

- have not completely tested Bluetooth & Wi-Fi but seem to work 'skimmingly'

- other hardware have to test

-figuring out ways to install TWRP and root
[Oukitel (All phone models)] sieger007:
I was trying to build TWRP for this and had'nt had any luck.

I used couple of perms and combos & got 3 TWRP versions out I 'll call them A, B, C they differ in some opts of fstab & other files . C works but I get stuck in TWRP Loop aka system will not boot.

A & B don't work at all. There are some singularities because of A/B situation ?

-- adb reboot recovery is caput because recovery is part of boot . So this command gets me to a "bellyup ( dead ) android robot" icon. Once phone is on this icon. Nothing works. No keys .When I stick phone on laptop usb it gives me strangely a message that vendor keys cant be trusted.

So if if I am not mis. ... only way to approach recovery is via FasbootD op to enter recovery. BTW

Is there a key combo to enter recovery ? / fastboot ? fastbootd ? ( no key combos work )

-- fastboot boot <image> does NOT work for this model. You have to flash it. I dunno why this is case ? any idea ?

-- fastboot flash boot file for A & B did not do anything at all. It got me to stock recovery. I force flash to A and B slot using _A and _B command and phone goes into bellyup ( dead ) android robot" icon.

fastboot boot ../../twrp15stock.img
Sending 'boot.img' (40960 KB) OKAY [ 2.018s]
Booting FAILED (Status read failed (No such device)

with TWRP C ... I break data encryption by reformatting to vFat --> back to Ext4 and then data will mount but system will still be back to TWRP only. It right here btw for d/l. It cant mount product or vendor or anything. I verified that fstab is just as per what is in the system

I am stuck here. Dont I need TWRP to even flash Gapps. Because there are not Gapps on GSI ROM.

@vxsw

Bad news friend . Phone stuck while re-flashing firmware ( Android logo ) . I cooked up a TWRP so I can install GAPPS and Magisk . I was kinda getting there when I boot-looped into TWRP and system wasnt booting at all after that . Now after trying to flash firmware stock its STUCK at Dm-verity device cannot be trusted error. I used earlier discussion in this very thread about how to install flash.

- Initially It would install upto System 40% and then gets stuck at Super. Eventually time out error.

- Now On windows its stuck at 100% DA and nothing more .. So I tried linux SP Tool . There are 2 versions available on Linux. One could'nt just get DA to enter and other cant find a free USB port . Here below are the logs

[HINT]:
)((ConnectBROM,../../../flashtool/Conn/Connection.cpp,103))
Connecting to BROM...
Scanning USB port...
Search usb, timeout set as 3600000 ms
SearchUSBPortPool failed!
Failed to find USB port
Connect BROM failed: S_TIMEOUT(1042)
Disconnect!
User stopped.

The drivers are all installed alright. Dunno what to do . Of course right at the onset I flash just boot and vbmeta then tried full flash but I cant get the damn thing to re-flash. Once it did succeed with the Green tick mark but I STILL got the DM-verify cant trust device message and it got stuck at the Oukitel logo. Right now its stuck at the Android Logo.

Time to throw it into the Hwang Ho River ? had enough barely able to squeeze time for this from other things ...... and its just hard to get anything to work right without using getting sucked in a mire of desperate searches and solutions and nothing works . FRUSTRATING CCP Phones. Why do they make em so contorted ?
[Oukitel (All phone models)] vxsw:
if you have no:

- get official fw here https://oukitel.com/pages/download-center

- get spflash tool version 5.2134 or upper (but not v6) https://spflashtools.com/

then:

- setup your spflash tool for "download only" (not "format")

- disconnect your phone from pc

- power off your phone

- hold on phone 3 buttons: "+volume", "-volume", "power". keep holding ~20 seconds. important - keep holding this buttons, ignore any actions of your phone. just keep holding it ~20 seconds.

- click "start" flashing on your spflash tool (while phone is disconnected)

- release "power" button, but still hold both volumes

- connect your phone to usb 2.0 on mother board (use usb 2.0, not 3.0).

- flashing must start. now you may release all buttons and wait untill it'll done.

do it in accuracy exactly I did wrote, step by step. don't ask about logic of this actions, treat it as an ancient rite.
[Oukitel (All phone models)] sieger007:
Thanks Pal. I 'll give it 1 more shot and post here. I did that without success on USB 3 port of PC now will try it on the 1 USB 2 port . The problem is its getting stuck at anywhere between 20-40% in super. Just once it flashed fine ( download op for everything . Not d/l + format or upgd ) but that DM-verity error still came. PS While I was playing around with TWRP I ran DM-vefiy-force-encrypt script to make sure I dont run into this. not sure what this broke .
