hi

just posting to say this works on huawei pulse running a CM7.2 based rom. initially it did not seem to work, then i tried the integrated approach where PAW server was being seen but not the piratebox plugin. then i deleted the PAW folder and reinstalled the PAW that is in the OP of this thread. tried firefox but no dice then tried internet explorer and whay can see the piratebox login.

have tried now connecting ipod touch and mac laptop which work well.

note1: when wireless tether reports error just stop and restart it?

note2: the server.txt provided in OP does not seem to work, it FC PAW server?

note3: can't seem to connect with my OpendPandora handheld which runs Linux.?

note4: button to upload from apple ios is greyed out, so can't upload, but can download

No forward on galaxy S3 (I9300)

Hello,

This is all really really cool, thanks for your hard work !

I had several problems running this on my galasy S3 (samsung I9300 )

the original wireless tether was not working, os I had to use wifi tether (same soft, same company... but newer) to be able to handle tethering, then I used the PAW server from joshi,

everything seems ok except the forwarding...

The problem is that I do not see anything in my /data folder... it's empty, so paw can't send the forward instruction to my tether app, and I didn't find where the wifi tether app is located (I konw....)

I'm using oi file manager to access the root folder (tried also by ftp)

any idea?

Someone got this running on a S3 ?

Also, my version of paw server with piratebox doesn't have the chat, is this normal?

thanks

Pirate Box Mobile Redirect via Android Port Forwarding

Hello All,

Resolve port forwarding issues... worked like a charm for me!

Device: Droid Pro

Android: 2.3.7

Vaseband: N_01.83.00R

Kernel: 2.6.32.9-ge13b57aw36084@ca25rhe92 #2

Mod: CyanogenMod 7.0.2 RC1 Venus2 - UN

Build: cyanogen_venus2-eng 2.3.7 GINGERBREAD eng.jonathan.20120606.20053 test-keys

Issue:

Kernel wouldn't allow Wireless Tether for Root access to the DSNMASQ and wouldn't take any manual updates. After spending hours of going through the forums... I found my own solution.

Install PAWS

-- Use default settings

Install Wireless Tether for Root

-- Set SSID to www[DOT]Pirate[DOT]box

Obviously removing [DOT] and replacing with . (period)

-- Leave network unsecured

-- Leave LAN on 192.168.2.0/24

Install Port Forwarder Ultimate

-- Add server

---- Server Name: www[DOT]Pirate[DOT]box

Obviously removing [DOT] and replacing with . (period)

------ Add Rule

-------- Rule settings:

Source Port: 80

Destination: 8080

Check - Forward to external host

Enter PAWS server IP without Port # (ex: 192.168.2.254)

Hit back and SAVE, do the same on settings

START port forwarding

1) Start Port Forwarder Ultimate

2) Start Wireless Tether for Root

3) Start PAWS server

Connect to SSID: www{DOT]Pirate[DOT]box

In browser go to: www[DOT]Pirate[DOT]box

Obviously removing [DOT] and replacing with . (period)

BOOM! Pirate Box Mobile without editing IPTABLES and DNSMASQ. Super simple :D

BUMP. Is anyone working on this anymore? I just built a PirateBox and it is awesome! I would love to be able to repurpose some of these old Android phones I have laying around for something like this
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mattmenger:
Still here!

I'm still here, but I've been busy and have only been able to follow what's being said rather than contribute. Looking back on this thread, it seems like we need a well-organized how-to post for a step-by-step setup of Piratebox on Android. I realize it might vary by model, but if we could get it out there for the Galaxy S, S2, and S3 that would be a start. It might be best to focus on older models, since I think Ideally this would run on a dedicated extra phone. Seems like as good a use as any for an old Galaxs S laying around.

If I have time, I'll get around to it this weekend. Most of it has been simplified by Jochen and makes the old guide obsolete.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rubin110:
Just found this thread after beating PAW up for an hour. Heh. I'm going to a building boats out of trash and junk festival called Camp Tipsy and thought it would be fun to setup some wifi gear and a Raspberry Pi for some kind of anonymous disconnected message board. Over the last 48 hours I've learned a bit about solar powering DC devices, how much of a pain it is, and how costly it is. Realized I've got 4 extended batteries for my old HTC G2, which might last through a weekend of running wifi tethering. Then I found PAW and this thing I forgot about, PirateBox (which saves me from writing any code).

I've got the thing running on an old HTC G2 with the extended battery in a street facing window with the SSID "attwifi", will see how long that lasts.

Some things to note...

* The plugin install through the config site thing that PAW has never really worked. I dug up what that page does when I hit install, which is copy over some init scripts from the plugin directory to the PAW etc/init directory. I went ahead and did that by hand and that got PirateBox to start working.

* I've classically have had bad luck with continuously running wifi tethering/hotspot, it'll die from time to time, is there any easy to run something similar to cron to monitor tethering, or simply restart tethering and then PAW once every 30 minutes?

Thanks!

New PirateBox App

Meanwhile I have developed a stand alone app based on CyanogenMod 7.

The app is in a very early state, so there might be bugs. A download link is available inside the blog post.

well what can i say ive never done it before.

downloaded the troutmob orange theme and installed the cab. so like wheres the theme? do i have to select it from somewhere or something?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lnando84:
Have you tried soft-reseting the device after installation?

Also..You'd probably get better answers as well as faster responses by asking questions in the developers original thread instead of starting a new one.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] chrisman99:
thanks. first time didnt work then did. but using with cht so dunno if that cause and issue? trying the chts theme too, whats the diffrence?

why does the background look blurry when the image file doesnt? and why dont the images you want to set as your today background never have the option to but the others do?

and also whys the background white on the calendar when the numbers and stuff are too. cant see a thing.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] conantroutman:
ok I guess im probably the best person to try and answer your questions on this one.....

ill start with the difference between the two versions.

the one from the theme thread contains a lot more files and is a more complete theme off the sense interface, however that does mean it can be a little bit of a pain in the ass to get it set up how you like it.

the chts version which im guessing you got from the link in my sig is kind of a "light version" it only really themes the cht stuff.

my advice would probably be to read up on chtscheduler and use that version. if you want other bits from the full theme then I can make you individual cabs for those.

as long as you have cht2.0 and cht scheduler installed everything should work fine.....

instructions for the chts one are in the thread.

the blurry wallpaper could be down to settings in chteditor, try selecting hq wallpaper mode. im not sure what you mean by options to set images as your today background.

your problem with the calendar is because when we created the theme we were using roms that had black text on the calendar tab and didn't really think about those with white text. tomorrow ill make a black and orange wallpaper for you if you want......

and thanks for using the theme :D

Like AlphaRev, I am NOT responsible if your phone gets bricked.

The size is a bit bigger than the stock alpharev iso, probably because of the way I packed it, I successfully s-off'd my Bell Mobility Legend!

There was one little part, when it was flashing the HBOOT, it froze on step 3 just past the MD5 check saying flashing... OK. I waited a few mins, then rebooted my phone. All was fine, S-OFF.

Thanks to ariaxu for the necessary information to add in the alpharev script!

Link to my repacked .iso below.

http://uploading.com/files/m6c95a4d/alpharevBellMOD_rev2.iso/

MEGAUPLOAD Link

Edit: Changed the size of the iso, I forgot I had a copy of the archive inside a folder in the root of the filesystem, removed that. Now is ~20 mb smaller

Edit: To make the step process easier, use the counting method. On the first sequence that needs user interaction, count from 21, 22, 23 (3 seconds) then press power. On the second sequence, count from 21, 22, 23, 24 (4 seconds) then press power.

[Legend Android Development] qzem:
Good job man! I wish that someone will figured it out how to S-OFF phones with hboot 1.01!
[Legend Android Development] mikereidis:
Cool ! Much thanks !

Running CM7 nightly on my Virgin Legend. Didn't work last night on stock firmware, LOL. ;)

Worked first attempt, following your tips and some picked up in the main AlphaRev thread:

- wait for "HBOOT" on phone to change to "HBOOT-USB_PLUG" before hitting "Any Key".

- Count 3 seconds (1 missisippi, 2..., 3...) then hold power down for 10 seconds or so. When I did this I hit the power button SLIGHTLY before the message appeared on the screen.

And yeah, feel AWFUL nervous rebooting after the flash... Only way I found to reboot was to run "adb reboot". Didn't wanna pull batteries to reboot for sure.
[Legend Android Development] marclh1992:
I have no idea why it froze on the last step though, alpharev would probably know more if they had a Bell Legend...
[Legend Android Development] speedyink:
Successfully flashed, woot.
[Legend Android Development] el.dizzee:
Just attempted this for my Bell Legend and the counting method worked for me up until step 3 but at step 3 my timing must have been off and it got frozen when I tried to select fastboot.. Waited about 10 minutes for something to happen before finally deciding to pull the battery and then do a nandroid restore so I could try the whole thing all over again. However, after completing the restore, my phone rebooted but just stayed at the HTC boot up screen for about 20 minutes, just wouldn't boot, so I did another battery pull to try it again. Is it possible my phone is bricked?

Also, if it helps anyone, during the alpharev process I chose 'yes' when prompted to install clockworkmod recovery... should I not have?
[Legend Android Development] Kwen:
Tried deleting the cache in recovery?
[Legend Android Development] el.dizzee:
Hmm.. I didn't think to try that but doesn't the cache get overwritten anyway when I restore a backup?

UPDATE: Okay, so I tried deleting the cache and it's no good.. still unable to boot the phone, but I am still able to get into fake-flash menu.. so I'm kind of at a loss, not sure whether I am bricked or not or what to do about it
[Legend Android Development] marclh1992:
Try wiping everything on fake flash or you can try and restore using an older RUU and root again...

Sent from my S-OFF Bell Canada HTC Legend.
[Legend Android Development] el.dizzee:
Yeah, that was going to be my next course of action but luckily I determined that my nandroid backup was somehow corrupted.. I managed to restore an earlier backup with no problems. Thanks for the advice though :)
[Legend Android Development] marclh1992:
No problem! I was just scared that flashing the recovery would intentionally brick the Bell Legend. (It IS unsupported by Alpharev)
[Legend Android Development] el.dizzee:
No sweat man. Haha I decided that I'd bite the bullet and give it another go, which brings me to one more question. This time around I got through steps 1 and 2 just fine, and now at the third step I believe it's frozen at 'Flashing new bootblock: OK' just like you described in your first post.

I'm leaving it for a bit to see if it'll resolve itself on its own because I'm worried now that rebooting the phone at this stage may brick it perhaps?

For reference, my pc screen shows 'Waiting for flashing to complete...'

and on my phone it says

'Dumping old HBOOT.

Flashing Alpharev HBOOT: SUCCESS!

HBOOT Md5sum: b8c9de531c5e828abf0a8607732a9071.

Flashing new bootblock: OK'

I assume all this is normal but I'm not sure how to proceed
[Legend Android Development] marclh1992:
I have no idea why it freezes on that part for Bell Legends, but just unplug the USB and do a battery pull. You should be S-OFF.
[Legend Android Development] el.dizzee:
Haha so I was clearly too damn impatient/excited and used adb reboot as mikereidis did (too nervous to pull the battery). And it worked, I'm S-OFF, wooo!!

Thanks a lot!
[Legend Android Development] mikereidis:
Congrats !

AFAIK, if the phone comes up and does much of anything, like displaying a logo, your phone is not truly and ir-reversibly bricked.

To be truly bricked IMO, absolutely nothing would show up on screen, not even a recharging logo. I had that happen to my last phone; absolutely no sign of life.

And BTW, when I say "ir-reversibly bricked", I mean unrecoverable by the usual relatively "simple" methods most of us use. Specialized hardware and techniques can unbrick just about any phone, if you have the right hardware and/or know the special techniques.
[Legend Android Development] grcd:
Is the Bell Legend significantly different from European / normal Legend models? I have an HTC Legend bought from United Kingdom (unbranded and unlocked). Would I have a problem trying out this method? My phone comes with HBOOT 1.01 and I have not yet been able to revert it to the older one. Even flashing official RUU with Goldcard allows the entire process to go through except for step 1 (it claims that there is no need to downgrade HBOOT).
[Legend Android Development] marclh1992:
1+ HBoots are not supported yet, sorry. Even alpharev has not found out a way to S-OFF it.
[Legend Android Development] rvictorg:
I just picked up a Legend from Virgin for my gf, I myself have an X10 with Rogers. Anyways, last night I successfully made a Goldcard, flashed old firmware, rooted, and am now running BlaY0’s B 0.7 rom.

BUT I’m a total noob when it comes to HTC and this S-OFF/ON and why I should even bother trying to get S-OFF...I’ve searched obviously, but haven’t found any definitive satisfactory answers and would just appreciate a simple response.

So,

-If it’s a Virgin Legend, should I use this modified version of Alphrev’s iso for Bell?

-Why should I even bother attempting to S-OFF?

-Is Fake-flash and CWM recovery just as robust with S-ON?

Btw the phone currently has HBOOT 0.43.0003. Also any advantage of using a newer HBOOT??

Many thanks :) ...again sorry if these questions have been beat to death already, just looking for a clearer answer.
[Legend Android Development] el.dizzee:
The only real practical application of being S-OFF for her and yourself is to be able to modify/remove system apps from the phone without having to use adb shell. Fake-flash is plenty robust and even though I am S-OFF I'm still using fake-flash to enter recovery rather than permanently flashing CWM to my recovery.

But yes, if you do decide to S-OFF her phone, you'll need to use the modified alpharev for Bell. If you're going to attempt to flash it, remain with the HBOOT you have, because I don't think you can S-OFF HBOOT 1.00 or higher. Plus the process will upgrade your HBOOT anyway.. the S-OFF procedure is flashing a new HBOOT to your phone.

Dears,

I have looked into many pages about how to cook Rom, but I found none easy enough to be understood by beginners. I am also not a very familiar one with cooking Rom.

It would be great if someone take the initiative and start writing some simple straight complete guides about cooking Rom. I think we all like to learn how to do so, and to build our own Rom for our htc hd mini.

Thanks in Advance,

The problem is the source code hasn't been dropped yet, so if it was based off the sdk it'll be slow and have no Google apps, plus it probably wont run well on our screen size.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
Well when you run the SDK version in an emulator and optimize for mobile screen res, honeycomb UI reverts back to standard Android UI so maybe it has a built in mobile version.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zarathustrax:
Ice cream cone is the next update for phones, it won't be long before that's released. Honeycomb does include code for reverting the screen to phone resolution, but from what people can tell, it isn't finished and is probably included as a starting point for future versions where the phone and tablet can both use the same build. Honeycomb probably won't be compatible with phones, at least not now or with a lot of work. A later 3.x version of android may work with both tablets and phones.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sbob303:
what version is the ice cream gonna be and whats the improvement, anyone knows, thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] orangekid:
no one is really sure, some say 2.4, and some say 3.x, since Honeycomb will supposedly support phones as well, it wouldn't make sense to go backwards in the version numbers, we'll just have to wait and see. .
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
Ice-cream is definitely 2.4, and Honeycomb is 3.0. Honeycomb is aimed at larger screens (tablets) so may not be suitable for some phones (but it will still run, if you can get it installed). Ice-cream is aimed at phones, not tablets, so it will be easier for devs to port over to the device of their choice (HD2 please ;)).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Danation:
You guys act like you know for sure. No offense, but you don't. There has been no official word about HoneyComb on phones and no official word about Ice Cream at all.

It is my opinion that Google would not restrict it's Android versions to a set of numbers (i.e. 2.x for phones, 3.x for tablets.) That would make no sense. It is also my opinion that 2.4 will be Gingerbread still, much like 2.0 and 2.1 were Eclair. I'm guessing a major version change, such as 3.5 or 4.0 will merge the phone and tablet branches into Ice Cream. But I'm not "sure" about anything.

The Dell Streak has had HoneyComb ported to it. It seems like it wouldn't be a stretch to put it on this phone, too, even if it's not meant for a 4.3" screen.
