[Q] USB Internet passthrough from Linux - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I've googled and searched the forum for this and can't find anything that works for the Desire HD.
The phone comes with an option to use the PC's internet connection through the usb interface. When I enable this on the phone the usb0 interface pops up on the computer. I've tried various bridging and natting alternatives, but everything ends up with the phone complaining that htc sync isn't set up right. I've tried askimng HTC what the phone expects but they just say that they don't support Linux. Grrr!
Anybody succeeded in getting this working or can say exactly what the phone expects to see on the pc side?

I thought it was the other way around (PC using the phone's connection) ?
Edit: Link.

Both are possible. PC using phone's connection is called "Tethering" and Phone using PC's connection is called "Internet passthrough".
There are recipes for foolong a "Nexus One" into reversing the tethering solution so that it connects to the internet through the PC, but the HD seems to have blocked this.
We have a Wifi-Free home, so this really is the only way of connecting the phone to the internet without using valuable 3G data traffic.

Apologies, I didn't know.
I took a look around, maybe you've tried this already but here it is (scroll down to post #53). Good luck!

Thanks. Looks promising. From Post #53 it looks as if I should be able to do this from adb, although earlier posts in the thread mention busybox and root, neither of which I have on the phone. Have in any case not used adb to connect before so may ask for help here if I can't find out how to do it.
Thanks very much for the suggestion.

For root you can search for the app "Visionary" in the market, I'm not sure if it installs busybox too though (but you can find that in the market as well).
Also make sure you have USB Debugging enabled in the settings.
You're most probably going to need the ADB drivers as well, but i think they're shipped with HTC Sync. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks, now have adb access (with root . Next problem is that my linux box always assigns an APIPA (zeroconf) address to the usb interface. Can't remove it or specify a static IP for the next connection.

Unfortunately I can't help you or suggest anything else for the time being. I'll be switching to Archlinux tonight (for the 150th time) and will hopefully have my device within this week. So if you don't figure it out by then, I'll give it a shot.

I think it can be done quite easily using the Firestarter application. Too busy playing Black Ops to confirm that the method I have in mind works but I will try it out later and if I'm right I will post a how to.

I'd be very interested to hear how you get on phunkycow. The APIPA problem seems to be debian sid related. On my wife's Ubuntu laptop I can configure both interfaces and ping between the phone and the pc. Didn't have time to figure out routing and dns.

I now have this working on Ubuntu. Debian still gives me a zeroconf address on the pc's usb interface.
Next problem is that to script this as suggested in post #53 I think I need a different su or sudo on the phone as sudo and su -c both give me permission denied.
Any other ways of running remote commands as root using adb?

Working perfectly on Ubuntu when I run through the commands interactively. Next job is to script it. The only possible caveat is that I seem to have to run the adb commands as root, however a quick test indicates that this is probably doable just by piping each adb shell command to su.
Will post back with the findings and the script (when I'm happy with it).

Piping to su doesn't work unfortunately, so I need to think again.
Any tips on scripting adb shell commands to run as root?

Another problem (after setting this up interactively) is that only some apps even attempt to connect to the internet this way.
Web browser shows error about not being able to connect first time, but then connects anyway. Ditto Google earth.
Phone update refuses to connect and asks for wifi or mobile network to be turned on.
Skype can't sign in.
I'm wondering whether some apps look for a particular property to be set and refuse to connect if it's not there??
A hot candidate might be [init.svc.netsharing_pass]???
Any comments?

Hi,
I installed bash and su from su-2.3.2.1-ef-signed.zip, which I moved to /system/bin
which su shows that that's what's being used.
I was hoping that this would give me the possibility to run su with switches (ie su -c "command"), and only use adb to invoke a script on the phone with the rest of the commands. Unfortunately fails on both counts :-(
Does anyone know of other su utilities out there that are more like the Linux version?
Cheers!

The answer seems to be gscript.
Phone side commands can be scripted to run on the phone, requires manually finding and running the script from the phone's UI.
Now if there were a way to invoke it through adb ... !

hi Learnincurve,
can you please briefly post, what you did to use the internet-passthrough? i cant figure it out with my desire z...
thanks!

m1l4droid, you are using the internet passthrough with ubuntu just like that? what am I doing wrong...?

Hello everyone.. I can see that the thread hasn't been updated for some time.. but still, has anyone founded an easy way to use "internet pass-through" option on linux? I have read the thread, but I am not very familiar with the terms "adb" etc. I am using Desire HD rom (InsertCoin HD Port 1.8f), on an "small" Desire... And the linux edition is Ubuntu 10.10... Thanx in advance..

wouldnt you be able to access an ad-hoc wifi network with your custom rom? so the only thing for you to do was to setup the ad-hoc wifi at the pc and connect with your phone...
for the usb-passthrough I still dont have a solution, neither.

[Q] Verizon HTC Incredible

Hi, I'm trying to remove all those annoying pre-loaded aps that VZW put on my phone. I attempted to run the unrevoked3 root + flash thingy and it got hung up part way through - phone still works, and the phone IS rooted. I installed a terminal emulator and saw that all the pre-loaded aps only have "R" access which is why I cannot remove them.
I've tried using "chmod -r 777 <program>" and I get a "failed" message. I've tried the simple "rm /system/app/amazon*" and it tells me it's a read-only file (still). Can anyone help me? I've got some experience with linux and command line, but am still not very good with it and this is my first time attempting to root/hack my phone.
I've got the HTC Incredible running the latest 2.3 gingerbread.
Try to get BUsy Box and see if you have super user access, cuz since you said it hung up half way, chances are your phone did not root completely
Im pretty sure it has been rooted. I downloaded an emulator and when I type "su" the command line goes $->#. Someone else had this similar problem but they wanted to install a different ROM and I just want to remove useless aps. That being said I wasn't able to make any use out of his solution.
I should also point out that a super user icon is now in my aps window. I open it and its just a black screen, possibly because I haven't given anything root access yet?

try installing rom manager from the app store and see if it ask you for permission
Ok, I installed that, but it didn't ask me for permission...is there something I have to adjust in the April itself?

if it didnt ask for permission, that means your phone is not rooted, as Clockwork recovery needs permission to use, reroot? or ask in the incredible forum?
Yeah, guess I'll try to reroot. Not sure why the unrevoked3 root didn't work. Will try and post any details about failed tasks during the root process.
Thanks

I've seen this thread before and since forgot about it. Thanks for posting it. I assume in order to do what they say in the thread (meaning run the adb shell), you need to root your phone
?
Sorry for taking so long to report back...busy time of year!
As it turns out, my phone actually WAS rooted despite running into the previously posted comments. I was attempting to start over and in doing so, downloaded SDK, JDK and proceeded to mount my phone using adb. All I had to do was reboot my phone in recovery mode and then mount /system. Voila! I have since moved all the useless bloat to a disabled folder...
My next question is this: How do I enable tethering and mobile hotspot?
Thanks for your help.
Wireless tether for root users is a pretty baller app. I show it off once in a while at work when someone flashes their ipad around. The speed is solid.

Is that the name of the ap? Or how can I enable it? I've been told that the pre-loaded mobile hotspot still will not for rooted phones and you need to download a 3rd party ap?
Just searched the "wireless tether" in the market and found it...it says it requires "Netfilter-enabled kernel" What's that mean? I'm still running the stock ROM (2.3 gingerbread). I don't know that I want to run a new ROM....
I downloaded and installed both "wireless tether" and "barnacle" just to try out both. I can view my mobile hotspot on other devices, and I can even connect them to my phone. On the iPhone (4g), I can get what appears to be everything but youtube. On my laptop I can't get any internet signal...
In either tethering ap, I cannot view who/what is connected (i.e. my laptop or iPhone). Any ideas? Are there limitations to these aps?

I have Barnacle for my Wi-Fi tether and it tells me who is connected to my phone (there should be a "Clients" tab). Do you have any encryption enabled?
I password protected my wireless hotspot and then used both the iPhone and laptop to connect to it, once they connected I tried viewing who was connected to my hotspot in both barnacle and the wireless tether and neither of them would say another device is connected.

[GUIDE] Iconia A100 ROOT and AD-HOC wi-fi enabled

Hi everybody. I've bought my A100 one month ago and i've rooted and added ad-hoc patch for it in order to have internet through wm cellphone.
i've rooted with this guide
androidforums.com/iconia-tab-a100-all-things-root/401598-rooting-a100.html
and added ad-hoc with this one:
batista70phone.com/2011/05/supporto-per-reti-ad-hoc-su-acer-iconia-a500/ (is in italian, if you need english tell me, I can translate it)
To avoid problems open the page from the tablet and copy/paste the commands, and remeber to SWITCH OFF WIFI AS SOON AS POSSIBLE before playing with the wifi files!!
I've also added to my winmo phone ( diamond ) WMWifiRouter in orde to share the connection from 3g on the phone to wi-fi on the tablet.
Everything works. You have only to start WMWiFiRouter on diamond or other wm6 device and than looking in the wifi list on tablet for the wireless just created ( Office Lan....etc ).
For convenience activate on cellphone "wifi always on" also if "display is off" trough Diamond Tweaks.
I hope this can be useful for someone else ;-)

still having problems with ad hoc access
i followed the instructions to root the tablet. this worked fine. i then followed instructions to replace the wpa_supplicant file with the one found on this forum for the motorola xoom that is meant to give ad hoc capabilities. i know the file replaced fine as the way the a100 behaves with regards wireless has changed. before there seemed to be a bug that it would always turn off the wireless when the screen went off no matter what the wireless behavior settings were. now it never turns off wireless even if the screen goes off.
if i set up a wireless network from my laptop using the intel My Wifi software if connects fine with WPA, it did this out the box. however if i set up an ad hoc netork on my laptop it will not connect correctly.
1. If I use WPA it just keeps saying connecing ---disconncted repeatedly
2. If I use WEP or no encryption it gets to the point of obtaining an ip address but never gets any further.
I have only tried with DHCP
Also with the ad hoc network it seems to make multiple networks in the wireless networks on the tab.
I was hoping someone could give me some specific help on this and maybe some up to date advice on the usbb host issue.
Thanks in advance.
thanks for your help yes it seems i am the only one who is still having problems! i am working on a ship now and maybe the server here is causing issues. i will be home tomorrow and can try then.
when you set up your ad hoc in windows do you select WPA or WEP, funny I thought ad hoc only had WEP security. why does w7 offer WPA on ad hoc?
thanks andy
thanks I tested at home. Still can't connect with adhoc on my laptop with wep wpa or no authentication but works fine on my huwei e585 which is a bit of a mystery I will try and fine another laptop to test it with.....thanks for your support though.......do you know any solution to the USB host issue on the a100?
hi there is another issue with the a100 i was hoping to solve. you cannot mount a usb device like a thumb drive on it. the a500 had a standard pc type usb port and you could mount a usb drive on it. although you can get a mini usb male to ubs female 'usb on the go' cable apparently it wont work on the a100. i have seen some feedback regarding this on blogs but no solutions. any ideas? Andy
ad hoc again
hi again...have juts discovered that my huwei e585 modem actually provides infrastructure not ad hoc which is why my a100 tablet works with it. i think i still have a problem with ad hoc on my a100. i went through the process of getting the new wpa_supplicant file in /system/bin and i checked it has the same permisions as the original file but still no luck...can anyone help? I still cant connect my a100 to an ad hoc network provided by my laptop.
yes, i used root explorer to copy the wpa_supplicant and I made sure I had the airplane mode on and wireless off when I did it.I just tried the whole process again and the same result. my a100 has android 3.2. I also made sure the permissions are exactly the same as the original file.
Andy
Hello. I am an Android newb. I have been trying to correct this issue for over a week to no avail. Please advice.
I've tried rooting my A100 by inputting (copy/paste) the proper commands on the a100 itself in a terminal emulator, but have had no success. The commands cause no obvious response when entered into the terminal, but when I checked xbin for su, it's there. I've installed the superuser apk, but busybox install fails due to lack of root. Repeating the process doesn't change anything.
I've also tried rooting via the ADB method. The results are the same. su is in xbin folder; however, I cannot install busybox because I am not rooted.
The last bit of info I can provide about my situation is this. I have root checker installed on my A100. I do not get the same result each time I click "verify root". Sometimes it tells me that I'm rooted and sometimes it tells me that I'm not rooted????
Please let me know if I can provide any additional information. I need some help please.

These are the same commands that I have previously entered via terminal emulator and I tried again via ADB method. I have tried multiple times.
I'm not sure what you mean by "You must have to copy moded su to your sd card , /mnt/sdcard". Are you referring to the su file in my xbin folder? If so, I cannot copy it because I am not rooted. Every time I execute the aforementioned commands, the su file in my xbin folder gets modified. The size of the su file in my xbin folder is 0.00K, is this normal?
Thanks for responding, please offer further guidance if you can.
hi i am no expert but i got the root to work fine with these instructions. as long as you copied the new su file to your xbin folder the third command on the list should take care of everything.
then you have to do the busybox and super user thing
Step 6: Install BusyBox from the Market
Step 7: Install SuperUser from the market, this is the APK version this time. This is going to update the SU file and install the SuperUser app.
thanks i got it now
Hi,

[Guide] ADB connection between two Android devices

Probably not breaking any ground here (since in hindsight it was blatantly obvious), but I thought I would share anyways...
I own several Android devices, and I'm always playing. well, tonight I was tweaking a few things over adb and got to wondering if I could use adb to connect from one Android device to another. Well, turns out it's pretty easy, if you're rooted...
Both devices need to be connected to the same wireless network.
Install adbWireless from the Playground (sorry, Play Store): https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwyLDEsInNpaXIuZXMuYWRiV2lyZWxlc3MiXQ..
You only really need it on the receiving device, but I have it on everything anyway.
Copy the Linux adb binary into /system/xbin/ and set the permissions to 755 (rwxr_xr_x), and reboot.
You only really need to do this on the controlling device, but may as well do it on all.
Fire up adbWireless on the receiving device, grant root privileges, and note the IP address
Fire up a Terminal Emulator on the other device, and enter: adb connect <IP address from other device> (you typically don't need to add the :5555 on the end.
Job done! Pretty handy when working from a slate!
I also run dd-wrt firmware on my router, which let's me assign static IPs by MAC address, so the IP for the devices are always the same.
Regards - dr
adb binary is already built in, /system/bin/adb.
besides that, all that's left is get adbd running, and that can be achieved either by an app (like you suggest) or edit init.rc to have adbd as one shot service to allow manual start (doesn't boot with the system). cyanogenmod also has adbd over wireless done like this.
also, one could use an OTG cable to connect devices directly, while i agree adb over wireless is good, adb over ssh would be best.
Valid points.
The adb in /system/bin is a less functional version than the standard Linux binary (94kb versus 156kb); kinda similar to the chown binary, where the recursive function doesn't work...
I'll concede to the rest though...

Hi - Where can I get this more functional binary that's half the size of a standard linux binary? I've tried two, they are both around 330Kb, and they fail to run with error "non executable: magic 7F45" because they were not compiled for my ARMV71 processor. I ran chmod 755 on it and when I check the permissions it is executable (-rwxr-xr-x). Can you post a link to the one that's 156kb - I can't find it.

Hey guys,
Now, I have a tablet (running android) and is rooted already (so, I'm ready to get any needed binary on my device). It supports OTG. When I plug in my phone (rooted) using OTG to my tablet, my phone says 'Android debugging enabled' in notifications, is also charging. When I go to TE (Terminal Emulator) of my tab and type: 'adb devices', it displays no device in the list of attached devices (obvious).
And yes, my tab has got OTG host modules in kernel because when I turn on USB mass storage on (in my phone), my tab detects it and I can use it.
Now, my question:
Can I actually do this? i.e., using adb in my tablet (for my phone) via OTG?
Can we run adb from the device to detect itself?
I'm sure you can see why this would be amazing and powerful.. possibly giving root to apps on non-rooted devices with adb's run-as com.package.apk and such?
Is this possible? To have adb run on the Android device and connect to itself? If it is, can you guide me to where to learn it?

Running console over adblink

I'm totally new to this, and I'm having trouble finding the info I need, sorry for the basic questions here.
I got my Toshiba Edition Fire TV connected via abdlink via the IP address.
Once it connects, the 'Enable USB Debugging' window pops up on the TV, which I authorize. adblink tells me it's unauthorized and to click 'refresh adb', so I do.
It seems to be functioning and the TV is listed under connected devices, but when I try to open the console, it pops up and immediately closes. If I try to run the abd shell, the console pops up but I can't type anything into it. All of the other functions seem to be working.
I'm trying to disable the banner ads using the command lines found on the forum here in one of the threads. I don't have Kodi installed yet, is that necessary to use the command console? I haven't downloaded anything else, all I have is abdlink, do I need the developer sdk installed or anything else aside from adblink?
Thanks, any help is very much appreciated, I know this is basic stuff. Even more basic, do I install the 32bit apk or the 64bit kodi apk?
I would try a reboot of PC and TV since initial connection. If you store the IP in adblink and make that first connection, allowed on TV it should store that and not have to again (that's how it is on my ftv box). Then try running adblink as admin before connecting.
As for Kodi, install 64bit. If it successfully installs than you have 64bit chip/OS. If it gets parsing error it means you don't... Install 32bit.

Could I ask you, is Fire TV able to access my Windows 7 shares? I have it set up on Windows, but no Fire TV apps find the shares, I can't find any way to do it... Thanks.
Also when I try to use remote manager from ES Explorer, Windows tells me it cannot access the files and to make sure I have permissions.
Edit nevermind ADB works now.

Debloating

After TWRP and MAGISK is installed on my phone and achieving root, does anyone know of any guides or lists of apps that are safe to delete from my Moto G Fast? I found a list online with the commands to delete them, but it seems there would be so much more that can be removed. I ran the pm list packages command in shell, and the size of the list was incredible. After installing an SD card and moving pictures, etc. and doing a google search for deleting apps I found were safe to delete, I've regained significant amount of internal storage space. But of course I'd like to do more. Thank you to all.
Well, it's been interesting. After learning about the debloater, I've been trying to get my Moto G Fast to be recognized in MINT, LMDE 5. I've read probably a hundred posts from people having the same problem, but no one seems to have the solution. I am trying to connect via USB, but no luck. It is so easy in Windows to get your phone to appear as a device, but no matter what I tried, nothing works. Someone out there has to have the "solution" to this problem. Please help
Update: I spent a lot of time trying to figure this out. Countless hours searching for the solution. I tried installing Ubuntu, Lubuntu, and Mint as guest programs with no success. So, finally, I uninstalled the Virtual Box emulator (oracle), and found that version 9 of VMware will work on my old computer running Windows 7 ultimate. SUCCESS. Running Mint through VMware identifies my phone and it shows up in ADB devices, in the VMware program, and in the list after the LSUSB command. Never would have thought that it was the emulator program causing the problem, but it seems that way in my case.
One other hint, if you decide to use VMware, and you apt-get adb and get it to work, use the snapshot feature. This way the next time you boot it up, the ADB that was installed will still be there. I've found that it doesn't seem to automatically save changes to your guest program, and if you don't take a snapshot of your system, you have to reinstall ADB every time you use it.
