Did someone successfully installed OpenVPN on a (rooted) Z1 compact?
Are there any TUN modification necessary or does it run out of the box with the OpenVPN installer in Google Play?

I wasn't able to get it running but it's possible I did something wrong, as it works fine on my tablet z
Also if you're running your own vpn server I'd recommend switching to SoftEther VPN as it supports the built in android l2tp/ipsec vpn and is also much easier to set up
Thank you for your reply.
Currently I have only an OpenVPN server at home (and franky, I'm quite happy with it) :cyclops:
By now I have my z1 compact and rooted it with still locked bootloader.
The OpenVPN installer from the store does not work, because it cannot mount /system/xbin as r/w.
I have the binary on my old phone, copied it to the new phone and moved it to the /system/xbin directory with RootExplorer.
Of course I had to mount the /system/xbin as r/w with Root Explorer and make the file executable.
The VPN tunnel is up and works fine, except DNS resolution to my home DNS server. Obviously the phone does not even try to use the DNS server. I guess the home DNS server is not added to the DNS server list in the operating system. Bad luck )
Quick follow-up:
I switched to the app "OpenVPN for Android" instead of "OpenVPN Installer" / "OpenVPN Settings" and now everything is working really good.
It hasn't been necessary to be rooted for VPN since ics I believe.

Just to directly answer the question though... Yes OpenVPN support is enabled on the Sony stock kernel. I extracted the defconfig of the stock sony kernel and I can see
Code:
CONFIG_TUN=y
Hi, I have a rooted ouya running the latest stock fw. I am loving the device but had been looking for a way to control my ouya over the network if (which commonly happens) the ouya remote desyncs, and I don't have a spare usb keyboard mouse lying around to resync it.
I tried sideloading lanmote but I got an error with the license so removed it and rebooted the ouya. Since then the ouya contoller buttons won't respond and neither will a USB keyboard. I still have root ftp access (ftpdroidpro), and the touchpad on the ouya mostly works for navigating the menus.
I gather I have damaged some controller setting somewhere when installing lanmote as it had root access. What are my options to get it up and running again. Is there a file I can ftp over to fix this, I have full root access over ftp.
Thanks

Try and make sure all the keymap files LANmote installed into your system partition are removed.
You can find the list at this link
http://lanmote.idea.informer.com/proj/?ia=63302
LANmote doesn't do anything else to your device other than install those keymap files.
If you are going to install the paid version of LANmote, you need to make sure your device is running the same Google Play/market account you have purchased LANmote or it will not work.
Hi Guy,
I recently buy a Android TV Philips PUS7909. It's an android tv based with 4.2.2 on board, unfortunatly Philips make the choice to block LOTS of android function...
I can't install unallowed apps, enabling dev mod....
I just want to know if someone here have this tv, or another philips android tv, and if someone can root it etc etc
Yes i know, it's not even christmas , but maybe someone can do amazing thing on android tv, specially on xda !
Hi,
I've a 48PFS8159 and could not find a way too.
My dream is the possibilty to install kodi/xbmc !
And something like Retroarch with the possibility to connect a dualshock
I too have a PUS7909/12 Android TV and I was disappointed by several things, one of them being unable to install most of Store apps. Rooting would be great as at least it would allow to install .apk files.
New update for this tv soon :
The new Firmware will soon be live.
AND1E_0.9.32.118 (Date published: 2014-11-21)
• HDMI EDID adaptions for Full HD <-> Ultra HD interoperability ( DISCONNECT HDMI cables before starting the upgrade)
• 3D fixes
Maybe we can do something with the update files.....
Should Philips provide the source code of its Android implementation? Are they under the obligation to provide it?

Hi,
I read one comment from Finnish netshop, it's for 55pus8809 model:
1. Install "Developer Tools" from play shop
2. Choose "Developer settings"
3. Switch developer options "on"
4. And "Show more apps in Google Play"
5. Reboot TV
Install "Set orientation" from play to orientation problems, switch "Landscapen" on.
I don't have Philips TV, but planning to buy one
Here is link to source, I don't know how it works...

I tried this, and it's true that some more apps are shown. Would be great to load apk files, but there is no "unknown sources" option...
I have the Philips 48PFS8109.
Developer options are enabled, but there is just no way to enable 'unknown sources'.
With the Google Search function the Settings options is not showing (it works on phones if you search settings)
Not a single application is compatible that gives me a shortcut to settings.
If i try to install an .apk file i get the message you need to go to settings and allow it. There is an Settings and Cancel, but if i press on settings nothing happens.
Does someone know a way to call up the settings menu with Therminal Emulator?
I already updated the tv but do you guys think its possible to just add an .apk file in the .upg file?
I can change the .upg to .zip and add an app in the system folder.

Hi,
that sounds good
I had a look into the updater-binary (firmware/manual/ambilight-fix update zip file) and the firmware is, as we already know, encrypted.
When you have a look with IDA Demo (hex-rays.com) you can see that the encryption key is taken from: "/res/keyfile.txt" which must remain somewhere on the TV.
AES-256-CBC is used and the key/IV is somehow, depends on the content of the keyfile.txt, MD5 sum of the content lines (e.g. one for key, one for IV).

I was on vacation for two weeks and i don't check this topic and what the hell is going on !
What a surprise for me to see what you do here !
Thanks a lot guys !
-----EDIT-------
The method to allow unknow source and install apk via adb working, thank you !
Tryed to install xbmc/ kodi but the launch and just crash, so bad. But that sound good !
-----EDIT 2------
There is a bluetooth option..... i can't connect my dualshock 3 on the tv because we need root for sixaxis controller app..... let's go to install some emulator !
------EDIT 3------
So... After some test, i was able to connect the duaslhock 3 controller in usb, BUT not all touch is recognised. So i can't play Mario Bros on Retroarch. I think i need another controller.
Kodi v14 lastest nightly boot but crash at home screen.
That's all for the moment !

Someone have try to install a video player that can handle 4K files ?
I have the '48PFS8109/12' and tryed also some things.
- 13.2 Gotham XBMC (kodi) not working, my tv starts the app and after a few seconds the app crashs and the tv volume goes to 60.
- Kodi 14.0 “Helix” – RC 2 not working, my tv starts the app and after a few seconds the app crashs and the tv volume goes to 60.
- Kodi 14.0 “Helix” – Nightly not working, my tv starts the app and after a few seconds the app crashs and the tv volume goes to 60.
I use 'MX Player' with the DTS codec, i don't know if that player can handle 4K, i know that they say KODI can do 4K.
hi Guys,
i have some questions here and i seriously need your help.
I'm a RC-Model enthusiast and i own a Remote Control Transmitter manufactured by JR Japan.
This RC Transmitter is operated by an Android System (4.0.3).
http://www.jrpropo.com/english/propo/28x/
Unfortunately JR Japan has gone bancrupcy and so the production and support for the 28x is gone and no further development will be done.
The mayor point is:
I'd like to hack this thing... meaning first:
- get root access
- do a full rom backup
- install SuperSu App or anything else like that
- activate Bluetooth (disabled by factory)
- reverse engenieer the apps any modify them if possible. every app seems to control some registers on another board (main RF-Board). so for example there is an app called "subtrim". With this app you can modify the neutral pulse which is send to the receiver via the RF board.
- so i got adb access and shell already and tried some things.
- can install various apps and download the installed apps
but without root everything else is worthless.
so the speciality is:
there seems to be a Texas Instruments Board inside. I researched this one AM335X-EVM-SK (http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/AM335X_EVM-SK_Android_Devkit_Guide) --> system info
On this Board/the Components Android 4.0.3 is runnig.
I Figured out that there isn't a normal bootloader because you can't boot into bootloader via ADB Shell.
I'm scared about using the "standard" root apps/methods, because i think the special Mainboard and Booting method isn't compatible to anything else compareable in the "Mobile-World".
--> soloution?
--> what further infos do we need?
another thing is the bluetooth activation
if you enter the following comands @ via ADB Shell, you can try to get Bluetooth enabled - but there isn't an option to click "yes" on the display, when the system asks for the permission to enable BT. only some display thatr bluetooth can be enabled, but nothing else happens. Normal BT activiation isn't in the settings menu!
Code:
adb shell am start -a android.bluetooth.adapter.action.REQUEST_ENABLE
Code:
adb shell am start -a android.bluetooth.adapter.action.REQUEST_DISCOVERABLE
so i think bluetooth is inactivated somewhere deep inside the kernel. and without root access .... you know what i mean.
if i install the superSu ap, it doesn't work because the device isn't rooted.
it would be very great if someone can help me and tell me what things we can do, to hack this thing.
I'm not a developer (yet) but i have some serious interest to get inside and learn how the things work here.
Thank you so far guys
regards
Does anyone know how to root an Impex smart TV
Specs—————-
Shown below and attached.
A spec report generated by Droid Info application. It is attached below.
I have explicitly tried one click root apps and other methods with no avail. E.g Kingroot, Kingoroot etc.
I cannot use ADB because the default android settings app is blocked/removed replaced by a basic settings app with only 4 options.
I cannot grant any special settings or permissions.
I would like someone to help me find a way to access settings or help me root the tv so I can grant permissions to apps and remove some of the restrictions of impex on the tv.
I have noticed that the board or CPU manufacturer is Hisilicon, a branch of Huawei and I cannot find any way to bypass the default settings app or gain specific permissions.
Thanks from Keno
