hi all,
i'd like to use OpenVPN on my new HTC One.
I think, I got it rooted following the guide in howto htc-one-root/, using the One_All-In-One_Kit. Also I installed CWM and flashed the root-su-files.
Afterwards I tried to install Busybox via google play, which failed presumably because of the read-only filesystem (I am not sure, but I think...). So i used CWM and BusyBox_v1.20.2r2-linusyang-signed and luckily installed busybox in /system/xbin with symbolic links.
Now I struggle to install the OpenVPN-binaries, provided in the market by OpenVPN-Installer (Friedrich Schäuffelhut). But this fails: The OpenVPN-Installer fails with "binary not installed", although the log shows no error message and ends with "success!".
Does anybody know, what I can do?
Regards
CJC

I have wasted more than 3 days trying to figure out how to configure openvpn
on S2.
I tried the following roms:
Villainrom 1.4
Cognition S2 v1.07
Skyrom 1.0
Lite'ning Rom v1.5
and none of them seems to work.
I tried everything mentioned in :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1115984&highlight=openvpn
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074492&highlight=openvpn
but openvpn does not work.
I also own a HTC desire and configuration files work without a problem.
I tried manually installing openvpn as described in the posts but it does not work.
The problems are:
If I install openvpn manually as described in the threads above it does not connect to the openvpn server.
I installed openvpn from the market by selecting the folder for the binary
/system/xbin
and tried all the possibilities for path for ifconfig/route.
- /system/bin
- /system/xbin
- /system/xbin/bb
The default folder for ifconfig/route should be /system/bin (result from which ifconfig) and only that selection does not give the horrible
"FATAL: Linux ifconfig failed: could not execute external program".
but openvpn still does not work.
Any ideas ?
Hello,
I have the same problem, with same error
but I have successfully get connected to my vpn (vpntunnel.se) but its useless since the route doesnt use the vpn connection.
If anyone could help...
i have same problem too. some help would be good
Could this help?
I'd love to get this working too but I have not made any attempts yet so I'm monitoring this thread.
Searching for that exact error message on google led me to this thread which you may already have found.
In particular, even though it's about the galaxy i5800, the following comment may shed some light:
you may not use the pre-installed busybox from samsung (which is found in /sbin). It is a reduced version of busybox that does not include suitable ifconfig- and route-commands for openvpn. thus you have to install a full version of busybox... normally this is done, when you root your phone according to descriptions found in this forum.
you can alternatively install titanium backup (which installs its own busybox) and copy the "full" busybox from titanum backup to /system/xbin.

Alright, so after going nutts (several times) I solved this issue (several times) only to always find I dont really know what the error is. But then again, I know more about Geological disasters than I know about Android ...
Anyways, heres my solution which appears to work. However, it goes away once you reboot (easily fixed) and disappears completely after you update firmware - but I made shortcuts.
The thing is, that the original busybox is not installed where openvpn looks for it. Regardless of this, openvpn has no idea how to use ifconfig / route commands in /system/bin directory.
So this is what I do:
1) Install busybox (from the market, get ver 1.19) to /system/xbin
2) Install openvpn to /system/xbin and point ifconfig/route to /system/xbin/bb (during installation).
3) Link the new busybox to the /bb directory MANUALLY with these commands (customized to steps 1/2 - you can change them to your liking but dont forget to update step 3 as well):
ln -s /system/xbin/busybox /system/xbin/bb/ifconfig
ln -s /system/xbin/busybox /system/xbin/bb/route
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What it does is place a busybox link to ifconfig and route in /bb directory.
Funny thing - Whenever I tried linking ifconfig/route to other places (like /system/xbin) it just didn't work. It made the tunnel, but tun0 int was always down (thats why it says "connect to as xx.xx.xx.xx" missing the tunnel internal IP - as in, no routing).
Challanges - when you soft reset, something dies. Not sure if its the busybox or the links. However, simply "reinstalling" busybox to /system/xbin solves it (its not really reinstalling, its just going into the busybox installer. Its only recreating links).
When you install an update/new cfw, everything dies. Reinstall busybox and re-enter the link commands.
Hope this helps, hope some android programmer tells me why it works this way. gluck.
Hi! Sorry if this question was already asked, but I couldn't find something related..
I have SGS2 XXKG3, so I've downloaded Chainfires's rooted kernel XXKG3 and successfully flashed it. Then I tried to install SUFBS (root file manager and terminal) and it told me that I don't have busybox when I tried to mount /system as r/w. Also it offered to install free busybox from Market. I agreed.
Everything seemed to be OK until I found that droidwall cannot show me the log - it tells "dmesg: applet not found". Little research discovered that I have symlink /sbin/dmesg which refers to busybox. But my version of busybox doesn't support dmesg. Also I'd found normal dmesg (ELF-executable) under (probably, I don't remember) /system/bin. So I deleted the symlink (/sbin/dmesg) and everything worked OK again. But.. till reboot. After reboot the /sbin/dmesg was there again.
Little more research and I found that now I have two versions of busybox on my SGS2: one from Chainfire's kernel (dated 2009) and one that I've installed myself (dated 2011, sep). The latter (2011) has about 1.5 times more functions that Chainfire's. But 2009 has dmesg function whereas 2011 hasn't.
So here is the question: why /sbin/dmesg is automatically restored after boot? And what can I do to prevent it from restoring?
Also, do I need to do something to remove one copy of busybox or two of them will live OK with each other?
Guys, please help... I can't now write to developers' forums since I don't have enough posts, so my only hope is to write here
I thought I'd post this...even though I'm a noob...so that others can benefit if possible. If you're using the JRummy BusyBox installer, please be careful with the Advanced Install option. Here's why:
After rooting my phone I installed JRummy's BusyBox installer. First, after checking busybox.net for the latest stable install version, I did a full install without the symlink apps option selected. Then I did another full install with the symlink apps option checked. Finally, after reading through the entire list of available commands and what they did, I decided to do an advanced install. I selected "Remove Symlinks" for each of the busybox commands I wanted NOT to have available in Terminal Emulator.
Soon after the advanced installation, I noticed that Terminal Emulator wasn't working. Then I noticed that my WiFi connection wasn't working...specifically the part in which the phone attempts to lease an address using DHCP. After emailing the developer with my issue, I tried to re-install BusyBox manually based on a link he included in the reply. I could push the file to the phone using 'adb push' but when I tried to open a shell to run the install commands, I would get the following error: exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) . Long story short, I had to re-flash the phone using Odin to fix it.
In the AFWall+ logs, around the time I ran the Advanced Install, there were a bunch of entries like this: ld_library_path=/vendor/lib:/system/lib busybox rm /system/xbin/strings exit. There may have been a -s after the 'rm' command and before the directory but I'm not completely sure. After I flashed the phone with Odin, I opened Root Explorer and took a look at the files under /system/bin/. I noticed that the commands that can be run without installing busybox...like ls, or ifconfig...were linked to 'toolbox'. /system/bin/sh was linked to mksh.
After more research and reading, I'm about 90% sure what happened. Here's an excerpt from the email I sent to the developer:
<snip>
Basically, the "Remove Symlinks" option in your app does either one of two things:
It removes the directories entirely
It removes the symlinks to busybox, but doesn't restore the original symlinks that were present before busybox was installed.
<snip>
So if you're using this particular installer, please be careful with the Advanced Option.
Please help

OMG... i installed busybox with this app into /system/xbin on my dopo d7015 with advanced install... and then the problems started... 0 total internal size, wifi not acquiring ip with dhcp ... no factory restore could fix it. then i eventually learned that /system/bin/sh didn't exist when trying to adb shell. i've downloaded an sh binary and copied it, now i have valid internal total size, and android terminal works... but wifi won't even turn on now! like an idiot i didn't backup before i started playing with the tablet... i have no clue as to how to fix it! please someone help me!
With one version of this app, it said Busy box 1.20.x is not compatible for my phone. But busy box installer by Stericson does the job perfectly.

Hey there guys I've been looking around and wanted to mess with the app dspolit I have a samsung galaxy tablet 3 I have installed BusyBox version 1.2.1 on my tablet. I then reboot my device and try to open dspolit and it gives me the same error I am using the pro version of the installer.
This is the error dspolit is giving me Full BusyBox installation required,kill all binary not found (maybe you have an old busybox version)
Whenever I try to use a different app that's a busybox installer (Pro version as well) It says this (v1.20.2) it says Installing BusyBox v1.20.2 Has failed your system cannot function with this version of busybox
Please try installing a different ROM or fixing your system

Hello everyone! I've recently rooted my Galaxy S6 Edge rom version: G925FXXU1AOCV using the PingPong Root.
Now im trying to install Viper4Android. But it needs BusyBox to be installed in order to work.
So I tried downloading and installing Busybox. But installation fails and shows the following error:
Install BusyBox v1.20.2 failed.
We have detected your system cannot function with this version of busybox.
Please try installing a different Rom or fixing your system.
Error: Cannot Link Executable: cannot locate symbol "_res_get_state" reference by "busybox"...
I have no idea what I need to do in order to install BusyBox. I tried playing around with ADB shell but for the life of me can't figure it out.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Same here I've tried everything and I can't get some apps to grant full root without busybox....
Just an update, I was able to install BusyBox by downloading another version. Even looks different. Allowed me to install no problem and no I enjoy the benefits of Viper4Anroid! yahooooo!
I use TricksterMod for speed tweaking, and it's built-in Busybox on Rails would not install at all, just said not supported. I used another installer to get v1.20, which installed fine and works with TricksterMod
