I've seen a couple of older posts, but I haven't been able to get it worked out.
Is it possible to mount Network share so that I can watch various movies, etc off my of a home server? I have a small server in my basement running unraid with a samba share.
I have a rooted Nexus 10 with Cyanogenmod 10 installed on it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I use CIFS manager or ES File Explorer to mount network shares.
Also you may want to post in the relevant device section, this is samsung galaxy tab 10.1 , not nexus 10.
CIFS natural mount needed - howto?
My device is:
Samsung Galaxy Tab V2 10.1 P5100 (P5100XXDLL2 baseband)
Kernel 3.0.31 - 1069185
JZO54K.P5100XXDMC3 buildnumber
Android 4.1.2
PS: This was the oficially suported French/German/... update version to Android 4.1.2 for P5100 with WiFi, GPS and 3G
----------
I need realy CIFS / Samba mount on this device. Realy i mean, that the shares on Samba servers mounted here will be available for each application running on that Samsung tablet as if it would be an drive/directory on his internal flash. I mean, this is the the standard operating principle on Windows / Linux computers. I do not need especialy managers with CIFS uspport, i need CIFS support naturaly for the whole Android system.
I readed tonns of postings and tested to load cifs.ko, nls_utf8.ko, md4.ko, dns_resolver.ko modules via MountManager and similar other applications, but without success. The Mount Manager & Co. tell me always, the modules cannot be loaded, because the version numer of my build is not compatible withe the versionsnumber of this modules.
If you can me help, pls tell me, what to do, that i can activate CIFS access in the Android:
- need to flash a new kernel?
- need to get the *.KO modules for my Adroid/Kernel version? Were? Till this time found nothing!
- what is the easiest way?
I do not need any especialy features, because except Samba mount i have all, what i need. The Samsung is properly rooted, it can see via the USB adapter each partition/file on external USB harddrive (on 2 TB too, its nice) and can play movie from them, ... and so far.
Help me if you can pls.
Thx,
Feri
100% solved mounting of network shares Samba/CIFS on Galaxy
I solved my SAMBA / CIFS on Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 V2
Infos to my device (important, because other CIFS.KO and Co. do not work with them!!!) You must have the right modules for you firmware version. Otherwise it will do not work!
SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB 10.1 V2
Modelversion: GT-P5100
Basebandversion: P5100XXDLL2
Kernel: 3.0.31-1069185
[email protected] #1
SMP PREEMPT Fri Mar 29 18:55:40 KST 2013
Buildnumber: JZO54K.P5100XXDMC3
Android version: 4.1.2
(This was the oficial German/French/... version for Europe for unbranded devices)
Module files i found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2088515&page=2
Direct links to the files: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1710219&d=1360209542
Configuration and HOW TO:
- Files loaded from above link into: system/lib/modules
- Changed the file attributes to 755 (i do not know if it was usefull, but i does it)
- Installed Cifs Manager
- Made directory: storage/sdcard0/cifs/nas2
- Turned my NAS server on (address 10.0.0.251 local)
- In the CIFS MANAGER settings:
cifs module load: yes
load per insmod: yes
path to cifs.ko: system/lib/modules/cifs.ko -> other modules may be added, ':' will be used to separe the modules
- In the CFS MANAGER - add share (or edit existing share - long tap on share name)
share path: 10.0.0.251/raidz2_main
mount point: storage/sdcard0/cifs/nas2
name: set your Samba access name
password: set your Samba access pasword
options: (nothing to set)
Then do short tap on the share in the CIFS MANAGER and it should be green! Long tap for edit (if not mounted). If mounted short tap for file manager over this share.
If cannot be mounted, controll all - look in the INFO from CIFS MANAGER, if the modules are loaded. Do not give SLASH or BACKSLAH character on begin or end of the parameters, like "/10.0.0.251/raidz2_main/" !!! both slash on begin and at the end are to be removed!
If nothing helps, may be, your *.ko modules don't have the apropriate version to your tablet firmware. You must looking around for in the internet. Sorry - may be someone can help you
PS: MOUNT MANAGER was instable - many crashes, if i trying to mount my NAS server. I know, they are thousend big files on it, but the settings made like described before working wery well, so i think it is better to use CIFS MANAGER! The MOUNT MANAGER give me other error to see - if i try to select the share from the names list, they give me bad address to see and told me, cannot find this share. Only manual entry of the address was ok. But one good thing is if you use MOUNT MANAGER - they have logging - and in the logs you can see, what of setting or *.ko module are not loaded and why!
Best regards, i hope this help someone to solve problems.

PS: I have tested it on Seagate Wireless Plus WiFi external harddisk drive with firmware from http://hackseagatesatellite.com/ It works fine, may be a little bit slow, but it works! In this drive i had changed the 1TB HDD against 128 SSD, so i have more battery lifetime and no problems with mechanical crashes.
The settings for this drive are here:
- Made directory: storage/sdcard0/cifs/plus
- Turned my Seagate wireless Plus on (address 172.25.0.1 - it is the default for this drive with Hackersatellite firm local)
- In the CFS MANAGER - add share (or edit existing share - long tap on share name)
share path: 172.25.0.1/seagate
mount point: storage/sdcard0/cifs/plus
name: set your Samba access name for this drive
password: set your Samba access pasword for this drive
... all others leave set like above. And it works! For details go here:

Hi!
For the ones interested in openvpn or vpnc I attach the tun.ko module.
Have fun.
Here is the tun driver package. Think you should have a rooted device to make use of it.
To install:
1. copy it to your <sdk>/tools folder
2. adb push hero-tun-module-signed.zip /sdcard/update.zip
3. Type 'adb shell reboot bootloader' to enter the bootloader.(or turn it off and then, holding back button, turn it on)
4. Type 'fastboot boot cm-hero-recovery.img' - the device will now boot into the recovery image.
5. Select the option to 'apply update.zip from SD card'. Let it complete.
6. select reboot
Hi!
Good idea and thanks for packaging it. I just made a quick shot ;-)
Will add this to 1.2.

I'll have to check the VPN parameters.
Will let you know.
Brilliant work, many thanks.
I've check and verified my vpn parameters, but get a failed to connect. I'll keep reading and trying and will let you all know.
For info, all I have done - just in case I have missed a fundamental step...
1. Installed VPN connections from the market
2. Configured a network to connect to
3. copied tun.ko to SD card
4. ran adb shell to get on phone then insmod tun.ko - no errors, and shows with lsmod
5. tried to connect.
Getting closer....!

How to install it on my Hero?
Hi all,
I have the same problem. Currently using Modaco's 1.5.1 and I do not want to move to 2.0 as it seems that it does not offer any advantage and I am happy until now with 1.5.1.
I am trying to install tun.ko which exists in system/lib/modules (installed with Modaco's ROM). When installing the tun.ko, I get "Exec format error" with dmesg:
# dmesg | grep tun
<3>[152396.817749] tun: version magic '2.6.27-a5504199 preempt mod_unload ARMv6
' should be '2.6.27-44690c1a preempt mod_unload ARMv6 '
How can I find the 2.6.27-44690c1a version ?
Or else I will wait for Bryan's tests and if successful, I will move to 2.0
Thanks for any help

<EDIT> - Moved to Modaco 2.1, Insmod runs OK, VPN-Connect does not connect. I'll dig more and let u know

From Wiki....
A virtual private network (VPN) is a computer network in which some of the links between nodes are carried by open connections or virtual circuits in some larger networks (such as the Internet), as opposed to running across a single private network. The Link Layer protocols of the virtual network are said to be tunneled through the transport network. One common application is to secure communications through the public Internet, but a VPN does not need to have explicit security features such as authentication or content encryption. For example, VPNs can also be used to separate the traffic of different user communities over an underlying network with strong security features, or to provide access to a network via customized or private routing mechanisms.
Simply put, for most people I imagine, it allows us to connect to work.

D: VPN_Connections: - http://code.google.com/p/get-a-robot-vpnc/downloads/list
E: ConnectBot - android market - the terminal app I use on my Hero. You can do all this from an 'adb shell' on your PC.
1. Flash the 2.2 ROM (others probably work, but the correct tun.ko for the linux build is included in the ROM) from Ref C.
2. Download the latest version (VPN_Connections_v09.apk at time of writing) from get-a-robot-vpnc (Ref D), and install on your Hero.
This provides the vpn modules that are needed.
However I could not get this UI to work on the Hero. It kept hanging, sometimes asking for the password, sometimes not.
Note: the android market version is still 0.6
3. Install the tun.ko module with a script, or manually. This needs to be done each time you boot the Hero.
The script is:
'prep' script ( the following 3 lines: )
-----------
insmod /system/lib/modules/tun.ko
mkdir /dev/net
ln -s /dev/tun /dev/net/tun
Install tun by typing:
sh /sdcard/prep
or typing the 3 commands. (you need to be root, to do this)
(I placed my script on the microSD card, /sdcard/prep)
You can call this script anything you like.
4. Make an 'vpn.conf' file .
IPSec gateway vpn.aa.bb.com
IPSec ID youroffice
IPSec secret yourofficepassword
Xauth username youruid
Place it on /sdcard/vpn.conf
See Ref B for details.
You can call this configuration file anything you like.
5. Make a 'go' script, like this (one long line)
/data/data/org.codeandroid.vpnc_frontend/files/vpnc /sdcard/vpn.conf --script /data/data/org.codeandroid.vpnc_frontend/files/vpnc-script --pid-file /sdcard/vpnc-pid --no-detach --debug 1
Put it in a file /sdcard/go .
N.B. The 'go' script refers to the 'vpn.conf' file which you created earlier.
See Ref B for details.
You can call this script anything you like.
(Note: VPN Connections (Ref D) installs its files to /data/data/org.codeandroid.vpnc_frontend )
6. Start VPN by typing:
sh /sdcard/go
hopefully you will see
# sh /sdcard/go
sh /sdcard/go
Enter password for [email protected]: <this is where you type in your password>
vpnc version ERSION

Hello friends!
Adrynalyne was kind enough to compile nfs support into his latest (0120) kernel for me. However after many (failed) attempts I begin to wonder if it is a issue with my nfs server setup, or perhaps a NFS4/NFS3 mismatch between server and phone?
We are both stumped on the issue, so please take a look!
(Updated) Kernel here: (add http)
adrynalyne.us/files/kernels/0120_fascinate_novoodoo.zip
md5: d7fa2bb38a8e3eacb919ea97f8666d18 0120_fascinate_novoodoo.zip
In server logs I can see that it is successfully contacting server to mount, however client side i receive:
mount: mounting 192.168.1.101:/media/media2/TV on /sdcard/nfs failed: Protocol not supported
Thanks for looking!
nfs?
Not for sure?

check /etc/hosts.allow and make sure nfs is open. Something allong the lines of:
nfsd: ALL
rpcbind: ALL
mountd: ALL
Also make sure your phones IP address is listed in /etc/exports - I know this is "obvious" but we have all had those moments...
hosts.allow is verbatim (not connected to WAN, so not too worried about security)
Code:
nfsd: ALL
rpcbind: ALL
mountd: ALL
also in my exports i have 192.168.1.0/24 so anyone on my LAN can mount.
Mounting NFS shares from this server works on other linux devices (my popcorn hour and arch notebook) in my house.
(updated OP with new kernel)
please someone take a look, this has adryn and my self stumped!
Try CifsManager (from the market) to mount the share
Cifs != nfs
Sent from my DJ05
cifsmanager also mount nfs shares http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756158
Hi, cifs manager does indeed mount nfs shares... but only if NFS is actually working! which it isnt (for me)... It doesnt have some magic code.. it is just a front end to 'mount'.
This is some of the info that I have put together and I figured it may help some of you also. Let me know if I need to add anything. Looking forward to working with this device. Hopefully the Devs will take an interest in it also. With these hardware specs I feel like they will. Anyway, carry on............

Enabling Developer Mode (Rooting)
In general, simply installing the Palm SDK gives you everything you need for full access to the Linux operating system on any webOS device. There is no special "rooting" or "jailbreaking" process. Simply installing the SDK provides you with unlimited access to the Linux operating system.
Download & install the Palm SDK for Linux, OS X or Windows.
Enable developer mode on the HP Touchpad:
Launch Device Info and tap its top-left menu.
Select "Custom Application..." and type in: ##3386633#
In the application, move the Developer Mode slider to the On position.
Tap Reset the Device.
When reset is complete, Developer mode is enabled.
Plug the device into the computer via the USB cable, and just close out the USB storage mode thing.
The next step varies:
Mac OS X / Linux: Type novaterm into terminal to directly access the Linux command line for the HP Touchpad.
Windows: you will need to download and install a novaterm program.
On Windows 32-bit, download novacom-win-32.tgz and install novacom with NovacomInstaller_x86.msi.
On Windows 64-bit, download novacom-win-64.tgz and install novacom with NovacomInstaller_x64.msi.
Then, just like the Mac and Linux users you can just type novaterm.
At this point you will have a window with a prompt that says [email protected]: or something similar.
You are now logged in as root on your webOS device and can do anything you would normally do on a Linux device.
DISCLAIMER: We cannot be held liable for any loss of data, damage, bricking, or other malfunctions of the device. We solely provide the information needed to achieve root access.

RESET: Hold Power Button & Home Button until the tablet resets.
Doing the above solved the below issue.
My touchpad won't turn on I used it until it had about 30 % battery last night, but didn't put it to charge. When I woke up this morning, it was at 28% battery. I used it to check facebook and xda, locked it and put it down to watch the price is right but when I went to use it again, none of the buttons unlocked it. I plugged it into mulitple outlets and held the power button for about 30 seconds each time, but nothing is happening I don't know what to do. Can anybody help?

Thanked 69 Times in 34 Posts
Updated (Sep 7th 2011):
Rewritten to include a method for stock kernel, make shares usable for KalemSoft Media Player & automount at (re)boot. Thx to everybody who contributed to this thread! (Under construction, finished later)
Updated (Aug 9th 2011): processed some comments from this thread and the fact that uberkernel now also supports CIFS (& NFS).
Prerequisites:
- HP Touchpad, webOS 3.0.2 or later.
- One of the following Kernels:
---- Stock kernel
---- Uberkernel 3.0.2-52 or later (Next to support for CIFS & NFS this kernel also supports UTF-8. More info here: WebOS Internals Uber-Kernel
---- F15C,.. (completed later)
- Terminal access to your TP, either via webOS Quick Install or Xecutah + Xserver + Xterm (install from preware)
- Internalz Pro with show hidden files set to yes
Three parts:
This guide has three parts:
Basic Mounting
Mounting with shares visible in apps like Kalemsoft Media Player
"Sticky" mounting: Auto mount at (re)boot
Definitions:
hostIP = IP address of the computer or NAS you want to connect to. You can use hostnames too, but need to also edit /etc/hosts then.
sharename = The share name you want to connect to as configured on your computer/NAS
mountpoint-path = as discussed above, e.g. /mnt/nas
cifs = type of filesystem to mount (cifs is better version of smbfs, I've been told)
auto (or can also be noauto) auto/noauto determines if the share is mounted automatically at startup.
username & password = share login credentials. There are probably safer ways to do this instead of having this plain text on your device, anyone can tell me how to do that?
rw = access mode, in this case read & write, other possibilities exist too
The numbers have someting to do with filesystem check at boot.
1a: Basic Mounting (without fstab)
- Create a mountpoint, a path where the share will be accessible, e.g. /mnt/nas or /mnt/media/internal/nas I used Internalz Pro in master mode for this.
- In a terminal type:
mount.cifs //<hostIP>/<sharename> <mountpoint-path> -o username=<username>,password=<password>
Example: mount.cifs //10.0.1.26/DataVolume /mnt/Shared -o username=foo,password=bar
1b: Basic Mounting (with fstab, not supported by stock kernel)
To be finished later
2: Mounting with shares visible in apps like Kalemsoft Media Player
To be finished later
For now please refer to:
Road to Success - How to allow NAS to show up under /media/internal on Touchpad Apps?
How To: Connect TP to network shares
How To: Connect TP to network shares
3: "Sticky" mounting: Auto mount at (re)boot
To be finished later
For now please refer to:
Road to Success - Mounting SAMBA/CIFS Permanently on Touchpad
-------------------------------
Original post:
In short: The stock kernel on a webOS 3.0.2 Touchpad does not support CIFS. Or at least I didn't get it to work just the same way I do get it to work out of the box on a 1.4.5 Pre-.
Then I saw this thread: F15B & F15C test kernels
It says CIFS support! So I hesitantly installed this experimental F15C kernel, quickly ran Govnah to set max speed to 1.5 GHz (I don't want no real overclocking beyond this speed). But, YES, it does work, I now can access my NAS!
After I initially posted this thread webosinternals also added support for CIFS (& NFS) to the uberkernel (as of version 3.0.2-36). Thanks a lot for that guys!!
So how to go about:
- Install the F15C kernel from the testing kernel feed
The rest is standard linux stuff for mounting Samba shares:
- Create a mountpoint, a path where the share will be accessible, e.g. /mnt/nas or /mnt/media/internal/nas I used Internalz Pro in master mode for this.
- Open /etc/fstab again you can use Internalz Pro in master mode for this
Add a line:
//<hostIP>/<sharename> <mountpoint-path> cifs auto,username=<username>,password=<password>,rw 0 0
hostIP = IP address of the computer or NAS you want to connect to. You can use hostnames too, but need to also edit /etc/hosts then.
sharename = The share name you want to connect to as configured on your computer/NAS
mountpoint-path = as discussed above, e.g. /mnt/nas
cifs = type of filesystem to mount (cifs is better version of smbfs, I've been told)
auto (or can also be noauto) auto/noauto determines if the share is mounted automatically at startup.
username & password = share login credentials. There are probably safer ways to do this instead of having this plain text on your device, anyone can tell me how to do that?
rw = access mode, in this case read & write, other possibilities exist too
The numbers have someting to do with filesystem check at boot.
- Save the file
- Open a terminal
- type in this command:
mount -t cifs //<hostIP>/<sharename> <mountpoint-path> -o username=<username>,password=<password>
No idea whether all the -o options are still needed, as they are in the fstab line already as well.
Apparently mount -a should also mount your shares inside fstab. But for me that didn't work, maybe because I have it set to noauto.
This should do it.
Unmounting as follows:
umount <mountpoint-path> e.g. umount /mnt/nas
Note: as soon as you have a kernel running that supports CIFS, you can also use the xt tools. See this thread and the threads referenced inside it. samba filesharing - install/support thread
The xt tools will take over all the fstab editing and directory creation.
I agree this is still cumbersome. On an Android phone for example this is buildin in every decent filemanager. So I really, really hope that either or both Gemini and Internals HD will have some easy solution for this (both configuring and the actual mounting/unmounting). Or a solution straight from HP, this is also aimed at enterprise market after all!

Weird shortcut to USB mode
Has anybody else seen this?
While connected to PC in "just charging" mode I reached out and accidentally hit the Volume Down and Power buttons at the same time. The TouchPad instantly switched to USB Storage mode.
Interesting behavior and I couldn't seem to find any mention of it anywhere.
PreCentral had it as a tip on their web site about a week ago and I spotted it there - http://www.precentral.net/access-usb-mode-touchpad.
Quite a few other useful titbits crop up on there - it is worth following. I use the webOS News app from the App Catalog. That gives heads-up on the free software codes as well.

Blackberry DUN Bluetooth Tethering Guide
WARNING!! FOR EXPERTS ONLY! YOU'VE BEEN WARNED! THIS IS NOT A SIMPLE CLICK AND DONE. IT MAY FRUSTRATE YOU!
This may or may not work for you, don't be surprised if it doesn't. Also Tethering may or may not be supported by your carrier. Data Plan recommended! @@
Your Mobile carrier may charge tethering fees, Continue at your own risk!
I suggest you read the whole thing before you action, and also please bare with my english, as it is my 3rd language.
Tether via Terminal: (Thanks lophyte for this great guide)
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...-gtab-to-your-blackberry-phone-via-bluetooth/
I did not develop any apps or any scripts of any kind.
This was all done with some extensive research and alot of Trial and Error.
But with the little information I found out there, I was able to find some pretty interesting things.
I found this app called Q5 DUN, which was designed for an Old Internet Tablet called the SmartQ5 and ran Android 1.5.....
Therefore support is very limited, and there was only 2 updates back in 2009.
Also, I will be quoting guides out there, but I will properly credit the author for their efforts & findings. (Mostly lophyte )
Also would like to Thank RimDroid helping me with the research.

What you need:
-ALOT OF PATIENCE!
- Rooted Android Tablet ( I'm using a HP TouchPad )
- Android 2.3.7 (Reported by nihjar that it works on ICS!!)
- Blackberry Mobile Device with DUN Profile. ( I'm using BB Bold 9700 with OS 6 installed ) *Other Mobile's may work, need further testing*
- Terminal app
- Root Explorer app
- Super User app
- Q5 Bluetooth Dial Up Network app by wsoft2002
- Berry4All Scripts
- Chat Binary compiled by lophyte (Originally compiled for GTab, but works on my HP Touchpad) or you can compile one, link in lophyte's guide. **NOTE**(Reported by nihjar that it works on ICS!!)
Currently there are two ways to tether BT:
Option 1: Using the Q5 Bluetooth Dial Up Network app and modifying the Build.prop <-- Easiest Method, but buggy! But once configured, works perfectly!
Option 2: Running terminal commands <-- Connecting Manually thru Linux commands.
We will be installing both options in this guide.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
- Make sure DUN is enabled on your BB ( Search google for guides on this )
Step 1: Download and Install on Android
-Install Root Explorer (if you don't have it already)
-Install Terminal (if you don't have it already)
-Install Q5 DUN http://android.gval.biz/
Step 2: Download the following on your PC
Berry4All Scripts Here
Chat Binary compiled by lophyte to Tether with Gtab Link to his Guide Here

lophyte said:
Download the berry4all package and find the config for your provider.
Berry4all is a Linux bluetooth tethering package that contains various pppd configurations for mobile providers. If your provider is not available in this package, you'll need to Google around for a proper pppd config and chatscript to allow you to tether to your blackberry or other mobile phone.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
-Create a new folder which you will be placing the following files to better manage them.
-Copy the Chat binary file into the new folder.
-Extract bbtether and find the 2 files in /conf/ that corresponds to your mobile network, and copy those 2 files into the new folder. In this guide I will be using Rogers as an example. In this case, rogers & rogers-chat
lophyte said:
Modify the configurations
I haven't looked at the configs for the other providers, but the Rogers config needed a little bit of modification. The following line in my ppp peer config file needed to be changed:
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 3:Modify the configurations
-Open rogers in a text editor ( I recommend Notepad ++)
-Find the line
connect "/usr/sbin/chat -f conf/rogers-chat
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
& change this line to:
connect "/system/bin/chat -f /etc/ppp/chatscripts/rogers-chat"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
*NOTE* Edit the rogers-chat to which ever mobile provider you are using
-Find the line with 'novj' and place a # in front of it. Or Delete it, which ever is fine.
Your File should look like this:

connect "/system/bin/chat -f /etc/ppp/chatscripts/rogers-chat"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
**NOTE** Change UserName & Password that matches your APN settings.**
-Save and Exit.
Step 4:Now its time to copy these files to our Routed Android Devices.
-You will need to use Root Explorer to copy these files to your device, or Adb Push. ( Lookup the forums for on how to )
-Copy chat binary into /system/bin/ overwrite if prompt.
-Copy your mobile config files into these folders respectively.
a) rogers-chat -> /etc/ppp/peers (create this folders if it doesn't exist)
b) rogers -> /etc/ppp/chatscripts (create this folder if it doesn't exist}
-Reboot Device
-Once rebooted, you will need to pair your mobile device to your android device. Delete the profiles if it already exist, & pair again. (BT is buggy)
-Keep Bluetooth On.
Now here comes the most frustrating part... connecting!
Step 5:Configuring Q5 DUN
The best and easiest way to find you DUN MAC and Channel is using Q5 IMO,
but you can also use Linux commands. ( Terminal Tether guide above )
-Make sure you turn on BT, as this app does not toggle the BT on.
-Use this guide by wsoft2002 to configure Q5http://android.gval.biz/Q5_Bluetooth_DUN_installations.php
-In the Dial-Up Script, this is where the rogers-chat come into play.
-Open rogers-chat (your provider) file in Text Editor via Root Explorer.
-Select all Text and Copy in the the Dial-Up Script.
Your Dial-Up should look like this:
TIMEOUT 10
ABORT 'BUSY'
ABORT 'NO ANSWER'
ABORT 'ERROR'
SAY 'Starting GPRS connect script\n'
'' 'BBT_OS'
'' 'ATZ'
SAY 'Setting APN\n'
OK 'AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","internet.com"'
ABORT 'NO CARRIER'
SAY 'Dialing...\n'
OK 'ATD*99#'
CONNECT
# Without ~p it does NOT continue passed Connect !!
~p
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
*Note the "internet.com", this is where you put your mobile APN. ( Google search if your mobile is not in the bbtether folder ) or settings on your phone.
**Note that the 'ATD*99#' will differ depending on the carrier. You can try 'ATD*99***1#' if that doesn't work, (try to google 'your carrier' ATD)
***Thanks to Nijhar he found out that on Telus Network, ~p causes connection issues in Q5, so this may vary for you. (Trial and Error!)
****NEW**** Found * Another way to find you isp APN settings, using Blackberry Desktop Software, and plugging in the mobile device, you can browse all authorized BB carriers.
-Save Configuration & Hit connect to Test it out.
Allow the connection and checkmark 'Do not show again'
If you get 'PPP Connection is UP!' GREAT! Skip to Step 7.
-If you get 'PPP Failed to connect' then obviously it didn't work.
Now there are a few factors that causes PPP failed to connect.
a) Q5 not setup properly, I suggest you double check your settings.
b) Pairing problems, or Trust permissions. Re-Pairing might fix it.
c) Remove or Add ~p from the chat script.
d) Reboot both devices and try again.
e) Tether is not supported by your carrier.
f) Make sure Dial-Up Networking Service is enabled on your phone. in Bluetooth connections>paired devices>Touchpad (May vary depending on BB OS)
Step 6:Testing BT connection in Terminal
Q5 might not work for you, so Terminal will be your next Option.
-Open Terminal and type 'su' for super user rights.
-type the following '# rfcomm bind /dev/rfcomm0 <bluetooth MAC> <channel>'
-then type 'pppd /dev/rfcomm0 call rogers' <- change 'rogers' to your carrier.
-Look at your Blackberry 'Modem Mode Enabled' should appear if it connects.
-If it does not connect, please revise the guide and make sure you have done everything exactly up till now.
-'# killall pppd ' to end the connection
Step 7:Configuring DNS to Google's DNS or of your choise
-In Terminal
-Type 'su'
-Then 'setprop net.dns1 8.8.8.8'
-Next 'setprop net.dns2 8.8.4.4'
*You can put as much as dns4 if you like, but Google's DNS should work fine**
Step 8:Testing Internet Connection
-Browsing
-Youtube
-Facebook
-Apps & Games (Trial & Error)
Step 9:Modifying the build.prop to eliminate setprop net.dns on reboot.
-Add net.dns1=8.8.8.8 & net.dns2=8.8.4.4
Working:
-Browsing the Web
-Streaming Video/Music
-Downloading Files using Opera Browser(Perfect), or xwind downloader app(Not perfect, but will work with any browser). Or use share link to Opera browser to DL using 'Choose Browser app found on the Market' -NEW-
-GO Launcher EX works great! Weather widget, facebook, e-mail etc all works! <~ If you want a fully functional homescreens,widgets etc
-Rogers,Telus & Bell Networks
Not Working:
-Android Market (Browse-able, but can't download anything)
-Google Currents
-Kindle App ( can log-in, but can't browse new books )
-Weather Apps ( News & Weather Works tho )
-Games
-Essentially any apps that cannot detect BT as Internet Source. Unlike most apps keeps trying to connect regardless of the 'available network'.
Support:
And if all fails, you may post below, and tell me your problems.
-Please provide the following info:
a) Mobile model & OS version
b) Tablet model & OS version
c) Carrier
d) Brief Description of the problem.
Please do not complain if it does not work for your device. We're simply trying to help the Android community by giving them support on unsupported devices.

And you will have problems with Android Market and some other apps. Internet is configured at linux level, Android OS don't know about it, so if application asks: "Do we have internet connection?", Android replies: "No". Android Market will wait for connection even if there is one.

I guess there's no workaround? Can someone with some DUN or PAN knowledge, shed some light on us?

Please post a reply if this worked or failed for you.
Most appreciated.
Simply amazing!! Thank you very much. Was waiting for the ROM update on my BB that would include wireless hotspot. That hasn't happened
Running a Torch 9860 with my rooted Touchpad. Just followed your instructions. Except I did not modify the build.prop file yet. I can't believe how fast this is!

Awesome! Does downloading work for you? and are you using Q5 or Terminal way?
I am using Q5. I only tried the Market. And as you stated, can get there but cannot download apps. As soon as I shut down Q5 and started up wifi, the apps downloaded. I am going to try Google Maps and Navigation to see if they work.
One question...does it matter where you put the net.dns1=8.8.8.8 & net.dns2=8.8.4.4 line in build.prop?
Thanks again and Merry Christmas!

anywhere works.
New Discovery:
Q5 DUN does not require the ppp files (rogers + rogers-chat)
It only requires the chat binary file /system/bin
So if you are not using the terminal way, you can safely delete those files without affecting Q5.
New Discovery 2:
Stock browser,Firefox Beta & Dolphin HD - all three can't download... lol
But...Using Opera Browser, I was able to download files!! Yay! I'm assuming this app does not rely on 'Connectivity Manager'. I'm so happy, as this is the only browser that worked out of 4!
New Findings! Check it Out!
Simply amazing!! 关注中！
Nice Guide Vamp.
Couldn't have done it better myself!
Tried the Amazon Silk Browser
This Browser rocks in terms of browsing speeds!!
Can't download with this browser.. bummer..
New Finding!
I found a Download manager that works with BT.
Xwind Downloader by JasonWong.
By using this DL manager, I can use any browser I want to browse, and use this manager to download!
Hello, I have a question. When you pair you BB to HP Touchpad, does your Bluetooth say paired but not connected? Is that ok, or do I need to fix it somehow for the Tethering to work? So far I'm not able to tether, so I was wondering if that was the problem.
Some info:
Hp Touchpad running cyanogenmod 7
Blackberry Torch 9800 with Rogers and data plan.
Thank you.

Hi Kryal,
It's suppose to say paired but not connected, that's normal.
All I can say is follow my instructions very carefully.
Which method are you using? Terminal or Q5?
Also make sure Dial-Up Networking Service is enabled on your phone. in Bluetooth connections>paired devices>Touchpad

This setting might differ from carrier: 'ATD*99#'
This is the modem command to connect for Rogers.. you will have to find out which one works for you.
Try this one: 'ATD*99***1#'
If that doesn't work, you will need to test on your own, as I am only able to test Canadian carriers.
You can find other ATD commands online, if this one doesn't work.
Dear XDA´s screeners,
i have a NAS and would like to browse to my shared folders.
So i find CIFS, this tool works with my Samsung galaxy S3
Now i have a TabPro SM-t320 and here i can´t access to the shared folders.
root: yes

Please can anybody explain me how i can i find a way to let cifs work.
THANK YOU
Martin
Instead of messing about with a kernel module you may want to use ES File Explorer (Freeware) or Solid Explorer (time limited trial) instead. Both can connect to SMB/CIFS shares and read/copy/write from/to there.

Hi all, if your goal is simply to play music and video from your NAS to your android device, you can use Kodi (xbmc) that can access cifs path directly!
