kernel module for rooted Tablet S ( 2.6.36.3 ) - CIFS, NTFS, TUN, bash 4.2 n MORE

---

Hi all,

This thread is to share the kernel module for rooted Sony Tablet S. I think it would be much useful to post all the zips in 1st post..

Requirement:
Condi's rooted solution on ur Tablet S. Instructions here

So now we have the below:
2.6.36.3 Kernel Modules :
- CIFS (and u can mount any LAN Network shared drives to your Tablet S and watch movies or listen musics.) Updated version has /proc/fs/cifs/Stats
- NTFS (mount a USB external drive using OTG cable; pretty obvious filesystem by the name )
- TUN (/dev/tun device for OpenVPN usage.)
- USB Serial ( cp210x, ftdi_sio and oti6858 ) --- NEW

Shell binaries :
- bash 4.1 (with bash configuration files. bash binary is changed to auto read from /data/local/bash for bashrc file ) [ Updated to version 4.2 ]


MD5SUM is as below:

The steps are only manual way to insert the kernel module; automation is up to you. To automate this upon boot, i guess u can put it into init.d or somewhere im not sure.

If you need some kernel modules particular to 2.6.36.3 rooted, let me know.

have fun!

----------------------------------------------------------------

Kernel Module deploy instructions:
1) adb push <module_name>.ko /data/local/tmp
2) adb shell
$ su
# mount -o rw,remount -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system
# cp /data/local/tmp/<module_name>.ko /system/lib/modules/<module_name>.ko
# insmod /system/lib/modules/<module_name>.ko

To verify:
# lsmod
(You will see the module_name listed. )

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

bash shell deploy instructions:
1) adb push bash /data/local/tmp
2) adb push bash_cfg.zip /data/local/tmp
3) adb shell
$ su
# mkdir /data/local/bash
# chmod 775 /data/local/bash
# chgrp 2000 /data/local/bash
# cd /data/local/bash
# unzip /data/local/tmp/bash_cfg.zip
# chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/bash
# cp /data/local/tmp/bash /system/xbin/bash

Now, u can type bash at your prompt and you will see the below:
[localhost /data/local/tmp/new_bin]#

Not in this current kernel as its compiled as built-in. However custom kernels in future should allow OC. Need time to look into.

NTFS Support for external drives?

damn
I thought it is possible, because ia have seen this kind of modules for other devices.

Those are already having bootloader cracked. would need more info from Condi abt that on our tablet and the possibilities.

Btw, heres the NTFS rw kernel module.

<6>[96479.498359] NTFS driver 2.1.29 [Flags: R/W MODULE].

# lsmod
ntfs 194248 0 - Live 0xbf03e000

NTFS module is live for me too but when i connect my NTFS formatted pendrive the tablet tells me blank USB device.
Is there any other commands to mount the ntfs drive?

Does it appear in the mount cmd output? Mounting it manually with '-t ntfs' would be required i feel...

adb shell
$su
# busybox mount

what does your screen show?

Maybe you could achieve automount when inserted by changing vold/svold.fstab?

Yeah i was looking at that earlier and on further search it seems possible with patched vold here

Not 100% sure if its the same software but i guess it should be... I do not have a spare sdcard to format into ntfs and still awaiting for my OTG cable to arrived before i can test that.
