Tun.ko kernel missing

[Ron]

I've tried every vpn apk and can't get any to work. I did a maintenance check with droidvpn and it seems that the tun.ko kernel is not loaded.

I tried Tun.ko app and nothing will download.

Hola apk works fine but when I do an ip check im still at home address.

Any help with this would be very much appreciated.

Can you run through what happens (exactly) when you install and run the Tun.ko app?
Also, please install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck&hl=en on your device, and let us know the results when you run the test.

Tun.ko returns: Downloaded module is incompatible

Root Checker returns: Sorry this device does not have root access.

 

[ChrisM]

Ok, the author says this means there are no compatible modules to be found. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20790210
It sounds as though we'll need to wait for an update on that. You could check if your installed version is the latest he has released, or post in the thread there.

Thanks for your help. I might try a factory reset. Maybe that might resolve the issue. Is the X7 rooted from factory?

 

[ChrisM]

Re it being rooted or not, send us an e-mail ( [email protected] ) with whatever is printed on the label under your X7, and when you purchased it. The dispatch team can then work out which firmware you have on yours.

Had this problem ages ago.. the solution is to enable VPN in settings..

E-mail sent SilentlyScreaming.

Thanks Tony, I tried that fix but on initial screen it looks for a password. I have no idea what the password is.

it asks for 4 digit code just choose 1234 and install ur Vpn app.. worked for me.

Hi, i have the same issue with my x7.

VPN is asking for a pin. 1234 doesn't however work. In settings > security > credential storage, i've cleared credentials, hoping this would resolve the VPN PIN code setting.

Any ideas, how i can resolve this?

 

[Borgeluk]

Got it! Had to factory reset the X7 (wipe and reset factory data option), to regain access to the VPN settings (under android network settings). Found a thread on this forum providing instructions.

Used Tony's android VPN set-up instructions (PPTP), using my VPN service provider access credentials.
Now works sweet!

By the looks of things some VPN android apps including 'openvpn connect', won't work on the x7 due to the absence of Tun.ko drivers, from the x7 kernel.

Thanks guys, this thread really helped.
