hi. i conside myself a noob, so be gentle on me
i have managed to install cwm and starburst rom, however they lack cifs.ko. many searches on the web says i should adb push it but i'm not sure how. is there a way i can just install/flash them using cwm?
btw i'm using a p7510 tab, if that may help.
You need a custom kernel (pershoots will do), cifs manager from market, correct "cifs.ko" for the kernel (if using pershoots you will find it in his thread). Without a custom kernel it will not work.

Thanks. Am current ly running on pershoot's kernel, and got the modules.tar.gz from droidbasement. There's a cifs.ko in there. I just don't know how to instal/ copy them to the modules' folder.tried to point the a cifs.ko on sdcard usingcifs manager, but still not working. Maybe I did it wrongly.
Is there a guide for this kind of thing for a furst timer, or is there any way I can use cwm for this?
Hello, you just have to run "insmod path_to_modules/cifs.ko" as root in a terminal.
You can browse CIFS folders with this software : https://market.android.com/details?id=com.rhmsoft.fm.hd.
hi all. thanks for the help, but since i installed bonsai 0.3 i got the cifs, ntfs and tun. yay babe.
i still hadnt got cifs manager working, but am working on it. if anybody got any tips, hats off to you...

I want to mount some cifs or even better nfs mounts. I Found the cool cifs app, but I'm having no luck loading the cifs driver.
I have a rooted x10a
firmware 1.6
Kernel 2.6.29-rel semc-android semc 2
Build r1fa014
so what do I have to do? I have looked high and low for a x10 cifs.ko, and tried a ton of others with the app and insmod. Do I need to upgrde the kernel? build?
Current links to what I have to do would be apreciated.
Thanks
check the kernel compiling topic, I posted cifs kernel module for X10 there.
Thanks for the info
I have found your main post: # 716360, Compiling X10 kernel sources.
And I have downloaded your cifs.zip, put it on my x10. I can insmod or use the cifsmanager gui to load the module, and it appears to be running with no errors, lsmod even shows it.
But when I go to mount I still get the "No Such Device" error. Do i need to upgrade my phone first from the above specs?
I don't want to hijack the other post, so ill reply here.
Thanks

use the same command line i used on the kernel topic,
also the destination directory must exists.
last but not least, busybox mount instead of the native android mount
if you succeed, please provide compiled module
After some work, I got it to work, and in the end it was not to complicated at all.
1. Get the CIFS module (driver) for the X10, I have attached a copy I am now using for version 1.6. It was compiled by alx5962 and put on these forums in another thread "Compiling X10 kernel sources". There is more info there. I just added "X10" to the name of his file to avoid confusion and posted it here in case of a search engine brought others here for help.
Unpack and save the file somewhere on your SD card, write down where it is at.
2. Install the CIFS Manager from apps, it will need root access to load the cifs module ("Superuser Permissions" app manages this very well), there is lots of info and this is a easy fix. Should be easy to find.
In settings:
Check "Load cifs module"
Check "Load via insmod"
the under path point it to where you saves the cifs modile (something like /sdcard/cifsx10/cifs.ko)
Then setup your share, for example:
Share Path:
192.168.0.1/Share
Mount Point:
/mnt/cifs/Share
Username"
me
Password:
mepassword
Don't worry about any of the options
And that should do it. I did try the command line mounting in the shell, that worked well too, I even made some scripts with a script app. But the CIFS Manager once i figured out my problem(read my note below), worked very well and very easy.
*NOTE* My big problem was an error when mounting "invalid argument". What I found is even if I have the share open to anyone with no password, it will spit out an error if you leave the username and password blank. I just put in "me" and "pw" (or anything really) and i was up and running in one foul swoop!
can i ask what is the point to all this?

CIFS also called SMB is the network file sharing used by windows mostly, this would then let you share a folder on you sdcard over you wifi to your home pc leting you copy files to and from your phone without connectinig USB
I haven't tried to share any folders on the sdcard, but I use it to mount shares that are on the network on my pc. ES File Explorer is a nice app to browse the network, but some files wont open well using this.
My main use is to play media, mainly DIVX movies that are stored on my pc. By mounting a share on cifs ( smb - samba, or windows file sharing, both more or less same thing) I can open my DIVX movies with rockplayer and they play like a charm. I have heard of some other apps that have the same issue.
But now I can have access to all of my media stuff when i want.
you can also use webdrive - windows program for mounting ssh filesystems, and launch ssh daemon on android.
Anyone tried this on 2.1? Do we need a new cifs.ko?
Bump.
Anyone got any info on cifs and 2.1? Id like to upgrade but don't want to lose this use.
[sorry] Bump [/sorry]
I tries some of the cifs.ko files i found trying to use the same kernel version (2.6.29), but insmod gave me errors.
Please, if anyone found a working version of cifs.ko for X10 2.1 kernel, post it - or give us a hint ...
(yes i know, compiling it myself would be a way, ... - i promise i will try, but why reinvent the wheel?)
THANKS,
Bax
Bumpito
Still no news about the new cifs.ko ?
Thanks !
Sony Ericsson haven't released the sources for 2.1 yet, so no "cifs.ko" until then. (It seems SE are breaking the GPL license by not releasing their Linux kernel source code)
And is there a way without using cifs.to to play files (such as mp3 or avi) directly from a samba share on 2.1 or we have to wait ?
Bump
Anyone have any luck with 2.1 yet?
hhave we gotten this yet?

Running TNTLite 4.4 and pershoot's latest kernel. Using CIFS Manager. Keep getting "No such device". I thought Pershoot's supported CIFS. Can anyone help? What am I missing?
Maybe a little off-topic, but if all you need is to copy files to/from shares, you can do that using ES File Explorer.
Just FYI...

copy the cifs module from the lib..gz archive to your system under modules, and load it in with CIFS manager.
instructions are contained at the bottom of every blog post.
Anyone able to load cifs module on 10.1?
I had no luck with the following log from mount manager app, i got the cifs.ko from lib-2636.4.tar.gz
su: insmod (......dir.....)/cifs.ko
execute-result: exitcode:255 stdout: stderr:insmod: init_module '(......dir.....)/cifs.ko' failed (exec format error)
wondering whether the issue here is from mount manager or from cifs.ko?
BTW: tried cifs manager also, not working too.

There is no cifs modules for the stock kernel.
You will need one of the custom kernel done by pershoot or supercurio.
just updated my original post .... see if that helps describing issues more clear

I have uses cifs with both of the custom kernels and it loads without problems for me.
I also used lib-2636.4.tar.gz - created /system/lib/modules and placed the module there, but should be able to install it anywhere. I am using cifs manager.
UPDATE: I am using the supercurio kernel and just tried
su
insmod /lib/modules/cifs.ko
the module is loaded - checked with lsmod
Good to know it supposed to work ....and i finally fully understand the line...
"There is no cifs modules for the stock kernel. You will need one of the custom kernel done by pershoot or supercurio."
I need a nls_utf8.ko module
I am using [Kernel] - 2.6.36.4 - OC-VFPv3-d16_FP 1.4GHZ - Galaxy Tab 10.1 (10/24/11;9.00PM EDT).which provide cifs.ko module,I can connect to my computer share,but there is no nls_utf8.ko.I need this module to access my chinese share resource,thanks.
Has anyone tried CIFS manager with CM7DX2? I'm trying to get it working but it doesn't want to mount with error "no such device" which the dev for CIFS manager says:
"Your current kernel or rom lacks the necessary CIFS support. Try to find a matching kernel module (cifs.ko) or use a rom with explicit CIFS support."
So does anyone know if CM7DX2 has CIFS support?
Tried adding a cifs.ko from another ROM with same kernel version but it won't load in either cifs manager or mount manager.
Nobody is using this? Any ideas then on how I could mount a shared drive on my PC to have access to it like the files were on my phone?

Whew boy! How far do you really want to dig into this? First, with out locked boot loader, replacing the kernel is next to impossible, however, you can inject ko modules into the running kernel, however they must be configured against the original kernel's source code... If you find one from a SIMILAR kernel, it MIGHT work. There is no guarantee. The command to use would be insmod or modprobe. Depending on how you wanted to load the module. If I am over your head with this, then it's best you stop here... If you really want to forge ahead, then by all means, please do so. Google "linux insmod use" or "linux modprobe use" Or, if you have a Linux box handy, "man insmod" or "man modprobe". I'm not going to get into the details of how to do this, because if you do things wrong, you can have some very screwy results that I would be able to triage in PM's or posts.
Anyhow, that, in a nutshell, is what you are looking at. To succinctly answer your question, yes, it's possible. Is this something that I want to tackle? Ummmm... No. If you want someone to bounce stuff off of, feel free to hit me up! Good luck!
Ciao!

Today i've compiled some modules, that essential for sharing support through CIFS Manager.
View attachment dx2_gb_cifs.7z (LZMA2 inside, update your 7zip archiver, before unpacking)
Modules compiled for 2.6.32.9-00005-g2440aba kernel, which i found in my device (firmware 4.5.1A-DTN-150-30).
Hello, I was just trying to install the modules ff-memless.ko and xpad.ko so that I can use my xbox controller on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 LTE (sch-i905). when I try the command in terminal emulator:
insmod /data/local/modules/ff-memless.ko
It fails and says: (exec format error)
Also, I ran dmesg and I believe the error was that these particular modules are made for a different kernel, whereas my kernel is 2.6.36.4-cyanogenmod+
My question is where can I get these modules for my kernel? Or is there a way to get mine to work?
Thanks for any help.
Which ROM are you using exactly?
Are the modules included in the ROM?
Are you doing it as root?
It is rooted and i do not believe it is running a custom ROM, just a custom kernel which is the cyanogenmod kernel for the lte tablet running 3.2
and no they were not included i found them online.
Which kernel exactly? Download link? A link to the modules too.
Most likely your theory is right, you're trying to use a module for another kernel.
You can find the last custom kernel and modules for HC 3.2 here: http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=2479
Don't forget to run the insmod as root.
Oh, and the dmesg output could be useful if you keep getting the same error.
I got the modules here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1517949
and I do not remember where exactly I got the kernel, and I believe the kernel itself is on a different computer at the moment, but it was a cyanogenmod by pershoot, so I imagine I could simply put the one you gave me onto my tablet and install via CWM?
And what do you mean to run it as root? Do you mean to start with 'su' as the first line?
Yes, you're using modules for a different kernel, an ICS kernel for a different device.
Maybe you're already using the latest kernel from pershoot, if you want to be sure, execute in a terminal:
Code:
uname -a
The date should be around 9/January/2012
In any case, if you want, download the kernel from pershoot's blog and flash it with CWM.
Use the modules in lib-2636.4_ux_hc32.tar.gz (from pershoot's blog). And yes, use the terminal as root executing the su command first.
Alright I put in that code and yes it was Jan 9th but I think Ill flash that one you gave me anyways. Before I do so, do I need to wipe data or just cache and dalvik?
and I seem to be having difficulties finding that .tar file you mentioned.
Btw thanks for all your help with this
There's no need to flash the kernel if you already have it. But no, just flash the kernel without wiping anything.
The modules (the file is a tar.gz): http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/kernels/2636/26/lib-2636.4_ux_hc32.tar.gz
Or just download the attachment (includes ff-memeless.ko and xpad.ko):
Load ff-memeless.ko first, then xpad.ko .

It all works now thank you so much for your time.
Hello, so I'm trying to get wired 360 controller to work. But I need correct modules for my ZTpad Zenithink C91 ICS 4.0.3.
Anyidea where to find those? ff-memless.ko and xpad.ko?
Hey guys, I'm sorry to double post.
I have spent past few days with this matter, I simply do not know where else to ask anymore. My knowledge is not very good about ROMs and kernels.
I'm running ICS 4.0.3 now, and need those two files to get 360 pad working. ff-memless.ko and xpad.ko. I tried couple diferent ones I found from internet, but it says "exec format error". So it seems that kernel version is wrong.
Tablet is Zenithink C91. Any idea how/where to get right files?
Thank you for your help!

I have an HP Touchpad running the latest official nightly update...
I have the ff-memless.c and xpad.c for my device, I just need help turning them into/compiling them into .ko files...
Can somebody please help me with compiling? I just can't make sense of this guide on the CM wiki: wiki.cyanogenmod.c0m/wiki/Building_Kernel_from_source
