In the case of an Android-like OS, you need hooks in the OS to modify network devices and routes as a normal user. Focus less on things that they're not going to support (root access) for security reasons. Focus instead on the desired functionality (VPN access) and what needs to be added to Android to add that functionality. > To suborn it into running (eg) openwrt you need to go after either the > tftp bootloader or the standard (root) flash method. Or you use the Web UI, depending upon the model. Works fine. I've done it a few times myself. HTC historically had a good track record of flashing updates (see the xda-developers work). I don't know if they had to somehow get the keys to make their stuff work, or if the G1 is locked down more than other HTC devices. It's certainly disappointing that you can't load your own firmware (at least, not presently), and I can only hope that other devices (e.g., the rumored Asus device) will support that feature. But this is a hardware issue more than an Android issue -- there are plenty of other non-Android devices with similar flashing limitations, AFAIK. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 1.3 Published! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
