The first thing to note is that you need root access to your tablet - unless your manufacturer explicitely supports external modems.

Thanks for your valuable reply....

I have created root from http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/and ... feiyu.html. I tried to do something with this tutorial http://freedune.wordpress.com/2011/06/2 ... n-android/, but failed.

Please give me proper guideline for how to create root then how to make support for them....

Sorry, I can't help you there.

"Rooting" Android is very device-specific; it may well be that there is no rooting method for your tablet yet. You will have to use Google to find out.

Alternatively, there are "Custom ROMs" (like the oe you tried) which provide a complete new system to devices. Root access is usually enabled in these by default.
Again, you would have to make sure that a custom ROM is known to be working on your specific tablet model.

Please, rashednoman, don't ask me about your device. I don't know it.

Ask on other forums which mention it specifically.
Ask the creator of the fix package.

Hi Josh,
Finally I have made root in device. I checked it by root checker. Now can you tell me what to do for 3g modem support?

Well, this is very good timing ... I just finished a test version of an Android widget which includes the whole set of tools from usb_modeswitch to pppd.

If you want to try it, you can download the package and install it from your device storage:
http://www.draisberghof.de/android/PPPWidget.apk

I assume you have the "Superuser" app on your tablet. If not, install it and make sure the "su binary" is up to date (see "i" button in the program).

In the widget, you need to enter at least your access point (APN) and your auth strings (user, password) on the config page.

Also, the dial command is fixed to "ATD*99***#" in this version. If this does not work with your provider, you have to wait until tonight (GMT) when I'll add an option to edit the dial command.

Hi Josh,

Thanks...

I am waiting your next update because your dialing number is different from mine.... I am testing with various available modem.....

I just uploaded the new version - same link.

Now you can edit the dial command on the setup page.

Note that the PIN protection of the device must be disabled.

rashednoman, were you able to test the Android app?

Hi Josh,

Sorry for late reply. Thanks again for your help. It works in my ELF -2 with various GSM/CDMA carrier provider. Most of devices from ZTE. I have another query about Wimax. Do you have any solution for wimax ?

Regards,

Rashed

No, I don't know how to include WiMax.

Maybe I'll consider that issue later, after solving existing problems with 3G connections.
