My work wi-fi network uses WPA2-PSK encryption/security, and I also use that on my home wi-fi network as well.
WM5 does not seem to support this.
Recently, I was playing around with one of the PDAVIET Windows Mobile 6 Roms on my phone, and I discovered that WPA2-PSK was supported and it worked great!
Unfortunately, that Rom wasn't really very stable (my phone would just randomly shut off with no warning or explanation), so I have returned to using a Windows Mobile 5 Rom.
It's more boring, but much more stable (seeing as I don't have a landline, I need my mobile phone to be reliable).
Anyway, since it seems like the issue is that of software, not hardware, does anyone on this forum know of a way to get WPA2-PSK support on WM5 devices without flashing to a WM6 Rom?
I imagine that this should be possible, but my google searches and forum searches so far have shown nothing.
(And shame on HTC/Microsoft for not providing some sort of update that provides this kind of basic functionality...I just bought this PDA/phone new 7 months ago, I don't like being "forced" to upgrade to a new device to get such a simple thing as software support for a standard wireless security protocol!)
Google for Juniper Odyssey Client or try an AKU3 WM5 Rom (Aserg).
After several WM6 tries, i installed ASERG 3.13 (AKU3) yesterday and it seems to work like a charm. For me, WPA-PSK support was one of the requirements, which works well with this image.
Thanks for the advice!
Was on a phone-flashing binge the past few weekends and I'm really busy now, but I will certainly give an ASERG AKU3 ROM a try in the near future.
Wifi Problem on WM6.5 Build 23529
I don't konw why, when I update Rom WM6.5 23529 my PPC can't connecte wifi. it's show this option below:
Authentication:
Open
Shared
WPA
WPA-PSK
Data Encryption:
TKIP
Before, I update this Rom I used WM6.1 it's have
Authentication:
Open
Shared
WPA2
WPA2-PSK
Data Encryption:
TKIP
AES-TKIP
I can connect via WPA2-PSK with data encryption AES-TKIP
but Rom WM6.5 23529 not have. how can I get it for this Rom? Help me please!

Hi,
is there any solution for getting LEAP working on Wizard. It seems that I-mate AKU 2 ROM has software for it since I can start LEAP program and add new entries, but it's not working - I can't connect to my corporate WLAN.
Is there any solution for this problem. Will this be at least in some new ROM, etc?
I'm in the same boat.
I've done countless searches and hours of investigation. Some have reported success, but I have contacted them and done exactly as they did and still no joy.
My network administrator claims that we are not using any restrictive protocols and/or options on our network and is also puzzled as to why it will not connect. It does attempt to connect to the AP, but authorization fails everytime.
I have official given up. If anyone can provide insight I believe that many would be indebited.
Perhaps you and the admin should take a look at the logs and figure out where it's stopping exactly? I haven't had the need to use LEAP yet so I can't really comment but a little sniffing around will probably tell you what's going on.
My main question is: Is LEAP working at all on Wizard? My previous device was iPAQ 4150 and it was working perfect using LEAP in my corporate WLAN - so I don't think that the problem is in some restrictions.
With the new AKU2 ROM came an add on for LEAP - the software is there, but is Wizard actually using entries that I enter there? It seems that it doesn't.
Well I have some encouraging news for you ...
My last PDA was also the 4150, and I could not get that working on our corporate WLAN either ... therefore ... you may have better luck than I.
Best of luck ... if you get it working, could PM me please.
Thanks, Greg
it's amazing why enterprises are still using the LEAP when its proprietary to cisco when many non proprietary types of EAP are easily available and better support..
PEAP for one is totallly free, offers similar if not stronger authentication and works with most recent windows operating systems
I have gotten it to work. The last version of Funk Odyssey works. You can download a trial from Juniper's website.
Is there any radio firmware, patch, or registry tweak that you can enable WPA2 or perhaps WPA+AES on 802.11g? I am running WPA+TKIP right now but wouldn't mind experimenting with something more. At home I have a Linksys WRT-54g router with DD-WRTv23 firmware. It's rock solid and has loads of features with the after market firmware.
I recently updated my Cingular 8525 to the latest firmware from Cingular/AT&T. I noticed that it is supposedly AKU 3.3, which I've seen screenshots with WPA2 as an option for Wifi. Unfortunately, WPA2 does not show up in my options like on the pics online. I have radio rom 1.34 if that matters. I did see there was a radio version 1.38 leaked from Italy but I'm wary of trying this if it's not going to make a positive difference.
Thanks in advance.
AFAIK at this time is not possible to use WPA2 on hermes. till now I flashed at least 7 versions ROM, but no one has WPA2 support. Many people awaiting this functionality. somebody correct me, if I am wrong.

It's possible, but requires third-party wireless supplicant. Got both wpa+aes and wpa2+aes working with Odyssey Access Client for windows mobile http://www.juniper.net/customers/support/products/aaa_802/oac_client_user.jsp

yes it is possible ....all we got to do is copy a file from my wizard aku3 rom or my crossbow and integrate into the rom....or i can suply the file but it will need to be signed in order to work .
Swedish?

The encryption part of the wi-fi stack is OS dependent so a radio upgrade really won't take you very far. There are a number of reports of a swedish AKU 3.3 ROM having WPA2 (prob'ly the source of the screen shots) though nobody's seems to say if there are more flavors than TKIP. See here for one. The fact it didn't make it on to the HTC official test ROM should tell you something though.
As an aside: I have personally been unable to connect two HERM200 (an 8525 and my TyTN) to APs with the encryption set to dual WPA/WPA2 and had to scale back to just WPA (APs involved: 2Wire and Netgear)- whatever the reason it doesn't bode well for the Herm200 wifi radio.
I tried installing the Juniper Odyssey client and my device became very slow. I was not able to connect to a network at my hopital that requires EAP-PEAP w CHAP5 (or something like that).
It was as though the Odyssey client competed with the built in wireless manger or something.
Did you guys have trouble installing and using Odyssey on the 8525?

I am using WPA + AES on my 8525. I am WM6 (check my sig)...I don't know if that matters or not....

I tried it on my TyTN (not upgraded, stock WM5), and it only added WPA+AES; not WPA2.

as described above... its embedded into the ROM.. therefore upgrade to AKU 3.3 or Windows Mobile 6 and you will have WPA2
As Walshieau said, you'll need a recent AKU. I can confirm that the .CAB listed above made my AKU 3.3 device WPA2 capable.
I was using it before I installed my current ROM. My ROM back then was the HTC WWE 2.05 ROM (AKU 3.3).
The ROM I'm using right now comes with WPA2 built-in. You might download that one if the functionality is that important to you.

Wow, i must being doing something Wrong. I upgraded to WM6 Black 2.5 and i still am not offered WPA of any kind. I am only offered WEP. I must not know how to to do it. I thought I was pretty good at this. Why would i not have it? Where do I go to set it up?

Did you run the cab attachment in my earlier post?
Yes - thanks to BKBroil .cab file.
I'm running Black Magic v3.0 on my Hermes with radio 1.48. Although there are drop down settings for WPA2 + AES & TKIP the wifi card would never connect (unless WEP or open encryption was used). But as soon as I installed the SPM_4379_02.cab (& restart) everything works as it should.
I'm using a PDA which bundled a WM6.1, I'm trying to connect my wireless which using Cisco LEAP but failed, I can do that using my previous WM5, anyone tried that successfully? Any comments are appreciated.
Anyone encountered the same problem?
many routers require firmware updates once in awhile to work with newer handheld wifi devices
but it's easy to update them and the manufactors got firmware updates one can dl
otherwise one can often fix issue just by restarting the router as in unpluggin it for 10sec and connect it again
think it's a dhcp issue
I used to have Cisco LEAP as an option with my previous WM5 device (Wizard) and it did work, however we quickly migrated away from LEAP once the WPA standard was adopted and integrated into the WiFi AP's we used (Cisco). I haven't used it for ages, nor have I seem any customers in the last 18-months or so with it still being used on their WiFi infrastructure.
I still have the LEAP option in the 'Wireless LAN' settings on my Kaiser so in theory it should still work, unfortunately I no longer have any WiFi networks I connect to that use LEAP where I could test it....
Implement WPA or WPA2 it's much more secure and you will likely get more support from other users.

Hello everyone!!
I installed NexusHD2-Gingerbread V2.8 ROM in my HTC HD2, everything works just perfectly, but when I try to access the wireless at work that has the SSID hidden and password protected with WEP encryption the wireless doesn't work at all, it says: "Not in range, WEP protected"
I have configured the network manualy, with static IP Address, Gateway, Net Mask, and DNS (all required to be able to connect to the network)
I have searched alot in google and in this Forum, but I failed to get a solution to my problem, I have installed programs like "Wifi Advanced", "WifiConnector", "Hidden SSID"... But none of them solved my problem.
When I had Windows Mobile 6.5 installed everything worked just fine, but since I moved to Android I failed everytime to connect to the wireless.
My System:
- HTC HD2 (bought new, unbranded)
- NexusHD2-Gingerbread_V2.8_NAND_(Android-2.3.4)
- Radio Leo 2.15.50.14
- MAGLDR_CWM_Recovery_v3.0.2.5_for_NexusHD2_135M
- HSPL 2.08
No one can help ?
This is really anoying
Am I the only person having this problem ?
No one have any idea how to solve this ??
Please help!!
Hi SmileXPT,
This is a irritating problem indeed. I use to have the same issue on some SD and NAND builds before, and the reason was the security settings of my router + MAC address filtering was enabled. It used to be WEP too, but nowadays it's advisable to use atleast WPA or WPA2 since it is more secure.
You could check if the router or accesspoint has MAC address filtering enabled. This means that the MAC address of your HD2 isn't in the whitelist of the router. In some Android builds the MAC address isn't unique, or the kernel isn't stable, for example: PPP is faster than RMNET but can drop out, RMNET is more stable but slightly slower.
You could also try Pongster's "HyperDroid-CM7-v2.1.0" build. I use it daily with a stable wifi connection for Whatsapp. I never had a dropout with the connection.
But what I wonder is:
- does wifi work @ other places?
- does your HD2 see other accespoints in the list?

Thank you very much for your answer!
I know WPA and WPA2 are more secure... but because the network I'm trying to access is of my Company, I can't change the settings of it... The MAC Address filtering is not active.
I'm going to try the build that you suggested and I will let you know if worked.
Thanks again for your time!
Thanks mister.halfblood, the "HyperDroid-CM7-v2.1.0" really works very well
Now I don't have any problem with the wireless
The only problem is... that I don't like the default theme is too dark...
Thanks again!

Hi SmileXPT,
you're welcome, no problem!
I use to have the same NAND build on my HD2. Also have a look at the latest GPS fix from Tytung's thread here.
It will for sure help you out getting a better and faster signal lock.
If you would like to change the theme I advise you to check out some skins for ADW, a lot of them are free to download on the market.
Well, I'm glad all has worked out for you! Have a nice weekend!
Peace!
Today I dug out my trusty old XDA Exec, gave it a re-charge and was totally surprised when it started up fine and started my trip down memory lane!
One obstacle I soon stumbled over was connecting to a modern WiFi access point that uses WPA/WPA2 with TKIP or AES encryption.
I have now spent some 6 hours searching the forums on here for an answer to my question but as yet, I haven't found one and wondered if some kind more XDA experienced person could come up with a quick answer?
My question is really quite simple and straightforward. Bearing in mind that my XDA Exec (Universal) is running the last ROM update that was produced by O2 (Xda_Exec_Upgrade_v1.30.162), is there any sort of driver patch for the WiFi on my XDA that can be applied which will bring the WiFi up to date (so to speak) and allow it to connect to a router using WPA2 and AES encryption or does it require a complete change of ROM to something else?
If the answer to that latter part is "change the ROM", which ROM could I go for that would fully work for my device?
All and any answers much appreciated.

Hi Colin,
Am experiencing similar wifi issues with Tomal's build with windows 6.1 professional
would be great to find a cleaned up 2016 build for windows mobile 6.1 professional with WPA etc
TIA
