WiFi Tether for Root Users won't encrypt its signal - G1 General

I just recently rooted and installed Cyanogen 4.0.2, primarily to get WiFi tether going. It works just fine for the most part, but no matter how I set it up it refuses to apply WEP encryption. I have the checkbox checked and a passphrase saved, but when I turn on the tether and look it up on the PC, it says "unencrypted connection" and lets me connect to it without a password.
Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

I have the same problem with cyanogen 4.0.4.
If you figure it out let me know

Have you tried looking at the Show Log option and checking for any errors? If no errors are showing up in the WT4R log, install a log collector or hook the phone up via adb and dump out the logcat. That should shed some light on the problem.
FTR I have no problems creating an encrypted connection on JF1.51 ADP1.

How do I unpatch from 3.003 back to 2.004?

My 3.0.0.3 patch has somewhat corrupted my internet explorer, I just can't have access to it through my wifi.
Else, how can I possibly remove all the things I've installed, because I'm thinking they have corrupted my registry or something, my wifi connects for awhile and disconnect itself too.
You may try to install 'ad-hoc patch' from acer.co.uk and you'll be able to connect to your laptop or the thing that is your wifi access point

Solution Wifi Android 2.2 Schlunds

I have no permissions to publish to HD Mini ROM Development, published the solution here.
I have the solution to put wifi in Android 2.2 of Schlunds, the problem is in the process "htcUPCTLoader.exe" not allowed to continue with the process.
The assignment of IP must be static, do not get the IP automatically
Here I leave kernel with the new install
TESTED ONLY WITH ANDROID 2.2 Schlunds
Sorry for my bad English
hey thanks man
maybe u will find a fix for derefas sd card fix too?
Does not work for me. The zImage and Module are exactly the same files I use.
The Problem ist not the htcUPCTLoader.exe process.
tzacapaca send me his working 2.2. image and it still dont work for me.
The reason must be something else...
Perhaps bootloader or startup.txt?

Or the Windows Mobile rom used?
After trying the Android images, I had a lot of GPS issues under WinMo (not working anymore). At the end it was fixed, but could it be that the WinMo roms can be of influence on Android?

I start to believe is this...i'm gonna use use Stock ROM and i will keep you posted if it will be any changes
nsourm has a dualbootloader in his ROM
Maybe its better to boot Android not from "within" WinMo.
Can someone test that?

In my case the prob was "htcUPCTLoader.exe" it was not allowing deamon to start..so i had to kill it and then run the run.bat file....
Can u try it this way..??..connecting the Mini with pc..running run.bat...after that killing htcUPCTLoader.exe process in task manager..and then running run.bat file again..??.... it might work....if not..then there's no harm done
I dont need to try. The kernel module file (*.ko) in the image is updated. So the problem (at least for me) is not adb push. must be something different.
Codiak, your not alone. I am also not able to turn WiFi on. Do you get Error when you go to the settings to turn it on? It's like its not picking up the WiFi on the mobile.
The only thing I changed was adding in the run.bat
Code:
taskkill / F / IM htcUPCTLoader.exe
On beginning of everything, to finish the process before starting the adb. I haven't touched anything of the files zImage and adb.exe

This is my system (android 2.2) running Wifi.

Its the same behavior as the fixed module was not installed.
If you tab Wifi, it just grays out and do nothing. No error message.
See, im on the standard ROM. And no matter what I try, I get the same.
Ok, so it not seem to be WiMo ROM related. I use a custom one.
So my last idea is the bootloader (haret)...
Okay everybody, I noticed something:
I could patch the bcm4329.ko file, after android booted. Now you have to restart android in order to enable wlan. Often it happend to me, that an error in the android wifi settings showed up. So I went back to windows mobile and checked my wifi setting there.
As I've also encountered the GPS problem, where one had to switch GPS on and off again in android to make it work in windows again I also tried it with wlan. Before I run haret, I switched off wlan in windows. Now android was able to initialize and start wlan.
Also it was not possible for me to enable wifi, if the usb cable was still connected to the phone before the first successful operation of wlan. Afterwards it surprisingly also worked with a connected cable. Since I'm at work now, I can not test wlan itself, as it is only possible to connect via DCHP here. This evening I'll try to do so with a static IP.
By the way, this dynamic vs. static IP thing is a common problem in froyo. You'll find a lot of discussions in the internet for other devices like samsung galaxy and so on.

It worked, mine no longer displays as error. But I dont have any WiFi's to connect to as im also at work. But it looks much more promising.
Just we need to start looking into getting the battery reconised by Android, having to go into Windows to charge my phone.

Unfortunately there wasn't any precise error message. As you said it only was greyed out with "Fehler" (error) written below the wlan switch. It's strange that there still isn't any solution working for everyone.
For me, no "Fehler" came up. Just grayed out. Same behavior like I never applied the patched module. But i can see the patched .ko file in the phone
I´m using tzacapaca patched ext2 file that works for him...

[Q] I can't access the internet via Data Connection

Hi All,
I have recently installed the DFT ROM om my HD2, I want to sync my contacts using my Windows Live account.
I got this message every time I tried to access the network data connection:
"can't connect
We're having a problem connecting to windows live. make sure you have good reception. if you do, the problem may be on the other end. wait a little while and try again"
and if I tried to access gmail:
"Not updated We're having a problem connecting to m.google.com. try again later.
Error Code: 80072FA8"
I tried both data connection and 3G connection.
does this ROM have such problems? what is the best ROM to install instead of my current ROM?
All the other roms are directly based off the original DFT rom. Only major difference would be the chevron is built in. Was fantastic for me since I had all sort of connect problems with chevron. I would use a rom that has that built in.
As far as data goes you would probably have to enter your apn. I had to. Or an easier way would be to load a rom that had chevron built in and download HTC Connection Setup from the market or sideload it and that should straighten that out.

Change WiFi MAC Address

Has anyone been able to change their WiFi MAC using any ROM/kernel/script/tweak? I know it's possible and I know how to do it via busybox "ip" commands. After I remove all associated AP's, bring down eth0, change eth0's hwaddr, confirm the change with "ip show eth0" and try to reassociate with a WPA/WEP it will not connect and logs show it fails to connect after "authorizing." I have a feeling that there needs to be a change in the wpa_supplicant conf file or in one of the init scripts to fix the issue but I have not been successful.
If any devs can point me in the right direction that would be awesome. I know I could make a simple script to change it if I knew why it won't authorize. Many access points require 00:XX as the beginning of a WiFi MAC or the device gets rejected due to a spoof attack on several routers. Thanks!

[Q] Lost Wifi Router after trying to switch to android

I loaded the CM Internet Sharing file to my HD2 several months ago and it has been working just fine. Recently my friend was trying to load Android to my phone and was unable to do so. After messing with my phone he some how lost my wifi router file. When I click on the icon I get an error message stating "The file 'CMInternetSharing cannot be oppened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If problem persist try reinstalling this file."
I tried to reinstall but it will not allow me to. Any ideas on whats happening here?
