Can't connect to Eduroam - Hero, G2 Touch General

I've been trying to connect to my university Wifi (eduroam) for quite a while now- but having no luck at all. Is there anything special I need to do to get this working? Really need wifi on my htc hero while im at uni Help please.

may i ask what uni?
wifi helper on the market should be able to configure it although i couldn't get it to work with my hero. so ive JUST configured the wpa_supplicant.conf manually for eduroam at UCL...
since im not on campus atm i will report back results tomorrow to see if it works

Hahh!! Im UCL too!

university shouldn't matter, eduroam is a multi-university service
it certainly worked on my hero, though I can't check that now (don't work there any more)
security wpa (or wpa2, can't remember) enterprise, eap PEAP, subtype MSCHAPv2

ok ive got eduroam to work
you will need to download the GTE CyberTrust Global Root certificate in pem format ( i have renamed it to eduroamcert.pem below)
these are the settings for wpa_supplicant i have used to get it to work:
Code:
network={
ssid="eduroam"
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP
eap=TTLS
phase2="auth=PAP"
anonymous_identity="[email protected]"
identity="[email protected]"
password="XXXXXX
ca_cert="/sdcard/eduroamcert.pem"
priority=3
}
doesnt matter what priority you use.
edit::
forgot to mention XXXX for identity is not ur email alias, rather what you use to log in, in the computer rooms

Hiya,
Sorry for the insanely late reply lol- have been busy with coursework- hence not being able to come here often. Only been trying to follow your instructions here to get eduroam working on my Hero...but I'm struggling.
Can you please tell me how I install the GTE cybertrust cert into my hero?? Ive downloaded the file....it d'loaded as a zip file. Do I extract it...then move it to the hero sd card??
And to access wpa_supplicant i need to use the windows command window while the htc is hooked up with my pc in recovery mode right?? and then I write in the code you showed me?

hi mate, dont worry about all the stuff above, you dont need it to connect to eduroam. just follow the instructions here (obviously with your own uni's settings and not oxfords):
http://www.oucs.ox.ac.uk/network/wireless/services/eduroam/android/

Eduroam networks generally use the recommended EAP-TTLS/PAP as authentification, which is not supported by the GUI utilities. It is true that some places (Oxford is amazingly good with their network services) offer alternatives like PEAP/MSCHAP precisely because mobile devices are often lacking other options. It all depends on your local network setup.

I just got back to Cambridge, and Eduroam works fine with an Orange Hero.
Go to wifi settings:
EAP Type = PEAP
Sub Type = PEAPc0/MSCHAPv2
Username = CRSID email address (ie. [email protected]) - NB Case sensitive
Password = Network token available from https://tokens.csx.cam.ac.uk/ (need to log in with Raven to this page)

It would be interesting to know where to find this wpa_supplicant thing, so I could edit it.
My university uses same GTE_CyberTrust_Global_Root protocol with eduroam. I've tried PEAPv0/MSCHAPv2 didn't worked.

i think what you think of is EAP-TTLS (the GTE_.. is just a CertificationAuthority, if i am not wrong). as it was said, you can edit the wpa_supplicant file, somewhere in /data/etc/wifi/, if remember correctly. you could also wait for the 2.1 update, which will bring native support for this EAP-type which works very well.

I've HTC Desire, so I believe it's already runing 2.1. Though it connects to eduroam, but web pages and other stuff doesn't work.
Had Nokia and iPhone, both automatically downloaded all security stuff connecting first time.. and Android OS has some strange issues with eduroam wi-fi.

Here is a fix realmb.com/2010/01/android-certificate-installer/ you can install any security certificate using this to Android 1.6 and above.

Soz to dig up an old thread but I think it's relevent..
I've been trying to get my hero (T-mob G2) onto eduroam for ages, and I wanted to make the additions to wpa_supplicant but I don't know how to get access to the file system - I only seem to be able to mount the sdcard and not anything higher. I haven't rooted my phone.. is this why?
Thanks for any help :/

Umm yes. You must root first, and then remount using adb remount for this to work.
Easiest way is to install a custom ROM on your phone, as that will give you root

wpa_supplicant help

Can some help with what is in the wpa_supplicant.conf before I edited mine, as I didn't backup.
I just used the one I had from my G1, but now when I turn on Wifi it can't scan and turns off wireless. I assume their is some difference.
Previously I had:
ctrl_interface=tiwlan0
update_config=1
network={
fill in the blanks etc.
}
Your help would be much appreciated.
Cheers
I'm pretty sure that contains instructions on how to your system uses wifi. I'm pretty sure you can't dump one from a different phone. Why are you trying to modify it? I want to mod it so i can connect to ad hoc networks
I want to edit so I can connect to my works wifi, which is a university. It uses TTLS-PAP, these options do not come up when I try and connect.
The info at the top should be the same as on all phone of the same model I suspect.
If someone can't provide me the info, I suppose I will have to reflash.
Cheers.
update_config=1
ctrl_interface=DIR=/data/system/wpa_supplicant GROUP=system

How to connect to a Mobile HotSpot. 2ways.

Hi guys,
Since the mobile hot spot is an adhoc networks, so tablet cannot recognise it
directly.
So I found a instruction which is called can solve this problem.
We simply replace the original wpa_supplicant with the new one.
And put it in /System/Bin/.
I did the root and copy, but it still cannot find the adhoc hotspot for me.
So anyone have any idea?
Solution 1: solving it with the magic "wpa_supplicant"
Solution 2: changing the configuration of hotspot in my mobile to a normal wifi.
I'm waiting for anyone who can solve this.
Cheers
Winston
Hmm. I have a mytouch 4G and the A500 connects to the hotspot easily. No mods, rooting etc. needing.
Is this in relation to phones that are using less than carrier proposed methods for enabling hotspots?
Hi Neo,
According to what I have had known so far, it seems that google blocks this function,
so someone modified the wap_supplicant to enable the hotspot functionality.

Solution 2 depends on your specific phone and its implementation. My Droid for instance doesn't support infrastructure hotspot (outbound), so I had to use the "magic wpa_supplicant" approach. Other phones may support infrastructure mode, either directly or through a 3rd-party wifi tether app.
In terms of solution 1 - if you get the wpa_supplicant (apparently a new version has been posted for those of us w/ 3.1 update) you also need to reset the permissions on the file to match that on the original file (which I know you backed up, right? ); easiest way would be through Root Explorer and set Read: (Owner/Group/Others), Write (Owner only) and Execute (Owner/Group). I'm too lazy to remember what the Terminal Emulator chmod command would be
As a reminder to all who do choose to replace wpa_supplicant, keep a copy of the original file, you never know when Acer's going to require a specific original file for any future updates (wpa_supp wasn't needed for the 3.0.1 update but was for 3.1)
Yes I would say do not delete or move the old file just rename by adding old to end of file name. Its how I done it renamed did the update changed back. And now all is well again.I used the same replacement file from before. No need for a new. Version
Hi Vereyn,
Thanks a lot.
Could you please provide the link to download?
Frankly, I have tried all wpa_supplicant in this forume.
None of them works for me.
My version is Android 3.0.1
Acer ICONIA A5011, rather than A500.

Soo... Which rock have you been hiding under exactly? This is pretty old news, and there are already a few threads detailing exactly what you need to do... Hell, there's one on the first page of this forum section!
Dear Floating,
Could you please send the link to me? or at least give me the title of that article which
you are talking about?
Because it disappeared again now >_<;
Again,
yes there are many ad hoc articles, but none of them work for me....

[TUTORIAL] How to change wi-fi MAC addres on CyanogenMOD and others rom's based on it

I found a simple way to change wi-fi MAC address on Ace. Only watch you needed is Root Explorer. Follow this instruction:
1. If your wi-fi is on turn it off
2. Open Root Explorer and go to the /data folder
3. Find and select via long touch the file .nvmac.info
4. Use the option "Open in Text Editor"
5. Change the MAC address to the what you want (I suggest to insert the letters as big characters).
6. Touch the menu button and select "Save & Exit"
7. Torn on you wi-fi and connect to the preferred network. You Ace should connect to the network witch the new MAC address
Note! This change aren't permanent, when you reboot you phone the MAC address goes back to the original. Only test on CyanogenMOD, but working on other rom's based on CM. Not tested on stock rom's and other custom rom's (if you can test it on stock rom's or stock based rom's and it works tell my I will include this information to the post). Use at own risk.
What is the practical use, may I know? Does it help clear timed downloads?
Why change your mac address?

Well it helps me change to a MAC address that my college Wifi recognises, i can even connect using my phone (i.e. my laptop registered with them)
This+TransProxy made my day
ok i don't know about you but if this tutorial ends up as a means to perform MAC spoofing, the user will end up on the wrong side of the law. Be warned.
Can i use laptop mac address?
satti8893 yes, why do think that you can't?
ok how about this.. any way to retrieve the list of wifi passwords your device has stored?

don't be so sure. some home users don't even enable authentication OTA from their access points and some just enable MAC filtering.
fyi, encryption results in a degeneration of the 2.4Ghz radio signal to a limited extent. As a result, some people resort to broadcasting in open and only using MAC filtering.

No such file in CyanoGenMod v10 (but I have an Asus EEE Transformer). I did a search within all directory structure: it is not there .
So this system is not valid for any CyanoGenMod ROM.

Eap-peap-ttls ?

The router at work requires WPA/8021x-PEAP/TTLS/MSCHAPv2, and my rooted NST does not accept that. So I copied from my CM7-running nook color the relevant info from /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf and entered that into the said file on NST (using root explorer). I also checked the permission of this file (chmod 660). But I still cannot get connected, after turning wifi on/off and also rebooting it.
Any suggestions?
THANKS!
I don't know if its a stock android issue, as my university uses that kind of network security and I can't acces it no matter what config I use on my stock android (using 2.3.4).
Is it stuck on Obtaining IP address?

Stupid question: How can I tell?
Like I said I edited wpa_supplicant, reboot, and nothing happens. Alternatively, I tried to use BN's setting apk and entered the username + password, and again nothing happended.
you can install e.g. catlog app and check your logs
Don't you need the right certificates installed for TLS? Maybe the NST (which wasn't designed for Web browsing) doesn't have them installed.

[FIX] Wifi fix for Eduroam connections - 02/02/2012

Hello.
As many of us know GingerDX and other ROMS has issues with Eduroam connections across the world. Fortunately ex-xda? user holgerg123 found the solution to this problem. Thanks mate!
You could read this here.
I've made Clockworkmod scripts to make installation easier.
There's 4 versions (for me works the 1st one)
Version 1
Version 2
Version 3
Version 4
and file for those, who screwed something
Original wpa_supplicant from GingerDX v022
Rapidshare mirror
Installation:
1. Disable wifi, open Root Explorer or similar app, go to system/bin and rename wpa_supplicant to eg. wpa_suplicant.old
2. Download file
3. Put it into sd-card
4. Reboot to CWM
5. Install downloaded update
6. Reboot!
And you should be able to connect to your University's network.
And remember that you could brick your phone as always. You have been warned.

i don't know what is wifi eduroam?what its benefit?
Sent from my E15i using xda premium
It's the type of network used in many universities and high schools across the world. It uses PEAP/MSCHAP2 security and unfortunately GingerDX was not able to connect properly. This fix gives you ability to have free wifi Internet on your university (of course if you are in eduroam's range )
Nice

Great Job! Eduroam now works on GingerDX.
I also used Version 1.
Thanks very much ...
Is it necessary to use CWM?
Not enough if I simple copy the wpasupplicant file to system/bin directory?

You can of course also manually replace the files instead of flashing through CWM!
Just don't forget that the phone has to be rooted, you need to use a File Manager capable of gaining root rights (Root Explorer, Root Browser) to write into /system, you need to adjust the permissions of the file you copied.
it works =)
and i'm not SE Xperia X8 user
i'm HTC Desire user
thank you very much
i'm not found this problem in my university..
n i dont know different beatwen wifi b/g or n
Oh, god! Thank you very much for this fix! I spent at least one or two weeks looking for ROMs that allowed me to connect to Eduroam networks. I found out that MiniCM7 based ROMs worked great, so I started using GingerXperiaRay.
But now, I've flashed GingerDX and I'm so... so... happy!
By the way, this is my feedback:
Version 1: the only one working for me.
Version 2: it didn't seem to connect Eduroam networks. I don't know if it even could connect any random network.
Version 3: I got 'Error' in my Wi-Fi settings.
Version 4: this file seems to be the same than the original one (same MD5 checksum).
I'm using a MSCHAPv2, PEAP, certificate...
I'm glad I was able to help. You could hit thanks if you want
Nice to see, that fix I proposed half year ago on #cyanogenmod was built at last
android 4 + 802.1x?

with android 2.x.x it worked fine. i could connect to every f* network i wanted.

PEAP
MSCHAPV2
CA-Cert: not needed (the admin's answer to my question)
User-Cert: no

Anon: not needed
PW: *correct*
since i've got android 4 on my SGS2 it doesn't work any more. (a friend of mine has got an iphone - he has not got any problem with that)
i don't want to flash my phone back to android 2
now it's rooted and flashed with RomMIX_byRush_ICS.4.0.3_XXLP4
i've spend hours and hours to find a solution for this problem (google, PocketPc.ch, xda-developers.com, ...) but couldn't.

Hello all,
Since the release of android 4.x it was impossible to connect to some networks 802.1x PEAP (like EDUROAM).
The French internet provider FREE has recently published a rom for SGS2, which solves this problem.
So, I try to extract the wpa_supplicant binary from this rom and inject it in CM9 on my Galaxy S, and now everything work.
The wpa_supplicant binary file is here https : // docs . google . com / open?id=0B1rR4JYQ9hnGVy13SnZqZGVCYmM (sorry but i can't post an url, because of spam system, delete space), if some people want to try on other device, just copy it in /system/bin/

PS: Sorry for my english...
Hey guys,
I installed the version 1 and at the end of the process, when I turn up the Wi-Fi, it gets me "Error" and i'm not able to use the Wi-Fi.
I also tried the version 4 but the problem persists.
How should I do?
Thanks.

Try other versions. If not, go back to original WiFi supplicant.
In the CMW Recovery, should I click on "Install update from zip" or on "Install zip from SD card" ?
Maybe I do something wrong..
