did the power button and low volume and renamed update.zip . . . no cigar ...borked!

hi I borked my acer. root went smoothly, but then I made mistake of trying to enable adhoc supplicant. I downloaded es explorer and used remount to enable rewrite to system/bin. Now everything disappeared. It will still load, but wifi shows error.
How do I return to stock?

First of all, this is not a development topic, and thus you should've posted in General.
From what you've said it is unclear what your precise problem is! In the subject you talk about flashing an update.zip, and in your post you talk about wpa_supplicant.
Does your tablet work other than the WiFi?
If so, you should simply copy back the original wpa_supplicant file you backed up before you amended it! You did back it up right?

Dave

Also, it sounds like you may have not set the correct permissions. If all you did was swap the wpa-supplicant file with the moddied one for our tablet that came from the Xoom, then make sure you reread the thread and set the correct permissions that it calls for. And like mentioned above, I hope you made a back up of your original, which was something that was also mentioned in the thread. There should not have been any update.zip involved with this process.

hi,
if you want the original Wpa_supplicant file i share mine here :
http://db.tt/zQFDCcX
but, you need to change permissions on the file modified,
you need to enable "mount R/W" and
for the 1st line check read/write/execute
for the 2nd and 3rd line check read/execute
bye,

[Q] Adhoc wpa_suplicant file for 3.1

Just updated to 3.1 (only had to put my old wpa_suplicant file back, didnt have to unroot), tried the adhoc enabled wpa_suplicant from 3.0 but wifi wouldnt turn on. has anyone got adhoc working yet with 3.1?
Thanks
tankstrr

I haven't tried it yet, but did you make sure to set execute permissions on the replacement file?

i used the exact same file i used in 3.0 (i never deleted either file during update, just renamed files to wpa_suplicantold and wpa_suplicantnew as needed). I check and did see the permissions were different between the 3.1 file and the old adhoc file, so i set the adhoc version to the same permissions (rwxr-xr-x) and bingo!!!
thanks for the help.

Im having the same problem & figured that was the cause, except I cannot find my old WPA-supplicant file, cant install 3.1, can someone please supply me with a copy of the old WPA-supplicant file! many thanks

here is my old wpa file

Just tried it and it worked for me too. Just looking at file sizes, it seems the wpa_supplicant file did not change in 3.1

placed in the copy of the original WPA-supplicant file, took out the current modified one, tried to install without success... that WPA file you uploaded doesnt have a file size, displaying 0 KB, while the old one had 289.03 KB, problem with the original WPA_supplicant file?

my bad, used a bad thumbdrive to transfer, retrasfered via direct usb, updated original post.

now my Wi-Fi states ERROR when installing that copy of WPA_Supplicant file. put in old (ad hoc friendly) file & still getting an ERROR. thinking I should have turned off wifi. any fix to this?
FIX:
had to select the WPA_Supplicant file, hit permissions, check/tick all the boxes in the first two columns and the first 2 in the last column.
Got it working! woohoo!
now to see if 3.1 will install...

3.1 Failed to install... WTF!
that was the only change I made to my tab.
could it be because its not my tab's original WPA_supplicant file?
anyway to bypass this to get 3.1 installed?

hi guys ...
i had exactly the same problem that HD87 described and this file helped and solved my issue..i'm now running Honeycomb 3.1
Solution posted by Bob here:
w w w.androidtablets.net/forum/acer-iconia-tab-a500-forum/18444-update-failed-help.html
Here's the WPA_Supplicant from my A500, after the 3.1 update. Hope this works for you guys.
I'm not sure what the extension is for the A500, but I had to add .zip to be able to upload it. Try removing the .zip before using it. Also, remove the 'original'. I added that to keep it straight on my tablet.
Good Luck.
Bob

YESSSSSSSSSSSSS...my iPhone 3GS ( jailbreaked, iOs 4.3.3 with MyWi software installed from Cyidia to make WIFI spot on 3gs ) it's again useful like hot-spot for my tablet.
Thanks man, that work perfectly for me and my honeycomb 3.1 on ACER Iconia.
ciao e grazie from Italy

maybe someone here can help me. I've been trying to get adhoc tethering on my new iconia without any success. I rooted the iconia, downloaded the wpa_supplicant file, moved the one from the 3.1 to the sd card, place the new one on the system/bin n changed the permissions to chmod 755 n I tried 775 as well. Rebooted the iconia n turned on the wifi again n all I get is wifi error. I am running 3.1 n I have tried multiple different wpa_supplicant files yet I still can't get it to work. I'm so frustrated, if anyone has any answers please help n thank u.

that happened to me once, putting it into flight mode, the turn on wifi, if you get he same error put back the original and start again.

I can confirm that this works on my 3.1 Honeycomb, tethered with my rooted Droid. Thanks!

worked on iconia a500 3.1
For me the same wpa_supplicant as provided for xoom worked. Works with Joikuspot on Nokia.

Does anyone know if any of these files work with 3.2? Im currently running 3.2 and wanted to get the ad-hoc working

Yay.. Thanks for this. I just got an Epic 4G Touch. Rooted it and installed wifi tether, but it only does adhoc. This file worked great!

Ad-hoc patch not working after OTA 4.010.13 upgrade

So I had the Ad-hoc patch working on my 3.1 4.010.11 using the Xoom's Wpa_supplicant file. I changed back to the stock wpa_supplicant file and then did a OTA upgrade to 4.010.13. rerooted and used es file explorer to copy back the xoom's wpa_supplicant and nothing in fact the wifi would not even turn on. Yes no wifi access at all. till i put back the stock wpa-supplicant. Any Ideas on a new patch?

Make sure the permissions on the supplicant file are correct. Just match the other files in the directory.
I had the same issue going from 3.0 to 3.1.

Thanks, that was it. Could not figure out what I was missing.

No problem. I spent about an hour trying to figure it out before I had the "Doh!" moment.

Thanks entropyiv for posting this.
So I'm a novice here... I had the ad-hoc patch running for quite a while and got the update that zrhodes posted about. I tried the same things and also couldn't get ad-hoc mode running. I tried changing the permissions in the wpa_supplicant file to match the other files in the system/bin folder, rebooted and it's still not working (A500 is rooted). Am I doing this correctly? Thanks in advance.
PS. The current permissions are rwxr-xr-x

It is possible the file got corrupted during transfer. Did you try downloading the supplicant file again? Other than the permissions, I can't think of what could be causing the issue.
Maybe this dhcp issue i have seen floating around?

Well this is curious. My GF and I both have HTC Touch Pro 2's and am using the wi-fi router application. It works using her phone, but not with mine. However, when I go to connect with the laptop to the phone, the "wifi router" shows up in the available network list. I try to connect using the tablet and it get's stuck in the obtaining IP loop. Well, didn't that frost me! So I had several version's of wi-fi router on my phone's sd card, tried installing another, and it works fine now. The wi-fi router application worked with my phone yesterday, before I updated to 4.010.13 GEN 2. Go figure...

One other thing to try is use Root Explorer to verify the owner and group of the file; long-press on wpa_supplicant file to bring up menu and select Change Owner. Make sure Owner is 0 - root and Group is 2000- shell. Copying the file into the folder using a file manager, or even simply extracting the file from a zip delivery, can change the file owner and/or group.
To avoid the permissions and groups issues w/ the wpa_supplicant file each update, I keep both the stock and ad-hoc files in the folder (/system/bin) and rename the files prior to installing any updates - the ad-hoc version gets renamed to wpa_supplicant.adhoc before updates and the stock version gets renamed to wpa_supplicant.stock after the update.

Install "fx explorer" and "fx root addon"
Copy apns-conf.xml from attached apns-conf-Lenovo a760.zip on your phone internal storage
Run fx explorer
Mount /etc fs as read/write (click on tools icon in fx explorer)
Overwrite apns-conf.xml in /etc

Hey, thanks so far BUT..
i did everything, it showed me the Overwrite/Merge option and i did so, but when i restarted the phone, it still displayed the APN list not complete thingy. Is it possible that my country's setting aren't in the other conf.xml file and if so is there anyway i can insert them in.

Check xml file if your mobile operator is included.
My (Tusmobil Slovenia) wasn't included in old xml file, but was in new one so now everything works fine.

Does this app need root access? I bought one of these (A760) for a friend of mine, but the phone is not able to create APN for lycamobile in UK (same problems mentioned in this thread).
Would installing he application from play market solve the problem? Or it will need root permission?

why when i open fx explorer root it says your device is not rooted? help me plz

problems with CWM
I've had quite a few problems before i managed to get it working:
1. flashed CWM from ADB, but every time I rebooted to recovery it was still the same (original)
2. So i had to install VROOT (http://www.mgyun.com/en/GetVRoot) to apply root and then renamed /system/recovery-from-boot.p to something else
3. Then i flashed CWM again and it worked.
4. I flashed AudiROMv1.zip from cwm.
Then my phone recognized MOBITEL (Slovenian) APN.

Why cant i view saved wifi password on rooted galaxy?

Looks like all those wifi recovery apps for rooted phones just give back a hex/binary code instead of the actual wifi password
anyway to decrypt these?

all wifi passwords are in a text file

It's difficult to give you an useful answer since you provided no details at all. You'll get better answers if you tell us exactly how you tried to recover a password, program names, versions, examples, et cetera.
