Can't connect to Eduroam

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

How many with WiFi DHCP issues on Stock 3.1?

Hi,
Just wanted to find out how many people are having the WiFi disconnection/reconnection issue?
I'm thinking of delving deep into the frameworks to fix it, but I'm not sure if it is just a few devices (including mine) or more of a systematic problem.
Thanks

i had the same problem over the last few days. If factory reset didn't work it was a reflash. It works for me now but you never know when it's gonna crash out again.
currently running your 3.1 rooted rom and i'm in Sydney if that makes any difference.

had this issue with the leaked 3.1, Acer_A500_3.019.01_COM_GEN1. i'm using the new stock OTA Acer_A500_4.010.07_COM_GEN1 and haven't had that problem since i upgraded. i'm connecting my Iconia to a home router and a mobile hotspot and both work without problems.
A. if you're rooted, you can just delete dhcpcd-wlan0.lease located in /data/misc/dhcp and try reconnecting.
B. if not, you can try this:
1. Forget the connection
2. Reconnect to the hotspot, this time using Static IP instead of DHCP.
3. Assign a valid IP Address and connect.
i always do option B when i was having the issue.
hope this helps.

Just delete this file in term or root explorer whenever the issue occurs.
/data/misc/dhcp/dhcpcd-wlan0.lease

[Solved] Problem with Wifi, it doesn't works

Hi, Today I unrooted Nook, updated to 1.0.1, and rooted it again, all perfect.
Then I installed Root Explorer, and pushed the wpa_supplicant on the sdcard.
Then I copied it from my sdcard to /data/misc/wifi, and overwritted the default one, I did this before and all OK, I need to do this because my university has TTLS PAP and I can't configure it from the B&N Wifi manager, but I forgot I had Wifi connected, and now, it says Unable to start Wi-fi, I tried putting again the default one, but the same happens.
I powered off the Nook 2 times but the problem still.
What should I do? Try a factory reset? I'm scared :S
PD: I rooted with TouchNooter so I don't have a backup image
Sorry for my english too xD
EDIT: I solved it deleting the supplicant and turning on wifi, it created a new one and solved it. Sorry for the post :\
EDIT2: I finally solved it, I had to add a new network from the manager, saved it, and then open Root Explorer, and edit the supplicant manually changing the WPA-EAP to TTLS and the authentication phase to PAP. I don't know why it happened, on the 1.0.0 I did the same and nothing happened :S.
Sorry for the inconvenience ^^u

Just a note, if you root with TouchNooter you can unroot with nookRestore (by ros87, available at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1289233 ) without any difficulty at all. If you ever mess anything up, it's a good way to fix things. A factory reset doesn't typically wipe everything so it's not something you really need to worry about.

another note. You can't see and connect to adhoc p2p (non access point) networks like a computer or joikuspot for tethering. Dont know why. Might be easy to enable...

Yeah I had to use nookRestore 2 days ago, I had some problems and needed a reset.
I love there's an app for tunneling by SSH your nook, so I can connect to IRC in my university

By the way, I just found out the NookTouch can only see accesspoints - no adhoc networks. So you can't connect to your computer direct. But of a bummer if on the move - you'd have to carry round a WiFi access point.
Hopefully this can be enabled.
Just thought I better let people know because I was going crazy trying to figure out why my Nook wasn't seeing some networks!

CM7 Kang Wifi Problems

Thread to discuss how to solve wifi problems on cm7 kangs with the new kernel & wifi driver, like my kang here: http://kan.gd/1h7f
updated: wifi problem fixed, fix here: http://kan.gd/1h8g flash with clockworkmod.
problem with phone not waking up after long calls still exists, that will be fixed tomorrow.

Wbaw, I installed your latest KANG (cm-7.2.0-blade-KANG-wbaw-120225), and also have the same wifi problem, like here. (Can not post there, because I haven't got the 10 posts)
Wiped and format everything before install. It says "scanning...connecting...disconnected". I've tried everything from changing the encryption, to changing the SSID, nothing helped. I have a Linksys WAG54GS router, "G" network, channel 10 - 2.457GHZ, encryption is WPA2-PSK. Attached a logcat log from boot, if it helps recognizing what's the problem.
With other KANG and with older kernel & wifi driver, my phone connects to my home wireless network.
Thank you for your help!

I'll probably have to make a couple of test kernels for you, it looks like the new wifi driver is failing. It's either the new driver & kernel source or wifi undervolting, but I don't think it's due to undervolting.
You can also try this kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22887053&postcount=92 it's the same except I removed some useless looking files from the wifi driver for the kang, they're in that package.
I'll make a couple of packages tomorrow for testing.
If you have any problems with my kernel, please use the issue tracker, open an issue there & I can respond: https://github.com/John-Kenney/zte-turies-35/issues

I will open an issue in the issue tracker tomorrow.
Right now i have to get data back from my SD card, because i accidentally formatted it...

You probably know that by now, that the new wifi driver works only with 802.11b network, so if your router was set to "G-only", the phone could not connect. Of course mine was set to that. I set to "mixed", and it connects without problem.
Can't wait to test your kernel for the GPU overclock Thanks!

Seems strange, it seems to connect at 'g' speeds for me, but my router is set to 11b/g/n auto.
It looks like the new wifi driver causing the problem rather than the kernel, unfortunately I think it's the only wifi driver that works with the new kernel source.

[SOLVED] Wi-Fi MAC Address changing every time wifi goes off/on or with reboot

A brief history of what I've been through before this issue:
My Pro came with 2.2 Froyo from verizon, then flashed Vanilla's CM7 v8 (which is the absolute best ROM I've tested for this phone); no wifi mac address problem here. Then I messed up by installing another recovery, semi-bricked, and forced to SBF to stock Verizon 2.3.3 gingerbread. Then rooted with Pete's Motorola Root Tools, flashed recovery, kernel, wiped, and once again to Vanilla's CM7 v8.
After all this mess, my Wi-Fi MAC address is changing every time wifi goes off/on or reboot, and this is pretty inconvinient for me since both my workplace and home networks have MAC address filter, and changing the router configuration every time I'm forced to reboot my phone is not an option.
YES, I've flashed the Kernel that the developer provides with the ROM.
YES, I've tried reflashing both the rom and the kernel the way the diveloper suggests, doing system/data/cache wipes in between.
NO, this was not happening the first time I've flashed this ROM.
Any suggestions?
Please help!!
SOLVED READ BELOW!

Fix found
Here's the MAC address fix for your Pros running CM7. If you have had an issue connecting to wifi, it's probably because each time the device's wifi is restarted, a new MAC address is generated which will clog up your router as you can easily run out of IP addresses to lease to each and every new MAC address that's generated each time your device's wifi is restarted. The link can be downloaded here. The instructions are simple:
1. Flash CM7MAC.zip (attached) in clockwork no need to wipe anything
2. "Activate it" by going into the terminal emulator app, typing "su" (without the quotes) then typing "mac-address-fix.sh" (without the quotes). A bunch of weird symbols should come up, but that's normal.
What this does is it auto-generates and writes your permanent MAC address to a file called called nvs_map.bin under /data/misc/wifi/nvs_map.bin. It will remain there and your MAC address will remain the same unless you wipe your /data whereas you will simply have to redo it
Note: if you get an error message in the terminal after doing the fix, make sure your Wi-Fi is turned on and you're connected to a network
For CM7, download -->

hi!
my phone does the same, each time WIFI is turned on it generates a temporary MAC address, but the file you mentioned (nvs_map.bin) can't be found in /data/misc/wifi...
could you help me please how the map_gen file is generated? i don't have CWM so i can't flash the zip file, but i have a terminal and two hands
thx

Do we have anything for Android 4.2?

** How can I turn on Wi-Fi when there's no mac-address? No mac-address, no network! **​

Hi,
I tried running this shell script but seems like its not executed successfully ... reason i believe so is ...
1. i dont see any wierd symbols coming up ... just a pause for a couple of seconds.
2. i dont see the "/data/misc/wifi/nvs_map.bin' file in the said location.
Please help.
thnx

Is there a solution for this in Marshmallow?

yes this is the best solution
Thanks. This process worked well on my lenovo s650 cyanogenmod 13 custom rom. But could someone explain what is really happening through this solution?

my oppo f1s 64gb, it was dead, recovered working fine, but each restart it changes mac id, and remove all wifi stored connections
is there any solutions?

Seems its pretty common for MediaTek chipsets.
Thanks for the video link!
