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.
Cheers

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....

As for the articles not working... If they're not working for you, maybe you're doing something wrong or missing one of the steps?

Hello, I'm having an issue, I'm rooted with the nand unlock method. I was on flipz .1d but have now moved to .2. I've had this issue a number of times now specificly the "unable to turn on" which seems to be caused by the owner of the /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf file changing to root. but I am not sure what causes the unable to scan for networks to happen.
Some of the things I have done that seem to be a part of the cause: I ran flipz vanilla lock screen fix and I team douche menu unlock, both seem to make changes to /system/framework/
anyone that might know where to look to fix the scan issue? I've searched the forum and have seen a few people have the problem but no solutions yet.
Was having the same problem (came across your post from a Google search).
I got a hint from code.google.com (can't post the link). I renamed the /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf to /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.bak (rather than delete it), rebooted and all is well.
Seems you can just delete the file, and it'll be respawned on a reboot.
I am having this problem, but on a vibrant that has not been rooted yet.
I cant seem to find the wpa_supplicant.conf, I have tried browsing for it using the built in file manager and using ASTRO, but the data directory is always empty.
Is there a way to fix this without rooting the phone?
if your phone has not been rooted then that means your phone is f**ked up and might need to be exchanged. but this is the evo forum not vibrant. the only way to mess with system files is to be rooted
Appreciate info*, worked in a heartbeat, saved from reloading everything from scratch, which was my way out last time. Witstech A81E Froyo 2.2
*renamed the /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf to /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.bak
Good eye there mate!!!!

It just recreates the file when your phone gets rebooted. My Thunderbolt is having the EXACT same issue. Ive tried renaming this and deleting as well and still no luck. Im now kicking over any rocks that I can find to get my wifi working.
I have exactly the same problem.
With Root Explorer deleted the file 'wpa_supplicant.conf' but no changes.
WiFi starts up and closes down again with the famous line: "unable to scan for networks"
anyone?

I had the same problem. I installed the software from the sony erikcon website to my computer, and then followed the process for updating the phone software. That did not work, since I had the latest software already. So then, I tried to REPAIR my phone software, and after that was done, my phone was functional again, and the wifi works without any problems.
Requirements:
* A PC connected to the Internet (preferably broadband)
* USB phone-to-PC connection. Please see the accessories compatibility list for your phone.
1. Run the software on the computer after it is installed.
2. Follow the procedure for UPDATE or REPAIR (if you already have the latest version).

Hi guys, question, I can't get wifi tether to work on my netbook.
It's there anything special I have to do to the netbook in order for it to allow the connection because it says connected but the internet doesn't work, thanks in advance.
From the Subject Line, I though your were trying to tether your WIFE.... sadly, that is not something possible in most cases.
i had this problem, it was because i swapped out sd cards and didnt have the bin file on the new sd card..just Delete and reinstall the program, and a newly generated bin file will be placed on the card..should work!
Go to Menu -> Show Log. If you don't see something similar to
Loading bcm4329.ko module (fw_bcm4329.bin from /sdcard/android.tether)...

I've already tried posting this in the official thread in the WP7 General board but I'm certain it's already been lost in the commotion. So here's the deal:
1) I initially downloaded the PBK file and couldn't run it due to having Adobe Software installed.
2) I managed to discover that rasphone.exe is the program that's supposed to run PBK files and made it the default program for it.
3) When I run the PBK file it tells me the "phonebook is empty."
This means I can't just go in and select the hungarian VPN and go. Would someone be so kind as to go into the properties for the network, and copy down all settings? I would truly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
I'm in the same situation...
try right clicking the file and use open remote access or whatever the name is...that fixed it for me
Ahaha, you can manually set up a new vpn using ttu.2.usaip.eu as the server, and the update seems to be working

adhoc connectivity worked on galaxy s2
this trick found from another thread
you need a rooted phone & root explorer
1. Unzip the file attached here (wpa_supplicant.zip) and send wpa_supplicant to your phone.
2. Using Root Explorer go to the folder were you save it (wpa_supplicant) and copy the file.
3. Using Root Explorer, enter the /system folder and press the Mount W/R button (upper right corner)
4. Now go to /system/bin and backup your current wpa_supplicant, and paste the new one.
5. Set permissions to wpa_supplicant like attached picture, then go back to /system and press Mount R/O (upper right corner, so you leave everything exactly like it was) and reboot. Done. Enjoy AD-HOC!
Thanks for the patch, but before you get banned by some moderator, please remove your first attachment. It's a paid app/ WAREZ.
Root Explorer is paid. Don't post it.
Tested & working on sgs 2! Thx man!
I can see the ah hoc network established from my laptop now.. but when I try to connect, it stays in a state "Obtaining IP address" .. so cannot access internet anyway .. Is there any workaround? Thanks.
Thanks dude
excellent, previously i was using connectify to connect my phone to Laptop but the signal strength was so poor and also after few mins it is used to go down. Now got rid of the problem using this file.
Thanks again

gs2 is able to find adhoc network but cannot obtain an IP.
very much thanks if you can find a solution...

Thanks a lot
it worked for me.
I replaced this file. This step is important:change the WPA to WEP encryption mode on PC. AD-hoc is ok using my SII I9100 mobile.Pls to try it. tks.
still not for me despite the wep ad-hoc network created from the mac.

i have a tablet running android 2.3.3 rooted with superoneclick...i follow the instractions to copy paste the wpa_supplicant using root explorer.but when i open my wifi shows false and my table restarts.what i do wrong...i am lucky that i made copy of the original file
I´m actually able to see network but not to connect to it, any advise??
I take it this is not ICS / CM9 compatible ??
Galaxy S II
CF rooted stock 2.3.6
Working in free and WEP modes.
But there were problems with WinXP configuration.
(In wifi network first have myself to connect to created adhoc network, only then phone sees adhoc network)
Galaxy Note's WIFI VERY unstable after replacing wpa_suppliant.
I wanted to connect my galaxy note to my iPad's Mywi for wifi (ad hoc) connection.
Thus i did the following steps:
- root galaxy note using zergrush
- downloaded xda's replacement wpa_suppliant
- downloaded root explorer
- uploaded the replacement wpa_suppliant file to the phone and replaced the original one at /systems/bin
After this, my phone was able to connect to iPad's Mywi, BUT connection is VERY unstable and gets disconnected every 5-10mins. Also it takes really long to get it connected back, like about 10-15mins for it to try to get connected.
I've tried re-doing the WHOLE of the steps above, INCLUDING re-rooting my phone, but to no avail. My Wifi function was working perfectly fine prior to this.
Can some kind souls out there please advice me if I've done anything wrong in my steps? Or if there's any way to solve this (WITHOUT re-doing it back to the original)? thanks!
Hi! Recently I bought the Galaxy W equipped with GB 2.3.6 and yesterday I installed the latest january's firmware upgrade.
Did anybody try to install the modified wpa_supplicant into that device?
Thank you!
Antonio
Set permissions to wpa_supplicant like attached picture? Which permissions? Can you upload that pic again or just tell us what to mark, owner group others? read write execute? And from special permissions: Set UID, Set GID, Sticky?
By default at my stock wpa_supplicant permissions are set and marked like: Owner=mark at read, write and execute, Group=mark at read and execute,
Others=mark at read and execute. None of special permissions are marked.
Should it be the same for new copied wpa_supplicant or?
Thanks in advance...
Just one little question here. I hope someone takes time to answer it. I have been around reading about adhoc this and adhoc that. But what I wanna know if these methodes that enable adhoc functionality, allow 2 mobile devices to get connected to each other. I mean like between 2 SGSII not between a PC and a SGSII?
Like making one of the SGSIIs the center and the other client (or infrastructure or whatever it's called)?? Is this possible with all these adhoc enablers?
Can't turn Wi Fi on after using the file from OP.

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.

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

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 =)

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

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

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/

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..
