[DEV] USB 3g for a500 wifi only

3g kernel module found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058713
ok i got 3g to work but small problem... internet works in console and in browser... any other app doesnt see the internet... I'm a linux kind of guy so maybe I'm missing something on the android part...
How to:
Code:
disable ZERO_CD on the 3g modem
put the modules from my other post in the root of /sdcard
put chat,ppp-start.sh,ppp-stop.sh in /system/xbin and give them execution permissions
go into /etc/ppp and make a directory "peers"
put 3g in the peers dir you just created
in console type:
su <enter>
ppp-start.sh <enter>
and done you should see the ppp0 interface
[B]PS: ttyUSB2 may need to be modified in 3g file depending on your modem...[/B]

added the archive i forgot to add sorry

Nice work
Glad to have a skilled developer here

Hi all, sorry for the noob question but how can I find out what 'ttyUSB2' should be changed to for my USB modem? I've got a Sierra Wireless USB 308 3G modem.
Cheers,
Julian

Cheers,
That's what I thought it was but for some reason i was getting an error. I must've mistyped as it worked first time today doh!!
Brilliant fix incidentally my Iconia is now 3G when needed!

found some a nice ril script in /system/etc/init.goldfish.sh but little scared without recovery don't wanna mess it up...

Does this require Root?
This seems like a function that could require root, also does this work with any carriers or just certain carriers.
Amazing idea and cannot wait to see how it plays out. It would be really cool if eventually an app was made for this, unlocking this feature. Good job.

its limited to what the option driver can use(https://github.com/Tiamat-AOSP/Xoom....36-honeycomb-mr1/drivers/usb/serial/option.c) check first couple of lines you will find there devices with device id that works with this driver and also limited to modems with usb-serial interface, carriers dont play any role in this... only modems...

If I'm reading this, the USB 3G dongles will work in the Acer Iconia? Not being extremely tech savvy, I'm not sure if once you're rooted you can install these drivers and use it, or if it's still in development by the XDA Gods.
Could you clarify if this is working?
Thanks

only half working if you read the first post you can see only browser and console has internet access...

[GUIDE] Enable ad-hoc tethering on your Transformer (needs root!)

Update: If you are using the official firmware 8.6.5.9 (and obviously above) or any custom ROM based on it, you don't have to do anythink described here, because ad-hoc works natively. Thankfully ASUS fixed Googles unintelligible inability to enable connection to ad-hoc networks.
This renders this thread pretty much obsolete, but I won't delete it, just in case anyone doesn't want to or cannot update his device for whatever reason
Hi!
As there are only [Q]uestion threads about ad-hoc tethering by now, I thought I'd write a little guide how to enable it on our Transformer.
edit: If you are using Prime v1.5 (and above I guess), you don't have to do this. Roach2010 already included the modified wpa_supplicant, so you can already use ad-hoc tethering.
All credits and many thanks go to szym for the edited wpa_supplicant that makes ad-hoc possible for us!
!!! Always make a nandroid backup via recovery first! You can then reflash your backup if something fails !!!
I. Via root explorer (obviously requires root access):
If you bought root explorer from the market, you should be able to easily copy and replace the file.
1.) Go to /system/bin and copy the file „wpa_supplicant“ to your sd card as a backup.
2.) Then copy the „wpa_supplicant“ from the attached zip file and paste it into /system/bin.
3.) Long press the file and set permissions to rwxr-xr-x, like this:
User: read, write, execute
Group: read, execute
Others: read, execute
4.) Reboot
Finally tried it myself and works fine
II. Alternative method via adb (requires root access):
This is a forwarded guide from the Xoom section. I tried it myself and it works like a charm. You can find it here.
All credits for the following guide go to kelvie !
1.) Your Transformer has to be rooted! (you'll find a guide how to root here)
2.) Make a backup of your system/bin/wpa_supplicant first!
3.) Unpack the attached wpa_supplicant_xoom_wifi_adhoc.zip file to your adb folder. (if you don't know how to use adb, google for one of the many guides, or look below for another option via root explorer )
4.) push the file to system/bin/wpa_supplicant:
Code:
adb remount
adb push system/bin/wpa_supplicant /system/bin/wpa_supplicant
5.) Because zipfiles don't store permission, you have to make it executable as well:
Code:
adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/wpa_supplicant
6.) You also have to change the permissions on /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf for some reason:
Code:
adb shell chown system.wifi /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
7.) reboot
Again, many thanks to kelvie for the guide!
III. Easiest method (requires ClockWorkMod recovery and root):
1.)Download the attached CWM_adhoc_wpa_supplicant_TF101.zip to your sd-card. Make sure to copy it to /Removable/MicroSD, because /mnt/sdcard cannot be accessed from CWM
2.) Boot into CWM recovery.
3.) Hit "install zip from sdcard" --> "choose zip from sdcard", select the zip and confirm.
4.) Reboot
Done. You should now be able to tether your ad-hoc connection
This method doesn't seem to work because I missed an option and don't know right now how to fix it. So if somebody knows how to do this via edify script, please help me out:
Code:
chown system.wifi /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
Use one of the methods above in the meantime, they works flawless.

Q&A
Q: Which app should I use for tethering on my phone? Do I need root access for tethering apps?
A: If your phone doesn't support native tethering, just search the Android Market for 'Wifi tether'. There are a lot of apps for that . I tested Barnacle Wifi Tether on my Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 with 2.3.4 MIUI ROM, which worked fine, but I guess all/most tether apps should work fine now. And yes, unless you have native tethering, your phone has to be rooted.
Q: Barnacle gives me the following error on the phone: "DHCP could not bind to DHCP port, address already in use", and my TF is stuck at "obtaining IP Address from barnacle". What should I do?
A: rpavich has found a solution for that. Thanks rpavich!
rpavich said:
1. Change SSID to whatever you want
2. Change Channel to 6
3. Custom Wifi Ad-hoc to none
4. Skip wpa_supplicant checked
5. Restart your phone (just to make sure...)

No need to wait, you could just try it. If you back up your original wpa_supplicant first, you can always undo your changes. I also added an easier way via root explorer that should be easier.

i just tried it, it connected to barnacle wifi but i couldnt get the internet to work. ill try again tomorrow, it may be my phone.

Did your phone show the barnacle symbol in the notification bar and tell you that a device is connected?
Sent from my rooted X10i using awesome custom roms

I've done this last week and noticed when stopping my hotspot on the phone the connection on the transformer shows it is still connected. So you have to manual disconnect if you want to reconnect again for later use. This is on my Nokia N8 Phone using JoikuSpot.

I tried to do this via the root explorer and it said "you cannot paste here because the file system is read only"

On the top of your system directory in root explorer is a button, that says r/w. Push it and you'll get read/write mode.

Yes, the barnacle symbol was in the notification bar and my TF appeared on the 'client' tab, also the TF said that it was connected to barnacle wifi.
I'm going to try again now
EDIT: Worked perfectly this morning, thanks!
I did it via root explorer FYI

This seems like a rather minor change to wpa_suppliant.conf; any clue if google will fix this in honeycomb? Not sure I understand why it isn't enabled by default...

Ok...trouble getting this to work.
1.) On my Xperia X10; message in Barnacle:
"DHCP could not bind to DHCP port, address already in use"
2.) On my TF: it's stuck at "obtaining IP Address from barnacle"

Ok....found the solution (on another XDA forum section)
I did the following and connected just fine!
1. Change SSID to whatever you want
2. Change Channel to 6
3. Custom Wifi Ad-hoc to none
4. Skip wpa_supplicant checked
5. Restart your phone (just to make sure...)

I don't have a clue either why this isn't enabled by default, but I think they'll add this in the 3.1 update. But it's just a suggestion, didn't read anything about it though.

I used this method from my rooted OG Droid and the Xoom and it worked perfectly. I have to wait for my son in law to root my TF to try it out. Would I only need to root the TF for this to work?

At the moment you need to root both your TF and your phone. But if you use Clockworkmod, you probably don't need a rooted TF, because I'm preparing an update.zip to flash via CWM
Your phone has definitely to be rooted, ecxept it supports wifi tethering from stock.
edit: darn, amend scripting is no longer supported in Honeycomb. Anyone knows how to change the zip for edify scripting?
edit2: ok, probably got it solved. we'll see...

Ok, I added a zip file for easy install through ClockWorkMod to the OP. It installed fine on my TF101 and tethering works, but please backup your wpa_supplicant before installing this and report any errors. I didn't work with edify scripts before
I also restructured the guide itself, from easiest to most complicate method
Cheers

Would this mod work with an old TP2 windows mobile phone? Will the TF then be able to use it's wifi signal?
Also, if the TF is rooted, will we be able to accept the 3.1 HC update?

[SCRIPT] Change Hostname v6 08/07/2012

This will also be the last update to this script for the foreseeable future. Someone else is more than welcome to take what is here and run with it though.
08-07-2012 fixed a few typos and problems with quotes.
01-29-2012 added some variables to check for the existence of things and get correct paths.
01-06-2012 fixed hostname path.
01-02-2012 Updated to truly work on all devices.
Check it out and let me know what you think.
Big thanks to cdesai for pointing out a nice little enhancement.
This is version 5 of this script.
This script is designed to change the hostname of your device so that you can access it through your network by name instead of android_0123456789ABCEDF.
Your device will also be able to be seen at your router by the new name as well.
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
#change devName to whatever you want.
devName="changeMe"
#random variables
devHostPath=$(which hostname)
devGetPath=$(which getprop)
devSetPath=$(which setprop)
if [ "$($devGetPath net.hostname)" = "$devName" ]
then
echo "Device hostname does not need to be changed."
else
echo "Device hostname is being changed to $devName."
$devHostPath $devName
$devSetPath net.hostname $devName
if [ "$($devGetPath net.hostname)" != "$devName" ]
then
echo "Device hostname has not been changed."
else
echo "Device hostname has been successfully changed."
fi
fi
Download Hostname.sh
Download Hostname.sh to your device.
Use a text editor to change the "changeMe" in the script to whatever you want. [Keep the quotes]
Use Script Manager to run the script.
The script output will tell you if the command has completed successfully.
Once it has been run your device will be named whatever you change the "changeMe" to.
*Additionally, this script should be able to be run on any device without issues but I have only tested this on Galaxy Nexus AOKP and Droid Bionic Eclipse v3.0.
**Standard disclaimer, I am in no way responsible for ANYTHING that happens to your phone that you have done.

Can anyone confirm this worked for them? Doesn't seem to be working for me.

What's the output when you run it?
And when you run it a second time?
You can check at your router as well by logging into it and checking the DHCP leases.
Oh, I figured this was assumed, but you have to have root and run it as root.

Yet another idea, you can specify the host name while executing the script as an argument (quick changes )
You can use read devname and if it's empty you can get model no. From build.prop

I left it static so that it can be run at boot and will always have the same name. The model could work but it is more for changing the name to something you want rather than being dictated what it will be.
Oh and depending on your model you could have a space or other special in it.

LG Revolution
On LG Revolution running GingerVolt 1.3, I had to change /bin/hostname to /system/xbin/hostname.
The script can be modified to determine the location of hostname command , rather than hardcoding the path.

I am working on a V5 of this which should be released within the next 2 weeks that should address almost all issues. It works as is on some devices but not all.
I have also found from my testing that setting the hostname is inconsequential and will only appear when you run the hostname command.

Thanks! This is the path on the Galaxy Nexus (ICS 4.02) and i was able to get it to update successfully.
However, if this does not update the host name that is sent to my wireless router, the point of the exercise is moot to me. But at least I learned a little bit more about my phone!

This has been posted elsewhere, but to set the name set for the Wifi DHCP request:
Code:
echo yourphonehostname > /proc/sys/kernel/hostname
Obviously, this needs root. You can stick that in a new or existing script in /etc/init.d.
No need to reboot the phone for this to take effect. Stop and start wifi to get the phone to request a new DHCP lease. Note that if your phone was already connected to a router, then the new name might not show up immediately. You'll need drop the previous name from the router dhcp client table by either waiting for the lease to expire, rebooting the router or expiring the lease manually (e.g., in Tomato Admin GUI, click on the remaining lease time under lease column in the Status -> Device List page.)

Adhoc Wifi problem

any pointers from the experienced users appreciated.
my a500 can not see my ad hoc wifi connection from my Android phone, i know it is working as both my ipad and the laptop (which i am connected to send this ) can see and use the phone as the data connection.
I know this has worked fine with other rom's that i have used in the past (again can not remember which rom this one is). but the a500 can not even see it. is there a setting somewhere that i need to enable to allow the acer to use the connection ?
thanks all

By default stock ROM doesn't allow for Ad-Hoc connections, and as you say you don't remember what ROM you're using it might be based on stock ROM. In such case you must replace /system/bin/wpa_supplicant with a version that does allow Ad-Hoc.

Thanks for the quick reply, that is a little bit of a problem then as i wrote in another post this moring i can not get the a500 to recognsie the SD card to flash a new rom -

I do not know what is the problem with your SD-card, but enabling Ad-Hoc isn't hard. Just follow the instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033314
Atleast you can then use the tablet while waiting for help with the SD-card issue.
---------- Post added at 11:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:41 AM ----------
^ In relation to the above, when I did this is I didn't bother using adb. I just used Better Terminal Emulator Pro as root and did the following:
Turn on flight mode.
Start BTEP as root.
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /system
cp /mnt/external_sd/wpa_supplicant /system/bin/wpa_supplicant
chmod 755 /system/bin/wpa_supplicant
Exit BTEP.
Turn flight mode off.

thanks WereCatf,
while i get the courage up to mess with the emulator, can you point at any ROM that might not be stock so i can try the theory ?
thanks again

I haven't tried too many different ROMs myself, but I know atleast HoneyVillain did work with AdHoc WIFI. But HoneyVillain was rather buggy otherwise, apps kept crashing on me randomly, and then suddenly SuperUser stopped working at all one day -> back to stock.

worth a shout - thanks WereCatf, I guess I will just have to bite the *** and go forvthevemulator route.

[Q] Nexus 4 LEAP Wifi issue?

Hi,
My Nexus 4 failed to connect to my office wifi (LEAP network). The was due to a known issue on Android v4.2 (code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=40023)
And the workaround is using a working wpa_supplicant from v4.1.2 to replace the current one on v4.2.
However Nexus 4 doesn't have v4.1.x ROM , and I tired v4.1.2 wpa_supplicant from Nexus S/7 but it didn't suit my Nexus 4 (I tried factory ROM and CyanolenMod), it cannot even list all available wifi connections with v4.1.2 wpa_supplicant.
So anyone out there able to connect to LEAP Wifi in your Nexus 4 successfully? If so could you pls share your experience?
And any other suggestions will be much appreciated!
Thanks and Regards!

I have the same problem, Nexus 4 with Android 4.2.1 ROM, LEAP WIFI not working. Also tried replacing wpa_supplicant with 4.1.2 version from Nexus 7 ROM, but it's not compatible with Nexus 4. Can someone provide a link to Nexus 4 ROM 4.1.2 version or correct wpa_supplicant file from that ROM please?

Hope v4.2.2 can fix this issue, finger crossed...

Here is my steps:
1) Install leap wifi free apk (com.oneguyinabasement.leapwifi.apk) then set up leap wifi connection FIRST.
2) Download wpa_supplicant.4.1.2 =>

3) Then follow the steps (post #43) =>

Let me know if it helps.

I have a problem with my university wifi network.
I can connect but the connection isn't right. My speed is slow and spotty.
Anyone else?

Bump

I am having issues with LEAP. I tried the file from #53
3. Install the 4.1 version of wpa_supplicant
(commands assume the new version is in the Download directory - modify as needed)
On your device, open a terminal session, become root
Make the /system directory writeable:
mount -o rw,remount /system
Copy your new file there:
cp -p /sdcard/Download/wpa_supplicant-4.1.2 /system/bin
Make it executable:
chmod 775 /system/bin/wpa_supplicant-4.1.2
Rename the old version:
mv /system/bin/wpa_supplicant /system/bin/wpa_supplicant-4.2
Create a link to the new version (makes it clear which version you're running):
ln -s /system/bin/wpa_supplicant-4.1.2 /system/bin/wpa_supplicant
Verify this all worked:
/system/bin/wpa_supplicant -v
- should return version 4.1.2
Restart your system and LEAP should work as in 4.1.x.
I could not able connect to any network after that but I didnt know that i have to use a app (like LEAP wifi free) prior.I could not even serach for wifi networks. I have reverted what I did now i can able to wifi except LEAP. I am on Motley Kernel and PA ROM.
Now it seems the issue fixed and pushed to AOSP.

Cru,
Can you able to connect to other network after doing the work-round mentioned. Could you pls try connecting to a new network (not LEAP) and let know.

Frank, you are right. It lost the ability to find new network connections after doing this work-around. We have to restore to new wpa supplicant file to fine/create the connections then change back to old wpa file to actually get it work. That's the reason I said we need setup leap wifi connection first

Also worked for me, thanks a bunch to all.
I had this issue on my nexus 7 and was solved relatively easy by using an older version of the wpa_supplicant file for the nexus 7 but for the nexus 4 i guess there isn't a version that works...
Anyway the patched one the guy posted in post 104 works for me, the only difference I had to make was the auth_alg, mine was originally set to "LEAP" where as in his example he set it to OPEN SHARED LEAP, which I also needed to do in order to get it to work
