Simply turn the phone on. Most settings with install automatically.
Read the wiki pages and hopefully these will guide you further
You will need to sync your phone to your pc using activesync and your usb cable which comes with the phone.
Most applications/software will come in either .exe or.cab format. All .exe files are installed from youir pc while phone is sync'd. Just follow the on screen instructions once you open the file.
.cab files are installed directly from your phone. Once your phone is sync'd to your computer via usb cable transfer .cab file to your phone using file explorer then open file on your phone using phone file explorer
Hope this helps

i dont know why u r saying that.... but let me tell u first, my tattoo is rooted & i installed 5faif's 1.5 cooked ROM & its running fine here....
does this rooting solves wifi connection problem which was there before ???
i also have one question for you, now tattoo is rooted, can i transfer files & receive files through bluetooth ???? if yes which is the best software to do so ???

Bluetooth OBEX
Bluetooth OBEX probably doesn't work on 1.6 as there are dependencies issue.

i put thise 2 files into /system/etc/wifi/
overwrite the 2 others

What did you exactly do?
In tiwlan.ini did you change 0 to 1 for WiFiAdhoc?
In wpa_supplicant.conf you wrote
Code:
network={
ssid="Adhoc"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=NONE
mode=1
}
Is it enough?

How to configure HTC and PC to use Adhoc wireless connection
Hi to everybody,
i'm trying to use the two files Marsdroid uploaded on the forum, i was able to upload them on the system/etc/wifi folder in my HTC Tattoo, but i can't anyway configure the Adhoc connection between PC and HTC.
Do i have to manually set up an open SSID named Adhoc with no security, both on the HTC and on the Windows XP PC?
Are there some configuration to be made to configure correctly the ad hoc connection? IP address etc...?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Andrea

[Guide] Reverse Tether (wifi method)(download anything) (Windows and Ubuntu users)

This guide teaches you to reverse tether your Android phone via WiFi. That is, it allows you to use your Ethernet connection of PC on your Android phone. It is useful for those who do not have WiFi routers and data connection. So if you have unlimited data plan for your computer, why not share the connection with your phone?
I am not the developer of the files supplied
Requirements:-
1.Rooted Phone
2.Wifi enabled Laptop or PC
3.Root explorer or any other application which gives system access
4.File in the attachement
Procedure :-
Phone:
Download Wpa_supplicant.zip and extract "wpa_supplicant" from it, save it on your SD card.
Open Root Explorer, and grant it superuser access when asked for.
Navigate to system -> bin and long press on wpa_supplicant; Select copy, and paste the file into any folder on your SD card.
Now navigate to the file you downloaded, copy it in same way, and paste it back to system -> bin. Note, you might need to mount the system as R/W instead of R/O by pressing a button on the top just before pasting the file.
Reboot.
▬▬Ubuntu (Must work for other Linux Distros too)▬▬:
Open Network Connections
Goto Wireless tab, select add, and set the following:
SSID:
Mode: Ad hoc
Leave other things unchanged, and go to Ipv4 settings tab
Set method to Shared to other computers
Go to Wireless security tab and set Security to WEP 40/128 bit key and set key to a numeric password (or hexadecimal one).
Check the connect automatically box on top of the tabs and press Save.
Your Android phone must now detect this network, and you can establish the connection by using your security key.
▬▬Windows XP, Vista, 7▬▬
Download and Install Connectify from www . connectify.me/download-lite/
Start Connectify Hotspot by giving a name and password to your hotspot and selecting the Ethernet connection to share. Make sure the security type is WEP or Open.
Disable your firewall (Simply adding it to exceptions doesn't work for AVG at least)
Now your phone should be able to see the hotspot and establish the connection using the password set.
Known Issues :
1.Random disconnections (Very less frequency)
2.Disconnections due to screen lock / sleep on laptop
3.For me Security mode does not works
HIT THANKS IF IT WORKED
ENJOY

@avilove4u
This is not a free solution , you need a wifi Pc (90 % of computers at work don't have wifi) and is too complicate for users.
Use my method : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1371345
It's a "One click free solution using USB cable" (no need to install other paids tools)
Not yet perfect, but still under development (I am the developper)
"This is a crap , as u cannot do much !"
Please stay on your thread next time before posting such kind of message on my thread.
No need to press "Thanks".

Ha ha lol !
Ur method has certain limitations :banghead:

Now adays every laptop and PC are wifi enabled !

I heard that connectify doesn't require root phone and we don't need that wpa_suplicant.

You heard correct (in most cases). If your device already supports ad-hoc network connections, then all you'd need to do is set up the hotspot with Connectify (or Virtual Router) and connect to it. Otherwise, this method's for you.

But some armv6 devices need that
Without wpa ad-hoc network wil nt be shown in our device

VERY GOOD AND USEFULL GUIDE!!
I've successfully shared the LAN's network of my notebook (DELL) with my android tablet (Mediacom 852i with OMA ROM JB 4.1.1)
Thank you very much for sharing your information.

I'm pretty sure you're completely wrong. You're whole post sounds like it comes from a jealous, whiny little girl. And until you can back up this statement, I'm going to assume you are either a liar or an idiot.

Useful app especially for area with bad reception and no wifi.

This is sooo useful...thank you.
I think my wifi router had broken a couple of hours ago. But now I can use ad-hoc connection from my PC.
I use Huawei Ideos S7 to connect to my windows XP sp3 wifi.

Suddenly it has become impossible for me to transfer files from pc to mobile via bluetooth. It gives pairing msg on mobile and then msg for matching codes at pc. When i click yes, device is configured but files are not transferred. However, i can send files from phone to pc via bluetooth
Untill yesterday, i was able to share files between pc and android via shareit. But today i can't..neither receive nor send.
I am on wiko rainbow v13 on 4gig version of canvas a120.
Please give a solution early.

yes, i know its slow but that doesn't mean it should not work. And i can't send files through "Shareit" app as i mentiones. It is also supposed to creates a hotspot to transfer files. But i could not connect my pc to device via hotspot. My device is never identified. And thanks for reply..hope there is some solution.
