Cannot find solution to connect to hidden 802.1x network :(

Hi!
I Cannot find solution to connect to company's hidden Wifi 802.1x network
I tried almost anything to make it work .... but without success
I have had various wpa_supplicant bin files.
I have edited 100x wpa_supplicant.conf file.
I was reading forums with "SOLVED" solutions ... for other phones ... but cannot find solution to work on Huawei IDEOS X5 U8800.
I also have tried it with various ROMs: MIUI 1.8.x and 1.9.x, VOID, B135, B136,B160, cm7-100911, Oxygen ...
But every time with no success ...
Hints:
a) All other colleagues connect without problem (they have HTCs, Samsung Galaxy S I,II, iPhones 3,4 ...) while my friend and i cannot connect
b) I connect to my home Wifi (WPA/PSK) without a problem!
Anyone have similar problem?
BTW: MY wpa_supplicant.conf file looks like:
ctrl_interface=wlan0
update_config=1
network={
ssid="mySSID"
scan_ssid=1
key_mgmt=IEEE8021X
group=WEP104 WEP40
auth_alg=OPEN SHARED
eap=PEAP
identity="[email protected]"
password="zzzzzz"
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
}
Brgds,

HELPPPPP

Have had sporadic issues myself, and found that setting ap_scan=2 in /system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf was helpful but not flawless. I reverted back to a CWM of MIUI 1.8.19 which I recalled seemed to connect without issues. On reviewing the wpa_supplicant.conf files in system and data, I noticed that the ctrl_interface was different.
ctrl_interface=DIR=/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant GROUP=system
rather than ctrl_interface=wlan0
I haven't yet tried moving back to the latest version of MIUI to test these changes, but will do so when I get the time.
Modify below files and ensure permissions dont change
Both /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
and /system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
also create a new folder wpa_supplicant in /data/misc/wifi/
mkdir /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant -m 750

The control interface is changed so that it works with other versions of wpa_supplicant. If you change it to the way it was in the older Miui then wifi won't work at all.
If it never worked (even on stock) then the issue probably isn't with wpa supplicant, and could be a problem with the wifi driver, or the hardware itself. This really needs someone who knows what they're doing and access to a hidden 802.1x network to look into it.

Was there a driver change between 1.8.19 and later MIUI versions? The supplicant seems like the same version (v 0.6.10)?
On returning to 1.8.19 have had 3 days without issues. When on 1.9.30 the change to ap_scan=2 definitely improved and seemed to make a connection on reboot flawless, but reconnection from sleep was sporadic (probably <30%). Watching wpa_cli output when waking phone from screen off on 1.9.30 showed a failed connection attempt, and then a series of timed scans (CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS) - these continued after CTRL-EVENT-CONNECTED (something that didn't occur after toggling wifi on/off/on and connecting).

Thanks for you feedback, that really helps. Even though the version number is the same they aren't the same file.
I'll get in contact with you via pm to try and sort this out.

Thanks guys for trying!
So there is no solution yet?

Any news ?
Thanks!

I have same problem with that.

I also have the same problem, and looking for a solution. I am using Redmi 4a MIUI 8.2.6.0

Galaxy Note Wifi 5GHz Issue fix for Hong Kong

If you have recently upgraded to ICS and cannot connect or see your router's 5GHz SSID, it is because Sammsung used Taiwan legal channels for HK as well, You should set your router's 5GHz channle to 56, you will then see and be able to connect to your router's 5GHz channel.
Reference here: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ ... _chp.html#wp1272047

My route only has channels 36, 40, 44 and 48
Is there any way of changing /extending the number of channels on ICS?

First check whether toucan change the country setting of your router.
I am sure changing some files at the system/etc/wifi will get that fixed as well. However I haven't gone into it. Hopefully some coders could come up with an app to change that .

In the event your router cannot be changed to to other channels, you can do the following if your device is rooted:
1. install root explorer or anything similar
2. navigate to root then etc/wifi/
3. open the following files with a text editor ( if you are using root explorer long press the file name will pop up a menu, then choose text editor:
Files to be modified: nvram_net.txt_murate and nvram-net.txt_semcove ( back up these two file first)
4. change ccode of the two files from TW to ALL , save and exit
5. restart your wifi then you will see your 5GHz SSID at whatever channle
6. connect to that SSID as usual

Thank you very much. I follow the root method and it works like a charm. 5GHz connected at channel 36.
It's a pitty that sammy launch such update with a silly mistake like this. Non root user may not be able to use their 5GHz though .

Yes, I think it should be: Channel11 (2462 MHz)

That is a different problem, forget your router and add them back, make sure you enter the password right

The password is OK. I think there maybe some issue with the Franco r-3 kernel!
Thanks for your help

working fine on 3 routers, 2 are broadcomm based chipsets, using wpa-tkip and one is atheros based chipset using wpa2-aes. no problems getting IPs, connecting and reconnecting, or anything weird like that.
i only switched ROMs last night, but so far so good.
I'm using Franco r3 as well.

Thanks, this worked like a charm running LPY -
Also, for those following these instructions a few minor correction, at least for me;
the correct files are nvram_net.txt_murata and nvram_net.txt_semcove
I'm sure these were typos on the posters part, but nonetheless for those that like to be certain they are modifying the correct files.
Also, my stock LPY did not list "TW" in the ccode field, instead it said GB but I'm assuming this is dependent on the region code for the rom you are using - just change to ALL like it states

Interesting enough, I followed these steps to have a look at the 2 files (nvram_net.txt_semcove & nvram_net.txt_murata) and the ccode is already set to ALL but I still can't see the lower 36, 40, 44 & 48 channels.
I ended up having to change the firmware on my router, so it could run the higher channels for it to work.

i haven't tested this on 5ghz myself yet either. There was a modified text file from the I777 iirc that someone posted in the development section that changed it specifically to US 5ghz bands. IIRC this was for gingerbread, but it might be identical or easily modifiable for ICS.
Maybe even though ALL is set at ccode, it still limits the ccodes in some way.
Here is the thread I'm mentioning, I will have to delve into this myself later on...

No for me too. But reflash speedmod K3-3 and the WIFI is back to normal.
I don't want to reflash the whole rom with Franco just to make WIFI work.

I believe I have a different problem than the one stated here, but I would appreciate any help I can get. As a little bit of history, I did experience the same problem I am experiencing now when I flashed LPF.
I flashed LQ2 over my rooted stock GB, which flashed the new modem "LPT." Previously, I had LA4 modem on my GB ROM, which worked fine and rendered a speed range of 9-10 MBps over wi-fi. After flashing LQ2 ROM and LPT modem, my wi-fi speeds have gone down to 200-300 KBps, which is quite low for a wi-fi connection.
I have a 2.4 GHz router, so my issue is not 2 vs 5 GHz, but the issue I am facing is the really slow speed of wi-fi on the new ROM. When I had the same wi-fi issue after flashing LPF, I had tried flashing a different and LA4 modem, but the speed did not improve.
I am in the US and my Note is originally from the UK.
As I said, any help with this issue is appreciated, as I feel crippled with such low wi-fi speed, and would be great to revert back to the high speeds. Thanks.

[Q] S4 i9505 CM10.1 - wifi won't turn on, has no MAC

Hello,
To start off, I have a USCellular S4 w/ CM10.1, currently the 7/9 nightly. I am running baseband version R970VXUAMDL and have not modified the kernel.
I am unable to enable WiFi at all on CM10.1 and haven't been able to since initially flashing CM10.1.
Under the Settings menu, I am unable to enable WiFi - it's greyed out.
Under the WiFi menu, I can enable the toggle but it does nothing.
Under the Advanced menu, MAC address shows 'unavailable' and the Wi-Fi region code is set to 'Europe' and will not remember changes.

Have you tried removing the .cid.info file ?
Using a terminal app type the following:
Code:
su
rm /data/.cid.info
On some ROM's have have to do this after every time I have rebooted the phone, not quite sure why but it works for me.

Hello,
Thanks for the suggestion. I fired up Terminal Emulator, su'd, and it doesn't look like there is a .cid.info in /data/. There is a .psm.info, though, and .npswifi_stream - I don't know if they're related at all.

I dunno about EFS, but I know the IMEI is already correct - *#06* is showing the same IMEI as the label on the back of my phone.

My phone is work well after flashing CM, but no WIFI.
No /data/.cid.info file!
*#06# - show IMEI.

Did we ever get to the bottom of this?

Im having exactly the same problem, so bump. Its been like that for 6 months, my workaround so far was getting a bigger data subscribtion since 4g is working fine

Hi sylvis,
I realize that this is an old post. However. perhaps this thread will help someone else:
I flashed a Samsung Galaxy S4 (T-mobile SGH-M919) to CyanogenMod (CM11) this weekend. It worked ok for a couple days. The owner then said that they can't get any WI-FI. I found your post here and read with optimism that I might be able to fix this problem. Our problem was exactly "word for word" the same problem as you described in your original post. (Well almost exactly; we couldn't get "USA" to stick as the region code)
Before flashing the phone, I did install Philz ClockworkMod and did do a backup of the OEM ROM before flashing to CM11. That said, I found that I did not have to go down the road of restoring a missing IMEI file (as other threaders here describe). Here's what worked for me:
I dialed *#06# on the phone to see if there was an IMEI number present, and there was. I wrote down that number. So I decide to see if that number matched the printed number on the phone, that we can find under the battery.
Before I do a power off of the phone, I recall that I had turned OFF both Bluetooth and Mobile Networks. WI-FI was still turned ON, but in it's non-functional "greyed out" state like you and I both experienced.
Now I power off the phone, take off the back cover, and take out the battery to have a look at the printed IMEI number. Yes, it does march the number that I saw via *#06#.
I had to get up to do something, then returned a couple minutes later. I popped in the battery and restarted the phone. To my utter surprise, WI-FI was back up! In "Advanced" I now see the MAC address and the region is locked on USA
I turn on Mobile Networks, and WI-FI's still working. Being the fool that I am, I have to test this further. So I power off the phone again and just let it sit there for a couple minutes. I power back on and there is still JOY. Problem resolved and happy customer.
In closing: I don't think that the removal and reinsertion of the battery was the total solution, because the owner had already tried that. However, the owner did not let the phone sit with the battery removed for very long. They just popped it out, waited a couple seconds, then popped it back in. I think the total solution was having WI-FI enabled, Bluetooth and Mobile disabled, then doing a power off, with an extended wait time before reinserting the battery.
Hope that helps.
Regards,
Brcobrem

[Q] G900F HOSTS FILE is normal but couldn't add a Google account

Hi,
Dear All,
Ok, the problem is very famous i.e. i factory reset my device and when powered one like a fresh piece, i cannot add google account on my G900F (can't establish a reliable connection to the server).
i have searched a lot over the internet. Read about the HOSTS files description as well. All i found was the modification of the "etc/hosts" with the clients.google.... following "#" so that 127.0.0.1 localhost is only the operational entity.
My device is un-rooted and just for the confirmation of the above mentioned, i opened the hosts file via HTML Viewer (just readonly) and found that the etc/hosts file on my S5 has 127.0.0.1 localhost only and no any other information, which i think should be available for your device to work normal and google accounts can be added. See attached screenshot.
Need your kind help in resolving my issue please.

Try clearing caches from recovery

Still same issue...

Might be worth factory resetting again
How did you access the HOSTS files without being rooted?

did the factory reset 3 times but nothing, issue stands unresolved.
i opened the HOSTS file through RARLAB. Actually it allows you to view the root folder and all of its contents even if your phone is un-rooted.

Could try removing the device from Google Play
https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2407656?hl=en-GB
Create a new Google account as a test to see if the issue is the phone or the account
If that doesn't help, Id flash a stock ROM through ODIN, this will NOT trip KNOX if you are still 0x0
Are you sure all your data connections are working properly, WiFi/3/4G ?

ok here are some interesting occurrences:
Worth mentioning that i was operating over Wi-Fi.
1) - i flashed a stock Kitkat ANG2 ROM via odin and the problem still persists.
2) - Then i flashed stock Lollipop BOB7 and still the same.
3) - Then i created a new account via the first sign in page on the phone (after flashing the new ROM), and i was able make a new account(through my phone) but still it was unable to login on the phone.
4) - Then i installed a Proxy/VPN betternet and then i was able add an account successfully and also Play store is working fine.
5) - Means there is some issue with my wi-fi adapter routing (may be inside the phone or the carrier) etc.
6) - Then i switched off the wi-fi and enabled LTE (of my SIM card provider) and connected my phone through it, say what! its working fine.
7) - again i tried over the wi-fi and the issue started to happen again
Well, one important thing, i am using wi-fi which is also a LTE carrier (having the google issues) and the second LTE (which worked fine) is by the SIM card operator.
So , is there any problem with my wi-fi (inside the phone) or may be with the operator from which i am getting my services??
its quite confusing at the moment. well i am going to try the whole thing over the Wi-Fi of another operator and will feedback the results.
Mean while any suggestions ??

Reboot the router you are connected to WiFi from?
Doesn't sound like the phones fault, unless you have a proxy enabled in WiFI settings or something, sounds like the issue is with your ISP/Router

[Q] VERY Strange WIFI Issue

OK i seem to have this extremely bizzare wifi issue.
I can connect to wifi access points fine, if i turn off wifi and turn it back on i am unable to auto connect and have to re-enter credentials for it to connect. Before doing so i checked my wifi ap to see if my ap were listed and they were not.
If i re-enter everything is fine but having to do this to wifi ap is annoying. After i have entered and check the wifi ap files i can see the credentials are saved etc.
If i do not re-enter the credentials and restart the phone with wifi enabled it connects to AP fine.
If i leave wifi connected and connect to to wifi aps that require certs its fine also without the need to re-enter creds.
At first i thought maybe i had a corruption in the wifi config files but i dont see any, no duplicate aps at all, no fancy characters i can see.
Does anyone have any thoughts as my wifi config with aps is many years old and has a massive amount of APs listed.
It doesnt matter what ROM i try as soon as i restore all my APs the issues start, is there a way to bulk export, wipe wifi aps and re-import them all again?
Do wifi aps with spaces in or length cause issues with 5.1.1?
