Hi,
I just got my first Android phone. I am running shipped 2.2 ROM from Vodafone Australia. I have connected it to wifi and it shows up as ANDROID_XXXXXXXXXXXX in the connected device list. How do I change that name?
I have changed the bluetooth device name already. Can I not change the wifi name?
TA.
You can't if you're not rooted. BTW B has a feature for this.

Thanks. I am not planinng to root it now as I am still getting used to it. For
me 99% of the stuff I need is already there and I am happy with it.
Now all I need is a decent file manager and a ZIP or RAR application which works on Android. I need to password protect some files so I figure I can use ZIP or RAR file and be done with it but I also want to manage files using file manager.

Custom Rom
Thanks. I am not ready to go custom rom route either.
Is there just a rooted option?
Or can this be changed in qpst?

Well I actually guess now that we have unlocked bootloader, you could keep your stock rom, and unlock the boot loader and then change what you need to...
Previously you needed to root to change stuff. If you go to dev section you can find out how to unlock by reading the unlock thread
sent from my legend using zeubeas cm9 beta2
I have asked this question myself. and found the name CAN be changed settings>wireless& networks>portable Wi-Fi hotspot settings> and select Router Name(SSID)
I was not able to do this while hotspot was active. but i disabled the hotspot and then was able to rename the router (SSID) from the default Wildfire S that it was
I hope this helped.

Dear friends,
I have searched tens of forums and googled requested for a days,
but I didn't have chance that find any answer
And it seems that nobody speak so much about that problem here,
people are in race for newer and newer firmwares,
is it possible that nobody can't find the way to solve that problem and succeed to modify wpa_supplicant to work on new Gingerbread 2.3.4?
I can't belive that I have 500€ phone witout possibility to use ad-hoc WiFi at my home
Download this file - http://www.mediafire.com/?ap3alfyf2asu1ca
Disable the wifi...Copy-paste the file in system/bin using root explorer... reboot the phone...done, your phone running KG1 can connect to ad-hoc networks
oops.. i just tried on KG1. Didn't connect to an adhoc network setup with WEP.
I even set the properties of the file like:-
owner: Root Group: shell along with proper file permissions.
Still no working.
Huh, god knows, maybe it depends of type of installed ROM.
Galaxy S2, Lightning ROM 2.2, rooted, exchanged downloaded wpa-supplicant with original without changing any owner properties using Root Explorer and Mount R/W and R/O option,
and - it works, after reboot, sure.
I heard that gingerbread 2.3.x does not support ad-hoc wifi but froyo 2.2.x supports it!!!!
There is a file in the sticky thread. wtf it works fine. Im using it on M250S - 2.3.4
delete the file first ,than paste the new file back ,reboot
guys, is there any conclusion from this thread? i'm getting desperate too

Working on stock KG3, Litening(all versions),Villain(all versions), others i didn't test...
I tested using Bzeek wifi hotspot creator on windows Vista, if you can't connect to WEP, try Bzeek, its open network but password is needed to use it
I have the LG Optimus 3D and I wanted to use my old WinMo phone as an ad-hoc server. I searched a lot and finally found the solution:
First of all you need a rooted device.
Go to Market and install "ZT-180 Adhoc Switcher". Run this program everytime you want to connect to ad-hoc.
The device acting as server needs to have its SSID to "AndroidTether" and require no password.
Don't forget to revert back to "infrastructure" mode after ending your session otherwise you won't be able to connect to normal hotspots.
There is no guarantee that this will work on all devices. Just try and see...
My phone were able to connect to sprint to and is ready to accept connections but my EVO VIEW did not detect it. I have no problem detecting my home wifi but not my TP2 using Energy rom.
Any help would be great. I have not update the rom on this View.
ohh man i was having the same problem, and after searching for close to 2 hours i found how to make it work. unfortunately i didnt save any of the links, but i can tell u what to look for.
1. first thing is your evo view needs to be rooted.
2. need to download root explorer, paid app, or es file explorer and manually set it to have root access.
3. then u need to do a search for adhoc or wpa supplicant, which is the file u would get from the adhoc search.
4. turn off wifi.
5. go to system\bin folder and save your old wpa supplicant file. people recommend renaming it as wpa supplicant.old.
6. paste new wpa supplicant file in the system\bin folder.
7. configure permissions for new file.
8. i reset the device but i didnt see anything that said it was necessary.
for some reason the flyer/view does not have permission to connect to adhoc which is what the tp2 tether works as.

I just did it. However your View must be the correct software and hboot versions.
The Stock ROM will not see Ad-Hoc WiFi points, and the NRG ROM will force reboot if one tries to set it up that way. I gave up on changing NRG and just rooted my tablet.
BTW no need to reset the device as a last step, just stop and restart the WiFi.

Hi All,
I’ve just got myself a “bargain” from eBay that was advertised as unlocked but alas turned up with the sim lock on
I’ve contacted the Tmobile network in the UK and they will only send a code to a uk address and I am not there.
I have looked on this and other forums and seen that I could do it myself. I have rooted the phone and now have the yellow warning triangle on boot up. I also have CWM and Superuser icons in the Applications.
I have then tried to go onto the android app store to download Chainfires Galaxy S2 SIM Unlock. I then get the "There are no Android phones associated with this account" problem. Again I have looked at the solution to remove the phone number and re-enter it but this has not worked. I have tried several times.
I do not have Wifi and obviously can’t access the internet on the phone.
Is someone able to kindly send me the file in an email?
Once I have this done what else do I need to do to the phone? I’ve rooted it but only to the closest number I could find.
Thanks to XDA and all of you for reading this!
I'm a little slow so plese can you dumb it down... alot! ha ha
Phone: GT-I9100
Android version - 2.3.5
Baseband version - I9100BOKJ1
Kernel version - 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE2-CL187606 [email protected] #2
Build number - GINGERBREAD.BOKK1
apk
That app only works on early version phones and may not work for you. If it doesn't you should try Helroz's Galaxy S Unlock app it works on all S II's but I believe it requires Internet to get a small payload. Which could be a problem for you unless you drive around for the first open WiFi.
It also doesn't give a code it just straight unlocks the phone.
Thanks. I have downloaded this to my computer. What do I now do with it?
I'm still lost... What do I do?
Please can anyone point me in the right direction!
Thanks
Place the app on your internal or external sdcard and install. Ensure you have enabled 'unknown sources' or something like it in the phone settings first. Allow it root access when prompted by the super user app.

Thanks for the quick reply,
The phone is brand new to me and I don't understand your instruction. I have downloaded the file and extraced the folders and files. I have then placed this onto the card. I then go into the phone and have ticked the unknown sources box. I then try to run any of the files and only get a "No applications can perform this action" error.
If I try to run AndroidManifest.xml it opens HTML viewer.
Anyone Please....
It's an apk, you weren't supposed to extract it. Apk files are android installation packages. Push the apk to your phone's sd card, and open it using the "my files" app to install.
Thanks again. I've done that. I can find the file eu.chainfire.sgs2simunlockcode.zip in My files. When I tap on it I get the message "Open file. No applications can perform this action"
What am I doin wrong? Thanks for your patience

You apparently somehow changed the file extension from .apk to .zip. Change it back.
I had to change the file extension from .zip!
I am not running the app and hopefully that will work. Wish me luck!
What else should I do to a new phone? Is there any way to get rid of the Tmobile startup screens?
Thanks for all your help, you have helped me stop pulling all my hair out and shouting at the dog!
The app did not find an unlock code
Anymore ideas anyone?

You can flash a stock unbranded firmware... But it sounds as if you should read a lot more educational material before attempting this. Lots of good information is in the roll up sticky in the i9100 general section. Start there, and start reading. I can't offer you any shortcuts. Shortcuts tend to lead to frustration and bricked phones.
I have looked into other ways to unlock this phone...
How do I extract my nv_data.bin - I cannot find this file

Could someone please upload helroz sim unlock for me?
Thanks... back to banging my head on the wall! lol
I am still not getting anywhere! Please can someone help
I'm stuck now...
Thank you all
Aren't there services on the web that cost abot $40 and send you an unlock code? I understand that you don't have wifi, and the phone doesn't work. But if that's the case, how r u posting here?

I have a computer with a sim card in it. I know that there are services to unlock but I am trying to avoid that cost if I can. Perhaps after I have tried all other options I will have to go that route.

Hi Guys...
I have a GS3 connected to a wifi network. I want to reteive the wifi network password from it. I know we can do it if the device is rooted. I also dont have access to ADB. Is there any other way to retrieve the password from the device without Root and ADB??

Try using an app from the play store they will save the password for you if you have already entered it before.:laugh:

If you need to recover the pass directly from the device, you need root. There aren't any other way.
Sounds suspicious to me!
If it's a work phone why do you need the wifi password?
If it's already connected why do you need to know the password?
Why don't you just ask your network admin the password if you are allowed access?
Please explain yourself before I report you..

Oh ho.. cool man.. we are in need to test an application which needs internet.. earlier we got the password for a wireless network used by the adjacent team in one of our device.. now my manager is reluctant again going back to them begging for the password.. so he asked me any other way.. even i know how to do it when the device is rooted, but unfortunately the device is not rooted and i cant root it since its not mine.. and there is no adb setup available as well..anyways we got the password..this time he sent me to beg for it..

Wifi passwords are encrypted on my S4 4.3!
Am I the only person that has thier Wifi passwords are encrypted in thier "wpa_supplicant.con" file by default. If not does anyone know how to have it decrypted by default so I could see my wifi passwords. Thanx
worked like a charm on my original tab 1
Used Wifi Key Recovery and never had problems, got the HTC M8 and now when i open the app it show zero protected networks, even though i am on wifi, changed over to Wifi Password Recovery, this one does show all the networks i have logged into but when i press on one of them to get the password, i get HTC=ENCRYPTION:then bunch of letters, non of which are the passwords. Can this be disabled in the HTC, or is it a 4.4.2 issue. Thanks in advance for your help.

I found the keys but they are in Hex format. Even with the usage of a an escape (0x) the wireless card fails to connect using these 24 long passwords.
Does it mean they are encrypted? if so how to decrypt.

Yes, they are encypted. How to decrypt? hard to know before know what type of encryption they use, the result of encryption is a number show in hex... maybe transforming into pure binary and then transforming on something could work... but I really dont know... maybe is just a new type of encryption and the only way to decrypt is to create multiple password you know the result and compare the hex tags.
Hope someone could help us to avoid that kind of work xD
Hey Guys!!
Attempting to change my MAC address I deleted 4 files whose name where WIFI.... something. Right after that My wifi went down and the phone is no longer WIFI capable. I know that I was surfing ROOT file system but instead of copying I clicked delete.
Yeahhhhhh My phone is a chinese model running 4.2.2
what i did was using Xroot file searched for WIFI and selected those files to delete.
SO my guess is that I deleted not only my MAC address but also other configuration files.
Please!!!!!! Help me

You know how many Chinese phones have 4.2.2? Me neither, because there are so many (100s), with such poor documentation that it's ridiculous. Without knowing more info about yours such as board type, brand, screen size, etc, no one can help you unless they have some sort clairvoyant powers.

It would have everything to do with the model of the device. If you have deleted essential /system files, then without knowing what OS and phone you have, how could we get you the right files to replace? It even matters on many of these devices how much storage you have as well because there are different tools to reload depending on that. Seems like it shares a lot of stuff with the Star S7589 phone, so might find stuff on that one to fix if all else fails.
Thank you!
Well what I did was to search WIFI on the root folder... (I wanted to change MAC address somehow) but instead of copying the files for further analysis I deleted like 4 results that apeared with the word WIFI... I am not sure where did I deleted them from...

Sent from my XT1033 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Well I've no clue what you were trying to link to because no matter which way I searched for it, nothing would come up that was close. Tried on the PC and phone and made sure to put the address in how needrom.com would typically see it (I'm familiar with the site) as well as searching for just bits and pieces of the link in Google and on the site. But if it is the original rom for an Alps phone, most likely you have to load with SP Flash Tool, not recovery.
I found this one, which is the update before the one you posted, I think, but it has the how to on flashing: http://www.needrom.com/mobile/star-s7589-10/ Even if that isn't the right firmware, it should be the correct guide to installation.
Thank you!
