[FREE MOBILE][FreeWifi_secure][WIFI][EAP-SIM] HOWTO - HTC EVO 3D

Hi,
In France, the 4th Mobile Operator, FREE, is launching a wifi access for mobile phone. This access is relayed by all the Adsl Box from FREE ADSL.
The SSID of this Wifi Access is "FreeWifi_secure" and it is protect by WPA EAP-SIM.
FREE is solding some android phones with the ability to configure EAP-SIM but they do not share the changes they made it on their Roms.
I use an EVO 3D GSM with KingIceCobra3D 1.2. And i found a simple method to connect to this wifi.
In the file:
/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
Code:
adb shell cat /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=wlan0
update_config=1
device_type=10-0050F204-4
config_methods="push_button keypad"
[COLOR="Red"]network={
ssid="FreeWifi_secure"
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP IEEE8021X
eap=SIM
priority=5
}
[/COLOR]
Add theses Lines in red
Carefull to preserve the rigths of this file after the modification
1) Get the File and rename it to wpa_supplicant.conf
2)
Code:
adp push wpa_supplicant.conf /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
adb shell chown 1000:1010 /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
adb shell chmod 660 /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
adb shell ls -l /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
-rw-rw---- 1 1000 1010 272 May 17 09:10 /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
adb shell cat /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=wlan0
update_config=1
device_type=10-0050F204-4
config_methods="push_button keypad"
network={
ssid="FreeWifi_secure"
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP IEEE8021X
eap=SIM
priority=5
}

Hi Fxjumper,
I'm really interesting in your solution.
I don't find data/misc ...
Can I create it or have I to use a specific file manager.
I have tried with "file manager" and "file expert"
Thanks for your help

Use a root file browser. Root Explorer. Also, be sure to mount it as RW (advanced options)

Thank u for your help.
a) All right : I put the wpa_supplicant.conf into my phone but now i can't activate wifi due to an error
b) what the second code is for ? (what have i to do with this code ?)
thx
Edit : a) it's Ok now after editing the file : i don't have to replace the initial text but to add the red text from fxjumper (i'm an idiot cause that's what he said )
The B) point isn't resolve : what is the code for and when have i to put it inside ?

---

Hello,
The second code is an example to install the wpa_supplicant.conf file. This replaces your ssid configured.
Your solution is preferable, because you do not remove your existing configuration but add the SSID "FreeWifi_secure".
Sincerely,

Precisions
(Google traduction --- sorry)
After a few questions in Private Message, here is a method from a blank file and edit it.
i) file format (dos or unix encode)
ii) to file permissions
This is how I propose to proceed
1) recovering the file on the computer
2) we change
3) upload it on the mobile
4) we check the consistency of the file (right)
------------------------
It is left
------------------------
1) I assume the phone is Rooted
we will save the file wpa_supplicant.conf that derail and recreate one:
Code:
adb shell
cd /data/misc/wifi
cp-a wpa_supplicant.conf wpa_supplicant.conf.sav
rm wpa_supplicant.conf
exit
Switch OFF/ON the wifi
Copy the file on the computer
pull adb shell /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf wpa_supplicant.conf
2) To modify the file I suggest you use notepad++
http://download.tuxfamily.org/notepa....Installer.exe
Edit the file, and add at the end
network = {
ssid = "FreeWifi_secure"
key_mgmt = WPA-EAP IEEE8021X
eap = SIM
priority = 5
}
save
3) is the upload
Code:
adb push wpa_supplicant.conf /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf.new
4) It checks the credentials and the owner and the old file
Code:
adb shell
cd /data/misc/wifi/
ls -l wpa_supplicant.conf
----> -rw-rw ---- 1 1000 1010 185 May 20 5:31 p.m. wpa_supplicant.conf
We crush our file
Code:
cat wpa_supplicant.conf.new > wpa_supplicant.conf
This should solve our problem of right and permissions
we check again:
Code:
ls -l wpa_supplicant.conf
----> -rw-rw ---- 1 1000 1010 185 May 20 5:31 p.m. wpa_supplicant.conf
Sincerely,

Another way, as we most use a custom rooted rom, is to use a rooted filemanager.
For exemple, i use ES File Explorer, set so it accesses /data RW, then edit the file with ES's editor. No need to set back file's permissions.

Hello B_E_N,
In private message, you said you are using a motorola milestone xt720 under cronosx 2.3.7, a cyanogen mod 7 customized.
Now i sent you a patch with /system/framework/com.orange.authentication.simcard.jar
We are waiting your test ...
Sincerely,

CM9 nightlies + SGS
Hello,
I just tried this modification, but cannot find a way to make it work...even though I doublecheck both the permission and the content of the file
For information, I'm running CM9 nightlies for my Samsung Galaxy S.

Until now it doesn't work for me ... even with rom toolbox. Permissions and owners are checked and ok.
Next try : via adb & androisd sdk.

Here's how i proceede from ground up on my EVO 3D, with Mwakious, Predator and KingCobra ICS roms.
1/ go in settings and select FreeWifi_secure
2/ set a lock PIN as requested
3/ switch off WiFi
4/ open ES File Explorer
5/ check "Up to Root", "Root Explorer" and "Mount FileSystem" in ES File Explorer settings
6/ navigate to /data/misc/wifi
7/ edit wpa_supplicant.conf
8/ save
9/ switch on WiFi and select FreeWifi_secure
10/ unset lock PIN
Hope it helps.

I'm using CM7.2 on a Nexus One.

But doesn't work... It tries to connect but fails.
