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

This is the conslusion-
Use this file- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15773095&postcount=44
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...
NEEDS ROOT!
Here it is a compatible wpa_supplicant for 2.3.5
tested and working with yp g70 2.3.5 and x10 mini 2.1 with barnacle.
Probably it works with symbian (joikuspot) and windows 6.5 wifi tethering
don’t forgot to backup your original wpa_supplicant file!!!
Transfer the wpa_supplicant file to your phone SD card.
Now copy wpa_supplicant file to /system/bin folder using root explorer (select R/W read and write)
reboot and test it!
thanks
this work in galaxy s2 now i can use adhoc

Nice. This works on my Galaxy S2 running AndroidMeda 4.47 with an adhoc wifi hosted off my Ubuntu laptop.
Btw tapioco2000 can you tell how you got hold of this file, just to know the source a sensitive binary I am running after all that CareerIQ hooplah?
When I tried this is broke my WiFi for my device (Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0), I was able to fix it by returning the original file though.
Any reason why it didn't work ? =(
Ad-hoc support is very, very important to me in order to have my SGP functioning to my needs.
Thanks!

This wpa is tested ONLY with gingerbread.

Tried it again and it worked! Not sure why it didn't the first time, but it's working smoothly. Now I can connect my Galaxy Player 5 anywhere I go... rather tedious but possible now =)
(I tether my non-smartphone to my iPod Touch via Bluetooth, then output the 3G connection through the iPod Touch's wireless as an adhoc connection)
Now just need to find a way to tether my non-smartphone to the Galaxy directly as I do with iBluever on my iPod touch.

Ibluever is a great app.
If you have an android phone (with minimum 2.2) you could try Autotether, it's similar to ibluever, but it works only with android.

Hmm i'll look into that then! It's a Samsung phone called the "Samsung Mythic" so it's not android, but it has the ability to DUN connect to both the iPod Touch and computers with a Bluetooth chip-- hopefully i'll find something at some point haha
Thanks again for the ad-hoc trick!

Do you use MyWi to output the 3G connection through the iPod Touch's wireless as an adhoc connection for G70? Or another program?
please help

Huawei Ideos x3
Just to let you know, I am desperately seeking a solution to adhoc connectivity, so I tried your supplicant file on my rooted Huawei (U8510) Ideos X3 (gingerbread 2.3.5) with high hopes...
Unfortunately - no joy (wifi scanning finds no access points and shuts itself off after a few seconds)... Any idea why please?
(I haven't "broken" anything, it was no problem to restore a backup of the wpa file... so - no panic!)
How do I go about tweaking this wpa_supplicant file myself? (I may be a n00b on this forum, but i'm a chap with 30 years in the industry.... C++, HTML, PHP, Vis. Basic etc... ALL the usual suspects )
I greatly appreciate ANY light anyone can shed on this issue (in advance)...

I'm going to assume this is the problem...
Click on your wpa_supplicant file, go to properties (I'd suggest doing this on the device itself) and enable R/W/X for the file. Make sure ALL of them are enabled. (Read, Write, Executable).
Let me know if this solves your issue!

I had already tried CHMODing the file, but followed your advice anyway and recopied the file applying a CHMOD 777 (ALL), to no avail - same result as before...

If you haven't modified anything else... using the original file + allowing R/W/X should fix it 100%. I even "broke it" to where it wouldn't stay enabled for more than like 5 seconds to test it. Try editing it with ES Explorer and make sure your in the right directory as there are multiple wpa_supplicant files throughout the root of the device.

I find it is no problem to replace my original wpa_supplicant file over these modified ones, restoring my original functionality, making nearby protected hotspots visible again...
Furthermore, this file should be going to /system/bin/ I believe?
I use ES explorer (nice) but couldn't edit either the original supplicant file, nor subsequent versions on my handset.... maybe on a pc? But - what am I looking for within the file?
What to edit?
this works on my galaxy s also
Wifi Not working in Root Box and SuperNexus 2..(Stuck on "Obtaining IP adress")
Hi,
I Have GSIII I9300. It's rooted and I have installled latest Siyah Kernel and running Latest Jellybean Touchwiz 4.1.2. All is well.
I decided to try another Rom as secondary rom. I installed the Rootbox Rom and gapps as per instructions. And it booted
all is working except that the Wifi gets stuck at "Obtaining IP address". It connects to my network but doesn't get IP address from DHCP.
I thought it was a rom specific issue, So I tried SuperNexus 2.0..Still the same issue! I also tried installing them as Primary rom.
Still it gets stuck at "obtaining IP address".
Anyone have any inputs on what could be the issue here??
Finally Figured it out...
All you have to do is, Install a Touchwiz rom. Setup your Wifi.
Then go to "System/Etc" and copy the 'wifi' folder onto your External SD CARD. take note of the permissions on it before hand.
And then boot into your second (Or problematic) rom, turn off Wifi, and delete the same folder from same location (OR BACK IT UP!) and paste in your prev. copied folder in it's place. and set the permssions accordingly. And then Start Wifi!
Sorry I can't write properly. I am typing this using Wifi with PA ON MY SGS3!
Hi I don't no what the problem is but I have the same issue with rootbox and most new builds of cm10.1 AOKP aosp I found the way to fix it was using a static IP address also it doesn't matter what router I use even trying to tether to my wife's gs3 she dose not have this problem on hers running the same roms
Yes. I also can run with static ip, but then it loses Internet connectivity for some reasons.. sometimes it will come back and sometimes not.
Yes. Only happens in CM and AOSP roms..
i use rootbox most of the time and the first rom it stoped working on was nightly 20130125 i looked in the changelog and found this
rootBox Project name: vendor_samsung
•codeworkx - smdk4412: cleanup
•codeworkx - smdk4412: update bt and wifi firmware
•codeworkx - smdk4412: add t0ltei
i think the wifi firmware upgrade may be the problem as all nightleys before worked and none since have, hope this helps you work out the problem
I am running the latest stable release. BTW, I found thst it neither works in any non touch wiz ROM. When I set static IP. It connects to the network for a while and then disconnects.... connects but internet doesn't work.. really frustrating.
mine is the exact same i never noticed about conection to internet as i have unlimted data and olny use the router for straming meadia around house i also think not many s3 have this problem like i said my wife has a s3 and on the same roms her conection is fine so dont think it will be fixed any time soon if at all and searching the foroms has not showed up anything
WiFi problems worth trying a different kernel.
jje
thanks tried siayh,yank555,stock cm and temaseks none have worked fore me
So.....No custom roms for us???....damn sucks.....that's the reason I bought S3 for just now.

Thanks NHS2008 - how exactly did you do the file swapping? The file explorers/managers I have tried aren't able to do it for some reason!

I used ES Explorer on Standard TouchWiz Rom and used CM File manager that was present in PA Rom.
Sadly, Roms like SuperNexus and Rootbox don't come with ANY file manager by default.
Though you can of course use your data to download ES File explorer on other roms..
AND you need to be rooted to be able to access these folders.
In Es Explorer, Go into Settings/Root Settings and enable first three options.
The 'wifi' folder is located in "/sytem/etc/.."
(Press back when in SD CARD in ES)
also when i used the wifi file from a touchwiz rom although the wifi worked it stoped my wifi teather from working so i went back to the last rootbox rom that had wifi and wireless teather working extrated wifi folder pasted and now both are working. again many thanx for the fix

i had same problem last night when using touchwiz wifi folder either change the kernel to siayh or use the wifi folder from rootbox as above
Working
Well, this worked for me! (Finally)
I did this procedure.
1: I wiped my device, installed a touchwiz rom (Darky S3 v8.8).
2: Downloaded ES File Explorer
3: In ES FE, I asked for root access, R/W ability on system.
4: Copied the wifi map to my external sd card,
5: Went back to recovery, wiped my device again.
6: Installed new rom (SuperNexusRom 2.0 build 4)
7: Downloaded ES File Explorer
8: In ES FE, I asked for root access, R/W ability on system.
9: Copied my backup from external sd card back.
10: For rebooting, I activated the wifi. (Didnt work the first time)
11: Rebooted my device.
12: After booting, worked like a charm. (Now rebooted 20 times or so)
Hopefully this works for you guys to.
Notes:
- Having some glitches when turning on Bluetooth. Wifi connection is killed several times, but comes back up.
- Havent tried wifi tethering, dont use it here.

Dear Friends,
I've two identic tablet.
In one of this the wifi connection don't work properly, so I decide to install custom rom, but don't work the touch.
I find the original rom, and I reinstall it. But now the g-sensor don't work.
So I've found another rom, in wich the wifi don't work, and the g-sensor yes.
My question is: is there a way to change or wirte a file to work properly wifi and g-sensor?
What I've to change? Wich file drive the g-sensor or the wifi in android?
The two rom has rooted, so I can fully access to all files!
Thanks
whatever

Since i come to these forums of xda i have noticed an attitude towards new members that new persons posts are not responded to at all.
Hi All,
My company has bought us 5 Galaxy Tab 2 10's to use on the job for displaying photos etc to customers, but they are insisting we have bluetooth and wifi permenantly disabled so they can't be used for anything else. I have looked around on google and found that I need to root the devices and then rename some module files to disable the wifi and bluetooth chips.
So far I have rooted one (no problems) and installed root explorer, gone into system/libs/modules where I found 2 files, I renamed one to .bak and rebooted as a test and now it won't boot! But anyway I will reflash it to get it fixed, my question is....
What are the names of the files I need to rename on the Galaxy Tab 2 10 to disable wifi and bluetooth? Are they in system/lib/modules on this device or somewhere else?
Thanks in advance, Mike.
