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!

do you have froyo or gingerbread?
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!

If the original file isn't working I think you have wifi problem not depending on wpa_supplicant
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!

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?

I am able to get the native hotspot working on rooted JUUS06252012 and bypass the "dial 611" message. I'm posting this right now via wifi tethering, on a prepaid plan with a data package.
Before trying to get the native hotspot to work, I did try a few apps first. WiFi Tether for Root works in WPA mode (configured as Epic 4G Touch), but it broke wifi completely after tethering and wifi stayed broken even after a hard reboot. Logcat said a wifi driver file was locked and could not be loaded. I had to factory reset to get wifi working again. FoxFi seemed to work at first, but force closed whenever a client connected.
The mod: I found two values in settings.db to be modified. As we all know, there are many ways to update a sqlite database, but here is one easy way, keeping in mind that the Pantech Burst factory rom lacks many things like BusyBox or the commandline sqlite3. Yes, you need to be rooted:
1. Install Andsen's aShell and aSQLiteManager (not SQLiteManager).
2. Run aShell, check root, tap File Explorer, go to /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases, open settings.db, when prompted to open a copy, say yes and open with aSQLiteManager, tap table secure, tap data and tap "edit" for each of the below
softap_free_supported=1 (old value 0)
softap_entitlement_interval=0 (old value1440)
Then tap back twice. When prompted to commit changes, say yes and exit aShell.
3. Reboot and you can now use the native hotspot. Install a toggle widget for convenience.
*EDIT: with this mod, turning on hotspot from the 2nd level "Portable Wi-Fi hotspot settings" page works reliably, whereas turning it on from the 1st level "Tethering & portable hotspot" page would show the "dial 611" message. Many hotspot widgets work reliably as well, such as HotSpot Toggle, Hotspot Widget or many others.

Did that and my phone is now stuck on boot screen. Removing battery didn't help either
_lost can you check to see if your guide can be updated for the new ICS release? or atleast put a warning up to let people know not to try if they are running ICS on their Pantech Burst?
After a lot of trial and error I have this working on ICS. I tried the free apps first and at first I couldnt even get the change to take. When I did by copying the file editing it then replaceing it the system would just hang on boot. I did get it to work though after having to wipe my device a few times. Now this may still work with the free programs im not realy sure as I figured id give the paid ones a try and got it working. I used the program root explorer. I copied the settings.db and pasted the copy in the same folder. Then I edited the copy in SQLite editor although it still couldnt edit the original.. Then in root explorer I renamed the old file by adding an extension to the end and renamed the new file to replace the old one. Then in root explorer i double checked that the permissions were the same as the old file and also..... (I THINK THIS WAS THE IMPORTANT THING BY THE WAY) I checked the ownership settings in root explorer it was already set to "system" just like the old file. I think the other programs may have been changing the owner of the new file causing issues. Anyway after rebooting it started right up and I can turn on wifi hotspot from either menu. On gingerbread it only worked from the one menu. I hope this works for you guys!!!!!!
by the way i used the original two edits from the first post

Hey thanks! This was the setting that did the trick for me on my Pantech Crossover (P8000). I had recently done the vendor upgrade to Gingerbread and lost root, but more importantly, SVTP's Wifi Hotspot & USB Tether Pro stopped working for me.
I rooted using pawaa's excellent guide and thought that would do the trip, but no such luck. Found this thread, bought SQLite Editor and made the aforementioned changes and all was well.
Guess I don't need SVTP anymore, but the widget works well, and I don't mind having paid for it for the month or so that it worked under Froyo. (Also, it was paid for out of my Nexus 7 $25 credit.) Anyways, just wanted to mention this in case anybody else was trying to get tethering working again on the Crossover after upgrading to 2.3.6.
I am having rooted JUUS03122012.

I tried all of the methods above in ICS and none of them work. Not only do they not work, but if you try to edit the com.android.provider.settings AT&T will block your incoming calls, disable all notifications for messages, and break the home button. I was not able to find away to fix this without reflashing the ROM. I tried repairing the permissions but it did not help. I could not simply change the settings back since it seems AT&T's program did that for me and nonetheless deactivated me.
I can't get this to work either. My phone was purchased as an unlocked device, I didn't realize some things are still locked. :'(
I tried multiple times. I am running the stock (rooted) Android version 4.04 Baseband version JUUS09032012. Everything was setup fresh, all I did was root the device, get my Google account logged in and install the Superuser app, aShell and aSQLiteManager. I didn't stop, disable or uninstall any apps. Then followed the instructions here carefully.
I also tried the "Secret Codes Revealer" method with no luck. But I did not get any popups requesting root access when trying that method, so I can't imagine it doing anything.
I really love the phone - it is everything I want other than the tethering restriction. Hopefully this will be figured out before I am tempted by the new Nexus phone to be announced soon.
I used root browser to make a copy of the database file, edited it with asqlite, then went back to root browser and renamed the copy to the actual database. Then I booted into cwm and selected fix permissions and it works fine. That was the only way I could get it to work.

i face the same problem but i decided to try it one more time
here is what I done
i use a sqllite editor premium
do a backup of the files
i use the root explorer and copy the settings.db and paste in the same folder
after that i used sqlite editor and then settings.storage
after that i change the following values
softap_free_supported=1 (old value 0)
softap_entitlement_interval=0 (old value1440)
entitlement_pdp _checked changed from 0 to 1
than sve it and replace the settings.db by deliting or renaming the original one
than change the settings -copy.db to the settings.db
and delete all the other files that exist in that folder except settings.db (delete .db-shm and .db-wal also)
or
replace all the files in the data/data/com.providers.settings/databases from the attachment
Just download the attachment from Post# 17 and use Root Explorer to overwrite/replace all the files in the data/data/com.providers.settings/databases from the attachment.
It works like Charm.
Thanks irbaaz
Hmm... I didn't touch "entitlement_pdp _checked" but it all seems to work anyway.

Hi I would like to ask, what are some of the core files that wifi depend on to be able to work?
And what permissions are set for those files? I am using a Cowon Z2 which runs on Android 2.3.5, and it suddenly stops detecting hotspots. It just keeps scanning endlessly with no hotspots. My Nexus S can detect and connect still.
I tried a couple of things like, removing the data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf file to allow it to generate a new file, but it still fails.
Please let me know what are the files I should see to ensure that wifi works.
OR
How do I know if my wifi hardware is dead?
Thanks
Check what kernel u use. Some kernel doesnt contain wifi libs, neither the ROM. Ask ur ROM n kernel dev for more info.

I didn't install any custom ROM for my Cowon Z2, as there are no ROM for it. It's running stock.
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.
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 and paste in your prev. copied folder in it's place. and set the permssions accordingly. And then Start Wifi!

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.
