Hello,
Is it possible for a rooted GEN8 device to connect to an AD HOC wireless network?
If yes, has anyone managed doing it?
Thanks
Root could open the door for trying the WPA Supplicant fix that is floating around. That fix involves editing a couple of files. Will it work?...I'm not sure.
Also, depending on the phone, you can use the 3G hotspot hack to connect you Archos. That's how I have my 101 tethered to my X.
My phone is the motorola Backflip loaded with custom rom (preclair - j-r0dd 1.3.1) which enables routing (by dedault backflip cannot route). The problem is that bluetooth tethering crashes my phone so my only solution is wifi tethering ... I dont think 3G hotspot hack will work in my phone or no ?? I am not an expert so any help is valuable for me.
thanks
I found this App it installs just fine on my a32 with an nice Ahoc setup . I am rooted on my archos and I allow it .. starts just fine looks like it is runing and working .
However I need to try and get it to connect to a Adhoc network . So I will test it tonight from my laptop and my WM phone ...
I will keep you updated ...
Here is the APK .
http://code.google.com/p/desire-adhoc/downloads/detail?name=desire-adhoc-0.0.1.apk
Update The program above did not work .. However There is a working FIX posted here I just tested it using wifirouter on my vx6800 WM phone and it works great my archos gen 8 a32 connects to AD-HOC and it's fast !
Here is the post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=904291
Here is a copy of the steps by mindsurfer he posted :
Get root access:
1) Install SDE
2) Get the initramfs from this post (download the kernel+init.zip and extract it): http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...44&postcount=1
3) Replace the zImage with the new overclocked kernel
4) Boot into SDE recovery menu and copy the initramfs.cpio.gz and zImage through USB cable
5) Boot into SDE developer OS
6) You should get all your apps here and have superuser right now
Suddenly no wpa_supplicant was not working on mine, so you have to change configuration file wpa_supplicant.conf to get Adhoc:
1) get Rootexplorer
2) open root explorer and find /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
Here is mine (second network is my normal router):
update_config=0
ctrl_interface=tiwlan0
ap_scan=2
network={
ssid="ardrone_108549"
key_mgmt=NONE
priority=1
mode=1
}
network={
ssid="BytecekG"
psk="PASSWORD"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
priority=1
}
4) overwrite wpa_supplicant.conf in Archos with new content
5) change rights to wpa_supplicant.conf to RW-RW-RW-
6) delete file tiwlan.ini
7) start drone and then wifi on Archos
When you restart you should repeat step 5 and step 6 and step 7.

Great work !!!
The way I get my A70 to tether is as follows:
Root Android phone and flash Android 2.2 rom, which has wireless hotspot feature.
Create wireless hotspot on phone.
Tether A70 to phone wirelessly.
Never had any luck with bluetooth.
WIFI tether
I use the 3g hotspot of my HTC Legend 2.2 with my A70, and it's working great. I just had to change the user agent of the A70's browser in the settings, not to be charged by Vodaphone (SFR in France) extra connection fees.
I have the patched source files for wpa_supplicant based on the Archos Froyo source code with the fix from (i can't spell it right now, I know they/he/she wrote Barnacle Tether). I just do not have the means to compile it yet. I can post these when I get home if someone wants to compile the module. Should show adhoc networks in the list with an asterisk. The Nook Color group is using this mod.
Thanks a lot for this tethering method.
Works great on a A70it, latest 2.1.2 rom, rooted with Archangel.
I managed to have a thether connection with an LG GW620 running openetna and Barnacle Wifi Tether.
FYI enabling AdHoc in tiwlan.ini didn't work for me but this method of removing the tiwlan.ini worked like a charm.
Wireless Tether for rooted phones works in infrastructure mode. All you have to do to your tablet is connect. Just another option not mentioned.
The topic is about ad-hoc networks, let's try to stick to it.
Archos' firmware specifically disables ad-hoc networking, it seems enabling it back is as simple as editing a configuration file. So you need root (to have the right to edit that file) and you need to do it at every boot since the filesystem is read only.
At least that's what I've understood by looking on those threads.
Im trying write sh script to switch wpa_supplicant.conf files and turning wi-fi on/off.
How can i manualy with root right stop and start wi-fi?
example sh script for activate adhoc
Code:
#ifconfig wlan down ??
cp /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf /sdcard/wpa_supplicant.backup
cp /sdcard/wpa_supplicant_adhoc.conf /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
rm /data/misc/wifi/tiwlan.ini
#ifconfig wlan up ??
do deactvate we need copy backup file back

I was actually trying to be helpful to the person who started this topic (which wasn't you). He did state that ANY help was valuable to him.

It is helpful to read ALL of the messages. As you can see from his other post, his objective is wifi tethering, and he may have been under the FALSE impression that ad-hoc networking was required for it to work.

Only if the phone supports it. Some phones (like my Eris) do not do infrastructure, no matter which tethering app you try. Believe me, I've tried...

I assumed that most any phone would work in infrastructure once rooted, since that is native functionality used to connect with the phone to wireless access points. That's a bummer. Thanks for setting me straight.
In theory, at least with UrukDroid, this should be possible. I'm not home to test.

beware, after reboot, you'll encounter problem connecting back to your normal wifi network again. There's a way to fix this by changing the permission of wpa_supplicant.conf after every reboot. This is gonna be a manual and painful process
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.

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!
