Hi All,
I am relatively a new user to Android and have recently bought my new Samsung Galaxy Fit mobile phone.
I have my Broadband connection for my PC and am able to make it as a wireless router. So my only job would be connect my phone to my PC's network.
But, I got to know about the limitations we have in Android phones with Ad-hoc networking and hence will have to tweak the settings, which first requires rooting into the phone.
So, what I am looking for is a way to root into my mobile and if available a complete reference on how to connect to any ad-hoc network that is available.
Thanks so much..! Any response is highly appreciated.

You could use an app such as the one attached. Download and install the attached file and try it. Hope it helps.
Thanks Theonew for your response, but unfortunately the Z4root doesn't seem to work.
I installed it and tried runnin the app, it runs for a while and then auto disappears. I assume that this should have worked but unfortunately when I type "su" in the Terminal it shows Permission denied again.
Little more help..

Try the other app uploaded in my previous post. If it still doesn't work, then go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682 and see if this works.
Hi Theonew,
Thanks for the link. I used SuperOneClick and it worked well.
Now, as I read in many articles I tried using a wpa_suppliant patch to detect the ad hoc networks but this does not seem to detetc any.
Can you please link me to any article if available

I'm not using that specific app but I do use wifi tethering.
I installed Barnacle Wifi Tether and then in settings i set athwlan0 as the LAN port.
It works fine for me, I get 7+ mbits and it's held up for over 5GB so far. Might be worth a shot.
Thanks for the reply. I'm getting an Error notification:

That's the error I got before I manually set up the LAN interface. Did you change that setting?
no, I didn't change a thing. Simply pressed Start as soon as i opened it. I've tried reinstalling it, but no luck
what's your WAN and LAN interfaces set as?

Follow the instructions I posted. The WAN interface is already set, you need to set the LAN interface.

I tried "android wifi tether", It says "no netfilter", by reading the guide from that developer's website, it says we need to get an android 1.6 update. I think it means the android 1.6 in our X10 is the earlier version of 1.6, those tethering software require something in the later version of 1.6. I also found the update on that website, but, X10 does not have recovery mode, so I dont know how to flash the "update.zip" into my x10
I manually set the LAN, but still no luck. The same error screen appears...

Do you have SuperUser working properly? Another thing can also be the WAN setting, it should be something like rmnet0.
i think my superuser is installed properly... I followed the instructions given by bin4ry pretty closely and everything worked. WAN automatically was set to rmnet0.
Hmm, when I use setCpu, it says root not detected... that's kinda akward.

Yeah, it sounds like your rooting has an error. There was a bunch of updated files posted in the rooting guide among them a new SuperUser.apk, post #4 I think.
Confirmed working.

Well you shouldn't need to turn on wifi manually, the app does that automatically. Other than that I have no clue.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
it solved my interface error!
as for the PERMISSION ERROR
I redid the root from Step1-4 (including the hard reset)
it was related to the superuser.apk.
Thank you again for the info.
Zeph, thanks. I will give it a go once I arrive to work.
Thanks again for all the help everyone. I will let you know if it works.

Will let you know.
Hi Everyone,
I was wondering currently I have tested out the Wireless Tether app and its not working for me. I have tried it with or with out access control and neither works. I was wondering if anyone know of an app that works with 2.2 or some changes that need to be made to get it working.
Thanks!
yeah i had that problem too... but the following worked for me with access control on or off and ssd name changed.
1. install this one - http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/files/wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre8.apk
2. restart phone
3. test it out.
4. let us know who it worked.
Hi,
I updated the APK rebooted, I am still not able to see the device. I also tried removing permissions from the old app from superuser and regranting them. Any other ideas?

The copy you uploaded works except for access control, as soon as i enable it it will still connect to the computer but there is no internet access and wifi tether reports starting with errors. WEP still seems to work.

this just happened to me this weekend, it worked with a friends laptop then I shut it off for a while and on next start up it says i'm up and running but the laptop couldn't connect to it anymore. Then again last night I got error and wouldn't start up i'll try to post what the error was on mine. that was using barnacle teather. I endedup using pdanet or w/e but needed to wire it up for it to work.
Hi everyone!
Yes, I am a noob...
Infos:
I already know that every Android device needs a new "wpa_supplicant" file for connecting to Ad-Hoc Networks e.g. created by my Nokia's JoikuSpot or sth. else...
If there's another option, tell me
Also I've heard about this application:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jrummy.root.browserfree
that supposedly can be installed on an unrooted device!
The question:
For me it doesn't make sense, that you can install an app which has access to all files without rooting the tablet at first.
Can I replace the wpa_supplicant without rooting and be happy with tethering 3G from my phone to the tablet?
AdHoc Networks are my only cause for rooting but it seems to be quite difficult, maybe no one did it already with the slate ... I can't find instructions to do it anyway...
Please HELP

This is for those who want to connect to internet using pc without wifi!!!

Just follow the instructions wich should really work.

problem is all cm7 for my mobile have usb tether bug .. and the app doesn't work with wired tether app ;(
I download and try all cm7 2day after read tht post
I hope to find fix for the bug soon
When you say without wifi. Do you mean the PC and phone don't have wifi working radios? Because if they do and you have a wired internet connection just use connectify. It's free and works great. I may have misunderstood the purpose of the thread though.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
After reviewing the app I guess I don't see my personal usefulness in such an app unless either the PC or phone don't have functioning wifi radios. Which I could see in a desktop. I do however see the usefulness on connecting to a PC to use it's internet. Clearly this app is for others that do require this function.

problem
I upgraded to the latest one today and it seemed to start working. After running the program (I had it set to control 3g....or make apps work as if it saw 3g), it won't let me connect to v* with networking. Voice and sms works fine, but the 3g/1x doesn't work at all.
I'm going to try to restore from a backup and see what happens. Anybody have any ideas?
---------- Post added at 01:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:47 AM ----------
Not sure what happened, but I restored from a clockworkmod recovery backup I did earlier today (before I used reverse tether). Luckily, this seemed to get my network connection (3g/1x) back.
Reverse Tether is a great idea and it's really something I need, but I'm a little leery about using it now since it messed my 3g connection up.

I cant afford to buy a router or new wifi modem, plz help with this.
You have the answer in your OP itself. Check this out:
nectify can work in Ad-Hoc mode with just about any Wi-Fi device on Windows 7, Vista, or XP.
However, to run in Access Point mode, you must be running Windows 7, and you must have a Windows 7 certified network device driver for your Wi-Fi device. You have this device driver if you own any Windows 7 logo certified Wi-Fi device (laptop, dongle, card, etc.). However, many older devices have also been updated with Windows 7 certified drivers.

Instead of replacing your wpa_Supplciant file manually, you can use wifi adhoc enabler app which will take a backup of your wpa_supplicant file and modify it so that our mobile will detect adhoc-wifi.
