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

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

Greetings to all. I have ROM prime 1.6. At me such problem. There is no return through wi-fi. Speed of return - 0. An access point - Ad-Hoc, created through Connectify me. What can it be? Forgive for my English
I'm not sure if ad hoc is possible on the Transformer. I've tried rooting mine and changing the wpa supplicant file with one that was supposed to work. No luck.
If anyone else has a way to get the Transformer to connect via ad hoc, I'm all ears.

I have my Asus transformer connecting to my iPhone which uses an adhoc type of connection
All ive done was add the wpa_supplicant to my Asus's System/bin and replaced the WPA that was there... oh by the way backup the old one before u replace it...
yout will need root access, root explorer and the modified Wpa_supplicant file
I used the search feature of this forum and found this for you -
adhoc thread 1
adhoc thread 2
adhoc thread 3
Mine works fine with my Hero running an adhoc spot.
Interesting... can I just confirm something?
So in order for my TF101 to detect and use Ad Hoc connections, i must do the following.
1. Root my TF 101
2. Replace the wpa_supplicant file
3. Have my Nokia 5800 run JoikuSpot
4. Done!
Sorry, i'm really new to this.
Dears,
I found many methods to patch android to connect to ad-hoc networks,
method 1:
Manually configure the wpa_supplican in this way
http://www.olsr.org/?q=olsr_on_android
but this method is for Galaxy S and cant apply it on Galaxy Nexus or ICS devices.
method 2:
to patch wpa_supplican
removes the [IBSS] flag from scan results,
masquerades and demasquerades ad-hoc ssid with (*) prefix
sets mode 1 (ad-hoc) if the ssid is for IBSS
permits the supplicant to select an IBSS when associating to a given ssid
and i don't know any of these as im not a developer but i need this function BADly.
+1 to this thread, i also need the adhoc features. hope the great devs here will give us hope
I also need this feature

Indeed I am in a hotel with cable only Internet and I would like to share my laptop connection with an adhoc wifi network but my galaxy nexus doesn't see the network.
I am instead connected with my asus transformer which sees the adhoc network, so some android device works
Actually, the method1 you mentioned works perfectly.
I just tested it with a UbuntuAdhoc network on a ICS 4.0.3 ROM.
Just one remark,
it will fail when you run:
su -c "/system/bin/wpa_cli -p /data/misc/wifi/"
You have to modify as:
su -c "/system/bin/wpa_cli -u"
Hy all, so this is reported working on ICS ???
I tried by myself on my Prime but I'm not good enough to do it ( yeah I know I'm a leecher...)
IF A DEV COULD please make a patch would be great ;-)
Best regards
Can somebody confirm whether or not this will work on an Asus Transformer Prime thats been updated to ICS?
So wait.. you started a whole thread about ad hoc under ICS BUT (1) just posted info already found elsewhere and (2) posted the first "fix" but yet it cannot work under ICS despite this thread having an ICS title and (3) mention wpa_supplicant files and nothing about how to edit them or the fact ICS has 2 wpa_supplicant files.
fail.
hi, recently i bought the new transformer TF700 and i want to connect to internet through ad-hoc but when i find and connect to ad-hoc SSID in wireless page of TF700 the process stay on obtaining ip... and nothing to do ..., i know if i want connect to ad-hoc have to make root system and then change the file .... but i try to find the way that wont need to root system.any Buddy know any solution to do it ???
thanks
Do yourself a favor and just root the device. It's completely reversible and does not void your warranty.
Otherwise, you will forever be looking for "workarounds" to do things that are easily done when rooted...

thanks for your advice, but if i want root the device that has ICS how can i do it?would you inform me, and then the right file that can resolve my ad-hoc problem which is useful for TF700.
thanks alot

I tried rooting TF700, but still cannot connect to ad hoc with windows 7.
I tried all the possible ways. Or am i missing some important step?
Perhaps the adhoc connection is set up incorrectly. I have an adhoc connection set up with joikuspot on a symbian device and I did not have to modify anything or even root my tf700
Forenote: I believe I am in the correct forums section but If I am not, please redirect me. Thanks.
My phone is rooted. I have kingroot installed.
I am trying to spoof my mac address on my android for wifi. I have downloaded just about every app on the Playstore that has to do with automatic MAC spoofing/changing. I have gotten two apps to work. The app "MacSpoofer" (and another app I cannot remember) that have appeared to change my mac address, but when I try and use the internet I cannot connect to anything.
It says I have correctly spoofed my mac, and it displays two mac addresses; my original mac address, and then below it, it shows the new mac address that it has given me to use, but when I try to connect to the internet on the wifi it cannot connect to anything.
If anyone has a solution to my problem or another app I could use from the playstore that would work with my phone, or a guide I'd appreciate it.
Hi,
Here is the section for your device, http://forum.xda-developers.com/t/galaxy-core-prime
You could ask there for help. My guess though, is that since you rooted with kingroot, you still have a write protected system, and therefore can't accomplish this. Just a guess though, as I don't know about your specif device. The folks in the section above do though.
Maybe this could help too, http://www.xda-developers.com/spoof-your-mac-address-the-easy-way/
Good luck!
