[Q] How to connect Galaxy Tab 7.7 to ad-hoc wireless AP? - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

I know that Android cannot connect to ad-hoc wireless AP and there are hacks that replace wpa_supplicant module with a modified one after root. However I am new to Android and also my P6800 (Galaxy tab 7.7) is also relatively new, I don't know which wpa_supplicant version it uses and where the modified version is? Is there anyone who modified P6800 successfully and can connect to adhoc AP?
I also appriciate a detailed instruction from how to root till replacing this module as I am not familiar with these operations.
By the way after root can I upgrade firmware when it is released?
Thank you all for the help!

Galaxy Tab 7.7 Ad-Hoc enablement in progress
I've rooted my 7.7 tab using the instructions from Pocketnow (very easy and quick). They are specific to the 7.7 tab. I would post the link but I'm not allowed as a new poster!
I'm about to manually copy a new wpa_supplicant file using Root Browser (free from Google Play).
I'll let you know what happens!
Edit:
Managed to copy over the original file but the one I used is obviously not compatible as I couldn't enable WiFi afterwards. It's probably to do with the versions. I'll have to do some more research!

OK, thanks, this is what I worried, I don't know which one is the good version for 7.7. But have you backed up the original one and restored it?
I also want to know which root you used, if you cannot post link can you remove 'http://www' so it will not be regarded as a link (like I do below)?
There is one worry about root, some people said after root, if you uninstall busybox, wifi will not work:
thegalaxytabforum.com/index.php?/topic/9039-galaxy-tab-gt-p6800/

This is the root I used:
pocketnow.com/android/how-to-root-the-samsung-galaxy-tab-77-without-kies-or-odin
I installed superuser as suggested and WiFi still worked ok (not ad-hoc yet though, obviously!).
It didn't take long at all for the root to be applied.
I'm just attepting a wpa_supplicant that is confirmed working on the 10.1 tab so will let you know...
Edit:
Just tried this:
androidtablethacks.com/android-tablet-hacks/how-to-enable-adhoc-wifi-on-android-tablets/
but no joy for the 7.7.
I now have two alternative versions of the wpa_supplicant file and neither allows Wifi to re-enable after reboot. Restoring to the original file has worked no problem so I haven't needed to re-flash my tab.
I will try to get hold of a 7.7 specific version.

I'm thinking that the only solution may be to get a MiFi unit that will run an infrastructure network that can be detected by the SGT7.7.
I will keep investigating a wpa_supplicant solution.

Thank you. So there is no good version for 7.7 yet?
As for root, superuser is OK, but the problem is on busybox. I also saw some different versions of root packages, some of which claims to not have busybox inside.

I have come across multiple versions of the wpa_supplicant file but I have not found one that enables ad-hoc on the 7.7 yet. As someone else posted elsewhere, they are a much smaller file size than the stock one (>500kb).
I have not used busybox at all. Once I rooted my device I installed Superuser from the marketplace. This manages all my root permissions.
I have also installed Root Browser to allow file and permissions manipulation of wpa_supplicant.

When I used ipad, it was so convenient to connect to the ad-hoc wifi spot that my Nokia E72 shared. Now with 7.7 I am totally blocked on the way. I can put my IM card into 7.7 to get Internet, but 7.7 is not a convenient phone...
Maybe we have to wait...
Edit: It seems your root.zip (614kb) already includes superuser and busybox.

Samsung Transform

The Samsung Transform has the same vulnerability as the Epic (joeykrim-root.sh works to get root).
So how would I go about rooting? Would I use the same process as the EPIC 4g?
if you're good with linux, you can follow the directions in this link forum.sdx-developers.com/epic-development/adb-root-exploit-test

I don't mean to be a ****, but what app have you installed that requires root access? I have a specific one, roam manager, that will not run. I believe you may have seen visually that it was rooting it, but it does not do squat.

Rooting Help
Can someone give some detailed instructions on rooting the Samsung Transform???
I agree with cachorropedorro, I'm looking to root for wifi teathering also..... Tried a few methods also.... No luck.
Guys, I've never rooted a phone before and this is my first android. I looked a the Joeyconway version of root.... I'm having a hard time following the command prompts??? Any suggestions?
Is there going to be a transform category? Are there other pages about rooting this new phone??
I was able to root my transform using the ocr joey krimm root method, the drivers for the epic finally worked after restarting the phone, one thing i noticed about the transform was that the ratc script takes longer to work and does not always work. I modified the bat file to have a longer wait after running the ratc file, however that doesnt even work all the time, if you manually run the ratc script and then run the bat it should work thats what i had to do. I also updated the su bin and the busybox version from the current version of the one click root because the files in the ocr.zip have an older su bin that doesnt use superuser.apk and the busybox is not compatible with ti backup.
Mark920,
Can you give some more detailed directions for all of us that are newbees? Like I said in a earlier post, I've never rooted a phone so some of the things you were talking about like ratc script confuses me. Any detailed steps would be awsome.

Rogers Captivate-2.2 updated and found an interesting apk

I was just going through the /system/app directory and found this rather interesting .apk in there, "TetheringManagerRogers1126.apk". Anyone have any idea what Rogers is doing with this? Do you think this is what is causing people with non-tethering enabled accounts (under 1 gig of data) to not be able to use the Mobile AP feature? Would removing it bypass the restriction? Hoping someone with more Android knowledge can shed some light on it.

Does rooting not allow tethering in the Rogers 2.2?
Regarding your first reply, that has now disappeared:
"Root and tether to your hearts content."
I am rooted, how do you think I was looking through the /system/app directory structure.
Regarding your edited reply, rooting does not disable your ability to tether.
The point of my post was more towards the people that now cannot tether after upgrading to 2.2, there are numerous complaints about it. Mostly from Fido users by the looks of it. The option is disabled for them, if they try to enable Mobile AP it says something about contacting Rogers. I was thinking that possibly this file is the reason, and if they were to remove it, maybe they could enable Mobile AP again.
Tethering does not work for me, when it used on iOS. I never tried on Android 2.1, as I used mobile AP a few times instead. Maybe I just need to set it up again with Rogers since I just renewed my contact...
Mobile AP still works, but just one device at a time it seems? Not sure if thats a limitation or a problem. Now to get VPN to work...

Its a lame attempt at controlling tethering... just remove it and everything will work as usual.

Yes.
The message you have entered is too short.
I just found this thread while trying to fix a problem of Mobile AP/USB tethering disconnecting me after about 5 minutes of use. The reason I mention this is that my account should have not have had any tethering restrictions as I'm on the 6gb data plan. Mobile AP worked fine under 2.1, but as mentioned, after about 5 minutes of use on 2.2, both Mobile AP, and tethering would just shut off. I was able to tether fine using Kies though. Removed this file, and now have been connected for over an hour on Mobile AP Thanks!

Lol just use TiBu to get rid of "Tethering Manager"in the apps list.
@OP: yes, it does what you thought. But you already found that out.
Alternatively,
1. Root your phone
2. Download "Root Explorer"
3. Rename or Delete the file
4. Reset your phone

[SOLVED] AdHoc Wifi on LG Optimus One P500

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1170232
Someone needs to port this for our LG Optimus One P500.
We all know that Adhoc doesn't work on Android. I've also seen a few thread recommending the use of alternative software on the PC. But one must understand that these software do not support all WiFi adapters and/or need specific OS in order to operate.
If one of our dev can port or make a fresh one, we could vote to make it a "Sticky".
I request you comment your opinion about this.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Download the "wpa_supplicant" from the link below and replace it with the one in your rom. It should work.

Connectify requires Win7, I'm running WinXP. Also, connectify does not support all adapters.
You can checkout the list of adapters which supports connectify:
http://support.connectify.me/home?page=2
Also, was referring to Ad-Hoc, not "Access Point".
Maybe this can help you as it is xp compatible.

Will definitely give it a try . Anyway, about the "G3 AdHoc Wifi Thread" by "jinxskore", it supports even old onboard laptop adapters which is why we definitely need this. You don't need to download any additional application/software....it will detect the AdHoc like an access point which is absolutely cool. Google could have added that with their updates but God knows why not.
I still think one of our dev should make one. I would if I could but I just started using android a month back and rooted yesterday.

Thanks a ton. Before I proceed, is it possible to just copy it through "Root Explorer" instead of flashing it? This is because I'm on stock 2.2.2 rooted and planning to stick with it for a while.
Also, is there a post dedicated to this particular "supplicant"? Would be really handy if there is one. If not, you could make a sticky
Okay, replaced the wpa_supplicant using "Root Explorer" and YES I can confirm it is working. Thanks a ton.

Here, I was referring to "PC-to-Phone" wireless connection which allows internet sharing from the PC to the Phone (not Phone-to-PC) without using any particular OS (eg. Win7) or PC Software (eg. Connectify).
Take a look at the link in the original thread and you'll get the idea of what the post is all about.

problem
so i am able to see the adhoc network i have at home, but now my issue is i am apparently unable to connect to said network. i click connect and it just dismisses the prompt, but with no change to my connection state. ive rebooted the phone many times, disabled data to ensure nothing is coming from 3g, and tried multiple times, so now im at a loss. im also unaware if this has affected my ability to connect to regular networks as i have none available to test right now. any help would be great tho, im still learning my way around adb but these are the commands i used.
adb remount
adb push system/bin/wpa_supplicant /system/bin/wpa_supplicant
adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/wpa_supplicant
and i was instructed to use this as well but it came with an error
adb shell chown system.wifi /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
---------- Post added at 09:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 PM ----------
so i tried again with that chown command after a restart and it went through, and now it still sees the adhoc network, but once i try to connect it just adds it to the bottom of the list saying out of range, and i try again with no results..

I have a Vista machine.
1) First of all I enabled sharing of LAN card
2) Wifi & LAN were not getting enabled at same time (LAN was given auto precedence), issue was resolved by disabling switching of LAN/WLAN in BIOS
3) Installed Connectify
4) configured it to share my LAN connection over WIFI

i have attached the edify ready zip of wpa adhoc
and if u need to convert amend script to edify use the other attachment found via googling
i have flashed this but unfortunately i could connect to ad hoc(of my laptop) only once and that too couldnt access the internet.
Now whenever i make ad hoc from my lappy the option of 'share your internet connection' is not present at all!
My phone is a LG p500 rooted, android 2.3.3 original LG ROM, and my sdcard is partioned, I've not updated the kernel yet... I have used ES File Explorer since Root Explorer is now paid and I have no credit card.
I've tried a wpa_supplicant from another forum and now my android just keeps rebooting.
I set the airplane mode and could use ES File Explorer again to restore original file, but, anyway, my phone just works in 3G networks... whenever I turn on the wifi, the phone reboots....
What exactly is this wpa_supplicant, what it does? in linux terms?
Anyway, I'm gonna give a try in this one in this thread...

Update:
Meanwhile, i found out why my original wpa_supplicant was not working... it seems it is not a file, as i was wondering, it is a program... and when i gave it permissions to override, i set wr-wr-wr... but as a program, it must have the EXECUTION permission: wrx-wrx-wrx ... now my wi-fi is working again... but, still, not detecting ad-hoc ...
anyway, i can try again with differente version i backed up my original, and now i know how to fix it...
in case of success, i post here!

Update:
ad-hoc now working! \o/
there are many threads about this subject, so, to help others noobs like me, some notes:
1) root your phone
2) download ES File Explorer on market. it's a free (and very good) alternative to Root Explorer
3) its a good idea to turn off wifi now. better, set airplane mode.
4) in the configs of ES File Explorer, if your phone is rooted, there is an option to mount the /system directory with permissions to write/read and another option to see hidden files. check them on.
5) now, you should navigate to /system/bin/wpa_supplicant and save a copy of this file in a secure location.
6) back to system/bin/wpa_supplicant, press long and in its properties, you can change the permissions of the file to rwx-rwx-rwx
7) now you can copy the wpa_supplicant you found in this forum, to that location, and override the original (dont worry, if you have a backup, its reversible)
8) again, check the permissions of the new wpa_supplicant. it must be rwx-rwx-rwx too. (it's a program, the "x" is needed to execute)
9) that all. it now should work. ad-hoc networks are marked with a (*)... in my case, worked perfectly. My phone is a LG P500 android 2.3.3 original rom.
10) in case of any errors, just try another version of wpa_supplicant, there are some versions here. or, just restore your original wpa_supplicant. remember the permissions.
11) if you have the android sdk in your pc, you can run adb shell wpa_supplicant -v and find out your version... v5 or v6 ... in this forum there are modified wpa_supplicant in versions 5 and 6 ... use the correct according to your rom...

[Q] FileMate Clear 7" T720 tablet

Does anyone know if Z4Root will work on this tablet? Thanks!
I've been looking for one for 3 days now, I tryed onclickroot and z4root or something like that,, cant find anything Anyone please help!!
I'm still waiting for my tablet to be delivered...I'm gonna try SuperOneClick (crosses fingers)
I got one of these for my daughter for xmas. I spent a few days trying to root it with no luck. I'm not intimately familiar with android (some unix experience), but I tried all the options I could find for rooting Allwinner a10 devices. At first I ran into problems with adb unable to recognize the device for most one-click methods. I downloaded the android tools and was able to connect with the included adb. After studying the scripts, they all use the "adb root" command to gain root access on the device and copy the necessary files. Unfortunately, this command fails using adb from the tools. At first I thought this was due to my adb version, but after doing some research I think it is actually due to the device kernel. I believe it requires reflashing or some exploit to be able to gain root. I was able to install root explorer and I can browse all the necessary directories but I can't modify or copy the necessary files into them. Busybox told me there was an older version installed, but wouldn't let me install a newer version (again I think due to the permissions). Also, superuser would say it installed but the su binary did not show up on the bin directory. As the necessary directories are all owned by root, I couldn't figure out a way to modify the permissions...
I wound up returning the FileMate and got a Lenovo IdeaTab. Got that rooted in no time.
sorry i never saw this post i've bought 2 of these and i rooted them,
i wish i could get a better build for them though, too many app crashes and the internet connectivity sucks
i used a method by Bin4ry called root with restore, v17 worked any ways i have the zip if you would like it

FileMate Clear T720
Thank you very much for being the only person ever to have posted in regards to this tablet. I just got mine for christmas and have been trying to get it rooted. I've tried a lot of those one-click methods, and I've even tried this Bin4ary method. but it just hangs up on "daemon started sucessfully*"
Can you please direct me to the filemate drivers (if needed)
also, I have usb debugging endable, allowing 3rd party (not secure) files enabled. and pulling my hair out (enabled).
Thanks again.
Also, I'm running windows 7 and 8, (((maybe i should try win7))) hmm. i'll get back to you on that. Anyhow, any advice would be greatly appreciated, since returning it doesn't sound very fun.

I laughed so hard. ok your going to have to install drivers by force,
first off do you happen to have android sdk installed? if you don't there is another way but its going to sound weird,
if you do have the android SDK installed:
1. go to your computer manager (by opening explorer, right click on the "computer" group on the left column and select manager)
2. look for any unrecognized item that appears, ( it will most likely be labeled "Clear" with a faded icon and a "?" sign on top
3. right click and choose "Update drivers", it will give you options, choose "Browse my computer for driver software", another option screen will show,
4. at the bottom of the window there will be an option that says "let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
5. on the screen that appears there should be an option that says "ADB Interface", choose this
6. choose "Google, Inc.">"ADB Testing Interface version x.x.x.x" (I chose version 2.1.0.0)
that should do it next time you plug in the tablet try running ddms or open the cmd and type in "adb devices" (assuming you have adb installed) and it should show.
if this helps just hit the thanks button
[edit] I am running windows 8 btw [/edit]
ADB interface doesn't show up
Thank you very much for getting me farther, however I dont see ADB interface. I'm looking into it right now. I just re-installed the sdk drivers and will keep at it.
BTW, is it even worth doing this? the main reason I want to do it, is so i can connect my ps3 remote via bluetooth, and possibly a little overclocking. Have you had any luck OC it?
Thanks again Much appreciated:good:

open up SDK manager and go to Extras>"Google USB Drivers"
also install everything in the "Android 4.0 (API 14)" section, I have other options installed if this still doesn't work.
its worth it just for the extra stuff that root comes with like titanium backup, but you cant over clock, if you go any higher than 1200 MHz it will lock up and you have to force it to reset.

HERE is the link to root as provided earlier
Click Here to download ADB universal drivers. they should work better than the google USB drivers.

Rooted With Kingo
I just bought one of these cheap to play with and used Kingo to root it. Worked first time, no problem. The only issue I am having is that the SuperSu binaries are failing to update but root is still working. Titanium is working and Root Explorer so I can debloat. Hope that helps is anyone is still trying to use these

please tell me where in the world you got the Kingo root?
As far as being unable to update binaries, try to find a custom recovery and install. From there, you can inject them via su-binary update.zip and bam!

That is the link for the Kingo site. The first time I saw it on here there was some question about whether it was safe becase it is not open source and used a Chinese SuperSu app. I felt safe using it on a tablet because I do no banking on it or anything, but the newest posts I have seen are that Kingo is safe. Hope that helps. And if you know where to find a custom recovery that will work with this app please let me know.

[Q] [A700] Ad hoc wifi support? (aka IBSS, adhoc)

I have tried a few custom ICS and JB ROMs for the A700. I could not get it to connect to my ad-hoc wifi network.
Q1: Is there a ROM out there that supports ad-hoc wifi, for the A700?
Q2: If not, is anyone working on it, preferably for JB?!
I really need this feature, or I'll have to replace the tablet.. :crying:
Maybe you can try it with this little piece of software, but make a backup before trying, it doesnt work on every device!
I tried it with my SGS+ years ago and had no problems at all, others had...
For example it could happen that the wifi isnt working properly anymore (as the developer wrote on his description only a hard reset will help in this case or a backup).
Make a backup, give it a try and then you can revert everything if it doesnt work out for you

Probably just need to change wpa.supplicant files for one that enables adhoc. At least on older HC and ICS. JB should probably be the same. Here's a link to a wpa.supplicant file that maybe will work, along with instructions. (always keep a backup of your current supplicant file. You can do all necessary things using ES File Explorer. For this method you need root;

Thanks for the tip. I found a list of phones/tabs that Wifi Ad Hoc enabler reported working, there was no A500 and A700. There was A100 with ICS that worked, and A200 with JB that did NOT work. I read up on it, and it sounded like it replaces the wpa.supplicant file. I have tried about 4 different wpa.supplicant files that I could find on the web; none of them worked. I have decided to switch to a different tablet. Thanks again for your help!

Thanks for the tip on wpa.supplicant. I have tried a bunch of them, about 4 or 5. None of them worked. (See my previous post also.)
Regarding FoxFi app through the link you have mentioned, it's now part of PdaNet. According to their web description, it turns a tablet into a hotspot, not what I was talking about--connecting tablet to an ad-hoc network.

Try that second supplicant file. Make sure you set the permissions on it after you copy, then reboot the tab. Wipe cache and dalvik also.
If I get some time, I might check it out. Might be able to merge the changes into our own supplicant file.

Hi, I have the same problem with my a500 cm10 v6supercharge, no way to get enable ad hoc connection?!
Please could some body update the wpa supplicant file?
Thank's
