[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..

Google it my friend.

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
Simple!

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...

You find the answer with google. It works for me

[HOWTO] Root/Fix wifi Avail Z990 No ABD

It's actually super-super easy to root.
You have to make sure you:
Have access to the sdcard, either through ADB or a adapter to your computer.
If phone is locked, use an AT&T sim. If unlocked, and using another carriers sim, must have APN info
Have data working on the phone, either wifi or from the carrier. You also must have a Google account to download/install 2 programs from Play Store
Now, I use T-Mobile, and my data speed here is GPRS..Yep, not even dialup speeds. During the unlock process I was following, my wifi mac address got screwy (If, when trying to enable wifi, it keeps shutting off, you may have same issue)
But, I'll also show how to fix that, too.
The following HOWTO does NOT require ADB, but it can make life easier for you. I always enable it at first boot.
The sections in Green are for everybody
The sections in Blue are if, like me, you have no wifi
** This WILL work for the AT&T Avail ZTE-Z990 (MIGHT work for the Z990g Merit. I don't have one, so proceed at your own risk ). It may work on your phone. It may not.
** If you follow this, and you 'brick your phone', start World War III, or your hair falls out, IT'S YOUR PROBLEM, NOT MINE.
Hit the dialer on your phone. Dial *983*7668# (DO NOT PRESS THE GREEN SEND BUTTON)
After the little text saying something about root, go to the Google Play Store, and search for "Superuser". The first on the list you want to install
After Superuser installs, start it, and go to the FAR LEFT, and find where it says "Tap here" for updating. Let it update. If it doesn't, reboot the phone, try again
If you get an error about the * code, you may have a newer update from your carrier installed. Google search for "TCard z990", and reflash for the older rom. The *code will work then.
You got root, Really, It's THAT easy
Now for 'goofy wifi'
After Superuser is up and running, get "Absolute System Root Tools" from the Play Store, and install it.
When you run the program, it should have a dialog from Superuser to allow access. If not, reboot, try again
At the top of ASRT, tap "File Browser", navigate to "/system/etc"
Find the file 'nv_4319.txt', and tap it.
Scroll down to two lines that have "macaddr" in them. One has a '#' infront of it. Swap the '#' from the front of that line to the front of the other 'macaddr'
Press Menu button, and save. Back out of ASRT, and go to the wifi settings. Turn your wifi off, then back on. You should be able to connect to wifi now.
That's about it.
Now if we can just get some headway with a Cyanogen ROM for this thing....

i just rooted and then modified the nv_4319.txt file. i did install superuser but i dont think is needed, no permission was asked. instead of ASRT, any root file explorer with built-in text editor will work. i used root explorer.

Better install SuperUser
Why? Because, if you don't, EVERYTHING has su access ALL THE TIME. The Superuser app limits this.

nv-4319 edited but still nothing
i tried your method and edited the file successfully but my wifi still stays white and when i attempt to turn it on it simply flashes and returns to the same error message. i rooted my device successfully several months ago and wifi worked fine until i used the trev e mod tethering app which worked well once, however neither wifi or tethering have worked since. any other suggestions are welcome, and thanks in advance.

[Q] How do I activate WiFi Tether? Already looked at the other threads.

Hey fellow One Sv users! Sorry for the trouble, but this is annoying me. I have the One Sv (obviously), K2_CL Boost Mobile. I have rooted, i have jelly bean 4.1.2, and Sense 4. i haven't flashed any custom rom on my device. i also have S-OFF. I downloaded "Trev-e's wifi tether for root users", and looked at numerous threads in this forum to try and get it to work. i have backed up and uninstalled TetheringGuard with Titanium Backup. yet no matter what device profile i use, the access point is not seen by laptop or other devices, or it is seen and does not connect, although the Upload and Download speeds increase on the app. So, can someone please attempt to help me figure this out if you have the time? it would be much appreciated. I follow threads on XDA religiously, and have seen the work of @Modding.MyMind and @russellvone . I realize you guys must be tremendously busy trying to get Sense 5 and 4.2.2 to work on our wonderful device, but as soon as you get the time, i would love for anyone to try and get this to work for me. I can test, in return if needed. thank you.

Using a file manager like es file explorer or something similar go to /system/build.prop and copy it to either your internal or external sd card. (you can do it on your pc using notepad++ if you like). Now open it up and look for what is highlighted in green provided in the picture. On yours they will say 0. Change them to 1 like you see in the picture. Once done go to my next post for more instructions...
Sent from my K2_CL using Tapatalk

Now look in the build.prop file what is highlighted in green in this next provided picture. Yours will say true. Change it to false like the picture shows. Once done, go to my next post for further instructions...
Sent from my K2_CL using Tapatalk

Now scroll to the bottom of your build.prop file. Given the picture I provided highlighted in green, add that in to your build.prop file. In the picture you will notice there is an extra line that is blank. Make sure yours has that also. Once complete go to my next post for further instructions....
Sent from my K2_CL using Tapatalk

Once you have completed the above steps go ahead and save the file. Now before proceeding make a backup of your original build.prop file for safe keepings. Now cut the modded build.prop file over to /system/ and allow it to overwrite the original build.prop file (you will need write permissions for the /system to do this or you will be denied). Once it has been overwritten make sure you set the permissions to the modded build.prop file to rw-r-r as seen provided in the picture. Once you have set your permissions go ahead and reboot your device.

Once your device has rebooted go to settings >> more >> mobile network sharing
Profit!

Oh, I also forgot to mention... If you go to /system/apps there is a system app called tetherguard.apk and .odex.
Rename those by adding an extension.
tetherguard.apk.pka
tetherguard.odex.dexo
You will need to reboot after you do this. Otherwise, your tethering will kick in and out periodically.

i apologise for the inconvenience. @Modding.MyMind . But i have edited the build.prop exactly as you have said, and when i go to use the built it wifi hotspot app from Settings, i try to connect my laptop to the access point and it continously tries to get an internet connection until it eventually fails. i have tried this with both no security and WEP, WPA(TKIP), and WPA2(AES), with no luck. Anything else you suggest, o mighty one? (I mean that with the utmost respect, not sarcasm lol)

Thank you @russellvone , but when using those settings, my computer doesnt see the hotspot at all, even though the upload and download speeds on the app increase. I don't know what the deal is.

I'm sure you'll just have to type the ssid in manually on your laptop,
then enter password(if you choose one)

[GUIDE] HOW TO Enable Wi-Fi Tether on stock Kit Kat 4.4.2

I took the update because I boot looped my phone trying to upgrade to a rooted stock version of Kit Kat.
After going to stock I lost root and of course custom recovery. As many have noticed, there is no viable tether app that works with Kit Kat on this device. In doing a search it appears that this is the case with many devices that have gotten Kit Kat.
So I did a search and through several different threads I believe I have found the workaround.
I am new to doing "How-To's" so please forgive me if this is not as professional as others. I am not a developer but have some knowledge of working with various facets of Android. So, here goes:
1. Go to settings--> Tethering and networks ---> Mobile networks --> Access point names
2. Under Access point names, you should have T-Mobile LTE
3. Click menu ---> New APN
4. Name --> Whatever you want
5. APN ---> should say "Not Set" change to "Fast.T-Mobile.com"
6. APN Type--> type "default,supl,mms,dun"
7. APN Protocol --> Be sure it says "IPv4"
8. Menu--> Click save
9. Change APN to the newly created Access Point
10. Download : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.foxfi
11. Download the PC app (if needed)
12. (Optional) Download: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.foxfi.key
Follow instructions on setting up FoxFi which I will not cover here.
I am using this now to type this thread. It is a little buggy but I think that is FoxFi not necessarily this method of tether. I have to at times disable/re-enable the PC app if I lose connection.
I hope this helps folks out there.

What is the problem with the mobile hotspot that comes with stock kitkat? D801 tmo.

Nothing wrong, works perfectly fine. This is an alternative means through a different app providing a means to tether without utilizing a set amount of data provided by carrier.

Yes, speeds are comparable. Only issue, and I believe this is with PDANet/FoxFi is you at times have to reset the connection on the computer. I am running Windows 7 BTW

Wait, is it not easier way to do this:
(if you have root)
1. download SQlite editor app from G.Play (pay for it few bucks)
2. search for com.android.providers.settings and open it
3. open "settings.db" then "global" and under "tether_dun_required" change 1 to 0,
save and turn on tethering without any limits.... Just after reboot you need to set 1 to 0 again to make it work...
I saw it somewhere around and that worked for me!
(Didn't have to change or create new APN.
(This is possible solution for NON-T-mobile users of D801 model, because I'm one..)

That is if you have root. As stated in the OP this is a workaround for those that have lost root via 4.4.2.

This solution IS for system tethering.
If you have rooted device, system tethering works like a charm with this.
Also, this works even if you are not T-mobile user, meaning, you SIM unlock device and you can tether with any SIM on any network in the world...
I guess those guys who updated OTA to 4.4.2 will have to wait root for D801. I saw there is a way to flash KitKat in recovery and immediately superuser.zip after that...
I'll personally go for that way.

Doesn't seem to work for me. Tried using my tablet connected to foxfi hotspot and got the usual T-Mobile error notice that hotspot isn't enabled when I opened the browser.

You can also setup a vpn to connect to and it won't redirect you to the upsell page if you get that issue

If this works, you have fixed the only issue that would desire me to install a custom rom
Edit: seems to be working so far, spent half an hour on the tablet and the tmobile app shows no increase in the hotspot data usage

Ok. Let me try and clarify. The step by step in the OP can be used on any ROM but is specifically useful for those like me that took the update to 4.4.2 and lost root.
When using FoxFi app it is recommended that you use USB tether mode. Also you need to hide your activity but I'm not going to cover that. I Will leave that to others.

Then one thing is left to be clarified:
Do I need to use that T-mobile APN? Because that won't work for me or every other user that haven't T-mobile SIM card, obviously...
So, do you think that is safe to assume that method from OP will work for me if I use my regular APN?

I can't speak to other carriers directly. But, the simplest way to tell; if you use the app and it does not "trip" your carrier hotspot app then you should be good.

Neither of these methods worked for me. FoxFi kept telling me that I didn't have an internet connection and editing my com.android.providers.settings database kept reverting to "1" after a reboot. After the latter method, I temporarily lost the functionality of my home button and root went away. I thought I was going to have to flash back to 4.2.2 for second. Thankfully after a few reboots and a restored file all was good.
Edit: OK, I finally got FoxFi working. I guess I didn't read the directions completely. But this didn't stop my tethering data usage from going up.

Make sure you have the settings in FoxFi set to hide internet usage. If you need my settings for that, let me know.

I have actually tried both methods and get them to work.
Now, I'm on 4.4.2 stock, I didn't took the OTA update - instead I've flashed that 1.4GB KK update trough TWRP, and then superuser.zip. It wasn't easy, especially because I didn't have TWRP installed at all and OTA was downloaded (kinda without my permission, in background, and then I got that notification....)
So, now, I'm on KK stock, rooted, but I'm not sure if I got recovery... and guess what, I don't care...
Both tethering methods work for me, bud since is easier I use system tether.
What I'm trying to say is: Don't take OTA guys if you have root, flash trough recovery your KK and you will keep root, you can tether, you keep your data and apps... It isn't the easiest way but it is the one with most satisfying result..

OK, read between the lines a bit and got took the steps I believe you're referring to. However, still no luck with tethering data. Would you mind sharing your settings for FoxFi?

On your desktop, click on the PDANet icon in the task tray. Click settings, Hide Tether usage, Level 1
That's it. Should work. Again, you may have to disconnect/reconnect from time to time via the tray icon.

It was stated that this will revert after a restart.... Simple either don't restart or adjust the value after you restart

So just to verify. For rooted folks the sqlite method works? I can't get my connected device to access the net but I am also in a T-Mobile black hole for the next two weeks with only edge when I am lucky

[Q] How to enable Hotspot in LG G2 D80030F

I just updated my LG G2 to lollipop 5.0.2 and rooted it. Now again my hotspot is not enabling. Earlier I did it using SQlite editor method.
Now what to do...???
Note: Solved this Issue already.
Use This Method+My method.
Settings.db will not open in SQLITE EDITOR directly so move the file from root to sdcard and then edit as per guide. Then again place in the same place and restarted instantly. And Done...
Steps:
>Exact File Location is "\data\data\com.android.prodivers.settings\database\settings.db"
>Cut and paste the file it in anywhere in "\SDCARD" using ES File Explorer after enabling root access from tools in ES.
>Edit using SQLite Editer at new location
>Again Place the file back to it's exact location.
>Restart
Use LG One Click Root for Rooting Lollipop.

You enable it in settings, but the method you're referring to doesn't function on LG based ROMs. It won't even stick on Cloudy or Optimus ROMs. Use a vanilla ROM like Vanir, AICP, etc..not LG.

I have d800 and have updated to lollipop and with sql editor and cannot access or edit the databases necessary to change the tethering settings to enable them.

This sqlite method is actually to stop the phone from reporting the correct amount of data used over tether, it sort of fakes the usage as coming from the phone.

Im not sure what happened followed those instructions to the tee and now it will not boot past the att logo.....

Never mind.Problem solved.

you are right had to do a factory reset I didn't too much just went by that option, just try something else if you don't want to loose your data!

Just worked it out instead of "moving" do a ""copy"" to sdcard and then overwrite it back to com.android.prodivers.settings! It worked! I knew that cut and paste would bring some kind of problem!. Remember before doing all this, first you gotta hit the "mobile hotspot" unless the value "tether_entitlement_check_state" won't appear in sqlite_editor just a little reminder couse it happened to me!

I did end up reflashing back to 20c, set everything in the database's for tethering and some other stuff i wanted. Did the ota update all the way to Lollipop and all the settings in the database stayed. My tethering works in lollipop without having to do anymore editing. the original changes stayed. So this could be another workaround possibly or i just got lucky....

I would say Just got lucky couse I was in 20c rooted and couldn't get the update, had to go back to stock and then install, is have to do that every single time when I want a new update! At&t is one of those strict carriers!
