Is wpa_supplicant related to the phone or to the OS ? - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
I am a NOOOB who read and saw the first video,
I have first used search function to find what I am looking for before posting
My question is :
I have overwritten my original wpa_supplicant by a new one that doens't work,
and YES I didn't backup before !
Since I want to retrieve the original one,
Do I Google such a file specific to my OS version : 2.3.4 ???
or to my phone : Xperia Play R800i ???
Thank you

Hello,
I finally figured out how to get around my wifi problem by myself :
Flashtool + new firmware + Root + New ROM
Everything works great now !
My question still stands though:
Does system files relate to the OS or to the Phone model ?
(just by curiosity)
Thank you

That is what i am also very intersted in as i need to find a WORKING wpa_supplicant to connect my Coby Kyros MID1125 (JB 4.1.1) to adhoc networks.

[Q] Connect WildFire to AdHoc - can't find file : tiwlan.ini

Hello,
First I'd like to tell that i'm a newbie with Android's Phone, I had Windows Phone until now. I have some light Linux knowledges. So be gentle and easy with Android and Linux technical terms
So, here is my problem : I tried to connect to an Ad Hoc Wifi Network but it doesn't work. It seems to be a known issue for a long time in android community and some solutions exists.
One of these solutions I found is to edit the file : /system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini
and modify :
Code:
WiFiAdhoc = 1
dot11DesiredSSID = HTCG1Default
dot11DesiredBSSType = 0
So, I rooted my Phone (with SoftRoot), I used ADB, but the file tiwlan.ini don't seems to be present on my device in the folder it should be.
My questions are : Is it normal for Wildfire that this file is not here? Is the location of the file different on Wildfire ? Is there another solution for Wildfire to connect AdHoc Wlan?
Here are some informations on my device :
HTC Wildfire A3333
Firmware version : 2.1 update1
Baseband version : 13.45.55.24H_3.35.15.31
kernel version : 2.6.29-4266b2e1
htc-kernel and18-2 #1 (May 19 2010)
Build Number : 1.14.163.1 CL183733
Soft Number : 1.14.163.1
Browser version : WebKit 3.1
Thanks for interest you will give to my request.
The same happens to me.
Would appreciate a solution.
Thank You
I'm trying to do the same and I don't have this file. Anyone with a Wildfire succeded to connect to an ad hoc connection?
I don't really understand why Android shouldn't be able to connect to ad hoc connection. Are the developers dumb or what?

You will have to re-add "ap_scan=2" every now and then, Android stubbornly removes it.
Code:
echo "ap_scan=2" >> /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
works fine for that purpose.

I've got a tablet branded "Goclever" (T70) with Android 2.2. Rooted it successfully. Tried to make it working in ad-hoc mode but there is no tiwlan.ini on my system (searched it throughout). Tried the method mentioned in the post above, but but no success.
Any ideas, pls ?
Piotr
Wildfire doesn't use tiwlan.ini. Only devices having a TI wifi chip uses it, and Wildfire has a BCM chip.
My device (Goclever T70) does not seem to use tiwlan.ini either.
What to do than? What changes to which config files should be applied in order to make adhoc wifi work?

[Q] [RQST] Rooting in R800i 2.3.4 Xperia Play

Hello Guys,
I´m a newbie on this particular forum and after a huge research I found a lot of information but nothing related to this.
My phone is an xperia play R800i [unfortunately running only in 2G mode due that the ICE operator in Costa Rica only runs at 850MHz 3G ]
I´m not a Linux savy person and yesterday one of my peers helped me yesterday while we were at work in doing several things.
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.ORIGINAL Setup-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
R800i with:
Android Version: 2.3.3
Kernel: 2.6.32.9-perf
build number: 4.0.A.2.368
BASEBANd: 8x55A-AAABQMAZM-20302204-36
Locked bootloader and phone was SIM unlocked (it was from Swisscom)
No Root on this.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.--
Steps my peer did:
- Unlocked the bootloader. (he did it in a matter of seconds)
- installed the R800I world version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1043630
--- The following happened:
- Constant messages that Android Crashed.
- No SIM being recognized / no signal from SIM chips.
----Troubleshoot: I did a phone restore and that fixed the Android issues, although the camera crashed constantly and no storage card was recognized.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
2nd test:
My peer then downloaded a new firmware which is the following:
4.01.A.0.283 (please see captures) and is super stable although I lost root access.. never used the feature and I seriously want to remove games such as Sim, etc...
Battery life is awesome and Xloud, Cam, everything works like a charm!.
Is there a possibility that someone points me out to a video tutorial in order to root this great device R800i and have super user access?.
I love the firmware but if someone is kindly enough to have a video for this version it would be most than useful
google; how to root 2.3.4 xperia
Check my sig
Thank you folks, although I was looking for a video tutorial since I Landed via google in your threads... Just wanted some more graphic guide

OMG!!! Buddy thank you!!!!!!
Thanks!!
Guys, what a great forum!.
I was able to root with "DooMLoRD_v1_ROOT-zergRush-busybox"
I´m so glad about this app, I have removed the the Sims3 and Fifa 10 hehe..
Now, what can I do next? I have 2 questions... (although just I´ll be digging more the internet..) and I even installed the Titanium Backup ;-)
1. How can I remove all the "ads" after I install something?.
2. Is there a way to download using "torre..ts" and install the APK´s for games without having the "warning" message that reports that my app is not authorized by gameloft hehe.. ?
3. Any Themes for xperia play (although I´ll search on this one)
Thank you again pals!!!! most appreciated!,

1. AdFree https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bigtincan.android.adfree&hl=sv
2. No idea. And I don't support piracy so I won't help you there. These things are cheap anyway.
3. Not much. There are a few in the themes forum that can be flashed. If you want different themes I suggest using another launcher.
Hello Folks,
Looking for some guidance... is there a new version of Firmware that I didn´t knew?. My Mobile is offering me the OTA update 4.0.2.A.0.42... however as I´m with root + BL unlocked obviously is not letting me to update.
What should I do?. My phone is showing the 4.0.1.A.0.283 running 2.3.4.

M99 Google 4s

So I recently bought the m99 from fastcardtech, and rooted it easily with SuperOneClick. I am unable however to install ClockworkMod in any way or form on the device. It identifies itself as a G2x in the model, uses a MTK 6573 processor.
Anyone else have this phone and figure out a way, I'm completely lost and have search for a good week now trying to figure out a way to get ClockWorkMod on this thing.
(also I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to post this in, since there is no forum for my phone model).
Hi There ,

Hello
You have the M99 with Ui iphone?
Did you have the room original? Was nice we get this room available, before try the OC and new rooms.
Any bugs find yet?
Thanks
help me too.. is this a bug?
Did you have the market worked on your phone?
My version is 2.3.6 from android, but the markets i install open, then when i try to download some app they market (process com.vending.android) has stopped unexpectedly
You have this problem to?
Guys ..
To root this phone you have 2 options :
1- SuperOneClick 2.3.3
2- The Chinese root
both are listed at a thread called (Gooapple v5 issues) on this fourm . you also need to install the the drivers for this phone which btw are the same drivers for the GooApple v5 , cuz both phones use the MTK6573 .
for the market problem .. try to install an older market ver.
now I have the phone , but unfortunately things went south couple days ago when i installed some fonts from the android market and forgot to change the permissions . the phone now is stuck at start up logo ,, i tried the wipe and restore to factory options but nothing worked .. the only way i can get it to work is to flash it with the original rom again .i've contacted Fastcardtech to get the update.zip rom for the M99 Google 4s+ , but i haven't heard from them .
so if you have the update.zip rom for M99 Google 4s+ please post a link so i can download it ..
Thanks
Thanks for reply!
Wich market version you use?
Your M99 was from fastcardtech? android 2.3.6?
Well i can help you but im noob in android, how can i get this zip file, or maybe make a "image" of this rom phone like they came to send to you (if this is possible)

yes i got it from fastcardtech and it has the 2.3.6 with UI rom .
i'll keep looking and i will let you know .
Thanks

Hi guys, I am from the thread "Gooapple v5 issues" I could maybe help you as it is almost the same device.
@IIIVIII What happened to your phone?
Great News ..
i finally gained access to my phone's root while looping through Android Commander and i've managed to reset the permissions to the fonts and now the phone is alive and kicking
@ von275 & Mouratti .. Thank you guys for offering to help i really appreciate it .
here's how to get any Androidmarket ver working on the M99 :
1- root your phone.
2- install root explorer (attached)
3- copy the attached file (Vending) to your phone's root (system/app) and make sure u set the permissions as follows:
Owner: Read /Write
Group: Read
Others: Read
To make Google sync work for contacts do the same as the above steps for these attached files :
1-GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter
2-GoogleContactsSyncAdapter
btw. with root explorer you can remove all the unwanted chinese apps like youku etc. from your root (system/app) just don't go wild ..
i'll be coming back later on with more tweaks ..

I speak with fastcrdtech, and they say: We don't have rom
So you have the rom that came with your phone right?
I get the calendar working, but i can't get a sound reminder you can get on your m99?
Thanks for the help

Did you guys tried the gooapple v5/goophone roms on your phones? It should work because it is the same hardware.
Download for roms: www.anexonel.tk in the download section.

I didn't try, im noob in this, and im afraid stuck my device.
Which room is it?
@von275
the stock recovery on the M99 only allows the official M99 update.zip rom to be installed .. it won't allow the gooapple nor any other rom to be installed trust me i've tried .. besides the M99 has 2 sims and a different screen so i really doubt that it would work even if we try it with a recovery that allows custom roms ...
@Mouratti
i don't have the official rom yet we should all e-mail Fastcardtech and ask them to provide the official rom for us to download .. sooner or later somthing will go wrong with our android sys and we will need to flash the official rom again .
regarding the calender .. i will look into it when i get home hopefully there's a simple fix for it .

[Q] Change Device Name after root

Hey
I've managed to root and upgrade my device to 4.1.2, and keep the signal (network discovery)
now, since I live in Japan my phone's model is Acro HD SO-03D (and not Acro S LT26w/i).
After rooting and flashing (excluding the baseband)... my phone details says its LT26w, I didn't mind much but it kinda restricts me from using various applications, I wanted to use HULU (Japan) and I've got a proper account but it says it can't play the videos on this device. (works fine on the PC)
I've check the site and Acro HD is on the list of playable/supported devices.
I think that because HULU doesn't recognizes the new device name, it doesn't play anything.
Is there a way to change it ? just the name of the device.
I've tried this:
http://www.droidiser.com/2012/11/change-device-name-android-version.html
but it didn't work. it just changes the name in the ABOUT PHONE section.
Thanks in advance :angel:
EDIT:
I found this but it didn't help me much
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2226181&highlight=device+name
I don't want to just see the name in the ABOUT page, I actually want to fool applications into thinking I have SO-03D.
Can I just make HULU ignore the phone type and play it anyways ?
EDIT:
Here's the reply I got:
Thanks for your prompt reply. I have confirmed that the latest Android version for Japanese Docomo Xperia acro HD SO-03D is (Android 4.0. / Build number: 6.1.F.0.128). And build 6.2.B.0.211 does not seem to be supported here in Japan. If you have made any changes personally like rooting, this won't be supported for viewing.
I am sorry for the inconvinience but please let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with this issue.
How can I fool the application into thinking I've got a downgraded version ?
beside changin' the stats in the ABOUT DEVICE page...

[Q] Alps H900 (Google says...)

Hi all!
I bought a china clone mobile phone.
It has body of s4 and camera of s5.
Specific device model is Step Fly (sf-) H900f , but google knows it as: Alps H900
Os Android 4.4.2, MTK6592, baseband: MOLY.WR8.W1315.MD.WG.MP.V35.P6, build: ALPS.KK1.MP1.V2.11
Well, my questions are:
- have yet anyone rooted il?
- and installed a custom rom instead of default one?
- can anyone publish/send me some helping links?
I've base Rom in chinese; an english one, downloaded from it's site, for changing the chinese one, but no instructions on how load it; so I found many post on how modify it, but with chinese I'm a little bit unsufficient...
I hope You can help me.
Thanks anyway!
Cheers...
