Hello,
Those with root will need to take the following steps to get ad-hoc wifi tether mode working:
Obtain fw_bcm4329_ap.bin from an EVO dump (located in /etc/firmware)
Put in following location:/sdcard/android.tether/fw_bcm4329.bin
Enjoy! (hopefully)
After this install android-wifi-tether, latest from the dev site.
Can someone verify these steps work? I don't have an incred on me but the program should behave this way and load from sdcard.
Some people in the evo 4g forums have reported doing this:
adb shell
mkdir /sdcard/android.tether
cat /system/etc/firmware/fw_bcm4329_ap.bin > /sdcard/android.tether/fw_bcm4329.bin

Yes it works on the DI. I had no problems setting up and using the Wifi tethering.
pushed fw_bcm4329.bin to /sdcard/android.tether using adb
installed wireless_tether_2_0_2-pre14.apk, using adb.
Runs fine, laptop connected and accesses the net without any trouble.

Great find, it amazes me when things like this work so easily =p.
Works great!
Thanks for the files/instructions
great job guys, works great
Works great!
Great job! I am now tethering an ipad...
Awesome! Pretty much the only reason I NEED root.
Just so I understand this correct. I already have ROOT. Do i need to basically start over and get into ADB recovery, re-push the payload, re-root, and then upload the file from within the recovery?
edit- got it working. Nevermind
Thanks Seth - worked like a charm here. Man, I missed root.
Thanks it worked for me
Hey there,
Since Android isnt compatible with Adhoc, I was searching for a way to Make it work.
My NExus one, was up and running with Adhoc! (And Flying my Ardrone!) So..
I found a way to make it work!
Follow the following instructions and Enjoy!!
The way I installed is :
- RootExplorer (requires rooted device)
- Go to /system/bin/
- Tap R/W at the top so it becomes R/O
- rename existing wpa_supplicant in /system/bin/ to wpa_supplicant.old
- paste new wpa_supplicant
- start and restart wifi
If you prefer to use adb, this command should do it :
adb push wpa_supplicant /system/bin/
Download the 'wpa_supplicant' file from this Threat!

Adhoc means connect to your computer in peer to peer mode. Use your computer / laptop as the bridge to access internet.
Thank u!

Ad Hoc sucks, if you just want to surf use a VIRTUAL ROUTER
SOLUTION:
___________________________________________________________________
Try freeware software Virtual Router,
or if you want to do it old school via command prompt in Win 7 try see this link:

More wpa_supplicant files
Hey there,
Ive tried 3 types of the wpa_supplicant files.
The one I linked is the One which worked for me, but its possible that another one is working for you!
You can all find them on the XDAforum.
Good luck!

Hello ,,
I am having LG optimus 2x mobile, i want to connect my mobile to ad-hoc n/w of my pc.
I have replace that " wpa_supplicant " file. but nw my wifi nt able to start.it giving error. and can u tell me solution for this.
and other 1 what is that push adb and how to do that....???
plz help me
Thanks
parag
Wow! It would be AWESOME if someone would try this out on the LG Optimus One P500.
this error is because of the permissions... check the permissions of wpa_supplicant. it's a program, beside permission to read and write, its necessary permission to execute... use 777, that is, rwx-rwx-rwx

Can someone edit wpa_supplicant for ParanoidAndroid v2.6 ?
many thanks
sorry for my english.
hi guys, so as the title states, i'm new to the droid scene and i have a streak 7. i have been reading for a few days now and want to root my streak. i am unsure about how to do this, i have seen gingerbreak and superoneclick. based on the fact that i dont know crap, which would you guys recommend? i have some other issues that concern me. maybe some of those fixed would be a good start?
issues:
1. i cant seem to connect my streak to my pc, running windows vista
2. i have no idea what all these acronyms mean?
3. i dont know what ROM to use, hell i dont know what a good ROM is
4. i cant connect my streak and my iphone via wifi
maybe some one can pint me to a basic, newb users guide would be good also. if some one is willing to help me, i'd appreciate it! sorry if this is the wrong spot
hello and welcome
1) did you install the dell drivers?
2) which acronyms are you referring to?
3) rom flavor depends on your needs... streakdroid is awesome but has bluetooth issues...on the flip side......is is overclockable. Im using custom 2.2 ...I need bluetooth sadly and can't sacrifice it for an overclockable kernel.
4)you need to modify the wpa supplicant file in order to tether via adhoc ( device to device )
Steps on how are in the forum.im typing via my ds7 ....otherwise id look it up for you. Its easy to find though.
Hope that helps!!!

Thanks for your reply. Here is what I found:
1. The drivers I found won't work with vista but I was directed to another method I hope works
2. All the "apk, rom, wpa" stuff like that. I mean I figured out a rom is what you use as a front end of sorts
3. I don't need overclocking, don't need speed at all as it's just going in my truck as an audio source, gps, video player, Internet thing.
4. I'll use your post to search this method out. Might need some help. I'm assuming I need to have the devise rooted first?
On a rooting note, what's the best, easiest method for a newb such as myself? I am on 2.2.2 and it's a t-mobile streak 7.
Again thanks for your help.
With 2.2.2 use gingerbreak. Its one button and your rooted.

Does it require connecting to a pc? Or can I download gingerbreak and install it on an sd card? Better yet do you know of a link to a tutorial or thread? I'm on my phone now and won't be around a computer till late Sunday.

As far as installing a ROM, any other ideas, advice, links? I like to read as much as possible to be well informed before I do anything.

Thank you. Seems as I'll be home later tonight so I'll be able to try and at least root the streak tonight. I hope it goes well.
ok so i rooted my streak 7 tonight. wasnt so bad i used gingerbreak.
now i need to modify the supplicant file in order to tether my iphone to my streak via wifi. i found all the info and the files, but i dont know how to "flash the zip in recovery" i read through some 16 pages and still cant figure it out. can any one point me to a step by step on how to apply the patch? or just write it out step by step? i am getting the hang of this stuff but i dont know enough and dont want to mess up my streak and not be able to use it all via wifi.
thank you again guys, you are a big help to a newb
ok i think i figured out how to do it:
1: changed zip file name to update.zip
2. moved to sd card
3. opened up clockwork recovery
4. ran rom up date of said zip file
5. asked to make back up
6. rebooted in recovery mode
7. dont know if it worked??
8. still wont see my iphone using mywi for tethering
again any help would be great guys. thanks

You don't need to do any of that....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970219
You are rooted. All you have to do is use any file explorer which allows writing to root and copy this file to /system/ bin (back up your old one by renaming it to wpa_supplicant.old first. Restart wifi by going into settings and uncheck / recheck the box. You can now tether
The file is a zip. Extract the wpa_supplicant file from it and copy......not the whole zip itself...just the extracted file

Wow and I thought about copying the files. But I kept reading about "running" a patch, so I thought I had to let the script do something. Thank you very much for your link! I will try it hopefully tonight when I get home from working.
ok i am trying what you posted pyraxiate, but i cant seems to rename the files? i have tried both es file explorer and android file explorer.
ok i dont think my root went through. i re-read that the gingerbreak has to be on the devise and i had it on the sd card. problem is i cant get the gingerbreak apk to the eternal memory of the devise. my computer is only 32 bit and the adb files wont work on 32 bit, only 64 bit. so it seems i am stuck until i find a computer with an OS other than vista! damn it, unless some one has solution guess i am stuck unrooted for now
Do yourself a favor and use the super1click via tether to a laptop. Its easy. Install the drivers they give. Also I bought root explorer. Well worth it!
Also you can use the xp32 bit driver. It worked for me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=939921
That's how I did mine
If you have the gingerbreak.apk on the SD card use a file manager and install it. Then open in in the app drawer and click root. The device will reboot if it worked. Might take a few minutes and look like it froze.

Thing is I emailed it to myself and it still saved it to the sd card part, even though I removed my sd card?? I did the gingerbreak and it did reboot, I also did the clockwork recovery. I still don't know if it worked? Seems as though I try and rename the wpa files and I'm not allowed, does this mean that it isn't rooted?

I know es file explorer wont work for root. You need a root file explorer. Also, it would be a good idea to download a rom ( either streakdroid or custom 2.2.2), put it on the internal storage, and try booting into cwr to flash it. You boot cwr by powering the streak off first. Hold volume up in and push / hold power. You will get a recovery boot menu. From there choose update from zip ( this is where cwr is) and cwr should boot. From there follow guides to wipe data / cache / delvik and then go to install a file from zip. Choose the rom zip ...sit back...and relax as it flashes to a fully rooted rom
Hope that helps!!
Hi there everyone
I've got this spice mi 410 (INDIA). I am trying to use usb tethering on windows xp and on pclinuxos 2010. I connect the phone to the pc and then turn on usb tethering but no new driver installation pops up in windows so i cant select the tetherxp.inf as stated on (support.google.com/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=182134.). And on linux the knetworkmanager doesnt detect any modem.
However i can tether using easy-tether. But would really like to use the built in usb tethering feature. I have also noticed that in device manager in windows there are listed three unknown devices Android HSUSB but i dont have the drivers. Can someone provide these drivers to me.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi kshitij_bhatt
Thanks for sending those files. The drivers were successfully installed but still usb tethering not working. Then I installed maclite v 1.3s and i could access that extra cd drive. And when i ticked usb tethering, it was working flawlessly out of the box with maclite rom, then i again switched back to MIUI 1.11.11 and find that it is not working. However tj_style mentioned that it is working. So what could be at issue over here.
Thanks for sending the files. You've been of great help

don't understand well, but if what you want to do is:
When your Android phone is not connected, you click to install an application from webmarket on your PC, the application will install later when the phone get a connection.
there's nothing particular to do, it's already works like that !

You can find evrey app on google... download .apk file, connect ur phone with pc, and then copy .apk from pc to phone.
