Hello Im running stock froyo 2.2 atnt. Always had a problem with wifi not working sometimes. I was always able to fix this by replacing the dhcpcd under system/bin with root explorer.
Well this time I accidentally tried to paste the replacement dhcpcd file under system/etc and now my wifi wont work at all.
I was wondering if anyone is running stock/rooted could please give me a copy of the original dhcpcd file located under system/etc.
Ahh well nvm. Odin'd back to 2.1 then im in the process of reinstalling 2.2. A simple factory reset wont restore any files changed within the os.

As has been documented, the replacement WPA_Supplicant file to allow Ad Hoc WiFi support also has an issue of not reconnecting after sleep. Although many solutions have been offered with profiles and task programs, I just went back to the original WPA_Supplicant file so it would work as it should as I rarely need Ad Hoc support.
What I am looking for is a quick way to swap the appropriate WPA_Supplicant files in the /system/bin folder so that I could just quickly swap files when needed (which is rarely). I found a script file that would run in Gscript but the commands broke my WiFi and I had to reload the original WPA_Supplicant file with ADB to get it going again.
Does anyone have a script or suggestion for swapping files? Does Root Explorer have the ability to copy a file over an existing file in the /system/bin folder?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I believe it does but I'd save the original with a different name first, just in case you need it later. If you rename the original and just copy your new WPA_Supplicant into the \system\bin folder you won't need to over write it.
Did going back to the original solve the wifi reconnect issue? How could I do the same?
I don't need ad hoc support at all.
I'm on nookie froyo.

Yes, returning to the stock WPA_Supplicant file gave me back the WiFi without Ad Hoc capability. If you need the stock WPA_Supplicant file please see the link that I have provided below.
After my original post, I found this post that had everything that I was looking for:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872521
If you've messed up the wpa_supplicant file is there a way to view a setting or a way to tell that you have the original file back and ready if you've attempted to update it to the adhoc fix that is out there?
I renamed the wpa_supplicant file to back it up, while pasting the new adhoc fix one in. It did not allow wifi to function on the auto-nootered version of NC i have, so i reverted back to orig file, but my process must be skewed a bit, b/c i replaced the adhoc fix with the old file, its name is correct, the permissions were reset, but still no wifi to be found.
Any ideas? I have written in the dev thread where the process is found but have found no answer.
Haha mistyped. I found it. The folder needs to be renamed and the new file must be outside of the folder. Resolved.
Try wpa_supplicant
Hi guys,
Looking for helps here.
First I want to thank the guy created the "Overcome for Gingerbread", it comes w/ a great details instruction and I successfully upgraded.
My tab was original from Bell Canada, the phone feature was locked. I was able to unlock it by modifying the nv_data.bin file...
But now after I upgraded to Gingerbread, my phone feature is disabled again so I suppose I should do the whole unlock process again. However when I looked for the nv_data.bin file, the directory /efs is empty?!?!?!. Can someone help me here?
Thanks,
Edit: I found a nv_data.bin file on my laptop (not sure if it's the orginial one), trying to copy it to the /efs folder on the tablet, but I got error "not enough space"...
What program u using to copy with. Put that file on the SD card first from your PC.
Then get EF File Explorer rooted, and copy that from the SD card to the /efs directory
The nv_data.bin edit unlocks the tablet to allow use on other carriers like rogers, fido etc.
It does not provide phone usage, you need to flash a european rom to enable the phone,
then you need to flash a suitable modem to allow 3G data and phone, then edit your apn info.
Are you sure efs is empty, maybe your no longer rooted and can't see it?
You get the not enough space error because you have most probably renamed the original file and are trying to copy the new one in the directory. Delete the file and also the.md5 correspondent (it will be recreated on reboot.
P
Thanks for all the replies guys, but my problem is still there.
@Sonictab: I'm rooted and I'm sure that my /efs folder is empty.
@StarLog: I'm using Super Manager to copy the file
Now I can't even download files from the browser nor using the market place to download any apps. Something went wrong and I'm not sure what. Should I downgrade?
anyone know where I can find the wifirouter.apk? This file is found in any Sense based rom in the system/app folder. I inadvertently deleted the one form my phone and need to replace it. Can anyone help me out?
You probably already found it but...

Actually you should be able to get it from the zip file you flashed to your phone. Use 7Zip to open the file and look around. It should be in there.
or just try this one out..
wifirouter.apk installation failure
wifirouter.apk fails to install via the normal means. After viewing the message stating that "wifirouter.apk was not installed" I found a few other places on the internet mentioning this app. One of these places suggested copying the wifirouter.apk directly to /system/app/ and setting the permissions correctly (-rw-r--r--). I have placed this wifirouter.apk file in /system/app/ via root explorer, verified permissions, and rebooted my phone but the app is still not visible. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm attempting to do this on an HTC incredible 2.
Thanks.

Hi guys,
I'm having an issue with my wifi/bluetooth not turning on, and I've tried factory reset as well as flashing a bunch of different ROMS.
I went into my data/misc/wifi folder and found that I did not have anything where wpa_supplicant.conf should be
Can someone please upload a wpa_supplicant.conf for me?
Thanks!

thanks for the suggestion
I tried that but the issue I have right now is I simply don't have a wpa_supplicant.conf file
I've tried copying etc. and it says no such file and directory
I figured the easiest would be to get a wpa_supplicant file and flash it to whichever firmware it's from
this is the last thing I can think of before I take it to someone to get it repaired - unfortunately dealing with sony support has been a disappointing experience
(they said they changed their policy 2 weeks ago and no longer service international phones, but more importantly the phone has "physical damage" because I said that the port covers were worn and came off less than a year into using the phone regularly)
any help is appreciated

I found the file you were after, but I don't know enough about it to say if it will help you or not.
This isn't a file to flash, I just couldn't upload a .conf file. So unpack it to the correct folder and don't forget to set the permissions.
The thing is you can't just "copy" it and it will work, it has to have the appropriate permissions for the while to be read and executed by the system, If memory serves me right its 0644 or rw-r-r permissions
Thank you all so much for taking the time to help me - I will try out the suggestions sometime next week after my exams and update!
