Cyanogenmod 5.0.5.3 - Wireless_tether 2.0_pre8 (and older)

I just loaded my AT&T version with cyanogen 5.0.5.3, and the wireless tether app does not work.
No matter the security settings I use, it always shows unsecure network on my laptop (OSX, Ubuntu and Vista).. If I set it to unsecure in the app, it still does not connect.
I have never used it before, but I am assuming the cyanogenmod kernel has the required bits for the app to work properly.
Am I missing something stupid?
Thanks

you may want to adb push method or adb install -r method instead. reboot after install. or try my rom linked in signature.
if you don't know how to use sdk's adb, do a search here on xda for one of the many basic tutorials or ask for details.

Will do adb.. I have the linux sdk..
Thanks, will post back with results..

OK, installing with adb has the same effect.
There are posts from the google code pages where this has happened in the past (last year though), so I doubt related..
Out of ideas...!

This is with WEP set.. It must have something to do with wpa_supplicant somewhere.. I'll keep digging...

maybe it might have something to do with atnt not able to do it throught there network. like us tmobile users can use data while on the phone? dont know alot but that could be a possibility

Nah, wpa_supplicant is not negotiating wep for some reason. I just replace the wpa_supplicant.conf file with a very generic open key WEP config and it still does not work..
I need to dig through my broadcom nda's and find this chip, and see if I can use the firmware.. I'll just load it up in AP mode and run hostapd and be done with it....
Ad-Hoc just plain sucks, almost as much as wep...

lmgtfy.com - that was awesome - my family members are gonna feel like idiots asking me questions now!
I had not heard of that site before.

Regarding wep-encryption & CM 5.0.5.x:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=292
So, wep-encryption is broken (no idea why) on the latest cyanogenmod-build. Please use CM 5.0.4.1 - it works flawlessly there.
I will take a closer look the next days ... but it's hard to tell what is causing this - I don't know which changes were made on CM.
By the way ... why was this topic moved to Q&A
This is definitely an issue which needs to be solved and should stay in development!

Thanks - I googled for quite a while, and never came across that info. Tethering is not that critical (unless I am travelling), so I will just wait for a fix sometime.
I would have figured other in this forum would have hit it though?!?!?
-G

I've installed 5.0.5.3 and downgraded the kernel which came with 5.0.4.1 - and it start working again! So, I would say that this issue is related to the latest kernel (2.6.33.1)!
I've created an issue on cyanogemod:
http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=1217

i have wifi tether pre 8 on latest CM mod and its working great, wep works, and no errors in log.

I am having the same problem. I have both a nexus one and motor milestone. Tethering on milestone doesn't have problems but my nexus can't seem to connect as well no Sep security. I can see the my SSID, anyone can help?

There are obviously factors that differ between devices somehow. I too can change kernels and the issue goes away. Something is "missing" somewhere. A git pulled vanilla 2.6.33 kernel works just fine when booting the zimage from fastboot..
I have not looked at the cyanogen .config or wireless module source yet to see any modifications that would effect it...
I'm more interested in the module working in AP mode now that the driver supports it, and have been working on that...

Rogers Dream Slow Mobile Data Need Your help

Hello i have a Rogers dream rooted. I used speedtest.net application here are my last 10 test result in kbps...
I have a clue can it be that is lsow my connection because it always roaming?

Note:those numbers are not backward!
you get the picture the download speed is very very bad upload is good.
i tryed many differents roms and kernel mix.
here is my setup for those test above
radio: 3.22.26.17
spl: dangerspl
recovery: RA-dream-v1.7.0R
rom: MT3G-test2_S + MT3G-test2-market-fix_S
kernel: ez-BiffTest2Kern_ebi1_S
i dont know how can i fix my trouble i use this phone on telus network ans tested my sim in a telus htc desire and speed is fantastic!
if you have any idea to fix my trouble it would be very very appreciated since i need some internet for my work and if i cant fic it i need a new phone and its not a good option for me now!
thank for your help.

Look up ro.rill settings, the ota being a T-Mobile stock Tom is not optimized to other networks.
But you can from recovery modify your ro.ril settings to speed things up..
(Or copy the out of the desires build.prop)

thx for the info i will try the file from my firend desire he is on telus. i edited mine but im not sure if it worked yet!

You just want the ril settings, since the rest will impact the operation of the rom. Also not all settings will work so keep a backup.
Also in other threads it's noted it may take a few restarts for it to work.

Im not able to write to system i tryed some guide in terminal and one apllication from the marking but im notable to copy prop.buil to system.

Boot into recovery, atatch your USB wire and run the following adb comands from your computer:
To pull build.prop to your computer:
Code:
adb shell mount /system
adb pull /system/build.prop build.prop
Edit the file
Then to push back:
Code:
adb push build.prop /tmp/build.prop
adb shell dos2unix /tmp/build.prop
adb shell cat /tmp/build.prop /system/build.prop
adb shell sync
adb shell um
adb shell reboot

I finally managed to change the setting from 10 to 12 and its faster but not like the desire. i get 1000 kbps somes times and upload is still faster. Thx for the help whit this !! im still wondering if roaming can make the connection slower.

You have a telus sim on the telus network correct? [That combo is not roaming]
There are many factors in network speed. Personally for most things I use phone data for latency is more of a problem than speed.
One other note: if you are no longer with rogers you might try changing 3.22.26.17 -> 3.22.20.17 by fastboot. (not sure it will help speed but is know to solve some other gotchas without impacting the current rom)

do i need to flash a new recovery at the same time?

No .. if you are just going between 3.22.* radios using fastboot to flash:
The current system (including recovery, boot, system, and userdata) ought to work without any modification..
In case of problems however: so long as you flash the radio via fastboot [AND NOT recovery] you can use fastboot to restore a -R recovery and wipe the rest of the system if something goes wrong.

moto xt1052 1st Gen Asia Retail - Issue with Wifi and Bluetooth

Hi all,
I am not a techie guy, but i have tried most of the things available online to solve the issue in my Moto X device. Need some help here. I own a Moto XT1052 from Asia retailer bought in 2014. The phone is amazing, however recently the wifi started playing up with intermittent loss of connection.
Upgrade details
The default OS was Kitkat 4.4.4, which was upgraded to Lollipop 5.1 over the air in August 2015. The phone did not show any specific issues until April 2016.
So far, I have tried troubleshooting in following areas:
Router or internet issue: - Eliminated
This issue was not with specific router or wifi access point, but for all the wifi access points I used to connect to or the new ones.
I also checked MAC filtering in two of the routers, which i was facing issues with.
Installed App issues - Eliminated
The issue continued even in safe mode.
1. Switching off WIFI and then turning on
2. Factory reset through software and recovery mode
3. Reinstalling StockROM to Kitkat 4.4.4 so as to eliminate OS upgrade issues.
4. Reinstalling Lollipop 5.1 (tried EU, GB and Asia)
Now the Wifi & Bluetooth wont turn on at all and the MAC address is "unavailable"
In one of the threads, i read the persist folder contains the necessary files for WIFI and Bluetooth. So i rooted the device through SuperSU and TWRP to check the system files. However, I do not have the folder named "persist"
I am not sure if persist folder is brand/ model specific. Please Help.

I have the same model of Moto X running on 4.4.4 (downgraded from 5.1 stagefright) and can confirm that my phone has the "persist" folder containing around 15 files with total size of 70 kb. I have used "es file explorer" with "root explorer" enabled to verify the "persist" folder. Tnx

Hi Bryan,
Thanks for the info.
I am using the TWRP to root and check the system files. I am unable to find the folder as "persist". Can you help me with the location of the foldeer; as in is it root folder or subfolder.
Also, if it is missing from my device, can you please helping in uploading your folder so i can add the same to my device. Also, if you can help if i need any special permissions to add the folder.
Thanks.

WiFi connectivity problem

Hi,
I’m from Portugal and I’ve bought a Mi5 some days ago.
I have a problem for which I don’t find any solution.
The phone came with a modified fake ROM from the Chinese store but was working fine.
I unlocked the phone and installed TWRP to flash other ROMs. I flashed MIUI 8 global stable and a custom ROM from Xiaomi.eu without any problem.
Everything was working fine with the phone but I noticed that a lot of files from prior fake ROM (the one from the Chinese store) remained in the phone. So I decided to swipe everything in TWRP (including system and internal storage) and flashed MIUI Global Stable ROM again.
From this point, I never again been able to connect to a WiFi network and the 2G, 3G LTE connection became very weak and instable. The phone scan the wifi network available without problem, but after introducing the password, it tries to connect and just shows “Saved”.
I tried a lot of stuff. Static IP, reboot router, change router channel, change router security settings, flash different ROM, tweak build.prop file, but the problem persist.
In the phone test menu, when I try to connect to a WiFi I see that the phone scan, connect, disconnect, scan, connect, disconnect…
Any help?
Do you think it’s Hardware related issue? Or phone firmware and driver problem?
I’ll be very grateful for any assistance.

Hello
Yesterday I got the phone and I have exactly the same situation. Tried the same things, also flashing RR Nougat, RR Marshmallow, MIUI 7 and 8. Wifi isn't working in any situation. Did you solve it? Anyone have some ideas with it?

try another ROM
Just try the ROM "cm-13.0-20161211-NIGHTLY-gemini" .
My mi5 had the same problem when I got it, so I try unlock, bootloader, new cm14 rom, even went to change sim card, cause can't access 4G, still no luck. Then I backed to official ROM, factory reset, still have wifi and 4G problem. Finally after try the cm13 ROM, every thing became fine. It took me 5 days to resolved it.
FYI, mi5 's wifi signal strength is poor than others as so many complain you can see on the miui forum.

Tried that CM build, still nothing. I found in dev tools option to debug WIFI, and all the time I have RSSI of -127, even if I'm literally 1m from source (also I tried many sources). I'm out if ideas. Also It's not reception problem, because original ROM (like OP, probably fake global MIUI) had WIFI working just fine for me.

I have exactly the same situation.
I'll try the ROM "cm-13.0-20161211-NIGHTLY-gemini".
Thanks!!!

Unfortunately, this ROM did not work for me either. :crying:
Any more help?
Thank you very much!!!

Try Xiaomi.eu 8.1.7.0 Nougat.
It's working for me, but my wifi wont connect in CM/ AOSP ROM

Hello friend, do you have the link for me to download this ROM?
Many thanks for helping.

I had the same problem, same symptoms.
I too flashed a new ROM and couldn't connect to any AP, I tried various ROMS, MIUI 7 & 8 and CM 13 & 14.1.
Though I think I found a solution (it worked for me ). I simply changed my MAC-adress and I was able to connect to my home WiFi.
I'm running CM 14.1-2016225-NIGHTLY-gemini on MI5.
This is what I did to fix my WiFi:
First prepare an new MAC-address. I personally don't know when a MAC-address is considered valid, so I just took one from an other device. I used the mac address of my previous mobile phone, which could connect to my router.
1. Disable WiFi.
3. Enable debugger settings (Setting>about Phone>Press build number repeatedly).
2. Enable root (Develepor settings>root access set to "Apps and ADB").
3. Open the file manager app.
4. Give the file manager app root access (menu>Settings(cog in lower left corner)>General settings>Access mode set this on "Root Access mode").
5. Now find the file root/etc/firmware/wlan/qca_cld/ and open wlan_mac.bin.
You should see something similar to:
Code:
Intf0MacAddress=XXXXXXXXXXXX
Intf1MacAddress=XXXXXXXXXXXX
END
6. Change the first to your new MAC-address, but first write down the old one, so you can change it back if this method doesn't work for you.
The last X of the next line should be a digit higher than the previous line. E.g:
Code:
Intf0MacAddress=957FDC328BF[B]4[/B]
Intf1MacAddress=957FDC328BF[B]5[/B]
END
(This MAC-address most likely won't work).
7. Save the file. You might need to press the save button a few times.
8. Check if the file has changed.
9. Check if you MAC-address has changed (Settings>WiFI>Configure-WIFI(cog in right upper corner)).
10. Enable WiFi.
I hope this works for everyone that has the same problem.

I'll try this procedure too, thank you very much Pekkuky.
I'll be back to talk if it fired, thanks for the help.

I tried to install the ROM that bajak85 suggested and it did not work for me, however I tried the procedure that pekkuky taught in ROM Xiaomi.eu 8.1.7.0 Nougat (ROM that bajak85 suggested) and it started to work, changing the MAC address worked for me too.
I did exactly as taught by Pekkuky and tried with another randomly generated MAC. That also worked.
Thank you all for the help and thank you very much Pekkuky, saved my life with this tip.

Hello, did you make sure that the MAC address was actually changed? In my case, a reboot was necessary for the modification to take effect.
I needed to forget the network and try again too, try this too, make sure the MAC has really changed and forget the wifi network and try again.
Good luck. :good::good:
