[Eee Pad Transformer General] qwer23:
Update: If you are using the official firmware 8.6.5.9 (and obviously above) or any custom ROM based on it, you don't have to do anythink described here, because ad-hoc works natively. Thankfully ASUS fixed Googles unintelligible inability to enable connection to ad-hoc networks.

This renders this thread pretty much obsolete, but I won't delete it, just in case anyone doesn't want to or cannot update his device for whatever reason :rolleyes:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] philsuf:
awesome. a few more working confirmation from the others and i wont have to kiss my nokia e71 goodbye
[Eee Pad Transformer General] qwer23:
No need to wait, you could just try it. If you back up your original wpa_supplicant first, you can always undo your changes. I also added an easier way via root explorer that should be easier.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Skeldave:
i just tried it, it connected to barnacle wifi but i couldnt get the internet to work. ill try again tomorrow, it may be my phone.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] qwer23:
Did your phone show the barnacle symbol in the notification bar and tell you that a device is connected?

[Eee Pad Transformer General] thaddyusmaximus:
I've done this last week and noticed when stopping my hotspot on the phone the connection on the transformer shows it is still connected. So you have to manual disconnect if you want to reconnect again for later use. This is on my Nokia N8 Phone using JoikuSpot.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rpavich:
I tried to do this via the root explorer and it said "you cannot paste here because the file system is read only"
[Eee Pad Transformer General] qwer23:
On the top of your system directory in root explorer is a button, that says r/w. Push it and you'll get read/write mode.

thank you VERY much....I'll let you know how my tethering goes.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Skeldave:
Yes, the barnacle symbol was in the notification bar and my TF appeared on the 'client' tab, also the TF said that it was connected to barnacle wifi.

I'm going to try again now

EDIT: Worked perfectly this morning, thanks!

I did it via root explorer FYI
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jake21:
This seems like a rather minor change to wpa_suppliant.conf; any clue if google will fix this in honeycomb? Not sure I understand why it isn't enabled by default...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rpavich:
Ok...trouble getting this to work.

1.) On my Xperia X10; message in Barnacle:

"DHCP could not bind to DHCP port, address already in use"

2.) On my TF: it's stuck at "obtaining IP Address from barnacle"
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rpavich:
Ok....found the solution (on another XDA forum section)

I did the following and connected just fine!

1. Change SSID to whatever you want

2. Change Channel to 6

3. Custom Wifi Ad-hoc to none

4. Skip wpa_supplicant checked

5. Restart your phone (just to make sure...)

I used this method from my rooted OG Droid and the Xoom and it worked perfectly. I have to wait for my son in law to root my TF to try it out. Would I only need to root the TF for this to work?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] qwer23:
At the moment you need to root both your TF and your phone. But if you use Clockworkmod, you probably don't need a rooted TF, because I'm preparing an update.zip to flash via CWM ;)

Your phone has definitely to be rooted, ecxept it supports wifi tethering from stock.

edit: darn, amend scripting is no longer supported in Honeycomb. Anyone knows how to change the zip for edify scripting?

edit2: ok, probably got it solved. we'll see...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] qwer23:
Ok, I added a zip file for easy install through ClockWorkMod to the OP. It installed fine on my TF101 and tethering works, but please backup your wpa_supplicant before installing this and report any errors. I didn't work with edify scripts before :o

I also restructured the guide itself, from easiest to most complicate method ;)

Cheers

[Eee Pad Transformer General] rrushhour:
Would this mod work with an old TP2 windows mobile phone? Will the TF then be able to use it's wifi signal?

Also, if the TF is rooted, will we be able to accept the 3.1 HC update?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] qwer23:
If your WM phone creates an ad-hoc connection, this should work. I don't really know a lot about tethering on WM, maybe there are apps for that on the Windows marketplace?

As long as you have still the stock firmware and kernel installed, i guess rooting shouldn't affect your update functionality. Plus, you can still unroot ;)

[Eee Pad Transformer General] philsuf:
i thought these are age old problem on android... so i still don't see them fixing it even on 3.1, but i really hoped i'm wrong
[Eee Pad Transformer General] sanfaz:
OK, with the easy method the TF does NOT need root but CWM found in ROM manager should be on the TF? I remember that permissions needed to be checked when I tethered my Xoom, will the permissions need to be checked? My Droid 1 is already rooted and has Wireless Tether installed.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] qwer23:
You only need cwm, no root required. Permissions should be checked through the cwm zip file ;) But as i said before, i have zero experience with edify script. I tested the zip it on my own tf and it worked fine, but please make a nandroid backup first.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] sanfaz:
I got the zip file moved onto my removable msd card and thenI get this message when attempting to boot into recovery in CWM "An error ocurred while attempting to run privledged commands" ? I'm using the recovery as found in Rom Manager on unrooted TF as you mentioned in the previous post about not needing root on the TF.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] qwer23:
Hmm damn, i thought it would work with cwm. I never installed a zip using set_perm code before without rooting, though. Sorry then, wrong info from me :( I guess you definitely need to root for wifi tethering :(

Is anyone else having issues with this working on 3.1?

I flashed the CWM zip to try to get it to work.

I can't see the AndroidTether network on the TF, but can see it on my PC.

I'm rooted, running Primordial 3.1
[Eee Pad Transformer General] moorie:
I am rooted, Primordial 3.1..

I used the adb method and I can see adhoc networks with a (*) following them but it wont actually connect...

Anyone else having this problem? I had the same issue on 3.0.1..

Thanks!

[Eee Pad Transformer General] qwer23:
Sorry to disappoint you, but seems like only the adb method is working atm. I think I need to redo the zip file and the guide for CWM and root explorer.

But again, adb method works definitely!

putting the supplicant files in works, but i have to use root explorer to change the access from r/o to r/w then and only then will it work. am i doing something wrong? as long as i don't reboot it sees the touch pro 2 wireless broadcast
[Eee Pad Transformer General] qwer23:
If you use adb method step by step you don't need to do anything with root explorer. And you should still be able to connect to ad-hoc after a reboot. It's a permanent change :confused:

Question:

It sounds like the current methods require root on both the phone and transformer. If you have root on the phone why not just create a non-adhoc entry point ?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] qwer23:
You don't necessarily need root on your phone. Many older Android phones (and other devices, like some notebooks, ...) support ad-hoc tethering out of the box, but non-adhoc isn't always possible. Plus, you can also tether with Windows Mobile phones when ad-hoc is enabled.

Ad-hoc tethering just provides more options than non-adhoc, which of course still is possible to use.

Besides, not every phone can create non-adhoc entry points, even if rooted. My X10 for example can't because bootloader is still kinda locked and the stock kernel doesn't support Wifi hotspots.

And almost all tether apps, like Barnacle for example, create ad-hoc connections.

It is reported to work with the app Wireless Tether 3.0 pre 14 though, but I didn't try it myself. Feel free to try and report back, I'll add it to the first post then :) Didn't know about this app when I first wrote the guide.

I'm aware there's a lot do add and change in this topic since 2 out of 3 options don't work right now and other possibilities appeared. But I'm barely at home in the last weeks and can only post from work or xda app, so give me some time ;)

[Eee Pad Transformer General] a.mcdear:
so I used the a DB method and pushed the modded wpa_supplicant file to my rooted Droid Eris, and it works now!! I CAN now connect my transformer to my phones ad hoc wifi. I do however have a minor glitch however and wanted to see if anybody else has seen this too...

It seems that once my transformer is connected to my Eris (CM7.10 RC and Wireless Tether for root v 2.0.7) my phones tethering will remain active, even after the tethering app is disabled and closed.. somehow the modded wpa_supplicant file I just pushed to the transformer is what's causing this, because it will properly deactivate and turn off with any other devices connected, as long as one of those devices isn't the transformer...

It seems that as long as I disconnect the transformer first, tethering will properly disable like it should.. I'll do this for now, but I'd really like to know if anybody else experiences this and what might be the cause..

Invaluable! ADB method worked great. This should be stickied...Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer General] krazienluv10:
I noticed on the original first post there are two files, one for xoom the other for tf. Im asuming we use the tf file for the transformer right? i just got confused because this is the tf section and a xoom file was also added in....

Thanks!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Aryantes:
I use ADB to flash the file from the xoom zip.

I could be wrong but, I think the TF one is for flashing in clockwork but I haven't tried that method.

The xoom files work directly with the transformer as that is what I am using now.

You could back up your original wpa_supplicant file beforehand. If you don't, the stock ones are floating around somewhere.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] krazienluv10:
cool, how would i back it up anyways?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Aryantes:
try this.

adb remount

adb pull /system/bin/wpa_supplicant wpa_supplicant.stock
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JoTeC:
Oh I remember all this when I was trying to tether my GTab months ago... So many different supplicants and ROMs... I finally ditched my HTC WM 6.5 and bought the HTC Inspire 4G and using the built-in HotSpot feature, it worked like a champ without rooting either device. Now I use it on my Asus TF with no rooting of either device with no issues. Just start my HTC HotSpot and connect my TF and go. I had honestly spent days trying to get the GTab tethered to my phone. In the end, AT&T had the HTC Inspire 4G for US $99.00... Knowing that, I wouldn't have spent all the time and frustration... :cool:

[Eee Pad Transformer General] motoatrix:
noob question here, what is the difference in this ad-hoc method vs the bluetooth tethering?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] AlpineMan:
This will only work for WiFi tethering from your WiFi enabled phone...we need a separate solution for bluetooth tethering.

I believe the Xoom does bluetooth tethering out of the box. Perhaps someone can extract whatever files are needed from the Xoom and port it over to the Transformer to enable bluetooth tethering.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] pceasar:
dont remember if I replied on this thread..thanks this worked for me via adb
[Eee Pad Transformer General] vertner82:
I used root explorer and it worked for me

I tried the first one (first page of the Thread) and it didn't work. So I then tried to mess around with adb but i don't know enough about that and got intimidated. I then went to my

ES FILE EXPLORER

and tried like several times knowing I had root (via NVFlash) i tried and tried to get the wpa_supplicant to stay in the system / bin folder but in the bottom of the screen it kept saying copy failed... So i then forked out the $3.88 for the Root Explorer and with in three min and getting in to r/w I had wifi. I am using a rooted Thunderbolt (wifi Via Barnacle) and a rooted Transformer with dock (love the dock). Tested the Internet and it works just as fast on the TF as it does on the TB.

Thanks for all the help and support.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] el_brio:
I guess I have a misunderstanding of tethering... I thought that if you have your phone rooted that it basically becomes a WIFI access point that the Transformer would discover and use like any other WIFI access point (no root on tablet needed).

In fact, last weekend, my buddy who has an android phone opened up his wifi connection and I was able to connect with my transformer and browse the web.

What am I missing? What do you gain by rooting the tablet?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] qwer23:
It depends on the phone. Your buddy's phone creates a hotspot that the tablet can access just fine. But other phones create so-called ad-hoc connections which the transformer cannot connect to without these tweaks.

I just did the same...worked out well, now tethered to my HD2 with adhoc. I followed option #2 using Root Explorer.

Thanks a million!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ubelmort:
Root Explorer does work and it's the easiest and fastest way to tether.

The only thing left out in the tutorial on the first post is you need to set the permissions to full access on the original file before you can move/delete/replace it with the new one.

So I first copied the original file to another location, then I set the permissions to full access, then deleted it. Once it was deleted i used the wpa file for the xoom and copied/pasted it in the system/bin folder where the original was. then set the perrmissions stated in the first post.

No need to adb it, since my computer was having issues with seeing my device in the cmd prompt. Hope this helps others.

OK, finally found a little time to at least update the first post

- Tried and confirmed root explorer method (finally :rolleyes: )

- Added new info: If you're using Prime 1.5, modified wpa_supplicant is already included and ad-hoc tethering enabled. You don't need to do anything else.

- Removed ClockWorkMod zip file to avoid confusion (I don't get CWM method fixed, sorry!)

- added stock wpa_supplicant for 3.0 and 3.1 to OP

@de_gijbels: I'll upload the original file as soon as I'm home, right now I'm writing from work ;)
