Nope. The Evo uses infrastructural mode for tethering. It's cool. Before I found this fix I was sooo close to swapping my wife phones for her Evo just for that reason. The vast majority of Android phones tether using Ad-hoc networks.

FYI you can also create an Ad-hoc network with a Windows or Ubuntu/nix computer. This way, your Xoom can pick those up too.:cool:

TBH hack

What's the difference between this and the TBH ad-hoc zip i installed that seems to work fine with wifi tether?
[Xoom Android Development] mr_wrong_0:
I did a search for TBH ad-hoc zip but i couldn't find what you were talking about. Could you point me to it?

It's entirely possible that what I was not the first to package this inside a flashable zip. That said, I've been an active participant in all things Ad-hoc relating to the Xoom and I saw a need for it.
[Xoom Android Development] keunhuvac:
I used 3g mobile hotspot on motorola mislestone, and connectify on my laptop to share internet for my Xoom, i dont need to use the solution in this thread!

Has any1 tried those method?
[Xoom Android Development] mr_wrong_0:
Ummm, with all do respect, if you don't need this mod why are you posting in this thread? :confused:

There are LOTS of other ways to share internet from many different models of phones. What works for one may not work for another. Even my Epic is capable of broadcasting in infrastructure mode by using the mobile hotspot app that Sprint would want me to pay $30/month to use (I won't be doing that) or by using wireless tether 3.x but it's buggy and draws more battery than using Ad-hoc. Many people have phones that only put out an Ad-hoc signal. And any windows/mac or linux computer should be able to connect to an Ad-hoc signal without any help. The bottom line is that the Xoom like the ipad or computer should be able to pick up and connect to these networks anyway, but it can't. I enjoy my Xoom so much more now and I wanted to help others who DO benefit from this particular solution.
[Xoom Android Development] keunhuvac:
Oh! Sorry!

I didnt mean anything!
[Xoom Android Development] texasez:
Have you been able to get the security settings to work when you tether between the xoom and Evo. I am using Myn Rls 5 and I can connect open but not with any security settings. I am talking about before or after installing this zip.
[Xoom Android Development] mr_wrong_0:
I'll have to try it on my wifes Evo tonight. She has the Sprint lovers rom on it now and when she tethers it uses a modified version of the wireless tether app. It comes up as sprint hotspot, and is infrastructure mode so I wouldn't need this mod, but we always use it open. I'll try it with a password tonight.

EDIT: I tried it with a friends Evo and Yes, I was able to connect using a password. He's using the stock gingerbread tethering. On a CM7 nightly rom (I lost track of what one.) What kind of an error are you getting? What tethering app are you using in your rom? You shouldn't need this mod to connect to an Evo, but it wouldn't hurt if you tried it. (You could always flash back)
[Xoom Android Development] tonyb15re:
does this zip/script basically do what the instructions in this thread do?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1033314
[Xoom Android Development] yoshitweaky:
Yes exactly that
[Xoom Android Development] mr_wrong_0:
Yup. It's the same wpa_supplicant file. In fact if you read far enough into that thread you'll find that people were having trouble with the adb method as well as using root explorer. That was my inspiration to make this zip that can be flashed using recovery. Towards the end there is a link to this thread.
[Xoom Android Development] Turkawa:
Thanx a million.

I tried and failed to wifi tether to my wifi xoom from iphone before this..

Now i can connect to iphone and blaze thru the net.

Working beautifully!!

This is getting better every day!!
[Xoom Android Development] mr_wrong_0:
Just wondering if anyone is having any issues with the zip file?

I know BRD built it into his rom (which is awesome) but anyone who doesn't want to flash the rom can just flash the zip.
[Xoom Android Development] LNKNPRKFN:
so does this allow me to use my Desire HD`s 4g on my xoom without turning on my hotspot?

i dont mind the hs, but if it will save me batt juice...

thx
[Xoom Android Development] mr_wrong_0:
Nope. You'd still have to use your hotspot. I believe that your phone uses an infrastructure signal to tether, so your Xoom can most likely see your phone without this MOD. Other phones use Ad-hoc and the Xoom can't see the network to connect without a little help :).

I've heard of some users looking into using a USB tethering option to share internet. I don't know if it is working yet but if it is that might save a bit on battery.
[Xoom Android Development] MitchTank:
so is this an add on or replacement. If I flash does this allow me access regular and ad hoc....or just ad hoc?
[Xoom Android Development] mr_wrong_0:
You will be able to access both.
[Xoom Android Development] farmsatguy:
Excellent job on this, has made life much better. So just to be clear, if I install brd's Tiamat rom, there's no need to flash this as well because he has already included it, right?

Thanks for this.
[Xoom Android Development] mr_wrong_0:

[Xoom Android Development] xjack:
Try moving the zip to the root of your sd and selecting it from there.

Anytime I've had trouble flashing zips that has been the solution.
[Xoom Android Development] jumphour:
Wow, cool...I just tried it. Didn't know it was built in. Works great! I was almost gonna download the zip.
[Xoom Android Development] monyozt:
still not working :(
[Xoom Android Development] mr_wrong_0:
The zip file in the picture isn't the same file name that I posted in the op. Where did you download the zip from? Download the zip

From the original post in this thread and try that one.

It kind of looks like it may have been an old file I uploaded into a different thread when I was trying to get the flashable zip working. The one from the op is the finished product.
[Xoom Android Development] mr_wrong_0:
this might be helpful those upgrading to 3.2 until BRD gets a Tiamat out.
[Xoom Android Development] champers:
For anyone wondering, this still works fine with 3.2.
[Xoom Android Development] Alxoom33:
Will this work with the android 3.2 rom and the Katana 2.0 kernal:-)???

Thanks
[Xoom Android Development] champers:
It works for me without the new kernel, I would think it works with it since I had both this and the last 3.1 tiamat flashed together without a problem before.
[Xoom Android Development] Alxoom33:
It works with 3.2/ and the new Tiamat 2.00 K kernel on my wifi Zoom.

Thanks;-)
[Xoom Android Development] mr_wrong_0:
Yeah it should work fine with the Katana Kernal. Let me know if it gives you any trouble.
[Xoom Android Development] Apota:
I tried running it on my Toshiba Thrive Tablet and I got the following error message, "E:sigature verification failed", "Installation aborted". Does someone know where I can get the correct file for my Tab? It's running Android 3.1. Thanks!
[Xoom Android Development] mr_wrong_0:
In clockwork recovery there is a toggle for signature verification. I believe that its one of the settings after you select install zip from SD card. It will say toggle signature verification. After that it should let you flash it. If not then you can still extract the wpa supplicant file and use root explorer to copy it to the system\bin folder.

Unfortunately, this doesn't work with my Thunderbolt. :-(

I've tried running Wireless Tether 2.0.8 as well as the latest 3.2. Still says "obtaining IP address" and never connects.

I'm on rooted Xoom 3.2.
[Xoom Android Development] mr_wrong_0:
With wireless tether 2.x does the network show up as an ad-hoc network? Does it have an asterisk * next to the name? When you used the wifi tether 3.x did you set it up to broadcast in ad-hoc or regular (infrastructure) mode? Last thing is that my zoom will only connect to my phone network when the phone screen is on and showing the wireless tether screen. Its stupid but it will stay on obtaining IP address forever if the screen is off. Once its connected the screen can be off just fine.
[Xoom Android Development] fwempa:
Also on rooted 3.2 and was having same problem "obtaining" as you were. not sure why it worked, but here's what worked for me with Inspire 4g. there's an app called Barnacle WiFi. in settings i selected "skip wpa_supplicant" and it just worked. Would love to know why it works if someone can shed light on this. You may need to google the apk. It would not download from the market for my phone.

Nevermind, just read the post above. Sorry.

If anyone knows though, what does skipping wpa_supplicant do that makes it work?
[Xoom Android Development] dadoc04:
jay,

Make sure you have the routing fix setting checked... thats what did it for me on my Evo3D
[Xoom Android Development] jayhammy:
Did you use this in conjunction with the WPA supplicant fix in this thread?
[Xoom Android Development] jayhammy:
I'm pleased to report that it now WORKS on my Thunderbolt!

1. Installed the zip fix in this thread.

2. Fired up Wifi Tether version 3.1 beta2.

3. Routing fix is UNchecked.

4. Wi-fi driver reload is CHECKED.

5. Running Full Rom Deodexed US Wifi Android 3.2 / Tiamat Katana 2.0.0

Thanks for all the help, guys!
[Xoom Android Development] jayhammy:
Very strange. I can no longer tether the Xoom to my Thunderbolt. After my last reboot, it just stopped working.

UGH! Any help is appreciated. I running a rooted stock 3.2.
[Xoom Android Development] mr_wrong_0:
Does it still show up? Does it connect but just not have any internet? Have you tried connecting a laptop to the network? What kind of problems is it having?
[Xoom Android Development] jayhammy:
It still shows up and I can tether my laptop to my Thunderbolt. I just can't tether any longer the Xoom to my T-Bolt.
[Xoom Android Development] mr_wrong_0:
So I'm still a little foggy on exactly what is happening. Does the Xoom see the network and connect to it, but you are not able to load any web pages on the Xoom? Or it sees it but does not connect? Or it doesn't show up as a network at all on the Xoom? If it does connect but no internet is able to be used you want to check the wifi tether program and make sure that "access control is DISABLED" also make sure it's not started with any errors. Again I'm just guessing here.
[Xoom Android Development] mscroggi:
Oh man.. I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out a way to tether my Xoom to my Droid Charge.. The BT tethering I had done previously on my droid (which didnt really work very well) wouldnt work at all on the Charge.. (btw - stay from pdanet tablet beta.. has issues)

THEN I ran across this little baby! Works flawlessly!..

Many many thanks!
[Xoom Android Development] jayhammy:
It sees the network but never connects. Access control was always disabled.
[Xoom Android Development] mr_wrong_0:
Maybe try re-flashing, or flashing the stock wpa_supplicant zip and then the mod again. I don't know what else to suggest.

Alternate .zip file

Hey all, Thanks to daveba we have an alternate zip file to get ad-hoc networks.

I like both versions, and they are both stable.
[Xoom Android Development] RobinofE:
first of all thx for the effort on the adhoc networks!

but is there anybody, who can connect with xoom 3.2 to a nokia phone with joiku.

i tried with an e71 and a c7 - both no luck :-(

i see the adhoc network - but when trying to optain an IP-address - it just cant connect.

please help!
[Xoom Android Development] vectorman:
Fellas, this is a Godsend! I really appreciate the work on this. This problem has been dogging me since I got my Xoom on 07/20.

Thanks.
[Xoom Android Development] marcoiai:
I think i know whats up with joiku

RobinoFe, i had a similar problem. Whent i installed ubuntu into my new notebook, a couldnt connect my n95 + joiku with it.

I discovered that to connect to ad-hoc networks, you need a short "computer network name". Mine was too big, try changing (dont know how do it in honeycomb) but try googling it!

Hope it helps, let us know!
[Xoom Android Development] RobinofE:
thx marcoiai, i will try that as soon as i am back home and let you know if i got it to work!
[Xoom Android Development] RobinofE:
marcoiai, you are my hero !!

thx for the tip - that worked great!

for anybody else having same problem connecting to an adhoc network - although you can see it on your xoom - you just need to do the following steps:

1. xoom must be rooted, and the fixed wpa_supplicant must be installed.

2. install a terminal emulator

3. enter the following commands line by line

su

setprop net.hostname <anyHosteNameYouLike>

exit

-- su : grants superUser permission

-- setprop net.hostname : command to set the new hostname

-- instead of <anyHosteNameYouLike> put in your desired hostname

-- exit : removes superUser permission

you need to do this everytime you reboot your tablet.

i did not find out how to make a autostart script, yet(autostart app does not seem to work with 3.2)

hope this helps some of you...
[Xoom Android Development] marcoiai:
Nice

Wow, im glad i could help you!

Dou you managed to get actually woriking? I mean, a can connect, obtain ip address, but cant browse the net!
[Xoom Android Development] ualdriver:
I hope you can answer a newbish question or two.....

When you say to copy the zip file to your SD card, that means when I use a file explorer program like esFileExplorer, that the file is located in /SD card/ and right before that first slash there is a little mini picture of a SD card?

How do I reboot in CWM recovery mode?

Thanks.
[Xoom Android Development] mr_wrong_0:
Hold volume up and power until the tablet reboots, then when the red moto logo pops up press volume down. It shoud say android recovery in the corner. Then press volume up to select it and it will boot into recovery.
[Xoom Android Development] ualdriver:
Thanks again!
[Xoom Android Development] ualdriver:
Sorry to bother again, but I am new to this android OS.

I got it into android recovery as you stated. When I hit the volume down, this what I see:

Android system recovery <3e>

Use volume keys to highlight;power button to select

Reboot system now

Apply update from USB drive

Wipe data/factory reset

Wipe cache partition

In your instructions, I believe it says that there should be a 'install zip from SD card' selection, but I am not seeing that choice, and I did not want to screw things up in this unfamiliar mode.

Am I doing something wrong? I have not rooted my Xoom. Is that the problem?
[Xoom Android Development] mr_wrong_0:
Yes that is one of many problems lol.

In order to flash this mod you need to do a couple things:

1. Unlock your bootloader and root your Xoom.

2. Flash custom recovery, either clockworkMod or Rouge,

As for how to do those things, I've pointed you in the right direction.

Read

the threads and follow the instructions exactly. Don't skip any steps and you'll be just fine.
[Xoom Android Development] ualdriver:
He-he. Yeah I wasn't even close. OK. I have some reading to do. Thanks again.

Ive been using this mod for some time. Today I flashed up to stock 3.2.1 and couldnt see adhoc networks again. Reflashed this from the OP and was able again to connect to my OG droid. Here's where it gets fun.

That's awesome. Many phones can tether in infrastructure mode instead of ad-hoc, this patch is for those of us who rely on an ad-hoc connection to get our internet on the the Xoom. I tried a new WPA supplicant over the weekend but it as still giving errors so... still in the works.

[Xoom Android Development] Fusius:
Hey...has anyone tried to see if the 4.0.4 enhancements included fixes/patches to the wpa_supplicant file? Maybe it can be tweaked now...
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
I believe I've narrowed down the final piece of the adhoc puzzle. The solution will consist of TDR's ibss kernel patch, mrdeadlocked's supplicant patch, and some android framework stuff I'm working on. Ics is perfectly capable of adhoc as I have done it by bypassing the android wireless framework altogether using development tools. To be continued...
[Xoom Android Development] mr_wrong_0:
Thanks BRD, there are a lot of us out here that are pretty stumped by ics. I can't wait for the update, and thanks again for all the great work done by team EOS.
[Xoom Android Development] bigrushdog:
In a nutshell, this is why adhoc is going away. During normal wifi ops the driver is in "station" mode. That is, when you are connecting to a standard access point. However, the driver can not connect to a adhoc network in station mode. The supplicant patch allows us simply to see the adhoc network. Also, the patch allows the supplicant to change driver mode into adhoc. However Android does not know what to do with the adhoc driver mode. Also, you can not scan in adhoc mode. Basically adhoc is a old antiquated technology and does not meet today's wireless needs.
