wifi tether apk on ICS

I recently upgraded to ICS and was having a nightmare of a time trying to get the Wifi Tether APK v3.1-beta11 to work. I tried installing the WPA supplacant file and gave it read/write permissions across the board, to no avail. Went into the WPA_client file and gave that full permissions, but that screwed up my regular wifi toggle and I had to restore the system file via clockworkmod. Finally, I did something I should have tried from the beginning and tried various profiles under wifi tether, and the Google Nexus (GSM) profile worked like a charm. I am running ICS on a samsung captivate i897 from ATT. Hope this helps. :cool:
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Well, next update supposedly adds native ad-hoc support, so soon we won't have to worry :D Plus a couple other cool features, namely lockscreen stuff.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] phree1:
I just got an HTC Thunderbolt yesterday.

I rooted it, put on a custom ROM and ran Open Garden as well as Wifi Tether and my prime worked great with both of them.

My prime is rooted but just stock ROM. I have not unlocked the boot loader. I was pretty surprised to not have to do anything to get it to work.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
Thank the phone & ROM... not the tablet for that
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] phree1:
The Prime ROM is stock, just rooted.

I guess Open Garden and Wifi Tether aren't using ad-hoc?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
has anyone with new update checked the files out to see any changes or if the old and modded files got deleted? mines updated no problem without changing any modded wifi files. ill take a look in there soon to see what changes there was.

edit: ok, I just checked with root explorer. There's a new wpa_supplicant2 file in there. its dated from today in its properties. the modded file is gone, along with the original file that was renamed to .bak at the end. there is a wpa_supplicant file in there also. its properties show like a February date. so the update added a new file and deleted/replaced those other files. So there's only 2 files in there now after update. I haven't tested out the tethering yet on new update files. ill post back and let you know how it goes.

---------- Post added at 11:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 AM ----------

update: I got a little worried at first..lol. when untried to switch over to tethering network, from my Comcast network, it got stuck on obtaining IP address. So I chose to forget my Comcast network and cut wifi off then on again. then it picked up my Android tether and connected. I'm posting now from it. So we have tethering back again from stock feature. no modded files needed anymore.

Thanks again to LocknLoad for pulling us through this whole time. Now with new update, we can tether without Modding any files. ;)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
Glad to read EVERYONE can get this now hack free.. as it always should have been :)

I will let a few others chime in with a confirm to be sure first - I have not updated yet myself as I like to wait several days for hysteria to shake out - and then I will change the first post to reflect this good news.

And BTW, I will always have a copy of the OG wpa2 and my wpa2 just in case. As well, I plan to copy the new ones also that now work incase a future update breaks it. This way, we can always get it back IF something ever happens.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eluno:
ok so i did the whole rooting and added the file and now i can tether from GS2 to my prime. but now i can't seem to connect to any other wifi hotspot except for my GS2 not even my home wifi works now. any ideas why??
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
As I said... its the PHONE not the tablet. You have said it 2x now... your PHONE has a custom ROM and one I suspect with a hotspots cooked in.

(But who cares now since the .21 update goes you ad hoc built in)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
With ad hoc now being cooked into the ,21 update as of day why not just use the stock setup
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eluno:
ok i got it to work everywere now. i had to change my home wifi settings to "static" and all is good now:)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eluno:
does anyone know if the new update fixes the tether issue?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Yes. I can't say from personal experience, I keep getting the dead Android lol some edit must still be undone in build.prop or something, but it's supposed to give fully-functioning ad-hoc at stock.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
We've only had a few confirms here at best.

When I finally update I will test it myself & report back & alter the thread accordingly.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
I can now say from personal experience....

Yes, the .21 update fixes this for everyone!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] neckbonest:
can someone please post the stock .15 wpa_supplicant2 files? i seam to have lost my backup and my log shows this to be the reason for update failing. thanks in advance
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] piokon:
I think it would be helpful to add to the opening post that the changed wpa_suplicant2 file is preventing the update from .15 to .21. Took me a while to track that, and I did check this thread earlier.

I was unable to update till I restored the old one.

PS. Solution thanks to http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...ror-updating-firmware-tf201-2.html#post163733
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] eluno:
is thier a way to reset all of network connections. it seem now my prime wont tether to my GS2 anymore i have tried everything even powring down and it still wont tether. i can see it in the list of connection but it wont connect it just says "saved" and just sits thier. it never tries to connect even when i tell it to.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
You can long-press and have it forget the network, try connecting again. You're on the newest update and haven't messed with any system files or your build.prop?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
that didn't affect me updating. I left everything modded and it updated just fine. it automatically deletes a replace existing files in there and puts new one one.

still good to add to OP for a last resort thing to try if updating not working.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
So, the logs in /cache/recovery for me don't show anything. Their file sizes change, but regardless of how I open them they're just blank pages.

Any ideas?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
Same here...

Copy the log to your SD card & you will be able to read it...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joeyddr:
Mine wont connect to ad-hoc after the update just says saved... using beta 11 of wifi tether..
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Right after the update, when i tried to switch off my Comcast network to the wifi tether, it kept getting hung on connecting. Even turning wifi and off again still gave me just connecting. So i selected Comcast network and pressed the forget option. Then I selected the wifi tether and it worked. Now it works as normal even after switching back to Comcast network and entering info in again.

So try forgetting your previous main network then trying. You could also go into the your files using root explorer and check to make sure you have the new wpa_supplicant2 file. Check the properties for the date on it. It should be a newer recent date. Should only be 2 wifi files in there. If you still have the others from before, modded files, then it might be messing with something. Other thing is to try a different version of the wireless tether app.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] joeyddr:
still not working even with a diff version... wmy wpa2 is dated march29th.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Maxxd01:
Amazing. Works great on Nexus S.

Any recommendation against using it on my Nexus? I don't want to make any hardware damage!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
Zero chance of hardware damage.

If this works for anyone in any situation outside of this tablet, heck yes use it. Just always keep a backup of your original file.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Maxxd01:
I asked because it's a binary file, dont know what within :)

Thank you very much for your work. It's unbelievable that Google tried to trick us with that.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] icoolfla:
Ug

Ever since the update I've been having problems connecting to my wifi at home. When I tried to connect it just says saved but I have no internet connection. I can now see the android tether But I cannot connect to it. If I use the wep file given by locknload I can connect to android tether but then I cannot reconnect to my home network. When I try to reconnect to my home wifi it just says saved. Sometimes I can get it to work by turning wifi off then turning it back on or long pressing the home network then all the sudden it connects. This doesn't always work sometimes I have to forget my home network sometimes I have to forget android tether and sometimes that doesn't help at all. Does anyone have any idea what might be going wrong or any way to proceed from here. I am using a rooted transformer prime with a rooted photon 4 and wifi tether app. Everything was working fine before the update with the wep file given by lock and load.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fcortes626:
i can now use my phones 3g on my tablet thanls. one thing tho. after i did this when i touch the bottom left corner to bring up the menu on the prime i get a red border on my screen. is there any way to fix that?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ready2Mosh:
I just got a TF300 and it wouldn't connect to my phone via wifi tether, just to report this method also works on the TF300, I can now connect to my phone via wifi tether.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
Good to know, I will update the first post to reflect this
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ace42:
Sorry for bumping, but this post really helped me out. :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stewa2jm:
Am understanding this tether "fix" properly that I MUST have my tf300t rooted to get tether to work through my phone (Nexus S 4G - rooted)????
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
It would have to be rooted so you could modify the talked about file.

I can't speak to the tf300t needs to make tether work per se just that to do this mod & place the file you would have to be rooted to access that level of the system.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stewa2jm:
Well, doggone it! I haven't quite decided if I'll root or not and I've tried everything I can find to tether this beast to my Nexus S and got nothin'! Even tried a few of my own ideas.... the search continues!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Just saying, I never see the point in not rooting so long as you thoroughly research the process and do it correctly (my phone had to be manually rooted at the time, over adb - lots of room for error), and usually there's an app or one-click method or such that involve no effort and doesn't err all that much.

But even if you never fully utilize your root capabilities, I never see a point in not having them. It's reversible, allows you to use any apps, and lets you do small tweaks like this. Then again things can happen, but I've personally never permanently bricked a device although I've naturally had the fear.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bigjoe87865:
Are there any catches to this?....im about to root my new transformer just for this functionality, nothing else. Some one else said this worked for them as far as tethering to their phone goes..but since the hack he hasnt been able to connect to his work wifi..... can someone shed some light on this? Will everything wifi related work 100% after this hack...

Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] whycali:
Not to be rude but why are we talking about the T300 in here? you guys keep making me look at this thread thinking there is something I should know. Isnt there a t300 thread right over there>?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stewa2jm:
My reluctance is warranty. You say its reversible, but that is not true for this device (Asus tf300), at least as far as I can figure. I'm not worried I'll brick it but rather it will malfunction due to hardware problem and I get stuck with a broken device.

I've had zero problems with my rooted nexus s and I don't worry because I can relock the boot loader and unroot.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stewa2jm:
Because the tf300 thread that talks about tethering isn't helpful, this thread has been. This us true for me anyway.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gunz.jones:
You don't need an unlocked bootloader to root AFAIK. It does not void warranty as it can be reversed. Unlocking the bootloader does void warranty and it can be detected, unlike a software root. You can usually one click root and unroot, or reverse through adb commands. So, in summary, the only way you wouldn't be able to have it repaired under warranty unles YOU, the user, do something irreversible when playing around with things you don't fully understand.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] marquimsp:
Quick question:

I've done as explained in the first post, except that there was no wpa_supplicant2 in the System/Bin folder (just the wpa_supplicant file), maybe because I'm not using the stock ASUS rom? Now the tablet sees the AndroidTether connection, but doesn't connect to it.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

ps: Tried with wifi tether for root users, barnacle, disabled wep password, my tablet just won't connect.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] whycali:
fair enough
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gunz.jones:
I use WiFi tether with my Rezound and haven't had an issue. Some phones require use of a routing fix and to be masked as a nexus like this one. Try it out. I have seen the routing fix work on other models with ics user or manufacturer upgraded.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] marquimsp:
Thanks, I tried that but I guess my phone is too ancient (it's a mytouch 3g running android 2.3.4), nothing seems to work.

I suppose it's time to buy a new phone (oh, I'm so sad! :D:D:D:D:D:D)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gunz.jones:
Download foxfi. If the WiFi option doesn't work, try dun and get pdanet tablet in the market. You won't be able to download, but web browsing will work fine.

Can't find wpa_supplicant2 HTC one X

I'm using HTC one x and can't find wpa_supplicant2, my HTC is rooted and there is only wpa_supplicant in system/bin. I replaced it with that but wifi doesn't turn on than :(.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stewa2jm:
My NS4G is rooted and only has the wpasupplcant as well, no 2 file. I have yet to find a solution to tethering the TF300T without rooting it with my NS4G.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Only the TF201/300 should need the file correct? Or are the phones also not capable of ad-hoc at this time?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stewa2jm:
Ad-hoc does not fix the problem. The tablet just doesn't connect to my phone that way. I cannot change the file due to still being stock with no root permissions. I have been reluctant to root until I get a better feel for the device, I'm past my initial 30 days, or some xda genius works out a way to unroot and relock the bootloader. I'm just not ready to throw away my warranty. If only this beast was as easy to manage as my phone!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
??

I never understand this confusion. Root has absolutely nothing to do with the bootloader. You can root and unroot to your heart's content and keep your warranty; just don't unlock the bootloader. Think of root just as administrator privileges like in Windows, it's just a state of being for the user (state of permissions really). The bootloader is like the BIOS/UEFI of a Windows PC, it's locked so that they can say it's your fault if you unlock it and mess something software-related completely up.

And I would have thought since they re-introduced ad-hoc into the Prime's stock software that the rest of the Eee Pad line would also keep this functionality. You're on the latest update?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stewa2jm:
Don't get me wrong, although I may not be a programmer, I do have program experience and understand all you just said. I'm simply an "all or nothing" kind of guy. If I'm going to root I'm going to also unlock the bootloader. Like one person said in a thread I read yesterday, I like to have "god-like" control just because I can. I am also hesitant to just root the device because as I understand it I'll have to downgrade to .17 and that is where the biggest risk comes in.

With that said, I am on the lastest US .29 update. I am also seriously considering unlocking the bootloader, rooting, and flashing CM9 today. The only thing that would delay the inevitable of this process would be if I figured out a way to tether this beast!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bayba_x:
I did as guidance first-page on my Nook Tablet 8gb ( original Rom rooted ), but after i Restart it, It can't start anymore.

then after 8-times restart , the result is that it auto recovery to Factory

how can i receive wifi from ad-hoc conection ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] resinis:
YES, this is my problem too. trying for hours now, this is so frustrating. it used to work great just a few weeks ago, now it doesnt.

i connect to a wm6 phone in wifi tether mode. both my tf101 and my droidX with ics on it have the same problem. the wpa_supplicant file is from 2008 and i cannot connect to adhoc networks. it used to work great (and still works perfectly on my droid 1 with 2.3.7 on it)

EDIT_ fixed! i gave up and insdtalled a MIUI rom, wizard's Defx. http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/miui/46049-miui-defx-wizard0f0s.html

works great now. this is one kick ass rom too, so i guess all of this trouble was not in vein.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
people, post up if your ad hoc tethering is working on .28. post name of phone and app you using...or if its working or not
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
something happened between the builds. it broke my wifi tethering. also wifi analyzer would show ad hoc connection in red. if i tried to connect through there. it tells me android doesn't support this yet. I can go into regular settings into wifi and it'll see the signal and say saved. but when I press connect, it does nothing.

So I figured let me try this old method again of getting tether to work. well it worked. renamed the original wpa_supplicant2 file and added. bak at the end. then inserted the patched one (renamed of course) to system/bin. set permissions & my wifi tether is working again. Asus clearly did something, I'm not sure if it was on .28 or this test build, .28.5. but one of those broke my tethering abilities and reverted prime back to the old days..lol. so all in all, on this new test build, I had to use this method, in op, to get my tethering working again. SMH
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
My prime tells me there is no update available so I'm not yet on .28 so I cannot yet test if .28 broke it for me... go figure. If I ever get .28 - even tried forcing it to look for the update - I will report if .28 breaks adhoc again.

Either way at least this original hack can fix that issue thank God
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
actually, it might be best for you to manually update through Asus website. its a more complete update than the OTA. the OTA gave alot of people issues as incomplete ones came through. the. 28 update is there.

don't even worry about rooting. just update through ASUS website. after you update, let it boot into the OS into the homescreen. then immediately reboot tablet again. this will give your update best performance. this is what I do(as instructed by Asus) when I'm testing their new builds. after you on. 28, just use Sparky new tool to root.28. he modded vipernod tool. works on .21, .28, and the newer .28.5 build I've been testing.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
My Prime as well stopped seeing any updates after .21. Also every single reboot was met with an "update complete" message, so that's why I did the following.

I finally just updated, wiped, rooted, and restored from Titanium (after reverting to my old device id). Haven't been able to play with it much, but I can't believe it's still not 4.04.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DrMud:
Not working for me

ROOTED my TAB 7 Plus WiFi and followed the instructions. Once the new wpa_supplicant was installed I reset and when the wifi was started it flashed on and off. It would not connect or find networks. Double checked the permissions and they were corerect. I deleted the new supplicant and renamed the old. WIFI is working again on normal wifi but the adhoc I need is not there.

I have a POLAROID 701c I upgraded to ICS and it has always been able to see my NOKIA adhoc netowrk just fine. I wonder if the wpa_supplicant would work in the SAMSUNG?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] suquet.paul:
Doesn't work on Samsung Galaxy Nexus, JB Stock rom rooted. As a result, WiFi won't even turn on.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Yeah, ad-hoc is nerfed again on JB. This is how it is on my nexus 7. My solution is FoxFi. Search xda or google for it. They removed actual app from app store. Only the add on available there. Worked flawlessly on my rooted Atrix and now works perfect on my stock out the box SG3. My nexus 7 on jb and my note 10.1 picks up the tether signal well. Best thing, IMO, works on stock, non rooted and now I get 4g tethering speeds. SG3 4g is blazing fast.
