I found a simple way to change wi-fi MAC address on Ace. Only watch you needed is Root Explorer. Follow this instruction:
1. If your wi-fi is on turn it off
2. Open Root Explorer and go to the /data folder
3. Find and select via long touch the file .nvmac.info
4. Use the option "Open in Text Editor"
5. Change the MAC address to the what you want (I suggest to insert the letters as big characters).
6. Touch the menu button and select "Save & Exit"
7. Torn on you wi-fi and connect to the preferred network. You Ace should connect to the network witch the new MAC address
Note! This change aren't permanent, when you reboot you phone the MAC address goes back to the original. Only test on CyanogenMOD, but working on other rom's based on CM. Not tested on stock rom's and other custom rom's (if you can test it on stock rom's or stock based rom's and it works tell my I will include this information to the post). Use at own risk.
What is the practical use, may I know? Does it help clear timed downloads?
Why change your mac address?

Well it helps me change to a MAC address that my college Wifi recognises, i can even connect using my phone (i.e. my laptop registered with them)
This+TransProxy made my day
ok i don't know about you but if this tutorial ends up as a means to perform MAC spoofing, the user will end up on the wrong side of the law. Be warned.
Can i use laptop mac address?
satti8893 yes, why do think that you can't?
ok how about this.. any way to retrieve the list of wifi passwords your device has stored?

Hhh too simple for noob to do these. Wlan admin mostly aware and deploy wpa2 than mac address based security.

don't be so sure. some home users don't even enable authentication OTA from their access points and some just enable MAC filtering.
fyi, encryption results in a degeneration of the 2.4Ghz radio signal to a limited extent. As a result, some people resort to broadcasting in open and only using MAC filtering.

No such file in CyanoGenMod v10 (but I have an Asus EEE Transformer). I did a search within all directory structure: it is not there .
So this system is not valid for any CyanoGenMod ROM.

I've been trying to connect to my university Wifi (eduroam) for quite a while now- but having no luck at all. Is there anything special I need to do to get this working? Really need wifi on my htc hero while im at uni Help please.
may i ask what uni?
wifi helper on the market should be able to configure it although i couldn't get it to work with my hero. so ive JUST configured the wpa_supplicant.conf manually for eduroam at UCL...
since im not on campus atm i will report back results tomorrow to see if it works

Hahh!! Im UCL too!
university shouldn't matter, eduroam is a multi-university service
it certainly worked on my hero, though I can't check that now (don't work there any more)
security wpa (or wpa2, can't remember) enterprise, eap PEAP, subtype MSCHAPv2
ok ive got eduroam to work
you will need to download the GTE CyberTrust Global Root certificate in pem format ( i have renamed it to eduroamcert.pem below)
these are the settings for wpa_supplicant i have used to get it to work:
Code:
network={
ssid="eduroam"
proto=WPA
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
pairwise=TKIP
group=TKIP
eap=TTLS
phase2="auth=PAP"
anonymous_identity="[email protected]"
identity="[email protected]"
password="XXXXXX
ca_cert="/sdcard/eduroamcert.pem"
priority=3
}
doesnt matter what priority you use.

forgot to mention XXXX for identity is not ur email alias, rather what you use to log in, in the computer rooms

Hiya,
Sorry for the insanely late reply lol- have been busy with coursework- hence not being able to come here often. Only been trying to follow your instructions here to get eduroam working on my Hero...but I'm struggling.
Can you please tell me how I install the GTE cybertrust cert into my hero?? Ive downloaded the file....it d'loaded as a zip file. Do I extract it...then move it to the hero sd card??
And to access wpa_supplicant i need to use the windows command window while the htc is hooked up with my pc in recovery mode right?? and then I write in the code you showed me?
hi mate, dont worry about all the stuff above, you dont need it to connect to eduroam. just follow the instructions here (obviously with your own uni's settings and not oxfords):
http://www.oucs.ox.ac.uk/network/wireless/services/eduroam/android/
Eduroam networks generally use the recommended EAP-TTLS/PAP as authentification, which is not supported by the GUI utilities. It is true that some places (Oxford is amazingly good with their network services) offer alternatives like PEAP/MSCHAP precisely because mobile devices are often lacking other options. It all depends on your local network setup.
I just got back to Cambridge, and Eduroam works fine with an Orange Hero.
Go to wifi settings:
EAP Type = PEAP
Sub Type = PEAPc0/MSCHAPv2
Username = CRSID email address (ie. [email protected]) - NB Case sensitive
Password = Network token available from https://tokens.csx.cam.ac.uk/ (need to log in with Raven to this page)

It would be interesting to know where to find this wpa_supplicant thing, so I could edit it.
My university uses same GTE_CyberTrust_Global_Root protocol with eduroam. I've tried PEAPv0/MSCHAPv2 didn't worked.

i think what you think of is EAP-TTLS (the GTE_.. is just a CertificationAuthority, if i am not wrong). as it was said, you can edit the wpa_supplicant file, somewhere in /data/etc/wifi/, if remember correctly. you could also wait for the 2.1 update, which will bring native support for this EAP-type which works very well.

I've HTC Desire, so I believe it's already runing 2.1. Though it connects to eduroam, but web pages and other stuff doesn't work.
Had Nokia and iPhone, both automatically downloaded all security stuff connecting first time.. and Android OS has some strange issues with eduroam wi-fi.
Here is a fix realmb.com/2010/01/android-certificate-installer/ you can install any security certificate using this to Android 1.6 and above.
Soz to dig up an old thread but I think it's relevent..
I've been trying to get my hero (T-mob G2) onto eduroam for ages, and I wanted to make the additions to wpa_supplicant but I don't know how to get access to the file system - I only seem to be able to mount the sdcard and not anything higher. I haven't rooted my phone.. is this why?
Thanks for any help :/

Umm yes. You must root first, and then remount using adb remount for this to work.
Easiest way is to install a custom ROM on your phone, as that will give you root
adhoc connectivity worked on galaxy s2
this trick found from another thread
you need a rooted phone & root explorer
1. Unzip the file attached here (wpa_supplicant.zip) and send wpa_supplicant to your phone.
2. Using Root Explorer go to the folder were you save it (wpa_supplicant) and copy the file.
3. Using Root Explorer, enter the /system folder and press the Mount W/R button (upper right corner)
4. Now go to /system/bin and backup your current wpa_supplicant, and paste the new one.
5. Set permissions to wpa_supplicant like attached picture, then go back to /system and press Mount R/O (upper right corner, so you leave everything exactly like it was) and reboot. Done. Enjoy AD-HOC!
Thanks for the patch, but before you get banned by some moderator, please remove your first attachment. It's a paid app/ WAREZ.
Root Explorer is paid. Don't post it.
Tested & working on sgs 2! Thx man!
I can see the ah hoc network established from my laptop now.. but when I try to connect, it stays in a state "Obtaining IP address" .. so cannot access internet anyway .. Is there any workaround? Thanks.
Thanks dude
excellent, previously i was using connectify to connect my phone to Laptop but the signal strength was so poor and also after few mins it is used to go down. Now got rid of the problem using this file.
Thanks again

it worked for me.
I replaced this file. This step is important:change the WPA to WEP encryption mode on PC. AD-hoc is ok using my SII I9100 mobile.Pls to try it. tks.
still not for me despite the wep ad-hoc network created from the mac.

i have a tablet running android 2.3.3 rooted with superoneclick...i follow the instractions to copy paste the wpa_supplicant using root explorer.but when i open my wifi shows false and my table restarts.what i do wrong...i am lucky that i made copy of the original file
I´m actually able to see network but not to connect to it, any advise??
I take it this is not ICS / CM9 compatible ??
Galaxy S II
CF rooted stock 2.3.6
Working in free and WEP modes.
But there were problems with WinXP configuration.
(In wifi network first have myself to connect to created adhoc network, only then phone sees adhoc network)
Galaxy Note's WIFI VERY unstable after replacing wpa_suppliant.
I wanted to connect my galaxy note to my iPad's Mywi for wifi (ad hoc) connection.
Thus i did the following steps:
- root galaxy note using zergrush
- downloaded xda's replacement wpa_suppliant
- downloaded root explorer
- uploaded the replacement wpa_suppliant file to the phone and replaced the original one at /systems/bin
After this, my phone was able to connect to iPad's Mywi, BUT connection is VERY unstable and gets disconnected every 5-10mins. Also it takes really long to get it connected back, like about 10-15mins for it to try to get connected.
I've tried re-doing the WHOLE of the steps above, INCLUDING re-rooting my phone, but to no avail. My Wifi function was working perfectly fine prior to this.
Can some kind souls out there please advice me if I've done anything wrong in my steps? Or if there's any way to solve this (WITHOUT re-doing it back to the original)? thanks!
Hi! Recently I bought the Galaxy W equipped with GB 2.3.6 and yesterday I installed the latest january's firmware upgrade.
Did anybody try to install the modified wpa_supplicant into that device?
Thank you!
Antonio
Set permissions to wpa_supplicant like attached picture? Which permissions? Can you upload that pic again or just tell us what to mark, owner group others? read write execute? And from special permissions: Set UID, Set GID, Sticky?
By default at my stock wpa_supplicant permissions are set and marked like: Owner=mark at read, write and execute, Group=mark at read and execute,
Others=mark at read and execute. None of special permissions are marked.
Should it be the same for new copied wpa_supplicant or?
Thanks in advance...
Just one little question here. I hope someone takes time to answer it. I have been around reading about adhoc this and adhoc that. But what I wanna know if these methodes that enable adhoc functionality, allow 2 mobile devices to get connected to each other. I mean like between 2 SGSII not between a PC and a SGSII?
Like making one of the SGSIIs the center and the other client (or infrastructure or whatever it's called)?? Is this possible with all these adhoc enablers?
Can't turn Wi Fi on after using the file from OP.

Hello.
As many of us know GingerDX and other ROMS has issues with Eduroam connections across the world. Fortunately ex-xda? user holgerg123 found the solution to this problem. Thanks mate!
You could read this here.
I've made Clockworkmod scripts to make installation easier.
There's 4 versions (for me works the 1st one)
Version 1
Version 2
Version 3
Version 4
and file for those, who screwed something
Original wpa_supplicant from GingerDX v022
Rapidshare mirror
Installation:
1. Disable wifi, open Root Explorer or similar app, go to system/bin and rename wpa_supplicant to eg. wpa_suplicant.old
2. Download file
3. Put it into sd-card
4. Reboot to CWM
5. Install downloaded update
6. Reboot!
And you should be able to connect to your University's network.
And remember that you could brick your phone as always. You have been warned.

Sent from my E15i using xda premium
It's the type of network used in many universities and high schools across the world. It uses PEAP/MSCHAP2 security and unfortunately GingerDX was not able to connect properly. This fix gives you ability to have free wifi Internet on your university (of course if you are in eduroam's range )

Is it necessary to use CWM?
Not enough if I simple copy the wpasupplicant file to system/bin directory?

You can of course also manually replace the files instead of flashing through CWM!
Just don't forget that the phone has to be rooted, you need to use a File Manager capable of gaining root rights (Root Explorer, Root Browser) to write into /system, you need to adjust the permissions of the file you copied.
it works =)

i'm not found this problem in my university..
n i dont know different beatwen wifi b/g or n
Oh, god! Thank you very much for this fix! I spent at least one or two weeks looking for ROMs that allowed me to connect to Eduroam networks. I found out that MiniCM7 based ROMs worked great, so I started using GingerXperiaRay.
But now, I've flashed GingerDX and I'm so... so... happy!
By the way, this is my feedback:
Version 1: the only one working for me.
Version 2: it didn't seem to connect Eduroam networks. I don't know if it even could connect any random network.
Version 3: I got 'Error' in my Wi-Fi settings.
Version 4: this file seems to be the same than the original one (same MD5 checksum).

android 4 + 802.1x?

MSCHAPV2
CA-Cert: not needed (the admin's answer to my question)
User-Cert: no

since i've got android 4 on my SGS2 it doesn't work any more. (a friend of mine has got an iphone - he has not got any problem with that)
i don't want to flash my phone back to android 2
now it's rooted and flashed with RomMIX_byRush_ICS.4.0.3_XXLP4
i've spend hours and hours to find a solution for this problem (google, PocketPc.ch, xda-developers.com, ...) but couldn't.

Hello all,
Since the release of android 4.x it was impossible to connect to some networks 802.1x PEAP (like EDUROAM).
The French internet provider FREE has recently published a rom for SGS2, which solves this problem.
So, I try to extract the wpa_supplicant binary from this rom and inject it in CM9 on my Galaxy S, and now everything work.
The wpa_supplicant binary file is here https : // docs . google . com / open?id=0B1rR4JYQ9hnGVy13SnZqZGVCYmM (sorry but i can't post an url, because of spam system, delete space), if some people want to try on other device, just copy it in /system/bin/

PS: Sorry for my english...
Hey guys,
I installed the version 1 and at the end of the process, when I turn up the Wi-Fi, it gets me "Error" and i'm not able to use the Wi-Fi.
I also tried the version 4 but the problem persists.
How should I do?
Thanks.

Try other versions. If not, go back to original WiFi supplicant.
In the CMW Recovery, should I click on "Install update from zip" or on "Install zip from SD card" ?
Maybe I do something wrong..
Hey guys. I know I'm new here and it's probably been answered somewhere, but I can't find it. Here goes - One of the WLAN networks I use most is protected by MAC filter. Yes, it's necessary. The thing is everytime I flash a new ROM I need to change MAC address in network configuration. Is there anything I can do to keep/set a constant MAC? A script or something?
My kernel is the latest Dorimanx kernel 6.4.

I remember reading a thread where one guy had 2 HD2's and they both had the same ROM on it. And he wasnt able to connect both HD2s to his router because the router only would accept one MAC address. It wouldnt accept two mac addresses of the same value. I remember him being successful in changing the mac of one of them. But i went back to page 18 and couldnt find it again. Im trying to search but i cant find it -.-
EDIT: Found the thread,
use a root browser to change wifi mac address.I recommend root browser lite.Go to /system/etc/ folder.Find and open for editing the file "calibration" and in the first line you will see the wifi mac address.Put another one,save the file and you`re ready to go

But we are on CM7 not sense. So i found this but i havent tried it as i have no need. I havent found anything else so i hope that works.
(that's not what he means, i don't think, , i think he already knows how to change teh mac, but wants a script he can run once when he changes rom so that he always has the same mac for every rom, without having to manually edit it every time, something like provxml did for winmo.)

Hi All,
I've noticed in android O wifi passwords are not stored in /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf anymore. It's handy to back them up or recover long back saved networks.
Anyone have a clue where are them now?
Thanks a lot.

Try searching with a file explorer for the name of one of those folders or files and see if anything shows up. Other than that, I don't know as I'm still on nougat.

Nougat is still as it was from ics or even before I think.
Also in O the file is there at the same path, and it contains the same header as it does in android 7.* and before (some configuration stuff). What is not in the file is the list of all known networks and their password.

If I hit known network in android wifi options I can see all my previously stored wifi. Everything works perfectly. If I add new networks they will be added with no issues and remembered for ever and ever. (and obviously will not be added to the file). It is like this list is just somewhere else now on the phone.
I am waiting to see any apps that use the new location but I haven't found any. I have notified the developer of the app I use of the change but he has yet to release an update.
Essentially if you upgrade your phone to Android Oreo it will migrate the wpa_supplicant.conf to /data/misc/wifi/WifiConfigStore.xml.
That is the new file. The Wifi Password apps read the wpa_supplicant.conf which will still exist, however, any new connections made will be stored in the WifiConfigStore.xml file meaning that the Wifi Password apps won't "see" the new connections.
Worse yet, If you did a reset of your phone and you are starting from scratch you will only be able to get that information from the WifiConfigStore.xml file.
All is not lost, since you most likely have root for the apps to get that data in a nice gui, it means that you access that file directly (via a root explorer file manager) to see your connections and passwords.
Hey guys,
so I created an app that should help.

I am waiting to see any apps that use the new location but I haven't found any. I have notified the developer of the app I use of the change but he has yet to release an update.
Essentially if you upgrade your phone to Android Oreo it will migrate the wpa_supplicant.conf to /data/misc/wifi/WifiConfigStore.xml.
That is the new file. The Wifi Password apps read the wpa_supplicant.conf which will still exist, however, any new connections made will be stored in the WifiConfigStore.xml file meaning that the Wifi Password apps won't "see" the new connections.
Worse yet, If you did a reset of your phone and you are starting from scratch you will only be able to get that information from the WifiConfigStore.xml file.
All is not lost, since you most likely have root for the apps to get that data in a nice gui, it means that you access that file directly (via a root explorer file manager) to see your connections and passwords.
