[Q] WLAN not working with usb-host? - HD2 General

So, as suggested here, i'll post my question in this thread - it's kinda lost already in here, but maybe some of the users from the thread i am not allowed to post to, will read this...
Using this [15.May.2012] NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.4-CM9-HWA V2.1 (Kernel: tytung_HWA_r2.3-uniMAC) rom, everything's working fine, wlan works, i can use ADB over Wifi to debug,...
now i am developing a app that uses usb-host, therefore i can flash the update from here [26 MAY] USB Host mode for HD2, and now i have to use adb over usb - as the usb-port does not support adb anymore in this mode. but the problem now is - i can enable wlan, i see the networks around, but i can't connect to my wlan anymore - nor any other wlan. once i flash back the backup i made, the phone boots and i can use wlan again... so there's a connection between flashing the usb-host.zip and wlan not working anymore...
so... to any people using this zip on their device - do you have the same problem, or can you still connect to a wlan after applying the usb-host.zip?

ah, nevermind, the usb-host.zip changed the kernel or something else that resulted ni a different wlan-mac-address -> no connection possible.
now it look's like there's no ftdi driver included, but i can not ask for those (already mentioned on page 11 in the usb-host thread) as i am not allowed to post here...
so... can anyone help me out, and copy my post over to the usb-host thread, or if any of the devs are reading this... i'd be very thankful for the mentioned lib_ftdi.so module...

USB Modem issues

Sorry for the noob question but I've tried searching this forum and can't find the answer. I've just purchased the Athena and am having troubles setting up my laptop (XP Pro) to use the Athena as a modem through USB. For some reason it doesn't recognize it as a modem. Are there certain drivers that I need to install. Thanks for any help and I am loving the new device, its a huge upgrade from my tytn.
how do you have it setup?
Is activesync running?
Have you activated ict on the athena and set it to usb?
Take a look at this link:
http://www.pdagold.com/articles/detail.asp?a=269
I found this link browsing thru _the_ repository for using your software on the PPC/Smartphone - Menneisyys!

Chances are, if you've ever had a problem figuring out how to use your PPC for something, Menneisyys have been there first - and then made a nice guide of it.

Disable WPA2 in WM 6.1 device

Hello to everybody. I tried to search this forums, but didn't find the solution.
Is it possible to disable WPA2 wifi authentication in windows mobile 6.1 device? I have issues with connecting to WPA2/AES network (device crashes to black screen). Manual setting to WPA/TKIP does not work, because it is overrided with WPA2/AES.
Some information here on the MSDN website:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa916274.aspx
There doesn't seem to be anything to disable WPA2 though
Thanks for the links. But after long time googling and reading some technical stuff, I am more and more convinced, that it is hardcoded into wifi drivers and it isn't possible to change it .
Better solution should be use of correct-WPA2-working driver, but I am neither programmer, nor experienced cooker to use driver from different type of WPA2-working device with same wifi chip.
EDIT: I found, that it crashes before showing of login dialog (PEAP auth), so that must be problem with WPA2 pre-authenication.

I have WPA2/AES working on my Kaiser with the (almost) stock 5.2.19212 ROM. I did update the WiFi driver in my kitchen though (TNETW1251.dll version 3.55, dated 10/06/2008). I have never had any issues with WPA2 though, even before I upgraded to WM6.1.

I have Vox and it crashes with every ROM, original & custom without difference. Mainboard replacement didn't solve this problem, so that must be software issue. Where did you get that updated TNETW1251.dll? Here I only found patched one for ICS.

I can't remember where I got it from originally - more than likely a post in the Kaiser ROM Development forum. I am not sure its the same driver on the VOX but here it is anyway (just delete the .zip extension).
Andy
Too bad, another driver for same wifi chip doesn't work (doesn't load on startup). Maybe because of different chipset. But thanks anyway.

[Request] Patch for enabling ad-hoc wifi networks in ROMs

Everyone,
This is my first "new thread" - and if I have it in the wrong section or it is a repeat - please forgive me. I have searched for this in the Sapphire forum and could not find a solution.
Basically, I use my office LAN connection as a net connection for my 32a Magic phone by creating an ad-hoc network and sharing the LAN connection. I have been successfully using that by following the instructions at http://modmygphone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22681 (which is applicable for all android phones, I guess). Ad-hoc networks are not enabled by default. The procedure requires changes in the "system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini" and "/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf" files.
Making these changes with the Magic touch screen keyboard is quite tedious.
My request is for ROM developers to:
a) Enable this in their ROMs by default (I guess everyone would benefit from enabled ad-hoc wifi); OR
b) If someone could create a patch that overwrites these files with modified variants that is easy to apply over ANY other ROM (would be useful for those who tend to change ROMs often )
Thanks!

Solution Wifi Android 2.2 Schlunds

I have no permissions to publish to HD Mini ROM Development, published the solution here.
I have the solution to put wifi in Android 2.2 of Schlunds, the problem is in the process "htcUPCTLoader.exe" not allowed to continue with the process.
The assignment of IP must be static, do not get the IP automatically
Here I leave kernel with the new install
TESTED ONLY WITH ANDROID 2.2 Schlunds
Sorry for my bad English
hey thanks man
maybe u will find a fix for derefas sd card fix too?
Does not work for me. The zImage and Module are exactly the same files I use.
The Problem ist not the htcUPCTLoader.exe process.
tzacapaca send me his working 2.2. image and it still dont work for me.
The reason must be something else...
Perhaps bootloader or startup.txt?

Or the Windows Mobile rom used?
After trying the Android images, I had a lot of GPS issues under WinMo (not working anymore). At the end it was fixed, but could it be that the WinMo roms can be of influence on Android?

I start to believe is this...i'm gonna use use Stock ROM and i will keep you posted if it will be any changes
nsourm has a dualbootloader in his ROM
Maybe its better to boot Android not from "within" WinMo.
Can someone test that?

In my case the prob was "htcUPCTLoader.exe" it was not allowing deamon to start..so i had to kill it and then run the run.bat file....
Can u try it this way..??..connecting the Mini with pc..running run.bat...after that killing htcUPCTLoader.exe process in task manager..and then running run.bat file again..??.... it might work....if not..then there's no harm done
I dont need to try. The kernel module file (*.ko) in the image is updated. So the problem (at least for me) is not adb push. must be something different.
Codiak, your not alone. I am also not able to turn WiFi on. Do you get Error when you go to the settings to turn it on? It's like its not picking up the WiFi on the mobile.
The only thing I changed was adding in the run.bat
Code:
taskkill / F / IM htcUPCTLoader.exe
On beginning of everything, to finish the process before starting the adb. I haven't touched anything of the files zImage and adb.exe

This is my system (android 2.2) running Wifi.

Its the same behavior as the fixed module was not installed.
If you tab Wifi, it just grays out and do nothing. No error message.
See, im on the standard ROM. And no matter what I try, I get the same.
Ok, so it not seem to be WiMo ROM related. I use a custom one.
So my last idea is the bootloader (haret)...
Okay everybody, I noticed something:
I could patch the bcm4329.ko file, after android booted. Now you have to restart android in order to enable wlan. Often it happend to me, that an error in the android wifi settings showed up. So I went back to windows mobile and checked my wifi setting there.
As I've also encountered the GPS problem, where one had to switch GPS on and off again in android to make it work in windows again I also tried it with wlan. Before I run haret, I switched off wlan in windows. Now android was able to initialize and start wlan.
Also it was not possible for me to enable wifi, if the usb cable was still connected to the phone before the first successful operation of wlan. Afterwards it surprisingly also worked with a connected cable. Since I'm at work now, I can not test wlan itself, as it is only possible to connect via DCHP here. This evening I'll try to do so with a static IP.
By the way, this dynamic vs. static IP thing is a common problem in froyo. You'll find a lot of discussions in the internet for other devices like samsung galaxy and so on.

It worked, mine no longer displays as error. But I dont have any WiFi's to connect to as im also at work. But it looks much more promising.
Just we need to start looking into getting the battery reconised by Android, having to go into Windows to charge my phone.

Dont work for me My Wifi in WiMo was allready off. I changed it to on and booted Android = no luck. Rebooted to WiMo and disabled Wifi and booted Android again = no luck.
Did you get a error message before while switchig wifi on in android? I do not get a message. it just grays out

Unfortunately there wasn't any precise error message. As you said it only was greyed out with "Fehler" (error) written below the wlan switch. It's strange that there still isn't any solution working for everyone.
For me, no "Fehler" came up. Just grayed out. Same behavior like I never applied the patched module. But i can see the patched .ko file in the phone
I´m using tzacapaca patched ext2 file that works for him...

Fixing a broken Switch. Wifi BCM4356

Hello folks
Here's an idea.
My schwitch doesn't boot and gets stuck.
I have tried android and i can boot it everything works except the wifi.
After i swap the chip the wifi still doesn't work.
While searching for the error I found out that you have to program the chip.
Can someone please post the dump you have according to these instructions?
https://www.cypress.com/file/298136/download
This may save many Switches without the need of a donor Board. Just need to write the OTP Memory so the BCM4356 is configured properly.
You will get better support over on gbatemp.
Using Droid Info i read out my sys Info. There is a point "WIFI:Yes"
I have installed Terminal info to get some more infos.
Using the command lspci i was able to get the device id: class 0280: 14e4:4354
here are some opensorce drivers for the 4354
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
As you can see the Wifi is not broken or cant be found. It is there but i need to find how to debug the wifi what is really going on.
because if I dumpsys it show me in CHipset information
Version is: null
driver version: null
Im a newbi on android. Maybe someone can me give some options/help.
Can you join the discord, I can discuss there (link is on the twitter bio)
I am in similar situation. I was running 9.1 Atmosphere and everything was working fine. I used the homebrew app to update atmosphere rather than downloading on my computer manually updating. I honestly knew better but did it anyway. Atmosphere supposedly updates, reboots, I inject my payload, hangs on switch logo.
android: No wifi. bluetooth works fine
Ubuntu: no wifi
Downgraded switch to 5.x.x. No Wifi, bluetooth ok
Restore backup of 9.x.x: boot hangs on switch logo
downgrade again and start updated 1 version at a time. eventually find that every version works(no wifi) until I go to 9.x
So Im stuck on 8.x.x with no wifi and no gamecard slot (switch was on 9.x before I modded)
GBAtemp suggested that my BCM or a component near it could be damaged and I do have the tools to open it but my gut tells me this is a software issue not a hardware issue.
OP If you are able to run android but not Horizon/Atmo I used this to downgrade:
https://switch.homebrew.guide/usingcfw/manualchoiupgrade
Also included picture from me trying to see the wireless card via terminal in ubuntu but I am terrible with linux so I dont know how to do much without instruction
