[Q] Connect WildFire to AdHoc - can't find file : tiwlan.ini

Hello,
First I'd like to tell that i'm a newbie with Android's Phone, I had Windows Phone until now. I have some light Linux knowledges. So be gentle and easy with Android and Linux technical terms
So, here is my problem : I tried to connect to an Ad Hoc Wifi Network but it doesn't work. It seems to be a known issue for a long time in android community and some solutions exists.
One of these solutions I found is to edit the file : /system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini
and modify :
Code:
WiFiAdhoc = 1
dot11DesiredSSID = HTCG1Default
dot11DesiredBSSType = 0
So, I rooted my Phone (with SoftRoot), I used ADB, but the file tiwlan.ini don't seems to be present on my device in the folder it should be.
My questions are : Is it normal for Wildfire that this file is not here? Is the location of the file different on Wildfire ? Is there another solution for Wildfire to connect AdHoc Wlan?
Here are some informations on my device :
HTC Wildfire A3333
Firmware version : 2.1 update1
Baseband version : 13.45.55.24H_3.35.15.31
kernel version : 2.6.29-4266b2e1
htc-kernel and18-2 #1 (May 19 2010)
Build Number : 1.14.163.1 CL183733
Soft Number : 1.14.163.1
Browser version : WebKit 3.1
Thanks for interest you will give to my request.

The same happens to me.
Would appreciate a solution.
Thank You

I'm trying to do the same and I don't have this file. Anyone with a Wildfire succeded to connect to an ad hoc connection?
I don't really understand why Android shouldn't be able to connect to ad hoc connection. Are the developers dumb or what?

You will have to re-add "ap_scan=2" every now and then, Android stubbornly removes it.
Code:
echo "ap_scan=2" >> /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
works fine for that purpose.

I've got a tablet branded "Goclever" (T70) with Android 2.2. Rooted it successfully. Tried to make it working in ad-hoc mode but there is no tiwlan.ini on my system (searched it throughout). Tried the method mentioned in the post above, but but no success.
Any ideas, pls ?
Piotr

Wildfire doesn't use tiwlan.ini. Only devices having a TI wifi chip uses it, and Wildfire has a BCM chip.

My device (Goclever T70) does not seem to use tiwlan.ini either.
What to do than? What changes to which config files should be applied in order to make adhoc wifi work?

Customize your firmware

For Bada 2.0
To enable (or disable) some fonction directly from firmware.
Extract CSC with tool (WaveRemaker), go to CSC\SystemFS\Settings\PreConfiguration\Default\NV
Open nv_original.ini
To change browser's user agent add this command: NV_SI_UAGENT=the user agent you want to use
Exemple:
NV_SI_UAGENT=Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 4.0.3; fr-fr; GT-I9000 Build/IML74K) AppleWebKit/535.7 (KHTML, like Gecko) CrMo/16.0.912.75 Mobile Safari/535.7
You also can active others, like:
- Battery percentage => NV_SI_BATTERY_PERCENTAGE_ENABLE =1
- Disable Mode vibrate => NV_SI_MODE_VIBRATE=0
etc.
The file after looks like that
#Version
Version=1
#NvId
NV_SI_ADM_PRE_CONFIGURATION=0
NV_SI_MODE_VIBRATE=0
NV_SI_BATTERY_PERCENTAGE_ENABLE =1
NV_SI_UAGENT=Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 4.0.3; fr-fr; GT-I9000 Build/IML74K) AppleWebKit/535.7 (KHTML, like Gecko) CrMo/16.0.912.75 Mobile Safari/535.7

After modifying, rebuild the CSC and flash your wave.
There are a lot of other things, to see all actions, plug your wave to computor, run Stune and open Settings/Default/NV/nv_default.ini
If you find interresting things, thanks for making your feedback

What works?
- NV_SI_MODE_VIBRATE=0
Vibrate is disabled
- NV_SI_BATTERY_PERCENTAGE_ENABLE =1
Battery % is enabled
- NV_SI_PHONE_SLEEP=600
Backlight time (15s, 30s by default, 60s, 180s, 600s)
- NV_SI_UAGENT=
Browser user agent you want
- NV_SI_NETWORK_DATA_ROAMING=1
Roaming is enabled
- NV_SI_USE_PACKET_DATA_ENABLE=1
Packet data is enabled
- NV_SI_MOTION_SHAKE=0
- NV_SI_MOTION_TILT=0
-NV_SI_MOTION_TURN_OVER=0
- NV_SI_MOTION_SHAKE=0
Motions are disabled because I never use them lol
- NV_SI_LCD_CONTRAST=13
To adjust brightness, 15 by default (set 5 on wave). If you want 3, put 13, etc
Some other interesting do not work (Fake call, light sensor, Wifidirect, etc)
Is there a list of all NV_SI available??

NV_SI
Here's a complete list of NV_SI items.

"After modifying, rebuild the CSC and flash your wave."
Is the 'rebuild' just saving the file as uncompressed CSC?
Can I then choose the new CSC file when flashing or is there something else I need to do before flashing?
Thanks!

Maybe Font path... for easier Fontchange...
Code:
NV_SI_FONT_TYPE_DEFAULT_FILE=/SystemCSC/Font/Samsung font.ttf
NV_SI_FONT_TYPE_FILE=/SystemCSC/Font/Samsung font.ttf
Maybe Product Code change...
Not tried yet.
But I think their are few more usefull settings possible.
As some differences in bada 2.0 Firmware... since bada 1.x...
Best Regards

I wonder if it is possible to update this thing without losing any data
I already tried with Stune with no success
Can anyone post possible paths of such a file ?
Maybe i missed one of those
Thanks in Advance
Best Regards
Edit : I see these files only
/Settings/Default/NV/nv_default.ini
/SystemFS/Settings/PreConfiguration/Default/NV/nv_original.ini
/NV/nv_default.ini
I remember a table of NV items with addresses posted on another thread i'll look into it
Edit 2 : NV items table posted by Rebellos
Here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21377672&postcount=10
And Here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19746682&postcount=28
Edit 3 : NV items addresses in hex-decimal format are attached for faster investigation

NV/nv_default.ini
This is hidden folder...
NV means NV items. You can also reach them, if you know ID via Qualcomm Tools.
But this config list seems easier.
Yes, in theory maybe with Multiloader it could be to flash only such text file to change NV item.
But no idea how...
I'm new to Samsung.
Only 1 year experience.
Maybe someone else has experience with Qualcomm models from Samsung and know how to change NV items in other way, without dataloss and without Qualcomm Tools...
Best Regards
Edit 1.
No idea if possible to change this file... with effect and no dataloss... never tried
NV/nv_default.ini
---------- Post added at 09:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 AM ----------
NV_SI_OPERATOR_SALES_CODE=KOR
I am not sure as I have very often flashed then used Preconfig...
Sometimes it seems. Product Code is changed from Firmware Flashing...
Maybe it is possible to use Multiloader in this case, to change Product Code...
Need to be confirmed.
Best Regards

congratulations very good idea.

It works but I need to figure out a way to list 8 secs in the menu as well because in case I switch to 15secs I do not have the option to switch back to 8secs. Any thoughts?

Just don't change of settings
Or you will have to add a setting to the concerned file of the settings menu.
And I have no idea how to do this. I even wonder whether it is possible...

How to delete operator name on notification bar?

Very good.
Thanx lasentenza
I will now use these:
Code:
NV_SI_BATTERY_PERCENTAGE_ENABLE =1
NV_SI_PHONE_SLEEP=600
NV_SI_MODE_VIBRATE=0
Maybe someone found more usefull settings?
And maybe someone know how to flash this with Multiloader?
I mean only the NV items ?
Maybe as ETC in Multiloader?
nv_original.ini

NV items edit with a flash to overwrite old files doesn't change NV items for real
It just replace the files with newer ones
Sorry you have to do a full flash with newer CSC file to get it working

[1.Jun.2012][Dev] Real/Unique WiFi MAC address patch [Kernel: tytung_HWA_r2.5]

June 1:
Release tytung_HWA_r2.5 which supports the real WiFi and Bluetooth MAC addresses (i.e. the same MAC you see on WinMo) for all MAGLDR, cLK, and WinMo SD users.
(Credits go to Franck78, Rick_1995 and Marc1706)
May 26:
Please visit the Tytung UNIMAC kernel debugging thread for more developments.
May 22:
Bring back the real WiFi MAC address for WinMo users using Clrcad & Haret to boot SD build.
Now WinMo SD users get the real WiFi MAC address (i.e. the same WiFi MAC address you see on WinMo).
NAND (MAGLDR and cLK) and MAGLDR SD boot users get the new unique WiFi MAC address to avoid the collisions.
Download HTCLEO-Kernel_2.6.32-ics_tytung_HWA_r2.4-uniMAC-update.zip
P.S.: r2.4 also fixes the USB Tethering.
May 9:
A new kernel with unique WiFi MAC address patch which solves an old bug: WiFi MAC address collisions.
Full credit to Franck78 for the fix.
With this tytung_HWA_r2.1-uniMAC kernel, WiFi/Bluetooth MAC address is really unique now.
Since the WiFi MAC address changes, you may need to modify the white list (filter) of your wireless router after flashing this kernel.
Download HTCLEO-Kernel_2.6.32-ics_tytung_HWA_r2.1-uniMAC-update.zip

its ok for my
WiFi/Bluetooth MAC address is really unique now.

Fix it yourself... You should at least insert the ramdisk (initrd.gz) of the CM9 nightly rom since they have changed the name of the wlan interface..

Working well
Keep it up Tytung

Thanks Tytung. From the little I understand of code, this does not use the phone's original MAC address (the one we get with Windows) but randomizes the sid1, sid2, sid3 parts using the IMEI and the mobile operator's CID. So the MAC address will change if I use a different operator's SIM card, am I correct?

Yes, we can only get the phone's original MAC address when using haret.exe on WM.
IMEI is unique in every phone.
Is CID related to the phone or the SIM card?
I need to do some studies.

In GSM, CID usually denotes the Cell ID - a unique ID given to each cellular base station (signal tower, if I may) of a GSM service provider. Needless to say, this value will change based on the service provider and the phone's location. The same location can have more than one CID, as the service provider may have multiple base stations covering densely populated areas to handle the capacity, or on areas that falls in the coverage of more than one base station.
Other codes that are tied to SIM card are MCC and MNC - Mobile Country Code (Unique code to identify the country of the service provider) and Mobile Network Code (Unique code to identify the service provider itself). MCC will not change unless you go to different company and roam on a different network. MNC will change within the country as the same service provider may have more than one MNC (maybe for capacity or because of takeovers/ acquisitions of other service providers), and will change if there is a possibility of roaming within the country.

manual entry?
just curious, is there any way we, as users, could enter our original MAC address manually if we already know what it is, so that we wouldnt have to constantly change our white lists?
and on a side note(pls dont yell at me), can our phone numbers be entered into sys info manually also to be able to use apps that try to pull that info but cant find it, such as PTT apps?

i guess it would be even possible to include it in the aroma setup (read a config-file on sd or enter it manually). that would be a great option and if nothing is enter the imei+cid calculation should be done.

OK. This CID is not what you said.
According to the email that Franck78 sent me when we discussed the new unique MAC address, CID is Customer ID.

You don't need to constantly change the white list because WiFi MAC address will be a fixed value.
AFAIK, some SIM card stores the phone number, and others don't.
That is why someone cannot see the phone number in "About phone" -> "Status" -> "My phone number".
Maybe you could try My Phone Number app to set the correct phone number into your SIM card.

In some sense roms wifi mac address is stored in /system/etc/calibration file so you can put any wifi mac address you want easily.In non sense roms the value is stored in /proc/calibration so we cant edit this file but there is a way to have our original wifi mac address or any wifi mac address we want. it re-directs /proc/calibration file in /system/etc/calibration so we can put our wifi mac address
look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22799467#post22799467 post 38 and 39
i didnt try it in newer kernels but i think it will work because wifi mac in newer kernels it is also stored in /proc/calibration
Edit
It works for tytung kernel r2.1 unimac and ics rom aokp 35 installed via clk 1.5.this time i gave the command cat /proc/calibration > /system/etc/calibration from the rom with a terminal emulator and then i edited /system/etc/calibration and 13modules file instead of 01modules with solid explorer

Ok.. so here is what I did. I doubted if the CID is something related to (or is) the IMSI. Hence I used a SIM from a different service provider to see if the MAC changes - it didn't. So looks like the CID is not dependent on the SIM card or the service provider or the current Cellular Base Station . That clears my initial question, and looks like it doesn't expand to Customer ID after all (blind guess, as it has nothing to do with me - the customer )
I then tried to get into cLK (1.5) and see if "fastboot getvar cid" works - it didn't, all I am getting is a blank response. So not sure if CID is actually being looked up and cLK does not have the ability to display it, or not looked up at all. I did not want to try writing a CID in my phone, as I am not sure if that is a part of how cLK/ HD2 works. I dont think fastboot commands work in Magldr (too long since I used it!), so not sure if this can even be tried there.
I remember reading somewhere that HSPL unlocks the CID in our devices - does that mean they do not exist, I dont know. But as long as we have enough Unique MAC addresses there is nothing to bother, I guess

That's awesome! Do you happen to know if there is something similar for Bluetooth MAC too?

Ι searched for it and found out that bt address is stored in /sys/module/board_htcleo/parameters/bdaddr
so i tried in terminal emulator
cat /sys/module/board_htcleo/parameters/bdaddr > /system/etc/bdaddr
then i go to /system/etc and found bdaddr file.I open it and changed to my bt address
Then in /system/etc/init.d/13modules file i add the line
mount -o bind /system/etc/bdaddr /sys/module/board_htcleo/parameters/bdaddr and then save and reboot
and it work

Just to be safe and sure what should i use to flash this kernel?

How Do I Change "WAP" Settings ?

I have gone over the problems people have had with " WiFi Tether " on this device and have deduced it down to the WAP ( wifi access points ) settings. I can't for the life of me figure out how to change the settings though. When connected to the computer via wifi, FoxFi will give and error on connection of " limited access ". FoxFi will work on all my phones but this model ( even the new LG Nexus 5 ). If anyone can give me some directions on changing the WAP settings to allow WAP2 on this device please post as soon as possible....Thank you.....
* DEVELOPERS, PLEASE PUT A FIX FOR THIS IN YOUR ROMS THANKS IN ADVANCE!!
