I recently purchased an AR Drone from Parrot, and am trying to connect it to my EVO (rooted, running MikFroyo 4.5). It seems that the EVO cannot recognize the ad-hoc network that the Drone broadcasts. Is there a ROM or kernel that I could use to allow it to detect an ad hoc wifi network?
I'd rather not apply an infrastructure patch to my brand new drone, instead just messing with the phone I mess with all the time. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Answered my own question
Well, I just answered my own question, and figured I'd share with everyone else. I just tested this at my local Brookstone store (I'm friends with the store manager) and was able to fly theirs as well as my own.
From what I've done, the process to make any ROM Ad-Hoc compatible is pretty simple, although you do need adb.
First step, go into a command window, and with your phone connected to your computer run "adb shell wpa_supplicant -v".
This will spit out some information regarding the wpa security measures in place on your particular ROM. What we are looking for is the set of numbers it shows.

See where it says 0.5.11? That's what we want. It could also show 0.6.xx. Either way, that determines which of these zip files you should flash onto your phone. After it is flashed, your phone will be able to recognize and connect to Ad-Hoc networks, they will be displayed in the WiFi setting menu as (*)NETWORK_NAME.
If you are showing a 0.5.xx number download the file "wpa_adhoc-signed.zip"
If you are showing a 0.6.xx number download the file "wpa6_adhoc-signed.zip"
Last second notes: This works on ALL phones and ALL ROMs, you do need to check the wpa_supplicant data on each phone and ROM, it is usually different per unique setup. Also, the app I used to fly the Parrot AR.Drone is free, it is called AR.Pro Lite and is on the Android Market for any phones that are already Ad-Hoc capable or enabled.
That should be it, go out and see the (more) complete world of WiFi, and enjoy your new toy if you so wish!

Hi All,
I bought Galaxy nexus from Ebay.in and it was working very good. I updated to Jelly Bean over the WiFi and when it asked me to and after restarting it started asking me to enter network pin. I called seller and he told me that its my fault to update it and nothing he can do about it. So I started searching for similar problems and landed up on the below thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1548210
I rooted my device coz thats the pre requisite for this app and installed the FuxkDocomoV3.1.apk on my device. After running the APP, I clicked on "unlock simlock forever" and it processed for couple of seconds and restarted the phone. After restarting, phone is not asking for Unlock code but not detecting the network. When I go to Settings > More> Network Operators > I am able to find networks.. When I click on my home network it says "Cant connect to the network right now" I reinstalled Ice cream sandwich using the below link but no luck..Same network issue. Its not detecting any network.

It's a DoCoMo gnex right?
The fkdocomo app will change your imei to a generic one, and seem that your operator will not allow generic imeis on your network. Let me dig up a link, hold on.

Hello,
I have had my phone for a while now, but today was the first time since I got the phone that I looked at the device administrators area (settings / security / device administrators) and I noticed that there was an item called "Phone Info" that was activated by default and after reading about what it is supposed to do, I decided to deactivate it, but I was unable to do so. My questions therfore are:
1.) what is the purpose of this item?
2.) why can I not deactivate it?
3.) is it normal for it to be activated by default?
4.) if is not needed than how do I get rid of it?
In case it helps, my phone is rooted and I am still running the stock 4.1.2 ROM that came with the phone.
A few days ago I tried out the "All In One" 4.3 Stock ROM from Thunder Stick, but it was not working for me to well so I restored my nandroid backup of my original stock ROM so I am not sure If the other ROM has anything to do with it or not or if the setting has always been like that, but as I said before, I just noticed it today and would like to know what it is and how to deactivate it if I can.
Thanks for any and all replies,
Mtcell
Can you post a screenshot?

Here is another one that shows the permissions dialog and where I should be able to deactivate it, but pressing the deactivate button has no effect.
That is weird. I am checking my s3 now but this is all it shows on my optimus G. Maybe it is a Samsung thing?
-Whiplashh
"I think a ducks opinion of me is heavily influenced by whether I have bread or not."
Edit: here is what my s3 shows under those settings, but remember, my s3 isn't activated. Maybe it is just the activation stuff?
-Whiplashh
"I think a ducks opinion of me is heavily influenced by whether I have bread or not."
Thanks for the reply. After doing some research I have discovered that it is part of some corporate security thing that sprint has on some of the newer s3's (see the attached screenshot) Anyway, I have frozen the app since there is no way to disable it. That will work for now until I change my stock ROM in a few weeks.
If anyone else has this app setup as a device administrator and wants to disable it than you can use the pro version of titanium backup or the free version of sd maid to freeze the app like I have done. Note, your phone must be rooted to use these apps.
I purchased 3 FTVs for my home net purely to run xbmc and dont have a lot of interest in amazon prime or the stock FTV setup.
2 of the 3 boxes were fine, blocked updates on my net, rooted, disabled updates, XBMC on, everything worked great. Still need to do some tweaking but all good.
1 of the 3 boxes already knew of the update, and is trying to get it, but is of course blocked. As I have never booted it, I have no way to know what FW its on now.

I have tried waiting of course.. Tried pulling the network cable after it finds the DHCP and before 'checking for updates' (actually doesnt say that it seems to already 'know').
Is there a way of resetting the knowledge of the update ??
What is my best course of action with the greatest probability of securing root ??
Is there a way of stopping an update if I let my router connect to the update links ?? As I have never done that I dont know how the process goes ??
Or is there a way of on the first boot, when it updates, enabling ADP and rooting and disabling before the next boot (I read this works but perhaps not in this situation, eg from a normal boot not a first boot).
Lastly, I am not in the US, I dont know if it will even allow me to get the updates outside of there and I cant VPN via my router.. Which would lead to a useless if not bricked FTV stuck in a loop of an update it cant get.
Sorry for the Qs.. I did search but theres a lot of variables and one mistake could lose root on this box, where possibly the right combination or sequence can preserve it.
http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-unbr...ry-mode-and-factory-reset-the-amazon-fire-tv/
Just did this.. With a reset of user data and cache.. really thought it would it would work..
Booted.. had to discover the remote.. then.. Exactly the same.. Update detected (blocked with openDNS) and in the same loop ??
Can I block update system by ADP ?? Given the recovery option of update by ADP, is that any use here ??
Hello XDA,
Hoping someone here can help me. Not sure if it was relevant, but something must be but I was installing an APP on my P20 that helps to verify you to access Canada Gov't websites. Yada yada and now my phone has a password on it. At some point I was given Google Codes, but those do not unlock my phone now. I tried updating the phone from wifi and safe mode however it still comes up with the password screen below. The SIM card is now in my new phone (S20 - done with Huawei) and the old phone is in Airplane mode. When I drag up from the bottom you can see that menu at the bottom that mentions "Enable Magazine unlock" but doesn't do anything except calculator and flashlight.
Yes I can access recovery menu and the option to Factory Reset is certainly there and I know how to use it. The thing is I have over 3000 photos (most of them of our Cats) on there and I cannot and will not lose them. Been hacking this thing for a few days now and even though the P20 does not have an SD CARD slot, I was able to insert a USB stick in the USB-C slot with a bunch of useful hack .APKs but I cannot seem to be able to use them. In the EMUI menu I can select Update from USB but it just hangs at 5%.
I don't mind any kind of solution but it has to keep my data. Would installing Cyanogenmod delete my data? Anyone encountered this before? Also - obviously my phone has not been rooted and trying to connect to the PC via USB does recognize the phone, but Visual Studio, the Huawei software and ADB and everything else does not recognize it enough to communicate with it, perhaps because of the password.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Have you try to make a backup onto your pc or does it not see the device? I know there’s Back up Option under recovery mode at more than one place but not so sure if it would include all of your data.
The only way to disable a password on a huawei is thro factory-reset along with the password setup proses.
You said something about google codes. Can’t it by chance be from your find my phone, that the device is secured from find my phone platform
Hello.
I've never been up to date with modifications of all the FireTV Sticks, but recently found here some threads and bad things that OS updates bring/block and I'd like to ask for advice.
My device is as on the screenshot, OS version 5.2.8.4 and with an information in settings, that the update has been downloaded and to be installed when device idle. I disconnected it from power source and seek what are my options and what You'd do to make the best out of this Stick.

This is awesome, but is there anything for FireTV Stick II ?
https://www.reddit.com/r/fireTV/comments/kl1y7z
Would this LeanBack and TVLaunchX work or should I go for WolfLanucher/LauncherManager?
1. I'd like to install a launcher (Wolf?) to speed things up. Is this possible with this OS or should I downgrade?
2. can I still disable OTA updates and stay on this OS version, or should I downgrade?
3. I dont use voice input, don't mind rooting
4. I mainly use the Stick with Kodi
5. I bought a OTG 3xUSB cable and it would be awesome if I could connect a 200GB HDD 2,5" but it doesnt work both because insufficient power supply (doesnt boot when connected) and I read that it needs to be FAT32 formatted. Can I somehow bypass that FAT32?
6. doesn't matter if FAT32 or NTFS, can I somehow share this HDD connected to FireTV via my Wi-Fi, to upload media from my PC to that hard disk?
If you have knowledge about any single thing above, pls share your thoughts or links. Thanks!
2. Exact moment with solution plus website. Also a solution, if the update has been downloaded and awaits install
https://www.techdoctoruk.com/block-updates-on-amazon-devices-new-method/
5. This gut explains it. At least 2A power supply and FAT32 is a must
https://www.reddit.com/r/firetvstick/comments/bimiwc/_/enbxqgu
6. Usefull info here. Running samba share only on rooted ROM as it requieres blocked ports. Migrating files should be easy with a FTP server that can be easly started with EsFileExplorer
https://www.reddit.com/r/fireTV/comments/4jjyi4
The file size limit of 4GB really bothers me with FAT32. I'll look for other solution but I'm against running my PC as a server. Will look if my router can handle file sharing
