[GUIDE] Iconia A100 ROOT and AD-HOC wi-fi enabled

Hi everybody. I've bought my A100 one month ago and i've rooted and added ad-hoc patch for it in order to have internet through wm cellphone.
i've rooted with this guide
androidforums.com/iconia-tab-a100-all-things-root/401598-rooting-a100.html
and added ad-hoc with this one:
batista70phone.com/2011/05/supporto-per-reti-ad-hoc-su-acer-iconia-a500/ (is in italian, if you need english tell me, I can translate it)
To avoid problems open the page from the tablet and copy/paste the commands, and remeber to SWITCH OFF WIFI AS SOON AS POSSIBLE before playing with the wifi files!!
I've also added to my winmo phone ( diamond ) WMWifiRouter in orde to share the connection from 3g on the phone to wi-fi on the tablet.
Everything works. You have only to start WMWiFiRouter on diamond or other wm6 device and than looking in the wifi list on tablet for the wireless just created ( Office Lan....etc ).
For convenience activate on cellphone "wifi always on" also if "display is off" trough Diamond Tweaks.
I hope this can be useful for someone else ;-)

English guide for enabling ad-hoc
I would greatly appreciate it if you would translate the guide for enabling ad-hoc capabilities for the a100. I can't seem to find a guide anywhere else and, alas, I don't speak Italian. Thank you so much!

still having problems with ad hoc access
i followed the instructions to root the tablet. this worked fine. i then followed instructions to replace the wpa_supplicant file with the one found on this forum for the motorola xoom that is meant to give ad hoc capabilities. i know the file replaced fine as the way the a100 behaves with regards wireless has changed. before there seemed to be a bug that it would always turn off the wireless when the screen went off no matter what the wireless behavior settings were. now it never turns off wireless even if the screen goes off.
if i set up a wireless network from my laptop using the intel My Wifi software if connects fine with WPA, it did this out the box. however if i set up an ad hoc netork on my laptop it will not connect correctly.
1. If I use WPA it just keeps saying connecing ---disconncted repeatedly
2. If I use WEP or no encryption it gets to the point of obtaining an ip address but never gets any further.
I have only tried with DHCP
Also with the ad hoc network it seems to make multiple networks in the wireless networks on the tab.
I was hoping someone could give me some specific help on this and maybe some up to date advice on the usbb host issue.
Thanks in advance.

thanks for your help yes it seems i am the only one who is still having problems! i am working on a ship now and maybe the server here is causing issues. i will be home tomorrow and can try then.
when you set up your ad hoc in windows do you select WPA or WEP, funny I thought ad hoc only had WEP security. why does w7 offer WPA on ad hoc?
thanks andy

thanks I tested at home. Still can't connect with adhoc on my laptop with wep wpa or no authentication but works fine on my huwei e585 which is a bit of a mystery I will try and fine another laptop to test it with.....thanks for your support though.......do you know any solution to the USB host issue on the a100?

hi there is another issue with the a100 i was hoping to solve. you cannot mount a usb device like a thumb drive on it. the a500 had a standard pc type usb port and you could mount a usb drive on it. although you can get a mini usb male to ubs female 'usb on the go' cable apparently it wont work on the a100. i have seen some feedback regarding this on blogs but no solutions. any ideas? Andy

ad hoc again
hi again...have juts discovered that my huwei e585 modem actually provides infrastructure not ad hoc which is why my a100 tablet works with it. i think i still have a problem with ad hoc on my a100. i went through the process of getting the new wpa_supplicant file in /system/bin and i checked it has the same permisions as the original file but still no luck...can anyone help? I still cant connect my a100 to an ad hoc network provided by my laptop.

yes, i used root explorer to copy the wpa_supplicant and I made sure I had the airplane mode on and wireless off when I did it.I just tried the whole process again and the same result. my a100 has android 3.2. I also made sure the permissions are exactly the same as the original file.

Hello. I am an Android newb. I have been trying to correct this issue for over a week to no avail. Please advice.
I've tried rooting my A100 by inputting (copy/paste) the proper commands on the a100 itself in a terminal emulator, but have had no success. The commands cause no obvious response when entered into the terminal, but when I checked xbin for su, it's there. I've installed the superuser apk, but busybox install fails due to lack of root. Repeating the process doesn't change anything.
I've also tried rooting via the ADB method. The results are the same. su is in xbin folder; however, I cannot install busybox because I am not rooted.
The last bit of info I can provide about my situation is this. I have root checker installed on my A100. I do not get the same result each time I click "verify root". Sometimes it tells me that I'm rooted and sometimes it tells me that I'm not rooted????
Please let me know if I can provide any additional information. I need some help please.

These are the same commands that I have previously entered via terminal emulator and I tried again via ADB method. I have tried multiple times.
I'm not sure what you mean by "You must have to copy moded su to your sd card , /mnt/sdcard". Are you referring to the su file in my xbin folder? If so, I cannot copy it because I am not rooted. Every time I execute the aforementioned commands, the su file in my xbin folder gets modified. The size of the su file in my xbin folder is 0.00K, is this normal?
Thanks for responding, please offer further guidance if you can.

hi i am no expert but i got the root to work fine with these instructions. as long as you copied the new su file to your xbin folder the third command on the list should take care of everything.
then you have to do the busybox and super user thing
Step 6: Install BusyBox from the Market
Step 7: Install SuperUser from the market, this is the APK version this time. This is going to update the SU file and install the SuperUser app.

thanks i got it now

I tried the opening poster's ad-hoc fix on my iconia a100 ICS leak, and it worked great. This is where the instructions are (in italian, but translated by google, it was understandable) Now I can get wifi from my jailbroken iphone 3gs with mywi app.

I did notice that the status bar icon that shows wifi doesn't seem to be showing signal strength properly.

[Q] spoof/change MAC (final thread)

Since I first bought my Desire, the first thing I wanted to do is to change it's MAC to whatever MAC I wanted. I wasn't able to do it then, and after a year and a half I am still not able to do it.
Most of the threads here in XDA don't give an answer to this question, and the ones that do give an answer, seem to be intended for other devices than HTC Desire.
I have found this thread at androidforums (I am still not allowed to post a link, but I would like everyone to be able to see this information: http androidforums com /t-mobile-g1/3506-changing-spoofing-mac-address.html) to have the most information, but none of this methods worked for me; namely:
Code:
su
ip link set eth0 address 00:12:f0:dd:cc:dc
or
Code:
su
busybox ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:12:f0:dd:cc:dc
Once again, none of the above methods worked for me. The commands are accepted, but when I check the MAC with "ip link show eth0", the MAC is still the same...
So, to the experts out there, PLEASE: what is the correct way to change the MAC address of our HTC Desires' MAC?
Thank you all in advance.

I forgot to mention one more appearance in the MAC spoofing scene.
I recently found this application in the market: (once again, linking restrictions apply for me...)
https market.android com/details?id=com.GadgetWorkshop.MACSpooferForHD2
I haven't tried this app because it is not meant for my phone and as I don't fully understand how does this work, I don't want to risk misconfiguring my phone.

Mac Address

Hey, since 20th march build, or something close, Cyanogenmod changes something about the mac address, and I can't modify it anymore. Formerly, I just swift the wlan_macaddr0 and wlan_macaddr1, renaming those, and my address was changed. I could reboot and still unchanged, no problem. But now I can't even do that. I tried to turn off Wi-fi, change it, and turn it on, but doens't work. I ask on Google+ cyanogenmod community, however didn't solve the problem. Can someone teach me how to change it now? Thanks a lot!

ifconfig with root and terminal... your mac for wlan right?? why would you have two and, that whole renaming them part!? makes no sense to me...
I tried google and came up with this:

I will send you a screenshot.
In my phone (Maybe in all Xperias), there's a folder where the Mac Adress are listed. There's more than one, as you can see. I just swaped the first and the second. To explain more detailed
wlan_macaddr0: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:01
wlan_macaddr1: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:02
wlan_macaddr2: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:03
wlan_macaddr3: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:04
Okay. Then I changed the ''wlan_macaddr0'' and ''wlan_macaddr1'' content. So:
wlan_macaddr0: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:02
wlan_macaddr1: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:01
wlan_macaddr2: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:03
wlan_macaddr3: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:04
In cm11, that works normally. In cm12, it worked to, until builds after 20 march. I tried other roms, and if they were build before that date, it worked too. In stock lollipop, it works, but changes the mac address to a different thing. Anyway, the stock thing doens't matter, because I'm not using it anymore.
So, what I'm asking is: ''how can I change the mac address, even if other methods are necessary, in cm12 lastest builds?''
I tried apks and didn't work. Tried changing by terminal emulator and didn't work either. Tried messing up some system files and got broken wi-fi.
If you know how my phone can process the ''wlan_macaddr1'' instead of ''wlan_macaddr0'', I would appreciate it. Thanks (sorry my bad english)

Yes its rooted.
Could you please tell me which files needs to be modify for MAC changing.

Sorry I don't know if it is possibile to change the mac address by modifying a file. MAC Address is a physical address, that means that it can be changed only temporarily with the Linux shell command that I've written above. In the past I've used that command on Android (with a Galaxy Note 2) and it worked! Now I don't remember if I've ever used with LG G4 when I had root permission (with Lollipop), but I can't try now because I doesn't have root access anymore, because I've upgraded to MM and I don't want to unlock the bootloader for warranty purposes

PryFi from chainfire works (usually), just be sure to make a backup of all partitions before using it. Once using the app made my IMEI disappear.

I had a moto x 2nd gen and I modified a file for MAC and it was perfectly working .
So i think there must be a file for permanently changing MAC Address. In my Lg g4 t mobile have MM 6.0

I think you need a special flasher to change MAC address but I'd love to know too

how i can change ,mac address, in oneplus three

hello i have a root and xposed and i installed <3 > <4> apps to change me the mac address but all of them didn't work

I would assume you can't. A mac address is fixed and cannot be changed, it comes from the NIC when it is manufactured of a computer and whatever the equivalent is for a phone. I guess root apps might be able to emulate a mac address?

Sure you can spoof Mac. Hard coded doesn't matter.
There are several ways to spoof. Here is one way: http://www.gohacking.com/spoof-mac-address-on-android-phones/
You can also edit a file with root access but I can't remember the file name. I will see if I can't find it.

Edit:. This thread refers back to XDA from another forum but talks about editing the file. Just scroll down to answer. (I haven't tried it yet, so OP3 may have a different file...you will need to try it out)

Hey man i just find out the way to change macc in one plus 3 mobile . i just bought my one plus 2days back . i rooted my phone on that day and i thought that the change my macc will help full here that is not working here i just figured it the filename where the macc address was stored.
/persist/wlan_mac.bin this is file where macc address stored change the First Line that is for wlan0 so change it put mobile in Flight mode and turn off the flight mode. I'm going post a video on this soon....
Hope this is helpful

https://youtu.be/uFXZPWZdI-E
Check this video, it's basically changing the wlan_mac.bin file. But you have to use an app called nethunter to reset the Mac in order to change it.
This successfully worked on my 3T!
