Android UConnect Manual Configuration

You need root user access on your phone to accomplish this as of OS rev 1.5 from T-Mobile.

Edit the /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf by hand. In that file the configuration of the wifi-networks is saved.


You need to add the following lines:

ctrl_interface=tiwlan0
update_config=1

network={
ssid="UConnect"
proto=RSN
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
eap=PEAP
identity="u0123456"
anonymous_identity="u0123456"
password="unidpassword"
phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
}

For those who don’t know how to do that, here is some more explanation.

  1. To edit the mentioned file above your phone has to be rooted.

  2. Then you need the Android SDK installed on your computer (you will need adb.exe).

  3. You need the usb cable to connect the phone to your computer.

  4. Open a command line shell and go to your android-sdk tools folder and then do the following:

  • # Copy the config file from the phone to your computer:
    adb pull /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf C:/MyFolder
  • # Now Edit your wpa_supplicant.conf with your favorite editor and load it back to your phone:
    adb push C:/MyFolder/wpa_supplicant.conf /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
  • Now go to the wifi settings in your phone. Turn wifi off and on again. It should successfully connect now.
