wpa_supplicant.conf question

[ktsi]

Hi all,

I have successfully installed the microSD bootloader. Then I copied the contents of firmware_mod folder to root of micro SD card and edited the wpa_supplicant.conf file.

My file is exactly as bellow:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant ctrl_interface_group=0 ap_scan=1

network={ ssid=“myssid” key_mgmt=WPA-PSK pairwise=CCMP TKIP group=CCMP TKIP WEP104 WEP40 psk=“mypassword” priority=2 }

However I cannot see the camera in my local network. Is smth wrong with the wpa_supplicant.conf file?

All help appreciated.

Thanks

@ktsi Hi I hade problems with that too.

Solvit changing: pairwise=CCMP group=CCMP

Using WPA-personal and AES on router. Giv it a try.

Hi, I tried your approach but still nothing. Let me ask, when the camera connects to the network what colour is the LED? Is it blue?

Thanks for your reply.

Blue is when the Mi home, with this Hack its orange. When you start the camera it gets blue for 5 seconds den orange. If it don't get blue during 5 seconds you haven't install the hack.

When I start the camera (with SD card inserted) I get the blue light for about a second. However when I first installed the boot loader I saw the blue light for about 5 secs that’s why I am quite sure that the hack was done ok.

[helio58]

Seems right, if you remove the sd card the blue light should be on for 5 secs. It should be something with the "wpa_supplicant.conf" and the router settings.

When I boot the camera without SD card then the light goes yellow, then blue for about 5 seconds, then again yellow and then it turns off. I am confident that the bootloader is installed correctly. However when I have the micro SD card inside I cannot see the camera in my local network. How should my access it?

Is that it?

Yeah, this is what I meant. Problem is camera does not connect. It is driving me crazy.

Maybe the camera does not even run the run.sh file, like mine does... ( #139 ) But i guess to find that out, you'll have to solder the pin header to connect a ftdi adapter

How does one go back to original FW? After having flashed the boot loader I mean. Do I just remove the microSD card? #losingfaith

[helio58]

Mine did not. I had to put the original firmware into the SD card and flashed as you flash the hack. The original firmware can be download at https://github.com/EliasKotlyar/Xiaomi-Dafang-Hacks/tree/master/firmware_original then rename it to demo.bin.

@ktsi Is your SSID hidden?

[ktsi]

Hi there. My SSID is not hidden. I really cannot understand what is happening.

Can someone please share his/her version of wpa_supplicant.conf file?

Thanks a lot in advance.

@ktsi Try adding scan_ssid=1 to your wpa_supplicant.conf. If that doesn't work try adding the mac address of your wireless AP to an additional line bssid=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx (where xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx is the MAC address of the wireless interface on your AP). If neither of those work help, then I suspect your wireless AP has some issues... I have had a couple of really terrible wireless routers and access points in the past myself where some devices couldn't connect at all to them.

Good luck!

@ktsi Please try a current software version which offers a startup.log. This may help to debug your issue. Closing this for now. Reopen if still an issue.
