Hi all,

Maybe some kind person can give me a hand with this:
I am trying to edit /etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf (need this for some extra auth method in my university) on a HTC Desire (non HD) with 2.2 Froyo.

I rooted the phone using "revoked", and have Astro as file explorer and a shell terminal installed on the phone, and the Android SDK with abd.exe on Win764bit.

I tried editing the file directly with Astro (which does not seem to get root rights), no success.
'tried using adb, but I always end up having a no access. adb says the daemon is started successfully, but with "remount failed: operation not permitted".
Similar things happen with adb sysrw.

I googled some and a site mentioned a cat <some-file-name-i-forgot>
that should yield a 0, but yielded a 1.

Firewall on the Windows machine is off ofc. Bear with me, I'm new to Android.
