XT1527 Lollipop: Wifi/Cell at same time? Or, maybe downgrade to 4.4.4? topic


We have an application that needs to connect to a GoPro private Wifi network (non-routable), and at the same time, connect to the Internet over cellular.

On Android 4.4.4 and earlier, we were able to achieve this with a rooted device, and then execution of these commands:

svc wifi disable
svc data enable
insmod /system/lib/modules/wlan.ko
netcfg wlan0 up
wpa_supplicant -B -Dnl80211 -iwlan0 -c/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
dhcpcd wlan0

On the Moto E 4G (XT1527), rooted and running Lollipop, these commands no longer work -- dhcpcd seems to get stuck and never finishes running.

Does anyone know of an alternate method of bringing both networks up?

Or, does anyone know if it's possible to downgrade the XT1527 back to Android 4.4.4?

Thank you!
