Unlock SIM without hex edit

Sorry if this has been posted before...please be careful and don't blame me if you will brick your tab
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10605338&postcount=5
I haven't tried this method.

ok so we need to delete this "nv_data.bin.md5 and nv_data.bak.md5 "
do i need to delete that too : nv_data.bak
please let me know

This method just seem ridiculous to me. I just don't buy that you delete an important system file and pretend that all it does is sim unlock your tab. I would seriously think twice and make sure I have the /efs folder securely backed up in my PC b4 attempting to do that.
P_
p.s. nv.data.bak is a copy of nv.data.bin used by the system in case the original file gets corrupted. If you delete the .bin file there are good chances that it will be restored with the .bak one. But if you delete both ............. hmmm I am not quite sure in what kind of trouble you're putting yourself into. The .md5 files can be deleted with no problem, they will be regenerated on the next boot.

And yet 100's of people, using caution have successfully done this.
As always, do your research, ask questions, then go forward.

Why cant i view saved wifi password on rooted galaxy?

Looks like all those wifi recovery apps for rooted phones just give back a hex/binary code instead of the actual wifi password
anyway to decrypt these?

all wifi passwords are in a text file

It's difficult to give you an useful answer since you provided no details at all. You'll get better answers if you tell us exactly how you tried to recover a password, program names, versions, examples, et cetera.
Start with telling us what you see in
/data/misc/wifi/ wpa_supplicant.conf
.

I have too this problem on my Galaxy S6 DUOS.
if all this programs recover only encrypted password.
Maybe is possible make something for android in order to save new entered password NO ENCRYPTED to "/data/misc/wifi/ wpa_supplicant.conf " ?
Hope someone can help US, encrypted passwords are useless

I found slove this problem edit BUILD.PROB:
ro.securestorage.support=true

Retrieve saved wifi password without root

Dear all,
I am currently using a totally stock unrooted Note 4 (the G variant). I need to retrieve a wifi password for my school wifi network, which I cannot recall. I tried using adb to retrieve wpa_supplicant.conf from my phone (adb pull /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf c:/wpa_supplicant.conf), but apparently the file does not exist (the exact error message I got was "the remote object '/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf' does not exist").
Can anyone with a rooted phone advise me if the above address is the correct location for the wpa_supplicant.conf on our Note 4? If not, where is the exact location for this file? Is it because the phone is not rooted that prevents me from retrieving the file using adb?
Any other solution would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Without root you can try in Facebook of Samsung.
Is the better solution for you.

Without root we can still use adb, which I believe is sufficient for the purpose of retrieving files from root folders (I may be wrong, that is why I ask the question in my OP), one of which contains all saved wifi passwords. Regardless, I find it extremely hard to believe that Samsung will ever entertain such a request if you approach them.
Since I have you here, and assuming that you are using a rooted Note 4, could you let me know where you can find the file wpa_supplicant.conf on your Note 4? You can use ES File Explorer to navigate to those root folders.
Thank you.

I'm not a expert on non rooted phones, but I think to use adb, you need at least a permissive selinux kernel and a non secure kernel.
Without that 2 conditions your better solution is the Facebook of Samsung.
....and yes. Your path for wpa_suppIicant.conf is correct and that file contains wifi passwords.

You need to modify android.policy.jar
Don't know what is this or how to modify? Don't ask.

How i modify android.policy.jar and where i found this text reboot options in the file
android.policy.jar

@Madii Mahdy: When @RubbaBand tells you if you don't know what the file is or how to modify it not to ask, there's a reason for it. Editing a system file, even something as trivial as a .jar file, requires a specific knowledge set that you simply do not have. Without that knowledge, you will likely brick your phone, and that's no fun at all.
Now, if you want to learn, there are tutorials on the Internet that can help you, but I hope you will understand that what you're trying to do is advanced stuff that cannot simply be provided in an itemized list. I've personally edited .jar files for an old tablet of mine to enable network location service, but it was a major pain in the backside, and that was only a slightly more complicated edit than what you want to do.

Any way to get file from non-rooted G5 Plus using PC?

There's a file I need from my phone, but I cannot access it as it requires root and my device is not rooted and never has been. When I read rooting guides they all state to do a wipe. Is there any way to get the file from my phone using my PC even if my phone isn't rooted?

Not sure by your vague description, but do a search of QPST and its sub program QFIL as it is Qualcomm's set of tools for development and working with their chipsets.

Vague description?
- There is a file on my phone that I want to copy to my computer
- I am unable to access the file on my phone because it is in a location that requires root
- My phone is not rooted
My question is, is there a method using my pc to access the file even if my phone is not rooted? And if so, what is that method? I'm asking if my PC can get root access to files on my phone even if my phone is not rooted.

devvshukla said:
Is the "file" in [root]/data/ or [root]/system/ or it's in your internal storage and your device is locked down?
If internal then there is no way as it is encrypted.
You can copy some of them from system storage, try some file managers eg FX. I could copy the system apps with their lib from /System/apps to my SD Card.

I'm not sure where it's located. I was given this info from Roboform support. It's a password manager.
"By default it would be RoboForm/_user-data.rfo on your device if you have root access, the folder location itself varies from device to device."
With FX File Manager I can find two Roboform related folders, but access to both is denied without having root. Their locations are:
System/data/app
System/data/data

If you're looking for wifi passwords, and it sounds like that's what you're after, you're not going to be able to get them without root access.

I already stated what the file is. It's my own user data from the password manager app Roboform. I need the file to import the data into the PC version, as my user data was lost. As long as I don't sync the phone app, I still have all of my 211 site logins/passwords saved... but there is no way to recover the data to the PC app without getting that file.
Isn't there a PC app that can create a 1:1 image of everything on my phone, and then another that can open the image to view the files? Or a way to root without having to lose the data in the process?
I'm just trying to avoid having to manually input every single one of my logins & passwords manually, but will if there's no other way. I've gotten about 40 done so far but quit until I got an answer here.

maybe you can use adb to pull the files

Vague in that you did not say it was in
Code:
System/data/app
System/data/data
in your first post. As I posted, QFIL can dump the whole chipset, but getting it to work, and then extracting right file with a hex editor, is pretty involved.

Another option is to try using ADB backup. If the app allows itself to be backed up, then you may be able to extract the relevant files from the backup.

Hey, just use Moto lenovo software assistant and back up the file into pc and then access with your computer.

That won't work as it doesn't provide root access.

You are not vague... simply wrong!
You need the data belonging to an app so if the phone is not rooted and the app isn't a system app their data is under /data/data/APPNAME/
The Lenovo Assistant does an adb backup,nothing more and nothing less.

Zero idea what you're trying to say there. You also quoted me as saying something that another poster said. What exactly am I "simply wrong!" about? I stated that I can see the location of the folders on my phone, but that I cannot enter into the folders because I do not have root access. "Access Denied". Someone told me to use Lenovo MOTO Smart Assistant, so I figured they were telling me to simply use it to browse my phones directory and copy the file to my computer. Naturally, if I browse my phone with the app it does not give me root access, thus I am unable to even see data/app/APPNAME or data/data/APPNAME. The person who suggested it did not mention anything about using it to create a backup. You stated that it "does an adb backup,nothing more and nothing less." which is completely incorrect. You're the one that's wrong here. The assistant does NOT do a complete adb backup. In fact the only things you can backup using it are contacts, sms, pics, music, video, and apps. Plus it does much more. Not "nothing more and nothing less" as you stated.
Roboform creates folders in the system partition. Are you telling me I'm wrong about where the folders are located? Wrong that the assistant app doesn't even let me see system folders? Wrong that it can't be used to create a full backup? Wrong that it does more than let you back up non-system files? Because I'm not wrong about a single one of those things.
Soooooooo. That brings me to having a full backup using adb command line, but no way to extract it's contents. I tried this but the unpack feature does absolutely nothing & the main interface doesn't even see my phone. Not to mention the install is bug ridden. It creates folders in the wrong locations & with the wrong names, so I needed to manually rename & move files because the app would crash trying to find files needed to run. https://github.com/camalot/droidexplorer
Is there any way to easily unpack the backup? If not I'll just give up on this and manually input the remaining 100+ passwords one by one from my phones screen to my PC. LoL.

I don't think so! No app modifies /system, it requires root access to do.
Your data is in /data/data/roboform folder.

Didn't need the first link. I said I already have an adb backup. You still didn't tell me what I was previously wrong about. The file locations? I'm going by where FX File Manager tells me it's located, which says System/data/app. Does it really matter anyway? I see them, I just can't open them without rooting & once I get the extracting stuff set up I will know where to look for them. A 100% technically (in)accurate location name was irrelevant to even point out as being "not vague, just wrong".

This is relevant, the Roboform app
