I wanted to enable wifi tethering with my Verizon Galaxy Tab to my Fascinate. Now I cannot get my Tab to see any networks.
I thought I'd made a clean copy of my original wpa_supplicant. BUT I cannot find it - seems to have gotten deleted.
If someone would post me a clean copy of the /system/bin/wpa_supplicant I would greatly appreciate.
Thanks
If the t-mobile one is the same I can share it just unsure if it is

Hi,
So far none of the modifications i've tried worked, so if anyone has any suggestions please let me know.
1) Removed "bcm_supp.conf", so it got recreated - no effect.
2) Took a copy of "wpa_supplicant.conf" and renamed it "bcm_supp.conf" since they may have the same contents - no effect.
3) Modified "wifi.conf" with a different path and the file got recreated there - no effect.
[....
SUPP_CONFIG_TEMPLATE=/system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
SUPP_CONFIG_FILE=/data/wifi/bcm_supp.conf ==> SUPP_CONFIG_FILE=/data/misc/wifi/bcm_supp.conf
...
SUPP_CONF_FILEPATH=/data/misc/wifi/
...]
Rebooted the unit after each experiment and attempted to turn wifi on. It tries to scan and finds absolutely nothing (no AP) even though it used to.
Thanks
when i change my wpa_supplicant file to see adhoc networks i faced the same problem and i figured that it was because of the file security settings chmod it to 766 and it worked. you can try this.
Unable to scan networks

I found a wpa_supplicant.conf in /etc/ and a bcm_supp.conf in /data/misc/wifi (not in (/data/wifi like I read in many forum posts). Which of these files do I need to remove or correct in my Samsung Moment 2.1?

for making it see adhoc networks?
No, for the "unable to scan for wireless networks" problem.

Thanks kromosto. It was permission related after all as file replacement with root explorer solved the issue.
I'm not a developer or someone who understand what he is doing
nore do i speak flawless English, so u'll have to excuse me
But i was trying to get my GPS configuration working on Android
So i googled here and there and this is what i'v got:
On my NAND Android after initial flash, configuration where set to US
And i'm from Israel so it took me ages to get a GPS lock.
So thats what i did:
use adb to pull gps.conf from /system/etc and change it according to your country
Code:
adb pull /system/etc/gps.conf
you can find full list here
If you are from Israel you can use the file i'v attached
and just use this line to push it back
Code:
adb push gps.conf/system/etc
it shouled look like that:
Code:
server 0.asia.pool.ntp.org
server 1.asia.pool.ntp.org
server 2.asia.pool.ntp.org
server 3.asia.pool.ntp.org
SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com
SUPL_PORT=7276
Good Luck
I am also from israel.
Will that file work for all devices, android versions and roms?
going to test this out when i get home
Going to the NTP Server Pool site this is what they recommend for Israel to do and add in the gps.conf file as one of the primary servers:
il.pool.ntp.org
NTP also recommends using these and NOT the Europe server files:
server 0.asia.pool.ntp.org
server 1.asia.pool.ntp.org
server 2.asia.pool.ntp.org
server 3.asia.pool.ntp.org
Hope this give you all in Israel a faster lock.
Sorry, could you tell me how to edit gps.conf file?
I need to edit it to Spain GPS, but I dont know how to open and edit it.
Sorry for the inconvenience, and thank you in advance.

There is a text editor (free) in Android market called 'Ted' text editor. Install that. Then, using Root Explorer, navigate to your gps.conf file (system/etc). Then long-press on the gps.conf and in the pop-up list that appears, choose 'Open in Text Editor'. Don't forget to save your changes when you're finished (before exiting the gps.conf/text editor) by pressing the menu button and choosing 'Save Changes'. Your old gps.conf will automatically be backed up and saved as gps.conf.bak in the same location. If you don't have Root Explorer, try a couple different file managers from the Market until you find one that allows R/W access to root/system files. But Root Explorer is well worth buying, this won't be the only time you use it

Another way to edit for free is Google for DroidExplorer and install it onto your computer. That way you can use your computer to edit the gps.conf file and save it if you want. I have saved my highly customized gps.conf file for my area. This way whenever I update or change my ROM, I insert my custom gps.conf file into the ROM before loading it.

For some reason acer decided not to put the exchange feature onto the tablet which i found quite annoying. thankfully user member id10terrordfw found a way to fix this and posted the apks.
to get exchange working you first need root and either root explorer (paid app but worth the money) or es file explorer (free but you have to enable root privaleges inside the app. its under the settings menu)
1. navigate to system/apps and copy email.apk and email.odex
2. past these to your sd card as a backup
3. rename email.apk and email.odex to email.apk.old and email.odex.old
4. extract the files from the download and past them into the system/apps folder. (they should be Email.apk and EmailWidget.apk)
5. once done you can then go to email and try and setup an exchange account.
previously it only gave an imap and pop3 selection on the manual setup page. now it should include exchange as an option.
tested and working by me
again a big big thank you to the original poster/fixer the original thread is

I attempted these instructions but after renaming the email.apk and email.odex, the e-mail app doesn't show in the list of apps installed. I attempted to install the email app from the files provided and it won't install.
My tablet is rooted and I made the changes using Root Explorer.

you're not supposed to install them, just drop them in the correct folder
sorry my reply to this post didn't include that i extracted the files to my flash drive and copied the files from the flash drive to the system/apps folder.

HI..
I did exactly the same instructions given here but the eMail App just disappeared from my program list, I even paste the old files which backed up again to the folder but again theres nothing. I just lost my eMail application.
please help...
reboot

Thanks.. i repeated the hole process again and after three rebooting it works now and finally i can receive my company eMails naturally.
its a shame no search feature for this mail app.
Email FCs
I was able to copy the 2 APK files and configure my Exhange account but after it opens for a few seconds, it FCs.
Anyone had the same problem?
exchange is working
2 conditions:
1. you have to add an account in settings sync choose company
2. you have o define a pin code
3. you have to encrypt your device.
i am at the encryption stage takes an hour especailly to find out if it slows down somewhat.
so before barking check.
What a load of baloney. If you have the update from 139 or higher, all you have to do,with the default email client, is go to Settings , Accounts. Tap Add Account, Choose Corporate and set it up as normal. No PIN or encryption needed.

Getting exchange to work
Hi all,
I finally got it working but I had to do just about everything in this thread.
Use the (paid) Root Explorer, all the others just won't get the (root) privileges needed to rename and paste, eventhough they might say they have. I fiddled around with this for an hour before I gave up and bought the root explorer app.
Check the permissions of the original files (email.apk and email.obex), when you have pasted your new files into the /system/apps folder the permissions will probably be different. Reset them to what the original files were otherwise your e-mail app will not show up in the apps list.
Reboot! My email app disappeared and only returned when I rebooted.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the original post in this thread!!

PIN and Encryption requirements are set by your exchange server. Requirements change depending on how your IT has the server set up.
ok if you think so. I just can tell you that it will not allow to connect to exchange as long as you have not encryptet the device, and this has nothing to do with exchange requirements, but with standard ACER policy, ie. if you use it as a company device you should encrypt the device.
I am exchange administrator using as well exchange 2007 and 2010 virtualized exchange servers and i am sure i know what i am talking about. ACTIVESYNC does not require any encryption at all.
but of corse i am talking about the standard email client coming from ACER/GOOGLE, not some other made up email client needing root and so on.
but you can believe it or not, up to you, but that is the way it works.
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

fffft said:
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
.

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.
