wpa_supplicant file shownig wrong password - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

the wifi key recovery app has been showing the wrong wifi passwords even though the phone is still connecting to the wifi networks . ive tried deleting the networks and connecting again but the problem still remains. i have also gone into the data/misc/wifi folder on my root browser and the wpa_supplicant file is showing the passwords incorrectly too. i was wondering does anyone know what has caused this problem and is there a way to fix it. i have tried deleting the wpa_supplicant file and re connecting to the networks. and i have also tried different wifi password recovery apps and the problem still remains.
thanks in advance for any help

You should go to recovery, wipe cache, then do it again if it get fixed

ok I tried with wipe cache, but be still the same.

Ok, here is my little trick. I don't know if it could help. If you have a cwm backup, just restore boot.img partition Or you could flash a custom kernel. your wifi key will be reseted. Because I did it a few times.

Galaxy Tab Sprint - phone.apk

Hello all!
I've deleted my phone.apk to make Galaxy Tab wifi-only (I don't have any cdma networks so it always trying to search the network and discharging battery).
Now it causes some error messages, but i forgot to make backup..
Could anyone upload his phone.apk? Pleease!
i've already found and restored this file now it's ok
Anywaym maybe someone knows how to disable "cell standby" process correctly?
I turned off data under mobile networks in wireless and then just to be safe turned on airplane mode and then turned on wifi.
Yep just keep the turn on button 2 secs

Hi Nobz,
I just wanted to ask you if you could help me, since you managed to restore the phone.apk app on your GTab.
I have rooted mine, installed CWM, Superuser and Terminal Emulator. I have then deleted many system apps but NOT the phone.apk
Suddenly one morning the GTab started showing a popup notice after ending every phone call reporting an error in com.android.phone process and the only option is to Force Close it.
After this the app restarts and I'm able to make and take phone calls, but the bluetooth earpiece does not connect anymore until I reboot the Tab.
Everything else works perfectly and the Tab is now flying with 259MB of free memory.
I even tried wiping everything and restore factory settings but no luck...
So, the questions are:
1. Is the phone.apk corrupted somehow or else?
2. Can I replace it with a new one (if so, how is it done and where can I find a new phone.apk app?)
Any help with this will be greatly appreciated...
Many thanks in advance.

[Q] How to restore wifi passwords?

Before flashing my LG GT540 a few days ago, I backed up /data/misc/wpa_supplicant.conf, which is the file containing the wifi passwords.
Then in these days I noticed that, with every ROM I tested (some 2.1, some 2.2 and some 2.3), if I replace the wpa_supplicant.conf file, the wifi won't work after rebooting.
To get the wifi working again after a reboot I have to remove /data/misc/wpa_supplicant.conf and then turn the wifi on. At this point I can replace again the wpa_supplicant.conf file and everything will work until the next reboot.
How am I supposed to restore the wifi passwords without removing that file at any boot?
Anybody knows the reason of this error? Is there any log file? I couldn't find much from dmesg.

[Q] Force close loop after editing platform.xml

I wanted to bypass the kitkat restrictions and be able to upload directly to the external SD card with AirDroid, but this seriously backfired on me lol. Ever since editing the platform.xml file in /system/etc/permissions/ and rebooting the phone I've been stuck in a continuous force close loop. I've wiped the cache but this didn't improve anything. I was able to turn all data connections off which actually prevents the force closing from happening, but that seriously diminishes how smart my smartphone is so staying like that is not an option
Now that I've stopped the messages from happening, I've noticed that my internal SD isn't being recognized anymore. Camera doesn't work, the file manager shows zero files and my gallery doesn't show any pictures either. Same for the MP3 player. Most apps are broken now, but some who don't require an internet connection still work.
At this point I'm thinking that I've probably corrupted my internal SD? I think my system partition is fine as I can still run apps and use the system as it should, but I can no longer create files, maps or do anything that requires my internal SD.
Are there any suggestions as to what I should do next? Formatting/factory resets are a last resort so I'm hoping anything can be done to recover my phone! Thanks in advance!

Your SD card is recognized by the PC or laptop? I think you wrote some fault in the platform.xml file... can't correct it?

My PC is able to recognize the internal memory and that there is only 2,7GB of free space (which seems about right). However, when I enter the drive it appears empty. Windows isn't able to see anything. So in that regard Windows is acting the same as my phone.
As for platform.xml, I added <group gid=”media_rw” /> to “WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE“ and didn't do anything else besides that. It's really weird how this happened in the first place.
Any suggestions how to go from here? =)
edit;
I also removed the added permission but this didn't change a thing.

Should have probably tried this. Instead I became frustrated with the device and did a factory reset (which didn't solve a thing) so the problem is somewhere in the system which is causing the errors. Going to flash the latest stock rom in a bit and HOPEFULLY the phone will work again.

A factory reset will only wipe the /data part. Because you did something in /system that part is untouched. A reflash should fix it.

Yeah I noticed, my bad.
However, I flashed the latest stock rom and did another factory reset but the problem is still present. I keep getting a force close loop. What am I forgetting? What can I still do to fix this problem? I'm at a loss here xd

hi,
As you were "playing around " with your externalSD why you don't copy everything you have on it , format it and see if it works ..before restoring anything onto it

S8 forgets Wifi-Network everytime Wifi gets toggled

So I'm having this issue where my SM-G950F looses ALL known Networks when Wifi gets toggled.
I installed the update which came on the 21.04 but since I'm rooted I can't recieve OTA Updates anymore
Wlan driver is: Wlan v1.0 Release 1
Is there any fix for this?
Exactly the same issue with root here
I'm also rooted and having the same issue
Still happening .... does noone have a clue how to fix this ?
I've got the very same issue. It's very annoying. Hope someone finds a fix soon.
I'm also on a rooted Samsung S8+.
I think I have the same problem, but only when the WiFi-network has a password. It will remember the networks without password but as soon as I reboot or toggle Wifi it will have forgotten the network and password.
I also noticed the information disappears from the wpa_supplicant.conf-file.
I tried to solve it by:
- Deleting cache and data of google backup transport
- Deleting the DHCP-folder in /data/mics/
- Deleting the network-info in wpa_supplicant.conf
- Setting ro.secure.storage=false to false in BuildProp
- Deleting the ss_data-folder in /efs/
Nothing worked.
I have a Galaxy S8 (SM-G950F), Android 7.0 rooted with Magisk. To make room for Open GApps I had to remove some system-apps.
- Any of you installed Open GApps as well?
- I also noticed I had to enter a bluetooth passkey today. Although I previously connected my phone to my car. Could it be bluetooth is also affected?

I've also rooted with Magisk but I haven't removed any apps/installed GApps.
I've noticed the same with Bluetooth, my Zenwatch3 will ask me to confirm the passkey on my phone before pairing.
Did you by any chance enable 'unified hosts adblock' in Magisk? It was the cause of my problems. Disabled that and it worked.

Hmm interesting...
I've enabled "systemless host" in magisk but I'm using AdAway app rather than the "Unified Hosts Adblock" module.
I'll mess about with these and see if it resolves.
Same issue here on 955f, rooted with magisk, dhcp folder and file changed, systemless host off and still no wifi in memory. Has someone performed wipe to see if the issue has been resolved this way? Thanks
