I just found out that the S5 hashes the wifi passwords in the supplicant file. I know I can't un-hash them but is there anyway to save my passwords and have them automatically restored when I change my ROM? I used to be able to just use Titanium Backup but that no longer transfers the passwords, just the SSIDs.
Maybe a program that I could save the passwords into separately and then could auto-input them?
I cannot use Google backup but am rooted.

Hi guys, i bought an i9000 and made regular backups of pictures videos etc, my phone was recently stolen, so I was wondering is there a way to extract the data from the backup files and where are the backup files stored on my machine, I used kies to create the backups.,
Any help would be appreciated
Just to add on, under preferences > device I can see the two backups I made their .sbu files so does anyone know how to get them and extract the data? would be a life saver if this can be done
A little tip that may save you some time
In the process of recently flashing a stock/rooted rom from zippy01 (check it out here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2759143)
I managed to lose my user data
I'd made backups, but a couple of things didnt restore, the wifi (locations and passwords) and bluetooth settings (paired devices).
So I spent hours trying to access my 4 previous backups, looking for the elusive settings.
I tried using CWM, titanium and twrp, even accessing the archives using ext4 explorers etc.
I thought I'd found them a number of times but after restoring, nothing had changed.
Then I stumbled across a useful app called Nandroid Manager *ROOT
It has a host of features and tools, including a restore feature (from backed up archives) that includes Wifi and bluetooth settings.
I wish I'd found this app a few days ago, I hope it saves you some time.
Not sure if it was the fact I rooted using:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-tmobile/general/easy-steps-n910t3-dofc-dog1-how-to-root-t3177225
I realized after a reboot my wifi settings has been being wiped, at first I thought it was because I used titanium backup to restore wifi profiles (wiped all wifi settings to try and fix) or if my root method has had this issue.
After wiping all wifi settings after I used titanium backup I still lost my wifi settings
I reset my phone and issue was still occuring
I found an issue with the note 3 forgetting passwords and I figured I'd do the same using a build.prop editor in the app store.

Code:
Original:
ro.securestorage.support=true
Modified:
ro.securestorage.support=false
In doing these changes I inadvertently managed to store passwords as text instead of an encrypted hash so applications that show stored wifi passwords will now work on the phone
Hi all, I hope I'm in the right place.
I'm writing app with classes for backing up and restoring android data and settings for rooted device. I successfully managed to back up call and sms databases, home layout and rom (system) settings but now I need to understand if (and how) it is possible to back up exchange accounts in order to restore and reuse them in gmail app after new rom installation without manually setting. Found the file EmailProvider.db in com.google.android.gm package data folder in wich are stored accounts data and credentials but even after full restoring data folder the accounts are not displayed.
I think because accounts are system related, so my ask is where are exchange accounts (or accounts in general) information stored in android? It is possible to programmatically backup and restore them?
Thanks
Hi
I would like some help I'm on my new 1+5 about 1 week
And I noticed it not restored Google backup I had to reinstall all my apps, set wifi passwords manually, etc...
Now I can't see any reference in Google Drive, I can see just my N5X (Android O)
And I noticed this is SS
my apps didn't restore either. i noticed a question during setup that said something about restoring, but the wording made it sound like a direct NFC/bluetooth copy of files from another phone.
