So I had the Ad-hoc patch working on my 3.1 4.010.11 using the Xoom's Wpa_supplicant file. I changed back to the stock wpa_supplicant file and then did a OTA upgrade to 4.010.13. rerooted and used es file explorer to copy back the xoom's wpa_supplicant and nothing in fact the wifi would not even turn on. Yes no wifi access at all. till i put back the stock wpa-supplicant. Any Ideas on a new patch?
Make sure the permissions on the supplicant file are correct. Just match the other files in the directory.
I had the same issue going from 3.0 to 3.1.
Thanks, that was it. Could not figure out what I was missing.
No problem. I spent about an hour trying to figure it out before I had the "Doh!" moment.

Thanks entropyiv for posting this.
So I'm a novice here... I had the ad-hoc patch running for quite a while and got the update that zrhodes posted about. I tried the same things and also couldn't get ad-hoc mode running. I tried changing the permissions in the wpa_supplicant file to match the other files in the system/bin folder, rebooted and it's still not working (A500 is rooted). Am I doing this correctly? Thanks in advance.
PS. The current permissions are rwxr-xr-x

It is possible the file got corrupted during transfer. Did you try downloading the supplicant file again? Other than the permissions, I can't think of what could be causing the issue.
Maybe this dhcp issue i have seen floating around?

Well this is curious. My GF and I both have HTC Touch Pro 2's and am using the wi-fi router application. It works using her phone, but not with mine. However, when I go to connect with the laptop to the phone, the "wifi router" shows up in the available network list. I try to connect using the tablet and it get's stuck in the obtaining IP loop. Well, didn't that frost me! So I had several version's of wi-fi router on my phone's sd card, tried installing another, and it works fine now. The wi-fi router application worked with my phone yesterday, before I updated to 4.010.13 GEN 2. Go figure...
One other thing to try is use Root Explorer to verify the owner and group of the file; long-press on wpa_supplicant file to bring up menu and select Change Owner. Make sure Owner is 0 - root and Group is 2000- shell. Copying the file into the folder using a file manager, or even simply extracting the file from a zip delivery, can change the file owner and/or group.
To avoid the permissions and groups issues w/ the wpa_supplicant file each update, I keep both the stock and ad-hoc files in the folder (/system/bin) and rename the files prior to installing any updates - the ad-hoc version gets renamed to wpa_supplicant.adhoc before updates and the stock version gets renamed to wpa_supplicant.stock after the update.
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.
Important. Root required.....
Hey everyone,I saw so many posts regarding Android & iOS that the Mac address is changing to 02:00:00:00:00 and WiFi is greyed out. None of the WiFi or hotspot not turning on.I get the same problem in my Condor and I searched a lot for the solution.I go for factory reset, full reset, flashing stock, radio etc.... But nothing helped. Some strange solution was to hit the back of the phone, put it in the freezer etc...I tried many other ways and that worked only was putting a file named
WCNSS_qcom_wlan_factory_nv.bin
In to the folder / persist....... But it worked me for exactly 1 day and the problem still continued.
So I tried a new method which helped me a lot........
Steps
1.Take a back up of folders /persist and/data/misc/WiFi
2.unzip the below attachment and put the file WCNSS_qcom_wlan_factory_nv.bin
To /Persist folder.
3.[important step].use any file manager to give full permission to the file(Use ES file explorer, I used solid explorer that provides more permission, if ES doesn't work use Solid explorer)..
4. Restart the phone
5. Now your WiFi will be back to rock............
If doesn't work try clearing the folder /data/misc/WiFi/wpa supplicant... And /persist....
If any thing goes wrong use back up's......
Don't forget to hit thanks if it worked......and don't blame me if it doesn't worked......
THANK YOU MASTER!
You just saved my life ..... *sighs relief*

Which rom?
Fixed it.
Teamsek, I clean flashed it, that is when the problem triggered, could't go past the welcome screen, tried to look for /persist folder through recovery, no luck. So flashed again with no gapps then i was able to access filemanager, saw the persist folder followed above steps, No luck. Flashing Radio worked.

Was looking for a fix forever until I found your post
Works perfectly
It seems that your method does work , I have the same problem with my LG V10 H961-n and I'm hopeful that I can fix it.
Should I root my phone first?
I also have a condor with the same problem,but I checked in the root directory and in the /persist folder the file " WCNSS_qcom_wlan_factory_nv.bin" is already there, and so is the "bt_nv.bin"...How should I make my WiFi and Bluetooth work ,it has been like this for months , appreciate any advice
i cant see any folder and i can't make folder in my phone how can i fix it?..
Thanx a lot bro, it work for my phone Moto G 2013
Self corrected?
After flashing the last ViperOS rom, my phone got the 02:00:00:00:00:00 physical address. The phone was still connecting to wireless lan but I wanted to correct the wrong address. Something weird happened while I was prepairing the phone to follow the recommended steps for correcting the physical address issue: for managing files, root permissions is needed... so when I flashed SuperSU and restarted the phone, the physical address was corrected... I don't know why, I don't know how...
This may help

Hey, I'm unable to copy into the persist folder. Every time it's showing permission denied. I'm using ES File Explorer with root access. Still it's not happening. I've even tried Solid Explorer but could not find the persist folder from that. Please help. I'm using CM 13.0. Any later version isn't supported on my device.
Thank a Lot
I was about to give up, and this was going to be the last forum I read to solve my problem, and I must thank you because it was the only one that worked and helped me.

yeah,, me too... after rebooting this file is gone
I own a Redmi 3S land. The device is rooted. I installed change my mac from the playstore to try spoofing my mac address. But, the mac address doesn't change because of this reason.
There is a file called WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin in the /root/persist folder. It has to be modified in order to modify the system's mac address.
It is a binary file and can be modified by using hex editor.
But, when I search for the current mac address in the hex editor, I'm not able to find it. If anyone suggested a way to actually spoof the mac address, it would be really good.
i don't think you can change the Mac address of your phone via editing a file, because it is hard wired in the NIC (network interface card) . i haven't had any success with Mac spoofing either but you could try ghost Mac changer:good:
