Wifi Passwords - retrieval - Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers

Hello
Can someone help me with this please?
I have a Tab A SM-P580, unrooted tablet on android 8.1
I have used this to login to many wifi networks, and I need to retrieve those wifi passwords, to use on other devices.
I have tried the adb method, but it gives me error file not found(wpa_supplicant.conf) or permission denied(/data/misc/wifi).
Is there any other way to retrieve those passwords?
All the apps I checked are for rooted devices.
thanks

Whatsapp install on wifi only, tab!

Anyone managed to install Whatsapp on wifi only tab? Not 3g.
I tried to download Whatsapp from the website ---> not possible.
Tried to install the apk ---> not possible.
If there is any solution, please share with us
Search for "Whatsapp" and you get I got Whatsapp workin' on my WiFi Tab, I guess?!.
This solutions requires you to have a rooted Android phone with Whatsapp installed and a rooted tab 10.1. Other than that, there seems to be no solution for the wifi tab.

[Q] How to uninstall wireless certificate?

Hello there guys.
My work's wireless network requires the installation of a certificate to be accessed, which is a .p12 file. I have such a file and the key to access that were used on my notebook, so I tried installing it on my phone to see if it could access the network.
Turns out it still requires some access info I'm unsure about, so I gave up on the idea. Thing is after installing this certificate the phone required me to draw a pattern or a set a code to access the phone, and tbh I was keen on having no security at all.
Now I can't enable lower level security unblocks on my phone, and I can't find where I could uninstall this certificate to remove this lock.
Does anyone know where I can uninstall it, or where I can find the file inside my phone? It's not on the root of the phone anymore.
I have an unrooted GT I9505 (and plan to keep it that way). Thanks!!! :angel:
Hi admins, pls delete this post. I just found out how to do it
Had to go through security and then clear credentials.
Sorry for bothering.

[Q] After fooling around with AdAway I have no internet connection

I was messing with AdAway to try to get it to work on a Stock Rooted ROM, and unfortunately, was never able to get that to work. So after trying to revert the hosts file, AdAway failed for whatever reason, and then I was stuck without internet. I can't browse the internet via Google Chrome, and I can't access the internet using the facebook application or any other application that relies on the internet.
I was wondering if someone could give me a default hosts file, or if someone could help me troubleshoot why I am unable to completely connect to the internet on 3G, 4G or WiFi.
I am not above resetting the device, but, I wanted to leave that as a last resort.

If you are, as you say rooted then just use a root explorer (I use RootExplorer, also can use ROMToolbox, ES Pro etc..) to delete the current hosts file; in here /etc/hosts and then reboot and it should be created anew.
Also check your date and time settings. If they are not synched many things will not work

Lost internet afterwards instaling adaway/adblock

Hi, I wanted to block some ads both on my browser and within apps, since I was getting drained up of my data plan without me realizing it (can't say it's all about the ads).. but anyhow, I have both adaway and adblock+ apks hanging around which I installed on my ex s6 and installed without a hassle (I hadn't remember if they blocked ads within apps but I was to test it), so i went and installed both and it kept saying the server for retrieving the lists on adaway weren't found, so I thought it to be a problem with my data connection and waited to get back home and try on wifi (I didn't realized that I lost my internet access since then - had a busy day at work) and when I tried on wifi, I was able to download the list and then it ask me to reboot for changes to apply. After reboot it couldn't get access to download the list (it was set an update on start) so I uninstalled it.
Then I tried to configure adblock+ and I wasn't getting any connection either, so I uninstalled it too. Afterwards I realized I didn't have a connection at all (I could connect both to data and wifi but neither was passing through). So doing some research I realized both kept 'active' (the modified hosts file was still there) so I installed them both and disabled both, but I still had no internet). Then I disabled adaway again check on the hosts file content and saw there were too lines (localhost 127.0.0.1 and ::1 127.0.0.1) or the like. I restarted and had some whatsapp mesages come through but whenever I tried to access internet trough playstore, weather widget and so forth, I lost internet access again even por whatsapp. I kept trying to the other hosts files locations (those listed within the adaway app) to see if there was the problem but it said something about needing a create a link or so and I didn't accept and stayed on trying on the default one (data/system/hosts or so). Finally, after some more tries I couldn't get internet access but I'd got an error about samsungdevicesecutity service failed and went and freezed it on titanium and afterwards I had access to both whatsapp and playstore, so I went and uninstalled both adblock+ and adaway and rebooted so as to have a "clean start" (or so I thought) and I came up again without internet and haven't been able to reproduce what I had, no matter if I unfreeze the service, freeze it again, having it enabled and how many more times this service fails. Sorry about the long description, but I would believe that having a factory reset would solve this but since I didn't had the backup option enabled, I'm not sure if I would have to go through the process of installing / configuring everything again, so I wanted to make sure I could avoid the factory reset path.. anyone knows a way around this? Any help is appreciated.. thanks
I was freshly rooted with CF auto root (s7 edge international).
Best regards
Easier to use Firefox and uBlock maybe? Free as well...

I had crystal already installed and was using samsung's internet. But I was trying to block ads on apps and failed to do some research on more recent options like the ones you mention or adguard/netguard that I have seen being mentioned on other posts. Thanks for the suggestion and for the long reading..

Well, since I didn't had internet access I couldn't go through the factory reset path (I was asked my sam account to continue), but had to flash to stock first (doing this I recovered my internet access) but since it continued with the samsungdevicesecurity error I then proceeded with the factory reset (with the downside of having to reconfigure and reinstall everything). Thanks but I couldn't be that much time without internet access (work and all).

Please help find the wifi password of saved wifi password

so I have literally checked everywhere and I cant see where to find my saved wifi passwords on kindle fire HD 8 and I can't find any please tell me where to find the saved wifi passwords...thank you.And I have tried wpa_suppliment.conf thing already
When you save a WiFi password, you are no longer able to retrieve it without root access. That's pretty much the deal on any Android device. In order to access that saved info, you need access to the system files they're saved in, which you don't have without root. That's why the available apps on the play store all require root access to retrieve those passwords.

The passwords aren't going to be visible. They're encrypted. Without root, you won't be able to decrypt them.
