I can connect to Wifi but the passwords are not saved. Whenever I reboot, toggle airplane mode, or turn Wifi off and on again , the passwords are forgotten. I tried searching for a solution and found that the issue occurs but in other phones like Samsung galaxies. They solved it by deleting the ss_data file in /efs , I tried searching for the file but couldn't find neither /efs or ss_data in all partitions.
I'm running OOS 5.0.4
And I'm obviously rooted. ??
Appreciate your time.
go to
data/misc/wifi and find WifiConfigStore.xml there is your wifi password

Help My wifi won't even try to connect. It will turn on and i can see my router but when i click connect nothing happens. It worked when i got the phone, i used toast's root then flashed to OMJ EVO 2.1 Eclair v1.3. Didn't work tried flashing with Supersonic_1.32.651.1 and still nothing. then i tried wiping the data and delvic cache and restore with the original backup i made and i still got nothin any ideas
did you flash the most up to date radio?
I was having this problem too, it may be different. My power control would show with the green bar like it was waiting for IP but would not go the bright green indicating it was connedted. If I did it from wireless and Networks it would show "unable to connect" you can find my solution here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=699752
I recommend trying this first:
In connect bot on phone, navigate to with
# cd /data/misc/wifi/
then do
# chmod 777 wpa_suplicant.conf
now try to connect from the Wireless and networks in the settings menu. If you can you probably need to do what I did to set it.
Just one question first though, Did you try rebooting the phone? Simple things some times.
Thank you for the input. i've updated radio to 1.39.00.05.31 still does not work. Then i tried changing permissions on the file you recommended...still no luck.
When i go into wireless & networks Wi-Fi will have a disconnected below it. when i go into wi-fi settings i see my home network with "not in range,remembered" under it. After about 3 secs. it changes to "remembered,secured with wep". i'll select it and push connect and nothing happens, it doesn't even appear to be trying to connect.
i noticed something today. Previously when i tried changing those file permissions i simply did exactly what you had said. Did some looking around and the /data/ folder is empty. I did finf the file in /etc/wifi/ directory.
I have a little problem, i say little because it doesn't cause my wifi to malfunction, it just doesn't connect to any remembered wifi network when i turn it on... I turn on wifi via notification bar... When it doesn't connect i just enter menu/Wireless&Networks/Wifi settings, and as soon as i enter that, it starts connecting to network.
I tested it on my own network, and few more. It is not because of rooter, or something like that.
I use CM7.2 latest nightly(14 jan), i have app2sd installed, but it worked before with such setup.
What i did is, forget the network, then connect to it again(by typing a password), but it happens again from while to while...
It's not that big problem, but i like when everything works as it should be, it's why it is there...
I have also messed with some unsigned themes, made by myself... But i think that can't eb causing the problem since i restored nand backup after doing it ... And i installed fully signed working ones now ...
refresh.....
the files that i messed with in theme somehow caused this, and i fixed it by just forgeting all the networks, then again connecting to them via password ...
hello, my gnex ran into a problem, so i flashed 4.3 factry image, after that, everything working fine, but one problem, i cant acces the google apps, can browse the internet ok,, tried many solutions, edited the host file, no luck, only thing that works is deletng the setting.db file, but if i delete it, my phone starts doing wierd things, home key doesnt respond, quick settings not working, , so i have to restore settings.db. please tell me a solution! ,
I flashed a new ROM, and when I found I didn't like it (phone froze very often) I restored the nandroid backup I had taken. When I booted up again, wifi didn't work. When I press the toggle it turns to on, but gray. Doesn't start to search for wifi networks.
I googled around for a bit and found that I should rename my "wpa_supplicant.conf" in root/data/misc/wifi. I renamed it to "temporary backup" so that I wouldn't lose it, and didn't set a file type so I know the phone shouldn't recognize it as the wpa_supplicant.conf. I was also told that after a reboot would generate a new wpa_supplicant.conf, and yet after 2 reboots I still don't have a new one and wifi still doesn't work.
This makes me suspect that the error happens before it looks for wpa_supplicant.conf, but I don't know how to troubleshoot any longer. I don't know what information is relevant, so I'll post it as a reply and in the main post as fast as you ask.
Thanks beforehand!
Hi everyone,
I am stuck on a problem for some time now and still haven't figure out how to resolve it.
I would like to prevent my phone to automatically connect to a EAP-SIM Wifi network. I have enough data and there is a good network where I live. When I walk it switches to the wifi network near me and this is actually worse than the data network.
When I try to look the internet for this, all I found is people trying to enable this feature but nothing on how to unable it (or prevent it to connect to this specific network [FreeWifi_secure, a French mobile network provider]).
What I tried :
Remove ("Forget') the network => It reappear and reconnect every time
Disable my wifi when I'm outside => work, but then, I forgot to activate it back once home. Not the solution I'm looking for
Modify wpa_supplicant.conf (/data/misc/wifi/) and add "disable=1" to the network => the file is always rewritten by the system
Modify wpa_supplicant.conf (/data/misc/wifi/) with update_config=0 => Does not work, the file is always rewritten by the system
Modify wpa_supplicant.conf (/data/misc/wifi/) by commenting "#update_config=1" => Does not work, the file is always rewritten by the system
Change owner of wpa_supplicant.conf (/data/misc/wifi/) from "wifi.wifi" to "system.wifi" => Switched back to "wifi.wifi"
Remove the network from the wpa_supplicant.conf file => Comes back and connect to the wifi
My phone is a rooted Honor 5X (KIW-L21) with the stock rom (build KIW-L21C432B350). It is an Android 6.0.1.
Thank you for your help !
