Not sure if this has been posted, thought I'd share.
You know the stupid wi-fi bug that makes it reconnecting every time you're connected to a horrible line?
Here's the fix:
using Root Explorer, go to:
Roodata/misc/wifi
Find:
wpa_supplicant.conf
and delete it.
restart the wi-fi. that should fix. well for me at least.
thank you for this wonderful forum. I've learned loads.
see ya.
Thanks, Im gonna give it a try, this wifi problem is frustating!
Didnt work for me, besides, wpa_supplicant.conf contains the wifi passwords so deleting it will only force you to reenter the passwords for ALL the networks you work with that requiere one.
I need WiFi fix.

it will be created again when u connect to wifi.
it only contain wifi ssid and pasword if required and that conection config.
It will look like this
PHP:
ctrl_interface=wlan0
update_config=1
network={
ssid="eduroam"
key_mgmt=WPA-EAP IEEE8021X
eap=TTLS
identity="************"
anonymous_identity="[email protected]"
password="***************"
phase2="auth=PAP"
priority=12
}
network={
ssid="WLAN_EA"
key_mgmt=NONE
auth_alg=OPEN SHARED
wep_key0="*************"
priority=17
}
The firts one is my university lan and the other is my home

I'd like to start by thanking arrrghhh and BoominSVX for running thru some tests to see whether or not I had actually found a working solution.
NOTE: This solution requires altering a configuration file. How you alter the file is entirely up to you (vi, desktop utilizing adb, telekinesis, etc.).
I recommend backing up any file that you plan to edit or replace prior to mucking about with it.
WARNING: Instructions will tell you to turn off or restart Wi-Fi.
This is to ensure that the changes you have made to your configuration files are reloaded by wpa_supplicant.
Simply changing the configuration file is not sufficient!
In addition, I am not responsible for any damage that these instructions may cause to your device, your data, and/or your well-being.
PERFORM THESE ACTIONS AT YOUR RISK
The following instructions will take you through the 'long' method:
Connecting to WEP-enabled Wi-Fi (Easy/Standard)
Go to Settings->Wireless & Networks -> Wi-Fi settings
Turn on Wi-Fi if it is not enabled
Setup your Wi-Fi connection
If your AP shows up in the list, select it and type in your WEP key
If your AP does not show up, use the Add Wi-Fi network. On the popup, type your SSID, select 'WEP' for Security, and type your WEP key in the Password.
NOTE: At this point, the Wi-Fi status will go from "Scanning..." to "Connecting..." to "Disconnected"
Turn Off Wi-Fi
Backup the following file: /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
The file contents should be similar to this:
Code:
ctrl_interface=eth0
update_config=1
network={
ssid="YOURSSIDHERE"
key_mgmt=NONE
auth_alg=OPEN SHARED
wep_key0=YOURWEPKEYHERE
priority=1
}
The priority=1 may or may not be present, based on whether you selected from the scan list, or added it manually.
Edit /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf and remove either OPEN or SHARED from the auth_alg line. Which one depends on whether the access point is using OPEN, SHARED (if it's using both you can choose which one you prefer to use)
After editing, OPEN will look like this:
Code:
ctrl_interface=eth0
update_config=1
network={
ssid="YOURSSIDHERE"
key_mgmt=NONE
auth_alg=OPEN
wep_key0=YOURWEPKEYHERE
priority=1
}
After editing, SHARED will look like this:
Code:
ctrl_interface=eth0
update_config=1
network={
ssid="YOURSSIDHERE"
key_mgmt=NONE
auth_alg=SHARED
wep_key0=YOURWEPKEYHERE
priority=1
}
Go to Settings->Wireless & Networks and turn on Wi-Fi.
Your Wi-Fi status should now show the following values:
"Scanning..."
"Connecting..."
"Obtaining an IP address YOURSSIDHERE..."
"Connected to YOURSSIDHERE"
NOTE: If you fail to connect, return to step 4 and try using the other auth_alg value.
Some routers may be configured to only support one authentication mode.
That's the long method - for people who have never connected to a Wi-Fi connection, or don't mind losing saved APs can do the following
Connecting to WEP-enabled Wi-Fi (Advanced)
Create your own wpa_supplicant.conf file, either by hand, using the above code snippets, or one of the template files in the zip
Replace YOURSSIDHERE with the value of your ssid.
Replace YOURWEPKEYHERE with the value of your WEP key.
Place your edited wpa_supplicant.conf file in the /data/misc/wifi directory on your device
Restart/Turn on Wi-Fi
This method has been tested using FRX04 system image, with both Stock and F22's updated rootfs.img file, and against both FRX04 shipped and WisTilt2's debug kernels.
Feel free to share your success and/or failure stories in this thread.
lol, thanks for this. Now I just need to figure out how to communicate with my device using telekinesis....
I don't use WEP, but the masses that seemingly need it will love you for this. Still not sure how we're going to commit it .
Great work, thanks a lot!
So if I'm understanding this right, this modification is specific to an individual WEP access point, and has to be made once for each new WEP access point you come across? I wonder where we could make a change so that XDAndroid will make this change automatically.
I was trying to get WEP working earlier too, and I noticed that by using a different wpa_supplicant (not conf) file, I was able to connect to WEP access point and send and receive data, but for some reason DNS just wouldn't work.

You are correct - the configuration is handled on a per-network basis. Remembered networks will be stored in that file, so a wpa_supplicant.conf can contain multiple network={ ... } structures, and each structure could contain an auth_alg line.
I don't know the status of other devices, and forcing it to write a specific value might break ones that are currently working.
There is speculation that a newer version of wpa_supplicant (we're running 0.5.x as is my understanding) may be able to handle the conf file the way it is currently written. The fact that a you used a different version and were able to connect would tend to confirm that.
Do you happen to know what version of wpa_supplicant you were using when it did connect?

Hehehehe, WEP works. Thanks for the tip.
this is bigger for me than gettin the cam working.

wifi-ace
I'm using wifi-ace (android market or here: code.google.com/p/android-wifi-ace/) and wep is working fine.
Found it during my search for the hidden network problem.
You are able to adjust everything with this app.
So you don't need to change the "wpa_supplicant.conf", the app
does it for you.
My hidden network at home is working fine now

I do not understand how do I get to this file? I tried to use wifiace and terminal emulator but still no connection only scan, connect, and disconnect. I put my ssid and password in correctly but it still shows the lock symbol and also I can put any number in and it doesn't change just remembered, secured with wep! Any help and I really don't understand the Android SDK usage! thanks again!

If you have any choice in the matter, please, please use WPA, or better yet WPA2 with AES.
WEP is ridiculously insecure, and only slightly better than running a completely open network.
If it's not your AP, and you have no choice... wifi-ace works great. Much easier than this method, although this method does work.
With previous experience in network security, a WEP key can be broken in as little as 2-5 Minutes. 30 Minutes with no prior knowledge and just following a guide.
For security sake, use WPA or WPA2 with either encryption, they are equally difficult to break the key.
Cracking a WEP key is as simple as collecting enough unique IVs and running it against a cracking tool.
Cracking a WPA/WPA2 key is not so simple, you need a handshake packet, then you need to run the handshake packet against a dictionary attack (that can last 30 minutes with a big dictionary on a good computer) until you find the word, if it is not in the dictionary it will have to be brute-forced requiring 7392 days on a very very good computer for a key that is 8 random characters. Hackers purely wont waste their time.
WPA/WPA2 is safe, for now. Use that.

Tell them anybody with a laptop and basic knowledge can hack into it no prob. Then not only could they potentially steal your internets, they could also easily get into your machines, as the intruder is now on your LAN.
Meh, do what you gotta do. Just be wary of the consequences for choosing poor security methods.

If I understood correctly, you can try downloading "orbot" app from the market.
I found something else here:

i tryed that... not working on our phone?
I'm not trying to breaking the filtering! just easyly access to web! so orbot is not the answer... but i saw the link you shared before... not working on our phone!
any other way including the iptables way would be great

Hi all!
My GF is getting a new phone and we are having real trouble remembering her Google mail password!
We have tried all the recovery options on-line, but Google are pretty useless at recovering passwords and its driving me insane!
Now, on her old phone, it all still works, and Im just wondering if there is anyway at all as to recover or dig out the password from in the phone somewhere!
Any help would be appreciated as this is driving me insane haha
Cheers

I found this with google from another forum, password could be stored in
/data/data/com.google.android.gm/database/gmail.db
and related files to google account in
Code:
/data/system/accounts.db
/data/system/sync/accounts.xml
/data/data/com.google.android.gm/databases/gmail.db
/data/data/com.google.android.providers.calendar/databases/calendar.db
/data/data/com.google.android.providers.gmail/databases/mailstore.#######@gmail.com.db
/data/data/com.google.android.providers.talk/databases/talk.db
/data/data/com.google.android.providers.subscribedfeeds/databases/subscribedfeeds.db
Haven't tried myself cause I have no account of any type, so I dont know if passwords are plain text or hashed...
If this fails, I can share you my method anyway:
Connect both your PC and phone to the same home wifi network.
Install a POP3 server on your PC (ok this could be a pain in the @ss, I give you a hint on a easy one: Argo Mail server)
Activate and run it, then take your PCs IP (let's say it's 192.168.0.2)
Edit your Gmail account from the phone, and change the server from gmail's to 192.168.0.2, edit the ports and set it to use POP and plain authentication without encryption (default port should be 110).
Check your mail from the phone ! You just hijacked your credentials from the gmails secure server to your home mail server, that will of course give you an error because there is no account for that address. But you are then able to intercept the password because it's sent as plain text !! And should work for any email address, as long as you are able to edit the server address in the mailbox settings.
Just don't use it to bash into ur GFs email
not a clue how to get into /data/data/com.google.android.gm/database/gmail.db! haha
But i just tried you 2nd method, and i have the e-mail server setup no problem, but there isnt any options to change the Gmail address/port on the phone :s ARGH!

You can use adb shell to get that file, but I always use my dear QuickSSHd and get it with WinSCP on my pc. If I get any permission error, I open my Root Explorer and mount the root with r/w permission ! With that you can access any file in your phone/memory card.
As for the second, this is supposed to work only if you can change the address of the server and auth method ... if you are using an app with hardcoded server and port (and you could even hijack it that connection to your server) it will still be encrypted and you might not get the password...
Wow! Didn't realize recovering a password would be such a pain in the ass! My issue is I have been using LastPass and last night it decided to lose my Gmail info. Now I can only get to it from my DInc. I had LastPass generate a 20 digit secure password and it is too long to remember it all.
Google, being the dicks they are expect you to jump through hoops to try to get it back and will "get back to you" in 3-5 days. if you haven't tried They want the last password you remember, when you opened the account and on and on....
Reading this second method here, I am unsure exactly what to do. I am a noob at this linux based stuff and not terribly familiar with adb. I barely muddled through all it took to root my DInc and install a custom ROM.
A little more help? Maybe?
EDIT: Got QuickSSHd and WinSCP working together, but I have no idea where to look for the file to change the POP IP address to try to recover this password.
Never mind .....
Hello! I have a little bit different problem.... I have changed the password in Facebook last month and is stored in my Samsung Galaxy 5... How i can recover the password?

The method is good but you do not need to complicate yourself. Do not install mail server install wireshark and with a r73 or any wifi that can capture promiscuous you can sniff your username and password

Yes it works but I can't understand exactly how?!

if your device is rooted then navigate to "data/data/com.htc.android.mail/databases" and copy the file "mail.db". Then open given file in some program that can open sqlite database for example SQLiteStudio. Then locate the table with name "accounts" in which are the _password and _outpassword values obfuscated in a way that was described above. If your device is not rooted, then you can extract the file through ADB backup.
nice one bro

If this fails, I can share you my method anyway:
Connect both your PC and phone to the same home wifi network.
Install a POP3 server on your PC (ok this could be a pain in the @ss, I give you a hint on a easy one: Argo Mail server)
Activate and run it, then take your PCs IP (let's say it's 192.168.0.2)
Edit your Gmail account from the phone, and change the server from gmail's to 192.168.0.2, edit the ports and set it to use POP and plain authentication without encryption (default port should be 110).
Check your mail from the phone ! You just hijacked your credentials from the gmails secure server to your home mail server, that will of course give you an error because there is no account for that address. But you are then able to intercept the password because it's sent as plain text !! And should work for any email address, as long as you are able to edit the server address in the mailbox settings.
Just don't use it to bash into ur GFs email

if your device is rooted then navigate to "data/data/com.htc.android.mail/databases" and copy the file "mail.db". Then open given file in some program that can open sqlite database for example SQLiteStudio. Then locate the table with name "accounts" in which are the _password and _outpassword values obfuscated in a way that was described above. If your device is not rooted, then you can extract the file through ADB backup.

Before I upgraded to Android 8 or 9 I was able to edit a file
p2p_suplicant.conf to change Wifi Direct name and passwords.
That's not the case on Android 9.
Where can I change these values?
I am running Android 10 on GP 3aXL. I have two Devices A and B connected via Wi-Fi direct. On device A, i have a proxy server running. I want to share my internet connection with device B. When i scan wifi on device B, I see SSID with the name of the remembered group on device A. I try to connect and it is asking me for the password. Where is this password info located? Tx.

How?? What do you have to change in p2p_supplicant.conf to change Wifi direct username and password?
I'm trying to tether wifi using wifi direct, I looked into this 2 yrs back, did everything I could to change pass so that, I get a fixed pass everytime, not a randomly generated one, but I couldn't get anything to work, I thought it's not possible and gave up
You're saying you've done that, I really want to know
