My phone won't remember wifi password after rooting & modded kernel - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

after I came across many amendments on my phone (j7p)
twrp ,root, xsposed, Nonencrypt kernel,deleting systemapps.....
i found that my phone doesnot remeber my wifi paswword /ssid
after each reboot , also after disconnect & connect to wifi ....
I could not determine the cause of the problem.
I restored my efs via twrp, but the problem still present
so i came to a temporary solution, and i posted here in order to be helpfull to others
or if someone have a better solution... so he can guid us
first off all backup your efs and keep it in safe place
now open your phone buildprop it is in your root/system ( you should have root access,afaik) via (buildprop edditor or totalcommander..or other
then scroll down to that string
ro.securestorage.support=true
change the value into false
ro.securestorage.support=false
save it and enter your wifi info...again
try to reboot your phone.. if the problem Disappeared, then it is secure storage issue
here i donot have a specific solution ,since i use a moded kernel
but maybe you can get ride of it by deleting ss-data in efs folder (via total-commander .apk or es file explorer.apk ...)
this file contains decryption of your wifi passwords..., and other
the problem will disappear untill you flash new thing from recovery
here you can take another backup of your efs beside the original one, and give it ashot from recovery after you make Major modification
at last I hope some of Veteran members give us better idea

Thanks a lot. By the way, can you use your front flash with the modded kernel?
It's not working for me.
I don't use it but i want to know if it's an issue with the kernel or i messed up a step somewhere.

sorry for my late reply
j7P doesn't have separate front flash (led) ....afaik
the screen only turn into white when you are using front flash cam
as for me I updated my J7p firmware ...so I am using stock kernel at now
BTW there is no need to modded kernel if U use USBotg pendrive
in clear steps from stock firmware u install twrp via odin
then U can root your phone , put supersu *zip in USBotg pendrive
attach it to your phone, mount this USB in twrp then flash any *zip file... such as SuperSU,,, and then you can install xposed ....
so there is no need to modded kernel , unless you need to get backups for your phone

Bootup password
I cant change ro.securestorage.support value to false... triggers bootup password then it rejects all password, cant get through... I then have to restore my build.prop and give up

you should set it to false
not true

My bad, i mean setting it false. Then some bootup password is required.

since the problem still presnet , so i think it is not secure storage issue
any how there is a new domed kernel without this issue (remembering wifi password)
give it a shot

[Q] superuser settings problem

hi there
new android user
I got an archos 70 internet with 250gb second hand rooted.
I installed a program to enable wifi ad hoc connection but unfortunately broke my wifi settings
now I can not connect via wifi when I'm in a state superuser(I press the option to open my wifi says error and closes).
I did factory reset but unfortunately the problem remains.
when I press vol+ and power says
andoid
developer edition
recavery system
i choose recavery system
recover your system
developer edition menu
flash kermel and initramfs
i choose flash kermel and initramfs and says me
usb connection : please copy a zlimage and an initramfs.cpio.gz,then press ok to disconnect
what should I do???
i dont have a zlimage file or initramfs.cpio.gz file
help me please...
Hi guy.
Which rom do you want install?
If you want to keep archos firmware and have root, install Chulri's kernel. It works like a charm. Just download the kernel (see his post) and unpack it, it calls avosxxxx if my memory is good. Select the kernel correspond to your version of rom.
Try others rom with different kernel and initramfs.cpio.gz, like bull rc2 or urukdroid.
Read the 'how to' it's usefull
Else try recover -> reset android or reformat device AFTER download another rom on archos website ( aos file).

do you know how???
do you mean this rom??

Try this:

-Go to boot menu (vol up+power)
-enter recovery menu
-format system
-reformat device
** connect the tab to sector and wait the full format **
after the format, it tells you to put the image file on the tab.
Looks your drive and put the AOS file on the drive's tab.
press power to validate after the transfert and the tab reinstall fully the system.
I hope that will help you.

Under SDE:
Try to reinstall your wifi app, and reset all cache and uninstall it again.
If it doesn't worked, try to go to /data/app/ and remove the app. Next go to /data/data/ and remove all files in relation with your wifi software. (use rootexplorer or other similar app).
Bizcuite
@kumoto:
Please use the right terms, as you will not get the correct answers.
There is no poweruser, you might mean superuser.
And as you can only be using Chulri's root, you can find the cure in the first post there under the point about the UnionFS.

[Q] Wifi password always forgotten

I was trying to unlock the possiblity to connect my android device (droid 4, JB) to a wifi hotspot.
To do this I modified the wifi_supplicant.conf file. Since it didn't work I restored the original.
I also put a command in the terminal but now I cannot recall what, I'll look for that guide again to post it.
Now anyway each time I turn off the wifi (or the phone) I loose all the saved network, and I have to put all the password again.
How can I fix it?
Thank you!
I'm having the issue after updating my ROM, from older stock rooted to newer stock rooted.
I notice the AP entries with passwords inside the wifi_supplicant.conf file keeps getting erased, once you turn OFF and ON the WiFi
Why is this?

WiFi problems?
Try this:
Due to "securestorage" being set to true in build.prop, changes to the ROM or kernel that aren't reflected in the ss_id file in /system/etc/secure_storage/.system.bin.wpa_supplicant/ can cause issues with WiFi among other things. You can set this to false yourself, or simply flash the zip file below.
Download: Set Secure Storage to False
For those that prefer to do it manually, simply change this line ro.securestorage.support=true to false in /system/build.prop.

Done, rebooted, but still not working.. I have the same issue when turing off/on WiFi...
AFAIK, it's a bug introduced in MJ4.

[Root] J320A/J320AZ alternate method, without Kingroot!!

**does not yet work for 7.1.1**
Using a PC to root seems like moving backwards compaired to a 'one click' apk. but we're already at the PC to flash eng_boot, plus this new method is so much faster...so here we go
Features:
SuperSU 2.82
Init.d
Wifi fix
Flashlight fix
Issues:
For the wifi fix I just copied an edited J320a build.prop
So J320AZ users will see J320A in about device, and will have to reassign notification sounds. (Hope to fix it in the future)
Needed Files:
Odin
Root_J320A.zip
Procedure:
1. Unzip both files.
2. Run Odin click the 'AP' button.
3. Navigate to Root_J320A/bin and select sm-j320a_Engroot_601PJ2.tar and press "Start" (make sure NOT to check re-partition)
4. After it completes sucessfully, leave the phone hooked to the pc... and then wait, wait a good 2 or 3 minutes after its booted.
5. Once 2 or 3 minutes has gone by you can navigate to the Root_J320A folder.
6. There you'll see root.bat, double click that let it do its thing.
6a. If at any time during the script you see "adb out of date. killing..." hit the x to close the window and restart the script.
*This may work on J320AG models but make sure you check oem unlock from dev settings first... and let us know how it goes
Enjoy

March security patch
Hi man, this method support the march security patch, or are still in january security patch
I tested on AQD2 so it'll work on AQC1 too.
I assume it'll work for all 6.0 updates we get.

I suggest you put 'root' in the tile, otherwise google cannot find it.
I googled 'j320a root', google only links to ashyx's post which doesn't... well maybe only mine phone.
I am new to this root bit.
Possibly I have done something wrong. I read your instructions carefully and quit didn't understand where the unzipped files should go. Do any of these have to be placed in the phone's directory?
Failed on my AT&T SM-J320A
I wonder if it has anything to do with the new update pushed out recently
@JeffF73
Run Odin and Click ap.
Navigate to the directory where you unzipped root_j320a.zip.
In that folder you'll see a bin folder, inside that is sm-j320a_Engroot_601PJ2.tar, which needs flashed to the phone.
Once that's complete, let it boot and wait.
Then run root.bat

Hello DamienMc Thank you for your reply and help. I figured it out. I had to put my phone in "Download Mode" by holding down Volume Down, Home Button and Power button while booting. Then I was able to use Odin without failing. This solved all my problems thank you
Is it safe to flash this after doing this?

Yes, that has selinux set to permissive as well, although there's no real difference. The build.prop differences are noticable tho...I plan on doing an update to this, just have to figure out how to tell if it's A or AZ from adb

Yes, it works for QC1. However, you may need to replace build.prop in /bin from QC1 with WiFi fix before root.
I did notice that after root, the contents of /Android/data folders in both internal storage and external sd card are hidden from PC. Before root, both are visible from PC. Any thoughts about what cause the changes?
Will this work on July security patch?

Probably the eng_boot we use, it breaks the flashlight and wifi passwords too... it does work on j320a July update, so I assume it'll work on j320az update too

Reflash CSC as well, that'll wipe your device but fix your problem.
Are you sure you waited long enough after the phone booted before rooting?
If at any time during the script you see it say "adb server out of date. Killing..." something is wrong. You can x the command prompt and do root.bat again.

This was the first time i ever tried to root my phone and i followed the instructions located here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-j3-2016/how-to/root-samsung-sm-j320a-galaxy-express-t3573628
Well my wifi wouldnt save any passwords , flashlight was broken and my ATT J320A would always want to boot in to recovery mode. I thought i was screwed!!!! Then i seen one link in the thread to this thread where Kingroot was not needed.
I opened Odin and gave a shot and then ran Root.bat file, and the device rebooted wifi and flashlight were fixed and best of all my J3 was now rooted!!!!!
Still working on getting rid of that annoying pop up but all is good, thanks so much for this root and fix from the other thread.

@james2ya If you are talking about the pop that either says something in the order of "Unathorized activities where made" go to the play store, download and install SecurityLogAgent Fix, Open it up and click "Disable Securitylogagent" then restart phone when it asks. This should help get rid of that popup.
works great for me! now i just need a custom rom. is it possible to install trwp on j320a?

Need help with a samsung wpa_supplicant.conf wifi file

Hi guys!
A friend of mine asked me to retrieve a wifi password that was stored on her phone (Glaxy S6 Edge plus). I didn't want to root it, so I installed TWRP and extracted the wpa_supplicant.conf file, the thing is the key shown is very long, so apparently it is encrypted, I can't root/edit build.prop/anything like that on her phone becuse when I installed TWRP a bootloop happened and she got really scared (although I fixed it in 40 minutes, took me so long due to the bad wifi on that place and the fear of not being to fix it without doing wipes). So now I have the encrypted wpa_supplicant.conf file with an "encrypted" psk key and would like to know if there's any way to decrypt it and get the true key. I also have a Galaxy S5 and an S7 edge both rooted TW with custom kernel if that can help by copying the file to them (I doubt it would work). I also can use linux in case anyone has a solution with it.

Without root it won't happen and even then the device is most likely encrypted so you would have to unencrypted it which will wipe the device. You are out of luck.
I just wanted to help you. I had the same problem. I have samsung s5 . So I used "root browser "and In data->misc->wifi : I found this file "raw_conf.conf" And it's actually contains all my WiFi passwords. I used android 6.00 by the way and my device is rooted .

[Kali NetHunter] WIFI doesn't work after flashing with TWRP

(I posted this on the Android Mods Thread on accedent)I have a LG Nexus 5 HammerHead and tried to flash the newest Kali NetHunter using TWRP 3.5.2. After I flashed the ROM successfully, I have notice that the phone itself says no wifi networks found when swipe down to look at the wifi connections. I go to the wifi settings it says "Searching for wifi networks" with a spinning wheel of death(the loading icon). I've tried configuring it to use 2.4 Mhrz and didn't work, set it up to where it would only find good connections and still didn't work, I even did a factory reset and actually made it worse. I even reflashed it and see if that fixed it, nope. I connected it to the internet using a Ethernet adapter that is made for phones using a micro USB connection, updated the apps, updated and upgraded Kali NetHunter itself in the terminal and wifi connections is still not finding any connections at all. Could It be that Kali NetHunter doesn't support the internal wifi card that is built into my phone, could it be that twrp is having some errors on their end, or is it a bug that Offensive Security is not aware about? Please Help?
This may happen cos of wi-fi firmware. These files are called fw_bcmdhd.bin and fw_bcmdhd_apsta.bin. There are two versions of firmware:
1. https://github.com/LineageOS/androi...c531cd30abd21d93c5a04/bcmdhd/firmware/bcm4339
2. https://github.com/LineageOS/androi...5f8949fe77780d922c973/bcmdhd/firmware/bcm4339
You need to find where these files are stored in your rom, replace them with files from version 1 or version 2, restore permissions for these files if necessary and reboot your phone.

Honestly, I have been trying to find these files and can't seem to find them. I even put the file name on the search bar of my windows 10 and it can't find them either. I think its just missing firmware on Offensive Security's end in this situation. I've had a troublesome experience with their kali linux products such as kali linux itself on having missing firmware after installation. Thank you for helping me out and hopefully these files should do the trick after I re-flash NetHunter with the firmware you have provided. As a matter of fact would the files belong in the firmware folder?

You will not find them in the search bar of your windows)
And no, firmware is not missed. Without wi-fi firmware you will be unable to enable Wi-Fi at all. In your case Wi-Fi can be enabled but you didn't see any networks.
Also /firmware - is incorrect place. It is a mount point of the /modem partition.
Wi-Fi firmware can be located at /system/firmware or /system/vendor/firmware/. Try to find them in TWRP. Boot into TWRP, mount System partition, open File Manager and review all the paths i've listed here. But i can't be sure cos i've never used Kali NetHunter.

Wi-Fi firmware can be located at /system/firmware or /system/vendor/firmware/. Try to find them in TWRP. Boot into TWRP, mount System partition, open File Manager and review all the paths i've listed here. But i can't be sure cos i've never used Kali NetHunter.

Ok, I've been to those locations and in the system's folder, no firmware folder. However, in the sys folder, there is and does not show any firmware files in TWRP.
Give me the links to ROM files u flashed
This came directly from kali.org.
What was your base ROM before installing Kali? Stock Android 6.0.1?
yes
Well, Wi-Fi firmware in stock android 6.0.1 is located at /system/vendor/firmware/ folder. I've looked in the kali installer script and didn't find any scripts which can modify or delete this firmware. So we can try to install different firmwares into stock folders. I've attached 2 flashable zips for you. Try the -DHD version first. Flash it in TWRP and reboot your phone. If it doesn't help, then try -STOCK version.
It this will not help then i'm out of options

Ok, I have tried both. Sadly I guess I'm out of luck and this is now nothing but a bricked phone in my hand. None of these files worked and actually made my phone crash when I tried to load the first file. I tried the second file as well and now I can't turn wifi on. I might as well have to build my own rom or junk this phone

Don't hurry to kill your phone) Try to revert to complete stock 6.0.1 and re-lock bootloader by this instruction:

And if your wi-fi will not work then yes, something bad happened with hardware

I tried both packages and thery didn't break my ROM. Unhappily they did not help.
I use the Re4son Kernel and can set wlan0 to monitor mode. But airodump is blind then.

These are the complete Nexmon files seperately arranged.
Either you use a proper file manager with root permission, or just use the TWRP fiile manager and insert/copy them into the according sections.Maybe set the correct permission, while you're there and of course know your stuff. :>

Hi Mate, Sorry for the delayed reply. Now i can afford nexus 5. Faced same issue as you. Thanks @z3DD3r for the hint.
Follow below instruction If you want wifi.
*Boot to Twrp
*locate /advanced/filemanager/vendor/firmware
You are there
(Note: 100% you can't see the files as discussed in above thread. But those are hidden(while installing nexmon from nethunter store i have seen those already exists in same folder))
*At bottom you see permisson blue box
*Click the same-select chmod 755-swipe to confirm
Now reboot to system. Here you go.
