Using root explorer mount as read/write and copy wpa_supplicant.conf to /etc/wifi and change permissions to rwxr -xr -x .

If you restart your phone, Android will create a new one but sure, you just need root access
But each time I restart my mobile there is no saved passwords so I put again wifi passwords. Why with each restart the wifi passwords memory become completely empty?
I have samsung galaxy s7562 zcme1 phone and I edited wpa supplicant conf file and now I cant access wifi so tell me how do I recover this file
can somebody please share with me the 'wifi' in the root folder located at data/misc/wifi ?
i think i deleted something inside the folder that caused my phone can't find any access point and turn off by itself after been turned on for awhile.. and i don't have any backups made.
thanks in advance, would be really grateful if anyone's willing to help.
On Android 4 I could alter the wpa_supplicant.conf file (WiFi configuration file), reboot the wifi and the WiFi driver would adopt the changes in wpa_supplicant.conf. In Android 5, however, it seems that each time I reboot the WiFi, the wpa_supplicant.conf file is restored to the configuration it had before closing down. So all the changes that I make in wpa_supplicant.conf are overwritten by something.
Who is restoring the wpa_supplicant.conf? And how can I disable that?
I browsed through the Android source code and saw indeed backup calls for wpa_supplicant.conf file in IWiFiManager, but I didn't get any wiser than that :s I understand that this could be good for security reasons, but I am testing WiFi connections and I don't have a need for this wpa_supplicant.conf auto backup...
I am a newbie...
So this question came in my mind when I removed my screen lock using adb by deleting the .key file from the /data/system/ folder....
For removing we delete the .key file, but what if we copy the .key file to our local PC using adb command and then try to brute force the encryption of the .key file using hashcat (like what we do when cracking the .cap file to get the WiFi password). Also we can use a wordlist.
If we can do this then we can easily brute force PIN screen lock because it has the limited range of possible number combinations.
I don't know what kind of encryption method is used for encrypting the plain password/pin for android screen lock so please answer this.
So please let me know if this is possible....
Also I don't if this is discussed before....

Hey, I installed a new treble gsi today and wanted to edit the keylayout on my device (S8). I went to system/usr/keylayout and edited the generic.kl file. I then saved and exited. Then I set 755 permissions for the file and rebooted. This is what I've done multiple times before with the same file explorer and it always worked.
This time, after the reboot, everything was reset to how it was before I made any edits. The permissions are not the ones that I set, but that had been there before. The generic.kl file itself doesn't contain my edits anymore as well. I can even delete all the files in system/usr/keylayout and they still show up after a reboot.
Now the question is what is overwriting my edits and/or how can I find out what's causing this behaviour? I asked the devs and other people that have installed the gsi before, but nobody seemed to know.
Me too i have the same problem
