ha ha.. thanks for the reply.. but by telling "i dont have access to ADB", i meant that i am not able to connect that phone into a PC with ADB.. its a test device in my work place.. :P
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrrchvz:
Try using an app from the play store they will save the password for you if you have already entered it before.:laugh:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoberGalarga:
If you need to recover the pass directly from the device, you need root. There aren't any other way.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CtrlAltDelIrl:
Sounds suspicious to me!

If it's a work phone why do you need the wifi password?

If it's already connected why do you need to know the password?

Why don't you just ask your network admin the password if you are allowed access?

Please explain yourself before I report you..

Oh ho.. cool man.. we are in need to test an application which needs internet.. earlier we got the password for a wireless network used by the adjacent team in one of our device.. now my manager is reluctant again going back to them begging for the password.. so he asked me any other way.. even i know how to do it when the device is rooted, but unfortunately the device is not rooted and i cant root it since its not mine.. and there is no adb setup available as well..anyways we got the password..this time he sent me to beg for it.. :P

Used Wifi Key Recovery and never had problems, got the HTC M8 and now when i open the app it show zero protected networks, even though i am on wifi, changed over to Wifi Password Recovery, this one does show all the networks i have logged into but when i press on one of them to get the password, i get HTC=ENCRYPTION:then bunch of letters, non of which are the passwords. Can this be disabled in the HTC, or is it a 4.4.2 issue. Thanks in advance for your help.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] privatewarrior1:
I found the keys but they are in Hex format. Even with the usage of a an escape (0x) the wireless card fails to connect using these 24 long passwords.

Does it mean they are encrypted? if so how to decrypt.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rophiroth:
Yes, they are encypted. How to decrypt? hard to know before know what type of encryption they use, the result of encryption is a number show in hex... maybe transforming into pure binary and then transforming on something could work... but I really dont know... maybe is just a new type of encryption and the only way to decrypt is to create multiple password you know the result and compare the hex tags.

Hope someone could help us to avoid that kind of work xD

From what I've seen, the "encryption" is the password in HEX, just use a HEX to string converter to get the actual password.

2.take a rooted mobile and reset it.

3. Add your gmail account where you backuped your data.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pine Sap:
So admin/root is not required to write/change the password file, but admin/root is required to read/view it? So many complaints about this. Why not encrypt or password protect that file? Clearly many people want access to their own info without rooting. Allow a choice.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afig23:
The goal isn't keeping authorized users from seeing passwords that they entered, but rather keeping apps from allowing people to access or share access to networks which they are not authorized to be on.

For example, if anyone could access these passwords then anyone could get the password to a secured school or business network. That's why administrator access is needed to view passwords but not add new networks (since ideally, adding a network won't break anything major).

The issue is that device manufacturers believe that most people don't have a need for administrator privileges, and that it's safer if they don't have access to them. That's really what rooting does: giving you (and apps that you allow) administrator (in Linux terms: Super User/root) access. Using ADB gives you some administrarive read access to files, since at that point it's known that you have some authorized access to the device, and that you are not a malicious app.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nmbinh:
It's easily to view your password, use this awesome app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...fipassrecovery

Now you can:

- View your connected wifi passwords

- Backup/restore easily

- Share passwords with your friends

- This is FREE APP.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shallmann:
With Samsung devices if it shows hex code for password, you need to open /system/build.prop file with a text editor and change the line ro.securestorage.support=true to false and reboot. Now your app shows actual passwords and not hex string.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Suncatcher16:
Yes, it shows. But it only affects newly created entries (new networks) and not the old ones. To see passes for existing SSIDs you should retype their passwords again, which makes this option useless.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shallmann:
Sorry that it's 'useless' for you. But it does remove hex code for future connections, maybe someone else will find it useful.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgruberman:
I know this is old but I wanted to chime in anyway... I'm at a child's sporting event in which I connected to their WiFi last time I was here and one of the other parents asked me what the password was. Well I did a Google search to see if I could identify the password to save me a trip to the main office to ask them again. So it is possible that someone doesn't have malicious intent when they are asking...

There are too many people in the world that believe everyone is inherently evil or has bad intent. Give people benefit of the doubt and look at the glass half full. Maybe they ARE the owner of the network but they are computer illiterate and don't know how to get into the router to check the password because "the Internet man" set it all up for them and now they need to let their friend get on their network... I'm sure there are more possibilities...

The wifi network password on your GS3 may unfortunately not be accessible without rooting the device or having access to ADB. This is so that the needed rights can be obtained in order to access the wifi network setups and related passwords. If you have forgotten your password, you might want to think about contacting the owner of your wifi network to get it reset.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ray.Marx:
Depends upon the version of Android, can be as simple as looking in settings for it under the Wi-Fi name or as hard as searching your hardwares website to figure how to find it, as it's been readily available since at least Android 10, maybe 9, within the phone's settings. Do a search on the web for it's instructions.

Remove more bloat change boot animation added sound mods .

Dont bother to update a stable rom until a better version or better firmware is released .

All these incremental updates are usually only minor changes .

Non Touchwizz stuff never liked any of it and have a strong preference for TW Launcher .

Over time these are the problems I just can’t understand and need some light shined on them please.

Sending pictures:

I use GOSMS. However, I CANNOT for ANYTHING send pictures via text in this app. I have to go through the native app every single f’ving time and that only works 50% of the time. Wtf is going on here? Is it AT&T? Is it the rom or my phone or what?

Would going back to stock JB fix all these issues? I love the ROM(s) but the problems listed above are VERY important to get working as they are some of most basic functions phones have.

I almost just updated to JBSourcery V5 and tried sending picture using default text msg app. Still, same results. It won’t f’ving send.

Not sure about your GPS issues - mine has always been pretty quick to lock regardless of the ROM I'm using.

But in regards to your problems with MMS messaging - I had the same issue on every ROM, including stock until I switched to AOKP. I called ATT to make sure everything on their end was as it needed to be. Double and triple checked my APN settings, all to no avail. Not sure what it was about this particular ROM, but since flashing, I haven't had any issues.
