Guest T39andcounting Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 I want to wipe my Hero to give it a fresh start, but I don't want to loose all the Wireless passwords I've entered for various locations. Also, my OH might be getting an Android phone, so it would be good to be able to transfer over all those passwords rather than doing it manually every time we arrived somewhere with secured wifi that I have the password for. I'm sure I've seen an app like this mentioned on the forum, but I can't find it, and a search of the Market doesn't come up with anything either.

In /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf you will find your wireless passwords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest T39andcounting Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 In /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf you will find your wireless passwords. Using Linda Manager to look, there is nothing in my /data folder in the root of My Phone. The folder is empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest maddiez Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 maybe you should try "root explorer", some file managers doesn't show system files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shenshang Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 maybe you should try "root explorer", some file managers doesn't show system files. the only ones i know of are root explorer, sufbs and estrongs file manager. you could also use adb: adb pull /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf #DIRECTORY ON PC# for example, if i want to copy it to my C:\ drive... adb pull /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf C:\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Root and Cache are also showing up as empty folders. Am I doing something wrong here?
