I have a rooted Note 3, and I'm trying to retrieve one of my wifi passwords. I tried using both Root Explorer and an app called WiFi Key Recovery. In both cases, the psk is a long string of characters that is not the same as the wpa password. I tried using the string of characters, and it doesn't work to connect to the router.
How can I get the actual wpa password?

Firstly, please confirm if you are checking the correct file:
/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
Secondly, try ES File Explorer to open the file.
Hello people,
I got a big problem:
TWRP won't restore my only backup. Unfortunately its encrypted...
The MD5 is alright and when checking the log it decrypts alright as well, but it fails on some firefox cache file in data/data.
So I would like to manually decrypt and extract the files (at least as much as possible) but I can't figure out how.
---
I know TWRP uses openaes for encryption. So I tried to run the following command on the backup files to decrpyt them:
Code:
openaes dec --key "[email protected]$$w0rd" --in backup-file --out backup-file.tar
But the resulting tar is not valid. So the password must be incorrect. (the password I wrote is not the one I used in TWRP to create the backup, but its a similar one with special symbols).
Someone please tell me how to hand the password to openaes correctly so it decrypts the backup file actually.
Given the password "[email protected]$$w0rd" as example..?
no special characters in TWRP openaes passwords
Late answer, but hey:
Your command seems correct. Make sure you use the same version of openaes (usually 0.7.0) as TWRP (you can find openaes version info in the log file along with you backups) .
When you try to make a new encrypted backup using TWRP you will recognize that most special characters are ignored for password input (except _ underscore).
So not your password was used for encryption, but simply the same without (almost) all special characters!

If you can't remember the password, sorry but... you are screwed.
The command you're using seems to work.
Why dont you ask dees_troy? Login to irc freenode server join #twrp channel, find him there.. he will surely help you..
SO yes this is really old....but how to you decrypt a backup made with twrp on a PC? (Linux)
I had the same problem with encryption and I wasn't able to decrypt it at all no matter how much I have been trying.
What is the point of having a backup if you can't use the data?
Know one ever had to really use a TWRP backup to recover data?
How would one recover data from an encrypted backup if the phone was destroyed and lost from a copy of the backup you had on another location.
After flashing stock ROM on my Moto G I was not able to use Wi-Fi, it does not turn on. So I tried some other ROMS from various countries and nothing. However when I flashed the Nexus G - beta 4 custom ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2606943) I got it working again.
Can someone please explain what is happening, and help me?

Solved
So, I got it working again. The problem was indeed in the persist folder, it was missing a file named WCNSS_qcom_wlan_factory_nv.bin. So I managed to extract it from the persist.img and moved it to persist folder again. After that I edited the bin file and inserted my MAC address. Finally I have flashed my phone to stock ROM again and it worked just fine.
Here's the file:
fixed
Thank you so much this fixed my problem as well
Ok. Let's try but first let me e sure how to do it.
1. Edit persist.img with the .bin file inside.
2. Installl stock rom on my phone.
3. Flash persist.img in fastboot mode.
It's that correct?

First of all check if your persist folder is missing the bin file I have mentioned. If it is, You have to extract that file from persist.img or You can just download the one I uploaded.Then you must edit it and insert your mac address and after that you just have move it to the persist folder using a root explorer.
I could not flash persist.img, bootloader was always returning an access denied message, so i figured a way to explore the persist.img file using LinuxReader and extracted the WCNSS_qcom_wlan_factory_nv.bin from it.
So basically i ''flashed'' persist manually. Copy, edit, paste.
Thanks
Fixed
I have 2 days searching the solution and try with so many files.
Thanks
Please, could someone explain me exactly (for n00b like me) how to solve this problem?
Solved
Im lost on how to do this... do i just extract the file to the persist folder??
I formated /persit folder also, tried install stock rom, but no success with wifi
The problem is: i have no persist folder inside root and when i try to create it, the folder was gone after reboot.
Bootloader dont let me flash persist.img
What can I do?
Could someone help me, please?

Wi fi problem
Hi guys,
i've a Moto G 16 Gb purchased on Amazon.De, so german phone. I live in italy and when i connect to wi fi no problem. When i go in switzerland and i try to connect to another wi fi net (my girlfriend's line) provided by Swisscom, it doesn't work: well, i insert passoword, but it cant connect ... i called Swisscom, they tried to reset router and so on , but still persist this problem. The person (swiss) that sells me the phone (i bought it as used) said that he has the swiss provider Cablecom and it didn't have any problem. I'm fully stock with 4.4.2 . Anyone has any idea? thank you
ps: with my galaxy s3 i have no problem both in italy and in switzerland
Can anyone help in explaining the above?
....to a relative newbie? I've downgraded from 4.4.2 down to 4.3 and now my wi-fi is not working anymore, the MAC address is lost.
I'd really, really appreciate any help with regards to the procedure in going about fixing the 'Persist Folder' .
Thank you for reading.
Please make any method to solve Persist folder
Downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.3 XT1034 UMTS...

I'm sorry, but can you please elaborate? I'm have this wifi issue and it's really annoying.
You say to extract the file from persist.img, but where exactly do I find that? The file you uploaded is not persist.img.
How would I edit and insert my mac address?
Where is this persist folder? I can't find it anywhere.
If you could respond that'd be great.

The file which he uploaded in post 3 was extracted out of the persist image.

You'll find persist folder at /persist.
You need filemanger with root permission, the you can see this folder.
So copy WCNSS_qcom_wlan_factory_nv.bin to your SD card. Use your filemanger to copy this file to /persist.
Activate wi-fi, the you'll find your mac adress under Settings > About Phone > Status > Wi-fi MAC Adress
Open WCNSS_qcom_wlan_factory_nv.bin on your phone with a text editor and type your mac adress inside that file and save it.
I have not tried it because i did not have this issue. But this is the way how i understood it.
simply copied the file in /persist, set permissions and rebooted
No MAC adress to enter
Works fine now
Thanks, very much!
You resolved me
Only its the put the WCNSS in the /persist folder and OK.
(You need to have the firmware with /persist).
Hi,
I recently used HiSuite to backup my honor 6x. When I backed-up the phone I chose to use a password to encrypt the files. The files are saved as .enc format. For example I have pictures saved as XXXXXXX.jpg.enc on my PC.
Here is the problem:
I lost my phone... And now I'm trying to go to the backup on my PC to recover my valuable contact information and pictures. How can I decrypt those .enc files and access my backup files?
Standing by for help.
Thank you!

Hope someone can help me to sort it out.

I did the same thing (backed up using HiSuite and password). Got extension .enc in every single file. Now, I'd like to open the file (video - .mp4) on my computer. So, I want to convert the .mp4.enc to just .mp4. How can I accomplish that? Thanks!

Not sure if it will work but select the file, double click and select the option rename and then delete the .enc part. Before trying this copy the file to another location

What do i do if i forgot my password to my backups. Is there anyway i can decrypt the backup.....
Any guidance much appreciated
Hi all, thanks for all your time and input. Is there a way of decrypting the hisuite backup folder on a pc and then somehow transferring that data to a non-huawei phone?
Probably not, so maybe my best bet would be to borrow a spare Huawei phone and recover to that and then transfer phone to phone, I have the password.
Ps. Wish I hadn't changed over phones so fast

As the information is scattered all over, here is the latest summary of the steps to decrypt your HiSuite backup folder (thanks to all the previous contributors):
The example steps assume you are running Windows 10 64 bit and running python 3.8.6:
1. Download python windows 3.8.6 version (64 bit)
python-3.8.6-amd64.exe
or select your version here
python.org/downloads
2. Download decrypt package (64 bit and matches python version 3.8x)
pycryptodome-3.9.8-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl
or select your version here (to match the Windows/Linux 32/64 bit version and python version)
pypi.org/project/pycryptodome/#files
3. Download the decrypt python script
github.com/RealityNet/kobackupdec
eg. kobackupdec-master.zip
4. Install python
run python-3.8.6-amd64.exe
create new folder eg. d:\python38 and install
5. Install decrypt package
copy pycryptodome-3.9.8-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl to python38 folder then install as follows:
D:\Python38>py -m pip install pycryptodome-3.9.8-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl
Processing d:\python38\pycryptodome-3.9.8-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl
Installing collected packages: pycryptodome
Successfully installed pycryptodome-3.9.8
6. Copy the decrypt script to the python38 folder
kobackupdec.py
7. Decrypt the encrypted HiSuite folder eg. d:\Hisuite\HUAWEI P40 Pro_2020-06-12 19.16.10
Note: destination folder eg. f:\testrestore must be new (does not exist) and the backup_password is the password you used to encrypt the folder
D:\Python38>py -3 kobackupdec.py -vvv backup_password "d:\Hisuite\HUAWEI P40 Pro_2020-06-12 19.16.10" f:\testrestore
