How to use this?
Stumbled above this today but didn't know what to do with it :S

that fixed my phone
Hello what you have to do is boot your phone up root it and use file manager in file manager go to the settings COG and turn on root explorer and mount system RW then copy that file that you didn't no what to do with into the /persist folder and reboot that should fix WiFi for you and when you search for file explorer in Google play its the one with the yellow folder hope this fixes your problem as well

Hi sorry for not being more in depth and using CAPS
The file explorer i use for mounting the file system as RW and enabling root transfers is :

OK in the attached zip you need to extract it to your sd and then copy the 2 files SystemUI.apk and SystemUI.odex into the /system/app folder and then set the permissions as 644 or rw-r--r--
Good luck!

You need to make sure you give esfile explorer root permissions. First turn on root explorer in tools on the left and then hit the word root explorer and set everything to RW - it'll work then.

I was able to get the files moved with ROM toolbox and get the permissions set but it will still not install? Any ideas?

You will need t reboot if you haven't already....
Other option is download the full rom from the ASUS website, unzip to the root of your internal sd and let that flash from stock recovery. You'll lose everything but it will get you back up.

I have the same problem, I deleted the partition /persist and now does not turn on Wi-Fi, my folder has only one binary, do not know what the solution.
Edit: We need a binary and a folder in that partition, I guess flashing one. Zip partition be solved, just do not know how to do it, I need the files to assemble. I do not know if we can assist in that, since I have already used the RSD lite for flashing full firmware and nothing, you can not, brand error...

Any Terminal Emulator/SSH client (connect to local) will allow you to type chmod (modify file permissions)/chown (modify file ownership) commands - you need to be comfortable with using command line interface in Linux.
Alternatively, most file explorer apps (like ES File Explorer) will also allow you to change file permissions/ownership.
You will have to allow root access for the terminal emulator or file explorer.
I have the same problem. It's possible to have the solution step by step please?
I have Windows and the official ROM is in Motorola Razr HD (4.1.2).
Where to copy the file?

You have to put that file on persist folder and you are ready to go

Also went nuts with formatting and I formatted both Persist and Firmware, now wifi does not work. I have the pacman rom, can the experts please give detailed steps, sorry really a newb...
I do have Terminal Emulator and File Manager (both came with Pacman Rom)
1. Am I supposed to create a folder called persist and move the bin file in there?
- This did not work for me
Please Help, thanks!!!
Got it to work, here are some instructions that worked for me, used the bin file as opposed to zip and root explorer made things easier...

I forgot about this thread and somehow learned how to use it by trying xD Thanks anyway!
And also I suggest to use Root Browser and change permissions there.

Recovered my phone
I had this issue as well. I'm posting my results here in hopes that it helps someone somewhere who encounters the same issue.
I have a XT925 (Motorola Razr HD) with Clockwork mod recovery, unlocked bootloader and Slimkat 4.4.2 Build 3 Rom. I decided to update my bootloader to 4.4 compatible version, but in order to do that I first needed to downgrade to stock 4.1.2 I follow the stepshere for my device.
I somehow ****ed it up with an old version of RSD lite and after much work with command lines, flashing different recoveries, backups and shifting through kitkat versions I ended up with out wifi no matter what rom i was on. I flashed back to stock with RSD -no wifi, restored a backup -no wifi, upgraded rom version -no wifi. I cleared partitions, wiped numerous times.
To make a long story short, the solution in this thread worked. Simply put:
Ensure you have root access and a working ROM.
download a copy of the mentioned wlan bin file (mirror at the bottom)
get your hands on es explorer
connect your device via USB
place 'WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin' file somewhere where you can find it easily using ES explorer
enable root add on for es explorer, its in the settings list
move it to /persist, it's in the root.
hold on the file and select 'properties' or something to that effect.
change (or rather ensure) the permissions are READ & WRITE only for both owner and group (-rw -rw ---)
underneath permission you should see owner: set that to WIFI
exit and reboot
I know this is just reiterating what xXLuHXx, and many others have posted, but i wanted to ensure it was clear. You can do this via command line with adb I'm sure, but this is a fool proof way, and it worked for me.
Here are some links:
Es Explorer apk
Mirror for WCNSS_qcom_wlan_nv.bin (not sure if its the same link as the others have posted, but it's here)
Hope this helps someone

[Q] Can't find TWRP folder or backup

I am having trouble finding my nandroid backup file made with TWRP. I can't even find the TWRP directory! This file system is so confusing! I have tried ES File Explorer, Root Browser, and tried searching the file system using my laptop. I have even searched for "2014-12-13" and nothing is found. Can anyone please help? Nexus 5 on Android 5.0 w/ TWRP v2.8.1.0
I had probaby the same problem as you are facing. N5 with TWRP 2.8.1.0. After making nandroid I could not get the backup to show up within the TWRP folder (which is visible and accessible with ES File Explorer).
This issue was when I was using this specific Lollipop 5.0 rom (don't know if it is rom related or not) :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57372774&postcount=1
Then I went looking for another Lollipop rom, specifically a 5.0.1 version and found this one :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56734946&postcount=1
After flashing this rom and making nandroid the backup shows up normally within ES File Explorer. Not more issues.
Don't know if this helps, hopefully :fingers-crossed:

I'm using ES File Explorer. But SuperSU doesn't show it having root access. How do I give it root access? It was my impression that ES was THE way to go for file explorer apps...is there a better one? Obviously opinion, but I'm open to suggestion...
Edit: Okay, using Root Browser I found the TWRP directory and the backup. However when connected to PC, windows explorer can't see it. How do I move the backup to my PC? This is ridiculously complicated to backup to PC...

That's a known issue on Lollipop. It happens when 2 apps require the same permission.
Have you got ROM toolbox installed? That app is known to conflict with jack pal
If not, you'll need to run a Logcat whilst installing to find out which app is conflicting

Okay, so I uninstalled ROM Toolbox and the terminal I had. Good call :good:
So now the question is, what did that command do? Hahaha...
/data/media/0 is supposed to be the mount point for /sdcard. Sometimes when flashing lollipop, this association breaks, making your /sdcard contents (and sometimes just some of it) disappear. The command restores that

When you say root directory, where do you mean? It should be at "/storage/emulated/0" (sometimes shown as "/sdcard", depending on the app or context).
