Getting wifi settings from a Google backup - Google Pixel Questions & Answers

Had a Nexus 6P that died and Google replaced it with a Pixel XL. When I setup the Pixel I transfered the data from the Nexus 6P to the Pixel XL via USB cable. It brought everything over except for my wifi password and networks. Is there any way to get them from the Google Drive Nexus 6P backup without resetting the Pixel?
I understand that if I reset my Pixel XL I can then choose to restore from the Cloud pick the 6P backup and they should come over. Just wondering if this is possible without resetting to factory defaults.

[Q] Help Flashing/Rooting Before I Brick Phone

So I'm switching from Galaxy S3 to Nexus 5 and was wondering a couple of things.
1: For most phones, there are carrier version and each version had it's own rom/flashes, so for Nexus 5 I noticed that there is no separate forum for Sprint, ATT, etc. Does that mean all flashes/rooting methods work on the Nexus 5?
2: Is there something like Odin for Nexus 5?
Bump, really do need help. Don't want to brick phone.

There so no carrier version nexus 5, there are two variant, LGD820 for north america and LG821 for the rest of the world. LG820 and LGD821 are 100% the same. The only difference is a programmed chip. This chip in LGD820 programmed to work with north amrrican lte network, in LG821 this is programmed to work with not north american lte networks. This two variant is needed, because this chip only capable to handle 7 lte networks, and there are more then 7 lte network on the whole world.
Yes there are an app like odin. It is called lg flash tool, but only works with LGD820 because the dll refuse to work with LGD821, someone have to hack it to make it work for LGD821 too, and we dont have factory images, just user images so you will get the same result if just flashed a rom with fastboot.
Oh yes and nexus 5 has a mode called fastboot. You can flash system, boot, recovery images with fastboot to nexus 5, you can boot your phone with a kernel without flashing it to your phone and etc...
This would be a good thread to read through before you do anything: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2508292
Also, please stay away from Toolkits. Learn how to do things the right and safe way. It will help you out in the long run and you'll know how to fix common problems.
As @El Daddy said stay away from toolkits, those cause more troubles in those hands who dont know what are they doing than they should.
+1 for ditching toolkits

Sounds like you have a stick power button. You may have to get it repaired

[Q] T-mobile OEM images

Hi all,
I have a friend running 5.1.1; he got his nexus 5 from Google and his carrier is T-Mobile.
Since he did not purchase the phone from T-Mo, he does not have WiFi calling available.
I've been searching for a T-Mobile stock hammerhead ROM that I can flash on his phone, but I have been unable to find one.
Anyone knows if any of the images listed either at
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en
or at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/ref-nexus-5-stock-ota-urls-t2475327
would be useful for the above purpose?
Or will he need to use a custom ROM for this?
Thanks in advance

As far as I know, the Nexus 5 doesn't have WiFi calling. Even if bought from T-Mobile. The Nexus 5 factory images from Google are for all Nexus 5 devices regardless of carrier.

Thank you for the info.

Wi-Fi tethering?

Now that we have root will Wi-Fi tethering be obtainable? I didn't see it mention in the v10 forums as being done yet either. Maybe T-Mobile has that blocked?

You should try out Wifi Tether Router. It's a paid app on the app store that is pretty sweet. I have it working on the Galaxy Note 4. T-Mobile has gotten really good at blocking it but I've had more recent success with it.
If you get the app please report back to us if it worked or not!
I tried it but yes T-Mobile had gotten better at blocking. When I use it it continues to turn wifi on, even after I end the app the wifi will continue to turn on. I ran out and bought the phone AGAIN as soon as I saw it was rooted in hopes I could get tethering working. I'm returning the phone, it'll be the last carrier phone I ever buy.

I don't know if that's a T-Mobile blocking issue as much as it might just be a problem with that version of the app. You should see if previous versions work better first.
Maybe I should have. I'm going to wait for the next round of Nexus phones.

Fitbit compatability?

Has anyone got the Pixel 3a to work with the Fitbit versa 2? its not listed as a compatible device but looking for a workaround.
I got it to work but it's very spotty, now I don't know if that's the phone or versa itself but I've been able to get it to work.
