I'm trying to connect my phone to an Ad-Hoc network following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=828340 but I can't seem to locate the "wpa_supplicant.conf" file in data/misc/wif/. I have located it in /system/bin but it doesn't seem right at all... However it may because i downloaded and replaced that file with the one I found on this guide: http://sardarmobile.blogspot.com/2011/03/fix-connect-samsung-galaxy-s-to-ad-hoc.html
What I think I might need is the original wpa_supplicant.conf file.. I remember backing it up... just don't recall where I put it... I know its against forum rules to ask for it so I won't ask, but will flashing KD1 restore that file to the original?
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?
same here

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?

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

Can anyone help in explaining the above?

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).

Assuming you have rooted your phone...
First of all turn on your wifi from settings.
Go-to About > Status (under settings) and Find out MAC address of your device (It looks like xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx)
Turn off WiFi adapter on your phone.
Run Total Commander App on your device or you can use any kind of Root explorer.
Navigate to root/data/nvram/APCFG/APRDEB and copy a file named
WIFI to your SD then computer ( I am using WIFI transfer so do not need to copy it to my own SD)
Now open that File in Hex Editor
Navigate to First Row Column number 4 to 9 insert your MAC address as per step 2.
Now over save the file and save it on same path (overwrite it)
Reboot your phone and check your WIFI by Turning it on. If you want to skip this all steps then just download Repaired WIFI file from below but we will be not responsible if any damage this file cause to your Android device.

While opening the file in hex edit, the number of columns are available is 8, then how i change the 9 th column.

My only way of doing was installing the CyanogenMod ROM 11, it comes with a good File Manager and Super User permissions. Thus unable to find the folder and the file inside it.
I just connected the phone to PC and put the file inside it .. Then I went to the manager .. I released Super User options .. I marked the file in the main folder .. I went to the Root Folder .. After I entered "/ persist ".. pasted the file inside it .. I took a reset through the normal system settings and when he returned was already running again.
I hope it helps those who do not understand very well, just like me.
Below is the picture of how I found the folder. PS. The file is already there because I put.
Sorry for the english guys, i'm from Brazil. Google Translator!
Hello everyone.
I have a nexus 5 which is having troubles with wifi (usual 02:: MAC address, no wifi connection) and hotspot.
I tried to change the MAC address with different tools, but it didn't work. I tried as well to put in /persist/wifi some files with the mac address, but still not working.
I've also noticed that inside the /persist folder there are many files and folders missing. I think this may be the reason of the problems.
My question is: how do I restore the missing files?
I tried to search someone sharing that folder(no success), but I understood that I may encounter other problems.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
