The other day after switching between an adhoc & infrastructure wpa supplicants files (for android tethering), I somehow seem to deleted my original.
Can some provide me with a copy of their original wpa_supplicant file?
Be careful your file does not include any of your wifi logins, it will if you have stored passwords.
Found it! In a different thread

As has been documented, the replacement WPA_Supplicant file to allow Ad Hoc WiFi support also has an issue of not reconnecting after sleep. Although many solutions have been offered with profiles and task programs, I just went back to the original WPA_Supplicant file so it would work as it should as I rarely need Ad Hoc support.
What I am looking for is a quick way to swap the appropriate WPA_Supplicant files in the /system/bin folder so that I could just quickly swap files when needed (which is rarely). I found a script file that would run in Gscript but the commands broke my WiFi and I had to reload the original WPA_Supplicant file with ADB to get it going again.
Does anyone have a script or suggestion for swapping files? Does Root Explorer have the ability to copy a file over an existing file in the /system/bin folder?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I believe it does but I'd save the original with a different name first, just in case you need it later. If you rename the original and just copy your new WPA_Supplicant into the \system\bin folder you won't need to over write it.
Did going back to the original solve the wifi reconnect issue? How could I do the same?
I don't need ad hoc support at all.
I'm on nookie froyo.

Yes, returning to the stock WPA_Supplicant file gave me back the WiFi without Ad Hoc capability. If you need the stock WPA_Supplicant file please see the link that I have provided below.
After my original post, I found this post that had everything that I was looking for:

If you've messed up the wpa_supplicant file is there a way to view a setting or a way to tell that you have the original file back and ready if you've attempted to update it to the adhoc fix that is out there?
I renamed the wpa_supplicant file to back it up, while pasting the new adhoc fix one in. It did not allow wifi to function on the auto-nootered version of NC i have, so i reverted back to orig file, but my process must be skewed a bit, b/c i replaced the adhoc fix with the old file, its name is correct, the permissions were reset, but still no wifi to be found.
Any ideas? I have written in the dev thread where the process is found but have found no answer.
Haha mistyped. I found it. The folder needs to be renamed and the new file must be outside of the folder. Resolved.
Try wpa_supplicant
I need the stock sprint WPA_supplicant.conf file from the system/bin folder. I need it from someone who has the sprint tab updated to EB28. My friend used a old hacked WPA file and can't get the wifi to work now and has no copy of the file.
Hello Im running stock froyo 2.2 atnt. Always had a problem with wifi not working sometimes. I was always able to fix this by replacing the dhcpcd under system/bin with root explorer.
Well this time I accidentally tried to paste the replacement dhcpcd file under system/etc and now my wifi wont work at all.
I was wondering if anyone is running stock/rooted could please give me a copy of the original dhcpcd file located under system/etc.
Ahh well nvm. Odin'd back to 2.1 then im in the process of reinstalling 2.2. A simple factory reset wont restore any files changed within the os.
So I don't post much so bear with me.
I was looking for a solution to enable the hotspot on my rooted AT&T Galaxy S6. I ran across the following post that requires flash fire and a file that appears to modify the framework-res.apk.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s6/development/mod-tether-hack-oe2-build-t3115789
I am new to changing my android OS so I wanted a solution that instead modified the Tethering App itself.
I found the following post for enabling wifi tethering/hotspot on AT&T lollipop devices by changing the tetheringprovision.apk file.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/general/how-to-enable-wifi-hotspot-rooted-t3131646
I then found information on enabling tethering for an S6 on the T-mobile network that included additional steps. Like deleteing the arm64 folder (I just renamed mine) and refreshing the APN (I suspect this is done because they also change the customer.xml file that builds the default APN).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s6/development/mod-enable-native-tether-t3078551
So I performed the following actions and was able to enable wifi hostspot on my AT&T Galaxy S6 with an unlimited data plan
Download the tetheringprovision.apk file on a rooted S6
Use a file explorer program like ES File Explorer rename the original tetheringprovision.apk to tetheringprovision.apk1
to copy the file from the download folder to the folder /system/app/TetheringProvision (in ES File Explorer you may need to enable root explorer to allow the copy)
Modify the permissions of the file (Used ES File Explorer under properties of the file)
Renamed the arm64 folder to arm64.old
Rebuilt the APN (Probably did not need to do this step)
Restarted the phone
If this works for you let me know.
PS: Does anyone know how to avoid detection?
