Backup / Restore WiFi Passwords topic

Hi Everyone,

I recently got a new refurbished S4 (via insurance) running 4.4. My old phone was running 4.2; still works (cracked screen but is still usable). Both are rooted.

On the old phone I backed up wpa_suplicant. New phone transferd. After saving any network that wasn't open would be deleted after a reboot (odd). I manually edited the filed and copy and pasted the info for all the saved networks. Reboot. Same.

I deleted the wp_suplicant file and rebooted to get a new file.

I tried backing up all wifi passwords using Titanumim Backup Pro (xml file) and restoring. Wifi manager now knows which networks I have saved and tries to authenticate but fails.

I deleted then got a new wpa_suplicant file. Manually entered the passwords and everything works. I compared the pass keys in the manually entered and backed up files and they are different. Was there an encryption change or some other change in wifi connection between 4.2 and 4.4?

Google backup is turned on but that didn't restore anything either.

Anyone have any ideas how to backup/restore the passwords? I have so many saved I'd really like to not have to re-enter them all.

Thanks!
