do you have terminal emulator installed? If not, get one from the market. Then it is just wpa_supplicant -v

hmm....then odds are you are not actually rooted properly. I have found that UniversalAndroot can sometimes give a "false positive" in what it does and what rights it has actually granted. Try re-rooting your device using z4root, also available from the Market.

Now that I am home, I went to download Z4Root directly from the market on my S7, but I can't get it to connect to my home network now. It was working great last night and this morning before I left for work.

EDIT: I had to toggle my wifi on/off to get it to connect.

Downloaded Z4root, ran it, rebooted and tried the command in the terminal. I am still getting the came permission denied error.

A wild shot here, it is possible that the new wpa_supplicant was actually working, but you need to disconnect wifi and reconnect or something? Turn it off and back on. The message you saw might just have been it failing to reconnect after the boot. Give us more info, when it didn't work, could you still see networks in the WiFi setup? Be sure to pick a different channel for your phone than your home router. Otherwise I guess I don't know.

Hi Brach,

No, I don't think that is the case. When the re-boot was complete and the S7 was back up and running, I went into the Wifi settings and saw that under the Wifi on/off option it was unchecked AND there was a gray message under it stating "Could not start wifi". I tried to toggle it on, but it would just fail and give me the same message. I tried another reboot, same thing. The wifi connection is disabled in this state and I can't see any networks, due to this. Copying the backed up wpa file and a reboot restores my wifi to working order (at least what it was out of the box).

One thing I forgot to mention was, when I went to copy the wpa file over to the /system/bin/ folder, I got a complaint that I didn't have enough room. I clicked ok and then tried again. It let me copy the file over and never complained about this again. I checked and I have a good 40 MB of space, so I am not sure what that was all about.

Hope that helps.

Well, I don't know, unless you have a corrupt file or something. Why would it give you a not enough space error? It should be 312,440 bytes long.

It's got me beat. I tried to download the wpa file a second time, with a different computer but it did not make a difference.
