Hey guys!
I am looking to permanently disable WIFI capability for my Samsung Android Core phone.
While doing some research on how to make this happen I found two methods, both of which I tried and neither worked.
Method 1:
The first method was to root the phone, and in the systems folder/lib/modules, find and delete the file "bcmdhd.ko". This file didn't exist on my phone.
Method 2:
The second method was to go into the systems folder and open build.prop and remove the following lines:
BUT, these lines don't even exist in my build.prop folder!
Now that I've tried both methods and neither worked, I am unsure what to do next, and that brings me to androidforums.com to ask you for help. Please let me know what I can do to permanently disable WIFI.
Thanks so much!
PS - Just in case it helps, here are the contents of my build.prop file:
