Help Question about rooting, flashing and saved pw's

[Korishan]

I'm new to this whole rooting and installing new rom to the phone scene. So, please excuse any ignorance.

I've done a few searches trying to find what I'm curious about, but I haven't found what I'm looking for.

I have a huawei u8800, that has several wifi hotspots saved with passwords. If I root, do a backup, re-rom, and restore settings, will the wifi hotspots/pw's be restored as well?

Thanks
Korishan

Wifi log-ins are synced with your Google account, so if "automatic restore" is enabled then they will be restored once you've signed-in to your Google account.

Some backup apps e.g. Titanium Backup can also back wifi credentials.

You can also back them up manually. your wifi passwords are stored as plain text in /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

Just copy this file somewhere safe and copy it back once you install your rom.
(you do need root to access /data though)
