I own a XT1028. It's synced to Google daily. I just bought a Samsung S5 and synced it. However, the 150 WiFi neworks and passwords I've saved over 2 years are missing.

From what I've read, almost every program to transfer this info required rooting. This phone can not be rooted and I tried a dozen different ways. So how do I transfer this into to a file or to my S5 phone!?

Firstly; is your phone's Bootloader unlocked?
If not, head over to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47705438&postcount=6
Read, understand and follow EXACTLY the instructions.
Then you need to install a custom recovery (TWRP or ClockworkMod) remembering to reboot recovery to make it permanent.

Now you can flash the su binary and SuperSu, then you're rooted.

Sorry if you've tried this and it's failed, but it's the easiest way to root these phones.
