Re: Thumbnails, and what creates them.

I agree though, with you, that the "data" directory where the Wi-Fi
connections XML file is stored is inaccessible since Android 11
(according to the information on XDA Developers when I asked for you).

But this is Android 7.

 
I assume you tried copying it already when I gave the commands necessary.

 
The tablet, a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 model SM-T719, is not rooted, and I
strongly suspect that the rooting of it would destroy the very data that
I'm trying copy.  Nevertheless, I'd be prepared to investigate the
possibilities, but, to root it, I'd need an auto-root file for it, and I
couldn't find one.

If Android 11 is when the Google securing of /data went into effect, then,
if we assume it was not in effect prior to Android 11, Android 7 should
work.

Why not try the commands?
They only take a second.

I had already provided the *exact* commands to run, from Windows to your
phone over USB so all you have to do is cut and paste. I even provided a
screenshot. I did a lot of work to help you. It might work on Android 7.

The implication is those commands worked prior to Android 11.

Unrooted.
