Thanks again for your help, xiaoyaoswim!  I will bookmark your advice and will try this method should I need it because...   in the meantime, my WiFi suddenly started to work!    I was trying to look up my location in maps, and got a message that it could not be determined so I opened up Latitude and was prompted to switch on WiFi and for some reason, this time it worked.  Should I lose connection again, I will definitely try your suggestion.  Thank you for your support.

You are welcome. It's a surprise that your wifi suddenly started to work but a lovely surprise isn't it?

XV132 hex editor can be downloaded here.

If you want to try QPST again try this as it was giving me lots of errors and failed to back up until I tried this method.
1 Stock recovery on phone.
2 Boot into FTM and once in that mode put battery back in.
3 Start QPST configuration - in ports tab click add new port and pick the usb one that is your phone - in IP Server tab tick (accept client connections) go to top and select start clients - software download.
4 on new window got to backup tab then browse in line with the drop down list, in new window at bottom filename just type in there backup and at the top were it says save in select somewhere you can find it then click start, once finished.
5 open saved "backup" file with xv132 - file - open (locate file) then click search - find and in hex string type 11 22 33 44 55 66 then ok then search - replace and 11 22 33 44 55 66 should be in the top hex box and put your mac in bottom hex box and click replace all - save.
6 Back with QPST click restore tab browse to file you just edited -select - ok then start.
7 once finished pull out usb cable boot phone.




All the files you need for stock recovery and clockwork mod are in the first post follow every step down to and including 7 then do above then
15 Power on the phone and turn on USB Debugging.
16 OPTIONAL – go to “POST-UNLOCK FOLDER” and run the bat file again – this installs ClockworkMod

I unlocked my phone before the mac address fix, and I subsequently went through the tutorial on how to fix this. I had previously changed the MAC address back through ES File Explorer, but as I was experimenting with ROMs, I kept having to use 3G to download ES File Explorer in order to fix the wi-fi, so I decided to follow the tutorial. The trouble is, that although my wi-fi now works (mostly) without problems (except for a very weak signal), whenever I connect to it, it comes up with this message 'your phone doesn't write MAC address, please confirm'.

I have no idea what this means, or what I have to do to fix it, but when I go into ES File Explorer, the MAC address seems fine.

Do you mean the tutorial on how to fix mac address? If so - wrong thread.

yes, I do, but it doesn't make that much difference, its basically the same process in a slightly different order. I'll post it in the other thread though.

Just unlocked only one small mistake or was it?? did all the steps as stated when it came to step 13 the phone was not recognized so I just disconnected and it all seemed to work so I thought must have been me however although the phone was unlocked it would not do certain things ie go into recovery to flashing new rom and other things. So I went through the whole procedure again this time when i got to step 13 again said the phone was not recognized so I unplugged it re connected and put it into FTM mode and hey presto away it went. ALL done now new rom on it (bluemonte) so thanks go out to all who put this guide together and the rom maker cheers. Donated cheers

[wadexenon]

Hi, thanks for the hard work of all the guys on this unlock.

I've run into a problem. Got all the way to memory restore after the unlock. The download software shows the phone connected on COM5 but when i click restore the phone dissapears (COM5 No phone connected message is displayed) and I get a Memory restore failed message with the error: Could not Communicate in Diagnostic Mode.

The phone goes into an infinite loop of buzzing for a second turning on to the android logo then resetting.

Any help would be really appreciated.

edit: I should add the first time I ran the flash it failed randomly. I ran the flash a second time and it came back successful.

That indicate you didn't put the phone in FTM mode. Do it, and try to restore qcn file afterwards.

Thanks for the feedback. I made sure FTM was turned on when i first tried and just tried again to make sure. Getting the same problem still.

Oddly I just threw the battery in and powered up out of interest and the phone is unlocked without the backup restore- I would have thought that was a required element?

I did try to post-unlock clockwork mod install and though it seemed to run smoothly it is nowhere to be seen on the phone.

Should I just try downloading it from the market? Should I expect any problems re not restoring?

Thanks in advance.

Clockwork Mod is on the recovery partition you boot into it to backup/restore or install a new ROM.
Best read the Pinned Clockwork Mod thread.

You may have lost you're Wifi Mac address if you didn't get your qcn backed up or restored but there is Pinned Thread on recovering that too.

Once in FTM you need to put the Battery back in before you can backup or restore with qpst.
