Guest glossywhite Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 (edited) Right. Let me get this straight. When I unlocked my OMC, I then copied the .txt files with the MAC addresses, via adb pull. The commented "#" MAC address was totally different to my original MAC address, which I took screenshots of before ANY of this was done, but the UNcommented MAC address was 11:22:33:44:55:66. So, are you suggesting that we give the handset a brand new MAC address, by copying the commented one, and putting it in place of the UNcommented 11:22:33:44:55:66 ? I just wanted to get this straight in my mind, as there always appears to be a mass of badly explained, confusing (and conflicting) info on this forum, not pointing out any one person, we're all human, but it pays to slow down, step back, and take account of what's going on, to save confusion. In a nutshell, the lines I see in my nv_4319, that pertain to MAC addresses, BEFORE fixing them, are: cckpo=0 ofdmpo=0x11111111 mcs2gpo0=0x8888 mcs2gpo1=0x8888 boardnum=1 #macaddr=00:90:4c:14:43:19 macaddr=11:22:33:44:55:66 My original MAC was totally different to the one commented out on line 6 of the code above. Do I clone line 6 MAC to line 7 MAC, or do I replace BOTH MACs on lines 6 & 7, with the original one I screenshotted, pre-unlocked state? I suspect that the red MAC address on line 6 above, is seen by many other people on the forum, seeing as we're all using the same method & files; is this correct? :) Confused? yes. PS: Yes, I know we must do this for /etc and /system/etc, four files total. Edited November 11, 2011 by glossywhite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually it doesn't seem to matter whether you use your original mac address or the one on the uncommented line. They both cause wifi to work but with different mac's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both cause wifi to work but with different mac's Okay, so to re-iterate, you're saying that the commented AND uncommented MAC has to match, and it doesn't matter if I use the new one, or my OMCs' original one, so long as they match? Also, why does the #commented MAC address even matter? A comment is not read by the software, or interpreted... is it? Just have to get this clear. Thanks mate.

Just have to get this clear. Thanks mate. no. The commented one doesnt matter. It can even be removed if you like. The uncommented one has to be a valid mac address. This can be your original address, the commented address or any other valid address you can think of. Hope the above sorts the confusion :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a new thread with people showing if they have or have not got the wifi pop up and what method they followed and what they started with. Although knowing you by the time I have typed this you will have figured it out and posted an update. lol. Noticed at the bottom of nv_4319 #country code ccode=FR should that be UK or GB Edited November 12, 2011 by putbinoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noticed at the bottom of nv_4319 #country code ccode=FR should that be UK or GB I'm the one that doesn't have that pop up :P Backed up my CM7, flashed Stock PT, unlocked like everyone, flashed CWM, restored my CM7 backup, changed my mac address. Nothing else... Yeah, I noticed the same, simply changed to PT and all good.(tho I don't know what implications that might have) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mikejgeo Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Arrghh, Have unlocked ok but cannot root so cannot alter Wifi Mac address. When I run the batch file I get: adb--windows.exe reboot bootloader error: device not found then when the batch file wants to run the next part, i.e.: fastboot recovery recovery.img <waiting for device> drivers are correct and installed, no exclaimation marks in device manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone read out these text files BEFORE the new unlock? I only copied the mac parts and they where the same before and after the unlock which makes me wonder how changing the macaddr=11:22:33:44:55:66 to the original mac worked when the original mac was not in there when the wifi was working before the unlock. If that makes any sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest painkiller_93 Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 (edited) I have the same problem as Mikejgeo , I have debug mode active but when I plug the usb it doesn't say usb debug donnected, just usb connected, so I think debug mode isn't working, maybe we have to install another stock rom?
