Tutorial - Get your MAC Address if you already unlocked - NOW UP!

[Guest anfield786]

Well what did you install after unlocking? Have you installed clockwork mod.

No didnt install clockwork Mod. After unlocking I followed instructions to download QPST and Hex editor.

Ah ok. I would recommended installing clockwork mod and flashing a custom ROM. Bluemonte and cm7 are the best in my opinion.

Thank you very much for all your help. Will flash one of the roms you suggest. Will let you know how I get on although will probably do it tomorrow.

Many Thanks

I have finally managed to reboot my phone but now I am getting stuck in qspt while trying to do the backup. As soon as I click start button it seems like the computer stops recognizing there is a phone connected to the port and get error "Disk Error while writing to file". The phone starts blinking with green adroid....

Any clue?!

i get no ports active too

Open "QPST Configuration" by Start>All Proggrams>QPST>QPST Configuration

- A. Select "Add New Port"

- B. Input whatever port your phone is connected to (eg. "COM5" as mine was, without the quotes) in both the port, and label boxes.

- C. DESELECT The "Show Serial and USB/QC Diagnostic Ports only"

- D. Click OK

Then only use XV132 HEX editor. Other editor not working for me.

You could use any random MAC address provided that it is not a same one as other device connected in the same LAN.

[Guest wrtease]

yes you could i agree ,but if the user want to find it on another mobile he could write it down and edit it later.and also do the hex editer with his own .if they choose.

Hi All,

I have my OMC unlocked and I am now trying to solve the MAC address issue. I am getting stucked when using QPST.

First I run QPST configuration to add the port which has a phone connected. Then I go to the QPST Programme Download and the port is already selected with the attached phone recognized but as soon as I click start to create the backup the recognized phone simply disappears and the place where previously there was the phone gets "No Phone Connected".

I being unable to solve this... Can you help me please?

Thanks

[Guest wrtease]

well their is two ways either copy the text files that have nv items done and paste them in the etc folder under system or you can try the other method when you feel more confident.the choice is yours.

Also do i need to root the phone? currently running android version 2.3.5

Sorry for being a pain but any help would be greatly appreciated.
