Restore WiFi MAC address after unlock. OS independent.

[Guest neysem]

Hi everyone,

I'm using Linux only on my desktop. QPST is windows only application, so I'm unable to dump FW to *.fqn. And editing binary file in hexedit is sooo evil...

So I figured out this way how to get your original MAC and how to fix the bad MAC issue.

1) You will need following:

- root access

- tool for running local shell (connectbot is fine)

- text editor (or busybox - includes vi)

2) remount system partition to RW

2a) run connectbot and connect to local

2b) type:

su

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system

3) edit config files

3a) config files are in /system/etc/nv_4319.txt and /system/etc/nv_4329.txt

there are lines like this in both of them:

#macaddr=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

macaddr=11:22:33:44:55:66

Where XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX is your original MAC address. So all you need to do is replace the 11:22:33:44:55:66 with it.

4) Disable end enable wifi connection and VOILA your wifi is up end able to connect!

I tried it on Atomic ROM and Elitemovil.

Hope it will help somebody.
