Hello,
I've problem with some custom roms (full wipe), where I'm not able to connect to WIFI.
Just remark now that in this case, there is no MAC address in advance parameters of wifi configuration.
I've tried to flash from a working rom without wipe data and the wifi works (but rom has bugs). So I think there is an app somwhere (or app's data) that is missing in the problematic rom.
Did anyone know wich application read the MAC addres, so I can try to restore it from a titanium backup?
Thanks
None of these helps?

And instead of eth0 i think to remember it has to either be wlan0 or something very similar to this...
You'll find it out. Try busybox and fixpermissions from within RomManager first.
I've already try to fix permission in Rom Manager.
Just copy the Wifi folder in system\ect of a working rom, try to restore the other rom to compare what I have in it
Thanks !
ok, I give up...
folder system\etc\wifi doesn't matter, there some missing data somewhere else but too lazy to get it work, so I change rom

Unlike other cases posted previously...
All files in efs were deleted, including all hidden .bak files
Now, kies displayed my phone have a product code of XXXXXXXXX and a fake IMEI...
Is it possible to restore the nv_data.bin and other files??
Please help! Thanks....
I have the same problem, is there a solution for that?? Please answer!
Did you install sgs toolbox and used it's check product code function before you deleted your efs? If yes, there is still a chance. If no, there are currently no public fix available yet.

We are on the same boat, as what francis posted. No public fix yet but pretty sure there will be.. its just a matter of time.
the same thing happened to me yesterday when i flashed Cyanogenmod 7, got fake imei but everything worked just fine (call, data, market).
today i deleted everything from efs folder using Root Explorer then installed i9000XWJS5 then, surprise, i got my original imei back.
do not know how and do not know if it will work on you but it worth a try
The same thing happened to me.
If I dial *#06# no imei appears.
In order to use the phone everytime I boot up I have to give r/w permission to system folder. Otherwise it doesn't recognize the sim card.
It seems to me that that the device is not anymore able to recognize itself.
If I try to install CM or other AOSP rom I have status 7 error.
In Rom manager I have a window where I should select wich kind of device it is.
In fastweb installer there is a list of devices and I have to choose wich of them I am using.
I know that there is nothing to do with warranty. But is it possible to go back to a stage where it is possible to install AOSP rom?
Thanks
don't know it may work or not, but some custom roms make a backup of the efs folder on sdcard under /sdcard/backup/efs or /sdcard/backup/efs-XXX
(XXX= some numbers). you can try to restore it from there.
again don't know for sure...

I have checked, but there is no backup.
I know the only one to blame it's me.
Do you think that there is anyway to make possible installing AOSP rom?

Hi!
In my device I have saved passwords to various WiFi hotspots around the city, so when I get to a certain place I can connect to their hotspot automatically.
I will be installing a new custom ROM and would like to somehow save SSID/password data for all my hotspots and have them restored on the new ROM.
Is there a way to do it?
My current ROM is some version of NRG.
Thank you!

You can either locate the registry and export it or use a backup program such as SPB back up and restore it that way, but you probably should locate it in the registry so you know eactly what to restore, as restoring other registry settings can mess up a new ROM.
Couldn't find anything in the registry. Can those settings be hidden somewhere else? It's pretty simple to do it in desktop Windows version, so I guess the same should be available for WinMo. Thx!
The settings must be stored under:
HKCU\\Comm\EAPOL\Config\
Hello Guys,
I want to edit the ro.romname Part in the buil.prop file.
When I pull the File via adb to the computer and edit the Romname to what I want and save it and push it back to the Phone it has no network connection after reboot. And there are some other issues too.
I tried it with RootExplorer too, but the same problems.
What is my problem or what I´am doing wrong?
Has anyone sucsessfully edited the build.prop ?
Please help me!
Thanks
Can nobody help me ?
I've had the same problem as well, I think there's some code that checks the build name and then disables the radio if it has been changed.

Yes I think so, but I couldn´t find something that checks the name. I hope someone can help us.
It´s good to hear that I´am not the only one who has this broblem
I tested what else happens when I change this code:
- Android Market is deleted
- All apps which need a internet connection crash at start
- google accounts are deleted from phone
- network connection is disabled
But my quiestion is now whick .apk or File could cause this problems ?
can someone upload the build.prop for me? would like one from android 2.3.4 thanks
the permissions has to be set!
only change name of rom. "ro.modversion="
is your ROM CM7 based? If so, as already mentioned, there is functionality that shuts off the radio once the ROM Version was changed to prevent KANGing the releases without crediting them
Hi, I'm new to the forum and fairly new to flashing phones, although I fix computers so I was a quick learner.
Anyway, I have recently flashed my Galaxy Mini with the cyanogen mod I found in the galaxy mini developers sub-forum on this very site and come across a number of problems. Some of these I have fixed using my own best judgement and others, however I'm still having trouble "cleaning" the functionality issues.
For the record can I just say, I love the mod and my thanks and congratulations go out to all the devs involved. Well done!
So, my issues so far...
wifi issues - sometimes hangs on the obtaining ip address part
Android Market - installed both old and new versions (including the download link on the cm 7 thread) - installs fine then asks to create new account, I click ok and it closes the app
Creating sync accounts in settings - gmail, hotmail etc will not add (error: Setup could not finish. Unable to open connection to server
Downloading from internet - I have constantly been clearing the data and cache of the download app and browser and after a couple more downloads I have to repeat these steps. Anybody know a permanent fix for this?
Email: also not completing user accounts registration
I have searched and searched both this site and others for solutions to no avail. I love this mod and am very impressed with the tools included and my one wish is to be able to use it to the best of its ability. When I installed the update from sd card, my installed apps were also deleted (from the sd card), which I found strange, but thought hey, no problem if I can just download them from the market again right? But obviously since I cant run the market app, here lies my problem.
I hope there is a solution to this problem that doesn't involve reflashing my phone. I would be saddened to have to give up on this mod as I love nothing better than to get the most out of my phone.
Also just to clarify, I followed every step detailed in the CM 7 thread exactly as outlined and the flashing process was a pass for the cwm and the update completed successfully for the CM 7. I also cleared all data and wiped cache partition before and after each step as outlined.
Thanks for any comments/suggestions and I look forward to joining you on the forum.

No idea about wifi - not used it.
For market crashing, try this:-
Settings > applications > all > Market. Try clearing data from this.
You ought not have to create new account for everything. Creating /adding a single gmail account will work for email and market and address / contacts, google+, maps, etc.
Having to clear browser cache / data - I do not "download" much, but browse a lot - including the picture / video rich sites. Have not much problem, though occassional clearing cache / restarting the browser does help speeding up page loading. Probably has to do with low device memory. Did use other third party browser - like dolphon (opera is the reason I moved away from Nokia), but am back to stock html viewer now.

Thanks for your input. I managed to set-up gmail under the email app but it wouldn't accept my hotmail account (it used to before the mod)
I have lots of free memory on both the device memory and sd card. I also have plenty free ram. My phone runs like a dream now to be honest.
I have just tried an apparent workaround by installing youtube on the phone, however although I can use it no problem, when I try to add an account I get this - Unable to authenticate user (before it even asks me to input my information!)
This really sucks =(
I can't sync or download anything through market.
Also, I have cleared the data and cache several times to no permanent avail, as I mentioned in first post.

Wifi -issue...i have this sometimes.But even in official 2.2.1.And this issue is when reconnect at same brodband or at remebered wifi networks.I solve this issue sample.
-Turn of your phone Wifi,disconnect your brodband from power energy,wait 10 seconds,plug in againr brodband,wait him to load ~1-2 minuts,after reboot your phone turn on again wifi and manual connect to wifi.After auto-reconnect will work a wile with no issues.
For other sync email and contacts you need to isntall googleapps.zip via CWM at first run setup your Gmail acount.After no issue with others.
Also you need to make a correct install of CM and googleapps.zip.
1.)Install official 2.3.4 KPI using tools from samfirmwares.
2.)After install CWM using ODIN like in tj's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1167750
3.)Install CyanogenMod via CWM
4.)Boot up your phone and disconnect from 3g network and connect to wifi
5.)Reboot phone in recovery and flash googleapps.zip via CWM.
6.)Boot your phone and setup gmail acount.
7.)add your acounts and sync.
If you make this you shall not have any kind of issues with acounts sync ,only sometimes with wifi.

Hi, thanks for your suggestions - I've been waiting all day for a solution like this. I already have cwm installed as I said in first post. I will try reflashing as a last resort.
However, I am trying your theory on installing the google apps zip file through cwm now and will let you know how it pans out. Thanks!
Damn. Always something goes wrong! Log from cwm ; Finding Update package>Opening update package>verifying update package>E:signature verification failed>Installation aborted. Grrrrr
Previous installations have been fine through the choose zip from sd card. However, on attempting another zip (flash 10.2) also doesn't verify either (worked before)
Whats going on?? I'm at my wits end =P

You can toggle "signature verification" in CWM recovery menu. (Not sure where exactly that option is - but recovery menu is not too deep.

All, I am using CM7 for Galaxy Mini 09102011 and I have ony one problem:
Somehow the MAC address of the Wifi device in the phone is changing every time I disable and re-enable Wifi connection. This was a problem, since because of that I had to disable MAC address filtering in my home network just to prevent myself always setting the new MAC address in my router's MAC filtering "white list".
What I observed that the changing part of the MAC address is always the 2nd half (meaning the last 3 pair of hex numbers)!
Does someone know a fix how to prevent Wifi MAC changing?
Some people say that the don't have this experience with the previous release of CM7 for Galaxy Mini (01102011).
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,

I haven't noticed this kind of problem before with CM7 personally and I wish I had a fix for you. Perhaps it may be better to back up and try a reflash? Assuming you haven't already tried that of course!
Sorry I don't have any other methods but I noticed nobody is replying to your question!

Yes, this problem is not there in CM7 01102011. You can try flashing it after a nandroid backup. I had similar problem with latest (09 10) CM7 so I restored my previous backup and everything is fine now...
Hello
Can someone maybe help me with my problem ?
After i changed my mac address to 02:xx:xx my wifi doesn't turn on anymore and i have also no possibilities to change it again...
Phone: Red Magic 5G
Build: EN Common V8.11
Root: Yes (Magisk)
Android 10/Q
Any idea is welcome ! ^^
Best Regards
Akizuma
Have really no one the same problem ?
Or maybe a backup from a Red Magic 5G that still works ?
Why did you change your MAC address ?
You do NOT need to change your MAC address in Android 10, because you can choose for use a random MAC due privacy issues.
Your MAC address is shown only to system apps, all other apps, can NOT see your MAC address.
Android 10 masks your MAC address to 02:00:00:00 if any user app try to read MAC address.
Try my app and you can see it: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ackage-com-vitaodoidao-vdinformacoes.4097379/
The problem is i can't start my wifi anymore or change it its not possible
And the next problem that i got is that i broke my persist folder so i have no possibilty anymore to see my screen (i need a original backup from a Red Magic 5G...)
I broke way to many things.....
Firstly, how did you change your MAC address ?
With a app from the google play store.
I started it and then pressed hard change.
After the restart my wifi was broken.
Then i tried with
Busybox to change it again but the wifi card doesnt show up so i looked up in the root explorer for the file where my mac was saved and i found it (it was wlan_mac.bin) the only problem i can't change it not even after i got all permission. (After many hour of tries i decides to delete it) but it still comes back with the same mac adresse.
So i decide to delete the folder and that was the moment where i dont get any screen signal from my phone anymore looks like in persist are files for calibration screen etc)
I'm really desperate right now, I don't know what to do.
Don't create multiple replies, if you need, edit your last reply.
Does this app was designed for Android 10 ?
Obviously, not.
Because Android 10 will never allow the user to change MAC address.
Your MAC resides in your NVRAM and NVDATA.
Once you format your data, your NVDATA is formatted and a new one is created.
And then, the NVRAM is copied again to NVDATA.
So, erasing NVDATA should fix your MAC.
(I've said to erasing NVDATA and not NVRAM. If you lost your NVRAM, you lost your MAC and IMEI forever.)
Probably, you need to wipe your data too, I'm not sure, so I suggest you to make backup first.
Good luck.
