Looking for stock if you have it, or any other nvram.txt file. I want to compare it to the file I have. My MAC address has changed due to a recent ROM change and I'm curious about the whole thing. You don't have to keep your MAC address in the nvram.txt, just star it out so I know where it was at.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

Hi,
I have strange internet provide that lets only one MAC address on network. Long story short, I have to change a Wifi MAC address on my 8525. Any ideas?
I would prefer something simple, maybe a simple aplication to do so.
I have read post like
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=322225
but, it is complicated, since I need to be able to change it back to original on daily bases with no access to external computer.
Thanks

Sadly that's the only way it can be done; the WLAN MAC address is stored at a fixed offset within the ROM - the post you mention above is a guide to patching the ROM to update it with the required MAC address.

1 thought as my cable provider is like that to a certain regard,
Get a wireless router. then register the mac of the router with the provider, everything else is transparent to the provider as it would appear to come from the router ans is all ip based, aqs no Mac based services ( ie: netbios ipx/spx ) are used on the internet only on local network
hope this helps
Hi guys so i got a a US cellular ROM and used rstoyguy's blank kitchen from ppc. I took out all the unwanted programs that i dont need and i wanted to edit some registry, the thing is i couldn't find the hv files to edit. the reason for this is when i flash the phone using this ROM i edited and go to SMS/MMS and go to mms options i could get rid of USC in the servers tab. I know how to find it in the registry editor manually but what i want to do is to edit the registry in the actual rom so when i flash it to a phone the server tab in mms is already unlocked and doesn't show me USC. any ideas? or should i use another kitchen ?
In my GSM kitchen, I can inject registry changes in an .RGU file or .PROVXML file.
If your CDMA kitchen contains such files, you could look to inject your registry change that way.
Make sure to use a Text Editor that supports Unicode format as well.
HTH,
So my problem was the text editor. LOL i feel stupid now. thanks a bunch
Phone: Location Setting
Start-Phone-Menu-Options-Services-Location Settings-Get Settings
The location consent form has “US Cellular “ wording throughout the warning.
How do you edit this? I changed a lot of settings already but still no luck?
Why do you want to change that?
im just trying to make a generic rom. Without any trace of any other carrier. When you look at the USC ROM it seems to be one of the cleanest and easiest to modify, easy to understand. Once i finish this, this may help a lot of people who needs it. so please help me pls. Thats the only thing i need to take out. I found the registry in these files mxipupdate_oemoperators_104 and mxipupdate_oemoperators_106 but once i edit it just shows me a black box with scrolls on the side. I coudn't see the original consent like the once found in the registry. Instead it is blocked by another page. help thanks

Umm.. I think you are trying way too hard. Where do i get this page at on the phone?
it looks like this. how do you fix this?
First of all, i would like to say hello guys and thanks to every developer in here.
I'm trying to change my x10 (FreeX10 from here) mac address, but i've tried a lot of commands like:
ip link wlan0 set address xx:xx:...
most of them just returns me invalid operation or siocsifhwaddr error
i've tried the app Set Mac Address with no luck.
Tried to find the /etc/wl/nvram.txt there is no file in there.
Tried to look for a file with any WL inside, most of them seems code not configuration.
Have someone already been able to change this?
I need this because in my work everyone can have only on mac address signed to, so if i want to use wifi i need to set every thing to the same mac address.
Sorry my bad english.
Thanks in advance

Maybe you will find something useful here!

It may be because of my lack of knowledge on linux system, but i couldn't understand most of the commands in there, tried to reproduce but i got nothing.
Does anyone knows any step by step for x10 using terminal commands if possible to do this?
Hi to all!
I wondered if there's a file which contains information of the networks the phone is associated with. I'd need to recover the mac address of a router. I guees such a file should exist, but maybe cannot be opened as text.
Anybody knows?
Thanks in advance!
I'd like to change MAC addresses for this purpose and this purpose only: gaming.
[Android] StreetPass Riilay: The HomePass method on your phone[/url] (The forums are down for maintenance and I still have the 10 post limit)
According to that thread, Android phones have their Wi-Fi configurations in these directories.
Code:
/system/etc/wifi/nvram.txt
/data/misc/wifi/config
/data/.nvmac.info
/factory/wifi/.mac.info
/data/etc/wlan_macaddr
/pds/wifi/wlan_mac.bin
However, none of these paths contain those MAC configuration files.
These three paths exist on my phone: /system/etc/wifi/ and /data/misc/wifi/ and /pds/wifi/ but do not have any MAC address configurations.
Is there another directory where the MAC configurations are located? Is it even possible to change the MAC address on the Razr?
I've tried apps from the play store, and those don't work. I'm not using any ROMs, but I installed BusyBox files.
So basically my questions are:
1) Where are the MAC configurations stored?
2) Do certain ROMs have different Wi-Fi configurations in different paths in the system's files?
3) I am not doing this so I can connect to networks, I am doing this so that other devices can connect to my phone's Wi-Fi network. Most MAC address apps don't do that
Well thanks for the help anyway. I just copied the system files onto my desktop then looked into every nook and cranny. The answer was in my face all this time.
For anyone else who needs this in the future:
data/misc/wifi/firmware/wl12xx-nvs.bin
pds/wifi/nvs_map.bin
That's where the MAC configurations are stored. The values are stored little-endian, so just read along the first line and you'll know what I'm talking about. Change the values to your desired MAC address, then presto, your MAC address is changed. Do this for both .bin files.
This is only temporary, so you should make a copy of your desired MAC available in your file manager so you can just paste them into the directories with ease.
