If you've done your research, then you would have come across how to change the mac address temporarily.
But I've not been able to find a solution for permanently changing the mac address - other than to 11:22:33: ...

I've not used the temporary method (I wanted a permanent solution), so I can't help you there. Try posting a question in the thread that explains the temporary method.

Sorry I wasn't sure whether to bump the old thread or make a new one, I have found a temporary solution (credit to ☁.ws/):
1. Type "su" into terminal
1. Turn off WiFi
2. Turn on WiFi
3. Wait 500ms
4. Type "busybox ifconfig wlan0 hw ether 00:11:22:33:44:55" into terminal (replace 00:11:22:33:44:55 with desired mac)
Important: If you wait even for a complete second, It won't work
I saw this thread before, I guess my timing wasn't right then, but this is working now (confirmed on Cyanogenmod 10, Android 4.1.2)
to check if it worked just run netcfg
** This will reset if you reboot or turn off wifi **

English is a wonderful language. If I had said "if you *had* done..." that would have meant that I didn't believe you had done the research. But by saying "if you *have* done..." then I'm saying you have done your research and, in the process of it, you would have come across the information.
So, no criticism was made, nor intended.
Like I said, English is a wonderful language.

I misinterpreted the "you have" for "you did" because you said "if" before, you're implying if I did something, or if I did not.

Cab someone direct me to the "one click root"? And maybe even to the downgrade if you can?
I have to root my replacement device but I have no internet. So I'm downloading everything to my phone then transferring the files to my friends laptop. So much work. Lol. I can't find these things on the XDA App.

There is no "xda endorsed" method to "one click root" because such methods for the thunderbolt are prone to screwing up your phone and leaving the person doing it in a world of headaches (since if they're using such a method, they have no idea how to undo it probably and even less of an idea of how to describe what they did to someone who could help them). The methods that are out there though are just a hacked together automated method of doing what the stickied topic in the development section does manually in steps.
You're better off not rooting if you don't want to try that or wait/pray that someone with time/patience will walk you through that method.

I said endorsed (it's listed in the stickied post for noobs in the development section, but it's not on its own like the manual method) and not prone to errors. Not sure what you didn't understand about it since I never said methods didn't exist and weren't posted. However, that does not mean you're going to see it stickied at the top of the development section and recommended using. Just because it works for you (the time you tried it) doesnt mean doing it isn't gambling with everything being configured correctly and something unexpected not happening outside the scope of what the automation script for rooting can do.

The way you wrote it sounded like you were implying that it wasn't on XDA anymore. I don't really care if it destroys my phone. If it does, ill get a new one or just fix it. I can't install SDK on my friends computer cause he doesn't want it on there. All I want is a link to the thread or download. I know all of the possible dangers in doing this. I have done this multiple times.

I'm on my phone. It's not on the stickies. If I was rooted, id screen cap. But I'm not. Lol. Thanks for the help, but hboot is telling me main version is older when I try to downgrade. Then it forces me to reboot. So no root for me.

Short answer nope.
You can stop looking cause there will not come an " awesome app for all the noobs so they can hack the world"
But i think that one nokia phone could do it, maybe nokia n900 or n9000 but im not sure

OMG im not a noob and i did look on Google.But all i find is this IwifiHack but no ware to download it.
Backtrack 5 can do what you want. If you can install that and hack WiFi with it, you definitely are not a noob.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Hi just bringing this one back up as there is a lot of people that are looking to crack wpa from there phones and a lot of people looking to do so and again a lot of people saying it can't be done.
So 1 it can be done i can crack just about any wifi within 3 to 5 min from my android phone "that is a droid 2, got it for the keyboard ^^"
2 it will cost money as you need a remote server or you can use your pc but it will take a long time... but its free...
I'm not posting the apk that i made as its my tool "the hacker makes the tools, the tools don't make the hacker".
But here is the way to do it, all you need your phone to do it to get the handshake thats easy and light to do any smart phone are day's can do it + the cap file i light to so easy and fast to upload to a remote server.
here is were you need that remote server or pc running linux "backtrack if your lazy". once you uped your file to the server you can do all the rest over ssh again can be done no problem with your phone i do it every day "not just for hacking/cracking".
you run your scan to fin the password on your server + you don't even have to have your phone on all the time and don't have to stay next to the wifi spot to stay incognito.
and you done, you can even edit the app up to mail you when its found the key "i have not done this to lazy lol"
there i hope that helps some people to point you a way to the road of cracking wifi's.
peace out !!

good option
In response to that long post, I'd have to agree with the guy above me... You're not cracking on the phone. Which IS possible.
I'd like to know how you put your wifi adapter in monitor mode. So far I have found no drivers for any Android fone except the notorious nokia that allow for monitor mode or injection.
Cracking can be done with the aircrack suite by passing the cap file to it. I run it under debian in a chroot that had r/w access to the Android and root filesystem.
Cracking works. Monitor mode doesn't. In short.
Edit: injection is needed for wpa2 de-Auth, which is needed to sniff the handshake. At least as far as I'm aware. I've never done it without booting a client off.
Are you sure you've even captured a handshake on yer f0ne?

There have been a "team" which had successful edited a driver allowing for bypassing the kernel blablabla **** in short term the wifi chipset bcm something is running in monitor mode but the kernel / driver only takes a bit of the info passed from the wifi chipset.
What those guys did was editing the driver = allowed monitor mode. But I think that the thread is a bit dead now

Because you require the driver files to let it be used as a mass storage, it's been mentioned before, I would suggest not using a company laptop that has it's user privileges restricted. A little searching and reading will come a long way

You need to enable MTP mode on the tablet for it to detect the tablet.
Settings-Storage-Top right corner will be 3 dots, Tap it and enable MTP mode.

I just PM'd you but found my way back here...
In settings under storage I can only view what is using what and how much of what is being used. No other options are available from there.
Edit: missed the second question again... yes just got it the 29th I think, it is only $0.99 in the market right now 50% off. Seems to work great with only a couple settings programming errors like setting for starting in favorites starts me in latest but setting to start in PMs starts me in favorites (subscribed threads), I used XDA Premium but got a refund when 90% of links I tried failed and other things. Went to using tapatalk full version I got free from getjar, but it expired one morning and when searching why I found hd. Was happy to send .99 to xda. so far no problems with links or anything else. I did have to get used to the layout being different again, but it was worth it. Kinda ICS like I think in where to find things. Also free upgrade when ICS its officially released. can't beat that for.99 oh yeah a few other things if like, such as page numbers and easier access to post smiles, but still cool.
Sorry of topic....
Get back to installing drivers in your toaste.....uh PC.

Not that I'm knowledgeable about myself. I only own a wireless only tab and don't really know for sure what carrier lock means for certain. I would think that it means the company that provides the phone access to your tab, such as verizon, sprint, at&t, or whoever else it could be has locked your device. If you know who the carrier is someone might know how to unlock it, but sometimes they just cannot be unlocked at all. At least from the little I've read, thats my thinking.

But I don't understand how can they lock the download mode to not flash (import) anything into tab.
Sorry but they can. Even if you don't understand.

it's a god answer. Thank you..
Sorry for the short one liners Mod's don't like when the talk deviates and thread "ends up being a longer than it should be"
However that doesn't apply in the bedroom, If you know what I mean
ANYWAYS! yeh carrier locked tablets are those done by major telecom companies to avoid any other carrier being used on the tablet. Like a Verizon's tablet will only accept Verizon's SIM's (Sorry I'm not from UK/US to know that). Most lock it so that if ever you do break their wonderful "terms and conditions" and they revoke the tablet (<a year) from you, it's to ensure that it doesn't void the warranty of the tablet. Since rooting voids it.
Noob here,
I've looked and looked and haven't seen anything definitive. I have a Samsung GS II (I-777). Someone had rooted my phone for me a while back but now I want to un-root it. I only have access to Mac and have NO idea how to. Everything on here seems to be written in a different language lol. What's the easiest and most simplest way to do this? Sorry if this is repetitive. Thanks in advance!
Rooting is such an easy proccess. Looking at you, I would not recommend it doing by yourself. Rooting will not get you on any legal issue other than warranty cancelation. If you still insist look at the stickied threads in this forum. I myself would like to explain it, but I can't explain it better.

Not sure if a virtual machine of Windows would work but I would give that a try if your hell bent on un-rooting.
My question is why do you want to reverse a good thing?

What I meant was that rooting is easy to do. And nothing negatives comes out of it unless you want to get the phone back to store... Since it's a mac and he doesn't have much knowledge of rooting, just let it be.

Well, "looking at you" made me go Whaaaat??? myself. Odd snap judgement from reading one post, which was pretty well phrased from what I saw.
Check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1434020 which should help - and this thread says it should work with MacOS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432. You'll need to do some more searching and learning (start with the sticky at the top of the general forum). If you don't feel confident doing this, then don't. You really aren't going to gain anything by it unless you have a specific need. Or expand on what you're looking for and maybe we can help.
BTW if you don't use it, the difference between root and unrooted is zero AFAIK. Root just lets you do more, but it's still stock i777 if that's all "someone" did.
Well, the thing is, the root that this person did (not me lol) has disabled my wifi. It's the ZedomaxStockKernel. I did some research on this and it seems that using this method renders the wifi useless. I clearly don't know what I'm doing but will read more in regards to this. Again, I've had the phone rooted for about a month now and I haven't done anything different. (Maybe because I don't know how) I wouldn't mind leaving it rooted but if I could fix the wifi issue, that would be great and then maybe I can learn further about this whole root thing. Reading through the forums though, most people rooting have Windows and not Macos. Which kind of leaves me feeling alone lol

All that sounds great but again, you guys are talking to the noobs of noobs. If only I knew how! lol is there a step by step that I could follow?
And Odin is available for Mac?
Just googled it lol and okay, I'm downloading Odin from the App store now but how do I flash the new kernel on to it?

Go into the siyah thread (you can do it on your phone). Download the ATT tar file. Open up mobile odin, select kernel. It will open a window to find your kernel. If you download from the xda app it will be in tapatalk_downloads I think. Select siyah_2.1.13 (or whatever it is). Go down to the bottom where it says flash firmware, hit it. If done correctly, the phone will reboot and everything will be awesome
I'll keep an eye on this thread tonight in case you have further questions.
Forgot to mention, the siyah thread is here in the i777 forum, more specifically look in the development section. The download link is in the first post.

Okay I understood almost everything you wrote! Let me start by saying thank you! Couple of questions so I don't screw something up!
1. Should I download the .tar file directly to my phone? Would that be easiest?
2. I can't seem to find the thread in the development section, care to spoon feed me?
Lastly, when I googled Siyah it gave my a website but I don't know if that's reliable or not.
Thanks!!
Found it!! Will try today and update!
Did everything exactly to the T. Worked but wifi is still not accessible. It scans for wifi but before anything happens, wifi turns off and then nothing. Any other thoughts on this? This is tough...

Do a factory reset in cwm recovery. You will lose your installed apps and home screen setup, so if you are partial to them, make a backup first.

Not to sound mean... But if you are asking about basic stuff, you might want to:
- Read some threads before you start flashing
- use the search function
- follow the thread instructions following the above two suggestions.
Try to troubleshoot yourself first... All your issues are solvable by searching.

Couldn't find any queries, and so what if it's basic. Everyone has to start somewhere and at some point of time you were in the same position as me; not knowing what to do. So in conclusion don't spark negative comments when I am hundred percent sure you had be in the same spot as me at one point

I agree with this POV.
If someone is having trouble simply installing/updating CWM, they absolutely need to do more reading, or chances are they will badly mess up their phone.
Using ODIN and installing CWM are rooting 101, and I would advise any SGS3 user to make sure they know these 2 bits of software inside and out, before jumping into CM9/CM10, as both are not fully stable, and will require additional knowledge to get them working correctly, if it is yet possible given the current build states of each.
If CWM installs, or ODIN flashes are not pieces of cake for you, you should probably pick a different ROM until they are.
Yes we all started somewhere, but a big tip from experienced users to noobs, is to learn how to swim, before jumping in the deep end. And CM9/CM10 is definitely the "deep end" of the Android pool, at least until the builds reach RC status, if not at least beta, as things wont work, or are yet to come upstream.
It takes as much time to flame as it does to post helpful advice. How do you want to be remembered?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Telling some one that cant swim, how to jump into the deep end, is not my idea of "helpful" advice.
Sometimes the "helpful" advice is.. "you are not ready yet"
It may not be what the person wanting to jump into the deep end wants to hear, but it may save their phone, until they know what they need to, to get where they want to be.

Thanks man...:good:
I know the sense of panic you have when you trash your phone, here's hoping some users understand that by searching first, almost 98% of the answers are out there.
That being said, I am willing to help out, given what I know, but I am willing to bet there are posts already done that lay it out there, step by step, on how to recover from this...???
Again, to anyone seeing this, not trying to be a **** here, but the search function really has tremendous value when looking, don't just try one term, use several variants of terms when searching. I bet you'll find something, heck..you may find out something off your first search topic that'll get you there better or quicker.
OP ...have you looked at this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1736476
Well I'm yet to find a detailed guide, I haven't been able to find one - I'm not going to do something based off a bad or poorly written guide, I am not going to risk breaking my new galaxy s3.

I take it you have the SGS3 for AT&T, correct?
What exactly do you need a guide for, upgrading CWM?
I take you are rooted, what version of CWM do you have, and what version are you trying to upgrade to?
What version & build of CM are you trying to install, the file name should give the specifics?
Does the ODIN count matter to you?
okay download CWM for your phone from :http://clockworkmod.com/rommanager
Rename it to recovery.img , and copy the file to your phone's internal /sdcard
Grab android terminal emulator from the play store and run the same commands starting with su in the box below.
just type: su
then
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
