Hi,
Please help me to solve the issue on the android ICS Wifi Mac address , here are the problems
1) NVRAM warning Err 0x10
2) Wifi always disconnect after able to obtain IP and browse internet a few seconds
3) Noticed that the MAC address last 6 digits are always changing, like 00:08:22:XX:XX:XX after I enable/disable the wifi
4) IPLINK SHOW ETH0 -- error: Can't find device 'eth0' , but WLAN0 is present
5) NetCfg command shows only Lo, wlan0, tunl0,sit0,ip6tnl0,ccmni0,ccmni1,ccmni2. but the Eth0 is not present?
Those problems originally found at the original rom. I have downloaded another similar rom but still not okay.
I downloaded the MIUI rom but only updates the system.img, recovery.img, boot.img. other image files were the same. The WIFI errors are still there.
Any advice?
Many thanks!

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

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
Hey guy/gals, I've got a nifty little trick here for you. Now, the trick I'm about to explain is a rather low-level trick that most of you may know, but its for those who don't or are new. So, at the school i attend, they have wifi throughout the school. They make the password something simple like "internet", and then wait for someone to figure it out and tell everyone. Once everyone start joining the network and using it, they just go through and blacklist (ban) the MAC addresses that aren't pre-approved. This was a huge mistake on their part. So here is a method that allows you to spoof your MAC (ghosting) address and regain access to the network.
Method 1: Go to the market and download 2 apps, "BusyBox" and "MAC Spoofer (changer)". Install BusyBox and run it to give it SU permissions. Then run MAC Spoofer and give it permissions. Turn on your wifi and try to connect to the desired network. If you are blacklisted, it will just loop over and over trying to connect. Don't stop it from looping. Press the home button and then open MAC Spoofer. Now, when you run MAC Spoofer there will be a black box in the center of the screen and it should say ">CHECKING FOR ROOT PERMISSION AND WIFI FILE: OK!" then on the next line it will show your original MAC address and your current one. In the entry box between the black box and the spoof button, you can enter your desired address and press "Spoof my MAC". It will then say ">ATTEMPTING TO MODIFY MAC ADDRESS:" and on the next 2 lines it will show your original and current MAC. On the last line it should say "**SUCCESS** MAC OF INTERFACE wlan0 CHANGED TO: (Whatever you chose)". Now you can exit the app and go back to your wifi network selection. Select the network you were trying to join and it should connect.
I hope this works for you all. If you have any questions or issues, just reply to this thread. Don't forget to give me a thanks!
Note: Your MAC will reset to the original MAC when you turn off your wifi or if your reboot your phone.
Note: I am running ME7 with 4.2.2 JellyBean and stock rom.

I selected "Format & Install" on SP Flash tool & my IMEI was gone and there was also there was a wifi connection issue (WiFi NVRAM WARNING: ERR 0x10 is shown in Wi-Fi network list & MAC address changed!). I solved both, but those problems reappears every time I reset my phone. Is there any permanent fix for this?
Solved
Solved it. I had to find the correct MAC Address of my mobile & write the mac address permanently by this method. After that IMEI also solved permanently! This tutorial helped greatly:

Thanks to pr001, I have found the reason that the current batch of custom ROMs do not reconnect to paired BT devices after the phone is rebooted.
It is because the folder root/data/etc/ is empty. In a good environment, their should be a file named bluetooth_btaddr (among others) there. That file is a plain text file which contains the MAC address.
After reading a post in the BlissROM thread there is also an issue where two phones both running the same ROM are causing issues with connecting to a wifi network as both devices have the same wifi MAC address. and with this experience with the BT MAC address I am left with the following questions.
Aren't the radios MAC addresses fixed to the radio hardware itself?
If not, how does stock firmware provide unique MAC addresses for the radios?
If the radio chipsets do have MAC addresses tied to them, how can the devs access them?
Hi there
I have rooted my Xperia and installed the Xposed Framework.
Then I realised that I got the nvram warning err 0x10 displayed at my wifi networks. Turned out that my wifi mac address changed after every reboot (when I disabled and enabled my wifi the mac did not change).
So I searched the internet and found some information. I edited the WIFI file in the /data/nvram directory using a hex editor and changed my mac address to one which does not start with 00:. Now the mac does not change after rebooting but I get a nvram warning err 0x02 :/
I can't find a solution for this and I find it kind of annoying.
1. Does anyone have an idea what I could try?
2. Is there any possibility to read my original mac address? I've tried some tools but they all just display 20:00:00:00:00:00.
Looking forward to get some usefull tips
I too get the same error wifi but i actually thought someone named it that way. Never had to connect tomit though.
Good luck
