[Q] MAC address unavailable - General Questions and Answers

G'Day all
Apologies if this has been covered but I have been unable to resolve thus far
I bought a Desire (A8183) second hand and after wiping leedroid 2.4.1 and installing HTC 2.2 Froyo for Telstra the MAC address is listed as unavailable. No Wifi, bluetooth or GPS.
Is there a way to edit the MAC address or has it been wiped from the chip and killed the wifi permanently.
Any help would be appreciated - I have already tried re-rooting the phone, installing a variety of ROMS and using Android Terminal Emulator to edit but have been unable to sort it.
Thanks

Hi
Did you find a solution for this?
I'm having the same problem! Since moving from a rooted stock (with minor tweaks) sense 2.2. rom to CM7, wifi only turns on (or appears to) for a few seconds before turning off (doesn't even scan) and shows "mac address unavailable".
I've tried reflashing everything (radio, recovery, rom) and no luck. I've read some people have resolved it by a simple reboot but that doesnt work!
Any help would be much appreciated!
Radio: 5.17.05.23
Recovery: ClockworkMod 3.2.0.1
S-off
ROM: CM 7.1.0 RC1 (and i've tried the latest nightly builds too).

Pola 100 stuck in obtaining IP adres

I installed Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo RLS12 All Lang Themed on my POLA100
When connecting to my wifi is says: Obtaining IP adres from wifi, then it stops and then my connection is disabled.
Am I the only one with this problem?
same here, you are not alone
can anyone help us pls?
Same here no IP assigned...no wifi
two simple question:
how do you "install" it?
which radio version do you have?
Same thing happened to me using radio 1.59.44.02 so I flashed radio 1.65.38.14 and voila. GPS works fine as well.

I've got the same problem on my Pola200 (XDA Orbit 2), radio 1.59.42.15d3 (original from O2) with the Froyo installations:
- Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo RLS12 All Lang Themed
- VaniljFroyo RLS2
I installed them from SD card with haret.
I also tried VaniljEclair RLS8b: with Eclair it works. But I prefer Froyo because of better performance and design.
I have RLS12 with radio 1.65.38.14 installed on NAND and I am having this problem. (I have also tried one of the 1.59 series radios and it did the same)
I had RLS11 running on SD and wifi was working.
Try to reflash system on nand, sometimes doesn't work correctly and after update radio i suggest to reinstall system.
1.) Reflashed polaimg-panel3-320-froyo-26-07-10.nbh
2.) Reinstalled Incubus26jc's Super Froyo (RLS12)
3.) Tried wifi again... still broken
4.) Restarted then did a reinstall and wipe of data...
5.) Wifi now works!
Thanks!!
Hi!
I have the same problem. I flashed my Pola 100 with the
Polaimg-panel3-320-froyo-26-07-10.nbh and Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo 2.2 RLS12
It's just saying "obtaining IP address".
Then I thought "a radio update couldn't be bad...". So I updated it to Polaris_Radio_1.64.08.21. It still didn't work. Then I read l1qu1d's post:
"Try to reflash system on nand, sometimes doesn't work correctly and after update radio i suggest to reinstall system."
...and reflashed my Pola 100. It still didn't work, so I looked for the newest radio update and updated my phone to Polaris_1.65.38.14.
You'll know the result: Still "obtaining".
I just have no idea anymore. Please help me!
EDIT (2. August): Now I tried Polaris_Radio_1.65.30.09 - still not working - and assigning a static IP to my Pola100 - also not working.
P.S.: Just a question. What's the matter with the PIN code? I know, that I have to deactivate it. But why doesn't it work with our android flashed phones?
@skaterbub2003 reinstall the system. PIN doesn't work because none wrote the kernel part to make it works, there are other priorities.
Well, so let's try it again.
Oh, and thank you for answering my PIN-question. Didn't mean to criticise the work of the coders. I just was curious.
Hi.
My pola100 is stuck on obtaining ip address too.
First, I've installed android on nand, wireless didn't work, so i flashed new radio and wireless still not working.
Finaly i reinstalled android on nand again and stil not working
My rom is Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo RLS12
My radio is Polaris_1.65.38.14
Can anyone help??
(sorry for my english)
As suggested from l1qu1d, I reinstalled the system again (twice). Both times, the problem with "obtaining the IP-Address" remained.
Well, has somebody an idea?
ROM: Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo RLS12 (26/7/2010)
RADIO: Polaris_1.65.38.14
I have the same problem.
RLS11 on NAND: work fine.
RLS12 on NAND: don't work.
any solution?
Ok, i fix that.
The solutions is don't use "install-seq.sh"

Hehe, no problem, and sorry for my bad english, I'm spanish
I think the problem is in permission, i fix it when i came back to italy.
Hi Guys,
my first post here and hopefully not the last
Got the same problem on my pola200, using the super froyo rls12 with 1.59.46.12 radio.
the other radios i tested didnt let me phone, and i think a phone should be supposed to phone primaly ;-)
Im using the haret boot variant as long it doesnt work right.
As i read u solved the problem, but i dont get a clue out of your hints. What should i use instead of install-seq.sh? Cause if i remove it and try to install the system it just hangs resulting in a scary kernel panic...
Update: Ok, got it now. The phone did boot up so fast that i did had no chance to start the installer, i need to hold the required buttons before the message to push the buttons appears
lets see if it works now
Update 2:Yes, it works! As you thought l1q1d, the problem lies down somewhere in the permissions. Using the "Fix Permission" tool from the Android setup tool did fix the Problem.

htc wildifre with cyanogenmod 7.1.0.1-buzz - wifi non functional

hi there! i am new to this forum as registered member, but i've been often here in the previous months.
now i have a problem.
i have made an s-off and installed cyanogenmod a couple of months ago. the version was definetly 7 but i can't remember which one. back then i had problems with wifi and gps, none worked, but i googled it, and found that flashing the radio via clockworkmod helps. i used one of those standard versions of radio found on cynogenmod webpage. the versions 3.35.15.31, 3.35.19.25 and 3.35.20.10
and that solution not only made wifi and gps work again, but it made gps work better, it took total of 2 minutes to find satellites and get a good fix.
but two days ago i updated my cyanogenmod to 7.1.0.1-buzz and the problem appeared again. so, ok, i'll flash the radio again.
the first problem was the clockworkmot, since i upgraded it to ver 3, but i managed to downgrade it via rom manager and install the radio drivers (not sure if "driver" is a good term for it). but it helped only partially.
so i tried all three possible radio drivers, but all i managed is to make the gps work. it works fine, but when i try to connect to a network it gets stuck at "obtaining ip address", then it says "disabled" and tries to connect once again. and that goes in circle constantly!
i tried to google it, and search in this forum and several others, but i cant find the solution. always before i install the radio drivers i wipe the dalvik cache, but that doesn't help either. i tried it via rom manager, by rebooting into clockworkmod, i even tried to reset the phone, then wiping dalvik and then flashing radio, but that doesn't help either... does anybody have any idea how to fix my broken wifi? any help would be appreciated! thanks in advance!
p.s. should you need any info regarding my phone, just ask!
still nothing? guys... please... help!

[Resolved] [Q] HTC CM7 Radio

Hello everyone, I'm new to xda but not new to rooting and stuff
However I need help
I rooted my Wildfire a while ago..and then i installed some font...which messed my stock rom
receving no technical support over email or service centre, i manually flashed cm7
...
all goinig well but there is no 3g connection at all...the phone keeps on rebooting when i turn on 3g....and 2g is incredibly slow!!!!!!!!!!
I hvnt s off 'ed my wf but hv rooted it successfully..I'd like to know if s off is needed for radio flash...pl help me
How should I s-off my rooted wf??
Hello, i solved this issue.. I was on the radio 3.35.20.10 which is the newest. I flashed the latest rc1 cm7.2. Yes (3g and H) mobile network works flawlessly.. changing a few type of internet build prop values of cm7.2 will lead to rebooting when turning on mobile data
I won't be of any help but I have the same problem: I can't remember when I have noticed it the first time - my Wildfire keeps on rebooting if I switch to 3G.
Initially I thought that one of the different modes (2g/3g only, 2g or 3g etc.) would cause the problem but I have tried everything without any success.
If I find the time I'll probably try a newer nightly to see if this will help.
AFAIK I'm on the newest radio (flashed it a while back due to the well known radio problem).
Anyone with a helpful hint?

Hm, I'm not sure about your solution - could you be a bit more specific? I've already done a lot of things to get rid of the problem - including flashing newer versions of CM7 - currently I'm on the 20120420 nightly. Release date for the newest RC1 is 20120314 if I'm correct - so it looks that this didn't solve my problem.
Furthermore I flashed the radio again (inspired by this thread) - without any help regarding the bootloops. I'm really close to do an RUU update - but I usually rely on good old traditional computer wisdom: "never change a running system" XD
If someone with a bit more understanding of the changes in build.prop could give hints what (which values) exactly could be the reason for the problem this would be really helpful.

[Q] HTC Sensation XE wifi problem!

Hey guys, I've flashed the UltiMIUIcs http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1550689 after flashing, I can't seem to turn on the wi-fi. I've flashed other ROMs too, wiped the cache, factory reset...so I can't seem to find a solution. Can anyone help me?
First of all, check if the mac adress on wifi works. Secondly, i had the same issue on my HTC HD2 and therefor i used a small programm called 'Task 29'. It erases all your phone memory and after that i began to flash a new rom. And than Wifi worked again! I don't know if Task 29 is available on your phone. Otherwise, if i were you i'd flashed the rom again or otherwise try to flash a different kernel (maybe it is kernel related, i suggest to search in the thread if others users have the same problem)
Greetings,
Arjan

[Q] Cannot connect to wifi

Apologies if this has already been asked or solved, but I checked the Q&A threads and also the sensation development thread for a solution but couldn't find one...
I flashed OrDroid's 5.0.1 ICS Sense 4.0 ROM this morning, will full wipe selected. Now I cannot connect to the internet through my wifi, and I cannot connect to 3g either. I rebooted into recovery, did a complete format of the system from recovery and reflashed, again selecting full wipe and re-installed the ROM. Again, no internet. Keeps coming up with a message that the server has timed out. The Wifi is fine to use on my laptop.
I then rebooted again, full wipe, installed coindroid 1.5.2 ROM and reflashed Brick Kernel. Still no solution
Anyone able to help me out please?
Hi,
did you check your radio rom ? If you come from a non sense rom you need to flash a couple, radio and ril.
Ju.
Well I was coming from one custom Sense ROM to another. It had always worked fine until the latest OrDroid update. I recently when back to S-on and flashed an official RUU but that didn't fix the problem either.
I noticed a thread regarding the RIL/Radio files but I'm not sure which one I need to choose...I'm o2 UK if that helps?
