[Q] MAC address unavailable

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).

Hi,
I also have some problem with the wifi with a custom rom, it works ok as a client, but not as an ap, so i can't use it with my laptop :-(
I see some roms have bugs, i guess you are also such person with probs :-(
But anyway, i like the custom roms, its a improvement so far!
Good luck!

[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] 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?

[Q] Wifi problems on Grimlock v2.2 ROM

Hi guys,
I'm pretty noob around here so if I ask you silly questions please don't bother.
The problem is, I fed up with my stock Asus firmware on my TF300TG and decided to install a custom rom.
Unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP 2.5.0.0 for custom recovery. Then i did research on xda and find out Grimlock V2.2 is suiting my daily usage.
I did factory reset, wipe dalvik cahce and installed Grimlock and everything went OK. But after I boot into Grimlock 3G worked but I can't open wi-fi.
I thought sometimes just rebooting fixes most of things, then I reboot my tablet. This time i can see wi-fi is connecting but it doesn't connect at all. You can't visit any website or download apps from Google Play. 3G works smooth though.
Than i tried to install with TF300 kernel, this time as expected 3G has gone but wi-fi works perfect.
So which kernel should I use or what should I do to use 3G and wi-fi at the same time.
Thank you!

I wonder if it was just a bad install. I haven't heard of anybody else having problems with the wifi with the TG kernel. I'd recommend to try and do a fresh install again, doing all wipes, and making sure to choose the kernel for the TF300TG.

Sorry to reply late, I was on a business trip and didn't have enough time to try this.
Anyway I tried it about 10min ago but wi-fi problem still exists.
Did all the wipes I can.

Are you able to take a logcat and send it to me? Most TG users are running this rom without issue.

I installed Grimlock 2.2 rom on my TF300TG. Before this, I had latest Asus firmware installed on, bootloader unlocked and rooted.
With this new firmware, when I poweron it, if I try to connect it using either 3g or wifi activating them, it can't connect (on wifi it founds my wifi network but can't obtain IP address).
If I activate 3g (or wifi) and reboot, then it connect successfully.

I would suggest 2 options:
1) Install CROMI instead of GRIMLOCK - NEWEST CROMI
2) Run the kernel installer by sbdags on the second post of the thread: KERNEL INSTALLER POST - Installing a TF300TG kernel in here should fix the wifi issues in GRIMLOCK. These kernels are all compatible with GRIMLOCK as well.

Hey hardslog. Thank you for your reply.
Before your reply I have flashed CROMI and testing it now. So far, so good But I think I will give GRIMLOCK another shoot using your advice

Can anyone tell me if I could run a stock Kernel on the 6.0.1 version of Katkiss? And if so, how do I load a kernel? I'm having wifi issues that were not there when I was on a stock rom.
