How to change MAC address on V970 (MTK6577)? - ZTE Grand X V970

Hello,
I have two ZTE V970 phones and I copied the contents of one to the other (by backing to nandroid on one, copying the backup to the other and restoring there).
All i sine except that it copied also the IMEI numbers and the MAC address.
I succeeded to chage back the IMEI but the MAC stumps me.
I tried all the methods I found on the net but to no avail.
Is there someone who changed the MAC on a V970 or similar?
Thankfully yours,

You have also restored userdata, haven't you? That's most likely the problem. Using a root explorer just go to /data and delete nvram folder. Let it be created from scratch.

hey dev.. please help me.. i have a micromax a110.. mtk6577 device.. unable to change mac using ifconfig, ip link etc.. please help...

Ya please pllzzzz plzzzz help to do it(((

Hi Bruno, I love your work, specially with V970M phones. Great job by the way.
I have a big problem with one of my phone, broken screen etc., I manage to repair it, format the NVRAM and installed your v1.2. But then I have a similar problem, IMEI's all gone, Wifi with NVRAM ERROR 0x10 and Bluetooth NOK also (these last two keep change everytime I turn them on), since I have 2 phones, I read a bit about this and tried to change de MAC's for the Wifi and BT. Restored the IMEI with Engineer Mode, I then copy the \Data\nvram\APCFG\APRDEB\ folder content, it worked but there's two problems:
1st Both MAC for WIFI and BT are the same as the other device... not good.
2nd Everytime I make a full system reset, it losts all the data EMEI's and MAC's... and I need to input everything again.
I red somewhere, that we can edit the BT_Addr and WIFI (files with APRDEB) with HxD Hex Editor, search for the MAC's and change it, replace the files, but after reboot, the Mac's continue to change everytime I connect the WF & BT (and the error 0x10 appears again).
My question is, there's anyway that I can change the MAC's in MTK Enginner Mode, or use some tools that really work (tried a couple like MAC_Spoof and others but they cannot read the MAC's) and if there's anyway (after all been corrected IMEI & MAC's) to make it "permanent" and everytime I make a full reset or install a new ROM, don't loose all these data?
Thank one more.
Best regards everyone.

I had the problem with my MMX A177
I was not able to change MAC add in terminal emulator and MAC spoofer
But guys try MTK engineering mode its working for MMX devices.
I was doing this to hack WhatsApp but it verify the device and u register previous device.
Is there any new trick to hack WhatsApp?

[Q] Micromax A110(Canvas 2) WiFi NVRAM WARNING: ERR 0x10

Hi
Here we go this is my first post in XDA..
I Was reading some other phone thread in this forum about WiFi NVRAM WARNING: ERR 0x10 and a, glad that i found a solution for it..
As I fixed the Invalid IMEI issue,now am facing the wifi issue,where in whenever i turn on wifi i get an open network which states NVRAM WARNING: ERR 0x10..
So to fix this issue i need the nvram folder of Mobistel Cynus T2 JB V2.Can someone upload the nvram folder located in /data so that i can replace the whole folder which will fix the wifi warning and then i can restore the IMEI's again using MTK Tools IMEI backup which is on my SD card..
P.S its difficult to find the wifi file in nvram folder which is causing an error thats the reason i want to replace the whole nvram folder and rewrite the IMEI's.
Hit Thanks if it was helpful..
How did you solve it?
Hi, How did you solve this error....? I have the same phone with Cynus T2 ROM and has been facing NVRAM WARNING: ERR = 0x10 since long.

Hi Anil,
First of all, to develop your own technical understanding, refer to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1960080
Now a solution for your problem.
1. Root your phone. Because you are already on Jelly Bean, follow these steps given on http://www.droidiser.com/2013/02/root-jelly-bean-updated-Micromax-a110.html
2. Install 'Total Commander' from Play Store after having rooted your OS successfully.
3. Download and copy the files on your SD card. These are the files which I have placed (attached) on this thread. Do not forget to unzip/unrar it and then copy to your SD card.
3. Turn off your WiFi (If enabled).
5. Go to system\data\nvram\APCFG\APRDEB by launching 'Total Commander' application.
6. Paste both the files i.e. 'WIFI' and 'WIFI_CUSTOM' from SD card to here in this folder. It will replace your existing files...but let it be.
7. Reboot your phone and check.
P.S. : You need to take a backup of your phone's IMEI as it is unique in nature for each device.
Let me know if you find any difficulties in this.

Hi Rajen
Thanks a million
I followed ur steps it fixed the issue WiFi NVRAM WARNING: ERR 0x10 ,but the wfi range is not that great in jelly bean any solution
a have a few more questions
1) can you tell me how do i unroot the phone so that i have the phone warranty
2) can you tell me how to back the nvram since my phoen is in root
once again thank you very much for helping me out

Hi Anil, It feels good to obituary you have solved the NVRAM WARNING problem. Note followings.
-> WiFi range and It's refresh rate totally depends on particular ROM. These files (which I attached have no role to play in it)
-> Simply flash stock ROM V2 or V3 through SP flash tool and your phone will be unroot.
-> To backup, try backup option from stock recovery by pressing power+volume up+volume down buttons (all three at one time) together to enter in to recovery. Best way to do this is to first switch Off your phone and then follow it.

Yes, you are right but it doesn't put you in a problem (particularly in getting connected) if the devices with same mac address are not on same network...i.e. same IP range or same DHCP.
Meanwhile I am working out on the steps to solve it.
brother. after every factory reset imei and wifi having issue again? can we solve that? also in jellybean rom the earpiece volume is too low to hear in bus or train on busy day.

[GUIDE][TO SOLVE] MTK No IMEI, No Baseband, No Backup?

Guide - To Solve MTK Devices ~ Soft Bricked from No IMEI, No Baseband, No RIL, No WiFi MAC, BT MAC, comms etc. ​
Note:
This is a "clone thread" from my original thread. I post another guide at here to help those who are in difficulty finding the correct guide to solve this problem. This method probably works on all Mediatek devices. For reference, my Lenovo P780 uses a MTK 6589 chipset.
DISCLAIMER:
*What you done to your phone is at your OWN RISK, you choose to do this modifications to your phone and don't blame me if anything goes wrong.
Preface:
Recently I have noticed many people who tried to flash Custom ROM's on MediaTek devices and causes the phone to lose IMEI, Baseband, RIL, WiFi MAC, BT MAC, SN, comms etc. and causes connectivity issues (including me), which renders our MediaTek devices turned into a "AndroidPod" media device that cannot make calls, SMS etc. As an example, my Lenovo P780 which faced the exactly same problem.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
See the IMEI and baseband are still there in factory mode!!!
What could cause this is problem to occur is probably during ROM flashing process, the installer probably wiped out the /data/nvram (folder/partition). The /data/nvram (folder/partition) is the heart of your phone of all communicating feature, if the (folder/partition) is corrupted, just like I said, no communication features.
*Actually the baseband is there, but because the /nvram (folder/partition) has corrupted, the Android OS were unable to recognize it thus showing Unknown.
So no backup = Phone dead? Nothing but a media player?
First step, ensure your phone:
On Stock ROM
Rooted
PC have ADB drivers installed (If you don't have it please ask Uncle Google :good
Well, that isn't true, recently I found out, the phone can actually be easily recovered (on most MediaTek devices) and gain at least those comm features back by simply delete the whole /nvram (folder/partiton). If your phone coldn't recognize SIM card, wait a while after deleted the folder, your phone should have signal after maximum 10 seconds of waiting.
*In most of the cases MobileUncleTools give AT command failed to send probably the /nvram folder is corrupted, simply delete the NVRAM folder and reboot will do.
For WiFi MAC address fix (WiFi NVRAM WARNING: ERR 0x10), because the solution already been posted, so please click here.
Bluetooth MAC address fix: Firstly, using any File Explorer with Root abilities navigate to /data/nvram/APCFG/APRDEB/BT_Addr and also a BT_Addr file under /data, then copy both files to your PC. Then open up the file by using Hex Editor (HHD Hex Editor). To fix a static MAC address, just simply type in your MAC address on the first row (0000) from column (00-05). That is what your MAC address should be (Edit both files with the same MAC address). After you have modified it, put it back in the exact location and remember to change permission.
Actually you can also get restore your IMEI, WiFi MAC, BT MAC, SN by restoring a backup created by MTKDroidTools with other exact same model as your phone.
Hi,
I have a Pomp W99 (MTK6589T) and it seems this model (or it's software) has the problem, that Wifi and Bluetooth MAC address changes on every activation.
While I was able to fix the changing MAC address with the procedere as described I still have the problem of the changing Bluetooth MAC, which is very annoying.
Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks & Ciao, Alfred

Thanks for this but sadly, this doesn't work, I've already tried it.
I have a BT_Addr in /data/nvram/APCFG/APRDEB but the mac address there is not used.
I also have a BT_Addr in /data and it seems, this one gets updated with the current MAC.
I tried removing the file rights so that the file could not be altered, but now I have a static address in the file that is different from the one shown in the telephone status.
I'm still getting on every enabling of bluetooth a new address, always like xx:xx:46:66:xx:xx (the two bytes in the middle ar always the same).
My only solution at the moment is not to disable Bluetooth and not to reboot my phone, because else I have to re-pair all bluetooth devices.
I would even be lucky with a solution that would change the bluetooth MAC to static one by script after enabling Bluettoth but I couldn't find anything about this, all I could find was about changing wifi MAC address.
Maybe you have another idea?
Thanks & Ciao, Alfred

Been there, done this.
Both files have the same address and permissions are set so that they cannot be altered.
Still the OS keeps creating random addresses, so it doesn't seem the files are read by the system but only get written.

Well that's weird, technically it should be static already. Never mind, I will keep searching for other solution. Sorry for that you can't get it to work.
Or perhaps, do you have any friends / relatives of yours using the same phone? You can try MTKDroidTools to make a NVRAM backup of their phone and restore the settings to your phone. That should fix it.
I get something like that after a STAR N9002 Update, but with something else...
My touch doesn't mach the screen, the screen is normal but the touch point's are out of place... do you understand? like the touch have a resolution diferent from the screen resolution...
Do you think this is caused from a software problem, NVRAM is missing and happen all in the same reboot AFTER the update...
I'm trying to get a backup copy of NVRAM, but I don't know if the touch will be ok after that...
Thanks.

I know, I have encountered the problem before on a cheap China tablet. That isn't caused by /nvram corrupt/missing but the touch driver you have are not compatible with your touch hardware. I'd suggest you restore from a backup.
Thank's for your answer. I've already get a NVRAM backup to set me up. That's ok, but the touch is still messed. I don't have a backup... I don't know how I will get it...

Do you have any friend's or anyone you know using the exact same phone? My idea is: Find an 100% identical phone (probably from dealer is the best bet). Backup the entire phone using MTKDroidTools, and then restore the backup to your phone. After that just restore back your original /nvram partition (you wouldn't want the same IMEI and related info isn't it?)
Therotically your phone should work/recover.
Yes, I'm waiting for a promised integral backup. That's my final hope now...

Okay... Good luck bro. Next time if you hands-on with any MTK devices. Be sure backup it first using MTKDroidTools. It's a very useful and powerful backup software.
No luck for me.
Even a full backup did not make the touch work well.
I think a backup is a good way to prevent flash problems, but what I have was far worst than that. Some how, the flash procedure burn the touch driver chip, and there's no way to make them work again...
I'll have to replace it... that's a shame...
Thanks for your support.

ZTE nubia z5s mini wifi issue, need /persist files to fix

I have a fully functional zte nubia z5s mini ( except from wifi and bt) rooted, english CWM, latest MIUI. Formatting /persist partition before installing MIUI caused the issue, there is a relevant thread explaining it all at bbs.nubia.cn/thread-112804-1-1.html (understood it using google translate).
To fix it I just need some files that were in that partition (nothing special, can be viewed with any root explorer) and get them back. Re-flashing any ROM wont do the job because that's the essence of the specific partition, to contain some files that wont be replaced by flashing a rom from recovery as I discovered by similar threads at xda for other phones.
The thing is that I cant download the files from nubia forum because to get the link I must register and registration does not work for me without any apparent reason.
Could someone make a copy of its own files ? There is nothing personal in there or phone specific / unique .. Net / BT drivers, and configuration files
As I said, nothing special needed, just copy all files / folders from /persist and make a zip .. I guess a backup from CWM would work also, never tired it (never needed to restore anything till now)
The issue is very annoying because apart from WiFi problem the phone is fully functional .. I know whats the problem, the files I need and the procedure (a simple copy) but after 3-4 days of searching have not been able to find the files ..
Could somebody please help by sending me its own files from /persist ?
Thanks in advance ..

Wi-fi Mac addres Permantly change

In my need of spoofing my mac adddres with legal actionsi came across with my mac addres change whether custom or stock roms is installed so i tried the following and it works, maybe only for me but you never know.
my address is 00:1A:73:XX:XX:XX in stock roms, in custom roms or stock rom with custom kernel the mac change into 84:38:38:XX:XX:XX, i thought that was a flashing bug, but turns out to be that custom kernels read the mac addres different from stock kernels, stock kernels read the mac from these two files using root explorer /efs/wifi/.mac.info and efs/wifi/.mac.info.bak the mac addres is storage in there and editig those files with root explorer to the same mac writen correctly, rember both and delete efs/wifi/.mac.info.bak.bak if created, rebooted and wi fi cant be activated, power of to download mode and flash a STOCK rom with odin the mac address changed permantly unless an efs backup is restored or flashing a custom kernel.
for temporaly mac spoofing try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wireless.macchanger hard change option.
try this at your own risk if needed, and always, always make an efs backup first i recomend efs back up pro in xda forums is a windows tool, this is high risk procedure and can mess your wifi,
Sorry for my english and good luck
If i am mistaken and/or the threat is missplaced please correct it and inform to moderator to change the location, thanks in advance.

Hello xda friends.... im new here and i need a help from u guys. Please help mee..
i just bricked my micromax magnus a117. What i did--- rooted my phone then installed an app meteos6589 (something like that) to increase app storage. Then i restarded my phone(with usb debugging off(if it afffects anything )). And after that it is showing micromax logo only.
so anyway i downloaded stock rom v4 from mounlisky. and tried to flash with sp tools. But but but problem is arising something like "pmt didnt mathched...................." . So sp tools is saying to select and do format+download option. But i have nothing in backup only microsd and internal sd data.
So the point is i dont have backup of nvram or anything else, phone is bricked at micromx logo, usb debugging off. So how do i get my phone back to life.
anyone please....
Any detailed help is appreciated.. thank you..
so i did it. i flashed it with stock rom. and as i was afraid of it, imei erased. but i got imei back by using mtkdroid tool(got imei numbers under mobile battery) but serial number,bluetooth address lost and in wifi showing avirtual wifi named nvram warning:err= 0*10. how to get them back?

This is a trap that I have fallen into also in the early days of my MTK experience. The way MTKDT backs up data is NOT sufficient to restore a phone or tablet back.
(Sorry, I will rant for a few)
MTKDT backs up the /data/nvram files. I almost wish MTKDT didn't exist because people think they have a copy of everything they need, but it is not everything they need as you've found. (it may have improved since my knowledge is old) The proper thing to do is backup the "NVRAM" block with SP Flash Tool. You would determine where it was by looking at the scatter file. A better safeguard is to backup the whole ROM with SPFT, then you don't even have to worry about offsets, because your offset is 0x0.
Sidenote:
When you wipe the /data partition, the /data/nvram that you've restored using MTKDT will be wiped also. So you will have to restore it again.
I think where you are at now, your only option is to inspect the NVRAM block by dumping it to your computer. You will probably also need to inspect someone else's NVRAM block that has the exact model you have. From there you can look at it with a hex editor and try to figure out how to put your information back. I have to admit, I've only had limit success in doing this. I've found for example where the Wifi MAC should go, but it repeats at different locations within the block and I think I was never successful. To check to see if your hexediting is correct, you wipe /data. On first boot MediaTek's linux/android creates the /data/nvram/* files from what it finds in your NVRAM block.
I'm sorry I'm not more help.

I don't use MTKDT at all. I do see some uses for it though. SPFT is a pain, but I wish every device (SoC maker) had an SPFT so you could read or write any chunk of flash.
If you look at a scatter file you will see lots of blocks/partitions that the flash is divided into. Each of these has a purpose of course, but the one marked NVRAM (a horrible confusing name) is the most important to get backed up, it has unique "calibration data" for your specific unit. You may find a "nvram.bin" that MTKDT created... this may be exactly what SPFT would backup too... if you are lucky.
So if MTKDT made a nvram.bin that is about 100x better than having a nvram.tgz or however he archives the /data/nvram files.
