I recently bought a moto g and decide to root it. went through the process of unlocking the bootloader and so on and flashed cm11.I rebooted it this morning and the Wifi mac address was completely different than that of the day before. I was using texdroider_dpi to set the screen dpi to 240 which also makes it set SELinux status to permissive. Could this be the cause of the problem? should i diable this app and set SELinux to Enforcing? I do have experience with adb and flashing and the likes but im stumped here. if this mac address is hardcoded into the hardware, would flashing back to stock fix that?
Anyway,
I've tried changing it back but i cannot, i do know the old mac address but i have no clue how to change it back on CM11. i tried editing the WNSCC_qcom_factory_nv.bin file in the persist folder(after backing up ofcourse) but it wont change. can anybody guide me through changing the wifi mac address back? i dont want to be walking around with an illegal device (i live in canada and im not so sure about this stuff here).
Also, if i have posted in the wrong place please move this there. Thank you.
@underyourbed Hi! I have the same problem, i was using Lollipop 5.1.1 and i formated everything to install kitkat again, but when i did that, my mac adress was changed, my mac is 00:05:f5:89:89 but now my phone show me this → 00:0a:f5:00:00:00.
The strange thing is that when i installed again lollipop, the phone shows me the right mac, but if i install kitkat it shows me a wrong mac.

Hello, I practically never use this forum so Sorry if I did something wrong (Like if I didn't put this in the right section) but I recently Managed to Flash my custom ROM (Carbon) on my new Moto G XT1034 4.4.4 kitkat without bricking my phone :good:, But a nasty bug occurred, I can't connect to WiFi, Data seems to work fine but Whenever I try to connect to my home WiFi, It says "Saved, Secured" but with no connection.
I'm not a complete idiot when it comes to linux, But I think I just didn't set the settings right.
Also, If everything goes right, I'll start contributing here a little more. Although I won't be much help since I am a computer programmer, And don't deal with mobile that much. (But who knows I might get into it.....)
I really would like help, I need to fix this, I tried to recover back to my stock Rom but TWRP failed to do so, so I either need to fix this error or no more Moto G :crying:
Hi,
I have an old Moto G (XT1032, no LTE, no GPE) phone, bought from Amazon. I've installed CM 11 on it but after facing insurmountable stability issues I decided to go back to stock Android 4.4.4. Now, the thing is that I had no back-ups at all. It was stupid, I know.
I had to install a stock ROM from FileFactory (XDA rules prevent me from posting the full link). I chose the one called RETAIL_XT1032_4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.61_cid9_CFC.xml.zip. Everything works fine, except mobile data. When I'm on WiFi I can access the Internet, though. I've been researching the issue and I've learned that the problem might be caused by a ROM mismatch. Unfortunately, I don't know how to check whether this is the case. I used the 'fastboot getvar all' command to get the CID. It matches that of the ROM but I don't know if I was lucky when I installed it or if the ROM rewrote that variable.
I don't think this is an APN configuration issue. I've never had to manually configure APN settings before.
Any ideas?

Hope this helps
My device is Galaxy S6 920F
WiFi networks stop showing up after a few days of Root, Rom, or Kernel. My S6 connects to the saved ones, but I have to add the new ones manually
And I experienced it with :
*Stock Rom + Adam kernel 2.3
*Stock Rom + UniKernel v8-0002 (both Odin and TWRP)
*XtreStoLite Deo-Mod 2.3
I'm on COH2
I tried to reflash the Kernels, but it didn't work. Clean dalvik/cache didn't work as well. Factory reset/Rom will solve it temporarily.
Help please

I have the same issue, not a big deal for me, but it's still a bug!
Good to know that I'm not alone. Although it's a big deal here because I've never been on the same WiFi for long.
Solved.
Its about (App Ops).
I reverted all the permissions to stock (allowed all), but I still didn't detect which permission behind the WiFi disappearance. Will be discovered soon.
I've been having the same exact problem... was having a version of it previously when i was rooted on 5.0.2 (couldn't find wifi networks, had to manually add them as if they were 'hidden')-- and now I have just flashed stock rom OH1, and rooted using UniKernel v8-0001 (both via Odin)
Now it seems that both
1. still no networks are 'available' (all appear hidden like before, and must be manually added, even if I know that there are many in the area), but also
2. all of the formerly remembered networks have been forgotten
I have a combination of security aps such as AppOpsX (AppOps 4.3/4.4), DisableService, AFWall+ (disabled) and LBE Security (I know, many)
Can't seem to find what to switch off to get things to reappear... I tried uninstalling the AppOpsX, and disabling the AFWall+, didn't work. I tried finding specific permissions to enable in the other programs too, and also failed....
Any follow up? Did you discover something more specific?
Anyone else have an idea? I thought google stored and sync'ed all my old wifi connections- but now I can't even seem to find where to re-sync them.
Thanks! (and sorry for being relative noob- happy to try to figure out logcats or whatever to provide more info)
After updated to Lineage 17.1 i am facing problems with Wifi. In Lineage 17.1 everything works fine (except wifi-calling and volte). When flashing back to Stock (via Oreo-RUU or TWRP Restore) i don't get any wifi-connection. If turning on wifi, system turns off immediately. In settings I found, that mac address is 02:00:00:00:00:00... searching this problem, i found out, that this problem happened often via update from android 5 -> 6. Flashing Stock ROMs didn't help, restore of prior LeeDroid Backup neither.
Did anybody face this problem in former times? Does anybody know where MAC is stored / what the problem may be?

I am experiencing the exact same issue. Same MAC address, same wifi issue. I tried flashing to stock Oreo, same issue. I'm going to try flashing stock Nougat, but I have doubts about that working. I also tried clean flashing the RR-P 7.0.2 ROM, and the same issue happens there too. I could not fin a way to restore the MAC address. I was able to look up the original address from my router's device log . . .
My HTC is the US T-Mobile version. @Golv can you help us with this new issue?
-UPDATE-
So far, going to stock Nougat INSTANTLY works. Right on the setup menus, all the wifi networks show up. Odd how stock Oreo gave us issues, but Nougat didn't. Will be going to RR-P 7.0.2 and seeing if the fix sticks I removed the SIM card when I put the phone back to Nouagt BTW if that affects anything.
-UPDATE 2-
Flashed stock Oreo after flashing Nougat, and in the setup menus, the wifi networks are showing up in STOCK OREO. Still with SIM removed. Now to flash the RR-P rom and see if I'm all set.
-FINAL UPDATE-
Flashed RR-P 7.0.2. Everything is back to normal.

Thank you very much! I checked whether the sim card has an effect, removed it and flashed Stock Oreo -> problem still exists. Then i flashed Nougat an experienced the same effect: Wifi worked right on the setup menu.
@Golv do you have any idea why this happens? I think, this problem should affect anybody, who wants to go back to prior versions.

I believe it is related to the hosd_signed.img file that likely writes over the persist partition. By downgrading, we are overwriting the hosd and the nougat ruu then formats and rewrites a new MAC address. It was interesting to see this happening, but I'm glad I found a workaround.
Sorry for the delay in reply. For some reason notifications stopped coming to me ...
Most likely you should change Mac address setting from random to device’s Mac address before switching to stock (Settings - Network - Wifi - Network details - Advanced - Privacy - USE DEVICE MAC).
