I think everyone now knows about the wifi country code problem in ICS roms ( its a row in setting provider database that set every time we try to enable wifi and it read the value from sim card. if its not US or EU or... you can not use some features like wifi, face unlock,.... )
I have done many searches please dont say its already done :-" I know there is a simple script which runs with script manager every time the wifi status changed and it works fine for aosp roms but the problem is with sense 3.5 ICS. in aosp roms the phone says wifi is turning on and after a sec script manager does the work and your good to go but in sense rom it says turning on and the phone hangs so script manager does not work for that! i found another solution for this problem here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1372074 but its for nexus s i tried the file in that thread also other firmwares from sensation sense 3.5 gb roms ... and i can not find an answer ( noob )
can some one plese help and make a similar solution for sensation
this is what they said in that thread:

Update:
created update.zip file with Broadcom firmware 4.218.248.18.
This update.zip will run only on "crespo", i.e. Nexus S.
Should work for non-rooted device via boot recovery, if someone could test and provide results, it would be great.
Disclaimer: use this update on your own risk.
------
I had connection problems with 802.11n router in WPA2-PSK configuration. According to log authentication timeout occurred on every try to connect.
Here is snippet of typical error (used 'adb shell su -c "wpa_cli log_level 0"' to enable verbose wi-fi logging):
Code:
D/wpa_supplicant(11118): RTM_NEWLINK, IFLA_IFNAME: Interface 'wlan0' added
D/wpa_supplicant(11118): Wireless event: cmd=0x8c02 len=33
D/wpa_supplicant(11118): WEXT: Custom wireless event: 'Conn ConfigMismatch 01 00'
D/wpa_supplicant(11118): wpa_driver_wext_driver_cmd SCAN-ACTIVE len = 4096
D/wpa_supplicant(11118): wpa_driver_wext_driver_cmd SCAN-ACTIVE len = 0, 11
D/wpa_supplicant(11118): Ongoing scan action - reject new request

I/wpa_supplicant(11118): wlan0: Authentication with <AP MAC ADDRESS> timed out.
On my Nexus S it was solved by rolling back wi-fi firmware to version used in Gingerbread.
Wi-Fi firmware version that have problems (integrated into ICS) 4.218.248.20, 4.218.248.23.
fw_bcm4329.bin file can be obtained from AOSP sources:
$git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/hardware/broadcom/wlan
$cd wlan
$git checkout android-2.3.7_r1
Firmware ver. 4.218.248.18 file located at ./bcm4329/firmware/fw_bcm4329.bin
It is needed to have rooted device to change firmware. Steps:
Turn OFF wi-fi on the device.
>adb push fw_bcm4329.bin /sdcard/
>adb shell
$su
#mount -o,remount rw /system
#cp /sdcard/fw_bcm4329.bin /system/vendor/firmware/
#mount -o,remount ro /system
enable wi-fi.

THANK YOU

another method for doing this but it is so much easier
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
Final Fix
A permanent fix to this problem is to fake the provider mcc, to do so,
1. your phone has to be rooted
2. install SQLite Editor from aptoide
3. open SQLite Editor
4. goto /data/data/com.android.providors.telephony/databases
5. select carriers
6. find your gsm providor
7. change the mcc value of your provider to 310 which is US
8. close, and check if it works
whenever the phone get the mcc (after reboot, airplane mode, network disconnect) the value of mcc=310 and the wifi_country_code = us
Hope it works for everybody

Ali
hello everybody.
first of all i will present myself.
i'm from France and this is the first time i have a smartphone.
my phone is :
Téléphone : Acer Liquid express E320 -orange
Android : 2.3.4
ROM : acer E320 1.013.00 EMAEA ORGFR
Bande de base : C6-1.013.00
Kernel : 2.6.35.7
after several check in different forums, i didn't find the solution in order to root my phone.
i have tried Doomlord V4 and V3 and it don't work.
i want to root my phone in order to delete some ORANGE application that i would never use.
then it can give some free space on the phone memory (that is very smal = 150Mo).
on a french forum, we are 3 people with exactly the same problem.
so if you help me, you help 3 people....!!
we have tried with all software available on the net but nothing as work.
please find in the link below, the screen shot of my last try with doomlord V4.
https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B9iSIWzMh8dueThpRnJBbGdYTlU
if you need more information or if you have some other things to test, do not hesitate to ask.

Thread moved to Q&A due to it being a question. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.

Salut, t'as essayé avec le OneClickRoot ? USB DebugMod ON ?
Essaye ici... http://www.androidust.com/how-to-root-acer-liquid-express-e320-with-one-click-root/
Sinon essaye avec ça... je sais pas si ça fonctionne par contre... http://www.actualitemobile.com/foru...5df3c2a0662ba09e5bc74a7a1&/topic,19874.0.html

@prg626
oui j'ai essayé avec ces 2 méthodes et aucune ne marche.
merci quand même
Hope someone could help me (and the 2 other french user i know with the same trouble)
thanks
Try This...
I don't have that device nor seen it but in my shop experience, you can modify the rooting programs by extracting the SU and SUPERUSER files from other SuperOneClick programs and pasting those files into that one you posted here and try that. If that does'nt work, then try to get that device in a custom recovery and find a root.zip flashable file and paste the SU and SUPERUSER files into it. Then flash the Root.zip file from the root of your sd card. I got that to work on alot of IMPOSSIBLE devices Sometimes devices are "read only error" so your only alternative is to flash from recovery.
thanks but it seems a litle bit complicated for me...
nonody has another easyest solution for me ?
probably someone has already reach the goal of root this phone... so if he can give us the way to do it, he will be great.
It would seem all rooting exploits are or have been blocked, the only way I have found to root the E320 is the Xakep ROM Flash from acer-club.ru although the rom flash is for 1.008.00 and not 1.013.00 (I did read that 1.008.00 could gain root access using DoomLords tool but not sure of version but depending on your phones production date may now be blocked) I have flashed Xakep ROM 1.008.00 after 1.013.00 now cannot update or reflash as the Radio/AMSS side of ROM is still 1.013.00 ... just to make you aware.... would advise to read as much as possible from Xakep's postings
Rooted Xakep E320/C6 EUU Hacked Update
thanks for this info.
probably i have found a solution :
replace the original ROM Orange (impossible to root) by another ROM Acer already rooted...
does someone can confirm me that it will be possible ?
i want to replace : OS_Acer_1.013.00.EMEA.ORGFR_A23G_A
by this one : acer_E320_1.008.00_EMEA_GEN1:
That is what I'm on now although it has given me the problem that neither the Xakep 1.008.00 or the Orange 1.013.00 EUU'S will reflash the phone.
I must admit I have not tried to solve this problem yet as phone is working 100% other than unable to reflash.
One thing it will not update is the RADIO part of the phone, this will remain as 1.013.00 and this is probably the reason for being unable to reflash.
Rooted Xakep E320/C6 EUU Hacked Update
Since it was stated in another post (possibly on another site just can't remember ) that prior to an OTA update root access was gained using DoomLords exploit, finally a ROM has surfaced *** :highfive: *** that may be of use - Link at the bottom of the page for the ROM
Yes I have it on my phone now and seems A-OK BUT..... and this is a big BUT!!!!......
Please..............(the dreaded disclaimering bit)
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FLASH THIS IF YOU ARE NOT 100% SURE YOU CAN RECOVER FROM ANY PROBLEMS WITH FLASHING THE ROM
AS YOU WILL HAVE TO EDIT FILES TO 'DOWNGRADE' YOUR PHONES SYSTEM.
If you are confident in editing and flashing then by all means do so BUT I am not held accountable for errors or unusable software/hardware, what may have worked for me may NOT work for you.....
(Basically if you're not sure don't do it - I was only 80% sure trying it but I take risks and fully accept the consequences if I brick my phone)
What you will need to do is the following:
Firstly you will need the Temp files of both the ROM you are using and 1.005.00 ROM.
Current Rom...
No Need To Connect Your Phone For This.
Run the update program.
Search for (depending on your ROM) a folder in
C:\Documents and Settings\*Current_User*\Application Data\
the folder named ACER_EUU_Download_Tools (Stock Update)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
or for
C:\Documents and Settings\*Current_User*\Local Settings\Temp\
a folder named 7ZipSfx.000 (Xakep ROM's as I have come across no others yet and the .000 can increment .001 .013)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Copy that folder to another location then cancel the update (you will notice if you check all but a few files are deleted - this happens even if the update succeds or fails to flash your phone)
Now do the same for the 1.005.00 update and copy the folder to another location.
From the 1.005.00 copied update folder copy the following files:
AMSS_C6.Orange.1.005.00_4G_2Die.hex
Android_C6.Orange.1.005.00_User_Signed.hex
flex-Orange_FR_C6.Orange.1.005.00_User_Signed.hex
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Paste into the copied Current ROM folder.
Rename the corresponding files - examples:
AMSS
Orange = AMSS_C6.Orange.1.014.00_4G_2Die.hex
Xakep =C6_Image_4G_2Die_MODEM.hex
Android System
Orange = Android_C6.Orange.1.014.00_User_Signed.hex
Xakep = C6_Android_WB_1.008.00_release_key.hex
FLEX
Orange = flex-EMEA_GEN1_signed.hex
Xakep = flex_Orange_UK_C6.Orange.1.014.00_User_Signed.hex
rename and add .bak to the files (we want to preserve the filenames)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now rename the copied 1.005.00 files to the corresponding files renamed .bak (to suit your ROM's files)
Make a backup copy of your now edited folder incase of any failure
(the EUU deletes files on success AND failure - we don't want to have to go through this again)
You can now delete/remove any files you no longer require (1.005.00 copied folder - .bak files)
You can now run the file EUU.exe from the edited folder and update the phone.
SKU - The French/Russian ROM's use different SKU than the UK ROM, the above method is the only one i've been able to
revert my phone back to a UK ROM - FR and RU ROMS can flash over each other and UK...UK is unable to flash over FR/RU ROM.

Any DEV interested in modding and maybe making Root Access persistant (think this is the only ROM prior to 1.008.00 update that is rootable) --==>>HERE<<==-- is the link for ACER 1.005.00 ORGFR ROM I found.
Have Fun.

:cyclops: . . . . . and here is an OTA .zip I grabbed - Official OTA contains .mbn & .img files so here's some info .txt
Has anyone else tried this yet?
I have tried it but I had firmware from acer-club.ru and I have bricked my phone, so as this post says be careful.
If anyone know how to get past 'aFlex download fail!!!' and the USB is not recognized by PC then let me know.
For those that come across this I finally got it working. I am not sure what did it but this is what happened.
Phone was left with battery disconnected most of the day.
I formatted a 4GB mini SD card and copied the folder from OTA.ZIP file on the bottom of Antagonist42 post.
Inserted this mini SD refitted the battery and whilst holding volume up and volume down press and held the power button.
Not sure if I released one of the volume keys but modem download came up without the dreaded 'aFlex download fail!!!' message.
Connected to laptop flashed with standard 1.013.00 firmware from Acer UK website.
Phone then booted and did OTA update to 1.014.00 and all looks OK. (sorry Antagonist42 was not quick enough to the OTA files)
I don't know what helped here but I thought I would let you all know what I did.
My warranty is still sending out a replacement phone tomorrow even though I got it going so I will try Antagonist42's root fix when I have the new one as this one needs to go back with the stock ROM.
Finally have phone working ( to a degree ) and moved house ( unable to play with phone and OTA ).
aSYSTEM/aFLEX/etc download fails
Initially rerun the update program and/or download the updater again, ensure you're not getting decompression/write errors on your PC as this will give you the same errors.
If after doing the above the error remains then it could actually be hardware failure ( still trying to iron my own NAND/partition error out )
As for running OTA over an error the OTA is not written to memory in the same way as the PC updater as with prior post my guess is corrupt file and not an actual 'brick' as running a fresh updater (the same as the rom that was installed and not a different rom) would probably have corrected the fault.
I'll soon post what other small but interesting things you can do with a stock updater that does not require hacking or vast programming knowledge

Lenovo S920, MT6589 device, data folder is empty. Nevertheless there's a lot of stuff in the folder /dev, but no /APCFG/APRDEB/ route at all either.
The first "non-root" method didn't worked for me either. It changes the MAC but when I am trying to connect to the router with this "new" MAC, which by the way it worked in my Galaxy Note with Cyanogenmod 10.2 installed, the phone can't get internet, although it connects to the router.

Now I know that all these "Droids" are not created equal... But, I suspect that your unable to find the /APCFG/APRDEB/ in the /dev Folder... Is 'cause its under the /data Folder....
/data/nvram"/APCFG/APRDEB" -> WIFI & WIFI_CONFIG...

BTW: You messed up... At least so with whatever version of MTK Engineering Mode is currenty on Google play...
length(h,byte) : 6
lenght(byte) : 4
That'll net you the first Four Digits plus the last Eight of your MAC Address... Such as it is.
Though I'll doubt that this too would survive a wipe. Before heading back off to 00:08:22:xx:xx:xx-random-land again...
nice guide but is there any way to permanently change MAC address. it auto Revert back to original MAC address On reboot
Thanks!
ANY IDEA ABOUT THIS ISSUE????

I know of this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cryptotel.chamelemac&hl=en
chamelemac
it changed mac adress for Leva ported Rom perfectly.And it persist through restart of phone.
It will however have "error not compatible device" if device prop is changed to something like "samsung galaxy" etc.

Worked for me too!!!! Every time i reboot, the last 3 par of HEX char randomly change.
After set the original mac address with Chamelemac, and a reboot, MAC ADDRESS remains!!!!
NOTE: tested and working with MT6595 Zopo zp999 3gb RAM 32gb ROM
5.Click NVRAM
6.In Byte String Access put values as
addr(h,byte) : 4
length(byte) : 6
Ok this works but evidently my info are stored somewhere else. at 4 and 6 I have only zeroes. Programming those worked (it stick after reboot) but didn't fix the issue. Still have the 1st 6 hex the same and the other 6 randomly changed everytime I disable the wifi
Question is, do you have any idea where (at what addres) this string could be stored?
I have an ALPS w806 aka K18
thank you
How could you restore your device.prop or build.prop to its default? I'm encountering an Chamelemac error: "error not compatible device" on my Huawei Y220-U10. I wish you could enlighten me a bit because just last few months I've been able to change my mac address with the use of Chamelemac but now I can't. And i don't know why, maybe application update but it seems like chamelemac is just stuck with version 1.0 . Maybe you know something that could help me. By the way I'd rather use chamelemac other than those posted on the thread because it's easy to use just one click and i could change my mac address instantly. Hope for your response. Thanks in advance!

Now I know that all these "Droids" are not created equal... But, I suspect that your unable to find the /APCFG/APRDEB/ in the /dev Folder... Is 'cause its under the /data Folder....
/data/nvram"/APCFG/APRDEB" -> WIFI & WIFI_CONFIG...
BTW:
2.Turn Off your Wifi .Open MTK Engineering Mode shortcut app and Click MTK Settings
.
(Incase you are not able to access Engineering mode, skip to alternate method below)
3.Swipe To Connectivity Tab.
4.Click Wifi
5.Click NVRAM
6.In Byte String Access put values as
addr(h,byte) : 4
BTW: You messed up... At least so with whatever version of MTK Engineering Mode is currenty on Google play...
length(h,byte) : 6
lenght(byte) : 4
That'll net you the first Four Digits plus the last Eight of your MAC Address... Such as it is.

Sucks really ?
Thanks a lot.
Last resort
If you are unable to change your MAC with those methods, I found a working solution that should work for everyone. Try this: http://bbs.infinixmobility.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&action=printable&tid=13678 It worked for me when anything I tried didn't work.
Hi,
I'm sorry, but the files below are not found:/data/nvram/APCFG/APRDEB/
any other solution?
Thanks
Hello! I've been trying to flash CWM on my LG Optimus 3D, but, unfortunately, I was unable to. I am currently on a stock ROM (or should I say..stuck ROM)
My device is rooted, USB Debugging is enabled, I tried with ROM Manager and Recovery Flash (both from the Market) as well as two PC application. Here is what I get from the CWM Recovert touch installer:
Code:

After so many tries, I went in to ROM Manager (where it tells me there is no available version for my P920 and specified as manually installed 3x+. Now my phone won't start. I press the power button, the LG logo appears for half a second, then it shuts down. Guess I'll have to reflash it with the LG Recovery tool...
Thank you in advance!
Here is a link to a very good tutorial. there are quite a few more on this subject.

You can substitute your own choice of rom after loading the V28b that updates your phone to 4.0.4 (ICS)

Thank you very much, my friend! I shall try to do this. However, I wanted to find a ROM that is below 4.0.4, I already have the stock 4.0.4 installed, and it is really, really slow. I was looking for an older ROM but unfortunately all links are dead..And CyanogenMod seems not to work for me --'

If you do a search on the optimus 3d forum for "downgrade to gingerbread" you will find help to downgrade. A gingerbread (2.3.5) rom can not be used if you do not downgrade from ICS. None of the rom manager type of apps that are available from the play store work with this phone.Only use the methods to install roms using the recommended methods in the optimus 3D forums
If you upgraded to ICS using LG official update tools, many users have had problems after upgrading. Try the method described in my original post and if you are not happy with the results maybe then try a downgrade.
Hi could You help me with this:
- BlueStacks 0.8.7.3069 (ver 4.0.4), cpu amd, I did all the steps with MultiTool v1.21r1 auto root, superuser, launcher, de-bloat etc. everything works perfect
- changed settings of build.prop many times manually via app and thru multitool update without any problems
- however once i used wrong version of build.prop from BS Tweaker folder 09 (which are (now i know) for BS builds <0.9 (ver 4.4.2) and uploaded it via multitool >>> result: after restart Bluestacks got infinite loop on boot
- unfortunately I didn't make backup of C:\ProgramData\BlueStacks\Android
- so I tired to change back the build.prop , In BS there are 2 locations: //data/bluestacks.prop and //system/build.prop
The 1 under //data is bs-specific file that simulator has priority to use
- I mounted Root.fs via OSF and changed //system/build.prop to good build.prop.BAK
- Now, BS runs but showing only black screen
- When I trying to use Multitool to update build.prop got error: * Checking for system services status.... ERROR: Timed out while waiting for required services.
So, how to repair BS to previous state with all installed apps? How to inject proper build.prop to //data/bluestacks.prop to see if that could help?
//BS Tweaker under BSProp reports me this bad build.prop for 4.4.2.
Best
solved
Hi, I repaired it in a simple way.
- ADB didn't allow me to inject proper build.prop in /data/.bluestacks.prop because of problem with root access - ADB couldn't connect to BS as root, always got [email protected]:/ $ whatever I tired to do.
- I found different tool 'BlueStacks Easy', this allow me to convert file system format from Data.sparsefs folder to Data.fs, so I was able to mount this image via OSFMount and edit .bluestacks.prop using copy&paste method then convert back.
- Result: BlueStacks backed to work, no more black screen :victory:
