[Completed] Operation not supported - XDA Assist

Hello there. I try to change my mac address on my lenovo s930 , android 4.2.2
I tried with busybox and terminal emulator, i enter the following lines
$su
#busybox if config wlan0 down
(at this moment wifi go off but then its up again after few seconds)
#busybox if config wlan0 hw ether "mac address"
and at this point i get :
if config: siocsifhwaddr: operation not supported.
now from what i have read on the web, it is a problem is that my current driver or kernel do not support this kinda of operation, and then i tried to update my driver dialing *#*#526#*#* (yes i tapped 7 times on bild number to activate dev mode) but nothing happens, if face none of those code actualy works. then i tried to update my system , using system update from built in interface, it downloaded the new version but when i click "now restart installation" i get failed to install the new firmwware : enoent ( no such file or directory ).
now this brings me to my question, what to do now ? there is any other ways to change my mac ? or what should i try next ?

[Q] Mac spoofing on Honeycomb (I tried..but..)

Hello.
I'm trying to change the Mac Address of my Xoom tablet.
Region: Europe
Firmware: 3.1 original
Root: Yes
I tried the following:
- some tutorials (I suppose about froyo and gingerbrand) tell to look for a file called "nvram.txt" but in honeycomb doens't exist any file with this name (I used root explorer to searct)
- I found a file ( ect/wifi/mcm4329.cal ) with written: mac_address: .... and one full mac. I tried to edit it with another one but the point is that when I look in "tablet --> info --> status --> wi-fi mac address" I realized the mac address wasn't the same writteng on mcm4329.cal. So I suppose the one I found is not the wifi address.
- I tried with ipconfig | grep HWaddress and similars... from adb shell (--> "grep doesn't exists) and from terminal (--> permission denied)
And thats'all.
I suppose there is some file where I can add some line in a way similar to "edit nvram.txt".
Any idea?
Thanks in advance

[GUIDE][CWM] WLAN Calibration and MAC address fix [CM]

This is for CyanogenMod and its derivates. Stock ROMs should be fine.
If you are inrested in editing your MAC address, there's a guide linked below. I don't know if stock ROMs will automcatically correct the MAC. In this case I think you have to edit /efs/imei/.nvmac.info (read more something about /efs before playing with it!)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The easiest way to do the calibration is:
Turn wifi ON and run
Code:
tiwlan_plts -n
This is the script called from a oneshot init service in my init.latona.rc if someone is interested. It will calibrate and correct the MAC automatically, even after a data wipe:
Code:
#!/system/bin/sh
if [ ! -f /data/misc/wifi/nvs_map.bin ]; then
insmod /system/lib/modules/tiwlan_drv.ko
/system/bin/tiwlan_loader -i /system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini -f /system/etc/wifi/firmware.bin
/system/bin/tiwlan_plts -n
rmmod tiwlan_drv
fi

UPDATE: I found an easy way to get the real MAC.
Download the apk attached or run the following commands:
Code:
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
ln -s /system/lib/modules/tiwlan_drv.ko /system/etc/wifi/tiwlan_drv.ko
#Make sure wifi is off
./mfgloader -l #Take the binary from a stock ROM
./mfgloader -u
rm /system/etc/wifi/tiwlan_drv.ko
mount -o remount,ro /system
After that your MAC address shoud begin with D0:C1:B1 and not 08:00:28.
To see your current MAC: System Settings > About phone > Status (turn wifi on)

While I was reading some logs, I noticed these lines
Code:
TIWLAN: 1089.979242: Starting to process NVS...
TIWLAN: 1089.983698: No Nvs, Setting default MAC address
TIWLAN: 1089.989007: pHwInit->uEEPROMCurLen: 1c
TIWLAN: 1089.993462: ERROR: If you are not calibating the device, you will soon get errors !!!
...
TIWLAN: 1094.726827: Station ID : 08-00-28-12-03-58
...
You can see that the device is not calibrated and that the default MAC address is assigned.
Each device should have a unique MAC address, two devices with the same MAC address in the same network will give problems.
________
UPDATE
I made two flashable files:
wlan_calibration.zip will only do the calibration
wlan_calibration_rand.zip will do the calibration and will randomize the last three octets of the address

If you still want to do it on your own, here the guide:
_______________
WLAN Calibration
Here the steps you need to follow (taken from: WLAN Calibration):
1) Turn wifi off
2) From ADB/terminal emulator run the following commands [1]:
Code:
$ su
# cd /data/misc/wifi
# insmod /system/lib/modules/tiwlan_drv.ko
# start wlan_loader
# ifconfig tiwlan0 up
# tiwlan_cu -b
/ w p 1 l 2 f 2
/ t b v 21
/ t b t 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
/ q
# rmmod tiwlan_drv
This will create this file: /data/misc/wifi/nvs_map.bin. If it's not there, you did something wrong.
After that you should not get the error while turning wifi ON.
________
MAC address fix
Even after the calibration, you'll still have the default MAC address (Station ID : 08-00-28-12-03-58). But no problem, you can 'easly' change it: Editing the MAC Address.
You need to get the newly created /data/misc/wifi/nvs_map.bin and edit it with an hex editor as described in the guide linked above.
I still don't know if the calibration will improve anything, but it surely won't hurt:
For optimal Wi-Fi performance it is mandatory to calibrate the Wi-Fi hardware

NOTE: nvs_map.bin is in /data, so if you do a factory reset you have to do this again.

Wow...good solution buddy. I think u shouldpost this in development thread. People dont look much in general thread.
this should be added to the cm9/10 instalation .zip file
I did flash the zip file, ran the other commands thru terminal and see the file /data/misc/wifi/nvs_map.bin.
I don't understand the next step to be done.
I cannot open the bin file using hexeditor, I gave it root access.
And, in case i open it what mac address should i use? Is some address hard coded to each phone?

I don't know how MAC are assigned, I simply randomized the last part of the address (I kept the first part: 80:00:28).
Anyway I just uploaded a new zip file to make things even simpler. It will automatically randomize the last four three groups. If you want to use it, you need to delete /data/misc/wifi/nvs_map.bin first. EDIT: I changed the script, now you can do the calibration without removing the file.
Anyway I don't know what's wrong with your editor, I did it from my computer.
I tried using hex editor from play store.
I'll try the new zip tomorrow..
As I wrote in the OP, today I found the way to get the original MAC.
I don't know what is needed to make the commands work while in recovery (services needed etc...), so I made a dummy app (I simply adapted the code of an app I made few days ago to do a similar thing).
No fancy icon (it's the default one), no checks, ugly etc... It simply does the job (my Java knowledge is almost zero)
EDIT:
I almost forgot to say that the real MAC is in /efs/imei/.nvmac.info. It was the first place where I looked, but it's an hidden file an I didn't see at first.

This guide is for the kernel 2.6.35 which uses a completely different driver, it's quite an old thread. The calibration is done in a different way and I don't think that's the problem.
I'm not using CM11, so it's quite hard for me to know exactly what's wrong.

Hi there
trying to fix Samsung s4 active i9295 wifi problem. at least got the MAC address showing (was 02:lots of zeroes) still unable to start wifi. is there anything else I should search for? tiwlan_drv.ko was not there so I downloaded it sepparately. do I need some more modules to be added? using stock 4 file engineering FW Android 5.0.1

100% WiFi Monitor Mode using Samsung Galaxy S2 (GT-I9100) Step by Step

Hi xda-mates. In this post I'm gonna show you, How to get wifi monitor mode on your device without external wifi adapter. If you don't know what is "wifi mode" goto wikipedia. The package consist from drivers, some wifi tools and aircrack.
Monitor Mode getting steps:
1. You have to root your device.
2. Flash CM 9.1.0.
3. Check out, your using originally cwm kernel included in the firmware you flashed.
4. Download my package(the password is my nickname).
5. Extract it to your sd.
6. Open up the terminal.
7. Type
Code:
su
cd pathToYourSd
sh install.sh
it will simply install all stuff to your system.
8. Type 'wmon on' in the terminal to activate monitor mode (type 'wmon off' to activate managed mode).
That's all. You have installed all that you needed, activated monitor mode and now you can use aircrack.
Troubleshooting:
Problem:
Code:
cannot find wireless tools, exiting!
Solution:
a) You must execute wifi tools (aircrack also) from root directory!
Code:
cd /
b) Check out of iwconfig, iwmulticall, iwpriv existance in /data/local/bin/.
Problem:
Code:
insmod: can't insert 'dhd.ko': invalid module format
error: SIOCGIFFLAGS (No such device)
Solution:
a) Make sure you are in supported rom and kernel.
b) Check out the file existance in /data/wmon/ (3 file).

GREAT!
Thanks man! i was waiting for someone to go into this much detail, but does the wmon siyah mean that i can dualboot CM 9 and w/e rom ( in my case alliance) and get this to work? my problem with this before is that nothing would happen after my wifi is disabled and module is "loaded", also what do you mean run aircrack from the root dir? like root of the sd?
P.S. Testing now on the Galaxy S2 LTE version ( Rogers)

Use iwconfig wlan0 instead of airmon-ng wlan0. And make sure that you are in the root directory.
Code:
su
cd /
wmon on
iwconfig wlan0
iwconfig wlan0

Don't pay attention to "managed mode" lettering, you are in monitor mode. To test monitor mode working type 'airodump-ng wlan0' and you will see that everything works perfect.
errrm.. not QUIIITEE, it says cannot find wireless tools, exiting. then it deletes all the files i extracted
IT IS WORK! one little question
THIS WORK, first, and ofc, THX man
I had a sgs2(official), rooted in gingerbread, and then i flashed ICS with CM 9.1, then i folllow yours steps, y putted my sgs2 in mode monitor and i checked.
Just one question, i searched in google, and ask in IRC, but i don't find the answer:
¿Do can i use the same steps to get WPA as Ubuntu or Backtrack? else... ¿do you know some link where a tutorial get wpa via sgs2?
I want complete the last step, thx for your time, and sry for my english

Thx for answer me, i did decide install another time backtrack in my sgs2(i removed ), but i want crack wpa without brute force or diccionaries, because it is imposible.
¿Is there some way to crack a wpa without brute force or diccionaries? ¿Do i could implement rainbow tables in sgs2, or is there some way to hashing with aircrack?
Thx for your time,

Aircrack-ng is included to the package you installed. Just type aircrack-ng after switching wifi monitor mode
from a day to other, i can't use this
i didn't use somedays, and now i can't use, it is appears as delete, or simplely, not work. I did install applications in my sgs2.
But now i can't run it. I tried reinstall, but always put in the output:
"wmon on" not found
"wmod on" not found
"wmod monitor" not found
i did that in /, and i executed the install.sh in sdcard as you said in your post.
In internet i not found nothing, and i know programming bash a little, i tried solved gave wmon bit executable but is useless, i follow all steps rights as you said. The only one thing interesant when i execute install that is the output:

Installation COmpleted! To start WiFi monitor mode just type : "wmod monitor"
I am sry if i am heavy, thx for your time.
This is pretty cool, I managed to make some progress, however got error at authorization stage at line:
aireplay-ng -1 0 -a MAC wlan0
Waiting for beacon frame (BSSID: .......) on channel -1
Couldn't determine current channel for wlan0, you should either force the operation with --ignore-negative-one or apply kernel patch
same error with injection
I'm pretty new to linux stuff, is there any way to bypass this?
Another thing is that I can't use wi-fi after using monitor mode, even if i shut it down (wmon off) until phone restart, is that alright?
Thanks in advance, and keep doing the great job!

[Q] Openvpn Binary for Lollipop S5

With the lolipop update a new security feature was enforced that an executable must be position independent (PIE) see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Position-independent_code
I am trying to run an openvpn binary in a terminal emulator (command line/shell whatever you want to call it) on a rooted sprint s5 extracted from the openvpn installer apk:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.schaeuffelhut.android.openvpn.installer&hl=en
There is a thread on xda regarding disabling the pie security but it talks about nexus and not an s5 and I even tried the patches but it didn't work for me (I didn't get the same error about pie but it still didn't help) it works perfectly fine from a kitkat note 3.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/development/fix-bypassing-pie-security-check-t2797731
I am looking for any possible solutions (ie lolipop compatible openvpn binary or a working pie patch for the s5)
Thanks so much!

Error with this binary
When running this binary on 5.1.1, I get the following error:

Hi guys! Thank you jamie_clarke_jc and gRUblo !!!
Thanks to your answers and binary I managed to finally run openvpn on my Note 3.
I can confirm that it works also beautifully on Samsung N9005 Android 5.0 :good:
EDIT: Smalll Update ...
I'm sorry, it turns out that I still have no connection through OpenVPN!
I thought that everything is fine because OpenVPN settings showed that I am connected, and I even getting an IP form VPN, but cannot ping to other devices on the same network. At first glance, I thought that it works, but it turned out that the web pages load of a devices loads from web browser cache ::crying:

Using this binary, latest busybox, and with the ip copied to /sbin ... I still get ... "unable to redirect default gateway - VPN gateway parameter (-route-gateway or -ifconfig) is missing".
Any ideas y'all?

I think i might be because your ifconfig.
I have ifconfig in:
- /system/bin/ifconfig (link to /system/bin/toolbox) -stock ifconfig, not able to create tunnel,
- /system/xbin/ifconfig (link to /system/xbin/busybox) -created by busybox, that one works.
Path to ifconfig is fixed in the OpenVpn binary, and in the binary sent by jamie_clarke_jc, it is:
"/system/xbin/ifconfig", (since it works in my case).
Same for "route", path should be: "/system/xbin/route" (link to /system/xbin/busybox).
Please check if you've installed busybox in correct path, if yes, maybe try another version of busybox.
My openvpn binary is also located in "/system/xbin/".
It might have something to do with a client.

Hmm, I have busybox from Stephen Erickson installer ... in /system/xbin, same 5.27MB openvpn binary above, and same client by Friedrich. Are you using TAP device? (Note, no problem here with TUN device ... but really need bridged connection)
Is there a chance to get this binary recompiled to the latest openvpn code? Looking to get this patch included to help with my TAP configuration:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.network.openvpn.devel/10111
I've been using the paid version of 'OpenVPN Client' app by colucci-web.it for a month or so now ... their TAP emulator has been working fine with no issues so far as I can tell.
