Hi all,
How do I change the network name of the Asus transformer, when I connect to the router and login to router to check the dhcp clients asus shows up as android-1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, I would like to change this to register as ipad or may be another name I did change the mac and put in a Ipad mac but no sucess.
I will appriciate any help, Im running Android revolution HD 3.4 rom.
Thanks
You can edit this in the build.prop file I believe. Or another /system/ file somewhere, look into it.
OK I'll keep looking
Using your root explorer, edit build.prop and add the line: net.hostname=name
Obviously put whatever name you would like where it says name.
You may have to mount the file system where build.prop is located as r/w. Then, edit the file permissions to add Read and Write to be able to apply the changes.
I would also reboot, then when connected to wifi, you should see it in your dhcp clients list as the name you made.
TomTcom it worked
Hello,
I have a very strange situation with my device.
I was planning to manually backup my EFS folder (actually "efs") as per some manual backup tutorial I found around here, when I noticed that I have no .nv_data file. Apparently, there's no .nv_data or .nv_data.md5 on my device that I could find (rooted, using Android Terminal Emulator and the "find" command).
I looked around EFS, I copied EFS to my computer and looked some more.
However, the device seems to work fine otherwise.
Anyone can tell me whether this is normal? I was under the impression that this file is quite important in relation with IMEI and modem.
Thanks!
After flashing stock ROM on my Moto G I was not able to use Wi-Fi, it does not turn on. So I tried some other ROMS from various countries and nothing. However when I flashed the Nexus G - beta 4 custom ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2606943) I got it working again.
Can someone please explain what is happening, and help me?
same here

Solved
So, I got it working again. The problem was indeed in the persist folder, it was missing a file named WCNSS_qcom_wlan_factory_nv.bin. So I managed to extract it from the persist.img and moved it to persist folder again. After that I edited the bin file and inserted my MAC address. Finally I have flashed my phone to stock ROM again and it worked just fine.
Here's the file:
fixed
Thank you so much this fixed my problem as well
Ok. Let's try but first let me e sure how to do it.
1. Edit persist.img with the .bin file inside.
2. Installl stock rom on my phone.
3. Flash persist.img in fastboot mode.
It's that correct?

First of all check if your persist folder is missing the bin file I have mentioned. If it is, You have to extract that file from persist.img or You can just download the one I uploaded.Then you must edit it and insert your mac address and after that you just have move it to the persist folder using a root explorer.
I could not flash persist.img, bootloader was always returning an access denied message, so i figured a way to explore the persist.img file using LinuxReader and extracted the WCNSS_qcom_wlan_factory_nv.bin from it.
So basically i ''flashed'' persist manually. Copy, edit, paste.
Thanks
Fixed
I have 2 days searching the solution and try with so many files.
Thanks
Please, could someone explain me exactly (for n00b like me) how to solve this problem?
Solved
Im lost on how to do this... do i just extract the file to the persist folder??
I formated /persit folder also, tried install stock rom, but no success with wifi
The problem is: i have no persist folder inside root and when i try to create it, the folder was gone after reboot.
Bootloader dont let me flash persist.img
What can I do?

Wi fi problem
Hi guys,
i've a Moto G 16 Gb purchased on Amazon.De, so german phone. I live in italy and when i connect to wi fi no problem. When i go in switzerland and i try to connect to another wi fi net (my girlfriend's line) provided by Swisscom, it doesn't work: well, i insert passoword, but it cant connect ... i called Swisscom, they tried to reset router and so on , but still persist this problem. The person (swiss) that sells me the phone (i bought it as used) said that he has the swiss provider Cablecom and it didn't have any problem. I'm fully stock with 4.4.2 . Anyone has any idea? thank you
ps: with my galaxy s3 i have no problem both in italy and in switzerland
Can anyone help in explaining the above?
....to a relative newbie? I've downgraded from 4.4.2 down to 4.3 and now my wi-fi is not working anymore, the MAC address is lost.
I'd really, really appreciate any help with regards to the procedure in going about fixing the 'Persist Folder' .
Thank you for reading.
Please make any method to solve Persist folder

I'm sorry, but can you please elaborate? I'm have this wifi issue and it's really annoying.
You say to extract the file from persist.img, but where exactly do I find that? The file you uploaded is not persist.img.
How would I edit and insert my mac address?
Where is this persist folder? I can't find it anywhere.
If you could respond that'd be great.

The file which he uploaded in post 3 was extracted out of the persist image.

You'll find persist folder at /persist.
You need filemanger with root permission, the you can see this folder.
So copy WCNSS_qcom_wlan_factory_nv.bin to your SD card. Use your filemanger to copy this file to /persist.
Activate wi-fi, the you'll find your mac adress under Settings > About Phone > Status > Wi-fi MAC Adress
Open WCNSS_qcom_wlan_factory_nv.bin on your phone with a text editor and type your mac adress inside that file and save it.
I have not tried it because i did not have this issue. But this is the way how i understood it.
simply copied the file in /persist, set permissions and rebooted
No MAC adress to enter
Works fine now
Thanks, very much!
You resolved me
Only its the put the WCNSS in the /persist folder and OK.
(You need to have the firmware with /persist).
Hello guys, i have a Motorola RAZR D3 with stock 4.4.2 ROOTED and i cant find the /persist folder to configure my wifi that is not activating. :crying: My MAC address are unavailable and i discovered that this is happening because i formated the persist folder accidentally. How can i find this folder? And how can i configure the "wcnss_qcom_wlan_nv.bin" file to fix my problem?
Or is there another way to solve this? Thanks
same situation here. waiting for a solution.
Hello, it turns out that yesterday I was changing ROM's but there came a time where to enter the configuration of one of them I realized that I could no longer turn on the wifi, the first thing I suspected is that it was mac address problem so I went to check and indeed, had a mac 02:00:00:00:00:00, then I thought that flashing again with the stock rom would be fixed but to no avail, what can I do to change to a functional MAC ?
Hint: Replace this thread's absolutely sensless title by How to change MAC address ?
Hi, the error was that the wifi folder (located inside /persist) had been deleted, I simply had to modify the stock rom to repair that folder when flashing, that solved my problem.
