Hello Guys,
In some offices or college campuses Wifi is available only for authorised users by mac address filtering. So I tried to change my Galaxy y's MAC address to an authorised user's MAC address and it worked.
The main advantage is you dont have to install any specific app [We know SGY has only 190MB of internal].
So I thought to share this method in XDA. If any doubts please may i know in the comments.
So let's begin.......
REQUIREMENTS:
=============
1. Phone must be rooted.
2. Any root explorer. [I use Xplore file manager]
STEPS:
=====
1. Install a root explorer and open it.
2. Under settings select 'mount system as writable' [ie enable root browsing] and also check 'show hidden files'
3. Now navigate to /data/misc and long press the 'wifi' folder inside it.
4. Select 'Permissions' and make sure 'Read' and 'Write' under 'Others' is ticked. If not, tick it.
5. Open 'wifi' folder.
6. Open the '.nvmac.info' file present inside it with a text editor.
7. Clear the MAC Address inside the file and write down the new MAC Address.
8. Press save and close the file.
THAT'S IT. PROCESS COMPLETE......:victory:
You can Verify that the MAC address under wifi settings has changed.
To get back your previous MAC, just reboot your device.
I will be uploading a video tutorial soon.
This is my first thread in xda. Hope its useful. Please may i know if this worked or not in the comments.

You can put any mac address in the file. Just it has to satisfy the condition for mac address, ie , use only characters 0-9 and A-F, and in the format xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx

So what exactly is a "Real Time Mirror"?
Does this mean that without the mod I am just playing bots?

Does this optimize the settings too or it just adds real time mirror?
this effect performance?
This one enables high settings of the game, but since the game is not yet optimized may lag just sometimes, but it's ok!
i much more like the mod for unlimited $ and Gold...
HELP!
Hey I´ve just done this, but my nexus 7 lagged to the point that its uncomfortable. I´d like to know if someone still have the original files located in the eds folder (AndriodLow, AndroidMed, AndroidHigh) and if you could send them to me or post a link here for a download. Thanks.
here's the original EDS folder file

Is your adb version 1.0.31 or greater? Use "adb version" to see what version you are running.
device offline is usually wrong adb version
device not authorized is usually because you didn't accept the RSA prompt for the whitelist

First of all sorry for such delay in reply and my adb version is Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.29
UPDATE:
Updating tools through Android SDK Manager did help and now device is visible, but I have one more, what seems to me, easy question. Is it possible to edit one rooted file without rerooting whole main directory? I need to edit /system/etc/hosts file.

Upgrade your adb and you should see the RSA prompt and after accepting the prompt on the tablet, everything will work as you expect.

Newbie question: Xiaomi appears to be not compatible with Android Wear. Is there a workaround? Mi4 is on kit kat 4.4.2. I will have to give up one if I dont find a solution.
Will rooting the Xiaomi be a solution if so....can point me to the right place?

I don't know where you brought your mi4,and which rom you're using.
I suggest the Official Developer's ROM,it contains root and can install Google Apps easily.
And then you can install the file attached(checking by yourself,just got it from my /data/app)
use it to install google apps and then update them up to date with play store.
I know there's some 3rd party ROMs for foreign users.you can try them too.
good luck.

OK,i think you need a fastboot flashing package
http://bigota.d.miui.com/4.11.7/cancro_images_4.11.7_4.4_cn_7ad273c4df.tgz
download it and do a backup,
copy your backup and files out of the phone if you don't want lose them.
THIS WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE INCLUDE SD CARD.
and this is v6 with official English locale settings.
PS:in v5,updater is good choice to update to v6.try long pressing the menu button to call menu out.

Hi guys,
same problem with my new mi4 and my moto 360.
I had not had any problem with Xiaomi hongmi Note, but this mi4 is facing this problem.
I am not located in China, so maybe this has something to do with it.

SailfishOS on the Mi Pad 2 (latte).
Myself and eugenio_g7 are working at porting SailfishOS to the Mi Pad 2. Currently much is working, wifi, BT, audio, video playback, and also much is broken. Sensors work but are a little slow to respond, video playback is hardware decoded decoded, no camera (just like lineageos).
Images are available on the porters-ci server at https://gitlab.com/sailfishos-porters-ci/latte-ci/pipelines
Instructions
Flash TWRP
Flash CM 13.0
Download the latest 'artifact' from the build server
Extract the flashable .zip from the artifact .zip
Transfer the flashable zip to the Mipad2
Use TWRP to flash SailfishOS
Reboot
As a preview, see https://twitter.com/adampigg/status/1088178539835346944

Installed the image. Wifi is not working.
Installed and looks like working smoothly on my Mi Pad 2. However, as I in travel now, can't connect to hotel's wifi login page, any workaround on this?
Anyway, this is great. New life for this old abandoned device :good:

usually, if a login page doesnt automatically appear, I visit a http website to get a redirect (https wont work) something like http://www.bbc.co.uk ?
Actually, thinking about it, a remaining issue is that the builtin browser doesnt work! ( just displays white) we havnt figured that out yet. if you install webcat from openrepos, and optionally the newer webkit library, you might be able to get the login page to display
mi pad 2
hi, I installed the sailfish 3.01.11 on mi pad 2, unfortunately it does not make me work some netflix programs, and I wanted to restore from shell, but I can't. what is the command to give to restart the tablet in recovery twrp? thank you
Hi,
I cant install android apps at all. Even cant find the "Android support" app in the jolla store. I am new in Sailfish, maybe just some stupid mistake?
Would be so great to see another working rom on this device Thanks for your work, hope for more developement.

Anyone with MIUI 11 Indonesia fw - Android 10 version got the bluetooth problem?
I have two Redmi Note 8 Pro and both got same bluetooth mac 00:00:46:00:00:01.
anyone?
Have you tried changing the Bluetooth codec settings under developer options? There are a couple other settings there that probably won't change the mac but can't hurt to try?
Seems the nvram data is corrupted.
Lucky the IMEI & wifi mac are intact.
Is there any way to edit this BT mac using SN Writer Tool?
I have a difficulty to find the required database file for SN Write Tools.
Maybe something is corrupted, but on both phones?
Have you tried flashing a different ROM? That would prove if the issue is in the NVRAM data.
I haven't seen any other entries about issues with the mac address on any of the other forums either.

Yeah, strangely on both phones.
I tried Global ROM (was Indonesian ROM) but still the same.
Plus I think there's strange hardware issue when it's left cold on table overnight then I reboot it, it can't detect any SIM till another reboot.
There is an Xposed module that allows you to change it, but I think it won't work on Q. Aside from that, might have to wait for someone else to chime in.

enable Second Space then reboot then check the Bluetooth MAC.
seems there's a bug in the Android 10 ver.
also if I enable Dual Apps, there's another bug (present in Poco F1 as well) like in the screenshot, the name of all app is null.

I'm running Android 9, did you still want me to verify the Bluetooth Mac before and after enabling second space?
Your attached screenshot is illegible
ah if you still on Android 9 then no.
coz Android 9 got no such problem.

Bluetooth MAC address fix:
1. Using FX File Explorer with Root abilities, navigate to /mnt/vendor/nvdata/APCFG/APRDEB/BT_Addr then copy it to your PC.
2. Then open up the file by using Hex Editor.
3. 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.
Note by me: Use FX Explorer to put the file back to device, it can set the SELinux part correctly & exactly like the original. You only need to match the rw permission with the original permission.
BLUETOOTH MAC OF OUR DEVICE IS 1 number greater than WIFI MAC. So if your wifi mac is 01:01:01:01:01:01, your bluetooth mac should be 01:01:01:01:01:02.
